~ The news from Kansas this week of occurring
events and the testimony taken before the nvestga
ting committee are worthy of attention. 1t will be
recollected the Kansas bill was passed to establish
Squattcr Sovereignty, and vindicate The right of the
people of the territories to seif-governmont By look
ing at this testimony it will be seen that this prin-
clpie has been ignored secuted snd crushed from the
very start The first legislature that which had in
measure all the subsequent legislation of the terri
tory in its hands it is made manifest was chosen by
marauding Missourians. And these very laws which
the real squaers of the territory being ac-
cused of high treason and arrested and thrown into
prison, for not observing, the laws which these
marauders enacted. Surely intelligent man can
doubt with the facts before him. that it is the deter
mined purpose of those in power to force slavery in
to Kansas, if necessary in violation Of every law and
principle of good government, and indeed over the
dead body of every honest squatter in tie territory
if objection or resistance is made This is the enter
tanment to which the nation is now invited and to
endorse uphold and sustain this destructive lawless
ness the democracy propose to devote themselves i'll
the coming Presidential campaign. Their success
cannot fall in eliminating in the destruction of our
republican institutio:s and no man who is truly a
republican will hesitate to array himself egains such
men and influences.

Land Grants.

Congress has recently passed an act granting an
immense quantity of public lands in Iowa, for the
construction of railroads in that state In consequence
of this the several land offices in Iowa have been
closed until these several railroad companies have
made their selections.
Bills are before Congress making grants 10 sever
al other states, and among the rest to Wisconsin,
which it is supposed will without doubt become
laws
To give the lands TO actual settlers in limited guam
titles would be infinitely the best which could
be made of them, but as Congress will not do that
perhaps the next best thing is to give them in aid of
the construction of railroads.
These grants will of course shut the lands out of
market for Il season, and retard settlement. Anoth
er effect viii be TO seriously impair the benefits of
the military bounty land acts to those who have not
already drawn and disposed of their warrants. That
warrants will suddenly go down TO 8 low figure can

Harbor & River Appropriations

1t will be seen by our Washington news in
another column, that President Pierce has
vetoed the bills lately passed by Congress, max
ing appropriations for the improvement Of the
Mississippi River and the ST. Clair Flats. We
venturcd the opinion a week or two since that
such would be the fate of bills before Congress
for the Improvement of our Rivers and Harbors
This opinion was founded upon the experience
we had already had of Mr. Pierce's action on all
matters tending to the advancement and i'm
provement of the country at large, as well as
upon the language used by the opponents of
these appropriations, in their discussion before
their passage. 1t is evident that the fate of
these bills, is specimen of what all the other
bills of similar character now before Congress
will meet at the hands of our Democratic Presi-
dent as they were the least Objectionable to his
peculiar views, of any that hare been proposed
The st. Clair flats the boundary between this
country and the British Provinces, and being
the key TO the commerce Of the whole North
West, could certainly be called national, if any
improvement not on the Atlantic coast could be.
It's importance cannot be doubted and the
amount proposed to be appropriated was small
indeed, in comparison with appropriations that
have been granted to localities that were for
tunatey little farther towards sunrise.
The fact is, Mr.. Pierce has got the fallacy in
to his head that no part of the country except
that washed by the Atlantic, has any claim to
the care or attention of Congress, and it is i'm
possible to get it out The Great West and
Northwest have no claim upon Uncle Sam, in
his view, and we must be left to our own saliva
vation and even that with our hands tied be-
hind us. :
