Graduation Lands,

The following extract is taken from a
letter written by Hon. L. M. KENSrT9,
Representative from the St. Louis District:
"CoMBAoK, Of Indiana, has introduced a
bill now before the Committee on Public
Lands, TO make the entries absolute in eve
ny case, whether made according TO law,
and since complying with instructions or
not, to the extent, think, os 800 acres.-
The Missouri delegation will all work hard
to get this, or something better, passed to
protect our constituents. agree with you
that it would be better to confirm all, rath-
err than let SO many deserving persons suf-
fer as will do so, under present instructions
Of the Commissioner Of the General Land
Office. Mr.. LrNDLEY is on the Committee
Of Public Lands, and is wide awake TO the
matter"

For "Thc Times"
The ''nigger" Hoax.


II is amusing 70 see what little mean sub
tcrfuges Anti-Americans will resort TO, in
their nnholy warfare against the Natives.
We were particularly edited not long since,
by the sapient logic of renegade turn-coat,
who was attempting to justify his desertion.
Among other things he said, "the Know
Nothings were opposed to the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise, per se." AS this was
denied by some one present, lie produced
the platform, and turning to the 18th sec
ton, read as follows: "as shown in re. open
ing sectional agitation, by the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise" This it will be
remembered is one of the instances cited by
the American Party of the "unwise policy
of the present administration" Now what
in fairness does that clause mean? -read the
whole section and see its general tenor
Can it be made 10 mean more or less than
simply, that the American party are opposed
''to the re-opening of sectional agitation?
In other words to "slavery agitation" The
latter part of the clause simply mentions an
instance in which this was done. The first
part declares opposition to q certain act, the
latter describes that thing as Shotcn by a
particular act! Precisely upon the same
principle they would now condemn an at
tempt to restore the Missouri Compromise
or ana other measure which would re- kindle
sectional animosily. The reason for this
policy is ut once evident 10 every thinking
man. Negro-m mania has well nigh wrecked
the Union already, and it is time TO stop it
IT'S better to bear the ills we have, thar
10 rush 10 others that we know not off,
Perchance TO dissolution. 1t is unquestionn,
bly, the duty OF every citizen under the pre-
sent circumstances, to allay as far as he can
} all public excitement upon this veXeC
question. Just in this spirit the American
party have avoided throughout their plat
form. even the mention OF the word ''Have
! ry." They endeavor to call off public at
tention to other things Of present and press
ing Importance, and upon which agrcut Ma
tioual and conservative party may rally, T.
the destruction of all ultra ianaticiSm. Will
guarding strictly The rights of all, by sub
scribing 10 the principle Of ''non-interler
ence by one State with the affairs Of another,
and "non-interfererce by Congress, wit
questions oppertoining solely to the indiyid
5 ual States" and '.by strict obedience to 81
5 existing laws" They have done so in
manner less calculated to stir up strife ant
contention. Let the 'tesiers" with Clark Z
their head prescribe at one time, any ma
= who would not adopt their rabid anti
: constitutional views, On the power of Cor
! gress--and at another be found in the rank
= of avowed aboli,ionists. The sooner sue
f cattle show the cloven foot, the better fc
t the country. They shall be assigned thei
: portion among hypOcritcs and rcnegades."

Black Republicanism Triumphant In
ST. Louis

We have not full particulars, but learn
that How, the candidate Of the Black Re.
publicans for Mayor, was elected last Mon
day. Black Republicanism is apower, and
has foot-hold in Missouri! We grieve
that we have TO record the fact-but fact
it is--a solemn fact--a startling fact J
The American party in st. Louis is de-
fsnted-defeated by combination of For
eigners, Black Republicans, old line Wings
Pierce democratic ofice-holders and Office
seekers, paupers, work, house convicts, and
boat hands, hired for the purpose, as they
hire themselves to unload boat
We have received no papers since the
election, but presume the entire ticket O
, the Black Republicans was elected. Blair
Brown, bernstein, Redpath s. Co., will BIZ
quite jubilant, and congratulations vii
pour in upon them from their friends ii
