GREAT LAND SALES NOVA. +,
"a House Of representatives, Feb. II iS40.
vafiors circumstances combiping 10 produce
an impression upon tha pubIiOnind that the
sales ordered hy the President ihShO'rcEiiorY
of Iowa on the OH of March next would bo
postponed, have deemed il my duty to take
this method ofcOrrectng that iInpressi"n, which
10 done at lthe earliest moment that the deci.
sion upon the application fora postponement
will permit.
The sales will not be postponed, aud there
fore some of the best lands in the Territory Of
Iowa will be offered for sale on the 9Th Of
March, l840. Capitalists who wish to make safe
and profitable investments, either by loaning
their money to the actual settler and taking val
liable land and improvements in security, or
by purchasing lands at the public sale, can then
have an opportunity. #.- ~'
Believing there are many capitalists disposed
10 he at the sales with their money, 10 accom-.
modate settlers and themselves particularly by
getting from fifteen To twenty FIVE per cent, in
terest to those particularly this communication
is addressed.

EXTRACT, From A Speech delivered by
Mr.. Watterson, Of Tennessee.
In the House of Representatives, January l6,
ls4O. t N'..s a"5 sa. H.'.
On the subject of Abolition petitions.
Mr.. Speaker, by refusing to receive these Pc
titions after we have heard their contents stated
by the introducer, or by laying them On the ta-
bic without any further action upon them, we
avoid debate on this distraciing Subject Sir,
every debate here may klndle the fires ofinsur-
rection in the South. Let me ask, how Gun de-
bate be prevented, if we receive, and refer them
TO committed The moment that referencels
made, a member rises in his place, holds up re
solution in his hand, and demands its adoption.
What is il? 1t is resolution instructng the
committee TO report in favor Of the payers Of
the Abolilionsis. lie has the floor, no other
member can get il in order to move the previous
question, and he proceeds for hours, if not days
10 plead the cause of these inCendiares. Eve
~ word he utters, through the secret agency Of
the Abotioniss, finds its way to the ears Of the
slave population Of The South, and may excite
them to rebellion and massacre. But sir, sup.
pose you succeed in applying the previous ques
tiun at the close of this speech, cannot another
member, ,and another, and so on, until the whole
number is exhausted, bring forward resolutions
of the like kind, and in that way keep up an ev
erlasting disturbance out of il? This must be
The inevitable result of receiving and referring
such papers to a committee. Unlike my two
colleagues, Messrs. Gentry and Bel, ] can
never consent 10 such reception and reference.
Ii must lead 10 ntermnable discussion, and dis
cusslon here, fear, will lead to the most dire
fu consequences. -..
