COMMUNICATIoN,

Z There arrived last week at VandaIia,
q party, consisting of men, women, and
children, TO the number Of about ninety
persons, from the province of Hides
heim, in the kingdom'of Hanover. These
people were induced to cmiaratc to this
.Sountry from the representation made CT
it by FERDINAND ERNST, a gentleman
who visited this state in the summer OF
the year 1919, and became SO much
pleased with it, particularly with Wanda
lia, which was just then settled and laid
out as the seat of government, that he de-
termined 10 make it his residence. After
having purchased some lots, and making
arrangements for improving and build
Ing on them, he returned to his native
country for the purpose Of removing his
family to this. Many more of his old
neighbors were anxious to accompany
him to this free and plentiful country,
than it was conv cnicnt or prudent for
him to assist with the means of doing SO.
Those he has brought with him, he
Knows to be honest and industrious peo-
pie, consisting of mechanics, brewers,
and farmers.
Mr.. Ernst has brought with him, as
q shepherd of his little flock, Lutheran
Clergyman, who, in addition 10 his cleri-
cal functions, will teach o school for the
education Of the children.
These emigrants cannot but prove
highly Advantageous to the town of Van
dalia, and it is hoped that they will faith
fally comply with their engagements to
their epterprizing patron, to whom they
are under great obligations for saving
them from land of degradation and
wretchedness, TO enc OF freedom and
plenty.

DEAR SIR--I enclose you copy of
The report of the committee on the pub
JIG lands on the petition of James MIRO
berts, Esq. which, from the interest that
others may have in the principles assum-
cd by the committee, ! desire you to
publish in your paper.
Judge M'Roberts, as well as others
will see the ground upon which the COM
mittee has decided and as it was posi-
BE that further testimony might be adj
duced to satisfy their acquisitions, l had
the report laid on the table, which, in the
event of the abduction of other testimony,
may be called up at any time.
The subject of granting prescriptions
to the settlers on the public lands, was
this day before the house Of representa-
Gves; but, in the language of the report
which l enclose you, Congress sees" no
good reason for extending the munifi-
oence Of the government at this time" to
those who in the eye of the law are said
to be intruders. l brought the resolu-
ton forward as l supposed in such a
shape as to give it the greatest prospect
cfsuccess but even in that shape it fail

The subject of relief to the land debt
srs has not yet been acted upon; but it
is still hoped, and expected, that some
advantageous provision will be adopted.
{ The fate of Missouri / think is pretty
we'll settled-I think she will be rejected.
The great difficulty is, that in declaring
ehe constitution of Missouri void be-
cause it violates the constitution OF the
United States, the free states are COM
,elled to surrender the ground, that they
can protect themselves against the inun-
dalton Of q free black population, which

New-Orieans papers received by us
yesterday, to the goth ultino, and which
give particular accounts of the mortality
at Bay ST. Louis, beginning with tbs
death of the lamentcd Mrs. Ripley, max c
no mention OF the death of General Rip
ley. There is, therefore, no doubt that
the report Of his death WAS without other
foundation than printers installing the
name Of his Lady for that Of himself. BY
this uniucky mistake, the General will
have the satisfaction, which falls to few
men, of learning what people would
say of him after he vas dead for, being
alive, he has been supposed dead, and
spoken Of accordingly. We hope ii will
be a long time before we have an oppor-

10 process Of time may Become as dan
gerous to them as the slaves may be in
the slave states. 1t is very delicate
and extremely important question, not
inferior to the restriction Itself.
The objection to the Missouri consti-
tuition many think ought to come from
the slave as we'll as the free states, be-
cause, it virtually leaves them no place
to which they can run their surplus ne
gro population by emancipating them.
1t amounts to more complete restric-
ton of negro population to its ancient
borders, even after the admission ofAlis-
souri,, than the restriction of last session,
would have done, if it had have been
imposed. The free states, however, con-
tend chat freencgroes are citiz ems in some
Of the states, and tie right Of locomotion
is therefore guaranteed; ard to under
take to prohibit the exercise Of that right,
ad H6itum, is a violation OF the federal
constitution. 1t is, think, momentous
question, andi shall examine it thorough
iy, and vote as my judgment shall tell
me is correct. Ii is question which |
met here upon my arrival, and l there
fore have not yet had sufficient time 10
examine it satisfactorily.
Yours, respectfully,
