' The most of these how ever, assessed their lands in 1838 ac cording to the provision of this art. Hating thus presented the subject in such of its bearings as s emed obvious ly to till within the province of this Department, it may not be improper upon dismissing it to remark, that' the most general obje ction urged against the law by the community, appears to be, the Want of uniformiiy of valuation un der it, not on 5 in the same comity but very frequently in ihe same neighbor- that the assessors apMinted for each tax ilia rict, act atjtvery stage of their pro ceedings, without any concert with those appointed fr the other districts in Ihe nine county.

As the question seemed toaddres itself more properly to the Legislature, it was deemed bett to bring it at once before you. In the mean time, the Trustees have executed their obligation to the Public Treasurer, to pay the tsx, should the Legislature indicate a preference for that course.

He established the facts, as hereto fore alleged by him, in reference to the connection formed between the Bank and the Government. All the allega tions which he had made, were, as He showed, fully borne out by the Report" , He established the fact, from the document itself, that an agreement was made, witli the assent and approbation of the Secretary of the Treasury, that ihe Bank of the United State should keep, transfer, and pay money Tor the Government as its general (not local) fiscal areiit. The iftoney n-ceived for tin tmn.U was but the open credit of the Government with the stipulation that it should be drawn out, as the Gov ernment wanted it, and paid to public creditors, at distant places. He show ed that there was no necessity for an ticipating the second bond of the Bank, ami that it was an arrangement, made by Mr. Biddte, for The profit and inter est of the Bank, and a pare of the con sideration of the contract fur the pur chase of the first bond. Ihe bonds were sold, not in pursu ance of the Isw, for cash, but in viola tion. of Jaw, for an open credit with the Bank. II proved the fact, and chal lenged any Senator to deny it. that the proceeds of the sale of Bonds were put on general deposite with the Bank, and not cm upecial deposite, or "as On special deposite," as Mr. VVoOduury had stated in his Annual Report I he Bank, aTeallTJUdetrrfo--nts re sources by the transactional!! the nrsi place, iney stopped me interest on the debt ilue to the Bank; it enabled, the Bunk to pay its debts in its own notus; to avail itself uf the difference of exchange; and at distant points, to pay public creditor, in depreciated lo cal paper.

Mr. Clay of Rentucky, with due de ference to the committee, must, he said, protest against the course of the committee- as contrary to their instruc tions. The object of the Semite in a dopting the instructions was to limit the benefit of the Bill to actual tilers, and to restrict the quantity of land to be entered by them. But Tho aioeml- ment reported made no restriction a to the "quantity of land to, be enteied: and the Committee also propose a. lur tber; extension of the right of entry to ccitain persons, citizens of the new States.
