yINDICATING MR.. WELSH.
The published statement that Mr.
John Welsh or any firm with which he
has ever been connected, had been prose
cuted on account Of Irregularities prac
ticed on importing colored sugars, &c.
is not sustained by the records at th
Treasury Department. Treasury off
cials claim that had such a transaction
occurred it would be matter OF recort
in the Department. The files have bee
thoroughly searched without finding an.
trace of it. Consequently the statemen
must be accepted as malicious attempt
on the part OF irresponsible parties, tt
blacken the character Of one of the frs
gentlemen in Pennsylvania, and in con
sequence of the President having nom
mated him to the high position OF Am
erican Representative 10 the Court o
St. James. 1t is believed that the Sena
tors fully appreciate the fact that
speedy confirmation OF Mr.. Welsh
nomination will reflect with credit OIL
themselves.

BY reference to the Auditors

that this one-twelfth now bears tho

ing the county falls not alone upon

we are aStoniSiic,l To find SO small an

holders wonld-5y dividing Tighten
it? Is it not clear TO every thinking
man that we need aargcr popu lation
to put more land under cultivation7
This being conceded, the questions
arise, Eow can We secure lnrger
population +? And what inducements
can We offer them? The first, we
answer, BY advertising your country
and lis advantages; and the second,
Hy renting and selling lands on low,
reasonable terms. 1t is clearly with
in the power Of the landholders of
Spartanburg county to double the
population Of The county, in n com
raratiycly short time; and it is also
clear, that in doing so, they double
the value OF their own property. Is it
wise to keep all this land lying idle,
dead capital, on which taxes are paid,
and for which no interest is received?
and would il not be better to sell and
lease il at low rates to actual settlers,
who will cultivate and improve it,
and increase its value and the value
Of the property surrounding it, than
to allow it TO remain in its present
state? Our farms and plantations
are too large, and experience has pro.
ven that no country has ever arrived
at Il high state Of cultivation, Cor Of
civilization cven,) until it became pro
pcrly settled. These surplus lands
represent so much idle capital, which
should be loaned ut low rates, in
order thatits value may be increased,
and the country benefited.
