H AVING received a number of communications from in
dividuals making inquiries respecting my BRICK
MACHINE, invented by Calvin Waterman, and now in suc
cessful operation in this place, T take this method of answering
them. I invite all who may feel disposed to purchase rights
to come and .see the operation of the machine, and if there be
any who savs he is disappointed in his expectations, I bind
myself to pay the expenses of his trip. I do not expect to sell
a right to any one without their first having seen the machine;
but in order to afford au idea of its value, I annex the follow
ing certificates, one of thenrftfgned by two of the most expe
rienced brick masons in the Southern States. In my absence
from Macon the Editor^of the Macon Messenger will act as
my authorized agents. T. L. SMITH.
We having witnessed the performance of Mr. T. L. Smith’s
new Brick Machine, invented by Calvin Waterman, now in
operation in this place, take pleasure in recommending it to
the public. The fact of its performance is its best recom
mendation. We timed it, and find that with new moulds and
inexperienced hands, it made at the rate of two thousand three
hundred and sixty-eight brick per hour. By moulding ten
hours in the day, it would turn out twenty three thousand six
hundred per day. It requires six boys to bear oil' and four to
sand the moulds, Sue., together with four grown men. Thus
fourteen hands are sufficient to mane the above named quantity
OGLE'fnORPE UNIVERSITY.
I T has already been announced, that this Institution will
commence its exercises on the first Monday of January,
1838. The Board of Trustees, while again calling public at
tention to this fact, offer some remarks iu explanation of a new
feature which they have given to its character.
The University will consist of three departments, Collegi
ate, Academic, and Primary.
Any. person desirous of seeing the laws which govern the
Collegiate department, can obtain a copy of the pamphlet con
taining them, by application to B. P. Stubbs, of this place, Sec
retary and Treasurer of the Board.
Candidates for admission into the Freshmen class, must be
piepared to stand an examination on Ciesar's Commentaries,
four books, Cicero’s Select Orations, Mair’s Introduction to
Latin Syntax, the Gospels in the Greek Testament, Dalzel’s

1 have witnessed the performance of Mr. Tlieodorick L.
Smith's new brick machine, just put into operation in this place,
and feel no hesitation in pronouncing it a great and useful im
provement on any other method of brick making I have ever
seen, noth as to the quality of the brick and expedition in ma
king. By request, I timed the machine for halt an hour; the
result of that trial shows that with fourteen hands the machine
will turn out of beautiful and well tempered brick 2368 in one
hour, or about 40 to the minute.

ter directed to “ FREDERICK W. COOK, Lexinytmn,

[Provision will also be made for instruction in Modern Lan

Tiie Academic Department will consist of those who are
preparing for admission into this or any other College.
The Primary Department will be composed of those pur
suing the ordinary branches of an English education,
Tlie students in these two departments, as well as the Col
legiate, will be instructed by the Faculty of the College.
In consequence of this arrangement, boys, in the early stage
of their literary course, will enjoy advantages perhaps unsur
passed in this country, as they will be taught by a regular
Faculty; while the students of the College will receive the
full amount of instruction ordinarily given them, as will be
seen by a reference to their course of study. This system
will vastly increase the labor of the Faculty; this labor they
have however consented to undergo.
The adoption of this new plan has been caused by the pecu
liar state of the times. Though the amount on our subscrip
tion list is sufficient to warrant the commencement of the
work iri its original form, yet from the present state of affairs,
it would have been more than indelicate to call upon many in
dividuals for their subscriptions. On the other hand, many pa
rents have been making their arrangements to send their sons
to Midway during the next year. Such persons it would be
painful to disappoint, yet it would be impossible to proceed
for want of funds in hand. The coarse now announced as be
ing adopted, was then proposed—that is, to bring the Acade
my and College under the government and instruction of the
same President and Professors. By this arrangement the ex
penses of the Institution will be sustained, and all difficulties
in its way removed.
The Board of Trustees take this occasion to say, that after
this year the Steward’s Hall will be discontinued. This is
done, that there may be no hindrance in the way of such per
sons as may wish to move to Midway for the purpose of taking
boarders.
The Trustees close this communication by suggesting to pa
rents, (who desire their children to bo educated, and who
:annot afford to send them abroad for this purpose) the pro
priety of settling themselves at Midway. By taking board
ers, the expenses of their family could be more than sustain
ed, and their children of all ages receive a thorough and fi
nished education. To others disposed to turn their attention
to keeping boarders as a business, we would suggest that
Midway offers inducements inferior to few if any other posi
tions at the South—a healthy and delightful location, and
as many boarders as they may be able to accommodate.

GENERAL REGULATIONS.
The law requires that the money apportioned to each
county, shall be loaned only to the citizens of such counties
respectively, and that the endorsers, as well as the makers
of Notes, shall be residents of the county. The Board
will therefore require, in each case, a certificate of resi
dence both of makers and endorsers, which may be signed
by any civil officer of the county. But if the money appro
priated to the counties respectively, shall not be applied
for, and loaned within thirty days from the offering days
above specified, then the above requirement of the law in
relation to the residence of endorsers ceases, and after
that time a certificate of the residence of the maker only,
will be required.
All Notes must he made payable at the Central Bank
of Georgia, three hundred and sixty days after date, and
must have two or more good endorsers.
Certificates of the taxable property of the makers and
endorsers of the notes offered, will be regarded the best
evidence of their solvency.
No note will be discounted, having on it the name of any
person indebted to the State, either as principal or security,
which debt is due and unsettled; or who is the maker of,
or endorser on, any note or bill heretofore discounted by
the Bank, and which is past due and unattended to.
All discounts will be paid only in current funds.
No note will be received for discount after the hour
of OCPnine o’clock, a. m._Q of the days above specified.
By order of the Board.

WAREHOUSE and COMMISSION BUSINESS*.
T HE undersigned would respectfully announce to their
friends, and to the public generally, that they have form
ed a copartnership for the purpose of transacting the general
Warehouse and Commission Business, in the city of Macon,
under the name and style of HARDEMAN, JONES & CO.,
They have purchased the Warehouse lately occupied by
Messrs. Hamilton, Hayes Sc Co., the well known situation of
which, both as regards safety against fire and the convenience
of its close stores, needs no recommendation. They are now
ready for the reception of cotton, and for the receiving and
forwarding the goods of their country friends, that may be
shipped to their care. They will be prepared to extend the
usual advances on cotton stored with or shipped by them. And
from the fact that they are pledged not to deal in cotton on their
own account, they hope to reemve a liberal share of public pa
tronage The business connected with their establishment will
have the exclusive attention of Thomas Hardeman and John
Jones, who will spare no pains to serve and please its patrons.

REPORT FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE TREA
SURY ON THE FINANCES.
Treasury Department, )
September 5, 1837. J
In pursuance of tlie duty of this department to submit to
Congress, at each session, the state ef the finances, and in
conformity with the request of the President, that such
other fiscal matters should, on this occasion, be presented,
as appear to require early legislation, the undersigned has
the honor to offer the following report:
1. condition of the treasury.
It is not proposed to give all the particulars, relating to
the receipts and expenditures, which usually accompany an
annual statement. But an exposition of them, under
the customary general heads, so far as they have bee.i
ascertained, for the first half of the vear, is subjoin
ed.
Brief estimates for the other half are made, and such
explanations added, as seem necessary to show with clear
ness not only the condition of the Treasury at this
time, but its probable state fur the residue of the vear.
According to the Treasurer’s running account, tlie whole
amount of available money in the Treasury 011 the 1st of
January, 1337, applicable to public purposes, was $42,468,-
839 97. From that. sum, there were on that day reserved
$5,000,000 ; and the balance, being $37,468,859 97, was,
under the provisions of the act of June 23, 1336, to be
placed in deposite with the States. It is ascertained that
$27,063,430 80 of it have since been actually received by
them.
The amount of that portion of the first three instalments,
the payment of which has not yet been acknowledged,
though transfers were seasonably issued for it, is $1,165,-
573 18.- The remainder is $9,367,214 98, and is the sum
which was designed for the fourth instalment of deposites
with the States on the 1st of October next. The amount
reserved in the Treasury on the 1st of January has since
been increased, by returns subsequently received from banks,
to the sum of $6,670,137 52; and which, of course,
could not then be ascertained or taken into computa
tion.
RECEIPTS.
The receipts in the first half of the year, deposited in the
banks, and paid on drafts by collectors and receivers, so fai
ns ascertained, have been:
From customs, $7,234,451
From lands, 5,303,731
And from miscellaneous sources, 512,263
IV©. 36 VOL. XVIII.
proper .n the present state ef the Treasury, to grant any
indulgences beyond those already authorized, without the-
express direction of Congress.
Some fjrther facts which may be usefuLto aid its uiem-'
hers in coming to a correct conclusion on this subject, are/
that the amount ol bonds which have already been post
poned to the 1st of October, is about $3,500,000, and
by that date, will, it is presumed, be increased to $4,000.-
000. 9
If Congress permit 1:0 longer postponement, the re-'
ccipts for the year will probably be increased by the in*
dulgcncies already granted, a3 they have been allowed,
generally, on additional security, and always on interest.
Dot as suits and delays in collection will ;ti!l occur,
though to a less extent than in the first stages of tbc pres*-
sure, it is expected that not over two-thirds of the amount
postponed before the close of this month can be collected
during the current year.
The bonds already put in suit since the middle of May,-
■ amount tonearly $1,000,000. But if Congress extend the
postponement till next January, as was originally requested
by some of tlie parties, or for one year, as recently request-'
ed by the Chamber of Commerce of New-York. the re
ceipts for the present year will probably be thereby lessen
ed from 4 to 5,000,000.
Should Congress, however, adopt an intermediate coursej-
asan act not of mere benevolence, but of additional relief,
which appears reasonable under the extraordinary mercan
tile distresses of the times, and more safe to the Govern
ment, in respect to eventual collections, it might f auction
a delay not to exceed, altogether, six months beyond, the
original period of payment, in any narticular case. It is
computed that this wouid diminish the receipts during the
present year, about two and a half millions of dollars ; but
if granted on the usual terms, would increase the receipts-
next year, in a greater proportion, by the interest accruing,,
as well by the fuller collections which would probably be
made in a greater uumber of cases.
The opinion of the department on these various propo
sitions is, that, considering nierelv our present financial
necessities, no further postponement can be regarded in
expedient, though in some other respects, as fully detailed
in the recent letter from the CliamLer of Commerce, the
last delay mentioned might be found justifiable, and more
beneficial. But if a law be passed extending credit oa thn
bonds, it is supposed that, in any correct view of the sub
ject, its provisions need not be continued iu force beyond'
the period when the worst effects of the pressure will be
To these may be added about $600,000, which remained ' J! kcl - V to ha . vp ce f e , d ’ a,lcl * hen a11 ' a r «T

LOUISVILLE MEDICAL INSTITUTE.
T HE Trustees of this institution, properly estimating the
importance of the duty to be performed, in selecting
suitable gentlemen for the respective chairs in a Medical
School, occupying such a prominent position and so munifi
cently provided for by the liberality of the city, have spared
no pains necessary to enable them to obtain the requisite in
formation, and they have, at length, tlie satisfaction to believe
that the expectations of the public will be fully met, by the an
nouncement they are now prepared to make.
The lectures will commence on the last Monday of October
next, and continue until the last of February, on the several
branches of Medicine by the following gentlemen, viz :
Anatomy, by Jedediah Cobb, M. D. (late Professor of same
in the Medical College of Ohio.)
Surgery, by Joshua B. Flint, Ivl. D. (late of Boston.
Institutes of Medicine and Clinical Practice, by Charles
Caldwell. M. D. (late Professor of same in Transylvania Uni
versity.)
Theory and Practice, by John E. Cooke, M. D. (late Profes
sor of same in Transylvania University.)
Materia Medina, by Lunsford P. Yandell, M. D. (late Pro
fessor of Chemistry in Transylvania University.)
Obstetrics and Diseases of* Women and Children, by Henry
Miller, M. D.
Chemistry and Pharmacy, by John Locke, M. D. (lato Pro
fessor of same in Medical College of Ohio.)
In relation to one of these gentlemen, Dr. Locke, it should
be stated that lie is at this time in Europe, and the Trustees
appointed him, believing, from the^tssurances of his friends,
that he will accept. Should he decline, Chemistry will be
taught by Dr. Y’andell, the ensuing winter.
The Institute has been provided with a sufficiently exten
sive Library, Apparatus, and all the appliances necessary for
the illustration of the several topics of instruction; ample
lecture rooms have been fitted up for their accommodation,
with commodious smaller ones attached for Anatomical rooms,
Library, Museum, &c. Clinical instruction will be delivered
by the professors in the Hospital, which is now an extensive
and well ordered establishment.
As an idea has prevailed that boarding is extravagantly
high in this city, it is thought proper to state that it may be
had, including fuel and lights, at from @3 to @4 per week,
whichds about as low as it can be furnished in any American
city.
The price of the tickets is @T5 to each of the Prolessors,
and a fee of @5 for Matriculation and the U3e of the Library.
Graduation Fee, @20. Payment will be received iu notes of
solvent banks of the States in which pupils may reside.

tors, subject to draft. Ail these make the aggregate for
that half of the year $13,187,132. Jf no furtherpostjioBe-
ment be granted on duty bonds, it is estimated that the
whole receipts for the last half of the year, from all sources,
will be about $9,500,000; which would make them, as as
certained and estimated fur the whole year, $22,087,182.
But if the brief extension of the present postponement,
brought into view hereafter, and favorably regarded, be di
rected by Congress, the receipts will probably be a Unit
$7,000,000; while, by a postponement of the whole to
another year, thev will not be 1'ikelv to exceed $4,300<-
coo.
Looking at oar whole revenue, therefore, from nil quar
ters, it appears that the balance of money reserved at the
commencement of the year, ns finally ascertained to be
$6,670,137, with the actual receipts for the first half at
$13,187,182, and those now anticipated for the last half
of it at $7,000,000, will constitute an aggregate of $26,-

July 25,1837 ^ tf
GMORGSA, Thomas Uoatrty.
jTHE petition of Alsey Strickland, administrator on the 1
tate of Nicholas C. Lewis, deceased, sheweth, that
The expenditures required to meet existing appropria
tions, during the last half of the year, will, as computed,
equal the sum of $16,000,000; muking fur the whole vear
$32,733,834.
Whatever expenditures shall arise within the year, upon
new appropriations which Congress may think proper to
make, will require a corresponding addition to this amount.
But, without them, it will constitute an excess of $5,876,-
565 of expenditures over both tlie receipts, and the balance
at the commencement of the year; besides not leaving, at
the close of it, any thing in the Mint or the Treasury for fu
ture uses, or to meet contingencies.
In order, therefore, to discharge that excess, and retain,
of the money reserved on the 1st of January, one million,
which is the smallc-t sum deemed proper, under the acts of
Congress, for the efficient operations of the Mint, and at
least three or four millions more, to answer sudden aBd con
tingent calls, there will probably he a necessity to resort to
the deposites now with the States, and to the instalments
destined for them in October, or to some other resource, for
a sum equal to $10,000,000. By a report of the Treasu
rer of the 30th ultimo, it appears that the balance in the
Treasury, including what was in the custody of banks, the
Mint, and collecting officers, was then $14,596,311; that
the amount of this, subject to immediate drafts, was only
$8,920,972; but tlie whole balance in the Treasury, in
cluding all which had been deposited with the States, aud
ordered to be, though only a-small part- of the amount is
snbjcct to immediate-draft, was $41,532,'331. Dedtict all
which has been, and was designed to be, deposited with the
States, and there would be no balance left on hand subject
to drafts, though including every thing in ihe Mint and in
the possession of receivers and collectors, which is applica
ble to general purposes.
Hence it- is probable, that, besides the deficiency for the
expenditures- iff the year, no sufficient means of any kind
will exist on tlie first of October next r after defraying the
intervening expenses, to complete the instalment of depo-
sites then payable, unless a large part of the bonds for du
ties postponed tot'uat day, and amounting to near $4,009,-
000, and the million and a half then due on the first bond
from the United States Bank, shall be punctually paid, or,
in the meantime, some provision on this subject made by
Congress.
The money standing to the special credit of the Post Of
fice Department and the Patent Office, as well as various
trusts, is not included in the above exhibit, for reasons ex
plained in tlte last annual report. Outstanding and unex
pended appropriations at the end of the year will, in drts
view of our financial condition, be still left charged on the
Treasury, amounting to about $16,000,000■
This does not differ much from their amount at the close
of the last year. Whether the appropriations unexpended
on the first of January, 1838. prove, therefore, to be one
or two millions larger or smaller than is now anticipated,
it must be manifest, from all the above data, that some
new legislation is indispensable to complete satisfactorily
the service of the year, and leave a suitable amount in the
Mint and the Treasury.
Indec-d, before submitting the .last annual report, the in
dications of a decrease in the receipts, and of an approach
ing revulsion in our commercial prosperity, appeared so
strong to the undersigned, that he felt compelled, with re
luctance and regret, because differing sa much from the
views of many others, to estimate the accruing receipts for
the year at only $24,000,000.
As the appropriations asked for were about $27,000,-
000, it was then suggested that the occurrence of a defi
ciency was probable. When those appropriations becafhe
ousiy
i made payable ia cash, at the time the goods arc wanted for
immediate consumption.
The extension ot that system is, therefore, respectfully
recommended to the consideration of Congress, in connec
tion with the present subject, as it might introduce as
great an improvement in the collection of imposts, as the
substitution of cash for credit did in the collection of re
venue from the sales of public lands. It would certainly
increase the security, ease, and promptitude of the ope
ration ; would dispense entirely with the trouble and risk
in the payment of debentures ; work favorably to the ma*-
nufacturing interests: and at the same time facilitate our
trade in foreign articles, as well as exonerate the mer
chant from many embarrassments in regard to sureties and.
guarantees.
III. OBSTACLES IS THE WAY OF TRANSFERRING THE LAST
INSTALMENT OF DEPOSITES TO THE STATES'.
Early legislation has likewise become necessary, either
to withhold'or postpone, for a rea.-on.able period, the fourth’
instalment of deposites with the States, or to furnish snch
aid as may be necessary to complete them iu a satisfac
tory manner.
By the general suspension of specie payments, and the
consequent necessity, under the deposite act, to disconti
nue most of the public depositories, the transfers from the
banks in the west and south-west to the sea board, uhich
were necessary to place much of the money in a position
o be conveniently lodged with the States in October, have;
in several instances, been defeated. They bail, as in case
of the former instalments, been ordered seasonably, though,
ns a general rule, only where rendered proper, in conse
quence of great accumulation of public funds in an unfa
vorable situation, on account of the course of trade and
exchanges, to he paid directly to the respective Slates.
But, in the troubled condition of the money market, they,
had not been injuriously hastened as to the time of pay
ment, and, consequently, falling due in the course ox the
summer and early in autumn, near two-thirds of the wholo
amount of these funds still on hand, liave been detained!
in the west and south-west, where they bad so unusually
augmented from the large sales of public lands. Hence,
if the last deposite witli the States was, in this position of-
the money, to be attempted, the orders directing it must,-
ia m..ny cases, he made on places remote aud very incon
venient to some of the receiving States, on account of the
unfavorable balance of trade, or lie rate of exchange; and
must be met, if at all, in a currency unai eepiaDic and
greatly depreciated. Transfers o* portions of the July
instalment could not, from the same cause, be effected ia
the precise mode intended, r.or front the banks most de--
sirable, though much of it bad reached the appropriate-
points to render the operation easy before the suspension*
of specie payments. I11 all cases in which they, weee not.
offered to be paid in a currency satisfactory to the States;
their agents were requested to return the orders of trans
fer till Congress could make new and suitable provisions
on the subject.
But this request has not always been complied .vith.—*
About $ 1,165,575 of that instalment lias not yet been re
ceipted for by the States to tlie Treasury, nor the orders re
turned. On the contrary, the United States Bank, chai ter-
ed by the State of Pennsylvania, has lately beco&e the-
purchaser of several of these orders, though not given for
any debt, but merely directing a transfer front one y-AAic
depository to another. This institution has demanded of
the banks on which they are drawn, that payment should
he made to her in specie; and on their failing to do so,
has caused, the or.iers to be protested. Under there cir
cumstances, and as the deposites with the States were
to be made of what was in the Treasury, and consequent
ly in the banks, on the 1st ot January last, U is. for Con
gress to decide whether paynu ats shall be made of any
of those orders in a mode and curmn-y- different front
the rest of the third instalment <‘t deposites \*«i,
Stales. ...... . . • _,
Another ren-" 1 lor witliiioiuing or postponing tnc Oc
tober -tuposites, or for some legal provision to aid in com
pleting them, is, that a sum equal to the revenue proba-
blv .accruing, and a large portion of these deposites, had,
liefore they were payable, been expressly appropriated by
Congress to other objects. When looking to the rapid, de
crease in our rec-ipts, to the expected deficiency in the
coarse of the year, and tb- great amount of outstanding
appropriations wliicn at the close ol it V. 11: oe if-il lirq-aid,
much of that whole instalment seems iikeiy to be i.ta-deti
at an early day. By either of the first two measure*, :h»
money could, according to its original destination, be jp--
piicd to the necessary wants of the General Government,
as soon as it can be drawn from the banks in legal fund*.
In that wav so desirable an object wouid also be accom
plished, without the expense and delay of tlie money'be-'
ing first paid over to the States, and then subjected to vo
cally recall. On tim other hand, several of the Stales
might, in the present posture of tiieir affairs, experience
considerable inconvenience, either by not receiving it, or
by soon refunding.a large portion of its amount; and ma
ny of the banks which hold it might be able more satis
factorily to pay it to the States that) to the Trca>ury.—
But though the sub'cct is one of much delicacy and difS--

might increase the security of the Government for eventual
payment, but. in an emergency
unexpected, to furnish all the
could judiciously be extended 1
in anticipation of what would probably be its straitened
condition in a few months.
A postponement of the payment of the bonds, falling
due was, therefore, and in accordance with the views of the
Executive, authorized for periods of from thirty to ninety
days, on interesl and additional security, and in a manner
more liberal than usual, by permitting it before as well as
after suit, in all cases of embarrassment, great hardship,
or insolvency.
The particular terms and the reasons for such post
ponement, are mere fully set forth iu the documents annex
ed.
When the difficulties m discharging bonds in a legal cur
rency became increased by the suspension of specie pay
ments in some of the principal cities, and the President
decided to cull a special session of Congress, the postpone
ment was allowed to be extended till alter the commence
ment of the session,-in order that an opportunity might
be afforded to obtain further relief by new' legislation. Ur
gent requests weic made for ati indiscriminate delay of
payment on all bonds to the 1st of January next, and for
the. receipt in discharge of them, of notes issued by hanks
not paying specie.
- It vva-s not deemed proper to-comply with these requests.
But. as long a delay as oar fiscal situation justified, nod
every relief as to the currency which seemed legal, by the
receipt of debenture certificates and Treasury drafts, for
duties, were permitted in mitigation of the existing embar
rassments.
Having, in this, done all that a sound and liberal exer
cise of the discretion of the Department appeared either
to justify. Dr require, no iiitentionexists, nor'would it be
should
opinion as to wmen course appears most
eligible in the present condition of the finances. It is,
therefore with deference suggested, that when regarding
their condition and the importance ol meeting with effi
ciency and good faith all the obligations of the Govern
ment to the pirblic creditors, it would be most judicious to
apply the whole instalment, as fttsi as it is wanted and
can bo. collected, to the prompt discharge of these obli
gations ; and that the last deposite with the Siates, not be
ing a debt but a mere temporary disposal of a surplus,
should be postponed until Congress, in some different sl“.te
of the finances, when sue!) an available surplus may exist,-
huil see a manifest propriety and ability in completing
in the present posture ot affairs, its superior wisdom may
consider preferable,
nr. DIFFICULTY IN FAT I* a TITF. APFROTIU ATIONS, AND Oil
THE ISSUE OF TREASURY NOTES.
Some further obstacles exist in the wny of cfi’sehsrtifig
satisfactorily all the appropriations which have beta mads
by Congress.
The effects which may be produced upon the accru
ing revenue, by grant-eg or withholding further delays
on bonds for duties, have already 1 een explained.
In addition to these, there is a likelihood, in tbc present'
pressure, that the. payment of cash duties, to the extent of
one million of dollars more than usual, w ill be unavoidably
deferred to another year, as the importers under the exist- -
ing laws, are entitled to certain delays, by keeping in store
the woolen goods which pay snch duties.
This circumstance, in connection with the dificulty of
collecting the bonds, whether longer postponed or not, will
sensibly increase the embarrassments which have been -
specially pointed out, and otherwise, exist in paying writh
promptitude, nnd in a legal manner, the large appropri
ations chargeable upon the residue of the current year.
Hence, after a considerable deficiency in the available
means became highly probable, it was deemed expedient to
adopt any judicious nnd lawful measure to remedy" it,
w hich was within the power of the deportment. Accord!'
iuglv, though large quantities of public lands were still in
tnarket unsold, and though die receipts from this source
during the year, would be higher than anticipated, in conse
quence, among other things, of a construction put on tfier
pre-emption law. admitting « Inr^c Claret mWfetkffi ft.
