RUN away from the subscriber the 13th instant, a likely young negro man by the name of TOM, of rather a black complexion, about five feet ten inches high, a little knock-kneed, but thick and well made for strength. He was scalded when young and the scar is very plain yet on his back and side; he has a down look when spoken to; he had on when he went away a white linen short coat and leather breeches, with old shoes; he took with him a rifle gun, double triggered that runs about 100 balls to the pound, well finished, with R. Bohannon on the box; also an Otter skin shot pouch and powder horn, with a tin charger fastened to the strap; he is of a cowardly disposition and may be easily taken. I rather suppose he will make for the north west side of the Ohio, where he will endeavor to pass for a freeman or perhaps he may attempt to go thro' the wilderness to Virginia any person taking up said negro and delivering him to me, or securing him in any public jail, so that he may be brought to justice, shall receive a generous reward and all reasonable charges.

MR. BRADFORD: THE public have been amused, per- haps instructed, by the disserta- tions of CAMILLUS, concerning the na- ture and effect of Fines; and his at- tempt to show that they may be appli- ed to the quieting of the titles to land in Kentucky.
The motives and intention of the author shall not be questioned by me, and I am willing to attribute his labors to patriotic zeal and pure philanthro- py. I take up the pen with no other view than to give Camillus a few hints, and to refer him to a few authorities, which perhaps may convince him that he is mistaken in the fundamental principles of the doctrine he advanc- es, and that his flattering hopes with respect to quieting his titles to land, never can be realized.
It may be necessary to observe that the titles to land in Kentucky are in a situation altogether different from what they are in England. These dis- putes about the original appropriati- on of land are long since buried in ob- liviou; and all titles firmly establish- ed, either by occupancy or otherwise, in some individual, long previous to the existence of any records, or histo- ry of judicial proceedings respecting them that have come down to us. Those claims then that fines & common reco- veries were made use of most general- ly to bar, originated from some com- mon ancestor, from whom the parties deduced their rights; or were certain portions of the same estate of inheri- tance held in possession, remainder or reversion. But if this doctrine is ap- plied in Kentucky and has the force and effect that Camillus wishes, legal and equitable claims derived from re- cord agreeable to law, may be barred by a fine levied by a man who has frau- dulently entered, surveyed, and pro- cured a patent for land to which he has no pretensions, founded on the laws of our country; so that if a fine could be levied in this country with effect, it would more generally be ap- plied with a fraudulent intention to bar legal rights by the owner of a bad claim, than to quiet good titles. The injurious consequences of the measure are therefore apparent; the advan- tages at least problematical. The hol- der of a good right can be under no necessity of levying a fine; if he ap- prehends disputes let him perpetuate his testimony, which is at least as easy and cheap a mode of proceeding, and will as effectually secure his title.
But to prove that a fine cannot be levied in this country, to answer the purposes of Camillus, I will only refer him to the saving clause in the 4th of Henry 7, chap. 22, which is in the following words:
"Saving to every person, not par- ties nor privies to the said fine, their exception to avoid the said fine by rea- son that those who were parties had nothing in the lands comprized in said fine," and some adjudications upon it in the books. By these it will appear that no estate in possession, reversion or remainder, that is not divested and put to a right, can be barred by a fine; — and for this plain reason that a per- son not a party, or privy to the fine, who has all the estate or interest in him at the time of levying the fine that he acquired by his entry sur- vey and patent, and has not been di- vested of any portion of it, cannot be put to his action, entry or claim be- ing already in the eye of the law pos- sessed of all the estate and interest that his action, entry or claim could give him.* Hence it is laid down to be law that a fine may be avoided by the plea that neither of the parties had a- ny thing at the time of levying the fine in the estate they meant to bar by it.
If then Camillus should convey by fine any particular tract of land by virtue of a distinct and particular claim from that which I have in the land, it will be an easy matter for me to avoid his fine, by shewing that his claim and mine originated from dif- ferent entries and are distinct claims; that I never was divested by him of a- ny part of my interest derived from my entry, &c. it being still vested in me, and that therefore his fine as to me was void; altho' it might bar all parties, privies and strangers so far as they or either of them had any claim, right or interest in the estate that he derived from his patent. For you find that where strangers enter into lands & levy a fine that it is altogether void — should therefore Camillus en-
*See 9 Rep. 79, 5 Rep. 124, 9 Rep. 106, 4 Inst. 321.
ter into my land (no matter under what pretence or claim of his own) as to my estate or title he is a stran- ger, and will be so considered in the eye of the law, and any fine levied by him as to me will be void. It is ne- cessary that the person that levies a fine that will bar any claim, should possess a portion of my claim or inter- est, otherwise as to me he is a stran- ger, and his fine will not avail. It is a maxim in law, that a man cannot grant that which he hath not, nor more than he hath.
This I take to be the proper dis- tinction and the true reason why law- yers never supposed that a fine could be levied with the effect which Camil- lus supposes in Kentucky — and altho' he may claim the credit of discover- ing certain arcana in the law — plume himself on his sagacity and penetrati- on in making the discovery, and feel his vanity flattered with the idea of having extricated himself from the common trammels of attorneys, in as much as he has deviated from the bea- ten track; yet unfortunately for him so far as he has left the track, so far, I am afraid, he has involved himself in error, and in a scheme, which if practicable, would open a door for great fraud and injustice. I would not be understood to attribute any such design to the author. No, Mr. Bradford, from the apparent candor and professions of the author, which no doubt are sincere, the purity of his intention cannot be doubted. Yet evils will, and frequently do, flow from measures that are at the time of their adoption altogether unforeseen. Great advantages would result from Camil- lus's plan of quieting titles to lawyers. Law suits would multiply apace. It would ripen a plentiful harvest for them. Very little sagacity is necessa- ry to discover this effect of the mea- sure, and perhaps this view of the subject may have served to whet the penetration, and heighten the ideas of Camillus when writing his lucu- brations, — all disputes would thus come in play in a little time. — Many fines themselves would be set aside on the footing of fraud. Many would be levied with a fraudulent design to secure if possible a defective claim a- gainst a good one, and no doubt would be liable to be set aside on the ground of fraud in the same manner as the other fraudulent transactions.†
I shall not trouble you or the pub- lic again on the subject. If my ideas are right, then Camillus's plan is im- practicable, at least can never answer any purpose — at any rate the honest attempts of a citizen to devise a plan to quiet titles to land in this country, deserves the attention, and the author merits the thanks of his fellow ci- tizens, although his labour should fail and his scheme prove visionary.

NOTE.
† See 3 Rep. 80.
In the Senate of the United States, Fe- bruary 15, 1797.
On request, the vice President of the United States being excused from further attendance in Senate during the session, addressed them as follows:
Gentlemen of the Senate,
If in the general apprehension of an intention to retire in that most emi- nent citizen, to whom all eyes had been directed and all hearts attracted, as the centre of our union for so long a period; the public opinion had ex- hibited any clear indications of ano- ther, in whom our fellow citizens could have generally united; as soon as I read that excellent address which announced the necessity of deliberati- on in the choice of a President, I should have imitated the example of a character, with which I had co-ope- rated, though in less conspicuous and important stations, and maintained an uninterrupted friendship for two and twenty years; but as a number of characters appeared to stand in the general estimation so nearly on a le- vel, as to render it difficult to con- jecture on which the majority would fall: considering the relation in which I stood to the people of America, I thought it most respectful to them, and most conducive to the tranquillity of the public mind to resign myself with others, a silent spectator of the gene- ral deliberation and a passive subject of public discussion.
Deeply penetrated with gratitude to my countrymen in general for their long continued kindness to me, and for that steady and affecting confidence, with which those who have most inti-
mately known me, from early life, have on so many great occasions, eu- trusted me, the care of their dearer interests; since a majority of their electors, though a very small one, have declared in my favour, and since in a republican government, the ma- jority though ever so small must of ne- cessity decide, I have determined at every hazard of a high but just res- ponsibility, though with much anxiety and diffidence, once more to engage in their service. Their confidence which has been the chief consolation of my life, is too precious and sacred a deposit ever to be considered lightly As it has been founded only on the qualities of the heart, it never has been, it never can be, deceived, betrayed, or disunited by me.
It is with reluctance, and with all those emotions of gratitude and affec- tion, which a long experience of your goodness ought to inspire that I now retire from my seat in this house, and take my leave of the members of the Senate.
I ought not to declare, for the last time, your adjournment, before I have presented to every Senator pre- sent, and to every Senator of the Uni- ted States, my thanks, for the candor and favour invariably received from them all. It is a recollection, of which nothing can ever deprive me, and it will be a source of comfort to me, through the remainder of my life, that, as on the one hand in the government constituted like ours, I have for eight years held the second situation under the constitution of the United States in perfect & uninterrupted harmony with the first, without envy in one, or jealousy in the other, so on the other hand I have never had the smallest misunderstanding with any member of the Senate. In all the abstruse questions, difficult conjectures, dan- gerous emergencies, and animated de- bates upon the great interest of our country, which have to often so deep- ly impressed all our minds, and I have experienced a uniform politeness and respect from every quarter of the house. When questions of no less im- portance than difficulty, have produ- ced (a difference of sentiment & differ- ences of opinion will always be found in free assemblies of men, and proba- bly the greatest diversities upon the greatest questions) when the Senators have been equally divided, and my o- pinion has been demanded according to the constitution I have constantly found on that moiety of the Senators, from whose judgment I have been ob- liged to dissent a disposition to allow me the same freedom of deliberati- on and independence of judgment which they asserted for themselves.
Within these walls, for a course of years, I have been an admiring wit- ness of a succession of information, elo- quence, patriotism and independence which, as they would have done ho- nor to any senate in any age, afford a consolatory hope (if the legislatures of the states are equally careful in their future selections, which there is no reason to distrust) that no coun- cil more permanent than this as a branch of the legislature will be ne- cessary, to defend the rights, liberties and properties of the people, and to protect the constitution of the United States as well as the constitutions and rights of the individual states, against errors of judgment, irregularities of the passions, or other encroachments of human infirmity or more repre- hensible enterprise, in the executive on one hand or the more immediate re- presentatives of the people on the o- ther.
These considerations will all con- spire to animate me in my future course with a confident reliance, that as far as my conduct shall be uniform- ly measured by the constitution of the United States and faithfully directed to the public good, I shall be support- ed by the senate, as well as by the house of representatives and the pe- ople at large; and on no other conditi- ons ought any support at all to be ex- pected or desired.
With cordial wishes for your honor, health and happiness, and fervent prayers for a continuation of the vir- tues, liberties, prosperity and peace of our beloved country, I avail myself of your leave of absence for the re- mainder of the session.
The answer to the Address of the Vice-president of the United States on his retiring from the Senate was on Tuesday agreed to as follows.
SIR, The Senate of the United States would be unjust to their own feelings
and deficient in the performance of a duty their relation to the government of their country imposes, would they fail to express their regard for your person, and their respect for your cha- racter, in answer to the address you presented to them, on your leaving a station which you have so long and so honorably filled as their president.
The motive you have been pleased to disclose which induced you not to withdraw from the public service, at a time when your experience, talents and virtues were peculiarly desirable, are as honorable for yourself, as from our confidence in you, Sir, we trust the result will be beneficial to our be- loved country.
When you retired from your digni- fied seat in this house, and took your leave of the members of the senate, we felt all those emotions of gratitude and affection, which our knowledge and experience of your abilities and undeclining impartiality ought to in- spire; and we should with painful reluctance endure the separation, but for the consoling reflection, that the same qualities which have rendered you useful, as the president of this branch of the legislature, will enable you to be still more so, in the exalted station to which you have been cal- led.
From you, Sir, in whom your coun- try have for a long period placed a steady confidence which has never been betrayed or forfeited, & to whom they have on so many occasions entrusted the care of their dearest interests, which have never been abused — From you who holding the second si- tuation under the constitution of the United States, have lived in uninter- rupted harmony with him who has held the first.
From you we receive with much satisfaction, the declaration which you are pleased to make of the opinion you entertain of the characters of the present Senators and of that of those citizens who have been heretofore se- nators. This declaration, were other motives wanting, would afford them an incentive to a virtuous perseve- rance in that line of conduct which has been honored with your approbation.
In your future course, we entertain no doubt, that your official conduct, will be measured by the constitution, and directed to the public good, you have therefore a right to entertain a confident reliance, that you will be supported, as well by the people at large as by their constituted authori- ties.
We cordially reciprocate the wit- nesses which you express for our honor, health and happiness, we join with yours, our fervent prayers for the continuation of the virtues and liber- ties of our fellow citizens: for the public prosperity and peace; and for you we implore the best reward for virtuous deeds, the grateful approba- tion of your constituents, and the smiles of Heaven.

LEXINGTON:
Saturday, March 25, 1797.
An unhappy affair took place on Saturday evening last, in Lincoln county, near the court house—two neighbours, one by the name of Cutton, and other Hackney, had some difference about a small sum of money owing from one to the other: Hackney picked up a sharp pointed shoe knife and stabbed Cutton in the breast who died in a few seconds. Hackney was taken up and committed to jail, ironed and strictly guarded.
On Tuesday night last the Indians killed a man at Collins's, on the Wilderness road. There were but two men at Collins's, one a brother of Capt. Collins, the other, a man hired by Collins to clear land. Collins being at a house about a mile from home; on his return, when he had got within a few steps of the house heard the Indians (two in number) cock their guns, but supposed it to be the hired man, intending to frighten him; the Indians immediately fired, but he still supposing it to be the hired man, rushed up and threw the tail of his great coat into their faces; by this time he discovered them to be Indians, he sprang into the house and fastened the door. The Indians immediately fell to work with their tomahawks and soon cut down the door, on which Collins ran out between the two Indians, he received a stroke on one shoulder with a tomahawk which, however, did him no injury, but after a close chase of about two hundred yards, made his escape by taking to the woods, where he lay all night and returned next morning to the house from whence he came the over night, where he got four men, (two of whom were travellers) and returned home, where they found the hired man killed, and mangled in a most horrid manner, and their guns carried off.
Extract of a letter from a member of Congress, to a gentleman in this town, dated Philadelphia February 12th. 1797.
'I am sorry it is not in my power to hand you some pleasing news from this place. Our unfortunate dispute with the French Republic still continues, and unless our new executive pursues a different plan from the present, I fear we shall be at war with that nation;—which GOD FORBID!—They have began to seize our vessels, if bound to or from British Ports in the West-Indies, which in all probability will destroy that trade. West-India produce is rising and ours falling, which are serious matters,—and indeed our whole commerce seems palsied,—Merchants stopping payment, &c—These are the blighted effects of Jay's treaty.'
'Upwards of 50 of our unhappy countrymen arrived here last week from Algiers. All that survived the plague have been liberated, but we have no reason to calculate on a durable peace with that perfidious nation.'
'Great part of the present session has been a struggle for encrasing the salaries to officers of government, but as yet, we keep them in statu quo.'
'A plan for laying a direct tax on lands and slaves has been under consideration, but its passage is doubtful'
'At a meeting of the Trustees of this town, it was agreed, that an Election for a Trustee be held at the Court-house on Saturday the first day of April next, in the room of James Hughes who has resigned.'

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE MAID'S ENIGMA.
SOME merry girls, one night 'tis said, When the old folks were gone to bed: Assembled round the fire; They wished to laugh an hour away; Their chat was harmless as 'twas gay; What more can you desire?
Enigmas, riddles, tales, went round: The knotty point, or guess profound, By turns their minds possess'd; Where Sue defies them to unfold A riddle, which she had been told, No maid had ever guess'd.
"What's that which tickles us and men, And oft, when done, begins again?— "A drug, they say befriended it: "But soon, says Sue, the pleasure's past, "And tickling more and more, at last "A slight convulsion ends it."
Some bit their lip, some wink'd their eye All giggled—and they knew not why— The joke somehow had pleas'd: When Kate, less wicked than the rest, Thinking to hit upon the jest, Discovered it—and sneez'd.
ANECDOLE.
A gentleman having lent a guinea for two or three days to a person whose promise he had not much faith in, was very much surprized to find that he very punctually kept his word with him: the same gentleman being some time after desirous of borrowing a larger sum; no, said the other, you have deceived me once, and I am resolved you shall not do it a second time.
