Under this erroneous impression respecting the powers of Congress, and of the new states, the Massachusetts Committee make the following remarks, viz; "Considering these school reservations, beyond townships actually sold, as altogether con- tingent, depending upon the will and judgment of Congress, and to be affected by varying views of policy, your Committee cannot but regard, with extreme Surprise,* the language of the Legisla- ture of Maryland, in which they speak of the whole 14,576,000 ac...res, being the aggregate of what these reservations urill be, throughout the whole of the unsurveyed territory of the United States, as land, which 'has already been given to the favoured States and Territories, 9 and thereupon to found a demand for an immediate allowance of a proportionate amount in behalf of the excluded states." We think no comment whatever necessary upon the foregoing paragraph of the Massachusetts Report, farther than to state, what *■ WU1\ 13 will* probably cause the reader ."extreme surprise," that the words, quoted as the language of Hie Legislature of Maryland, which the Massachusetts Committee "cannot but regard with extreme surprise," are no where to be found in the Maryland Report* The last mistake into which the Massachusetts Committee ^ % have fallen, iiflQfciting views to Maryland, which are not to be V"" found in the only official document published on the subject, is contained in the following words; "The legislature of Maryland proposes that they [the lands] should be distributed amongst these states in proportion to their respective superficial extent." They w£re led into this error, most probably, by a calculation which is made in the Maryland Report for the purpose of shewing the aggregate amount, to which the states, that have received no school grants, would be collectively entitled upoA the basis of territorial extent, to ascertain which it was necessary to make a statement of the territorial extent of each state.
