HURRY UP IF you WANT LAND.
The Saltwater Gazette saws:

Such rush for government land has
not been known for many wears. A
sort of mania for the acquisition fof
land seems to have broken out stimuli
taneously in all parts of the country.
We are informed by people Just return
ed from Mobiles county, that during the
months of September II 900 acres Of rail
road land were sold OH the st. Paul &
Sioux City railroad, besides over 90.
600 acres were taken at the land office
ut Worthington-or about two thirds
more otFgoVernmentl land than was sold
during the two previous years.
i. Saltwater and vicinity alone has fur.
nished quite a colony which is locating
in the northwest corner Of this county.
The Mankato, Review also says:
& A gentleman Just arrived from the
west reports 4 gratifying increase in
the. immigration to: Mobiles and ada

and boarding houses are doing a driy.
ing business. Everything looks prom

will not be set down: to 1"exaggera-

our favor, and that long-predicted
f1ourishing future has set in. The
grasshopper has ceased to be a burden,
and hence :f'? there is laid up for those
who have been. faithful a crown Of
bundant harvests. "a. ~ ,ei,;,,,. ..rx.

The exclusion Of every candidate from
the country, two-thirls the voters of
that party being practically ignored.
In this extremity the country looked to
the Democratic party for redress, but
when Its convention. followed. in 3 the

nominations was not made at the, re-
