Jill*1* Mr. her mid lif cutd not give h<<? vote i Upon iht* question without assigning hi* rea- ! ?b0 9' He could noi vote f?r the inquiry o fcfeiPP^his honorable and di*tii;guish"d friend, ev? n J *fl amendcd*hy his friend from North Ca'oli- , na. The inquiry proposed to do sum thing which was obviou?'y repudiated by h s own . ' doctrines upon the suhjoot. Tne Sena'or e. f""l justified and wouM coo'inne to ify ^ the distribution of tlie oroc 'eds of the public > j, lands upon the ground mat the lands had been k ^ . ? withheld from Hie State?, to whom th y be- ; ;v Jonge.t, by the General Government.

Ha] of Alabama, even if factious, make the f m >n v mirs t Not hoin<r our property, tire gk" ' h?on y should lie in the Treasury forever, if fy. , iiec??s?irv,befoie we could touch it. Ik Mr. A.'also glanced v tv briefly at the j coarsh of dobafo, ami the reasons which had been given by Senators upon all sides * for the adoption and rejection of the resf> olutio i. He noticed the remark of the; ? r< Senator frtnn South Carolina that the ' 1 - * - iL. ? :: distribution act would tend 10 me sever V ahce of the tin ion and said that this a was a new doctrine in regard to this act. ^ Upon "former occasions it had been conto ?dod tint it was a dourer to the Stale-), b inging ihciri to the foot of the General ^ . (t'ivnrtiinent as recipient* of ail the mnney which they would receive under the law. , VIr. Calhoun rejoined very briefly. He did think that *he measure had ia ft the |v" peeds of disunion. He did not believe that it at all tended to consolidation; he had always differed with his friend* upon this point. He did regard tl as the maximum of all unconstitutional :tv.i?ures. Toe character of the measure had been fairly stated by the Senator froin Oiiio. The scheme was this : to give awav the < proceeds of a common fund, and this was to one section of tho country a bounty, ant! to another section a loss. Mr. Berrien desired to say ? single wi^rd. He could not withhold his assent to the reference of the resolution to a ^ ' committee J, but he held himself by such ftssciit uncommitted as to the principle oi the measure suggested by it. The roso lotion did not propose any specific appropriation of l/io fund, declined by the States. One or more of the beri. firiaries refused to receive (his fund, and it became necessa-y'to know what should be drijie with it. Ifthe Federal Government were the trustees of this fund, and could . not ^comply with the requisitions of the law in regard to it. it became necessary ' know what should he done with it ; and >/ with a view to this inquiry he should vote for the resolution. Mr. Areiier continue ! the argument * ^ *" -1 *- - r ai..; very brit'Uy upon trie uterus <m lin2. t??n, giving us ao additional reason why the lands belonging to one Slate should not be appropriated to the uses of otherj Static, that a State might change its op. iaion in ^Her tune, ami. acknowledging t'selffactious in its former refusal, ask to Ufr ".receive its portion. Mr. Wright said a few word*. I; ih'-rfr vyns an v money in the Treasury i' answered to any call made upon it. A sovereign State had rt fused to receiv. this money, and it went into the Treason * .= s subjected |o any demands upon tne Trea miry. If the State hereafter called for io!, rts rnonev.it would he entitled to draw j upon such in.ana as were in the Treasury j The technical part of this question wa- , therefore unimportant- The inquiry wa* unimportant, unless ft proposed to ohiai;. information as to the disposition of thhind which the two States r fu-e I to ri Tl.? rnocnnt fni nui arinnttntr tilt itnc. r??. ?, _ resolution had been sufficiently stated by j the Senator from Virgin ia^ and he wouh: j . not add any thing to them. j Mr Clav said he did not iptend to say a single word moret though the author o. the proposition which had been submitted ^ The proposition was, whether we should leave the money in the Treasury or ap pmpriate it. The argument was that the money belonged to Alabama, and wo could not touch it. - Tho money did not Ic belong to Alabfpia accepted it. Suppose the money was to be put out at interest for the benefit of Alabama. wouWthfcSen tor say that we could not do this? The resolution he had offered contemplated any disposition of I he money. The honorable Senator from New Y'-rL ' asked whether the refusal to receive the laud was any offence to the General Gov ernment ? Ho would ask, in return, j whether a State was not s ound to obey the laws of tho Government ? There was no criminality in the refusal, he ad i>' milted; but was there no offence in dis obeying the lawx of lite (ilenAral (JoverrTinont ? Did the Senator from Souih Carolina mean to ronntenanre nullification, and in this sneaking nod cowardly form orrefusing to carry out h law of Congress, instead of the hold and daring mode as- | sunied bv South Carolina when she put ; her hand upon her ?word to nullify the! laws of the land. . Afr.

Mr. M P. in the course of his remarks, said that c he desired to gee the Land Distribution act repealed. * o The debate closed here for the day; s Jam. 8tli.
