ury Of the United States has rccommen-
ded the repeal of the existing tariii Of dn-

tute therefor, in the provisions of which
the protective prlnci pie is, as we COLI
ceive, abandoned in regard to important
interests of the particularly in
regard to the growth and manufacture of
Woodland whereas large investments
have been made (under the faith of the
Government that they would he protect
ed) by the citizens of this State, in both
branches Of that business, which would
be lost or rendered wholly unproductive
under the operations of such a law
Therefore it is resolved by this Gene
raj Assembly, that our Senators in Con-
gress be instructed, and our Representa-
tves requested, to use their exertions to
prevent the provisions Of said bill, as re-
commended by the Secretary, from be-
coming a law, and also to prevent any
modification Of the present law, IN re'a-
ton to those important interesrss which
does not amply protect them against fo-
reign competition.

BRACKENRIDGE'S LETTER TO THE
PRES: DENT

We stated the other day, that the Constitution
and Laws having put the Judges of the Territories
In his power, President Jackson was sweeping the
old incumbcnts from Office, without the allegation
OF misconduct against them far as was known
to the Public, to provide snug bcrhs for trouble.
some iavorites and clamerous partizans, who
having toed in his service at elections and muster
grounds, demanded the quid pro quo. We also
stated that in the number Of the old Judges super
seeded, was II. VI. Breckenridge of Florida, whose
place had been given 10 young Mr.. Bryce, of
Frederick, in this State. (Tho Senate have not
yet disposed Of the nomnaton)
Judge Breckenridge, conccivng himself i'll
treated, has addressed the Public on the circum
stances, through the Telegraph, and we have
transferred the letter to our columns, by way Of
antdotc to the readers mind against the assaults
Of melancholy. The spirit and beauty Of the let
ter, render it highly attractive as composition:
the severity Of the sarcasm, will prove grateful to
those who indulge an unjustifabc appetite for high
seasoning; but the specimens of tho cpistoIary
elegance Of the Hero, constitute by much. the
most interesting portion of the Document -
Councillor Daniel, who so much fascinated
with the Ioros manners, at Old Point, will be dc
lighted to discover the corresponding elegance o.!
his cPlstolary accomplishments. Our learned and
witty Contemporary Of the Enquirer, said the
other day OF Gov. Miller, of S, Carolina in Dor
rowcd phrase that che the fly in ambcr-no
one cares fcr the fly, but tho wonder is, how the
D. he got there" We must be indebted to
our ncghbor for the loan of his facetiousness.

JUDGE BRACKENRIDGE,S LETTER

tn the Editor of the United States Telcgrnph;
The injustice and indignity which have recent

The public is already informed of the act which
prompts inc to mako this communication The
glazing abuse, on the part of tho President Of tho
power conferred on him by law, by means of which
abuse, the Judiciary of the territories has been
placed in state OF dependence on the will and
pleasure or rather on the tyrannica caprice of one

Rail-Road Company. at the EIg'a Hotel in the
1892:
Joseph Marx, Esq, was He'd to the Chair, and
bernard Pcyton mp ,ointri Secretary.
The following Pr .ubl' and Resolutions wore
uSAN'Ns"sLY adopted by thc Meeting, and ordered
10 be published in the newspapers OF This city, VIZ:
Whereas, IN pursuance @. an Act Of the Lcgs-
hture incorporating Joint >tnc,l Company, for
the construction Of i Rti.- Road from I.ynchburl. TO
some point New River, books OF subscription
wero opened in Lyncnhur@, and the amount of
about $500, 900 WIS there subscribed in conformity
herewith, and subsequently books 81 subscription
were opened at Richmond, and the amount of
S2O6 100 was there subscribed FOR the purpose a!orc-
said; and whereas the subscribers aforesaid made,
application 10 the Legislature" at their last session.
for subscription OF two-i!is on tho part of tho
State, under coa'idcncr that in useful an en-.
tcrprisc, the Legislature would have had no
hesitation to 70 far in cmbarhing the funds and
the interest Of the State in this as in any othcr
work of the kind, bat contrary to this expectation.
which had induced many of the subscribers to take
an interest in the work, the Legislature refused TO
grant any aid whatever, is believed in conSc-
quonce OF their having passed several for In
ternal Improvements, all highly interesting in their
nature, more especially, the act incorporating the
James River and kanawha Company, for the
purpose of ctcctinga work doomed OF vital import
to the whole State and of paramount interest
to Richmond and i.ynchburg, and all parts having
connection with the James and KanaM la Rivers:
Under these circumstances, the subscribers now
Assembled, decmingit proper, before they proccel

situation, have come To the conclusion, thlt the
whole amount subscribed, will not hc equivalent to
more than one third, or perhaps fourth of what
may be requisite to bring the work 20 . successful
completion, and that the subjects Of Improvement

u3 The PUBLIC LANDs-It will be Remembered
That the question of the disposition of the Public
LANDS, was unnaturally forced upon the Committee
on Manufactures against the protest of that Com
mlttee, under the prctencc that the Public Lands
were connected with the Tariff. We opine that
benton and his associates, already reorct the di
rccton they gave to the subject Mr. CLAW has
made Report of great volume and of alledped
commanding ability, the points of reducing the
price OF Public Lands, and transferring them to tho
respective States in which they are situate. on
equitable terms. If we may Judge by the futter
ing denton opposing the second reading of tho
Bill by which the Report was accompanied and he
and others opposing the printing of 5000 extra CO.
pies OF the Report, which was however ordered(
those who are making the Public Lands the basis
OF political movement, felt upon the reading Of
the Report their spcculations stranged in the era
die.
The National Intelgencer furnishes a synopsis
of this important Report, which we shall early re-
publish The quantity of the Public Domain, is
computed at one thousand and ninety millions
eiSh' hundred and seyenty-one thousand acres
tho value at one thousand three hundred and sixty
three millions, five hundred and eighty nine thous
ana dollars! The Committee gravcly advert to tho
ProPriety of alternating this immense property from
the whole People, and transferring it to those Of
six seven States.
Contemporaneousy, Mr.. Wicklfc made a Re-
port to the House of Representatives. adverse to
the recommendation of the Secretary of the Trea
sury, in relation to the sale of Public Lands to the
respective States in which they lie; adverse to a
distribution of the proceeds of such sales; but in
favor of reducing the price
