By.rt reference to our suntrriary of Con
gressional proceedings, it will be seen that
the Senate of the United States has voted
down the amendment of , Mr. Crittenden to
Mr. Bentoir's• pre-emption - bill direetipg-n
distribution .among the several States, of
the proceeds of the public lands. Every
member who opposed .that amendment is
a Van Buren man, and among them were
Messrs. Smith of Coithecticut, Wright 'of,
New York, Buchanan -of Pa., Allen and
Tappan of Ohio, and Lumpkin of Georgia;
who voted against the plain, distinct,
une
quivocal wishes, as
. well as - the vital in
terests of their . several States. .Poor New
