THE GERRIT SMITH DONEEs.
Editoss Of the Asp- York TyttEBs.
In one or two articles on the subject OF Donations
Of Land by Gcrrit Smith, you say that such dona-
tons y ere on condition THAI the donees should set
10 upon the land This think is q mistake. Hsv-
ing been OF the persons appointed to select the
beneficisries in adjoining County, received one
of bis printed circulars in which the requisites for
baueficiAries are named. These requisites were
mat they should be white inhabitants OF the
State of New York, between the ages of 2l and co.
yirtuous andeu and poor, aud entirely clear OF the
vice OF drinking intoxicating liquors" TO be taken
from the sexes in equal numbers The white bene-
6csres in the State were thousand. distributed
among the Counties according to their population.
Mr. Smith did not therefore, require that those
who received the lands should promise to settle on
them. And he also finally determined not to give
land TO the 500 females, but to give each Of them
instead $50 in money, with the recommendation
that they should invest il in land, but not requiring
1t. He thus gave to the 500 females an cash,
$4,000, besides the $4,000 lin $40 sums to the
males Respectfully, ANTHONY LANE.
