We entreat every reader to make himself familiar with the provisions of the Land Distribution Bill, which appears on the last page of this paper. We regard this measure as of greater permanent, enduring value than any other of the Session. If it had become a law in 1830—as it would have done but for Gen. Jackson's Veto—it would have saved the country in great degree from the Expansion of 1835-6, and the years of Contraction, Distress and Ruin which have followed. It would have saved the Credit of the States from Prostration, as it will now contribute greatly to restore that Credit. It would have given to our own State several Millions beside the portion she received, diminishing by so much the amount of her Debt. It would have curbed the unbounded extravagance of the Federal Government during the last five or six years of the now discarded dynasty—But enough of vain regrets: Enough that the Land Bill is now almost certain to become a law, and that its provisions have been matured and improved by time and consideration. As we have not seen this bill in any Loco-Foco paper except the Journal of Commerce, we ask our friends to place it in the hands of the People. It must be generally approved.
