RESOLUTION.

Resolved by the General Assembly of At. kansas, That our delegate in Congress be requested to use best exertions, to ob-tain a modification of an act of Congress granting-to the Territory of Arkansas, se-venty-two sections Of land for a seminary of learhinsr. so as to leave the remaininor fir. ty.two sections under the entire control of the legislature, by them to be disposed of and applied to the building of seminaries of learning, as mey may deem best for the public good and place in like manner the remaining number of sections, (not sold by the late Governor Pope), of the twenty sections under the control of the legislature, so as to. vest that body with full power and author, ity over all lands donated by Congress for seminaries of learning; and that the Got.

ernor bo requested to furnish the Delegate a copy of the foregoing resolution. Approved i October 24, 1835. The Board of Canal Commissioners have determined to enlarge the Erie canal so as to give it seven feet depth of water and a general width of seventy feet of water, on the surface, and a slone of two feet to one in the banks. It is to have a double set of locks, one hundred and ten feet long and "sixteen feet wide iib the clear, As the work will only be prosecuted during the suspen-won of the navigation, it is supposed that it yill require ten or twelve years to complete it and will cost, according to the estimates the Commissioners, above $12,000,000. fiujfah.

An engagement took place near Antonio on me xm uiu oetween tne patriots, in number, under the orders 7 of Uol. James Bowie, and 400 regulars, commanded by Ugarteche, which terminated the defeat ef the latter with the loss of 40 men. We refer our readers to the Exoress from San Antonio, published in this day's paper, for the narticulars of the hnf il.

Dismembered from the Mexican Republic, and freed from the influence of the numberless antagonist principles by which the covernment of that dis tracted country is operated upon, the march 01 improvement and civilization, within its limits, would be accelerated an hundred fold.

Its soil is fertile beyond a parallel, and its climate the most genial and delightful in the world. Its internal resources, under the auspices of a free goverrment, will be rapidly developed, and will present so inviting an aspect to emigrants, that its public lands would soon become peopled wilh a prosperous and happy populatioi. So long as it continues in its present state of dependence upon a government, notoriously one of the most -fickle and unsettled on this continent it cannot hope to, thrive. These remarks, are, however, The public feeling in Texas is almost unanimous for independence, and the day, wejare certain, is not far distant, when the national banner of Texas will be unfurled amid the enthusiastic shouts of its approving citizens. There is one part of the despatch with respect to which we beg leave to undeceive the Committee of San Atigustin.

It states that "Mr. Mitchel, of Natchitoches, Louisiana, has this moment arrived in -this place, ana uuorms us mat there had arrived at that place (Natchitoches 601 well mounted men, armed and equipped, from the state of ennessce, on their march to This information is erroneous. Nn vbody of men has arrived here, and none such has ever been expected.

An Extract of a letter from a Member of the Convention to Colonel John Forbes, of this place, (Nacogdoches, Texas.) An 'express arrived ere last ninht mm Camp wilh the important news, that our army, under the command of Gen. Austin, gained a victory over the enemv. nn mil and a half from San Antonio, in which our loss was one man wounded only, the enemy lost 60 wounded, and 16 men left dead on the field of battle, and information from the town says 24 died of their wounds, making fO of the enemy killed in all, and one 6 pounder, and a number of small arms, ike. taken; our army remaining complete vie tors of the field.

28, 1335. I have tho honor to mronn you that the i enemv to tho number or three bundrrd irom the necessity of obedience to the sove reignty or the people, and therefore the whies of tho south assert the contiiifrent right of nullifying the laws and the wlugs of the north, even while they profess horror for the comparatively moderate claims of South Carolina, deny the right of in-struction, and assert the right of revolution." Democracy is opposed to both these par. ties. As tho antagonist of principle to nullification, it regards the right of liberty as and original not held by a compact, but existing before tho always, existing even if the constitution should perish. The whether a compact of the poeple of the States, establishes a government, or it does but designate the form, under which the natural rights and sovereignty of the people are to be exercised and maintained, and which tho people would tranquilly alter and amend, if it failed to answer the purpose.

Ou constitution does not contain the absurdity of giving power to make laws, and another power to resist As the antagonist principle to whigism in the north, democracy totally rejects, re. pudiates and denies tho right of revolution." The people are here tho sovereign. Are they displeased with their, public servants T. The ballot-box is the avenue to a remedy. Do they dislike the laws Their representatives obey instruction, and repeal the offensive statutes.

Do jtbey object to inequalities in tuv constitution 7 Thev cn. ter on the peaceful process of amelioration. VMS uut tney toierato no revolution, ihe people, the popular party, the democracy, by the instinct of self-preservation, oppose all revolution, i assert the right of rcvolu- tion is either to us wm-da without t-pnann or to assert for the wealthy minority, a right ui ovennrow our aeraocrauc institutions from their foundation. To assert that the government of the U. S.

which is Democratic, and is the exer. cise of the sovereignty of the people, may produce such intolerable onnrefsion as to justify and demand a-revolution, is to deny .1 to tne people tno capacity ot sell-government on Drincinlrs of inst if p. find ta nrcnrt 1 the contingent necessity of substituting some other sovereignty lor that or the neorle. Whatever other nartv may claim for itself to rx! the revolutionary party, the people, tno popular parVy, the democracy, is nc-cessarily, by the instinct of self-preservation, the constitutional party. It rebukes lurj ui uisconienieu spinis; sets a perpetual limit to revolutionarv times it exhibits itself in the tranquil -aspect of composed and permanent benignity; and seals up for ever the bloody foundations of civu war.

it checks the Mrs steps towards a revolution it frowns at even the supm. tion of a northern confederacy, and it has i r. grapnicai convention. The exercise of the rich'tof revolution" is reversed by the whigs for an extremity yet tneir oaiiy measures and arguments partake of the same character of resistance to tne sovereign in otner woi the sovereign in other words, of resistance u. i- pcwuic.

but for privilege. By denying the right of instruction, tne wrug claims the right to sub- sutute the private will for the public will to transform the agent into the master to make the representative independent of hi. me utiuai DUYcrciuuiv oi ilio people. The same character ii sfamoed in tL patronage and power of the Executive. A feeble Executive has ever, as at Venice.

been the delight of an aristocracy and the whigs are consistent with their principles, clothed, and transfer it to a body, over which the people have a less direct con. trol. And a-rain. in the present contest for the election of Tresidcnt, the whitr rartv. with eaual consistency, daces the whnlA i scanty sum of its hopes on ultimate success on its ability to resist the people in their ef- lort to maKc an election lor themselves.
