Land Sales.

AS is well known to the Advertiser
readers, we have ever been opposed to
the public lands being brought to sale for
at least two years to come. We have
advocated this from principle; because we
were convinced that the best interests of
Nebraska would thus be served; because
we believed it to be the wish of the hon
est squatters who first made the settle
ments in this Territory. We have always
thought and yet think that to bring on
sales thus early is nothing short of tramp
ling under foot the rights of those who
had the courage to follow the retiring
footsteps of the savage, and with brave
hearts, stout arms and the implements of
husbandry, carve out new homes in. the
western wilds, for themselves and their
children. Those pioneers have Just
now began to make the trough places
smooth ;" just getting their homes to as
sumo some degree of comfort content
ment and happiness are just beginning to
peep out from beneath the ~ponderous
weight of inconvenience, deprivations
and hardships incident to the settlement
of new countries. To have sales now
brought on; to see our lands pass into the
hands of eastern capitalists, who have nc
interest in common with us; nothing in
view but the almighty dollar" is crush.
ing the last vestige of hope from the
heart Of the toiling squatter.
We are ready now as before to admit
that there are arguments in favor ofland
sales at present, which look we'll at first
glance; yet they all terminate in "making
the rich richer and the poor poorer" we
honestly believe.
We have nothing inview but the future
interests of Nebraska in taking the posi-.
ZION we do upon this question, and here
say to any gentleman whose views differ
from ours that our columns are open tc
him.
We are glad to know that the people
who are directly interested in this matter
are moving ; r holding meetings al
over the country; circulating petitions
and will send on some one or more per
sons to confer with the President. 1t i.
possible a postponement of sales may ye
be effected. We hope so.
