A young man, a citizen of PENNSYLVANIA, coms
into the Borough of Wilmington to reside in the yes
1925. and continues there a few months, ,urin,
which time he is assessed by the Hundred ASS, ,or
but removes to Pennsylvania in the Spring mex ri
lowing before the Collector comes round. and M
being found by the Collector is returned and pa,,p
as an Error. This young man continues to resrl
out of this state from this time, to wit, the Spring 4
l826, till the Spring of 1897, when hs father hav
inc purchased some Real Estate in Pencader Hun
drei, removes there and settles on it, bringing ii;
family, including this son with him the Father new
cr having before resided in this State. AT few
months after this removal, the Father dies intestap
aud this young man heirs part Of the Real Esat
aforesaid. In September of the same year, the CA
Iector of the Hundred calls for the taxes assessed O,
the aforesaid Real Estate in the of its former
holder,-thls young man pays it and takes receir
for the same. Quere Does this receipt under tie

Froyn the Trenton Ir1e american.

Some of the most violent opposition papers that
now support the cause Of General Jackson with SO
much fiery zeal, are conducted Wy men VINO Dut a
few years ago were the most noisy in the denunca-
ton ofhis character and capacity. Among lhe mum
ber, are the Richmond Enquirer; the Delaware
Gazette the American Sentinel Of Philadelphia !;
the Trenton Emporium Mr. Noah now of the En-
ouirer then of the Advocate, New-Y0rk the New
York Evening Post the Albany Argus the New
Hampshire Patriot !; aud many others to the South,
North, and West. These set the example in
the work of decrying Gen. jackson and his qualih-
cations, and abused him most roundy Tor years to-
ucther; yet they are now his sycophants and adm-
rers and not only laud him to the skies. but actual
" do nounce all who dare to speak OF him with the
slightest disapprobatin or disrespect.
EEiracf from the recent communication OF the foD-
| eraor of Ohio to The Legislature Of has State:
| ..Allow me gentlemen, to invite your attention
to another subject believed to be OF much import
ance to our country The Society for coonizing
the free people of color Of the United States have de-
monstrated the practcabity of their sheme, and sue
ceeded in awakening the public mind to just est
mate of the objects they have in view
| at would be difficult to determine whether the
appeal which has been made by the society to the ma
ton, addresses itself more powerfully 10 the slave,
or nnnslave holding States to the benevolence, the
interest or the fears of the people. the measure
is as believe it to beg essentially national, then
are all interested. and should be deeply concern
ed for its success. There is nothing more evident,
than the liability of the Society, aided only by pri-
vae charity, to carry their whole scheme into effect.
If the object shall ever be fully accomplished, it
must be bv the aid Of the strong OF the Govern
ment, which is now invoked in its behalf | sug-
yest to your wisdom whether the State should not
extend her helping hand. The expression even Of
a favorable opinion, will not be without its effect.
..Shoud this Society not succeed in removing the
free people of colour to the land Of their Fathers,
it will be question Of grave and solemn inquiry,
how long Ohio will continue to tolerate the emigra-
ton to her territory, of this unfortunate and degra
dcd race. Their rapid increase has already given
serious alarm to many of our citizens. and it may
even now be necessary for us I'm self-deience.) tc
