SALE OF THE DELAWARE LANDS.

We are indebted TO friend who recently spent some
days Fort Leavenworh for incidents attending
the sale of the Delaware lands last week 1t that
there was immense crowd there consisting of specua
tors and preemptioners but that serious difficulty

vious to the sale and each township had completed
ganization countract the speeaors who had ocked
Leayenworh in great numbers On the morning of the
18th 1000 squaters mustered at the fort and,
ing to that "by bidding" would be offered there
was good deal of subdued excitement but thorough
determination to prevent the purchase of claims over
the heads of the squatters The sale commenced at the
seventh township fractions OF which open to
competition and brought 81 TO- At this time the crowd
became somewhat restless when Mr. n Eddy the govern
ment commissioner forward and having obtained
hearing stated in substance that he spoke by author

the squater who had improved the land by the labor Of
bis hands should have preference to bis claim at the
praised value At this point the crowd cheered vehe

the highest price" The composing the township
sale stood round the door from which the sections

hardy enough to offer bid on the claims which were
sold rapidly at 81 30 to 81 SIS The sale was
adjourned after the seventh township had been about
ons-half sold. On Tuesday the sale continued,
and part Of the eighth township disposed Of Some
difficulties arose between the squatters "rivaH and
Jumped claims bat nothing involving loss Of life The
fever among the spectators by being prevented
from bidding has given large prices to the squatters who
felt disposed sell their claims One man, living
twenty miles out asked 900 for his claim and gen

from town. for 00o From these two items average
may be inferred.

after the claims are secured there may and doubtless will
be some indiv feuds.

HON. JOHN r. THOMSON.


We happy perceive the general feeling which pre-
walls among the democrats OF New Jersey In favor Of the
reelection the United States Senate Of this distinguish
ed gentleman His services in the Senate bis fidelity
democrat his elevated character and his rreproachabe de-
pertinent have won for him most enyiable position
and we are sure the democrats Of New Jersey viii al
low no ordinary consideration to interfere with his
election The opposton-the black republicans espe.
ciaIy-owe him nothing, and would, therefore, be ex-
ceedngly gratfed he could be defeated. He has been
their seadst opponent from the beginning and for being
the great principle Of popular sovereignty In the dark
days of the excitement growing out Of the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise hung in etgy by these eonser-
Of law and order but in proportion as they have
assaulted them his political friends have stood by him. We
feel that only repeating the sentiment OF the democ
racy OF Pennsylvania when express the wish that he
may be chosen for six years to the position in which
he has proved himself be 80 faithful democrat and so
efficient representative. The last effort which John
Thomson made in the Senate in defence OF an emil
nent Jerseyman Commodore Stockton and in that defence
he exhibited great eoquence and ability Every consider
alton pleads in his favor and confidently hope not in
vain.

TIE TRIBUEE's CLAIM ON DEMOCRATIC POST
MASTERS.

The New York Tribune in its attempt to claim the hoa
of martyrdom publishes article from the Worcester
Republican of considerable length from which extract
the following: r .
"But lately the Albany Argus goes step further and in
sists that only must not help circulate the
Tribune Times &c, but that they mast aid in extending
the circulation of democratic W papers In other words
slavery papers and at the time far as may be-
press the circulation of republican papers"
Neither the Tribune its satellites can mystify this
matter and really obliged to them for dwelling
upon it and giving circulation even in perverted FORM
to our views What have said and what we repeat is
simply this Democratic posmasters should do their whole
duty by extending to all papers of every creed all the fla
ctes of tho Post Office Department for circulation. This
DONE If they engage outside of their official duties
in promoting the circulation Of newspapers it is entirely
rghtindeed it is duty to their political principles and
their party friendsthat they should exert themselves in
behalf of democratic newspapers rather than republican
ones postmaster who should busy himself in getting
up clubs for the New York Tribune any partisan sheet
of that school, would thus furnish very satisfactory evil
dence that he had no sympahies with the democratic
party and claims to honor emolumen at its hands
We repudiate altogether the Tribune assumption that it
is the duty of postmastes to get ap clubs for that paper
in any favor it beyond extending to it any ad
vantage which the mail service legumately affords.
Their political duties are due democratic, to
publican journals; and they should not be deferred from
exercising them by the pretensons of the opposition
Posmasers neither deprived of their political rights
nor absolved from their political duties because they hold
official stations but the contrary both exist in greater
force from that circumstance Let the Tribune and kindred
prints howl but let them the less do their duty in
their official stations and to their political principles and
friends

These alliances are not the work Of chance and they
be the result of the deep sympathy which community
Of faith inspires Should these conjecures be correct

the Protestant princes and their frequent alliances with the
imperial family Of Russia important fact which cannot
