commanding position between the two Platte

ty and healthfulness, is not surpassed in the
Western country. Occupying point where
the natural avenues of the country unite, it
must ever possess superior advantages for tho

Confessions of the Enemy We find, in The
Enquirer of last Friday, the following siguIar
fcsson, in letter from Washington, to the Editor
of that paper
.Govrrnor Brown has been removed from the
General Land Office, and VIII be succeeded by
Mr. Whitcomb, Of Indiana an appointment,
which, il is supposed, will give general satisfaction
and whose management will soon retrieve the
character of the Office. The removal of Governor
Brown will be approved by men Of all parties 4;
for more than four months have elapsed since
Congress- passed an act for recognizing The &c
neral Land Office, in which they gave the Com
missioner III the facilities he asked for, wnh the
mos, liberal and coniiding spirit-more Than fhy
clerks being added 10 the office, besides RfcoF-
deranJ a Solicitor, to relieve the Commissioner
from the most oncruus and difficult parts Of his
duty. Strange as 1t may appear, 1t is wen known
thai little has been done since the passage OF the
act and the Office is nearly as far removed as ever
from state Of organization. Ii has been neon
tcsliilv proved that the late Commissioner, (rucd
probably by Interested adviserS,) showed himself
totally incompetent 10 execute the dHt'es imposed
moon him by Congress, in recognizing tins I'M
pprant and wonderfully productive revenue office,
which this year will yield upwards of twenty mil
lions of dollars When Congress meets, instead
OF finding the General Land O.Hcr IN successful
opcra,ion, they will find t-as they left tin DIS
organization. In truth, no Office OF the Govern
menl requires more searching investigation ana
,horougl,rcior both regards men aud measures,
than this and nothing less Than Commissioners
of business habits and energetic characicr--a
man who viii not submit to be governed by undue
nauence--can eradicate the abuses which exist
in this bureau, and reduce the business to proper
systcm.'
We would ask who appointed Gov Brown as
Commissioner OF the Land Office ! Glen. Jack
son. Who has kept him there until now, IN the
teeth Of the confessed fact, that he was inrhclent
rs public officer, and that he permitted the I'M
