We OBSERVE that the Germans of Boston

WE OBSERVE that the Germans of Boston
have presented a + t'tion to Congress
through Mr.. SUMNER, praying it "to pre-
vent landed aristocracy in the couutry." p
We think this no: an i'll timed suggestions
viewing the hot haste with with the govern
ment is disposing Of the contiscated and
abandoned lands of the South to few
grasping spectators. One argument used
bv the Helpers and others, in favor of the
abolition of slavery, was, that it would be
more than made up by the enehaneed value
Of the lands. If this were true, the Gov
eminent should husband such a resource,
to relieve the treasury Of the nation; but
the fact is, there is no principle in the whole
matter 1t is mere greed of gain, and our
disenterested abolitionists, under the garb
of philanthropy, rush to the South, buy
cheap lands, and employ freedmen at seven
dollars month, under plea of keeping them
from starving. Very disinterested Their
desire for "cheap cotton" reminds us of the
London broomsellers. One asked the other
now he could afford TO undersell him, when
be stole the materials of which his brooms
were made? "Why" replied the other,
dye see, my pal, the fact is here, steefs
mine ready made!" -
We cannot do better in this connection
than copy the following from the New York
Times. -- IT,
SALE OF CoNFIseATED. LLNps.
A private in one of the Connecticut
regiments, in writing us business letter
from Port Royal IS. O. adds the following
suggestions in regard to the sale OF conhs-
Gated lands in that department:
--"I wish you would protest against the
land sales as conducted in this department..
We are fighting to put down one landed
aristocracy, and we ought not at the same
..;me to build up another. l fear the color,
ed nen would not be much benefited by
the change. There is no chance for com
,,ot;t;on in sales; as there Is. no chance foE
'u,, one but Government officials and mill
tarv officers and few Northern sharpers
- bscome acquainted with tho lands or to
tend the sales. Consequently, few Of
the hast plantations are sold for song and
tho others are bid in by the Government

good many of them would purchase ttas :. is

The cAsE, Of John Forney, Of Fulton
county; Pa, is a striking instance of the
.tyrapnus conduct OF Federal oficisls, and
an Illustration Of the danger Of yielding up
to central usurpation the constitutional
rights reserved to the States. When the
enrolling officer called upon Mr., Forney,
he told him he was over 45 years of age !;
on the day of appeals he appeared at the
Board of Enrolment, and his name was
stricken out. 1t was afterwards, without
his knowledge, restored to the list, put in
the wheel and drawn out. After being
thus drafted he again appeared, made the
necessary proof and was discharged. He
was then arrested by the Provost MarshaPs
guard as a delinquent, He applied for
habeas corpus and was again discharged
After this discharge, the Lieutenant Of the
guard attempted again to arrest him, when
Forney shot him. .saz sa a--.leR
"On the evening of the same day on
which the shooting occurred, John Forney
came to McConuelsburg and voluntarily de
livered himself up to the civil authorities,
not denying the shooting, but declaring
that The act was done in self,defence,
whsreupon he was regularly committed to
lail This was on Wednesday, January q,
1863. On Friday following he was forcibly
taken from the Jail by a party Of the Pro
vost Guard, carried to 'Chambersburg,
thence to Washington aud there lodged in
the Old Capitol Prison. On the applica-
tion of the District Attorney of the coun--
ty, to Governor Curtin, arrangements were
made by which Forney was finally deliver
ed up by the military authorities at Wash
ingtou and handed over to the Courts of
Fulton county for trial.
The District Attorney was then arrested
by military authorities. l.,
"In the meantime the rebels during the
invasion last June, had broken open our
iail and carried Forney off with them
Being released by them the returned vol

into Court, and on bearing the indictment
read, pleaded not guilty, and put himself
on his country for trial. On last Wednes-
day he was acquitted, the verdict of the
Jury being Not Guilty"

"Resolved, That the freedom of the bal

the ensuing elections, State and National;

A river that runs east or west crosses no
parallel of latitude; consequently, IS it flows
towards the sea, it does not change its eli
male, and, being in the same climate, the
crops that are grown at its mouth are grown
also at its source; and from one end to the
other Of it there is no variety Of productions
lit is all of wheat and corn, or wine or oil,
or some other staple. Assorted careoes
therefore cannot be made up from the pro-
dnce which such river brings down to
market. On the other hand, a river that
runs north or south crosses parallels of lati :
tude, changes its climate at every turn, and /,
as the traveller descends it. he see new agri.
cultural staples aboundlng. Such river
bears down to the sea variety of produo-
tons, which one or another of the nations
is sure to want, and for which one will send
to the market at its mouth or the port
whence they are distributed over the world !.
Its advantages are equally great for trade
between the different sections through which
it flows, as the staples Of those sections are
unlike, and productions lacking in one part
OF its course are supplied in another. The
assortments of merchandise afforded by such
a river are the life Of commerce; they give
it energy, activity, and scope. Such river
is the Mississippi, and the Mississippi is the
only such river in the world !-ScisntiJac

them, and too mean to buy them. At hast
