TIE ALLEN LAND CLAIM.


TIE ALLEN LAND CLAIM. !.
We refer our readers to the proceed
lngs 10 this paper of meeting held al
ihs Court House, on SATURDAY evening
last, fora history ofthis claim of John
w. Allen, Of Cleveland, 10 Is 900 acres,
or more, of'alulble land, in this section
The hlndrancc TO the improvement ol
this part of the country has been that
these very lands we're not in market,
land purchasers, who desired farms near
The county seat, were forced 10 go back
a distance hom the canal or town, aud
many chose TO look elsewhere, who. il
these lands could have been bought,
would have Settled here. Now should
Allen De suffered TO make selections OF the
number OF acres claimed by him, those
nearest this place, and those most valu-
able, would be selected; indeed, we hear
that the selection has already been made
BY his acent, r ley. Should Alien
become proprietor 10 these 10 these 49,.
600 acres, known as the 'dispu,ed lands, ,
he would hold them for advalc ced prices
and hence fetard the growth OF our town
and township. We do not know that
objection is made TO his receiving bis
commission ou, of the proceeds of sales; !;
but good deal Of feeling exists here
against the allowance Of this monsifous
chain toa large portion Of the land Of
our township. 1t is desired that these
lands should speedily be offered for sale,-
as many purchasers, who would improve,
have been fof some time holding on for
tracts Of these very lands. The interests
Of our town demand that these lands
should be sold and cultivated, which will
rot soon be the case if title is confirmed
In Allen. We trust that bur State off,
GERS will see somewhat 10 our interests
in this matter, which clearly are iden-
tical with those of the State.
The meeting on Saturday, with the
publication Of the report, will awaken an
interest here in this subject. Our peo-
pie, ifthey do not wish the impression TO
get abroad that this is but Of small mo-
meht to them, must exert themselves,
and prevent the fastening upon this
region Landlord of $4,000, or, as
some say, $4,000 acres, who will
indirectly grow in wealth off of their labor
for every improvement made in the vic.
Unity oil the Allen lands adds likewise to
their value. We say TO all, read; exa-
mine for yourselves.--Defance Democrat.
CATHOLICISM AID SLAvERY.--The
Catholic Telegraph copies an editorial
from some other paper Of that cenomina-
ton, which asserts that while 660,563
slaves are owned by the various PIotes-
tant sec,s, not a Catholic Priest, from
The shores Of the St. Lawrence to the
mouth Of The Mississippi owns single
slave. This 1t asserts 10 contradict the
assertion SO frequently made that Catho-
Iivi,m irus ever been The pureul of slavery
and is ever identified with ihraldom. II
says that "lhe only vigorous
md potential antagonist of American
slavery in the States is The Catholic
Religion" This sect seems TO have little
ear of the South! This article calls
slavery ''a damning fact" an "airociuos
crimes" &c. The following is the table
which the Telegraph copies: !
