paper, called the Religious Telescope, is one of
such character rs cannot be dstribu ed in the
State Of Virginia. Nothing of an abolition
character can, under the laws Of this State, be
put in circulation. ] was sorry to learn, upon
inspection of your paper, that it contained vie-
lent abolition articles, such as ore in direct
violation of the laws of this State, which sub
jects the editors and circulators of all such
documents to imprisonment in the State Peni-
tentisry for not less than one nor more than
five years. II is made my duty under the law,
to inspect all such papers, and have the came

animation, to be one of the above character,

Nebraska-Mr. Manypenny, Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, has written a letter to Sens-
tor Atchison, on the subject Of Indian roserva-
tions in Nebraska. The official map of the In
dian reservations in Nebraska Territory shows
that the part of the Territory reserved to the
Indians is very small in proportion to the re-
mainder Vast tracts are free from incum-
brance, and are ready for occupation by colo
nists The st. Louis Evening Netos dissects
the letter of MIR. Manypenny, and exposes the
utter insuffciency of the reasons relied upon by
the opponents of this new Western State to
prevent its settlement. 1t says:
ave repeat it, the case is gained Nebraska
excepting the part bought of the Pawnees) is
OPEN TO SETTLEMENT. The treaties made with
the Indians prove it. The Commissioners let
ter, though striving to reach a contrary con-
clusion, proves it
awe have but one other word to add. We
have examined the Usage and Kansas treaties
They reserve no Indian privileges over the
coded and ungranted territory. We will give
these treaties tomorrow, and nail the enemies
Of Nebraska to the wall
"Mr Manypenny feels that he is wrong. He
is mot able to say that Nebraska is open for
settlement. But he will not say it is not for
if he says it is not open to settlement then it is
his duty to command that no entries be made
on the land That he dcre not do, for no law
can be found to sustain him"
