The OREGON QUEsr1oN.-We imagine
tha; leading Senators will not raise dis
putatlon as to whether the late foreign news
is " on the whole pacific or < decidedly
the reverse" There can be no longer
a doubt as to the necessity of immediate
preparations for the worst possible contin-
gency. The National rights must now be
maintained or surrendered. 1t will be lit
tie less than treason longer to dwell on
the horrors of war, or the unprepared state
of the country. If the navy is weak and
inefficient, it can be rendered strong and
effective in a short time and if we have
no army, the Druteriet for invincibe legions
is abundant With the stronges: govern
ment on earth, the most devoted and patri-
otto population, boundless resources, and a
good cause, the United States has nothing
10 fear from any one, or all, of the robber ma
tions of the old world. Ifthe truly Amerl-
can policy of the Presidents message is re-
soutely maintained by the Congress, no
thing can check the onward progress of
our country and the resistance Of British
force will be but the signal for the expuI-
sion of that piratical power from the Anne
rican continent.

The Land Sales Presumption Claimants

A correspondent under date of Charles
ton, Miss, April 8th, writes to US as follows:
"There is great alarm in all this part
of the State, and especially in the coun-
ties lying in the valley Of the Mississippi,
among the settlers on the public lands, for
fear they will not be able to get money 10
pay out their lands (pre-emption lands)
before the puplic sales. Why could the
President not have given six months, as
was done formerly, so as to give the peo-
pie little time to raise the means to save
their homes? Could they have made this
crop, they could easily have saved a home
for their families. If the sales come on
at the time they are advertised, hundreds
will be driven from our State TO Texas
and Arkansas, who would have had COM
Portable places in Mississippi, could they
have had little notice, that they would
be called on for payment! What were
our representatives about?"
We publish the foregoing extract, in
order to direct the attention of our mem
bers of Congress, to the important matter
to which it relates. Surely the sales can
be postponed until the fall. The reasons
for such postponement are two fold: lst
that the worthy and Industrious pre-emp'
ton claimant may have time to secure
his home; and secondly, that all the
lands when sold, may bring better price
The spring aud summer seasons are the
most difficult with the planter TO obtain
money. In the fall, he realizes mean:
from his crop. The fall is The season, too
when emigration pours into the country
When all the facts are considered, we
cannot doubt that the suggested postpone
ment will meet The sanction OF the Presi
dent. NississipPian.

bring news from Cracow up tn 9th ult. ::
The events passing in Poland appear to
have assumed a serious character, which
is not disguised by the principal organs
either of the Prussian or Austrian govern
ments. The city of Cracow, the capital
of Poland under IFS former kings, the de-.
scendants of the Jagellons, had, according
to those journals, been the seat of new
government, emitting itself the " Provi-
sional government of the Polish nation"
1t was on the 22d ultimo, the day on which
the Austrian troops and the Senate eva.
cuated the town, that the new power had
constituted and installed itself in the old
mansion known by the name of the Kris
tofory, and with which the dearest associ-
atoms of the Poles are connected. The
new government, Immediately upon its in,
stalment, published a manifesto to the Po.
lsh nation, (Which we suboin,) in which
it dwells upon the sufierngs of the Poles,
aud calls upon the people to rise en- masSt
| throughout the whole of ancient Poland
On the 23d, it issued a decree forbiddinq
under pain of death, all the attempt,
against private and public property, anC
declaring at the same time, that any per.
sons who should establish clubs or assoc i
ations, without being authorized by the go
vernment to Go So, should be declared al
traitors to their country.

To the Polish Nation.-Poles! The hou
of insurrecton has struck! The who'll
of mutilated Poland rises and become
great. Already have our brothers of III
Grand Duchy of Posen, Russian PoIan
and Lithuiania risen, and are fighting il
Russia against the eRemy. They ar
fighting for the most sacred rights, O
which they have been deprived by lorc
and fraud. The flower of our youth ar
languishing in dungeons; our ancestor
whose councils sustain US, are treated wit
contempt; the clergy are deprived of a
