Hood TO have been the fame who recently commsn-
died on the Windward Ilaud hation.

The Legislature of Kentucky is now in fefion. From

the following extract is made, which will be found
worthy the attention Of the Virginia Legislature:
The unhappy and very perplexing conflict
on of titles to lands in this country, under the
laws of Virginia have been felt by almoft every
individual in the nate-It has been numerically
regretted and jualy conhdcred as the gredteA
and feared as the mot interminabe evil to
which we arc incidcnt--lt was with pleafure |
faw il occupy the attention Of the legi1ature At
their lae FELTON, I hoped that their wfdom
would have devifed a cure for ,his inveieraie
maIady for think it not incurable-But they
rofe without coming to any conclulion on The
fubjecl-they feemed to be deferred by the
pactona proyiGon Agaioa any alteration in tn:
land laws-But when it is conhdsred, that by
the padion between this rate and Virginia, up
on that fubjeet, it is provided that thofe law,
or any Of them may be altered by the content
Of the contracting faies-Would il not be wei
to pats a law, limiting this kind Of difpute to
Reasonable time, accompanied with lesi1ativ,
proviGons, to obtain the content of Virginia
The attempt is fursly worth making"
