Is Union of December II
LAND sPECULATIoNs.--W have received n let
ter from highly respectable democrat in NViscoD-
sin. ntima,ing that the settlers who have visited
some OF the land offices IN that Territory with
land warrants, to make purchases have been
forced by the officers to give them sha re in the
matter, before entries could be made. | f the
statements sent to DO correct. there has been n
course of conduct pursued, calling for the atten-
ton of the General Land Office at once Manv
OF the settlers ignorant of the mode of ira $
acting business. and should receive the desired in
formation without fee or reward. h is intmated
10 US that the practice TO which we refer has not
been confined to a few officers in one Territory.
but has obtained more generally than has been
supposed. We have heard complaints from
Missouri, this part of Illinois. and cannot sa Y
whether there be few or many elsewhere who
have avaIled themselves OF tholr position to en-
gage in such sPecuIaIions If, however there be
only one land officer in the country who has been
buying up warrants, and sell them for cold to
the actual settlers, making thereon. as is charged
in one instance, seven hundred and fifty dollars in
one day, it is the duty of the government to put
stop to the business. When a settler brings
the gold to pay for his quarter section he should
not be annoyed into buying Of the officer war
rant, nor should the settler who brings a warrant
be required TO fee the officer to accomplish his
lawful object.
We presume the Information was sent here for
publication. because il would thus be more gene
rally known. As Congress is now in session. il
can easily remedy any defect In the law, if there
be any /; the Commissioner can issue instruc-
tionS 10 stop the business. The case in Wiscon-
sin, to which our correspondent refers, certainly
demands some notice, and we hope is the only
one. We know that the Comm Issioner will cut u D
such transactions root and branch, as sOOa as he
IS Informed OF them fer, under democratic ad-
mnIs;rauoD, no wrong, when detected, should
long go unredressed. The policy of our party
has been, and is to encourage and protect the ac-
tua settler, and not TO expose him the eXtortion
Of any one. Any act OF in justice will be proper
ly rekubed by making it known at Washington
As the Secretary OF the Treasury has already
taken the matter IN hand, and applied the rene
dy for the evil complained of, deem it only ne
Treasury and Land Office circulars, which it is
presumed will at once put an end to the illegal
practices complained of,

Dear Sir When | wrote you on the 9Th uit.,

to the subject But the conduct of that high iunc-
tionary, being second time marked with such Il

that feel impelled 10 pay tribute to such worth.
So A Daniel has come to Judgment" cham
pion has sprung up TO defend the Commanding
Officer. Justita'' enters the lists, lest an GER
roneous impression might be produced by my
communication. Well, in what way has he cleared
away the mist He even admits that his friend,
the Commanding Officer, is an AbofHi0nist, tho
like MANY other of the same stripe his principles
are slowly wearing of, by discovering the con-
renience of holding slaves whilst he lives IN the

The negro was tried, found guilty, and received

Just before the application of the penalty. the
Frlncipai Chief, Gen. Mclntosh, made the follow

/ Treaty with Mexico.

We have Information which leaves little doubt
~ our mind, that Mr.. Trist has made an arrange
ment for peace with the Mexican Government.-
Whether IS in the shape of formal treaty, or only
an exchange of diplomatic notes. we are unable
to say; but the documents in whatever form they
nav be, will come by the next arrival, if they
have not already been received BY the British
sloop of war Daring, Captain Peel, which ar
rived few days since from Vera Cruz.
This vessel got under way al an hours notice,
to convey important dispatches TO the British Mi
nisier at Washington, and it is probable Mr..
TrRts communications TO his Government, were
forwarded in that mode from the City of Mexico.
We would hardly suppose, after his powers
were Withdrawn, and he ordered to return home.
that Mr.. Trsl would enter into regular formal
treaty. which would in no wise, be binding upon
our Governments but still, We have gooG reasons
for believing that terms of peace have been re-
ducod to writing, and accedcd 10, by the present
men, IN actual or nominal power. at Queretaro.
A short time will decide all doubts. on the sub
iect, and we most sincerely hope, as we believe,
lba. our information, on the subject, is correct.
