from being shaved too close. This sub

gushing the idea Of entering, and oftsrust-
ing 70 the honesty Of Spectators when the
settler cannot obtain money on fairSterms,
we consider extremely hazardous The
lheary dealers will probably have GER
tain rate Of interest established among
themselves on the occasion; would it5not
beweli then, for the settlers Of the Town-
ship atftheir general meeting TO appoint a
committee who shall ascertain what this

before the sales commence, so that there
may be concert of action among them on
this subject? Sffl.S
I We have extended this article too far
already, perhaps, but We feel disposed to
/ say one word more in relation to these
/ sales. We wish to see the rights Of the
/ settlers main,ained,l and maintained on
such principles as will rebound to the
credit Of Iowa. A great moral spectacle
| will be exhibited in this City during the
progress Of these sales. Thousands will
crowd our streets from all parts Of the
country whose only aim will be TO- secure
themselves homes to which they are en-
titled. This deserving class Of our COM
\ munity have beenby many unjustly look
ed upon as a lawless set of men, but if
they are true to themselves--if they come
with all their disputed claims amicably
settled in their Township meetings rim
the exercise Of mutual forbearance lie
will forever stand registered against those
who have dared bestow upon them this
appellation, and this infant Territory will
obtain a character for order and decorum,
which will secure for her an influence,
that in future generations will make the
, sons Of these very settlers glory in saying

of the Townships will probably be post

to those residing on such Townships, al
though il will be doing no more than JUS

are titus to.be reserved from sale.
