Some Editors, ranked as National Re
publicans, still harp upon the propriety
and policy of giving up Mr.. Clay for
Mr.. Writ, as our candidate for the Presi-
dency.
The sagacity or motives of those who
advocate such measure, may well be
questioned-as it would ruin the party,
sacrifice a worthy friend, and perhaps
jeopar die the policy for which we are
contending.
1t has been rumoured that Mr.. Writ
is hostile to the American System, and
the total silence on that all-engrossing
subject, by the Convention which nomi-
mated him, strengthens such an opinion.
Mr. Clay, on the contrary, has been
the early, untiring and able advocate of
the protective system.
The National Republican, is the only
party in existence that is increasing in
numbers, or that is likely to increase-to
their exertions is mainly owing the pre-
sent very general opinion that now pre-
walls, of the necessity of continuing the
present policy.
To calculate, under these circumstan-
ces, that the National Republicans will
yield their candidate TO the will of a
minority handful Of men-acting on
no fixed political principles--avowing a
single object, in which many Of them
feel no interest, and others wholly dis
approve Of is idle and preposterous.
The fact is, if Mr.. Writ does not de-

Delinquent Lands.-Our attention has
been called TO the Law on this subject, bv a
correspondent from Nelson county. we
have thought, ourselves, that the late law
would cause much difficulty, and in many
cases, great injustice. If those who have
come IN possession of land by purchase or in
herltance, have to trace back for fifty years
past, and ascertain that the taxes had been
regularly paid by the various proprictors
during all that time it will be task that few
VIII be able TO accomplish; and that a man
who, from 10 10 % years, has been in pos
session OF a tract of Land, and regularly paid
the taxes on it, must forfeit to the Common
wealth because some prior owner had neg
lected to pay years taxes would seem to
be hard one. We subjoin the observations
OF our correspondent on this subject.

is of Cotton, and the filling of Wool; and
they are pronounced by competent Judges TO

TO be highly beneficial to the farmers of the

(being the first day of the quarterly term,
Tor The purpose oftaking into consideration a
law passed at the last session of the Legisla-
laturo, concerning Delinquent Lands when
IT was unanimously resolved to instruct their
representative TO use his best exertions TO
procure repeal or modification Of said law
Permit me to invite your attention TO care
iul persUal oftbat act, and 10 compare the
lists ofLands returned for your county
You will no doubt be struck with surprise at
the enormous injustice which NUT be pro-
duced by its operation. You will perceive
that, aiterthe FIRST day Of January next, the
Lands so returned are irredeemably forfeit
cd. And if the claimants Of said Lands can
Ind any remedy, il is by petition to the
Superior Court Of ChanCery, where he is TO
pay all costs, successful or unsuccessful
Where landed property changes its owner so
often as il deos in this country, and when the

make good any dckn1uencies for the last fifty

sat near the sIde door had his hand on

could open it, he was thrust against the
