claring themselves permanent, order two of
their members to go ON board and acquaimt

which Inc might be accompanied but that
foreign ships must await the decision Of

Non Resideats.--Thc law of the
last session OF the Legis iature, inn
posing upon non-rosidents a triple FAX
upon failure to list their lands or
pay their taxes agrceabIy to the terms
oil the law, excited much dissatisfaction
throughout the U. States. We werc
called spectators, swindiers, extor-
TONERS; attempting by imposing severe
penalties 70 wrest from the lands Of
persons residing in other states the
property which they had acquired ia
this. The policy of the measure was
called in question-it was said that it
was calculated to retard the settlement
OF this state; that by grasping at sls-
DOW, we lost the substancc-that it
would drive us into numerous law suits,
which whether gained or lost, the state
would be the sufferer. That there were
grounds of complaint, we candidly adj.
nit; but 1.-THE last Legislature commit
ted an error, this has remelied il bg
the passage of a law entitled can act
for the relief of certain persons whose
lands, bank stock, Sc. have been sold
for taxes, and for other purposes"
The first section Of this act provides
that all persons whose lands &c. have
been stricken Off to the state for the
triple tax, shall be allowed until the
first day Of January next to redeem the
same, "by paying into the State Treasu-

Something has been SAID about the

stitutions referred to by the Council, with
their "specihed realized tunds,' are
