I Tiavej thought that my private griefs ougntnot longer to prevent me from at tempting, 411 as I feel qualified, to dis 1 .tl? 1 A . . -r cnaigc Biy puuiic ounes. .nd l now rise, in pursuance of the notice which has been given, to ask leave to introduce a yfVrWriaie Ior a limited time, the procdof the sales of the public lands e5iiJ7nited States, aud fofgrant- mg land to certain States. v I feel it incumSent on me to make a brief explanation of the highly important measure which I have now the honor propose. The bill, which I desire to in troduce, provides for the distribution of the.proceeds of the public lands in the jears io,aa, ai, ao9 oo, ana , among tne twenty-rour states or the union, and conforms substantially to that which pass ed in 1 8$5. It is therefore of a tempora ry character ; .but if it shall be found to have a salutary operation,if will be in the power of a future Congress to give, it an indefinite continuance ; and. if other wise, it will expire bv its own terms. In the event of War unfortunately breaking out with any foreign power, the bill is to cease, arid the fund which it distributes is to be applied to the prosecution of the WaK The bill directs that ten per cent, of the net proceeds of the public lands, sold within the limits of the seven new States, shall be first set apart for them, in addition to the five per cent reserved by their several compacts with the Unit ed Stateslj and that the residue of the proceeds,' whether from sales made in the States or; Territories, shall be divided a mong the; twenty-four States, in propor tion to their respective federal population. In this rejspect the bill conforms to that which wap introduced in 1832. For one I should have been willing to have allow ed the new States instead of ten per cent ; but as that was objected to by the President in hisyeto Message, and has been opposed in other quarters, I thought it best to restrict the allowance to the more moderate sum. The bill also cnt tains large and liberal grants of land to several olj the new States, to place them upon ati equality with others to which the bounty of. Congress has been heretofore extended,! and provides that, when other new States shall be admitted into the U- nion, they shall receive their share of the common fund. The nett amount of sales of the public lands in the year 1833 was the sum of 83,967,682 55, in the year 1834 was 4,57,5U0 69, and in the year 1835, according! to actual receipts in the three hrst quarters & an estimate of the fourth, is 813,222,121 15, making an aggregate for the three years of 821,047,404 39. This aggregate" is what the hill proposes to distribiiteiand pay to the twenty-four States on fhe first day of May, 1 836, up on the principles which I have stated. The difference between the estimate made by the Secretary of the Treasury and that which I iiave offered of the product of the lasi quarter of this year, arises from my jhaying taken,, as thef possible sum, one-Hhird of the total amount of the th ree first quarters, and he'some other conjectural sum. Ded&etin from the 821,047,404 39 the Jfteenpef cent, to which the j seven newStatesaccording to the bill will be first enjtitied, amount ing to 82,612,350 18, there will remain for distribution among the twenty-four States of the Union, the .sum of 818,435 054 21. Of this sum the proportion of Kentucky !will be 8960,947 51, ofVir ginia the siira of 1,581,669 S9, of North Carolina 988,632" 42, and of Pennsylva nia 2.088,233 32. The proportion oi Indiana, including the titteen per ct. will be 8855,588 28, of Ohio 1,677,110 84, and of Mississippi 958,945 42. And the" proportions of all the twenty four States are indicated in a table which I hold in ihy hand, prepared at my in stance in the office of the Secretary of me senate, anu 10 wnicn any csenator may have access. The grounds on which the extra allowance Is; made to the new States are, first, ftheir cVrriplaint that all lands sold by th federal Government are five years exempted from State taxation, se condly, that it is to Jbe applied in such manner as win augment tne value ot the ii unsold public lands within them, and last ly, their recent settlement. It may be recollected that a bill passed both Houses of Congress, in the session which terminated on the 3d March 1833. for the distribution of the amount receiv ed from the public lands, upon the Drin ciples of that now offered. The President in his message at the commencement of the prejrious session, had specially invit ed trie attention of Congress to the sub ject of the public lands, had adverted to tneir liDerauon irom tne pledge tor the payment of the public debt;- and had in timated his readiness to concur" in any disposal of them which 'might appear to ; hit'mony, and general interest of the & ? niericah'pepplc v - After such a messasre. the President's disapprobation of the bill could not have been anticipated. It was presented to him on the 2d of March, 1833. It was not returned as the Constitution requires. but was retained by him after the expira tion of his official term, and until the next session of Congress, which had no power to act upon it. It was understood and believed that, in anticipation of the passage of the bill, the President had prepared objections to it, -which he tiad hntended to return with his negative 5 bit ue uiu no i. ii tne dim nan Deen returnea, there is reason to believe that it would have passed, notwithstanding those ob jections. In the House, it had beep oar- ried by a majoritylof more than two-thirds And, in the Senate, although there was not that majority on its passage, it was supposed that, in consequence of the pas sage of tlje Compromise Bill, some of the Senators who had voted against he Land Bill had changed their views, and would have voted for it upon its return, and others had left the Senate. There are those who believe that the bill was unconstitutionally retained by the President, and now is the law of the and. But whether it be so or not. the General Government holds the public do main in trust for the common benefit of all the States; and it is, therefore, com-1 petent to provide by law that the trustee shall make distribution of the proceeds of he three past years, as well as future years among those entitled to the benefi cial- interest. The bill makes such a provision. And it is a very remarkable. hat the sum which it proposes to distri bute is about the gross surplus, or balance estimated in the Treasury on the 1st of anuary 1836. Avhen the returns of the ast quarter of the year come in, it will probablybe found that the surplus is lar ger than the sum which the bill distri butes. . But if it should not be, there will remain the seven millions held in , the Bank of the United States, applicable? as ar as it may be received, to the service of the ensuing year. It would be premature now to; enter in to a consideration of the probable reven ue of future years ; but at the proper time,4 think it will not be dimcult to show that, exclusive of what may be received rom the public lands, it will be abun dantly sufficient, for all the economical purposes of Government, in a time of peace. And the bill, as I have already tated, provides for seasons of war. I wish to guard against all misconception by repeating, what I have heretofore se veral times said, that this bill is not bunded upon any notion of a power in Congress to lay and collect taxes and distribute" the amount among the several States. I think Congress possesses no such power, and has no right to exercise until some such r amendment as tjiaf proposed by the Senator from South Car olina (Mr. Calhoun) shall be adopted. But the bill rests on the basis of a clear and comprehensive grant of power to Congress over the territories and pro perty of the United States in the Consti tution, and upon express stipulations in the deeds of cession. Mr. President I have ever regarded, with feelings of the profoundest regret the decision which the President of thl United States felt himself inducetftto make oh the bill of 1833. If it had been his pleasure to approve it, the Heads of Departments would not now be taxing their ingenuity to find out useless objects of expenditure, or objects which may be well postponed to a more distant day. If the bill had passed, about twenty mil- ions ot dollars would have been, during the last three years, in the hands of the several States, applicable by them to the beneficent purposes, ot Internal Improve ment, Education, or Colonization.
