Mr. G. then adver- tcd to the three bases of apportionment that had been propo-ter-l,'viz : territory, population, and rev- olutionary disbursments, and shewed the extreme diflicultics that were attendant on each. It would be impossible for human ingenuity to devise a plan that would not bear unequally-—and such a rule would naturally produce jealousies and dissen- tions. The're were already jealousies enough a- mong the members ‘ofthe union, without adding tothe causes that prodttce them. There were also difficulties respecting the location of the lands. The different states would become enti- tled to unequal quantities.“ Delaware would pet‘- haps have but one-tenth of the quantity belonging to Virginia; yet, surely. it would not (3010 "1"" ofl" Delaware with any convenient nook or corner that might suit the cons:-nicncc ofthe rest. Per- haps, the least objectionable course would be, to divide the lands into lots of a size not less than the qnatitity to which the smallest state wouldbc entitled, and then to equalize by (lt‘tlWll\g‘ lots. In this way it might happen, that one state would own one portion at the mouth of the Mississippi. and anotlier on Lake Mic|iigan.—-Land orlices must be opened not only for each state, but for each parcel ufland. This would be so expensive and burthensnme as naturally to throw it back up- on the General Land Office Commissioner, as an universal agent-‘-from whom the state would re- ceive the avails of :he lands as they should be col- lected, which would be equivalent to receiving it from tin. Treasury, or, in other words, collecting by aitax for the purpose 0flll8,hCll0t‘l funds Mr. G. questioned the authority of Congress to apply the public funds in this manner : for it would be as correct to apply other moneys in the Tt'easu ry to this purpose as this. It was obvious, that if so applied, the general government would have no fyrther control ofit, and it might be applied to any other purpose than that of education, if the states thought it proper so to apply it. Mr. G. al- so contended, that it would be a manifest viola- tion of the pledges that had been given, no less than three times, of these funds to the paytneiit of the public debt, and he could not see any way, admitting all other objections were removed. in which it could be done without a flagrant viola- tion of the public faith. P" Mr. Nelson, ofMar) land, was unwilling in this stage of the subjcct to debate the question ofits merits. At a proper time he thought he should be able to give a satisfactory answer to all the ob- jections which the gentleman from Mass. (Mr. Gorliam) had urged. The proposition he remar- ked,’ does not ask for a commitment of any prin- ciple or any fact. It only contemplates an inqui- ry, and he could not but hope that this House would not turn its back upon the memorials of states, admitted on all hands to be respectgble, so far as to prohibit an inquiry.

The Hon. Judge Bristol was the Judge assigntd for the circut. and acted alone in all civil cases and cases criminal, and not cap- ital. The case of Franc/z vs. Hawlcy, Stc. was an action of trespass for breaking the house and con- veying away the goods of the plaintiff. The plainailf proved that one of the d'cfendan,ts enter- ed the House by the chimney. and then broke o- pen the windows and doors. '1' he delendan'.sjus- tified under a writ of attachment, and contended that the descending intothe House by the chim- ncy was lawful for the service of civil process; and if not, being once in the house, though by an unlawful entrance, yet the taking the goods was not a trespass, for which damages might be re- rccuvcrerl. But it v» as decided that an entrance by the chimney to serve civil process, was un- l-.ttvf.tl, and that all Sc-Nice done in consequence of such unlawful entry, was void.

The Judges present were the Hon. Asa Chap- man and the Hcn.Wm.Bristol. Judge Chapman presided. The Counsel for the prosecution were :i'itn¢-on H. Minor, Esq. State Attorney, and Da- vid Daggett, Esq. ; and for the prisoner, Sarnucl B. Sherwood, Esq. and Roger M. Sherman, Esq. The trial was long, patient, and laborious. The Jury, after having had the case under considera- from Thursday evening to Monday afternoon, re- turned a verdict ofguilty ; and on Friday follow- ing, sentence of death was pronounced by the prcsirling Judge ; a copy of which being desired for publication, was delayed for the present, as a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, had been allowed by the Court. It may however, be with propriety remarked, that the Hon. Judge, in the intt'oduction’to his sentence, while he set forth the enormity of the crime, and the justice of the punishment whichthe law in- flicts. in a manner truly impressive and "pathetic. urged the prisoner to prepare for a much more awful tribunal beyond the grave, before which ht: must shortly appear ; and to lay hold ofthe only hopcsct before sinner-sin the gospel.

It was known that the state of ’l‘t-nnt.-ssee had rcceived far less than others-—-.tntl it would. therefore, be correct, in his opinion, to modify the resolution by inserting, alter the word 1' education,’ the words ‘ as will place the several states on an equal footing.’ This motion was lost, and after a few more remarks the House adjourned. ./'zm.15.—Mr. Nelson, ofMd. withdrew the res- olution undcr discussion yesterday in the house, and inlieu thereof offered the following: Resolved, 'l'h-at each of the U.
