We have heard much, Mr, Presi dent, in the present discussion, about the growth ot the new States; but, if 1 may judge Irom the various meas ures proposed on the present, occasion, we have nither realized , iti rapiditv, nor the unavoidable changes in our land system which must follow in its train. Their wonderful rrowth is, indeed, one of those realities almost beyond the grasp of imagination. When I go back twenty-seven years.to the period when I first became a mem ber of the other House, -and -compare hiL,ibe to what they now are, I am lost In wonder and amazement.

But as wonderful as has been the increase in Wis body, it -will be still more so.after the next census, in the oili er. It will be taken next year.and a new appointment of the membtirs - will be made under: the Constitution; when, instead of a single member, being less than one in a hundred as w as the case twenty-seven years ago, the representa tion of the new states will then stand lo the oliUaUeast, at i Tot ty to Bixty,nras nothing short 1 open plunder, aswhicn ts not a-lopiel Willi inespprooa two-lilihs ol the whole, as calculated by a friend familiar with the subject, ami in whose accuracy I have entire conljdcnce.

So much for the past. . Now if we turn to the future, we shall find the cause of. this amazing growth so far from being exhausted or weakened, is acting with increased force, and urging forward tlia growth of those States with accelerated, in stead of a decreaing, velocity so much So, that the past changes in the last twenty-seven years will appear as nothing compared with what will lake place in the next twenty seven, unless some unforeseen occurrence should in tervene to retard their progress. If my memory serves me, our population. twenty-seven years Qgo, was about seven millions; and our annual increase then, that is, the excess of births over deaths. including emigration, about two hun dred thousand, estimating our growth at three per cent, - ctuupeund. Since then, our population has increased not les than nine millions, making the present prabably about sixteen; which, on. the same data, will make our annu al increase at (his lime but little abort of half a million; the greater part of which will nnd their lmines in the new States. I will not enter info a minute cal-l culatjnn as to the effects of. this great increase on the relative weight' F the new and old Slates at the next suc ceeding census, in . 1850.

The right to adopt it may, in the first place, be. fairly.questioned. We held the public domain as a coin mot property r fuml, Wlonging to the States of the Union in their confeder ated, and not in their individual char- purchase, out of common funds belonir. ing to lheUniov or by cession from the Btatea of the Union,' lo be held as a fund in common) and I am at a loss to conceive what right we have to make that which belongs to the whole Union as a common fund, tbe separate fund of each State. It teems to me that it cannot be done without a manifest breach of trust and a violation of the Constitution. This is no new opinion, formed, for ihe occasion. It was, on the contrary, formed when its author first introduced the measure, and when he and myself thought alike as to the necessity of relieving the Treasury f its surplus, in order to avpid the diffi culties and the dangers which have .since followed. Believing, then, that it would be effectual lor that purpose, and innre easily adopted thair-any nth rr I examined it. with an inclination to embrace it as a temporary measure of relief against a pressing "evilj but it was impossible for ine to bring my mind to assent lu the right of adopting iiirtiw me wnoie expense oi ine uovrrn gravate it.
