The SANDWICH IsLANDs.-So rapidly
is the native population diminishing, that
the probability is that by the end of the
next ten or fifteen years scarcely native
will be found on the islands. Indeed one
of the oldest resident physicians there has
expressed the opinion that this result will
be realized within the next five years.
Four-fifths of the population have disap-
peared since the first visit of Capt. Cook,
period OF seventy years, and about one
sixth of the remnant have died within the
last year. The missionaries estimate the
number of deaths during the past year at
about ten thousand, or more than one
tenth OF the whole population. A major,
ity of the infants born were among the
victims The present population of the
islands is shout eighty thousand.

Important to Dealers in Land Warrants
The following letter We copy from the
Union of Saturday last:


The following letter We copy from the
Union of Saturday last:
GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
| WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 1846.
| SIN: I have received your letter of.the
Sd instant, enclosing slip which you
state was cut from Wilson q Co.'S Week
| ly Despatch of the oath September last,
and from which the following is an ex-
| tract:
IF we understand the m after rightly,
the Land Office will not recognise blank
assignments of soldiers land warrants
The assignments, to be valid, must spec
ify the person to whom it is made at the
time it is made This in addition to the
usual form Of RECOGNISING and certifying
the identity of the person making the as
signment."
You ask, "Whether it is necessary, TO
render an assignment valil and receivable
at the Land Office, it should be filled up
| bv the original holder when sold hy him,
and so of each party through whose hands
it may pass before reaching the Land Of
fee for entry!"
AS the act of Congress renders all as
signments made and executed prior to
the issue of the warrant or certificate
null and void 1t IS naaterlaL, that the date
of the assignment and of the acknowl-
edgement should be filled up a0/sen m1dle,
in order to furnish evidence to this office
that the assignment aOaS IN fdct m0de
after the issuing Of the acargant The
mere leaving in the assignment of a blank,
for the name of the assignee to be after
wards inserted would not vitiate the as.
signment, where 1t is fair and regular in
all other respects; because the legal impll-
cation in such case is, that the assignor
has authorized the person for whose ben
| eft the assignment is made and delivered,
or purchasers under under him, to fill up
the blank by Inserting the name at an
assignee. The bona 1fo5e purchasers of
land warrants have i'll numerous GASES
acted on this assumption. and 1t would be
attended with serious inconvenience to
innocent purchasers now to change the
practice.
Before warrant thus assigned can be
| located, the name of the assignee must
be inserted; and it will be presumed that
it is done by the authority of the original
assignor and will be receivable accord
ingIe at the land Offices, unless fraud
shall be alleged and sustained.
Yours, very respectfully,
J. BUTTERFIELD, Com'r.

THE SOUTH RKBUKED BY THE ABoLI-
TIoNIsTs.-We copy from the Union of
the 7th inst. the following resolutions
which were recently passed by the Loco
foco State Convention of Massachusetts,,
and republished in the "soe organ" with
some Others Of Kindred significance:
"Resolved, That in the choice of a
President by the people since Massachu-
setts aud Virginia served upon the Fede-
raj and Democratic platforms. the Demo-
cratic candidate has succeeded by tile
union of the Democrats North and South;
and that the only exception to this has
been the regent election OF General lay
lor by the feud in New York, and the
bad faith Of the South"
If the people of Mississippi and Louis
lana vote for members of Congress favor
able to the Administration of Zachary
Taylor the southern Shareholder, the
Xantppes of the North will read them
another lecture For New York to have
voted for General Taylor was the result
merely of a feud of all unfortunate family
quarrel, to be composed and hushed up by
sweet words and soft concessions; but for
any part of the South to have so voted was
bad faith, a swindle. trick of the WOOL
growers But we copy from the Union one
more resolution, which will probably
make the people of the South a little pa
tient under the castigation of this peculiar
friend of the North. 1t is in these words:
"Rcsolved, That we are opposed to
slavery in every form and color, and in
favor of freedom and Free Soil WHEREBY
Err MAN LIVES THROUGHOUT GoDS HERI-
TAGE." 81
Ought not the people of the South feei
ashamed of themselves after this, for hav-
ing voted for southern stakeholder, when
the Locofocos OF Massachusetts are for
Free Soil throughout Gods inheritance"
The Union has told us many times that
the LocofOcos of the North were in favor
of leaving slavery in the several States to
the people of those States. If SO, the
Locofocos of MASSACHUSETTS, who go for
"Free Soil throughout Gods inheritauce,"
must regard their brethren of the South
as part of the Devils Inheritance.
