FOR THE MADisoNlAN.
THE REPEAL, OR THE SUSPENSION, OF
THE LAND BILL.

MR. EDITOR The message of the President
commencing partial repeal of the Land Distribution
bill, fills me with great joy. Originally, was most
highly grdt6ed by the passage Of the act llhoughL
and sill think that it was one demanded by the old
States, upon every sound principle of justice and
equity. But in the present exigencies of the Covers
men with to say the least, lettering credit an evil
dent inclination to a state Of depression poftng to
an absolute insolvency the Government, what could
be just and opportune than this direct rallyng
TO the main point at issue-the sustaining invloaie
the public cred2 Diversified as has been public
timent upon the suhject-srong has been the
feeling in favor of distribution, who, for moment,
can doubt the wisdom nay, the imperative necessity.
on the part Of The Administration Of staining every
nerve, of doing all in lis power to preserve inyiolate
the Government credit 2? In my mind this subject Is
Of rial Importance All other points Of policy shrink
into utter insignfcance in comparison with this
dinai object. The Executive has, as think done
well in akingihs noble stand, In opposition to his
former expressed views, with the prominent facts in
mind, that he originally urged the measure He
did it with qualifcations-Ep he has the mag
nanimity regardless of personal consequences, to
come out like an honest man, and propose aneasure
imperously demanded by the wants of the country.

THE SOUTHWESTERN FRONTIER

AS some apprehenslons have been expressed
of the Indians west of Arkansas and Missouri,
being excited to take part in the contest between
Mexico and Texas, and thereby bringing on hos
ttles among themselves, or violence upon the
Inhabitants Of that frontier, it is proper to state
that the President having determined to pre-
serve the neutral relations of the country with
entire good faith, and to af1Jrd all the needful
protection to those exposed 10 Indian ferocity
has directed the movement of 500 infantry and
OF nearly 400 Dragons to the vicinity of Fort
Towson on the Red river This re enforcement
to the troops already in that quarter, will place at
the disposal of General Taylor, commanding
the department, about 1000 men. He has been
instructed by every means in his power, TO pre-
vent the Indians from taking any part in the
contest and from crossing the boundary between
us and Texas on any pretext whatevcr and he
is especially charged 10 afford adequate protec-
ton and security to the inhabitants of the from
tiers. 1t is believed that the force under his
command will be ample for these purposes, con-
troled as they will be by an officer of acknow-
lodged ability, experience, and discretion.
