gentleman has been emulatsd here very successfully
and under the extraordinary plea of affection for the
African and under pretended protests against the
extension of slavery scientific and consolidated scheme
and complicated arrangement with links extending over

man are considered here in the vocative.

appointment Of the Legal Commissioners. Mr. Duer has
been recommended TO the Legislature by the bar OF
York as suitable FOL the Office of Commissioner

appointed as one OF the revsers of the laws But the
members Of the Legislature have been caucussing with
