We do not Believe i'm il.

We have received a somewhat lengthy
and well written communication from a
very intelligent citizen Of this county,
signing himself ",7noHcr Of the Squqter
So~rereignS," which we decline publishing
because it savors too strongly Of insubor-
dination. We are not of the opinion that
1.-The best plan is to take the law into our
hands" There is nothing to be gained
by such a course. We have a peaceful
remedy-the ballot-box-for all our
wrongs. This is one of the admirable
and exclusive features of our system of
government. True, hat remedy avails
us nothing in the present instance, and
perhaps a knowledge of that fact has had
much to do in encouraging the nefarious
oppression.
We feel, with thousands Of others in
Nebraska, that the tyranny and oppres-
sion exercised over us needs to be. should
be, and will be rebuked. We believe
this can be done more etiectually, and
more in keeping with the enlightened age
in which we live, by submitting for the
time being and seeking remedy at the
hands of the representatives of the peo-
pie.
A restless spirit appears to be animat-
ing our people. They have endured de-
ception and misrule until it has become
intolerable. The honest people; those
who once reposed confidence in leaders
and rulers, have become FESTIVE and sus-
plcious. They scorn threats heralded by
demagogues who have no higher object
than groyeling self-agrandizement. The
great patriotic heart which is won to pull

QUEEN'S MESSAGE.
To Hc Honorable, the President of the

congratulate the President upon the sue
cessful completion of this great internal
tional work in which the Queen has taken
the deepest interest.
PRESIDENT BUCHANAN'S REPLY.
The President cordially reciprocates
the congratulations of Her Majesty the
Queen on the success of the great inter-
national enterprise accomplished bv the
science, skill and indOmitabIe energy of
the two continents. 1t is a triumph more
glorious, because more useful, than was
ever won by the conqueror on the field of
battle. May the Atlantic Telegraph
Company, under the blessing of Heaven.
prove to be a bond of perpetual peace and
friendship between the kindred nations,
and an instrument destined by Divine Pro-
violence to diffuse religious civilization, IL
berty and law throughout the world. In
this view will not all the nations of Christ
endom unite in the declaration that it
shall be forever neutral, and that its COM
munication shall be held sacred in the
places of their destinations in the midst of
hostilities.

How our NeighbOrS feel about Land
Sales.

The following we clip from the Neb-
raska City Neps of the 2lst. 1t was
undoubtedly written for a local ''cut,"
but will show what the feelings of the
settlers are in regard to the approaching
land sales.
Mr.. Enron:
We should like to see our representa-
tives elect call a meeting in order to see
what is best to be done, before the land
sales with the settlers who have not the
means to preserve their claims, and do
not intend to pay forty per cent. for Land
Warrants. The Democratic nominees
pledged themselves, if elected, to use all
mean in their power to postpone the sale
Of the public lands.
Now we look to the Peoples friends
to show their willingness, at least, by
calling a public meeting to take into con-
sideration the best means to thwart the
impending ruin hat has been brought on
the most useful class of citizens in this
Territory by the fundamentally Of the
mercenary spectators. And such a
meeting will be represented too, with a
larger audience than has been witnessed
at any of our political meetings.
CAMP CREEK Conn PLANTER.
1t is gratifying to US to know that the
position taken by the Advertiser, from
the very first intimation that we would
probably have land sales, up to the pre-
sent, in opposition to such action relative
to the public lands, was and is yet the true
policy. Many who disagreed with US in
the start, are now willing, and do ac-
knowledge the correctness Of our predic-
tons.
We have not the end yet, unless a post
p0nement Of sales can be effected. The
great majority of those now entering on
time will be as poorly prepared a year
hence, to meet their obligations, as they
are now. This is a very plain case.
They have-in most instances at least
no spare crops now, and their payments
become due next year at this time-betore
crops mature. So what have they to de-
pend on as to making the money off the
land with which to meet their $3.50 obi
cation! We don't claim to be "a prophet
or the son Of a prophet" but we shall be
very agreeably disappointed if times are
not much more oppressive this time next
year than now Taking the daily entHes
at this Land Office, and the proportignate
number of them entered on time, as a
basis, and there will be due from the set
tiers, in the Nemaha Land District alone,
at this time next year, not less than two
hundred thousand dollars! Now is it at
all reasonable to suppose that this enorm-
Gus sum of money can be made off of
comparatively wild lands in one year?
Nebraska advertiser., 1858-08-26
To Settlers OF the South Platte
District.

FELLow-CITIzENs-A last effort is
about being made to obtain the postpone
ment of the land sales for this Territory,
and l have deemed it proper to advise you
of it.
A mass convention Of the settlers in
the Nemaha district was held at Brown
vile on Saturday last, at which the Hon.
James Craig, of Missouri, who has alrea-
dy done much to deserve the gratitude of
the people of the Great West, was pre-
sent and volunteered to accept any dele
cation from this Territory to aid in the
desired ~postponement. A committee from
that Conventio reached here last evening
and advised me that Richard Brown, Esq,
of that district, and myself, from this dis
trict, were selected and requested, in fiat
tering terms, to act as that delegation.
have attempted, in the brief time al
lowed, to obtain the consent of others,
who are better fitted to accomplish the
object in view, to act in my place, but IN
vain; and | am therefore called upon,
either to sacrifice personal convenience
and the time and means involved In the
undertaking, or to prove myself indiffer-
ent to the interests and wishes of the peO-
pie with whOmI am proud to be identified.
Therefore, however different l might
have been as to the assumption, yet, I'M
der all the circumstances, | feel | have
no other alternative than to take upon N.Y.
self, and upon the instant, the responsible
lily of representing your wishes to the
President, and making a last appeal per-
sonally to his ExcellenCy to rescue the
Territory and its patriotic settlers from
the troubles and injuries which Will be
the inevitable result of the land sales at
this time.
Having s%trenuously opposed the propo-
sed sales all the time, | am free to say,
that whatever reason there might have
been for them when ordered, as a reve-
nue. measure, since the satisfactory ad-
iustment of the Utah difficulties, and the
conceded fact hat no money can be had
from them at this time, such reasons have
now ceased to exist.
We start this morning for Washington,
we may fail, but we r sanguine of sue
cess, and are determined, at all events, to
lose 1T time and to spare no effort to in
sure it.
Trusting to communicate to you the
desired p~OstpOnement before the 9th pro-
ximO.
l am respectfully your fe llow-citizen.

JOHN w. HAIL,
Settled IN this county on the 18th of
May, 1866. He has now under %cultiya-
ton, and enclosed with a good staked and
ridered fence, 1O8 acres: 81 acres in
corn, which he thinks will yield IS bush
els to the acre; 45 bushels in wheat and
oats. He was among the fortunate this
year, and has secured over 500 bushels
of good wheat. He sowed what is called
the Rio wheat, which has never been
known to fail. All who have sown it,
even this year, have secured good crops.
Of oats Mr.. H. raised between 400 and
500 bushels. From 2 acres and 60 rods
of ground, he secured 10 tons and 1857
pounds of Hungarian grass hay. He has
a good thrifty apple orchard of II acres,
a few trees in which bore apples last
year-the first grown in Nemaha county.
He has 3 acres in potatoes; 2 acres in
millet; and acre in chinese sugar cane.
