Pursuant to the Instructions of the secreta- " of the interior, public notice is hereby given, that, in order to bring to close the business under the act of Congress, approved Septem- Der 20, 1850, entitled "An act to enable the State of Arkansas, and other States, to reclaim the Swamp Lands within their limits," and at the same time afford to parties who claim that portions ot the lands selected under said law are dry and lit for cultivation, an opportu- nlty to introduce evidence all lands so selected, to the approval whereof no objection be made within SIX months from the date hereof. will be certlhed and patented to the States.
 Such obJectlons as are contemplated by the above must be made under oath, and filed with the Register and Receiver of the proper land office for transmission to the general land office. The necessary forms for afidayids are in the hands of said officers

Gov. Morehead on Know Moth
 ingism.

Below, we publish the concluding portion oi the message of CHARLEs s. MoREHEAD, the newly elected Know Nothing Governor o1 Kentucky. It will be seeep that, notwithstand- ing, his high eulogy of the American party Gov. MoREHEAD admits that ".feN spirit Q, .faaaticism hos done its aoorA'' ia that party. He not only makes this admission, but goes further and admits the incompetency ofthe Americans to save the country. He calls upon "the na- tional men of all parties" to unite against the enemies of the Union.
 It will sound strange in the ears of democrats to hear Know Nothing, who claims to have arisen upon the ruins of the democratic and whig parties, calling upon those parties, at least the national men of them, to "save the coun- try from the ruthless grasp of the enemies of the Union ,'' Yet such call we hear How humliating it must be to Know Nothing pridel Read Gov. MoREHEAD's message and see. The following is the passage we refer to:
 "The existence of mere geographical parties is the first great step to disunon. To prevent that was willing to unite with party whose principles were sufficiently broad and compre- hensive and patriotic to cntitle itself to the name of American. The great and leading and fundamental article of the political creed of this organization was undying devotion to the Union of the States, and every other prin- ciple it held was but subsidiary to this. The perpetnity of this mighty republic with all its countless blessings through generations which are to follow, was its end and aim. The same fell spirit of fanaticism which has produced schisms in other parties, has done its work here also. The crisis of our country's fate, though impending, is not yet come, and trust that the time is far, very far distant when the section to which we belong, shall feel compelled in sor- row and in anguish to calculate the value of the Union. To avert crisis 80 dreadful can- not doubt that the national men of all parties. however discordant may be their opinions on other points, will finally unite, and by their firm, determined, and patriotic action, save the country from the ruthless grasp of the enemies of the Union.
 January l, 1856. C.S. MOREHEAD."

Presidents M essa ge.

The following notice of the message by the South West Independent, contrasts strongly with the partizan condemnation of it by the Gazette. All of Pierces previous messages, gant manner; but the present one, which is ad- mitted on all hands to be his best, if not the very best since the days of Washington and Jefferson, that paper denounces. The Ga zette's opinion on any matter is worthless, from the fact that it is always warped and prompted by partizan feelings. Being Know Nothing, it sees nothing to approve where one year ago it saw an abundance. The following is from the South West Independent, professedly a neu:::l naper:
 "g'o our minL the most important feature of the document is the pro-savery ground taken by the President. He follows closely in the footsteps of Daniel Webster in his great speech of 1850, and, like the great statesman. will doubtless receive the btterest anathemas of aboitionism.
 We recommend the close perusal of the mes sage to all our people. We hope aN parties of the Stote,-eUe11 the most unrelenting enemies of the administration CU accord full need to the President for voluntarily sePping forth ID defence ofom- rights. We say voluntarily, for through motives of policy he might have 'pretermitted' the question, and avoided defining his position, and thereby left himself comparatively un- committed for the next general election.'

The New York Soft Shells.

All that has been said by the Southern Know Nothlngs against the democratic party at the North, has been on account of the free soil pro- chvities of the Soft Shells of New York. Be- low we give the telegraphic report of their pro- ceedings. It will be seen that their platform is thoroughly national. They have even adop- ted the platform that the Southern men in Con- gress now stand upon.
 We challenge the Gazette, and defy it, to pro- duce the platform of single Know Nothing Council in a Northern State, that is half so true to the South as the Soft Shell Democratic plat form. Will it, can it do it? We shall see.
 The following is the telegraphc report re- ferred to:
 SYRACUSE, NEW YORK, January 1.-The Soft Shell Democratic Convention is in session here. Slavery agitation is deprecated; the prn- ciples of the Kansas N ebraska bill are endors ed; they have also endorsed the resolutions adopted in the democratic caucus of Congress- men, at Washington, touching the bill; reso- lution expressing regret at the death of the whig party, was adopted.

 MR. EDITOR We wish you would publish our resignation from any connection or inter- course with the so-called Know Knothing or American party. About twelve months since. we were, by misrepresentation, induced to ioin them. We were told that it was republican throughout, and that it would nos interfere with our politics, and that we would be as free as we ever were; but after we had joined them. we found it to be mistake-we found it notto be republican,, or any thing else that was good. We believe it to be contrary to the constitution and civil laws of our country, and dangerous to the Union, and, in fact, contrary to every thing that is good in society. We, therefore, believe 1t to be duty we owe to ourselves, and our friends and the public, to have our withdrawals published.
 Wequt the order about seven or eight months ago, and have had no intercourse with them since. We are true democrats, and have walked in the ranks with them from our childhood. and we have always been true to that party and never intend to be compelled to vote for the;s 1st, 2d or Sd degree men at all; but we intend to vote the true republican democratic vote, which has brought our glorious republic to its present splendor and prosperity; and we henceforth and forever say to the public that we have not nor will not have any connection with the dark-lantern midnight party; but will march in the ranks of the old democratic party.
 We are, respectfully, yours, etc,

ing party. John Minor Botts, the leading Know Nothing of Virginia, said, in letter to the Kent pcky Know Nothngs, that the order south ought to "ignore," "pretermit entirely the wholequestion of slavery, so that the north ern members could unite with them. He said for one he was preparea to sac,Itice EVERY THING and ANY HING tor the success of the American party!
 When southern Know Nothings out of Con- gress talk about ignoring the slavery question, and southern Know Nothings in Congress vote for such man as Fuller, it is high time for the southern people to drop Know Nothingism and its leaders and its doctrines
 The Know Nothing order is no place for s southern man.

Know Nottingham Exposed.

We have all heard much that the democrats in Congress are to blame for the failure to elect speaker. It has been echoed and re-echoed over the and that the platform adopted by the democrats in caucus, denouncing tie Ame,i- cum party" has prevented the South Ameri- cans'' from voting for Mr. RICHARDSON. To test the sincerity of this cry, and to give the Know Nothings an opportunity to vote for Mr. RICHARDSON for speaker, Mr. SEWARD, demo- c,at, offered the following:
 "Whereas, 1t is apparent, upder the existing differences of opinion in this House, that no or ganization thereof can be effected without some effort to unite all that agree on the doctrine of non-interventlon, as asserted in the Kansas and Nebraska act, viz: that the people of the terri tories shall be left perfectly free to regulate their own domestic policy; and whereas, it is indis- pensable, to effect organization, that all diff l ferences of opinion on other questions should be postponed, without compromise or conces- sion on the part of any member voting for this resolution
 Be t resolued, That WILLIAM A. RICHARD SON be chosen speaker of the House of Repre- sentatves, for the Thirty Fourth Congress-
 This was offered to test the willingness of the southern Know Nothngs to vote for Mir RICH ARDsoN upon the single question of Nemaska As was expected, the cry against the democra- tic caucus was hollow, for even on the above platform, presented by Mir. SEWARD the Know Nothngs South, would not vote for MT. RICH ARDsoN. HUMPHREY MARSHALL the leader of the Southern Know Nothings Cor as MT. COBB calls them, the South Ansericans) attacked Mir SEwARDs proposition, as liberal as it was. with all of his force and vigor. The result was, it proved a failure.
 The south Americans" can never again re- proach the democrats for not showing dispo- sition to organize. The democrats have now done all in their power. They have shown every disposition to be liberal-shown a will llngneSs even to throw aside, for the time be- ing, every other question, and organize the House upon the doctrine of nora-interueation as asserted in Me Kansas- NeLraskn act:" upon which the Southern Know Nothings proposed to stand with the democrats. And how were they met? By positive refusal on the part of the Know Nothings to organize on that ground. So let it be. The democrats have now made every concession in their power. It is the Know Nothngs from the Southern States, upon whose shoulders the responsibility rests ofkeep- ing the country so long without Congress, and, that too, at all expense to the government of over $5 GOO day. This, the last act of their brief authority" will finish them forever- Never again will they be trusted by the Amer- can people-never again will they possess the power to disturb and disorganize the govern ment. It is deeply to be lamented that they possess that power no,c, at this critical juncture in our affairs, domestic and foreign. What a lesson it is to the people, Never yet, no not a single tme has the democratic party been in d minority ID Congress, that the government was not involved in difficulties.

Cairo and Fulton Railroad-Its
 Piospects.

It was with more than ordinary interest and
 pleasure we made the acquaintance few days ago, of Hon. s. G. KITCHEN and H. H. BED7 FORD, esq, of Bloomfield, Missouri. These gentlemen are members of the board of con- soldated management of the two divisions of the Cairo and Fulton railroad, and were here to attend meeting of that board on the part of the Missouri company. From them we learned that, in southeast Missouri most cheering state .of things existed in regard to the road; that the citizens generally, and the counties, not heretofore having contributed any thing in the way of swamp and overfowed lands, had and would become stockholders. We also were gratified to meet Judge Cross, the firm and indefatigable friend of the enterprise from South Arkansas. He was here with us to at tend the meeting of the joint committee of the Missouri and Arkansas companies
 The board, we are fully justified in saying have taken the necessary steps to adjust and perfect the titles, not only to the large amount of valuable lands transferred to the Missouri
 
 embraced in the act of Congress, and at an ear ly day, upon these lands as basis of credit with the 25O GOO dollars of bonds issued to the company by the State of Missouri, will feel full ly justified in putting that entire division of the road under contract Indeed they contemplate doing so in the approaching summer months. Messrs. Kitchen & Bedford expressed the opin- ion that the means now under the control of the company were ample, under any thing like judcious management, to build two such roads as their division. The lands arising from the Congressional grant and the grant of the coun- ties, will amount to at least 6OO,OOO acres.
 We are also told that Scott county will no doubt contribute 5OOOO acres of her lands, and Ripley county 10000. Something, also, may be expected from New Madrid and in Mssis- sppi. Messrs. Kitchen and Bedford mentioned the name of one individual citizen of the latter county who would take S7O,OOO of stock.
 The Cairo and Fulton railroad is now upon a firm basis, and no one, who will take the trouble to examine its means and its merits, will doubt for moment of its success. The Cairo and Fulton company have done no humbugging. They have progressed slowly but steadily up to their present position. When they throw themselves upon the market for credit, they will at once meet with the confidence of all capitalists.

Now is our Time l!

We have question to ask the "junior' of the Gazette. As his "senior'' is absent, and he is left free to "speak his sentiments" we shall expect frank, categorical answer.
 Now tell us, MT. junior, ,oas pr. Borland ever member of the Baptist church? Tell us quickly and relieve us of our painful anxiety. Evil disposed persons, who no doubt desire to iniure our friends, the Baptists, have said he was. E it so? Say that he was not, and let us acquit the Baptists of the dark insinuation; or, if he was, say so, and let us defend them by telling how they turned him out.
 Speak, Mir. junior speak quickly; otherwise we shall think you are down on the Baptlsts as well as the Catholics.
