Hitherto, they have been managed, with indiscretion, imprudence, and impolicy. It is now thirty-six years sinee they became the property of the state; and neither their quantity, quality, gituation, nor advantages, have yet been ascertained, They probably amount to not less than 12 millions of acres. The outlines have never yet been ma, nor have the extent or value of the lakes or rivers been known or understood. They have been usually, sold in Iare tracts, to purcaWrs totally indifferent and to procure a general, attendance of republicans of this county, at Lancaster, on the 21st instant.

Mr. John Hart, ResolyedfUh. That Messrs Dickson Grimlerbe requested publish these pro ceedinsj in their -respective papers and that the editors' of newspapers faithfol to saqd prnetlung like that which we Maded through on our way from Hartford to "Westl field; but these plains are a continual sue. cession of kills and vallies covered with fine farm 5 and affording a pleasant and very extensive view of Wyoming 'Valley." On our return we came by other plains which they call Abrahams Wains, these" ara low mead-, ows by the side of the river. So you sec names here, are applied in a very dif ferent way from our notions of things.

Abraham's Plains at Quebec, ou know, are some of the highest groundi about the City, yet they are very level and are really plains. These however bear some resemblance to them, for they have been drenched by the blood of many a Wolf. This town (Borough) might be rendered very beautiful with very little cxpencc, but beauty is a consideration very little attended to. The Streets are not shaded with trees, and the passenger walks exposed to the burning Sun. All the public buildings are in the centre of the town where there is a square the sides of which, lie in an angle of 45 degrees with the Streets, but is not planted with trees, neither are the public buildings enclosed with any paling, so that they have a very naked, appearance, as if they had been placed there, because there was no other place for them.

The. Academy however is an exception, for it is' enelo sed with a high board fence something resembling a jail yard, which is not paint' ed like the building, and looks almost ag uncouth as the black Steeple at New-Haven. Bank Street, affords a fine prospect of the River, and would form a beautiful walk for the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Town, but boys of all ages are permitted to bathe along the Street at all hours of the day if Aider. mau lived here, 1 think this sport would be stopped, or transferred to some other place. This town after a rain is the most muddy place I ever saw, and although there are great quantities of gravel, and paving stones along the river, yet the citizens seems per.

fectly satisfied to wade through the mud from one year's end to another. This happens to be court week, and as I passe! about, twenty rods from the Court House, heard a great noise whieh induced me to go in. The noise proceeded from an Attorney addressing the jury who stood before them, not more than the length of his arm distant, bul he bawled so loud, that 1 was induced to eri-qnire of a' by-stander if some of the jury were deaf: he replied they were not yet, hot he concluded those who sat next the Speaker would soon be so. If eloquence consists in noise this man would make as great an Orator as our vendue-crier. Your'i, c.
