I ike ill rytanJ resolutions it mu3t be ex Beeted will soon become the topic of inter nting controversy in Congress. \i e have lever known a public question so clear in Is abstract merits and yet so involved with Biatter that, in no way appertains toit. The Resaleable ground lies it) a narrow compass, ■onfiuitig the point at issue ‘to the naked , Inquiry, has Congress acted in confonni ■v to the principles of the confederacy in Kaki n S an appropriation of the public ter |itory in the partial manner that has been |ompiained of? Now can e readily imag-j B:c the existence of a difference f so iti-; |nent as to the nature, of the principle by j Bhich the apportii i ment in future should |c made ? \YJ can ctlso conceive that sound \ Btatesmen may entertain opposite views as |o the expediency of such an opportion'ine.nt |f the public territory as that in ques ; i. n. ■There are many practical considerations |hat must in politics restrain and limit that |vhich may be considered an undoubted Brincipie of justice in rin a' >ac r . Con- Bress, for instance, may detin it equitable Bo permit the old states to share equally |vith tiue new in ihe public lands reserved ■or education ; but the difficulty of fixing Bn a principle by which the distribution should be made—the impossibility of ad lusting the conflicting prehensions of the ■arge states who may claim their share in Bropoition to extent of territory, and the Kmuli who may demand thiers in the ratio Bf population—would induce a statesman ■even of large and liberal views to acqui lescc in a positive injustice to a part for the ■ultimate welfare, as he may conceive of ■the whole. We turn for a moment, however, to no tice the use which has been made of the argument in the Maryland Memorial that no equivalent has been received bv the old States for this liberal donation of land o the new. Why will the opponents of the Memorial urge that die enhanced value, of the public domain, as well sold as retained, constitutes a full equivalent ? How often are they to be told, that, this is an advan tage not exclusive, but shared in com mot; ay the new States as well us the old. >v, Wiiv will they also say, that the promo tion of education in the West, exclusively, by means of public bounty is lor national purposes? Let us admit Shut the literary instruction oi'the ciii/.ea of anv part of the Republic, tend* iti the and gree that it Is ] enjoyed to the happiness, tranquility and! perpetuity of the whole. Religious instruc tion is as necessary, however, as literary, fur the support ,f murals and the vir tues of civilization ; (mender. \ fact, the people of the West virtuous - un<i orderly citizens. Would not an appropriation of land, tor the erection <■! Churches in the new Spates be equally as proper as one! IV the endowment of .Sc ! cols and Colleges?! The apprupiiati-io i*for a n?.!io‘ l purpose] when being tr.sy o?;d practicable to destri-j bate t’ie y x\ ao equal manner, it is lo f t.:t (list! ibu'e-i according to this pi inci |)’e. it i:i_t roc,icable* to give to each of the i - * ■:* tlie amount to which it is entitled f<- r n*.-,lion of education.

A Coroner’s inquest has this day been held upon the body of a person who was found at the water’s edge, i:i this town, ha ving been drowned. 0:i examination ot the pocket of the deceased, a pocket book was found containing sundry papers, by which ii was ascertained that his name was j Levi Palmer, and from a protection found jin his pocket-book, granted by the Collec tor at Bath, it appeared that he was born in Halloweil, Me, that lie was about the age o! 45 year - io January Inst, when said protection was granted.

It was in evidence that this man was a pas se.iger on tioar and the schooner Thebe, of Portland, which lay in this port the present [week. Certain circumstances had led to a j suspicion tba-t this man, who, ou Sunday ‘last, war ascertained to have been missing, j had b.-t o murdered by the ctew of the j aforesaid schooner, hi consequence, the crew were brought before a magistrate ou j Monday, but it appeared on examination I that there was nothing to substantiate so depraved an act, and tiiey were My discharged. They stated that they left i Palmer on board tin- schooner alone, on (Saturday afternoon, and on their return Mate in the. evening, he was missing, and ‘thecabin windows open; and it is with j pleasure stated, nothing like violence was discovered on the body, nor any wounds or j bruises whatever.
