WHAT degree Of bo1ver ought to be en-
trusted to the State

WHAT DEGREE ofbo1ver ought to be en-
trusted to the State
thought to be supreme.
Whdt do you mean By supreme to7ue,S
That power which can command the
whole force Of the. citizens, and all their
resources.
Whv Is this necessary
Because the whole may be wanted for
sel}-deience.
Is not supreme pozUer in a state danger
Gus
It's it may be abused by those who
have it; but this is no reason why it should
notexlst: the power which every man has
over his own person is absolute and this
is his own perfection as an agent and not
less so, because he may abuse that power
to self destruction: no person can desire
to become paralitic for fear he may destroy
himself.
Shou9 this pozver extend TO aNthings2
1t should extend to all things which re-
late to the defence and perfection of the
body polite.
Is there not danger Of governing tao
much 2
There may be it is best to leave men,
generally, to pursue their own happiness
in their own way; provided they do not
in1ure themselves or others but when
they do either, the law should controul
them; for the good ofthe state ard that of
It's members are inseperably connected.
After ali, there IS more danger ,ef govern
ing too little than too much.
Gan there never be Just cause tocomblein
that government is TOO energetic ?
Never; perfect energy is nothing more
than the perfect controul Of the public will
or the laws; if that will be unjust Or ty-
rannical, tlieprincble, and not the energy,
of the government is in fault if just and
good, the more perfect the energy the bet
ter.
Butts there no room in the best govern
ments far the exercise ofmercy2
There is room for pardons, in many ca
ses if the sentence be too severe, CIR on
doubtful evidence, there is ground for
pardonlng or renting it but this is not
mercy but justice: pardons also may be
granted where in tumultuous times, often
ces are greatly multiplied, SO as to involve
great part of the community, as some
times happens but this is not mercy but
policy. They may also be granted where
a substitute is offered and accepted and
lastly, where there is evidence Of repent
ance and amendment; provided the crime

Near NAtebtS, Nov. S, 1909.
SIR,
have now the honor to reply more particu-
arly to your letter of the goth July iaft, and to
lay before you flch information as I have been
enabled to collect, in relation to the various OBJ
Jeets OF your enquiries.
iii iioiniiiy to your requeit, the claimants
OF lands (ot the defcription you mentioned)
were invited by public advertisement {" TO fle
prior to the firiit day of November. before tbe
proper county officers, 1.-THE clerks of the coun-
ty courts,) the particular authority and extent
OF their respective claims, and the claim of title
derived, TO the prefcnt claimants, from the orr
gnal title"
had hattered myfelf that the acouieEcence
with this invitation would have been filch as to
have afforded ground for accurate climates.
But, from various caufcs, the returns are not 70
general as had wifhed. Some few claimants,
whole title, have reafon to believe are fully
and legally executed, have omitted to tate
them either through inattention or from an
unaccommodating dfpoftion S,there arc fome
others who have avoided exhibiting their
claims (probably) from an unwillingnefs to ex-
pole their weakness, and fear produced by a
report, which fome de6gning character circulat-
Cd with induitry, that the call for titles was in
tended to work their immediate injury Hay-
ing premiied thus much with view to apprize
you that the return of claims which accompany
this lltteris not complete (a); will proceed
to notice your enquiries in the order you have
placed them.
If "With refpeet to the extent of territory,
both on the MfIifiippi and the Mobile,
which has been relinquifhed by the Indi-
ans"
Until the boundary line between the United
States and Choctaw Indians fhall have been re-
traced anC plainly marked, Ia work which un-
deiisdnd will ihortly be executed under the d-
reetion Of general Wikinfon) the quantity of
land TO which the Indian claim has been extn-
gui'hed cannot be correctly sfcertained. But
from the bef information in my poGe1ion, I
do conjecture that there may be on the Niilif-
fipPi, two thoufand FIVE hundred fquare miles,
or about one million Fix hundred thoufand acres,
which comprehend the counties of Jefferfon, A.
dams, Wikinfon, and Claiborne.
Ontbe Mobile, | do ALTO conjecture, without
pretending to accuracy, there may be about
four thonfand tx hundred fuuare miles, or near
three millions of acres, which compete the
county of Warrington.
The greater part oftbe land on the MiGiffip-
pi above alluded TO, is fertile and well adapted
TO cu!tiyation-of the three millions of acres on
the Mobile, there are fuppofed to be near two
millions of pine barrens, little of which is fnf.
cepubie Of culture the balance is faid TO be
good land, and ] am informed that it may be
cultivated 20 advantage.

Sd. Claims derived underthe Britiih and Spa
Nth governments, previous TO the treaty of
1875, unaccompanied by actual iettlement az
the date Of the treaty"
No claims ofthis defcription have been fled {;
nor is 1t probable there are many fuch Of Spa
Difh origin. But It is matter of great notori-
ETY. that Britiih claims of this fpecies are nu-
merois-by far the greater part of the valuable
improvements and plantations, is made upon
lands heretofore granted by the Britih govern
ment, of Wen Florida, but which were re-grant-
ed by the Spanilh government.
1t may be proper in this place TO Rate that
the time allowed by the treaty Of peace of 1888,
for Brtifh fubje6ts to fell, convey or fettle their
lands, was prolonged by the Spanifh govern
msnt, aud that two or three years beyond the
terms granted by the treaty had eIapfed, be-
fore the Spanilh government commenced the
rc-granting Of land which had formerly belong
ed to Britifh fubieas.
Claims derived under the Spauini government
by grants made fubfequeBt to the Sanifh treaty
of 1875.
Thcfe may be dGinguiflied into three clafIcs.
m. When patents were iHued fubfrduent to
the treaty, on Spanifl warrants Of furyey made
previous TO the treaty.
cd. When the warrants as well as the patents
were fubfequent to the treaty.
Sd. When both warrants and patents were
iideed fnbfequent TO the treaty, but both ante
dated, 70 as 20 make them appear prior to the
treaty.
1T. When patents were inucd fubfeduent to
the trsHy, on Spanilh warrants of furvsy
grhnsd previous 10 The treaty.
