A correspondent Of the kcokuk Gate City
writing from Doniphan, 4. r., says:
There is considerable speculation here Us to
tue land sales. and the general opinion is that
here will be no bidders. Huchanan's s ill.adyised
measure Of forcing the homestead Of the prc.
emptor into market has had the effect Of max
ing many votes for the opposition. There were
10 bidders ut the Omaha sale, last week. Not
single cash bidder, I believe. So much for
'orcing. There are, however, many spectators
out here with land warrants, and as soon as the
Jays Of sale shall have passed ther will begin TO
'ocate them. There will be not little confusion
Ind tue poor men will be crowded to The wall.
nany poor pre-emrtor will be crowded down,
unless they should form some sort of mutual
protection-whicl1 is by no means improbable.
