opinion of the recent Exchequer Reports. In my

GENTLEMHN: Your letter OF the Path has been re-
ceived, in which you ask my opinion a. to the
value Of the English Exchequer Reports, from Price
and to the expedicncy of reprinting them in this
country. Ofthc high value Of these Reports, both
on the Pleas and Equity sides of the Court, have
not the least doubt the decisions Of this Court for
Common Law, being entitled to equal respect with
any others in England. I should think an Ameri-
car lawyers library essentially incomplete with
out them.

Statutes at Large; the latter being the authorized
edition Of the Acts Of Congress, got up in much
better style, both for reference and preservation,
than under the old regime Of public printing at
Washington, which included the annual statutes,
and sent them forth TO the world thin paper and
in bad type.
From the Ns,o York Evening Post
Little s. Brown. of Boston, to whose enterprise
the reading public has 90 often been indebted for
the most valuable American and foreign books,
propose 10 publish, by subscription, series Of
the English Reports in Law and Equity. This Sc
ries will contain all the authoritative decisions Of
the House of Lords the Courts of Equity. the Privy
Court, the Queens Bench, the Exchequer, Common
Pleas, &c.
The profession assured that this series will be
the most complete of any reports now published.
A careful examination OF the Jurisf and Latp Jour-
nal for series of years discloses the fact that many
important cases are here reported which are not
found in the contemporaneous reports OF Meeson &
Welsby, Manning, Granger x Scott, Adolphus &
Ellis, and other reporters; and the Lac Journal
alone during the first seven years Of it's existence,
published over one thousand cases not then else
where reported.
As to tho character of the reports Of the "Law
said. In England they are regarded as Of high
authority, and are cited with appreciation and re-
spect in the Engish courts, and by their most en-
inent elementary writer's.
They are cited with confidence, and autho
rity, in the judicial opinions of Judge Story, and
other eminent American Judges, and in the writ
ings of Greenieaf, Kent, Angel, Phillips, Gritty,
and Others; and, for accuracy, clearness and bre-
witty, are equal to any English reports now pub
lished.

His Grafton was public. 1t was delivered in the
Capitol of Georgiain the hall Of her Legisiature-a
hall whose walls, venture TO affirm, before
echoed the enunciaton- of such ultra federal sent-
ments-sentimens SO ultra, that we heard them dis
claimed and repudiated by several of the most devo-
ted Union men among us-and it was delivered at
time, when the rights of the States are in Imminent
jeopardy-when the Unon-the glorious Union of
our santed slreS, IS more than before exposed TO
the yawnng and bottomless gulph of consolidation.
Under these circumstances should be recreant to
Duty falthless to the post occupy, were we not TO
enter solemn protest, against me general tone OF
that part of the Grafton 10 which we nave adVerted.
If the Editor of the Union had heard Mr.. Miller's
Grafton, and had given account of certain portions
of it, he could not have done the life than
he has in the above.
Now, what we have TO repeat, upon review of this
whole matter is that it is grossly improper in any
man deliver party harangues the Fourth of july
or to discuss points in politics in relation to gov
eminent, about which differences of opinion are known
exist among the people and that all attempts to
injure the cause of State Rights with the view of
exaltng and consolidating the powers of the General
Government, or to produce the impression that the
people of the South to blame for the existing
excitement" while those of the North are not TO
blame, calculated no matter what the design or
intention may be, 10 encourage our assaants in the
free States and thus involve the Union in still deeper
peril. Such attempts Disunion movements and we
characterize them accordingly.
Let the Editor Of the Register reflect upon these
things, and answer US, if he can. We want no slang,
nor do the people desire to be bored and troubled
with it. Let US have facts and arguments. cause
which cannot sustain itself on its merits, with
'u the of misrepresentation and abuse, deserves

W. Miller for Congress in this District, and advises

Go to the polls and vote for those sterling pat

position to these gentlemen, it is true, but then
your vote may be necessary defeat the schemes of
the Federal leaders. We anticipate movement of
the sort against Mr. Ashe, yet it is due that gallant
and unfaltering friend of institutions that he should

it. " Forewarned, forearmed.''

Gently received from distinguished Republican of

g most sincerely hope thai the Hon. Green W.

he will be The pennies servant. No scheming, no
intrigues will engage his attention. Pure and hon.
