RAN-AWAY from the Subscriber, at New- town, Chester Ferry, Queen Anne's coun- ty, state of Maryland, the following negroes, viz. a woman named Nanny, went away on the 23rd January, 1799, and took with her a Mulat- to female child, about two years old, named Arianna. Nanny is a dark yellow negro, about five feet four or five inches high, remarkably handsome for an negro. Her clothing unknown as she took a variety of good cloaths with her - she went off with a negro fellow, named Peter, and calls himself Peter Simpson, he is the prop- erty of a certain William Bowers of Talbot county, state as above, who has advertised one hundred dollars reward for him. Peter is a stout well made yellow fellow, about 6 feet one inch high, is a tolerable good Carpenter. Nanny passes for his wife, but her real husband is named Bob, who belongs to her master. It is probable they are in the neighbourhood of Sa- lem in the Jerseys, as they were there in Octo- ber last, and by information, Peter had built himself an house to live in, between Rum Bridge and Gold Town; it is likely they may have changed their names and may have passed, as Peter can write a middling hand; it is prob- able Nanny has another child, as it was thought she was in a pregnant state when she went away. The noted Perry man Charles, who calls him- self Charles Rodney; he went off on the 18th of February last, he is a dark mulatto, about five feet eight or nine inches high, about forty years old, droops in his shoulders when he walks, a scar on his head very perceptible - he took with him a small bay mare about 4 or 5 years years old, her mane trimmed and bobbed; - his clothing unknown, as he carried off a va- riety of cloaths; it is probable he has changed his name, as he is a very artful, sensible fellow, he can read tolerably well; it is likely he may hire himself to drive a waggon, being well ac- quainted with that business, driving for the ar- my during the war; he also perhaps may have a wife.
The above reward will be given for the afore- said two negroes, viz. Nanny and Charles, if taken out of the state, or twenty dollars for Nanny and child, if taken in this state, & 2- do. Charles if taken in this state and secured in jail, so as I may get them again. If brought home all reasonable charges shall be paid by me. JOHN QUIMBY. March 3. w6t-4w.

RAN-AWAY from Spring Forge, in York County, a negro man, named ISAAC, other- wise CUDJO, about 21 years old, the property of Robert Coleman Esq.

A SEASONABLE ARTICLE.
JUST RECEIVED, AND FOR SALE By WILLIAM Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17 South Second Street, HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A SOVEREIGN REMEDY For Colds, obllnate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asth- mas, Sore-throats, and approaching Con- sumptions.
THOUSANDS are too well acquainted with the nature and effects of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the above com- plaints; dear bought experience has taught them that oily and heating medicines joined with strong opiates (or sleepy drugs) repeated doses of which, flatter and deceive the patient for the present, by procuring momentary ease; experience, I say, has taught thousands that the common opiates and balsams, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs in their most distressing symp- toms; that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system, increas- the difficulty of breathing, and excite fever. But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects. A SIN- GLE TRIAL WILL PROVE that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and bungs on the common, painful per- spiration; that it dislodges and eases the tough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, loosens the acrimonious humours which irritate the lungs, and finally discharges them. Thus stri- king at the root of the disorder, the symptoms are of course, effectually and permanently con- quered, the reverie of common medicines, which weaken the constitution and give strength to the disorder, for the sake of moderating for the present, some of its painful effects.
TO PARENTS
Who may have Children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH. This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable; the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.

Is recommended (particularly to the Ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chop- ped and sore lips, and every blemish and inor- dinate occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speed- ily restoring a beautiful rosy colour and deli- cate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER
FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS. This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, prevents the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and food- stuffs, which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them. Those who wish to procure the medicines genuine, must apply only as above. Wholesale purchasers will receive a liberal allowance by application to LEE & Co.

NO RISK!
To Merchants, Store Keepers and Tradef- men in general, &c. [You will oblige me by reading this advertisement throughout]
I RESPECTFULLY invite you either to the City Tavern, Hardy's Hotel, Francis' Hotel, the Indian Queen, Dunwoody's Tavern, the Frank- lin's Head, or to the George, to examine a Specimen of Rowlett's Tables of Discount or Interest, on every Dollar, from 1 to 2,000; on every ten, from 10 to 2,500; on every fifty from 250 to 3,000; and on every five hundred from 5,000 to 2,000; from one day to 64 days inclusive, at six per cent. comprising in the whole, upwards of one hundred and thirty two thousand one hundred and fifty calculations of discount; all performed according to the equitable principles of the Banks, and as practiced between individuals throughout the United States; being a perfect standard on the subject: with notes, showing how to use the tables at five, ten, and eight per cent. reckoning either 360 or 365 days to the year, and the mode of calculation on cents; to which is added, the principles of computation of the various ex- changes between each State respectively, and between these and London and Paris, at differ- ent rates of exchange. The work is dedicated, by permission, to the President and Directors of the Bank of North America, and has already received the patronage of JOHN ADAMS, President of the United States; of THOMAS JEFFERSON, Vice Presi- dent of the United States and President of the Senate; of a large number of the Senators and Members of the House of Representatives of the United States; and of the Presidents and Di- rectors of the different Banks unanimously: - a list of the whole is printed and attached to the specimen book. The preface to the specimen explains, among other matters, the methods to be pursued to render the work perfectly accurate - and gen- tlemen who will reflect on those methods will agree in the fact. Every one will acknowledge the arduousness of the undertaking. The expenses, independent of any compensa- tion for my trouble, will require a sum between three and four thousand dollars, which is two much to hazard - all must depend therefore upon a general Subscription; for unless fifteen hundred subscribers are obtained, it would cer- tainly be imprudent to execute the work. Subscribers can run no risk, as the book (which will be quarto, from 200 to 225 pages, or more - price two dollars) is not to be paid for until delivered rigorously conformable to my engagements expressed in the conditions affixed to the specimen, which consists of six detached pages of the work. A table of all the post towns in the United States, and some other useful information (not expressed in the title) will follow the computa- tions of exchanges between this country and England and France, and provided, gentlemen, that a sufficient number of you come forward and subscribe; a further addition shall be made of the costs and money of account of the principal maritime trading places in Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Prussia, Poland, Germany, Holland, Flanders, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and in several of the windward and leeward West India Islands, the whole reduced to dollars and cents; and the mode of computing the exchange with those places explained; also, a large sheet table of calculations at compound interest at 6 per cent. to which the notes for 5, 7 and 8 per cent. will apply - the tables used in banks for the determination of the value of gold, and the interest for each month from one to twelve months, which will make the work still more acceptable to persons living in the country as well as in town; and upon the whole, I am con- fident, that this book will be found as generally useful and convenient as any matter of fact-per- formance that ever entered a counting house or store. It is not sufficient that an individual (consi- dering himself but one) shall conclude, instead of subscribing, to purchase the book when pub- lished, as some of the members of the House of Representatives of the United States have done; for, however many ONE'S subscriptions may lose the race, and the book may never be pub- lished. I repeat, that nothing is to be paid in advance. And am, very respectfully, Gentlemen, Your humble servant, JOHN ROWLETT, Accomptant Bank North America. Postscript, - Gentlemen who have business at either of the Banks, or at the Philadelphia Li- brary, will have an opportunity of subscribing there, as well as at the Taverns, &c. before mentioned.

No. III. OF THE RUSH-LIGHT
Will be published next Wednesday morning.
It is a most tyrannical attempt, has been made to suppress the sale and put a stop to the circulation of this work, in Philadelphia; and, as it is apprehended that those, in the city, who "hate the light, because their deeds are evil," will succeed in intimidating the booksellers so far as to prevent them from selling; this is to give notice, that any Philadelphian, who still wishes to see the truth, shall be supplied with the RUSH-LIGHT regularly by post, and that I will pay the postage.
The money must be paid in advance; but this may be very easily managed. Five gentlemen, for instance, may join together, and send on a five dollar note, upon the receipt of which credit will be given to each of them for four Numbers which will be regularly sent on, the moment they are published.
This puts one in mind of the means formerly made use of to steal books in free states into despotics ones. What strange things come about in his world!

MR. FENNO, I wish to know the name of the patriotic member of Congress who wrote to General Collett, an agent of the French government, to the following effect, viz.
"I intend being, soon, in Philadelphia, and as I wish to have frequent communications with you, I request you will procure me lodgings as near as possible, if we cannot be together under the same roof. I shall immediately on my arrival, want two thousand dollars, and hope you will be able to accommodate me."
I wish likewise to know the name of the patriotic member of Congress, who, on first hearing of the defensive measures adopted by Congress in 1798, declared that he "hoped in God that France would bring the United States to their senses in six months;" and whether the said patriotic member of Congress was, at the time of making the said declaration, a Governor, as has been alleged, of one of the States in the Union.
If you, Sir, or any of your correspondents can give the above information, you will render an important service to the public, and oblige
AN ENQUIRER.
MORAL REFLECTION.
It is an honorable characteristic of our country to spurn at oppression and persecution. Every body detests the malignant villain who, too mean and too cowardly to cope with antagonists on a footing with him, converts the gloomy and empty fabric of his gaudy popularity, into a prison-house for the young, "the amiable," the innocent and the defenceless. Such baseness, to the distinguished credit of our country, is here overtaken in every instance, with a signal and just vengeance. The conduct is that of a thief who robs a child or a lady, but sneaks when challenged by men who might expose him to exertion, and cost him a scoundrel.
We are told, that an action has been commenced at the suit of Doctor BENJAMIN RUSH, against young Mr. Dickens of this city, for selling some pamphlets animadverting upon sundry of his opinions, &c.
Senator Pinckney whom, (taking the word of his friend, the successor of Bache) people begin pretty generally to call The Orator of the Human Race , has, it seems, waxed wroth, at being put on a level with the Hon. Mr. Cocke. It would be an untoward circumstance if, in his zeal to repel this farcical, he should have recourse to such expressions concerning the Hon. member's talents, as to lead to a breach. The sword of Calligula would effect an hideous hiatus in a Senatorian breast.
Mr. Jefferson, in his veracious declaration of Independence, tells us that ALL men are, by nature, EQUAL; and all good republicans do affect to receive this as fact. Yet how strenuously do the most eminent of republicans deny that Mr. Pinckney is equal to Mr. Cocke.
It is somewhere said, that "wit is a barlot," and the Democratic and True American Orators and writers of the present day, seem implicitly to believe the assertion. Certain it is, they do, in this regard, preserve a most inflexible elasticity.
Old Priestley, we learn, contemplates the establishment of an Academy, after the model of that of Lagado ; in this Academy, the modern doctrine of Airs will be exploded, and that of Phlogiston established. As a war with Great Britain will be one of the first steps of Mr. J's administration, young gentlemen will be particularly instructed in the best method of calcining Ice into Gunpowder. N. B. It is not precisely known whether this be the Academy alluded to by Governor M'Kean, in his message respecting "the benevolent Priestley."
"Let not the rustling of silks, nor the creaking of shoes betray thy poor heart to woman." This admonition of a wise man, was levelled at a danger probably more prevalent in the present day, than in those of old King Lear or good Queen Bess. The "rustling of silks," the "creaking of shoes," the display of bas de soie, des seins superbes, &c. all of which are dominant evils at present, do, it is feared, betray many a "poor heart."
When I heard an obscure Attorney, in pleading against a poor village newman, who had been prosecuted for a libel, assert that "the Five Thousand Dollars verdict against Porcupine had not met with a single objection; I could not forbear remarking to my friend, if it went in comine un arracheur de dents . My friend was an Attorney, and rejoined, "he says it cum privilegio ."
The author of the publication which appeared in Fenno's Gazette of last evening, and which Mr. Fenno says was handed to him by Mary Burgeis (corner of Second and Almoud street), is requested to leave his name with the printer.
JOHN RUSH. L. U. S. Philadelphia. March 26.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO, The following appeal to Congress for the fulfilment of a contract of the U. States, is, we are told, presented and under consideration. If the statements are true, it is a fact that these securities bear the endorsement of the United States, as copied in the memorial, it will, we should suppose, appear clearly impossible, to refuse payment, and preserve the faith of government.
In order that every one concerned may have a view of the subject, Mr. Fenno, you are requested to give it a place in your gazette.
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
To the Senate and the House of Representatives in Congress assembled.
The Memorial of the Subscribers
Respectfully presents,
THAT your memorialists have long and greatly suffered by the non-payment of the interest due to them from the United States, and endured in the following words, viz. "THE UNITED STATES ensure the payment of the within BILL, and will draw bills of exchange for the interest annually, if demanded; according to a resolution of Congress of the 18th of March, 1780." As no form of words, your memorialists, conceived, could express a more specific and absolute engagement, or more solemnly pledge the Faith of the United States, they placed entire confidence in it; and gave preference to those securities. But finding to their great disappointment, that provision was not made for this debt in the first law of the present government, for the payment of the public debts, your memorialists petitioned the next Congress; and lodged the obligations in the Treasury for payment, conformably to the act limiting claims; and repeated their petitions from year to year. In 1794, a committee of Congress, to whom this subject was referred, reported, "That the contract for the interest appears to be an absolute and original undertaking of the United States." In 1795, the Secretary of the Treasury to whom this subject had been referred, reported to Congress, "That the United States absolutely engaged to pay the interest on these bills in sterling bills of exchange annually, until the principal should be paid;" and that "This engagement has never been revoked."
And as sterling bills of exchange were generally better than money, this engagement was pre-eminent to all other notes or obligations for money. No scale for depreciated notes or bills, ever made by Congress, extended to these securities.
Eminent Statesmen assure your memorialists, that as the Constitution ordains that "All debts contracted, and engagements entered into by the former government, shall be equally binding upon the present,"—this engagement must be as obligatory as if it had been the act of the last or the present Congress. And your memorialists are assured by eminent judges of law, that it is not possible to pledge the faith of government in a more perfect manner.
It will be remembered that these securities were issued upon a complete funding system, in order that all important period to establish their credit upon a permanent basis; therefore the combined faith of the United and of the individual States was pledged for the payment of the interest and the principal equal to specie. Congress required the respective States (before they received any of the bills) "to establish by law permanent funds for their payment in gold and silver, the sums they might receive in these bills from the United States, by the 31st day of December 1786." This was done to ensure universal confidence in these securities, and to ensure repayment to the Union, such sums of interests, or principal, as Congress might provide for.
By the contract on the face of these obligations, the respective States were not bound to pay the interest until the principal became due, but the United States bound themselves by the contract in the endorsement, to "pay the interest annually." Wherefore the creditors had a prior demand upon the Union. And the Union alone has the means to obtain payment from the delinquent States.
The committee on claims, once suggested an opinion, that those States would make provision for those obligations, and that therefore it might be unnecessary for Congress to do it: but the fact is, some of your memorialists before and since that period, made application to those States, and were refused payment.
As the States are not amenable to law, upon the demand of citizens, however legal and sacred the contract, your memorialists have no means to obtain payment from them.
If the fundamental principle of a free government, "a government of LAWS, and not of men," was in active existence, your memorialists might long since have received payment from the States. The Union alone possesses the necessary constitutional powers to obtain payment from those States. To the Union, therefore, your memorialists must appeal for justice. It was in the engagement of the Union they confided. And as they fulfil all their obligations to the government, and pay all duties and taxes according to law, they ought not to entertain the painful idea that Congress may violate this solemn obligation, and refuse to fulfil the public engagement to them.
According to the letter of the law, made by Congress for this purpose, your memorialists now have a right "to receive their interest annually at the respective loan offices in sterling bills of exchange."—But when they apply for the same they are told that no provision is made to fulfil the law. Thus

law is made void, and the pledge of national faith in which they placed the highest confidence avails them nothing . At the same time interest is regularly paid upon inferior securities to other creditors, and even upon millions of assumed State debts; and to the very States that loaned these securities to the Union, and charged them as specie!
The long-continued injury, is imputed to some of your memorialists, by the reflection that these securities contain all their pay for many years services and sufferings in the army that defended the Independence of this country; and are the means for their support during the decline of life, rendered in firm by the hardships endured for the public good!
Your memorialists, with sentiments of high consideration and respect, most earnestly request that Congress would be pleased, without further delay, to cause payment to be made agreeably to the engagement of the United States.
If a doubt exists whether those obligations are legally and constitutionally binding, your memorialists pray, that the case may be referred to the Supreme Judicial Court of the United States, for a legal decision. And if this tribunal shall decide that these securities do not contain a pledge of the faith of the United States to pay them, they will silently suffer out the remainder of life. But as "the law is the citizen's right," and "where law ends, despotism begins," they would put far from them the idea that they may be deprived of the former, and suffer the latter, under this government.
Your memorialists as in duty bound, &c.
December 2, 1799.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, March 25.
Mr. S. Smith from the committee of commerce and manufactures, reported, that it would be inexpedient to authorise the Secretary of the Treasury to remit any forfeitures that may have, or shall occur under the act prohibiting the exportation of arms and ammunition, under the provisions authorising remittance in the revenue laws.
In this report the house concurred. Mr. Speaker laid before the house a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, including a report on the petitions of Obadiah Scott, G. and J. Gilbert, and David Jones, which were respectively referred to him by the house of representatives.
Ordered to be printed. A message from the Senate, by Mr. Otis, their Secretary, informing the house, that the Senate had passed the bill for the relief of Campbell Smith, with an amendment.
The house took up the amendment of the Senate, and concurred.
The bill to amend the act passed the present session relative to the second census, was read a third time, and passed; and the title declared to be "An act to alter the form of certain oaths and affirmations directed to be taken by the act entitled 'An act providing for the second census, or enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States.'"
Mr. Wain presented a petition of Jane Lynch, widow of John R. Lynch, surgeon in the service of the United States during the revolutionary war.
Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Claiborne presented a petition of Stephen B. Simonds, a Lieutenant of Cavalry in the service of the United States, praying compensation for two horses worn out in the service.
Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Speaker observed, that the house having yesterday refused leave to the committee who reported progress in the bill for the better establishment and regulation of the courts of the United States, to sit again, it was now in order to move that the bill be recommitted or engrossed for a third reading.
After some observations from Mr. Gallatin, Mr. Harper moved, that it be recommitted to the select committee who reported it.
Mr. Nicholas made a motion which superseded that of Mr. Harper's, viz. that the further consideration of the bill be postponed till the first Monday in December next.
Yeas 44—Nays 50.
Mr. Nicholas then moved that the bill be recommitted to a committee of the whole house, which was carried; and the house having resolved into a committee of the whole on said bill Mr. Rutledge in the chair.
Mr. Gallatin moved to strike out the 5th section, which gives any State, body politic or corporate, company or person, the right prosecuting the United States in the Supreme Court.
Messrs. Marshall and Harper opposed this motion, and Messrs. Gallatin, Jones and Nicholas, spoke in favour of it, after which the committee rose, and obtained leave to sit again.
Mr. D. Foster from the committee of claims made a report on the petition of Seth Nelson, attorney to a soldier of the fourth Massachusetts regiment during the last war, who had not obtained his final settlement certificates from the regimental agent, and now praying that provision might be made by law for the payment. The report contains a full statement of the case as heretofore submitted to the consideration of Congress, and suggests that the only important circumstance distinguishing this from the general class of claims of this nature is, that the books and paper of the regimental agent, are within the control of the government, and, to guard against frauds, might be placed in the hands of such persons as Congress should direct. But this circumstance the committee report, does
not create such a distinction as should form an exception to the general principle heretofore adopted by the house, and therefore that the petitioner should have leave to withdraw his petition.
On motion of M. F. this report was referred to a committee of the whole house, and made the order for Monday next. Adjourned.
The following resolutions were adopted, in the Senate, on Monday, v. z.
Resolved, That William Duane having appeared at the bar of the Senate, and requested to be heard by counsel on the charge against him for a breach of privileges of the Senate, he be allowed the assistance of counsel, while personally attending at the bar of the Senate, who may be heard in denial of any facts charged against said Duane, or in excuse an extenuation of his offence.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing resolution be sent to William Duane, and that at the same time he be ordered to attend at the bar of this house, at twelve o'clock on Wednesday next.
Attest, SAMUEL A. OTIS, Secretary.
In a literary article, published in the Gazette of Saturday, some notice was taken of a projected American edition of "The Pursuits of Literature," as every one concerned in the publication of so excellent a book, ought to be distinctly and honorably mentioned, it is proper to add to the above article that the present edition is the joint undertaking of Mr. Osmrood of this city, Mr. Nancarrow of Boston, and Mr. Dickinson; that it is printed folly for them; and that no other impression is attempted, in any part of the United States.

MAP OF NEW JERSEY.
THE commissioners appointed for the purpose of circulating subscription papers, to the proposed plan of procuring an accurate Map of New Jersey, immediately after their appointment transmitted printed copies of the plan to various persons in the several counties of this state, and in the cities of New York and Philadelphia; and since that time, through the medium of the public prints, have requested the gentlemen entrusted with those papers, to return the number of subscribers by them respectively procured, to James Salter, Esq. at Trenton, on or before the 6th day of February last. The number of subscriptions received, not amounting to two thousand, the commissioners did not conceive themselves authorised to fix a day for the meeting of the company; nevertheless being of opinion from reflectable information, that the actual subscriptions are nearly, if not fully, adequate to the complete organization of the company, if they could be ascertained by regular returns, and being convinced that a trifling degree of exertion, on the part of the persons holding the subscription lists, would enable them to carry the intention of the subscribers into effect, they have by the unanimous advice and consent of the subscribers, whom they have been able to consult, fixed on the 14th day of May next, being the 2d day of the sitting of the supreme court, for a meeting of the subscribers at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, at the State House in Trenton, for the purpose of electing five Trustees and a Treasurer, if the number of subscriptions should be sufficient, or in any event to determine on the measures necessary to secure the attainment of an object so useful to the state.
From the universal approbation exhibited by their fellow-citizens, at the commencement of this undertaking, it was to be expected that the subscribers returned would have effected its immediate execution, and the commissioners are persuaded if proper attention is paid to the procuring of subscriptions, to their final success at the time fixed for the meeting, and to the attendance of the subscribers, either in person or by proxy, that no further delay will take place in commencing the operations of the company, in time for their execution during the course of the ensuing summer.

Sec. 11. And be it further enacted, That the territorial auditor and the clerk of the peace of each county respectively, shall keep a book for the purpose of entering lands of non residents in manner and form hereinafter directed. All non residents shall enter their lands with the auditor, or with the clerk of the peace of the country in which the land lies, on or before the first day of July, 1799, who shall administer an oath to the person delivering such list, or by any other means procure satisfactory information for the purpose of ascertaining the quality of such land, placing it in its proper class, under the name of the county in which it lies; and every non resident shall enter his or her land, agreeably to the rules and regulation of this act, as in case of residents. All taxes on lands, listed by the commissioner, and returned to the clerk as aforesaid, shall be paid, with interest thereon, to the sheriff or collector, as the case may be.

Provided always, That it shall be the duty of the several clerks of the peace, upon receiving from the auditor, a list of the non residents' lands entered in his office, to make diligent search and enquiry of the non residents' lands lying in each of their respective counties; and after comparing the said auditor's list with the list of non residents' lands entered in his office, shall proceed to list all the residue of the lands belonging to non residents not before listed, noting the quantity and quality of the several tracts of land, so by him discovered and not before entered, and such as he cannot with certainty ascertain the quality of, he shall enter as second rate; and shall make out and transmit one copy to the territorial auditor, and a second copy of such list the clerk shall deliver to the sheriff or collector of the proper county, to govern him in collecting the taxes due thereon, as in other cases of non residents' lands. Sec. 13. And be it further enacted, That the sheriff or collector shall be authorised to sell so much of each tract of land charged with taxes, as will discharge the amount thereof, with costs: Provided goods and chattels cannot be found thereon to the amount. And the sheriff or collector in that case, shall advertise the time and place of sale one month, at the door of the courthouse, and also, at four other public places in his county; and if the person claiming the land does not pay the amount on or before the expiration of the time, the sheriff or collector shall proceed to sell; after such sale, the sheriff or collector shall deliver to the purchaser a certificate of the quantity of land sold, describing therein the tract that was charged with the tax, and the end or side from which the quantity sold was taken, which shall always be laid off as nearly in a square as the situation will admit of: And the surveyor of the county, on the receipt of such certificate, shall by himself or deputy proceed to survey the quantity sold as aforesaid, agreeably to the said certificate, and charge the purchaser with the expenses of the same. The surveyor or his deputy as the case may be, shall give notice to the former owner, if in the county, or his agent, if any he has therein, of the day on which the survey is to be made: And upon the plat and certificate of survey being presented to the sheriff or collector, it shall be his duty to convey the same to the purchaser by deed, in due form of law executed, which conveyance shall vest in the purchaser all the right, title and interest of the proprietor; and in consideration of law shall also vest the possession of the land in the purchaser: Provided always, that nothing herein contained shall extend, or be construed to extend, to bar the right or equity of redemption, which any infant, person non compos mentis, or in captivity, may have the land to sell, provided the taxes and charges thereon, with interest, and an equitable compensation for improvements thereon made, be rendered within one year after such disability be removed. Sec. 14. And be it further enacted, That when any tract of land, or part thereof, is not sold upon being exposed, and the tax on the same not paid, it shall be the duty of the sheriff or collector to advertise and expose the same to sale in like manner, as to time and place as aforesaid, at every court of quarter sessions, until the land be sold or the tax be paid thereon; and no sheriff or collector, or their deputies, shall directly or indirectly purchase any land that shall be exposed to sale for the payment of taxes. Sec. 16. And be it further enacted, That when any non resident fails to pay to the treasurer the tax and interest due on any tract of land, on or before the said month of August annually, the auditor shall, at the same time when he transmits to the several clerks of the counties the amount of lands entered in his office, certify to the several sheriffs or collectors, as the case may be, such failure of payment, stating particularly the amount of the taxes due thereon; and also at the same time advertise the same in one of the Gazettes of this territory, for four weeks successively; whereupon the sheriff or collector shall, forthwith after receiving such list, proceed to advertise on the court house door of his proper county, the said tracts of land on which the tax is due, stating the amount thereof, and that he shall proceed to make sale of the same to satisfy said taxes, unless the same shall be paid on or before the first Monday in November, or so much thereof as will pay the taxes and expenses attending the sale; and the said sheriff or collector shall advertise the same in four different public places within the county, and if the amount of taxes is not paid, on or before the time mentioned, the sheriff or collector shall proceed to sell each tract, or so much thereof as will amount to the taxes and interest, with legal costs: and when any tract, or part thereof be sold, the sheriff or collector shall proceed in the same manner to have the same conveyed to the purchaser as is directed in case of residents; and it shall not be lawful for the sheriff or collector, or their deputies, directly or indirectly, to purchase any land sold under this section.
