For the FEDERAL GAZETTE,
I am inclined to think that" A

-\ '„¦ sklarmedat what he considers an approach-
-£ jicr -¦. arhre between the Legislative and the
_~j ,.iczliciai departments of the state govern-
'sen <=¦ 4lt) has overlooked the real merits of '¦ Mr.
-"I?- Doiraey's quiet possessions." How a law,
,«3 >l-joressly intended !o confirm rights to pro-
-*T.e;K"ty fairly purchased and honestly paid for,
c;iii be supposed to cause litigation and pro.
jjcjrt; a legislative and judicial war, I am uf-
te*~ly unable to conceive. If lain corretly
in termed on the subject, the bill, from

consequences, goes only to secure to us that

(vender existing laws) may at any time be

Not having been at Annapolis lately \I

the particular act, to w'v.eh ' A Looker-on"

in the case under consideration, from pnn-
