prisoner was married TO Edge was also proved.
THIS singular defence was held TO be good,

and under the charge Of The court, she was
acquitted. The hymeneal chains seemed h

Appropriation cf the Public Lands for Fdu-
cdtton-We marvel that nothing is said at pres
ent, either IN or out of Congress, in relation to
the appropriation of certain portions Of the pub
nc lands, for the promotion Of education, equally
among all the states of the confederacy. as well
as among the new states, where the lands are sit
uated TO US, il appears a matter Of the most
perfect right and Justice, that snch an apportion-
ment should be made and we could wish to see
the legislatures Of the several states insisting up
on it, until the right should be obtained. The
argument put forth in the document sanctioned
and published by the legisat IRE Of MARYLAND, we
have ever esteemed conolu$ i've and unanswera-
ble II is true that the Legislature Of this state
without much reflection, dissentad from the Ma
ryland proposition, and adopted an elaborate
counter-report. But we did not consider the
argument Of the latter document well-founIed.
nor have we believed that it spoke the language
ofthe people Of this state upon the subject TO
Us the question is of the plainest solution, and
the argument within the compass Of nutshell.
The public lands have been purchased bv The
blood, and the money OF the whole United States
They are consequently the property Of the whole
and every state is alike entitled to its due pro-
portion. Large tracts, however, are granted
from year to year, to the new states, for various
purposes, and large reservations for the ptrpo-
SEES of education, have been made. But not On
rcre conaes 10 the old atstes, the original, ana
greatest propnetors. They only come in with
the new states for their annual dividends 81 the
money which flows into the general treasury
from actual sales. Will nobody look 10 this
matter. Win not our Legislature think Of it

more they multiply aud spread, the more
splendid will the name of that nation be-
come, which has bestowed these inesttfna-
hle blessings on the world. The laws oil
England, founded on principles of liberty,
are still, in substance, the cede OF America
Our writers, our statutes, the most modern
decisions Of our Judges. are quoted lueeery
court Of justice from tie ST. Lawrence TO
the Mississippi. English law, as well as
English liberty, are the foundations on
which the legislation of America Is found
ed. The authority Of our jurisprudence
may survive the power OF our government,
for as many ages as The laws Of Rome com
maDded the reverence of Europe, after the
subversioil of her empire. Our language,
is that of America, rs il Is that of Eng

Shakespeare and Of Milton are multiplied.
The fatue Of every future Lnsllshman

Among the sites visited by the Com
missioners, appointed by the President,
were two on Blue River, Indiana, about
80 miles from this place, nearly IN
southwest direction, and about or S
miles from the Ohio river.
The upper site has been represented
to US as very favorable one. The
banks being high and steep, and very
considerable bend in the river, the cal
cua,ion is, should the armory be erect
ed there, TO build dam 70 feet high ;
open race way OF 2o6 perches in length

of 25 feet A inches can be obtained.

Oftz0o first rate Horses, and S so. ,
TEyWO valuable horses having been stolen
4 from me. in the course of the last summer,
| will cheertully give one hundred and fifty
dollars in state paper and transfer my right
to either horse, TO any person vino will detect
and bring to punishment the THE that stole
the horse.
The first was stolen from me in June last.
He IS stout, heavy made, short bodied, light
bay colored horse, about ID hands high, 9
years old, star in h S forehead, considerably
wlnd-galled, little marked With the collar,
has a lofty carriage, carries good tail, PAGES
well, trots slow, long, and rolling, and works
well IN gig.
The second was stolen from me between
the 2O,h and last Of Jlly. He is bay, about
10 hands high, five or six years old, somewhat
light bodied; ms neck at the junction with
tie head is larger, and less sloped than usual.
and seems to JOIN the head in almost strait
Inc. When standing, his hind legs appear to
be crooked, and his nnd feet Turn outward, so
as to give TO his hind parts an awkward appear
snce; but when he moves under the saddle,
ms legs then appear strait enough. His car
rl2ge IS lofty, his fine cars are handsomely
prcked up. He walks remarkably well, and
from ms ~ up forward IS "a fine looking horse.
ihe hoows Of his eyes are deeper than usual.
When stolen, he had long tail, which either
had not been locked or WAS docked pretty
long. But the last time | heard OF him, he APP
peared with a long oobbed tail. There is no.
thing, however, more remarkable in HIM than
the contrast in his appearance, when standing,
and IN motion.
Three distinct attempts have been made in
the course OF the present month to steal ano-
Their one OF my horses, and the extraordinary
imrnoi,y Win WtIIen stICn Uuuuccs wave urrTr
heretofore committed, and the difficulty Of
bringing prosecutions to speedy determine
ton, leave me little ground to hope that, those
attempts will not be renewed during my alb
sence from home. | have therefore adopted
the precautlon Of branding my remaining hor-
ses all bays, about sixteen hands high, with
The letters J. NJ, And should any Of them be
stolen, pledge myself TO reward, most libe-
rally, any one who will detect the thief and
bring him TO punishment. The honest part of
the community will ere long find themselves
compelled TO cooperate for such purposes;
for never have viilanous confedcracies pre-
vailed to greater extent than al present.
