not be adopted. He was opposed to it for special as well as general reasons. It declared null and void, not only all grants or titles obtained since the period of cession, but likewise all grants or titles acquired subsequently to the Treaty of St. Ildefonso, or, in other words, during the time the territory belonged to France. He believed it was well understood that after France obtained the country a number of grants had been made. It was certain that the French Government was invested with

authority to make grants, and I think, said Mr. E., a legislative declaration that such grants are void, extremely improper. This is the particular reason for which I am opposed to the amendment. I have also a general reason against it. I consider a Legislative body undertaking to declare a grant null and void an assumption of power. If a grant, whether it be of land, or to any corporate body, be null and void, it is so without any Legislative provision. It may be said, however, that such a provision is innocent. I do not think so; because it involves an assumption of power, which is in its nature judicial, exclusively judicial. For these reasons I am opposed to the resolution.

Mr. RHEA, of Tennessee, said, in reply to the gentleman from Georgia, he would only read the first article of the Treaty of Cession. [Here Mr. R. read the first article. This, said he, is a sufficient answer to the first argument of the gentleman. As to the second part of his reason, it is only necessary to say, that in order to enable the courts of justice to decide properly, laws must be passed fixing the principles on which courts are to decide.

The Committee now rose, reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again.

Mr. NICHOLSON said it had been for some time in contemplation to establish a branch bank at New Orleans. The business had been before the President and Directors of the Bank of the United States, who were of opinion that they were not authorized to establish the branch. He therefore moved that the Committee of Ways and Means be instructed to prepare and report a bill authorizing the President and Directors of the Bank of the United States to establish offices of discount and deposit in any of the territories and dependencies of the United States.

The motion was immediately agreed to, and Mr. NICHOLSON reported a bill for that purpose.

The bill making provision for disposing of the public lands in the Indiana Territory, and for other purposes, was read the third time and passed.

show that in principle it was the same with that in the bill.

Mr. V. read the old article, which was found to correspond in principle with the article under consideration, the only variation arising from the old provision applying to the "Congress of the United States and the State Legislatures." Why gentlemen should now be inclined to leaving the Army loose to calumniate the Government, he could not say.

Mr. NICHOLSON said it was not his wish to fence round the President, Vice President, and Congress, with a second sedition law. If the officers of the Army conduct themselves improperly it is in the power of the Executive to punish them. They can be removed at the will of the President, or by a Court Martial. Besides, I do not understand the section. What is the meaning of "traitorous words," used against the President, Vice President, and Congress. I know of no traitorous words that can be so used. There are none such to be found in the Constitution. The question was then taken on Mr. NICHOLSON's motion, and carried.
