The Land Salcs = Presumption Claimants

A correspondent under date of Charles.
ton, Miss, April 18th, writes to us as follows:
"There is great alarm in all this part
Of the Suite, and especially in the cotm.
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.empton lands)
before the puplje 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 honest Could they have made this
crop, they could easily have saved home
for their families. Ii tho snles come on
at the time they are advertised, hundreds
will DO 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
Tor such postponement are two fold; LIST,
that the worthy and Industrious pre.emp
tlon claimant may have time to secure
his home; aud 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 means
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.

to the 9th, one day later.

The correspondence, in which arbitra-
ton was declined by our government,
reached London by way Of Hayre.
The comment Of the papers on the Ore

Chronicle repeats that England will take
nothing short Of the Columbia river as the
boundary, and that the United States must
not presume on her supposed unwilling.

gives accounts of difficulties in Poland, |
with a prospect Of rebellion, arising from
scarcity of food and fodder The fears of
a famine in this country seem about to be
realized.
From India late adyiccs have been re.
ceiyed, and the British are likely to have
their hands full in their invasion and at
tempted subjugation Of the hardy Sikhs.
These people are the braYest and best
disciplined OF all the Indian troops, having
been trained principally by French ON
GERS. They have since their last battle
with the British, which proved so bloody
o the invaders, assembled the number of
10000 men and upwards of one hun.

/ The Northumberland brings London
papers to The 9Th ult., two days later
The comments of the papers on Oregon
matters are warlike. The Chronicle re-
peats that England will take nothing short
of the Columbia river as the boundary.
and that the United States must not pre-.
sumo upon her supposed unwiIingness to
engage in a war.
IL is apparent from this, combined with
the history of the past, and the present
acts Of the British Government, that il has
not, and never had, the intention of com
promising tho Northwestern boundary, on
the parallel of 49'. Four times has this
offered compromise been refused Hun
dreds of times has it been asserted By
high authority that it could never be &c.
cepted. England will never accede TO
any proposition for settlement on the
line of AGO until a contest for more is
hopeless; and we should understand the
character Of that government better than
to suppose tina; it would retreat without a
struggle. The power of England is based
upon public opinion, Her statesmen
have had the tact to persuade the world
that 27,000,000 of people, one half of
whom are on the point OF starvation, and
the greater part of the other half taxed 10
the extreme limit of endurance, with Co
lonies in stale of incipient revolution in
every quarter Of the earth, formed the
most powerful on the globe. The mo.
ment the falsehood OF this pretension is
discovered, Great Britain sinks into CON
tempt. She cannot sustain herself against
the general competition and the universal
hatred of mankind And her statesmen
wisely calculated that it would be better
TO risk for brief period the uncertain
chances Of war; than to grant to her for.
mer Colonies terms in their might which
she rejected when they were compare.
lively powerless.
Great Britain will not, cannot, dare not.
offer the parallel of Ago as a line Of com.
promise. 1t would preserve peace, per-
haps, with America, but il would be her
ruin in Europe, Asia, and Africa; for once
il was understood that she had succumbed
to distant and little understood Republic,
what would not be the exactons Of her
present pretended friends, but nutural, bit.
ter and interested enemies.
How foolish, then, is it for our rulers to
suppose the. peace can be secured by
claiming to the foiiy.ninth any more than
by insisting upon the fifly.lourth degree
OF lahlude! How idle the arguments
which they use without the hope of con.
yincing either hearers or readers, merely
for the purpose Of gaining time and regu.
