An ADDRESS on the subject of the Re- port of a committee on the state of Re- presentatives, by OLIVER WOLCOTT, late secretary of the treasury."
[CONTINUED.]
It will be perceived that it was merely the object of this report to establish such a form for controlling expenditures of a con- fidential nature, as would most effectually prevent abuses, and "shield the officers of government from odium or suspicion." I never doubted for one instant, that such expenditures were lawful , and that the principle should now be questioned, has excited a degree of astonishment in my mind at least equal to the "surprise" of the com- mittee.
Is it then seriously asserted, that in the war and navy departments—establishments which, from their nature, presuppose an actual or probable state of war—which are designed to protect our country against enemies, that the precise object of every expenditure must be published? Upon what principle are our generals and com- manders to be deprived of powers which are sanctioned by universal usage, and ex- pressly recognized as lawful, by all wri- ters on the law of nations? If one of our naval commanders, now in the Mediter- ranean, should expend a few hundred dol- lars for intelligence respecting the force of his enemy, or the measures meditated by him, ought the present administration to disallow the charge, or publish the source from which the intelligence was derived? Is it not equivalent to a publication, to leave in a public office of accounts, a docu- ment explaining all circumstances relating to a payment? Ought the truth to be con- cealed, by allowing fictitious accounts? Could a more effectual mode of prevent- ing abuses be devised than to establish it as a rule, that all confidential expenditures should be ascertained to the satisfaction of the chief magistrate of our country, that his express sanction should be obtained, and that the amount of all such expendi- tures shall be referred to a distinct account in the public records?
There exists no colorable excuse for ex- citing the public jealousy on this subject. —I am confident that the secret expenses of the war department, since the estab- lishment of the present government, do not exceed a few thousand, probably not more than five or six thousand dollars:— The first expenditure, which I can recol- lect, was made in 1790 or 1791, and from the nature of the object, as well as the u- sual mode of conducting such affairs, it is highly probable that it was known to all the then heads of departments—informa- tion that such expenditures were made, was given to congress in 1792, as is proved by the following extract from a printed report, in relation to an estimate for the contingent expenses of the war depart- ment.
"It is to be observed upon this arti- cle, as well as every other, in this esti- mate, that for every cent expended in pur- suance thereof, vouchers must be produced at the treasury, excepting perhaps the sums which may be expended for secret intelli- gence, where the names might be important to be concealed; but for the propriety of the small sums, which might be expended, the reputation of the commanding officer is pledged to the public."
An explanation is due for Mr. Ross, of Pennsylvania, who, in consequence of the certificate of president Adams, obtained a credit for five hundred dollars. It is within my knowledge that the expense was incurred in 1795, that the object was authorized by president Washington, and that it related to the supposed designs of a foreign nation.
The committee seem to suppose that the act of February 9th, 1793, first authorized secret expenditures, in relation to the de- partment of state. In my opinion, they have neither traced the subject to its source, nor comprehended the object of the regulation which they have cited; the act, which made the first provision for the expenses of foreign intercourse, was passed on the first of July, 1790; this act first gave authority to the operations of the de- partment of state, under Mr. Jefferson; it authorized the President to draw from the treasury, forty thousand dollars annually, for the support of such persons as he might commission to serve the United States in foreign parts, and for the expenses incident to the business in which they might be em- ployed; except in respect to the salaries of ministers and secretaries, which were lim- ited, the expenditure of the fund was abso- lutely committed to the discretion of the
President; this discretion could not, how- ever, be more unlimited, than that which was vested in respect to the fund for the contingent expenses of the department of war; the proviso of the law of July 1st, 1790, only directed that the President should account specifically for all such ex- penses, as in his judgment might be made public, and also for the amount of such expenses as he might think it advisa- ble not to specify: it is certain that this proviso, did not extend the discretionary power previously given, and is to be un- derstood merely as a direction respecting the mode of rendering accounts.
The act of February 9th, 1793, cited by the committee, expressly revives the act of July 1st, 1790, then about to ex- pire: this circumstance is not stated by the committee:—it is, however, impor- tant, because, the discretionary power of the president, was thereby continued in full force: while the second section which the committee have pleased to consider as a special authority to expend money for secret services, merely provides for the settlement of accounts, according to prin- ciples, presupposed to be well understood or defined.
The act of May 10th, 1800, the last cited by the committee, is if possible, more irrelevant to the subject than the former; it merely considers expenditures for secret services in the department of state, as a description of contingent expen- ces; they must truly be so viewed: they have been so considered by the department of war; no person ever imagined that such expenses were an ordinary charge of the government, requiring an established provision.
The result of this examination, there- fore, proves that certain sums have been appropriated for the contingent expenses of the departments of state, war and navy; that no specific objects have been defined in the laws, to which the funds should be applied; that the application, in re- spect to all the departments, has been equally discretionary, and therefore that all the expenditures have been equally law- ful or unlawful; that a few inconsidera- ble expenses have been incurred in the war department, the objects of which could not, with propriety, be communicated to the public; and that in the mode of adjusting the amount of these expenses, a rule has been pursued, which the legislature had previously established, in respect to the department of state.
The committee with that have believed, that a special authority has been given to the department of state, to expend money for secret services, and to infer from the defect of a similar authority in the other departments, that the expenditures have been illegal. As the facts relating to the subject were not fully and correctly stated, the inferences have been demonstra- ted to be unfounded: it, however, the erro- neous premises of the committee must be assumed, it is proper to note, to what conclusions a spirit of charity would lead. It might be observed, that it is the duty of these easy of a credit, to conduct negotia- tions in time of war, for the purpose of ob- taining peace; and in time of peace, by friendly and sincere representations to the agent of foreign nations, to preserve the peace; and that no duty has been assigned to this officer, which has not a pacific ten- dency or relation. If the refinements of polity must be substituted for the maxims which ordinarily go on men of business: if the possession of a secret necessarily im- plies the concealment of some immorality; and if the secret services are al- ways employed in parts of corruption (and I do not admit) still it might be urged, with a semblance of ar- gument, at least equal to that of the com- mittee, that the laws of war authorizes the employment of spies, and in many in- stances, the seduction of enemies; but that all artifice, bribery and corruption in the civil intercourse of nations, is declared to be unjustifiable: from hence it might be concluded, that while no doubt could exist of the right of a secretary of war or a se- cretary of the navy to employ money as an engine of hostility, a legislative dispen- sation was requisite to satisfy the philo- sophic scruples of a secretary of state.
The suggestion of the committee, that the practice of the former administration is not reconcilable with the principles of a representative government, is as incorrect as their other observations. If they had proved that the government had united all the citizens in one bond of affection and confidence; that it had purified all exotic and spurious elements; that it had so elevated the virtue and confirmed the
patriotism of the people, that the funds of foreign nations could here find no employ- ment; then indeed there would be cause for congratulation, that these principles had received a desired illustration; but to be silent on these topics, and to deny to our government the means of re-calling the force or combating the intrigues of foreign na- tions, is virtually to declare, that our own magistrates, chosen by ourselves, have no integrity, and that unlimited confidence may be placed in the justice and virtue of foreign nations.
(To be continued.)
From a Kentucky Paper. COMMUNICATION.
The following is a letter received from a friend who is a citizen of Vincennes, in the Indiana Territory. His corres- pondent has taken the liberty of publish- ing it for public information, with the request that the several editors into whose hands it may come, will give it a place in their papers, &c.
DEAR SIR,
"I have some time since promised to give you a description of this place, espe- cially the agricultural and commercial advantages attending it; as you are an intimate friend of mine, I shall fix candor as my guide in this letter.
"Vincennes is the capital of the Terri- tory; it is here the seat of government is fixed; it stands on the banks of Wabash, in lat. 38° N. The situation of the town is delightful. The bank on which it stands is high and dry; the water in town is excellent; it is found about 25 feet be- low the surface; we pass through several different stratas of sand before we find water; we then come to a strata of white gravel, through which the water flows; it there appears in abundance; it is cool, pellucid and salutary.
"Vincennes is environed by a delight- ful prairie of four miles in length, and will average one in breadth; a great part of it is cultivated by the inhabitants of the town, and the rest is a handsome meadow formed by nature; and producing abun- dance of excellent grass, which when cured in the proper season, is nearly equal to your hay made out of tame grass. Not- withstanding the land in this prairie has been under cultivation for near fifty years, it yet produces upon an average 60 bushels of corn and 18 of wheat to the acre, and that upon a moderate cultivation; but it highly cultivated it will produce eighty of the former and twenty five of the latter. The soil in this prairie is of a blackish hue, mixed with sand which renders it warm, loose and congenial to the most rapid and luxurious vegetation, or every kind which is common to the United States, from the district of Maine to Georgia. The Wa- bash, which rolls its gentle current past the town, and washes the verge of the prairie for its whole length, is well replenished with a variety of fine fish. This river is navigable almost all the year as high as this place; and a good part of the year it is passable almost to its source. The cur- rent is gentle; no rapids to obstruct its navigation. Commerce centres here; the merchants bring their goods from Canada down the Wabash, from Orleans up the Mississippi, and from the eastern states down the Ohio and up the Wabash. This water transportation makes it not only more convenient for merchants & families who wish to come here, but it is consider- ably cheaper than land carriage; there is White river which is passable for crafts of considerable burthen. It rolls through a fine fertile country; its banks are clothed with a heavy growth of wood of different kinds, generally walnu, ash, hackberry and sugar maple. The under growth is rich and luxuriant. This river empties into the Wabash about 30 miles below Vincennes. There are abundance of fine fish in it of various kinds.
"As to the quality of the lands here as far as I am acquainted, there can be none better, not even the fertile bottoms of the Nile, or the exuberance of India can surpass the productions of this place. The soil is rich, black and mixed with a brown sand, and from eight to fifteen in- ches deep. It is easily cultivated, because the sand prevents the violent rains from baking it. Corn, wheat, rye, oat, and all kinds of small grain is produced in as great quantities to the acre at this place, as any where on the continent. Cotton, hemp, tobacco, &c. grows here unsur- passed in point of perfection, in any of the Southern states; nay every vegetable which is necessary for the subsistence of man will grow here. The farmer will
find a good market for all kinds of pro- duce at Orleans, and an easy water con- veyance at all seasons.
"Merchant mills may be constructed on the Wabash, about 25 miles below town at a rifle, which will manufacture all the wheat into flour, which can be raised in the environs of the Wabash from that to its source.—The farmer will only have to embark his wheat, and on his way to market have it manufactured. Besides this, there are a number of fine streams which meander through the coun- try, very well calculated to turn water- works.
"The country in general is well wa- tered; good springs are found in almost every farm. The springs rise out of white sand, or gush from a free-stone rock —little lime-stone is to be found here. The natural growth of the soil is dis- played. Our forests are stocked with a va- riety of wood, oak, walnut, hickory, beech, cherry, sugar-maple, &c. The undergrowth is spice-wood, papaw, &c. The timber are some of the above timber which grow here immensely large; their magnitude together with their lofty appearance, seem to proclaim their proud superiority over the surrounding wood."
"The pasture in the woods is excel- lent, the pea vine, grass, &c, are so inter- woven that during the summer season it is with difficulty we pass through it, add to this, when the inclement winter refuses to let nature keep on her verdant robe and invigorating appearance, our low lands and bottoms are clothed with a kind of grass which keeps green all winter, and resembles a well advanced wheat field, and affords very good food for stock. The country is interspersed with prairies of dif- ferent sizes, which makes it have an ap- pearance of former cultivation: It looks as if intrepid man had applied the destruc- tive axe to the sturdy growth of Nature where these prairies are, and it appears from their present growth, that nature is never negligent in replenishing her fields with something useful to imperious man. In the prairies the farmer may whet his scythe, and with ease procure hay enough for any number of cattle. We are not here compelled to wait with frugal anxie- ty until we make meadow by art, but at once we can step out into the meadows pre- pared by Nature, and there find a copious growth of grass. These prairies will fur- nish an everlasting pasture for cattle, for the natural grass increase instead of dimi- nishing by the flocks grazing on them. Here then we enjoy an advantage which few countries enjoy—the farmer is at once furnished with extensive meadow and ne- ver failing pasture."

PETERSBURG, October 1.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Greenborough, to his friend in Augusta, Georgia, dated Sept. 16, 1802.
"By a letter received a few days ago from Col. Hawkins, it appears that it is the wish of the Creeks to give up the lands as far as the Oakmulga; they meet this month at the Hickory Ground, in the territory of the Upper Creeks, and as the Indians never were so willing to relinquish, I may hazard the assertion, that Oakmulga, will no doubt be obtained. They say that by selling this land, they will be enabled to get stock and working tools; so far has this good man (Col. Hawkins) succeeded in civilizing these savages—13 chiefs came to him the 26th August, with the information that they had shot the Indian who had killed Gentry, of Cumberland: Indeed, he finds very little difficulty in having shot or whipped those that transgress his orders, which are as punctiliously obeyed as an officer who commands a garrison. Presuming this will be pleasing intelligence, I hasten to communicate it."

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5.
Arrived, the brig Neptune, capt. Coleman, 49 days from Lisbon. Left there several American vessels, names not recollected. Sept. 10, spoke the brig Marian, from Norfolk out 13 days, bound to London. 11th, ship America, of New York from Hull, out 45 days, bound to New York. 13th, brig Ann Maria, of New York, from Lisbon, out 45 days bound to New York, short of provisions, supplied her with some.
Capt. Coleman passed a number of vessels in the river, bound up, among which are the ships Brutus and Felicity from Liverpool and the fchr. Sparrow, capt. Luckett, from Jamaica.
A letter from the Honorable Mr. Gore in London, by the Minerva arrived at Boston on the 26th ult. informs that Mr. King has resigned his situation as Ambassador at the Court of St. James's; that he was to set off in a few days for the continent, and is to be expected here in the spring. Mr. Murray of this city came passenger in the above ship from a three years tour through Europe.

A letter from Havre, dated Aug. 1, says—"We see by the Moniteur, of this morning, that the duty on pepper, coming by foreign ships, is augmented to 30 per cent. and is continued at 15 per cent. in French ships, from the French colonies."
Extract of a letter from London, dated Aug. 12.
"I have taken pains to ascertain what the price of flour and wheat will be, and I do not think you should ship superfine flour to cost more than 30s. sterling per barrel, delivered here.
"The season promises very fine lately, which will make the crop much better than was expected."
Extract of a letter from a Bookseller in Dublin, to his correspondent in New York dated July 18.
"Since the Union a copy right bill has passed, which prevents the Irish totally from printing any English printed book from the commencement of the year 1801; and there is also a heavy penalty on any person that will sell an English printed book without having a previous agreement in writing before two witnesses, with the English bookseller, which prevents them from putting London imprints to their books, and selling them as English copies."
We understand that the reason why the Aurora has become so vapid and spiritless is not that the editor is in bodily or mental fear that his letter to Callender would be published in case he should become saucy, but that he is engaged in constructing a corollary, which is to prove that the secretary of the treasury has made a vast saving to the United States by selling the bank stock for a hundred and fifty or two hundred thousand dollars less than it would have brought in the market. We have
heard some additional facts relative to this business which have not placed the subject in a more favorable light than that in which it before appeared. Unless the sovereign people are soon favored with some official account of this affair, they shall hear further from us.
(Gaz. U. S.)
IT has been whispered that an act is in contemplation by the democratic moiety of our present members of Congress, which shall be an effectual substitute for what was lately termed the sedition act. The demos mean, however, to vary it in some respects. By the old one, the truth might be offered in defence or extenuation. This if it be the case with the contemplated one, will have no effect. They are sensible that it will pass no pen, nor close any mouth. The truth, therefore, if a new act is passed, will not operate any abatement. The people, however, who were told what a terrible thing the old gag act was, are to be amused with a dashing title to it. Thus the late act to authorize the borrowing of a large sum of money for certain purposes was entitled "an act to pay off the whole national debt." The present one we presume will be something like the following, "An act for speedily restoring harmony to social intercourse;" putting a termination to that charming theory of "how far error of opinion may be carried, provided reason be left free to combat it."
(Far. Mus.)
FROM THE WASP.
FARMER LINCOLN IN FURIOUS FRET.
THE FARMER SPEAKETH: UPON my word, I do declare, The deuce is in our nation; In vain I rant, and curse, and swear, And bawl for moderation.
CHORUS. For moderation all do know I am a spanking fellow: To moderation I will hold, As long as I can bellow.
When to affright the fed'ral crew I threat extermination, And With loud bawlings try to shew My zeal for moderation,
The stubborn rascals little heed My noisy declamation; But laugh, and say Lincoln's indeed Red-hot for moderation.
Whene'er I flammer out a lie, Somewhat like boys at school, firs, They straight set up a hoot and cry Fierce Levi's turn'd a fool, fir,
And when my master to obey, 'Bout priests I make a racket, The dirty scoundrels dare to say, He needs the bedlam jacket.
And then, to crown this vile abuse, Some saucy wags have said, fir, That President's bull-dog let loose, Is running raving mad, fir.
Sha'nt I, who hold the people dear, Who hate prevarication, Who get some hundred pounds a year, Roar out for moderation.
In honor's temple I've a seat, But scarce have touch'd a dollar; And will fed's try me thence to beat— By Jove it stirs my choler.
These fed's are worse than Nick of hell, I'm bold enough to say, fir; He'd let me fill my pocket's well, They'd drive me poor away, fir.
My salary to me is dear, I love it to a penny; Foy pay I'll rant, and bawl, and swear, And he who won't's a ninny.
To Washington I straight will go, And then I do assure ye, When I come back I'll lay fed's low, And make them feel my fury.
And now beware, each Fed'ral lad, Nor vent on me your spite, fir, If Farmer Lincoln has grown mad, Take care he doth not bite fir.
CHORUS. For moderation all do know I am a spanking fellow; To moderation I will hold, As long as I can bellow.
"A certain man, by the name of CALLender, not much known at the northward, appears to have been a writer in favor of Republicanism, and to have tarnished his writings with some such abuse of the former administrations as fill almost every federal paper against the present administration." [ A. demo paper. ] A certain man by the name of Th: JEFFERSON, of late very well known at the northward, paid one hundred dollars to this man, by "the name of CALLender," for writing and publishing these very "abuses of the former administration."

The editor of the Aurora, speaking of his forbearance towards certain characters says, "Lions prey not on dead carcasses." Least DUANE should really mistake himself for a lion, we will relate to him a short story:—
An angry father was correcting a refractory boy, who impudently exclaimed, "Why, father, you look as bold as the lion I saw in neighbor Stubble's pasture." "Lion!" replied the old man, indignantly, "Why, you boob, the beast you saw was a Jack Ass."

To all whom it may concern. A VERY extraordinary Notice appearing in the Alexandria Advertiser of yesterday, under the signature of Lucy Wilson, "forewarning all Persons from purchasing from me or any other Person whomsoever, a NEGRO MAN SLAVE, by the name of POOL," I deem it proper to state certain Facts relating thereto, which cannot be controverted either by her or her Agent. Negro POOL aluded to, was left to my Mother by her Sister, Mrs. Ann J. Gordon, along with the residue of her Estate, no especially mentioned in her Will, and the only Negro therein left to Lucy Wilson, is one then now possessed, of the name of Luce. Pool has been in my Mothers quiet Possession for about twelve Years past, and is now my Property by Deed of Gift from her, dated July last. I shall now only further add, by introducing part of a Letter in my possession, from one of the Executors, whose veracity will not be called in question, of which the following is an Extract: "I recollect that in several conversations with Mrs. Gordon, while she was ill at my House, she complained of —'s cruel treatment of Pool, and said she had determined to keep the Boy, that she should not be again in —'s power; that she had never given John Gordon a Deed for him, but she would make Lucy Gordon amends for her taking the Boy back again, by giving her Lucy, Hannah's Daughter, and these sentiments she expressed at the time I wrote her Will. Pool was in Mrs. Gordon's possession at the time of her death, and was afterwards invented and hired out as part of her Property. I related these circumstances to Mr. Campbell Wilson and Mrs. Wilson"

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING an AMERICAN EDITION OF  BLACKSTONE'S COMMENTARIES WITH NOTES of Reference to the CONSTITUTION and LAWS of the  FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE  UNITED STATES, AND OF THE  COMMONWEALTH of VIRGINIA:  With an appendix to each volume, containing tracts upon such subjects as appeared necessary to form a systematic view of the laws of Virginia as a member of the federal union. BY ST. GEORGE TUCKER,  Professor of law in the College of William and Mary, and one of the Judges of the General Court, in Virginia.
THE PROPOSED EDITION WILL CONTAIN
 I. An Introduction, or Preface.  II. NOTES on such parts of the Commentaries as treat on subjects which relate to correlative powers, delegated by the constitution and laws of the federal government, or of the state of Virginia; shewing in what instances the principles of the British constitution, the maxims of that government, the general customs, or common law of England, acts of the British parliament, and particular customs, or prescriptions, have been adopted or confirmed; altered or amended; or wholly changed and repealed, by local circumstances, political considerations, or the express provisions contained in our constitution and statute law.  III. To each volume of the Commentaries, there will be an appendix; into which will be introduced notes of a more considerable length, which cannot conveniently be inserted in the body of the work, and short tracts upon some subjects arising out of our own constitution and laws.  IV. THE appendix to the first volume will contain, 1. A discourse on government; 2. An inquiry into the obligation and authority of the common law and statutes of England, in the United States respectively; and whether the same be the law of the federal government of the United States or not. 3. A view of the written law of the commonwealth of Virginia as partaking of the constitution and laws of the federal government, and treaties made thereby; as well as of its own particular constitution, and acts of its legislature; together with such acts of the parliament of Great Britain, as may be still supposed to have any force or obligation therein. 4. A view of the constitution of the United States; its relation and connection with the state constitutions; a brief examination of their respective powers; a short parallel between it and that of Great Britain; an examination of some of its defects; and a view of the amendments thereto proposed by the several state conventions; and of such as may still be proper to be taken into further consideration. 5. A short view of the constitution of Virginia; an examination of some of Mr. Jefferson's positions respecting it; some hints with regard to an amendment of it, &c. 6. Observations on the right of conscience and the freedom of the press, in the United States of America. 7. A view of the origin, progress, and present state of slavery in Virginia, with a plan for its gradual abolition. 8. View of the laws respecting glebes and churches in Virginia.  V. THE appendix to the second volume will contain a short abstract of the land laws in Virginia, with a reference to such as are not to be found in any general code. 2. A discourse on the law of descents in Virginia. 3. An engraved copperplate table of descents according thereto. 4. A table shewing the manner in which estates in parcenary shall be divided pursuant thereto. 5. A view of the laws respecting escheats and forfeitures, passed during the revolutionary war, and of the rights of foreigners to hold lands in Virginia. 6. A view of the laws respecting slaves as property. 7. A discourse on the subject of the laws restraining usury.  VI. THE appendix to the third volume will contain a short view of the courts of the United States, and of the commonwealth of Virginia, with an abstract of the laws by which the practice therein is regulated: strictures on the trial by jury 
in Virginia under the existing laws, and a plan for their amendment.
VII. THE appendix to the fourth volume will contain an abstract of the criminal jurisdiction of the federal government, and of the commonwealth of Virginia: and a short discourse on treason.
VIII. THE tracts mentioned in the fourth section—together with the Editor's preface and the Commentator's introduction, being all attached to the first volume of Blackstone; will in this edition, be divided into two parts—the preface and introductions; and the five tracts first mentioned in the fourth section, will be attached to the first part, and the other three tracts mentioned in the same section, will make the appendix to the second part.
THE notes dispersed thro'out the work will amount to 14 or fifteen hundred. Those which refer to the constitution and laws of the United States are very numerous.
CONDITIONS.
 I. That the work be printed with a new type on superfine paper, and in five very large octavo volumes; and be bound in neat law binding.  II. That it shall go to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers shall be obtained to make it prudent—and from the time of going to press be published in one year.  III. That the price of the whole, complete and bound, shall be twenty dollars, payable on delivery. 
ADDRESS BY THE PUBLISHERS.
IT is presumed, a little consideration will make it obvious, that a work so extensive, and which will employ a large capital, cannot be put to press until a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained to make it prudent:—The Publishers do not recollect that any book of the same amount, has been printed in the United States, without either a part of the purchase money being required in advance, or returns made as it proceeded, by delivering the volumes as they were printed—In the present case, the whole work will be finished and completely bound before any payment is made.
It is earnestly requested, that the gentlemen who intend subscribing, will forward their names, as soon as possible, either by letter (post paid) to the Publishers in Philadelphia, or through the medium of book sellers in the neighboring towns. The post masters will also be furnished with a subscription paper, and it is presumed they will forward any names that may offer; as a remuneration, and to induce gentlemen to give it a little attention, whoever procures nine subscribers shall be entitled to a tenth copy, but it is to be explicitly understood, that the person who receives a copy for procuring subscribers, must be answerable for the payment of all the gentlemen who sign his list. The Publishers demand nothing but on delivery of the books, complete; therefore, determined not to leave a single set, without at that time, receiving payment for it.
Gentlemen who forward names to the Publishers, are requested to mention where the books are to be sent, and if possible, to make the place of delivery some considerable and well-known town. Subscription papers will be found in the hands of Mr. Prichard and Mr. S. Pleasants, in Richmond; Messrs. Ross and Douglass, Petersburgh; Mr. E. Merick, Norfolk; Mr. R. Greenhow, Williamsburgh; Mr. Henderson, Fredericksburg; Mr. S. Bishop, Alexandria; Mr. J. Alburris, Martinsburgh; Mr. Bowen, Winchester; Mr. J. Gales, Raleigh, N. Carolina; Messrs. Bailey and Waller, Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. J. Marsh, Georgetown, Poto-mac; Messrs. Rapin & Co. Washington City; Messrs. G. Hill, and Conrad, & Co. Baltimore, &c. &c.
The Publishers have only to add, that they believe it will be found to be considerably the lowest priced law book, for a similar extent, and including a copy-right purchase, that has appeared for many years either in America or Europe.
