The Constitution.

A Few weeks ugo, we ~~sro told tina, -a''o
press Of tho Territory were in favor of the
adoption Of the Constitution-we now learn
from another source, that the Wings "base
their opposition" "cheAy upon the clause
which provides for the election Of the Judges
by the people," This is not the whole
ground Of our opposition to it solely and
supremely, there are other provisions more
obnoxious. This alone is sufficient. We
do not trouble ourselves to trim our sails to
the fashion Of any other craft. The Mis-.
souri, Republican is an able paper, and its
opinions are of value, but we did not come
to the Valley OF the Mississippi to get vac
cinnatcd for our VIII ig principles-they are
OF older date and we re confirmed before we
even saw a number Of that paper--thcy

in any climate, under our government
! Our opinions may or may not have value to
any pc rson else. This we do not stop to
canvass and decide-we write our own
thoughts in our own language, taking our

pied country back Of US. and not ungenial

Postponement of the Land sales.

POStpOHement OIL the Lana SaIcA"
The Sales proclaimed to come off at
the Fairfield and Du BUque Land OFF,
ces are Indefinitely postponed. From
all information we can derive we are
satisfied this al.erasionof arrangement is
of much importance to the occupants.
The Indian title has been extinguished

Since these sales were advertised 10

prlved themselves Of the necessities OF
life to husband their resources and be
able TO make their payment a. the re.
|quired time. Under these circumstan-
ces and with a great scarcity Of money
in the Territory the whole population
will be gratifed that this premature
movement has been reconsidered and
arrested.

The New Hampshire Constitution has a
provision similar to the one sought to be
incorporated into our own, prohibiting the
taking Of private property for the uses Of u
corpora lion without the consent Of the
owner. which has operated there as it must
elsewhere, as an insuperable bar to internal
ovements--fnding themselves far be.
hind their neighbors in rail road and other
facilities, they have hit upon this expedi-
emit to get back to the regions Of common
sense-Commissioners have been appointed
10 take possession ofreal estate needed for
corporate uses in the name Of the State, the
State then leases it to the chartered compa-
