hio of two sections of land along the entire line of a road to be constructed from Sandusky to Columbus. May 23, 1828, a grant of 400,000 acres of the relinquished lands in certain counties in Alabama was made in aid of the improvement of the Tennessee and other rivers in that State. In this grant was the first provision for indemnity in case the grant was not full by reason of prior sales or disposals by the government. Similar grants were made from time to time for like purposes. March 2, 1833, the State of Illinois was authorized to apply the lands granted by the act of March 2, 1827, for canal purposes to the construction of a railway instead. This was the first act looking to the construction of a railway through the assistance of land donations. The railroad system was then in its infancy. The State did not avail itself of the privilege, but subsequently built a canal. March 2, 1835, a grant was made to aid the construction of a railway in Florida. Sufficient was gi

opal clergyman who lived in the village told me that if I continued that colored girl in my school, it could not be sustained. I replied to her, That it might sink, then, for I should not turn her out! I very soon found that some of my school would leave not to return if the colored girl was retained. Under these circumstances I made up my mind that if it were possible I would teach colored girls exclusively. The first publication of the intended change was made in the Liberator of March 2, 1833, when the editor Lib. 3.35. announced, with a rush of pleasurable emotions, the insertion of the advertisement of Miss P. Crandall (a white lady), of Canterbury, Conn., for a High School for young colored Ladies and Misses. This is, he continued, a seasonable auxiliary to the contemplated Manual Labor School for Colored Youth. An interview with Miss C. has satisfied us that she richly deserves the patronage and confidence of the people of color; and we doubt not they will give her

s was just bringing his Diplomatic correspondence to a successful close, and the profits of the enterprise had attracted the attention of more than one Washington editor. It seemed a favourable time to attempt the execution of Force's scheme. He found a partner in Matthew St. Clair Clarke, clerk of the House of Representatives, who had money enough to launch the enterprise and political influence enough to get it authorized by Congress. Accordingly, after some negotiations Congress on 2 March, 1833, at the very time the compromise tariff bill and the Force Bill disposed of the South Carolina crisis, passed a brief law authorizing the secretary of state to contract with Force and Clarke for the publication of a documentary history of the American Revolution, provided it did not cost more proportionally than Sparks's work. Edward Livingston was then secretary of state. His contemporaries considered him an impractical man, and the contract he now made goes far to support their view

but the movement had its fruition after the end of the Napoleonic wars, when several national series were authorized at public expense. Among them the most conspicuous were the Rolls series in Great Britain, projected in 1823, the Monumenta Germanica in Germany, launched in 1823, and the Documents Inedits in France, begun in 1835. The desire to do something similar for the United States led Peter Force to attempt his American Archives, which was authorized by an act of Congress passed 2 March, 1833. It was published at a large profit to the compilers and smacked so much of jobbery that great dissatisfaction was created in Congress and among the executive officers. The result was that it was discontinued by Secretary of State Marcy in 1855 when only nine volumes had been published. Force's materials were badly arranged and his editorial notes were nearly nil, but his ideal was good. Had it been carried out with a fairer regard for economy it might have escaped the rock on which

Strange to say, South Carolina substantially succeeded in accomplishing her object by the passage of the Compromise Act of 2d March, 1833. U. S. Statutes at Large, p. 629. Under it, Congress provided for a gradual reduction of existing duties on all foreign articles competing in the home market with our domestic manufactures, until they should finally sink, on the 30th Junegranted until the passage of the Compromise Act had rendered such legislation unnecessary. In fact, this act and the Force Bill, as it was then called, conferring on him the necessary powers, were approved by General Jackson on the same day (2d March, 1833). Such was, at this crisis, the jealousy of executive power in Congress, that the only effective enactments of this bill were to expire, by their own limitation, at the end of the next session of Congress (June, 1834). Here it may be proper t

lected the revenue against the forcible resistance of the State, unless Congress had conferred additional powers upon him. For this purpose Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, on the 3d January, 1861, Con. Globe, p. 286, bills H. B., No. 910. the day after Mr. McIntire's nomination to the Senate, reported a bill from the Judiciary Committee, further to provide for the collection of duties on imports. This bill embraced substantially the same provisions, long since expired, contained in the Act of 2d March, 1833, commonly called the Force Bill, to enable General Jackson to collect the revenue outside of Charleston, either upon land or on board any vessel. Mr. Bingham's bill was permitted to slumber on the files of the House until the 2d March, the last day but one before Congress expired, H. Journal, p. 465 when he moved for a suspension of the rules, to enable the House to take it up and consider it, but his motion proved unsuccessful. Indeed, the motion was not made until so late an hour

vessels may arrive and discharge or take in their cargoes. It comprehends the city or town which is occupied by the mariners, merchants and others who are engaged in the business of importing and exporting goods, navigating the ships, and furnishing them with provisions. It includes also so much of the water adjacent to the city as is usually occupied by vessels discharging or receiving their cargoes, or lying at anchor and waiting for that purpose. The first section of the act of March 2, 1833, authorized the President in a certain contingency to direct that the custom-house for any collection district be established and kept in any secure place within some port or harbor of such district, either upon land or on board any vessel. But this provision was temporary, and expired at the end of the session of Congress next afterwards. It conferred upon the Executive a right to remove the site of the custom-house, not merely to any secure place within the legally established port of
