Between South Carolina and Massachu-
sets the Union would seem to be in great
danger. They are great and mighty States,
compared to which all the balance sink into
utter insigni6cence. If the tariff 10 not ad-
justed to suit the peculiar views Of the
Hotspurs Of Carolina, notification is threat
ened; and if Congress should deem it pro-
per or expedient to introduce Texas or any
other district Of territory in which slavery
is tolerated into the Union as State, the
blusterers Of the Bay State, through their
newspaper organs, proclaim in glaring cap
itals that Massachusetts sscannot-- not
will not submit, SC. The Boston At
las, in commenting upon the prospect of the
annexation Of Texas, holds the following
language:
"We must be ready TO Acr--promptly,
fearlessly, efectually-when the time comes
il come it ever does. MASSACHU-
SETS CANNOT-SHE MUST NOT
SHE WILL NOT--SUBMIT TO THE
ANNEXATION OF TEXAS 70 THESE
UNITED STATES. Let this idea be
impressed firmly, indelibly, upon the pub
lie mind. This Union is Partnership Of
twenty-siy Staies. No new State can be
admitted, without the consent of all the old
States. MASSACHUSETTS is satisfied
with the Union as it stands. She intends
to abide by, adhere to and uphold, this I'm
ion, with her utmost ability and power
The grand galaxy Of the twenty-six Stars
is sufficiently effulgent to light her on, in
the path Of glory, and honor, and happi-
ness. She desires not a ray from the
"Lone Star"-but is willing to let that
Star shine alone" s.t'.
"By my troth, these are big words" If
Massachusetts, refuses her consent of course
Texas remains out Of the Union, even
though every other State should desire its
admission. Let the Republic Of the "Lone
Star" appoint an ambassador 10 the can
cisnt Commonwealth" If she desires to be
taken into the confederacy Of States, for in
this way only can she compass her wishes.
But seriously, can anything be more RI
diculous than for single State to indulge
in threats like the above? Massachusetts,,
no one doubts, should Texas be annexed,
will submit peaceably; but should she not
should she undertake to repeat the nulli-
fication game attempted BY South Carolina
under the administration of Gen. Jackson
let her beware. The Young Hickory
soon to be at the head Of affairs is legiti-
mate scion Of the Ola, and will as sedu-
lousy guard the integrity Of he Union and
enforce the due execution Of its laws, as
did the sage of the Hermitage in the case
Of his native State.
The scope Of the extracted article, it will
be seen, goes beyond Texas, and applies
with equal force to this Territory, now ap-
plying for admission as State. IF Mas
sachusetts, or any Of the old States objects,
Iowa, orsooth, cannot be admitted. The
generally received opinion has been that a
majority could admit State, and such has
been the repeated action Of Congress-; but
it is now discovered to be great error
massachusetts is satisfied with the Union
as il stands," composed Of s'twenty-six
States," and refuses to take another into
the partnership"

The President h. rescisded ~ procla.
nation ordering certain lands il .this. Ter.
ritery to 9 sdld Il the ssvsr,l Land oisees
Of FsirAeld and Dubuque during the pres.
ent and ensuing months, and al TIE sales
are indsiniieay postponed. The snnuncia-
ton Of this intelligence has even here,
where scarcel; any are directly interested,
beer received with the liveliest gratifica-
ton; but it is to the settlers upon the lands
enumerated in the proclamation moi one
in every Eve Of whom, we have been as
sured and treasured, were prepared TO
pay the purchase money upon their claims
that il will be most acceptable and heart
cheering.
The treaty under which most Of the lands
proclaimed for sale were acquired was ne
gotiated in the summer of 1912, and rati-
fed the winter following. In the spring
Of lS43-less than two years since-tl,e
Erst settlements were made; and since that
period, even up to the present writing,
new emigrants have been constantly and
regularly pouring into the country. II,
therefore, the sales were to take place next
month, as ordered, the oldest settlers would
have hadless than two years to earn the
wherewith to purchase their homesteads;
while to the very large number who locat-
ed their claims at later period, single
year, and in some cases even shorter
space, is all that would have been allowe3,
Under such circumstances much suffering
and great sacrifice must have ensued had
The sales not been postponed, particularly
as me previous custom of the government
had been Of such character as to leave no
probability Of 50 early sale. We believe
we do not misstate the facts when we say
that there are but few instances on record
Of wild Indian lands being offered for sale at
% early day after the acquisition Of the
title by the government; and most of such
as can be pointed to will be found to have
been the work Of necessity, to assist in ex-
tricating the treasury from threatened or
actual depletion. Far from any exigercy
Of this kind now existing, however, the
Secretary Of the Treasury reports an avail
able surplus Of revenue in the Treasury Of
about e'euen millions Of dollars. Neither
the wants Of the government nor the inter-
ests Of the settlers upon the lands requir-
ing tins sale, we again repeat the satisfac-
ton It gives US to be able to announce its
postponement. The people of the Terrific
~ could but lily bear at the present time the
withdrawal Of one to two hundred thousand
dollars from among them; and the effect 81
the order published below will Re again to
throw much Of this sum into general cir
culation.
The postponemcnt, il will be seen, is
inde6inie. OF course it is optional with
the President to say when the lands shall
be again offered; but we think move Il
the kind need not be anticipated for year,
at least.

tons forwarded to the Land Officers by the
Commissioner Of the General Land Office,
which has been forwarded US from WASH
