itions subscquout and Until tlio granting power formally tloolnrccl a lbrfeiinro
of tliu lands they were not n matter of enquiry for third persons. Tho princi-
pic of tho Common Lav (s6 heartily despised by the Cour.) were applied in
tbolr utmost rigor itndnn itifittest of o(llcoas undorstnod by Ssir Matthew Hide
declared absolutely necessary to divdst a titlci tho conditions of which lintl
beon uuporform?d by tho grantee. This question has lieon Usually reviewed
by tlio liar through tho medium of tho common law and on this account its
nature has been misconceived. Tho laws of dpain nppllcablo to tho alieno-
tiori of lands by; tho Crown In no respects rosemblo tjio Common Law.-
Thoir origin tlioir polity their modus of procoduro Wiflro ditforont nnd no
Mvrhero in the whole range of Spanish jurisprtulenco enn be found uny thin"
like tho Inquest .of Oihoo This was nil Institution pequliar to England anil
vas h reslilt of the N'ormnri cbiiqiiest. It originatcil with tho hordos which
after tho dostruotlon of Rome settled nnd formed a now empire in Gaul and
ttormany. In Italy and Spjn a diilerent system prevailed. The Huns by
yhom Iheywero overrun adopted with slight modlllcation tho laws and n:nn-
nors of tho conquered. "Tho Visigoths on tho contrary aubjeotod Gaul nud
Germany to tlio dominion Of their own law's. Tho feudal system though com-'
mon to both tho Huns nnd Visigoths after this inroad rotalncd its intluoncos
only nmongtho former. IJonco it is that whilo tho inquest of plficc was en-
grafted on tho feudal system of tho Normans it was unknown to the constitu-
tions of lower Europe. Tho rescinblnnco between tho royal grunts 6r Spain
nnd of England is about as grent us tlio resemblanco between thd Gentoo
Idolatry ntid the Christian Religion. It must bo nlso romembored that tlio
Sarucons introduced material changes in tho jurisprudence of Spain which
romuineciioutfHiu.TjUieir oxpuismn nuu may oven to litis day bo discorncil.
It is conceded that in England nn inquest of ollico was necessary td divest
tho sUbjebt of title; where tho ultimate reversion was in tho CrowiV atone.
But ill Spain as in this country the dominion of tho soil though in the Gov-
ernment was subject to appropriation by any citizen -who hnd n ju claim
and couUl prove it vaciVht. No formal act was necessary to complete tho rever-
sion but it became a portion of the. public domain ipso facto by orfeituro
Tho present land laws of Aloxlco illustrate this fact. A silver' ihino is granted
to nchlzcii subject to forfeiture upon failure to work it in nccordnnco with
the law requiring a pillorof oro to bo qft nt ovory space of ten feet from tho
entrance; f whoever reports u noglect of this requisito tkcs to himself the
grant in his right ns denouncer. Thus n mine often sells for millions alter its
exhaustion tho right of cutting down the pillars .being thon granted. Tho
laws touching grants of land were in no wise different for whether they
;wore grants on conditions subsequent or precedent the denouncor was enti-
tled to the boneflt of tho forfeiture I very much doubt.howovor whether tlio
Crown of fcpain tver alienated tho fee of her lands. If 'tho lloynl grants
rthd'ebncessions be criticnllv oxamined. nnd a literal intcrrirttationberrivon to
tho donative words' it is very certain that nothing but tho right of usufruct
wns convoyed. The petitions far-grants used this language u(hat they may be
pleased to grant me the powtsion of land entirely vacant I" That of the oonees-

Hucli woriis certainly do not pass a tee-simpio title to lamU llieso conces
sions furnish many other proofs that they conveyed only usufructuary rights
but just now1 rhnvo no space to nlludo'to them.
But to retiirn to tho Common Law tlisro Is a caso ropor'cd in tho Year
Books of 10th Henry VIII .which seomed at that time a paradox but ns
will be shown was aftorwards considered and pronounced sound law. It re-
cognized in a particular instance as a part of tho Common Law wiat tho
laws of Spnin recognized us its invnrlablo nnd universal system bf Land
Law the right of'any citizen to denounce n forfeiture and to appropriate tho
tnnd. Henry VIII granted lands to Michael Stanhope and the heirs.of his body
in consideration ol services to bo performed as ambassadpr to Franco Stan-
hope diedbioro reaching France nnd his sou petitioned tho King to grant
the reversion to Lord Burleigh and Sir VValter Mildmny which being done
tlio reversioners prosecuted an inq'uest of office pronounced tho land forfeited
nnd sulTercd a common recovery in favor Of' Stanhope's son held that tho
KmgJg grant of reversion was good) that thq return) of office foundt v.ested tho
leq in Burleigh and.Mtldmny uud tho common recovery vested jt hi tho son of
Stan.Uopo Lord llnrdwicke many years nftor thus spoko of the case : "This
modof avoiding the statute is now prevented by I Ann St. &c 6 whicli re-
strains tho Crown from ujienatipg it possessions foe cugrcntor estate than
tlircei lives or twentyrOne years. But leaving this aside I seo no reason' to.
object .to the doctrine that whoever line u reversionary interest in lurid deppn-
dent'on its forfeiture by nnother may enquire into its present validity nud if
torieitcd take nuvantago ol it by law.. Tho inquedt ol ollico is peculiarly tlio
right of tho Crown when the ultimnto 6nership of land is in tlio Crown but
it is equally .the right of tho subject though it. may bo. in n .dillcrqnt form
when ho is under tho same circumstunqci with the Crown Hnrd''f 004 S. C.
The citizen holding a certificate under our laws is placed precisely in tho posi-
t ion assigned by Lord Hardwicko to tho British subject lies' Iiiis'n claim on
allpuldio domain nnd tho right to prove yncnnt all such as may bo held by
forfeited grunts. Tho forfeiture .either renders vacant the laud itntantly it
occurs or it npver does. In tho former caso it is a part of .the vacant domain
in tho latter it remains appropriated and not subject to location.
The next essay shall be my last and I will thoh review' tho positions and
authority cited by tho Court upon Conditions subsequent nnd precedent not
omitting tho fine-spun distinctions drawn between tho principal land.cases
from tlio Supreme Court of the United States.
Yours &c CURIUS.
Q5 The' editor of the Republic at Washington is entertaining"
himself tint! ttis renders with the proepect of diasensioit in the demo-
cratic party on the compromise. We have-no concealments on that
subject. Wo grant that there are dissension fouth of ns in fhe dem-
ocratic parly and we apprehend that it will reqlfirc both wisdom rihtl
firmness at Baltimore to adhere to principle and reconcile those who
are sound democrats on all the issues it: federal polities.
The Soiitlr will only demtuid that the compromise shall be sustain-
ed if such a demand should he needed; hut tile truth is the true dem-
ocrats of the free Stntes don't occupy a positioil ton-quire that siich a
demand should be made. They have given the best security in their
past acts wheii it required nerve to face the nWisic. It is an easy task
mow" to adhere to the compromise cdmp;iredwith what it has been
Men faithful in the Storm will not turn traitors in the calm when
there is no tenipttttton. Wo ask no man to approve the compromise
as the beta that could have been done any more thaii we ask him to
endorse the perfectipn of the tnriffof 184(i. There nre but' two issues
about the eoitipromise ; oncis the fugitive slav6 law and the' other is
the territorial bills urittoUt the proviso. All parties South are' for these
measures and those called ultras bouth nre their inosl determiner sup-
porters. The State Rights men South proclaim everywhere except
perhaps in South Carolina the compromise iw a flntil tuljiutmeui not
to be dist tubed.
There are sonie who were once democrat. North of us who went
off in 1848. What I hey may do we don't know nob do we cato. If
they choose to vote for it good democratic nominated by the Bnltimdro
convention Well and good ; but if not they dan do a' seems good in
"iltetr eyes.
But the editor of the ltepublic averts his optical developments
when his own motley and distracted faction passes bofqro him. The
.whigs of this State are forTilimoro at all hazards siud to tho last ex-
tremUy. There seems to bo no dissension on that point Tho whigs
South will generally insist upon tiirn to all appearance at present but
what will tho Whigs North do ? We dqubt if he can carry a single
whig State in that rogio'n. Botli he and Webster have changed posi-
tion since they were put into office. The mass of the northern whigs
consider them both traitors aud will hay? none of then. They will
'have Scott and he must not say fugitive slave law ?nce or they will
not have him. If a union of the tlomocratic party is difficult tho un-
ion of whigs on any platform of meaning is impossible. They mu'sl
make a humbug non-committal race'orno race ot al; and the whigs
South.swearthcy will not go non-committal again.
So Mr. Editor of tjie Republic & Co. look at harao and mind your
own business. Look at your own.chuptic scattered dilapidated frajg-
mentary jumble of factions without any common principle or meas-
ures; sending forth from the press and the halls of CongresB the most
'JUcordan jargon ?d confused pedey of opjniojns Perhaps the
.. W!'!SS. mPy get along. Tho imnoHsibility of. aiirecing in sentiment
on tho or ' Wll be a great help may ' be. They will conclude io unite entirely
