Genttetnen of th?

By this Act, 30.(MO acres of land was apportioned to each State, for each Senator and Represen? tative, by the apportionment under the census of lsoo. \\ here uo public lands are situated in any State, then Hie quota of such States shall be paid in land scrip, which shall be sold, ami the proceeds ap? plied to4he uses and purposes prescribed Ul Ibo Act. All tho expenses connected with the se? curing and selling of the scrip are to bo paid by the State, fco that tho gross pro? ceeds of the salo shall be appropriated as aforesaid; tho proceeds to bo invested in stocks yielding not leas than five per cont. int.'rest; the interest alone to be used in maintaining ono college, "where tho lead? ing object shall be, without excluding Other scientific *?nd classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as aro related to ag? riculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the Legislatures of tho States may respectively prescribe, in order to pro? ne ito the liberal and practical education of tins industrial classes in the several pur? suits and professions in lifo." Other condi? tions are annexed, ono of which requires a college to be in complete operation within five years from tho passage of tho Act; otherwise, the grant to the State ceases; and another, "that no Stato shall bo enti? tled to tho benefits of this Act, unless it shall exp: .-ss its acceptance thereof, by its Legislature, within two years from the date of its approval by the"President." On the 14th April, 1804, the time was extended two years from that dat?, and on tho -day of July, lMOG, it was further extended, so that 110 impediment now exists to this State accepting tho provisions of thu Act. The quantity of land scrip to which this State is entitled will be ISO OOO acres, and will, perhaps, realize to the Stato more than $150,000. I recommend that the General Assembly, at its present session, accept th" provisions of this Act of Congress.
