WKBCH OP MR. KINO, OP GEORGIA. On the Lund Bill. —(ooncLcexa.) E»en if this surplus money (lie said) had born raised by taxation improperly, ifewould have been better to have relumed it than wasted it. A great deal of alang had been used to create a prejudice against the distribution or deposite bill, by repro bating the idea of taxing the People to return (Ac mortem to them under a »ytem of distribution. It pethapa never occurred to those wise lecturers that the ettotomo, for the latt three years, had not paid the expet net of the Government, or any thing lihe it i and this moment, but for the ex traordinary proceeds of the bind rales, there would have been no surplus, and the Treasury would have been bankrupt. No human foresight could have foreseen or prevented this surplus. It could not have been done without an entire repeat of the tariff (too yeart ago ; and if any man had proposed an entire repeat of duties two years ago, «n the ground that the lands would bring into the Treasury fotty millions the next two year*, when they had never before produced more than throe ■or four millions a year, he would have been pro nounced a madman. And as to “ a system” of distribution, nobody, he presumed, ever thought of a tyttrn. The ob ject was was to provide a present remedy for an already existing evil, not to raise or create a sur plus for future distribution; and he had voted to ntcroach on the appropriations, by dividing a part of the unexpended balance, that it might be un necessary to repeat this, or adopt any extiaordi nary measure, to disporc of a future surplus. The surplus revenue already divided would do a great deal of good if it could be permitted to remain with the Stairs. In ten years it would change the face of this continent, and gentlemen are very much deceived if they believe the mea sure unpopular with the People. They will un derstand their rights in this matter, and, as the money arose from the sale of the national do main, in which the People of the Slates have an equal interest, they consider themselves fairly en titled to thisjmoney until the Government really nerds it. Believing the Government would pro bably never need it, they have projected improve tncnls on the faith of it, and, although they will return it cheerfully, if actually needed, they will never willingly return it to answer a necessity created hy an unjust and odious measure for the express purpose. It is the only farthing, said he, that the old States have ever received from litis immense properly once their own. Millions upon millions, on the. other hand, have already been lavished upon the new States, and we now propose to hack this pittance, that we may ho en abled to give away the remainder. Though this distribution or deposite hill, lie ■said, was tlie only measure which relieved us from the difficulties of an overflowing Treasury, with any tolerable jttslice to the People, yet he re spected the motives of those who originally voted ■against it. His honorable colleague, whose inte grity and patriotism needed no encomium from iiim, had voted against it. He respected his mo tives, and hud no reason to believe that his own were not in return duly appreciated. The mea sure was a novel one, and those who had not ful ly examined and deeply reflected on the absolute necessity of it, might well have doubled the poll «B,BS*hi WMifWk .RW, t !\?, n KM ur .?u ha .'!.i;i , .?“' was generally well employed. And, as the mon ey arose from the sale of piO|M>rly, v under extra ordinary circumstances, and not by taxation, there was no sort of danger from the precedent, Some were mlirh alarmed for the morals of the People, which they affected to think were much endangered hy the use of a little of their own mo ney. To these conservators of the public morals, . he would only suggest the danger of being told by the People that they might be, perhaps, as well employed in taking care of their own. This money, he’repealed,|wou!d generally bo employed Xo good account, and he thought it a mistake to suppose that it would ever he popular in the new Slates to recall this money for the benefit of spec ulators and squatters; for this hill would be ex tremely confined in its benefits ; and ho doubted whether, in the aggregate, any new Stale would he materially benefited by it. It would greatly limit the quantity of land sold, hut much increase the profits of speculators, hy confining it very much to those who would not scruple at fraud* and false oaths to evade and violate the law. Like most unjust measures, based on wrong prin ciples, it would inflict injury on some, without s corresponding advantage to others.. It was ruin to the old Stales, and of doubtful benefit to most of the new. Even the large speeiilalora, so much I denounced, conferred many benefits onthdSiatea * in which they purchased, to compensate for any j supposed inconvenience they occasion. They are men, often, of capital and enterprise, and pro ject and execute the most important internal im provements in the, country. They carry out good industrious settlers, and sell them portions of the land at fair prices, in order to improve the value of the remainder, and net unproductive •quatlers, who may he hired to sit down in (he ! shade to secure a valuable pre-emption to bo sold on speculation. Mr. IC. said ho had consumed so much more • time on the general subject than he intended when he arose, that lie would ho brief upon the clause! which it was proposed to strike out. He said that j he should vole to strike out this pre-emption j clause., not that it varied much in principle from | the rest of the bill, hut just upon the principle j that he would vote to strike out die whole hill, I The whole bill was one for the establishment of a ayatem of fraudulent speculation, and ho would vote to narrow it down by striking any and every clause from it, till it might entirely disappear. This motion had, he said, again given lise to a great deal of eloquence on the high virtues of squatters. A happy talent that, possessed hy his friend from Mississippi, of being eloquent just as well on one subject a* another. A real, genuine squatter was really one of the driest subjects for eloquence that ever presented itself to the mind of any orator. If he were going, he said, to work himself up into a paroxysm of eloquence, u squat ter was about the last subject he should select to siir up this emotion. Ho would as soon go to the penitentiary to select subjects for canoniza tion, as to go among the squatters to inspire him with eloquence. He should not know on what •point of a squatter’s character to become pathetic, and would, therefore, be constantly in danger of crying at the wrong .place. The Senator from Mississippi, (Mr. Walker,) might produce im pressions on some generous hearts, by his imagin ary pictures of the humble virtues of these law breakers; but, if so, it must be upon those who know nothing about them. There might be some exceptions; but take the border-squatters as a class, and they were certainly the most worthless sot of men who have any claim to the honor of be ing American citizens. There were mostly an idle, profligate set of men, who hover along the frontier settlements, with their beads full of all sorts of schemes for living without profitable labor. They are, said he, men who frequently find it very convenient to he exempt from the operation of the laws both civil and criminal. They, therefore, generally keep lieyond the organized limits of the country. They produce not the worth of a dollar to add to the exports of the country, and they consume nothing that pays a lax to the Govern ment. They perform no civil duties, and dis charge none of the obligations of society. They penetrate beyond your borders, often in the neigh borhood of Indian tribes, or among them, and by aquatting upon the land of the Government, and stealing their provisions from the Indians, they literally live by unlawful depredation. They are the very men who provoke most of your Indian •vara, which cost us millions of money, and many lives better than their own. Where is their mer it, to give them this heavy claim to favor over the rest of the citizens cf the country 1 Yet they come hero, asking heavy rewards for crime, and large premiums for a violation of the laws. Yes; aqd gentlemen, with the evidences of outrage in the very petitions they present, press their claims upon the sympathies of the Senate hy fancy pic tures of the humble virtues of the induslious poor. The honest, laborious cultivator of the soil ap peals to you to protect him against the avarice and rapacity of the odious speculator. Why, sir, (said Mr. K) such is the influence of language, upon the thoughts of men, that to the mere force of names and epithets may perhaps be attributed three-fourhs of all the error and delu sion by which the views and sentiments of men have ever been misled. Something like an excite raetlt has beeq got up in the (’handier, by apply ing epithets to men entirely inconsistent with their character. Men who violate the lawa, trespass upon the public property, and treat the authority of the Government with habitual contempt, arc here christened the hard-handed, honest-hearted cultivators of Iho soil, deserving the peculiar fa vor of the Government; whilst the orderly citizen, who ke-ps within your survey* complies'wilh all the form .dities of our laws, and but a what the Government has to sell at the price the Govern ment fixes on it, is branded a< an avaricious spe culator, a land glutton, art (slums character, who deserves some signal mark of the displeasure of the Government and the country ; great merit is claimed for|those hardy yeomanry who penrlrale the wilderness, and select and settle upon the choice «[«rls, before the lands arc brought into market. The dangers they encounter, and risks they run in making these settlements, are suppos ed to entitle them to these choice selections, on which they make such enormous profits as soon as the pre-emption is secured. Why, sir, the midnight house-breaker might just as well insist that he had an honest elainuto all the properly in the house, to compensate him for the risk of break ing in. Did any body ever suppose a squatter ever “ penetrated the, wilderness” in advance of the surveys and settlements, from patriotic mo tives I Who told them to snfler these dreadful privations! If'e forbid them hy law ; and yet, to make large speculations with little or no labor, they patriotically violate the law, and then claim ed to he rewarded for it. These great cultivators, ho said, pioneered for ns without consent, selected all the choice spots, mill-scats, water powers, town sites, &c. and so soon as they secure a pre-emp tion, and sell out for enormous profits, they pa- Iriotira/ht “ penetrate the wilderness" endure dreadful hardships, and, for the good of their country, squat down somewhere else. The Sen ator from Ohio, from actual observation, had given us an idea of the farmt of these cultivations, ami which was known also to a great extent, by docu ments from the land offices, and notoriously true. They build a three-cornered pen, (a square pen being too onerous,) and sow it in grain, or they plant a few stalks of red pepper or tomatoes. This crop is recommended hy not requiring a close enclosure, and hecante it will grow in the shade; for these public benefactors, who moke such sa scriliccs for the good of the country, are often too lazy to belt a sapling. By these picked settle ments they often make enormous profits for them selves or those capilulists who have hired (hem to squat. It was, he said emphatically, nut a sys tem of settlement and cultivation, hut of squatting and speculation. These selections, made in this way before the country is brought into maikrl, frequently sell fur a profit of five or ten thousand dollars; (these prices lie has known given in a few instances himself;) and in one noted instance n million and a half is the estimated value. Why give to a few adventurers, whatever might he their character, such an immense advantage over the rest of their fellow-citizens. By the way, (Mr. K. said good liutnorcdly,) lie hoped his friend from Connecticut (Mr. Niles) would not be. permitted to vote ; his head had evidently been turned hy the prospects of Urge profits from that squalling speculation. With out some insensible influence, he could not see how it was possible for any member from an old Stale to vole (or this hill. The Senator had very candidly confessed to us that one of his friends, • screw renew, nan ncen inm/.rinn surveys, and, having selected about fifty valuable tracts lo bo secured by squatting, had marked the name of bis friend upon a tree lo secure one of them for him. And lie (Mr. K.) would venture that, if this bill passed, his friend would have his pen and his paper upon it in less than six months. And Mr. K. would venture further, that the whole ffiy tracts would be secured under the law : for one tegular branch of these preemption specu lations was carried on by these “ shrew follows,” who furnish tho capital and enlist regiments to secure theso valuable selections hy pre-emption claims. But it was said tho object of this bill was “ safety guarded by oaths,” dec. Yes, hy oaths ; and of what account were oaths against theso immense bounties to perjury and corrup tion ! Hud we not sufficient trial of the efficacy of these oaths already 1 The object and language of the pre-emption laws heretofore passed, lie said, were as plain as need be; and yet we see how settlements have been made, and are also officially informed that there are bushels of con tradictory affidavits in tho Land office, exhibiting a muss of corruptions disgraceful lo the coun'ry, embarrassing to the whole Department, and re quiring additional labor to settle the conflicting claims. It will bo recollected, 100, that we never j hear of these corrupt evasions of the law except , in cases of conflict among the scramblers them ■ selves, or between one of them and a regular entry. ; The whole system (he ..util) was wrong in prin ciple, demoralizing in practice, mid a gross hand upon the orderly citizens of the United Stales. If the object was only to enable the poor cultivator to got a home at (i 1.25 per acre, and not to lavor the “ shrewd fellows” and idlers, who wish to speculate on their Battlements without labor, where was the necessity for these xiufitii picfercticcs I There were, he believed, about one hundred and twenty million acres now surveyed, and subject to private entry. These lauds they cun enter according to law. Are they not good enough to j settle I Why, Iho Senator from Mississippi has just told us that these lands are worth so much i more than one dollar and twenty-five cents, \ that unless wo pass this law they will bo sacri ficed, and go into the hands of speculators in a lew | years. Yet these lands, though many of them are worth ten times the Government price, as slated by tho Senator from Mississippi, are not a sufficient bargain to satisfy the claims of these voluntaiy pioneers, whose patriotism and unceas ing re.yard for the interests of (licit country result in such happy speculations for themselves. Mr. K. said ho was somewhat apprehensive that tho Sonata;’ from Mississippi would make a spirited reply lo hfut in defence of the squatters; and as he was very ait.xious to prevent such a prodigal waste of the eloquence of his friend on so unworthy a subject, he would just admit, for all the purposes of tho question, that these squat ters were ns good ns the rest of their fellow-citi zens. Wore they any thing better! If they be poor and laboring men, are they any Wile; than the other poor and laboring men throughout the Union who have equal claims to the national do main ! Is (hero any thing so potAliarly praise worthy in n violation of the laws and the perpe tration of unauthorized trespasses, ns to claim the peculiar favor and patronage of tho Government! These pre-emptions (Mr. K. said) wore a source of endless confusion as well as corruption, and were a perfect nuisance to tho Laud office. He had received a letter a few days ago from a citizen of Missouri, which he had intended to read, ns a sort of instruction to his friends from that State. Ho had mislaid it, and, as it bore so strongly on the subject, he was fearful some i friend of pre-emption had committed a theft up on him. However that it might he, the writer . slated, among other things, that it was very desirable to put an end to this odious system; ■ that it was unfair and unjust to other citizens, ami , created great embarrassment in the regular outlies. ' This latter statement, he said, was only what we ■ already knew from official documents. The truth was, that persons making entries did not some ■ times see or hear of the pen, and entered the land, not knowing that there was any pre-emp tion claim on it. This produced a conflict, which • was sent here for settlement, thus greatly embar rassing the duties and increasing the labors of the Department. Tlie whole system, in any way it could he re gulated, was wrong from beginning to end. It was bounty to idleness and vice, a cheat upon the honest citizen, and a nuisance to the Government. He should vole to strike out lheclausc.de ho would ' vole to strike out any nud every other clause, un til the wliolehad disappeared. He was against the 1 whole bill, the whole object of the bill, because • it parcels out a common land among speculators i and squatters; because it virtually invites a 1 scramble for our great national domain, in which • those who have the least merit will make the best . speculations. The sales on speculation will be - reduced in quantity, but the profits will lie enor ; inously increased,and very much confined to the least worthy, who will not scruple at fraud, per ! juiy, and evasion ; because it is n gross injustice j lo the old Slates to deprive thorn of an equal par ! ticipaliou in this national domain, depreciate the - property of their citizens, and drain them of their i wealth and population; because there is really no ■ necessity, or even apology, for the measure—a • large surplus the present year ticiiig next to im possible ; because tn no view of the subject coil the pretended emergency I* more than temporary I and of very short duration ; and it is the worst I of pohry lo legislate upon great abiding national I inlcreats upon every trifling or lemporaiy occasion. It unsettles property, creates speculation, renders , judgment and experience of no value, makes 1 every thing depend on the changes of legislation, and keeps the property of the errantry continually ■ changing hands. For there and the many other reasons that might he given against a bill that i had not one single recommendation to compen f sate for iu enormous injustice and the many evils i that Would grow out of it, hr should vote to ; strike out the fourth clause, and against the whole bill.

I The motion pending being to strike out from t the list of articles maiie free of duty the item of “common salt." Mr. Davis spoke at length in defence of his I; motion to strike out this item. He showed that during the period of the commencement of the revolutionary strugglo the country felt the neccs ity of holding out inducements to the making of salt, so as to emancipate the country from the dependence an foreign countries for that article. Resolutions were pas-ed in 1775 especially call ing out the enterprise of the country on that ques tion. He went on to quote subsequent resolu tions and proceedings In sbuw the progress of the history ot the taxation of this article. It was rai sed in 1797, aud in 1807 was repealed when the recollection of the former sufferings of the coun try had been forgotten. The arguments used in favor of that repeal were the, same as those now used by lire Senator from Misssouri. He begged f that the Senate would consider what was due to the fisheries upon which Ike repeal of lire tax of salt would operate most oppressively, It would have the effect ofdeslroyitg that great nursery 1 of seamen which had hem so valuable to the , counlay.

On motion of Mr. Glascock, a resolution was adopted directing the Secretary of the Navy to cause an examination and survey to be made of , the South Atlantic Coast, with a view to the es , tablishmert ofbuoys and light houses and to re port the result to the House at the next session. The House resumed the consideration of the Bill making appropriations for the Naval Ser vice of the United States, for 1837. f The question being on the motion of Mr. Jar vis to strike out, the item of 400,000 dollars for filling outthe Ship of the Line, Pennsylvania, a long discussion look place in which Messrs Jarvis Pearce of R, I, Reid, and Sutherland took part. The item was ultimately stricken out and the *amc turn ( $400,000) was allowed in addition to other sums appropriated for the purpose of building ai d equipping ten small vessels of war carrying from ten to eight guns. Mr. Dunlap renewed his motion to amend the hill by inserting an appropriation forthe estab lishment of a Hospital at Memphis, and spoke at length on the subject. The motion was agreed to. The hill was then ordered to a third reading. From the N. Y. Daily Express, Fell. 22. SIX DAYS LATER * ROM EUROPE. Reported loss of the Packet ship Erie of AT. Yoi K, and Passengers. By an arrival at Boston we have news from London up to the Otli January, from Liverpool to the 10th. The news comes in the ship Nantaekct. Her Captain, Crocket, brings the news ofthe loss of the Ebie on the French coast near Havre. The Captain of the Erie was Samuel, Funk a young man. The Erie belonged to the line of John I. Boyd, who has been informed that the ship had hut Into cabin passengers and none in the steerage. The first officer of the Erie was Frederick C. Leede and the second Starsbury French. P. S. Mr. Boyd has requested us to slate that it is his belief thnt the Erie is not lost. His letters from Havre, by the Normandie, are up to the 4th February, which makes no mention of the loss of the Erie. She sailed 25th January. The Capt. of the Normandie brought the names ofthe vessels lost upon the coast, and the Erie is not among the number. The Liverpool Times, however, of the 10th Feb. confirms the report ofthe Nantaaket. The Liverpool packet ship St. Andrew, bound to Now York, was to sail on the 10th. The New York Packet ship Erie, Captain Funk, from Havre, bound to New York, was lust near Havre on Ist January and every per son on board perished. No particulars are given of this disaster. Letters from Toulon ofthe 20th December, mention that the preparations for the new ex pedition against Constantine continued, and with renewed nativity—2ooo men were to be embarked immediately. The Carlist official journal, the Gazetted’ Onutc, says that Don Carlos is confined to bis bed by an indisposition, of a nature so serious as to cause much uneasiness. The Switzerland Gazettte Universal says, on authority which is respected, that at the commencement of 1837, the German powers were to commence a blockade of the Swiss cantons, on account of the alleged non-execu tion of the conclusion. In relation to the Money Market the Lon don Obvorecr of the 7th says, “ Among the monied and commercial interests in the city, the fooling has increased in favor of the f'u 1 i and speedy restoration of confidence and the , resumption of activity in all departments of ' trade and commerce.

Philadelphia, Oct. 15, 1836. {Copiedfromthe Boston Morning Post.) r To Dr. Williams, Oculist: l Sir—As a friend to suffering humanity, I can- 1 not but express my satisfaction in reading the lollowing article from the Boston Pilot, of April 1 12, which, as a friend, I advise you to preserve, as it corroborates the immense number of persons . restored to sight, or cured of diseases of the eye, _ many of whom are within my own knowledge, since your arrival in this city. A FRIEND TO TRUTH. ' Boston, April 14,1830. t [From the Boston Pilot, of April 12,1836.] DR. WILLIAMS, THE OCULIST. “In copying from one of our city cotcmpora- ' ries. the annexed remarks on Dr. W’illiaras, at the special request of three of our friends and patrons in Boston, who have received great bene fit from Dr. Williams’ treatment of their eyes, we would say, what truth and justice warrant, that we have known, some years ago, several in the city of Dublin of our friends and acquaintances, whose eye sight was restored to the clearness of primitive vision, through the efficacious applica tions of this skilful and successful oculist. We accompanied, in Dublin, on two or three occa sions, some of our friends who were then deprived of the blessings of eye sight, to Dr. Williams’s lodgings, where we were convinced by ocular proof of the beneficial effect of his remedies.” Copied from the Boston Daily Patriot, Jan. 8, 1836. “We publish on the first page of today’s pa per, an advertisement of Dr. John Williams, Ocu list, who has lately arrived from Europe, qpd of fers his services for the relief iff those who may require them, during a short residence in this city. Keys the author of a ‘ Practical Treatise on the Diseases of the Eyes and Ears,’ published in France, in which is contained the history of a great number of remarkable cures. The newspa pers, and other "documents from France, which we have seen, show that he has acquired a great celebrity by the extent of his practice in that country.” (OMMKUtIIL.

COTTON—The market during the latter part of the week was not so animated as it had been, the dull slate of the Charleston and Savannah markets having caused a corresponding dullness in ours, and it was difficult, on Friday and Saturday, to obtain the prices of the early ol the week ; but we pre sume that the accounts (published in our paper to day,) from Liverpool, to the 10th ult. will again re new the drooping spirits of our buyers. Wc now quote 11 a 164 cents, ns the extremes of the market. GROCERIES—Wo have no change to notice. EXCHANGE —At sight on NewjYork, continues scarce, and sales were made out. of doors on Satur day at 11 per cent, end payable on the 15th of March at li per cent. FREIGHTS, —To Savannah 81 per bale; to Charleston $1,25 by steam boats, and 4 cent per pound by Rail Road. Liverpool Cotton Market, Jan. 9. The cotton market is firm, and Brazils are a shade higher since Friday. The sales to-day are 4000 bogs, and on Saturday 3000. Jan. 9.—The demand has been steady and exten sive, and though unaccompanied by any general or material advance, it may be considered an indica tion of confidence on the part of the trade in the : maintenance nt least of existing prices. The crop of cotton, which lias been the chief object of do | maud, is the common and middle quality of Ameri can, upon which an advance of 4 to 1 per lb. has 1 been established. Other sorts of American have nl- I so been in good request at the former rates. The whole amount of cotton imported into the kingdom | last year, was 1,189,194 bales, of which 359,794 were American. In the preceding year the whole amount was 1,079,515, of which, 756,832 were A raerican.

There was a fair demand in thocarly part 2 ofthe week for middle to good fair qualities of Up i lands, and the principal part of the sales we report i were made at thnt period, since which the races has engrossed the attention of our citizens generally, in consequence but little business has been attended to. 1 We notice no change in prices, therefore continue 1 our last quotations.— Mercury. i . s From the Alobile Mercantile Advertiser,"Feb. 22. r Cotton —Tiie cotton market may be sot down as r being in the same slate that it was prior to the re ceipts olthe Liverpool intelligence ofthe 4th Janua ry. On the day that intelligence was received the " demand was good, since which, however, it has re lapsed back into the same dull state at which it stood previously—except it bo (or the heller qualities, which may be set down at a shade higher, owing in some measure to the small amount on hand ol that i quality, wery little has been done, however, since , Friday. But the large quantity now coining into market will most probably produce some activity fora day or two to come. We quote 13 a 174 cts. , ns the standard extremes at the present time. There have been received since our last, 16144 bales, exported in the same lime 12794. And there i are now on hand 57430 bales. ‘ REVIEW OF THE NEW YORK MARKET, ' February 22. : Coffer. —The sales have included since our last 500 bags Brazil at Hi a 124 : 600 Cuba, 11a 124 ; and 3 a 400 bags Lnguira at 114 a 12} cents, the lat ter rale for prime Green. , Cotton. —The transactions continue moderate in extent,and without variation in rales.
