LAND FRAUDS AND SpECULATIoNs.
Mr.. Van Buren, has authorised the
Globe TO deny that he has had any
concern in the land speculations and
populations so much talked of, and so
well understood by the people. How
is it that every State that has been
heard from is against the Magician,
excepting those States where there has
been and now arc land sales-Illinois,
Missouri, and Arkansas? Cannot the
people see at once, that the land spe-
culators in these States have given the
quid pro quo? That the receivers, sur
veyors and others of the land offices,
have enabled them to make selections
ofthe choice bottom land on the river
and water courses, and in return they
have furnished the means to carry on
the elections in favor of Mr.. Van Bu-
rem Cannot the people see that there
has been division of profits, and that
the gamblers protected by the public
patronage, are making returns in shape
OF buying votes for the benefits they
have received? How is it, that in N.
Carolina, where the lands are owned
by the honest ysomanry ofthe country
where the democratic party has al
ways been triumphant, that they have
detected the wolf in sleeps clothing,
and still intend to be triumphant? In
kentucky there are no land sales We
ry limited sales in Indiana and Alaba-
ma IN proportion to their population.
Those States could not be bought.
This is mere sign"-one of thou.

most enlarged system of bribery and
corruption is now sustaining the cause
