tare liold their deliberations in lor eaoIn, for twenty years to come. than that rum should be hurled upon the un- fortunate and wayworn emigrant, who has sought by his occupancy, by his in- dustry andfrugality, to secure spot of earth amongst us, whercupon 10 lay his head, that he could cali his own.

 The Immense quantity of unappro- priated public land, forbids the idea eff raising q large sum of money from the sale of Ten Sections, and carry the question 10 the door of every man ip Arkansas, and ask him 10 point out one quarter section of unappropriated land that will sell for more than gov Iernment priee-I know of none that will sell for that much. The United States acquired bY purchase from France and Spain, about two hundred and sixty millions of acres of land, the most of which has been surveyed Land Offices have been established esf5;iilb llissfle etl in the different States and Territories. and yet less than twentv-fve millions af acres have been sold, leaving in tbe hands of the government, ,insold and uRappropriated, more than nine tenths of the whole public domain. The amount paid into the public Treasury by the purchasers of land, is already equal to the sum paid for the whole, and although the proceeds of the pub lie lands have been pledged tothe ere- ditors of the nation, that pledge is about 10 be redeemed, and the public debt extinguished. Surely it never can be tho policy of the nation, d na- ton the most hourishing on the globe, to wiring from its citizens the profits of their industry and enterprise, by exact ing price beyond it's necessity for their land, the common gift of God 10 man.

Crittenden. re- stricted him from locating improve ments. No other proposition was made by which the party agreed to such re- strictions.
