ure, and shall seize the first opportunity to lay ex-
tracts from them before our readers
w We would respectfully suggest to our cotem-
porary of the Register the propriey and importance
of making early application through Mr.. Gmer for
his share of the public lands. Mr.. Gimer will be
the only distribution Representative in Congress
from the three States of Virginia, North Carolina
and South Carolina and will, consequently have
his hands very full of this business. All soveregns
therefore, who want their share during the next
sion Of Congress- would do we'll to apply at once !;
and knowing the reserve of our neighbor in this
spect, and the modesty with which he regards his
own vested rights in the public domain we have
sought to relieve him somewhat by this public sug-
gestion. Mr.. Gmer has it all figured up, and moth
ing remains to be done but to fill out and sign the
papers
That selfsacrifcing statesman Gen Leach, and
that unique and impressive orator, Henry E. Wal.
ser, of Davidson, having been disappointed far as
their shares are concerned, by the defeat of Col.
Puryear, are also respectfully advised to make ap-
plication through Mr.. Gilmer.
w We have had the pleasure of seeing in the
City this week, the Hon. Warren Winslow of Cum
berland. Mr.. Winslow seems to be in excellent
health
We have also had the qualification of seeing in
the City venerable friends, Dennis Heartt of the
Hillsborough Recorder, and Thomas Lorirg, of the
Wilmington Commercial who are here among their
friends enjoying brief respite from their arduous
labors
