Lansing Intelligencer, in calling attention to
the sales of public lands to be held in this Ter
ritory, in Sept. says
| Gas the land advertised embraces much OF
that portion of Southern Minnesota which is
settled, it will be of great interest to all With
unexampled rapidity, the hardy emigrants
have claimed and cleared this beautiful coun-
try and holding it only by the insecure "claim
laws" they will be glad of this opportunity to
obtain legal title to their new homes Most.
if not all of them have desired that their lands
should come early into market. and we believe
that they will be ready with their gold, on the
day Ofsale.
! i've NAV look forward, also, to a large in
crease in the already immense immigration in
to the country, hen it is known that perfect
title can at once be procured to the lands.
Emigrants, generally, at this time, are not the
squattcrs of old times. They bring with them
the cash. to pay for their farms. and also to
stock and improve them well. We look for
great and good results to the country from
these sales.

of his Office. with practical knowledge of the
wants and interests of the first settlers in a new
country.

Commercial Advertiser thus concludes it's ac-
count Of the successful results of the expc,;tion
to Japan. The justice of these sentiments will
be universally conceded:
/ And how vastly superior. how much nobIcr.

the iayonet and the cannon. How much more
worthy OF The government Of the United States
Is such an expedition, with such results. than

imnlcmorially to the credit of Mr. FilImore's
