THE DEMOCRAT “cotrwsc's. s.:]Vi:n n, dec.. 11.14a Such has boert tho absorbing interest of the Lad Bill, »nd tho measures connected with that vifojcct, that other concerns of great moment have been thrown entirely in the shade. Previ. one to the sitting of the legislature, tho question of reducing the number of representatives, occu pied a large share of public attention. But it has since been almost entirely merged in the more exciting topic of indian gold and indian lands. The marry Mib«tnntial arguments which had been urged against tlie evils of a numerous represent*- | lion, ari*d in favor of the necessity of reduction, seem tb have resolved themselves into “thin air, so light sind ineffective have been the impressions left on the minds of the reader. Not only the people at largo, but even the members of the le gislature, seem nearly to have forgotten thtit snch a quostion Iras occupied even a considerable eharo of public attention. It is true we believe, that*a lull contemplating tho call of a conven tion has been reported to.the house; but its pro gress has b< en nearly overlooked by the letter writers at Milledgeville; and what will bo its final fate is altogether uncertain A large majority ot ibe no wuovidonosd by tbo’lato voto oil the subjoci, are in favor of reduction. And for ourselves, we see ho more likely or eligible mode of effecting that object, than by a convention. The common school system, wo are happy to perceivo is very favorable entertained; and wero it n“t for the engrossing nature of the land ques tion, there aright be some hope of tis being de finitively acted on. Among other subjects of interest to the people of this section of country, now bofore tho legisla ture, is that introduced by Mr. Floyd of Camden, viz tho appointment of commissioners for open ing a road botsveen Columbus and St. Marys. Such a road woul-i enable tho citizens of Colum bus and the adjacent country, to hold a direct communication with tho Atlantic seaboard, by a much nearer route than any they now enjoy, and In seasons of continued drought, like that wo llavo just experienced, it would be of immense commercial advantage Since tho publication of Mr Madison’s unan swerable letter, but few writers have boon found in this state, bold enough advocate tho doctrine of Nullification. And even thoso few- have shel tered themselves behind the fancied popularity of Che ex-governor Troup, against the odium which the naked deformity of such doctrine must inovit ably bring down upon thoir heads. Such writers assert the constitutional right of a stato to withdraw from tho union, vpou the ground that the constitution may become an en gine of oppression; and its destruction therefore essential to the preservation of liberty. But they forgot that a right, the oxerciso of which must necessarily destroy the constitution, cannot bo dorived from it; but is otic poso.-sed by a people tnovr*"-— -■ rtgin or revolution. Tho assertors of this doctrino therefore, must assume tho broad ground that our government has become intolerable), that a revolution, a stato of evi* eia . anarchy and bloodshed, aro prefera Ido t -the assertors of tho doctrino must as n “e is, wo say, before their arguments can meet ho case in point B•» it will bo difficult, wo think, to convince .: e people of this country, that the government under which they have been so highly favorod,, tviii h has insured them individual prosperity and rational glory, is more to he dreaded than all the evil and horrors of civil war. Tho foreign news furnished this day assumes tathor an important character. It would soom that the throne of Louis t’hillippo had not boconio entirely stable, and that his govotrunent was sur founded with difficulty if not dangor Sorious commotions had broken out in Paris, and from all tbo accounts it would appear that the. popoloce had rather boon momentarily pacified, than awed or subdued. Got. Miller lias boon elected to the Senate op [mited States from South Carolina over • Smith the lato distinguished senator from * late.

But the fortunate drawers of Improved lots, I and in actual oce pation of the Indiana, are not to ' obtain possession, until tho title of occupancy is j extinguished.
