ton would be entirely cleared except for the daily

COMMUNICATED.l


Mr.. EDITOR I have been delayed by crcum-
stances beyond my control in responding to the
communication of your contributor potomac"
as well as the last article of "Pomonkey." 1t
will be remembered, that my purpose in reply
ing to Pomonkey's first article was not to justify
the provisions of the late act upon the subject
of the fisheries, for these may be, and doubtless
are, open to well founded objections But it
was to correct what considered an erroneous
inference, that might have been and most likely
was drawn from the tenor of his article, to wit:
That the last Legislature is exclusively answer
able for the existence upon the statute book Of
the laws which fell so much under bis indignant
denunciation. Now, sir, by the way of demon
strating the correctness of my position, must
beg of you to do me the favor Of placing in your
columns both the laws, as may be found laid
down in the Code, and the late act, in juxtapo-
siton. By SO doing, your readers will have an
opportunity of seeing at glance in what par
ticulars the anticedent law is modified by the
late act, and at the same time form just idea
how much greater would be the amount of OPP
preston and wrong inflicted upon the OILERS by
the provisions of the late act than would be
visited upon them by those Of the previous law:
