For Me Enquirer
TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, NOW IN SEES


The .Ip,y law demands your attention. Our statute
seems to huve been framed rather Tor the corcn!cMc
of certain CLASSES, than the rights OF tgang parties
rather 10 CTclldr than Ia ScHTr the m"fHrcd sLy-
,icnce aud mfSd"m Of the land i'll tho composition vi
uries 10 decide matters nl "mcHm Hnd Wnm." The
number of exemptions is tO0 srcnf, and, i'll many in
s.nucrs mboEV nnnttcSSaru. Ii reduces the number
of serving Jurors to very small! class, and imposes
upon them an undue burthen. Ii relieves pro-
ssiomal men, generally, aud imposes oppressive IL
bors too much npon the "0rh1"S ch'ss"S Why eX-
cIude men of Ga years Of aye from urirs, and allow
those of II To serve! j. il because the young men
make better Jurors than the old Because they are
more competent To understand conflicting evidence,
and see the right of kmotty question Of both law and
fact more certHiny, Let the MnkfIiFd hung llrrs
aud new trials that prevail in Courts these
questions. Let the honest li,igant, in pursuit of right
and Justice, decide and he will promptly say, give
me iury,f "a'rHrr and rcrrrfH1 SeHiOrS and not
Ofthpug tlcss, inexperienced y0HRg mtH To- decide iny
rights. No, the law il ~r0Hg, and works cr"i'njHs-
t,. Its object was, rrnlly, not the right adjustment
of legal controversies between man and man, but
rarIless Of that, it sought to accommodate iarV,,d
,a>icS by casting their burthens upon others Its i'd
vuchtcs say, old men cannot leave home cUuvc-
miclty H. the young men. While this may be true,
III many particular instances especially Of unmarried
men, all experience disproves il general PROPOSE
ton. The man If 10 has grown sons to manage his
affairs when lie is away but the Ui - 80 has
wife nnd SmaN chH!rca, and no body 10 over.Uo. his
business while dragged to Court, time aud again, 10

Gentlemen Permit II friend OF the old soldiers to
inform them, through the medium OF your widely cir
culated paper, that land warrants have taken reac-
tion and have gone up To 81 per acre. But Il few
DAYS ago, they were worth but 20 and % cents per
acre. There is no reason why warrants should ever
sell for less than 81 per acre, and if the applicants and
country dealers will look well 10 the rise and decline,
and will hold ON to their warrants when there dis
position Of the city dealers to put down the price, they
may keep the price fully up to per il not high
or. The New York dealers have been Systematically
engaged in putting down the price for the last month
predict that there will be still further advance in
tie cuurse OF the mex, ten days.
