full and accurate accounts of the doings Of
the Peoples Representatives. Upon the i'm
portance of the action of the next Legisla-

The result of the late election has not de-

than that Of any former year.
In addition to the proceedings of the Leg
islature, and the general news Of the times,
we shall have regular correspondent at

GEoRo1A SESAToR.-We learn by dis
tinguished gentleman who has just arrived
from Georgia, that Judge Berrien was unan-
imously nominated at the whig caucus on
Friday evening, as their candidate for United
Senator, and that he was doubtless reelected
by the Legislature on the following day.
We learn from the same gentleman that
Mr.. Calhoun has declared himself TO be at
The service of his friends; if they desire him
10 return to the Senate, he will yield to their
wishes. Judge Huger is anxious TO resign
in his favor, on account of i'll heath. Mr..
Calhoun will be here at the opening of Con-
gress, as the Legislature of South Carolina
will mact in season 10 make all election
before Congress maets.-U. S. Journal.

Why Is HE NOT REcAILED?-We see il
stated with great confidence, that Mr.. Nc
Lane, our Minister to England, openly takos
the ant-Ame rican side upon the Oregon
question. He is said to have expressed him
self very boldly upon this subject, previous
TO his leaving for Europe; now he writes
home that" We must RECEDE from our
pretensions in regard 10 Oregon, or war with
England is inevitable"
We can tell Mr.. McLane that the Ameri-
can people will never "recedc'' an inch, be
the consequences what they may. The ter
ritory is ours-we own it up TO the latitude
81 deg. 80 min.-nor will we negotiate any
more about our title TO all of it, than our
title TO Concord or Bunker Hill. If Mr..
McLane holds the anti-American sentiments
and opinions upon this subject, which have
been attributed to him, he cannot be recalled
a minute too soon.-U. s. Journal.

AN ANCIENT RELIC.-A correspondent,

The proportions of this curious relic did
not justify the common opinion as to the gi
gahtc stature and muscular frames Of the
early Brions. The height did not exceed
five feel ten or eleven inches, and the bones
generally were not above the ordinary size.
The only indication Of muscular power was
in The amplitude Of the chest and The perfect
curve OF the ribs.

These are the prominent facts concerning
the tenure by which these lands are held.
The title of the proprletors is perfectly.
good:-the rents are very low; and the
whole is held according TO express agree
ment. The grievances complained OF by
the tenants, and which are made the pre-
texts of the rebellion and rsfusal to pay the
rents, ar. thus stated: l They alledge Il
want Of title in the landlord; this has been
disproved, and If it were we'll founed. then
certainly, have no better title than the pro-
pretor. 2 Some complain because they
pay in wheat instead Of money. There
can be no practical grievances in this pro-
vision, as with money wheat can always be
purchases; the requisite amount can always
be raised; and the arrangement was made
expressly for the benifit of the tenants

agreed to the condition; that he ges three

should therefore be its owners; the same
rule would release borrower from the
Obligation TO repay the principle OF deb'.
when he had kept 1t long enough to let the
accumulated interest equal the original
sum. 7. Another complaint is, that back
rents hrve been allowed TO accumulate;
this is as much the fault OF the tenant n
the proprietor; and moreover the late Pa
troon made the most positive and bencvo-
lent provisions in his will, for abatement
in whole or in part Of these back rents.-

THE RENSSELAER, ANTI-RENT
TROUBLES.

Mr.. Cortlandt Van Rensselaer, has pub
Iished in the Burlington IN. j. Gazette, a
communication on the subject of our cap
ton, and the following abstract of it will
hel p our readers TO a fair understanding of
case which is causing no little difficulty
iE the State Of New York acting as il does
for precedent, and extending its ramifca-
ton 10 other counties and other things:
1.-The Manor Of Rensselaerwick ex-
tends from point twelve miles below 10 a
point twelve miles above Albany, north and
south, and 10 a distance each side of the
Hudson Of twonty-four miles; it is there
fore "A miles in length, and 4S in width,
embracing the counties of Rensselaer, and
Albany, the cities Of Albany and Troy, and
some villages, excepted; lis population is
$4,000.
Tho title 10 the land rests on these
grounds. Holland, in order to encourage
emigrants made liberal offers TO PATRONS
who should plant colonies in New Neither
lands, kiIlan Van Rensselaer,, at various
times from 1880 10 1857, purchased lands
from the Indian chiefs. in presence of the
Governor, making payment in full. These
purchases were confirmed by the authori-
ties at Fort Amsterdam; by the Dutch Go
vernment at home by the English in 1864,
again in 1858, and still again IN 17G4 and
finally by the State Of New York in 1921,
by a provision of the constitution, saving
that nothing in that instrument shall affect
any grants Of lands within the State, made
by authority Of the King or his predeces-
sors." The Judiciary Committee in the
Legislature, last year, said expressly that
if this was no, good title, "there can GER
tainly be none in the State"
3.-Most of the Manor is settled under
perpetual leases, by which tenants hold the
farms in perpeluity, with reservation TO
the proprietor Of mines and streams, the
right 20 erect mills and 10 cut timber for
them, the right of ingress and egress over
The land by the paying for the land SO used
and quarter OF the purchase money on
every alienation of the estate otherwise
than by will. The tenant is bound 10 nav
yearly rent in wheat, four fat fowls, and
a days service, and TO pay all taxes.
4.-Tho rents paid by the Heidelberg
and Rensselaer, farmers are ten bushels Of
wheat per 100 acres, and the average OF
the whole manor is about IL bushels per
100 acres, less than one bushel 10 9 acres.
These terms were preferred by lhe'original
tenants, to purchase in fee.
