Third—This tract of land has been appro- priated by the United States to public use sinco Juna 7, 1830, aud that the appropriation is binding oo the Genernl Land Oftice.

C., April 3.—The Demo- crats struggled anotber day to parry assaults upon thelr Doorkeeper, and to save Wim from dismissal. They were placed in a very embare rassing position, for s the issue 1s now made up it was evident that they would have to choose hotween dismissing the Doorkeeper with censure, §f nothing worse, or confessing that the Democratic party Is Incapablo of adminis. trative reform. With each hour’s delay the verplexities of the Democracy {ncrease. The indications now arc that when the vote fs taken the majority either way will be very small. ‘Whatever is the Issue, the Investigation, testi- mony, and dcbate will be an excellent. cam- palgn document. Thera was a number of Demoacratic speeches to-day in favor of Mr. Polk, ‘The members from the Southand Bouth- west, with which section of the country he is niore particularly identified, were PARTICULATILY BARNEST IN HIS FAVOR, and regret the misfortunes, as they call them, of the old man. They protest that he is more sioncd agalnst than sinning, ond that his faults are faults of the bad system which is tradition- al. ‘The Democrats gencrally were compelled to admit many of the irregularities charged. Their plea was that of conicesion and svold- ance. Mesars, Frye, of Maine, and Cox. of Ohto, made the speeches of the day. Mr, Frye's speech, which commanded the unfvetsal atten- tion of the House, will serve to keep alive the memorfes of the Democratie administrative trouble, us it s to be used as A CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT, and many hundreds of it had been ordered for circulation long befors the speaicer haa closed.
