internal and unmistakeable evidence in the body

AMERICAN MEEr1NG-A notice for an "Ameri-
can Meeting" will be found in our columns to-
day. We give it admission not because
we approve of their principles, but from courtesy
and desire to procure fair hearing for all par
ties. We believe the call originates in dislike
on the part of some Of the Americans" to be
turned over to the Abolitonists. However OBJ
jectionable some of the dogmas Of the "Ameri
can party" may be, they are not essentially sec
tional; on the contrary, they claim to be ma
tional party, and in this point of view we con-
slider their tenets to be infinitely less mischeivous
than those Of the Black Republicans.
We are glad Of two things-frst that the Ga
zette is becoming courteous-and second thatit
is willing to own that it considers the prescrip-
ton Of foreigners National We presume this
change Of feeling has been brought about through
the Blue Lodges of Missouri, of which the editor
may be member. We have seen for some
days past, that change was coming over the

swamp Lands
Much excitement exists in the Western and
other portions of this State on account of an
ehort on the part of certain parties, favored by
those high in Office, who are supposed to be
partnersi in the speculation, and favored by re-
cent order from the General Land Office, which
may or may not have been made for the bene-
fit of these persons to defraud actual occupants
who have made improvements, and cheat the
stateto which they have been granted, out of the
swamp lands We extract the following from
the Council Bluffs Chronotype:
The ball has been set in motion, by some one
or more individuals, who for the past year or
two, have labored with the department and ad
ministration at Washington, to rob the State of
the swamp lands situated within her borders,
and in 50 doing make homeless hundreds if not
thousands Of families, who will be robbed of the
only inch Of inheritance they have on Gods foot
stool. And this is done through influences
brought to bare at Washington, to crafty the
avarice of wealth, and by which one or two men
already made rich through government
are to add to their immense wealth, by taking
from hundreds ofpoor families their all We say
poor, because they have gone on to l6Oacres of
land with nothing but their hands, with the ex-
pectation Of being able to purchase the same
when it shall come into market. These men are
now living on their lands, and have made i'm
provements, some more and some less, and for
the greatest part, are persons who were unable
to pay down for government lands.
From appearances, selections have been made
for months, and some perhaps for a year, by those
who have been in the secret for it is we'll under
stood, that persons made applications for about
forty thousand acres of this land in the Western
portion of this State, before it was generally un-
derstood that the thing could be done, and such
proceedings have been unheard of, until the
present time.
The mode Of effecting this seizure of lands is
as follows: A claim is set up that the General
Government has been defrauded by the State
in the selection of lands not swamp or overflow
ed. Witnesses are brought to prove parcels in
the possession of the State, and in the occupancy
of actual settlers are not of this character If
they can bring such proof, under a recent order
they are enabled to enter the land, Improvements
and all at the Government price, and exclude
the occupant.
