Further'proeeedinga of the Hoofe of Repreftntativei on the Bift far opening Lend Office# .for the file of Land in thn North Wefte/o Territory, ^
\ [ Comimrd from eor lad.]
Mr. GALLATIN wm in favoir ofthe amendmeat. ,He con ccived chat the bappincfi and prul perlty et tbc coonify would he promoted b/ prcMociogtbf laadt,. the fileof wbi.hpMy w re con e.a plat* Mig, I rom being engroffilii ic few itndc, and^believfd the proviAoo 40# aod.’r|Duli lecafion, together with the pr^ fixed, woold have that« etfcCt 1 he ooly materia^ obiectiou to ic ia that it may dimi^ilb (hw revCDUC by reducing the prut that would oinerwjte oe pliia for the, tne land He ihaugnt ttii» a i'prci' out objedion, but not a folid one. He believed the regoiatlon woold prevent feioeHpucolatora Irom pur< chaCag, but he cboogot ic a beecfi .iai tbiagihit üfey Ihould be cn frnm^y ieief%ct. Lafida wni produceAfoihing were, he ftid, of no real vaine. The high price peded mutt be got from real recriera alone, Tlie conieqjroce will be that a left quantity of land will be fold, bet a fufficicot quantity to fa tiafy adual fettleri, will be dtfpofed of, Qotwithdaodiog thia claofc, aod government, will pocket the proot which fpeculatora otberwife would have had. And, in the following year, Iht land which would have been eogrofied by fpeculatora, but tor a provtfien of thia kind, w>fi be brought into market to meet the demand of frtOi feiUert, at perhaps an advaacad price.
it has been fatd, Mr. Gallatin eb-ferved, that thia regulation would holdout cob great eocooragemeot to emigration. Whether this law paffi ed or DOC, he fuid ,lbc lame number of men would go to this lead. It wtf not from a diñaact that cm|. grand were to be expeled, but from tradt «jiieat» thia claufe be Gid, would intiid n penalty on men who perchai'ed laode wuh fpeculativc views tUne. With refped to what had been Gid * about an evafiun of the ad, it would be cafy to (define what cenfiituted an aduat fectler.
’ It has bean laid that taxlog oon-refidenti would produce the elTed iutendcd by tiiit claufe. Mr. Gallatin thought dtlfereotly. In tbc (late of I'cnofylvaoia he ftid, that pradice had been adopted, that tax., et laid upuu thia dcfcription have never been fufficieot to induce fet* tiemeot. They have found their land increafe more in «alae by mraoa of fcttleroenra taking place, than any amount of taxes laid iipoa it* it has been faid chat large taxes might be iopofed i hut it will not *c^p#td. In the country where ^he lived the eceupiera had been called, upon to pay their quota of taXct which could not be got from hoo'-' reGdeati. Ho woold aik geotUmtn; whether they wiflwd the Und to be tngrofed or vot f ond if they do not, he would Be^glad if they could pro* dace 0 betccr.pUo fpr preventing it, Hun this I bctbrp th« rivoi’qtloBi «

Mr Dayton (theSprahor: faid if thefnle oh|eéi of tbc ameodnieiiohad keen tn prevent (he land heiog^ no* grofled. it woold have had t it fup> pofi : but be did not think it woold ha'toihnt tffed.

Befidea no governmm't cvrr dui. or ever would enforce foch a regalatioo. ft would be holding* our alto a prexoium to emrgratioo, which, he troftcd wat not the in-Yrntion of the lep'flarnre ; fur (aid be, peri<*na who purchtftd Uod at three dollar! and a half an acre, to obtuin fettlera, might be obliged al« mod to give it away.

Mr. S. Smith faid H did not ip. pear to him that the amendmtnra could have any goodefTed, No law which couQteoauced injuilice could be carried into execution, and tn takeaway land from a parckafer af« ter he had judly paid for it, could not be accounted ;aty thing left, at perhaps it might not be poffible to get men to fettle opoo the land at • limited time. For ioRanco, fuppofn a war to take place^wiih the Indiana, it woold b« impoffiblo to fulfil thn contraA. in fuch’Csle it would b# faid pctitiooi woold be heard for m* . Itcf. The regolacion, in bit opinion, might produce many cyilt. Tbc t Urgetra^ of Und. he faid, muR ho* purchaCed by monied men, and there ought to be 00 objedion thrown in their way.
