 THE TEN SECTIONS OF LAND.

 By reference to the proceedings of the General Assembly, in to-day's Advocate, 1t will be seen, that the bill disposing of the ten sections of land appropriated by Congress for the building of a State House rat the Seat of Government, has finally PASSED both branches of the Legislature, by majority of 13 votes. This bill, if we have been correctly informed, gives to Mr. Robert Crittenden the 10 sections of land in exchange for his house and twelve lots, and authorizes him to locate them in tracts of not less than quarter section but subject. however, to the sanee tiDaltd- tions and restrictions, costaihed ia the aet of Congress-, enfilled on act, restricting fhe to- cation of certein iGnd claSms an the Terri tory of .4rkaq4sGs.

 Two other propositions were made, which Buck Woodruff, in his remarks last week, on this subject, very carefully onit- fed 10 aeafion. We have reference to the propositions of Bali and Ashiey--the for mer, aoho IS not qco,fh C dotlar m hte aoorld, offered ten thousand dollars, payable at six ana twelve months, for the 10 sections of land. to be located aotffsout limfation-- the latter, his dwelling-house, (which, in comparison to Mir C's, sinks 10 the grade of an 'sout-house,' ,'') .MORTG.aGED to Vim. Russell--tite faHdto De located soltHout iimtation.

 If either of the latter propositions had been accepted by the Legislature, all would have been right. We would not have heard of onr honorable Delegate, (aoho, tohen Sfr. C's. proposition agas .fira talked of, expressed himset m as favor ] threat ening the Members who voted forathe bill, with their constituents. Oh, no. cousin Chester would then have owned the land located every gaAtable apapropenaeM he could find, and made himself and others rich, with the labor of the honest and in- luxurious citizen.

 Our own opinion IS, that the Territory is gainer $3000 by the exchange.--sIore hereafter.
