F hand laws may we be presumed to be the next best
authority after certified copy Of the act Itself In Mis-

missioner Of the General Land Office asking him iii there
exists any Congress by under which the lands in
Kanses Nebraska given either to native or foreign
born settlers"
rhe pqut sought to be made by the Mississippi know
nothipgs was that the administration had given the COM
mon lands therein 10 foreigners But the proof will be
found to be as well against the Tribune against these
To this query of Gov Brown, the Commissioner an
swered on the 9Th of the month There no law Of
Congress uuder which the public lands in the Territory OF
Kansas or Nebraska given away, either TO native or
foreign-born settlers"
Let the ayoung men, whom the traitors Of the Tribune
school would deceive remember that far from having
lands given them they cannot in al purchase lands
il Kansas with the usual facilities for the Commissioner
continuing, says:
THE Delaware Iowa and West tracts in the Territory
Of Kansas are not even ae presumption but to be
sold as trust lands for the benefit Of the Indians
1t may be they cannot even buy these trust lands for
the usual government minimum price
Northern papers readIy truth may many young
men good turn by undeceivng them.
