Mr. Editor :-*-I am thankful it is Winter,
for nothing could exouse a man for stiring up
a M mud pile ” in the dog-days, which has
such noxious vapor in raid-winter.
A* I have been arraigned, and accused of
being a very had fellow—a traducer of Mrs.
Stowe and her negro subject—(by the way,
wonder if Mrs. Stcwc has not profited more
from the “ peculiar institution ” than most
slave holders.) I had better here state my
confession of faith, so as to leave the field
clear for the war of words:
Ist. I am opposed *to American Slavery.
2d. I think Uncle Tom’s Cabin the best
work in the whole catalogue of Negro Liter
ature.
3d. I think the Scriptures of the Old and
New Testament a better book than the
“ great work of Mrs. Stowe.”
4th. I believe that works on Ancient and
Modern History, Geography, Travels, the
Biography of great and good men and women,
may be read with more profit than the de
tails of unnatural cruelty practised either
North or South.
sth. I believe in the greatness of this
Western country, and do not like to see
“ Henley-In-Arden ” getting sick of our
Western manners.
Having made this confession, I proceed to
notice the wrathful effusion of some illna
tured dispose who signs himself “ Ileuley-
In-Arden,” which I suppose means Henry in
great wrath. I suppose the discriminating
readers of the Minnesotian are by this time j
convinced that West is wholly annihilated, 1
and that he will never again wag his pen
while “ Henley-In-Arden ” remains above
ground. We wish to be charitable, but we
can hardly refrain from charging “ Henley ”
with affecting to be unconscious of his own
greatness! He tells us he is a Western
man, and then presumes to say that Western
men are not on that account men of taste.
Now, can you find any where in the East,
or even in the Old World, his equal in acute
ness ? There is a proverb, we have heard in
several of the States which runs thus, “It
is hard to get blood out of a turnip.” This
difficult task Minnesota’s own “ Henley ”
can accomplish; for he has gotten out of our
article things that were no more in it, than
blood is in a turnip.
It is the glory of an Irishman uot to deny
his country; let me beg of “ Henley ” not
to deny to Minnesota the glory of his great
ness. Where will you find such powers out
of our “ Beloved Territory ? ” Mr. Editor,
I am in doubt whether It would not be
greatly to my advantage to come out and
make myself known as the veritable West,
whom “ Henley,” with the assistance of
“ A Lady,” used up ? What would you ad
vise ? As you are a politician, you may be
better able than myself to judge of the ex
pediency of such a course. Being a “ plain
blunt man,” exceedingly “ simple ” and
“ foggy ” withal, I can never hope for re
nown unless it be by sonic lucky hit, such as
is the “ fortune of fools.”
An intelligent citizen, who seems to think
that an over exertion of the brain is unfavor
able to longevity, has expressed a doubt
whether our “ Henley ” will long survive his
effusion of the 12th inst. We think our
friend is mistaken in supposing that “Henley”
has put forth any great effort in the produc
tion of that article ; we regard it as the na
tural production of his great mind which has
caused him no more labor than our common
place articles cost us. Still it is well to
remember that time will define even great
men; and in order that the present genera
tion may secure to itself the honor of ap
preciating the worth of its brightest orna
ments, we beg to suggest that the readers
of Uncle Tom each contribute one dollar, and
send the same without delay to Mr. Fred
Douglass, to be expended by him in the
erection of a suitable monument, in some
conspicuous place in the City of St. Paul, in
honor of “ Henley-In-Arden,” the Defender of
the Faith, and the Divine Legation of Mrs. H.
B. Stowe and her imitators. If the Abolition
Press favor this suggestion, our dollar shall
be forthcoming. Having taken up too much
space in paying my addresses to Henry-in
great wrath, and in making known my ap
preciation of his wonderful abilities, I must
hasten to notice very briefly some of the
merits of his article.
There is something remarkable in the fact
that “Henley” should have become so exci
ted by the two follow'ing sentences: “Since
Uncle Tom appeared upon the stage there
has arisen a great mania for Negro Litera
ture.” Again: “It might be a fruitful subject
for a lecturer to discuss this question: Does
Uncle Tom belong to the Sunday School As
sociation which adopted it, or to the Thea
ter? or is it a joint stock concern ?” These
two sentences contain the w hole of our of
fending against the “Great work of Mrs-
Stowe.” If I had said this much against the
Bible, I doubt whether I could have excited
so much wrath against my humble self. We
intended to say, and now say again, that the
reading of works of fiction to the extent to
which it is indulged in at the present day,
has an injurious effect upon the minds and
hearts of the readers. Controvert it who
may! If we were mistaken in this, why did
not "Henley,'’ as a man of sense, expose
our error, and convince the people of this
city that light reading is very profitable ?
Cannot the citizens of St. Paul discuss such
a question without abuse and invective ? It
is the uniform practice of one class of men
to fly into a passion with all who even seem
to differ with them on any point touching
the Slavery question. '
“Judas was a doughface.” Yes, and lie
betrayed his master; just like many of the
readers of Mrs. Stowe have done, they have
forsaken the Bible, abused the Church and
opposed every Christ’an effort to convert the
poor slave. There are those who think it a
work of infinitely greater importance to run
one slave off to Canada, than to take the
A
whole race to Heaven 1 Mr, Henley proves
that we are neither a “doughface” nor a
“sprig of Southern chivalry.” Well, then,
what are we? A Dutchman perhaps! or If
he wishes a more direct answer, my name is
West for the present. In these Western States
my father drove his plow', and taught his
boys to believe that the West is a great
country—and as a Western man, I allow oth
er men to differ from me in opinion and will
not abuse them on that account. Not being
a doughface, I say just what l mean. Ido
not think more of llenley for becoming sick
iof our Western manners. If he is a good
and true man, I venture to say the West has
done well bv bim thus far. Henley’s sensi
tiveness betrays itself in a remarkable man
ner; it has so shai'iiened his acuteness that
he discovers distinctions in the article cf
West, that were not intended to be drawn.
We did not intend to distinguish between
rich croakers and poor croakers; there are no
rich croakers , they are all poor croakers ; and if
they were each worth a million of dollars,
they would still be poor croakers ! mean croak
ers !
For the MlnncsotUn.
It is touching, (as well as unkind !) those
last few lines in Henley. Why this lacrymal
effusion ? No man who has been called to
suffer affliction, in any Western community
with which I am acquainted, can charge upon
Western people a want of kindness and sym
pathy. The sighs and groans of the sufferer
nowhere awaken a deeper response than in
the hearts of our Western people. Henley
appears to be misanthropic, and for his own
comfort, we advise him to expel the demon.
We are not done, but stop. If our friends
are excited, the}’ may calm their feelings by
an hour’s communion with Sam and Andy.
The Kansas call for aid was presented by
Gov. Chase to the Legislature on the sth,
accompanied by a message referring in strong
terms to the repeal of the Missouri Compro
mise and the disturbances growing out of the
repeal.
The message was ordered to be printed, as
were also a series of resolutions offered by
Mr. Campbell, calling on Congress to intei
fere in behalf of Kansas.
Kansas Affairs in the New York Legislature
The following communication was sen
into the Assembly to-dav by the Governor
Lawrence City, Kansas, )
January 2, 1856. £
To His Excellency Gov. Clark:
Sir :—We have authentic information that
an overwhelming force of the citizens are
organizing upon our border, amply supplied
with artillery, for the avowed purpose of in
vading our Territory, and our towns, and
butchering our free citizens. We hope to be
able to hold out until assistance reaches us;
and we respectfully request, in behalf of the
citizens of Kansas, that such steps may be
taken by the people of the States as human
ity suggests, to prevent the successful car
rying out of so inhuman an outrage,
liespectfully signed,
J. 11. LANE,
Chairman of Ex. Com.
C. T. ROBINS,
Gov. Elect of Kansas.
GEO. W. lUDLYAN,
Secretary.
Strong apprehensions arc entertained that
some disaster has happened to the steamer
Pacific, which left Liverpool on the 23d.
Her agents have concluded to dispatch a
steamer in search of her.
The Times’ correspondent writes that pri
vate letters from Petersburg, dated Jan. 17,
state that the Czar had decided formally
that the Austrian propositions were to be
the basis of ulterior pacific negotiation, ar.d
for the present may be considered as ti*ue,
and preliminaries of peace.
Among the diplomatic body and the Court,
peace was regarded as inevitable, and an un
conditional acceptance of the propositions
has produced great sensation in the capital.
It will be seen by our reports that the bill
to extend time to the M. A N. W. Railroad
Company—which had previously passed the
House by a large majority—passed the Coun
cil on Saturday by a vote of 11 to 4.
The House also passed on Saturday, Mr.
Norris’ memorial to Congress, praying for
the repeal of the act which repealed our
Railroad Land Grant.
We are rejoiced to see these strong mani
festations of almost a thorough unity of ac
tion in our Legislature upon this heretofore
vexed Railroad Question.
Railroad Accident.—A collision of pas
senger trains occurred on the Michigan
Southern Railroad on theOth, by which three
men were killed and several passengers
wounded. The wreck caught fire imme
diately after the collision, and the mails
going East and all the passengers’ baggage
were destroyed.

The natives were giving trouble to both
the American and English settlements.
A serious disturbance had occurred at Si
nou between the natives and the English
authorities.
Several native towns had been burned by
the English.
President Roberts and the British Consul
left Monrovia on the 20th November, and
arrived at Sinod on the 27th. When they
went on shore they found that several of the
people had beOn murdered.
The President and Consul returned to
Monrovia with several European Ladies, and
voluntary corps were being raised to dispatch
immediately to Sinou.

Mr. Rust was arrested yesterday for the
assault on Mr. Greeley, and held under SSOO

’T'HIS truly extraordinary preparation having effected
a cure in every Instance wherein it lias been used,
those cases of the most malignant and inveterate char
acter, standing for years, desptte medical science, place
itsupeilor to all other preparations. Its mode of com
position and entire process, so elaborately aud scientifi
cally combined, Is ol public notoriety, and the faculty
and public generally ace.rd that patronage a superior
article meriis. It is devoid of those destructive agents
which too commonly form an important Item when less

Itscxten.she use throughout the country, and the cer

satisfy the doubtful that it will perform what Is stated,
and maj be implicitly rolled on with perfect confidence,
no matter bow deep-seated the affection or of what du
ration. I ask the sufferer to take a bottle, aud if relief
be not experienced, I say take no more. But it is a fait
and an obvious one, that those semi (part) Sarsaparillas
occasionally get greater credittliaa a carefully prepared
and genuine medicine. 1 assert my Compound Surun
of Sarsaparilla to be the best. Firstly, it is made of
the very best root, in concentrated forlu, carefully and
chemically combined, and ten times stronger than any o*
the other preparations. Secondly, the active principle
being extracted by a powerful tincture-press, rnadees'

Superior, Douglas Co., Wis.
rginis place is situated on the Bay of Superior and
ft. Left Hand river, at the head of Lake Superior, and
possesses a better site, a better harbor, and greater ad
vantages for a commercial city, than any oiber point in
the Northwest, and is equalled in prospective imp.rt
ance by Chicago only.
The proprietors have a clear, undisputed, and unin
cumbered title to the land upon which Superior is laid
out, and all purchasers of lots receive warrantee deeds
for the same.
Superior was laid out during the past season, and
ready contains several hundred Inhabitants, a largeh
tel, a number of stores, a commodious pier, with waie
houses, and is in all respects the most nourishing new
town in the West. The county-seat, aU. S. Land Office
and Post Office are located here, where the Mississippi
and Lake Superior U. S. Military Road, now in course of
construction, connecting with St. Paul, terminates. It
is also the lake termini of all the projected railroads to
the head of Lake Superior. The “Soo” canal will be
open by June, after which time four linesof lake steam
ers will ruu to Superior—one from Chicago, two from
Cleveland, and one from Buffalo; fine vessels having
been built expressly for tills trade.
Two steam sawmills and a printing press are nowon
the way to Superior aud will be promptly set to work.
One-half of the lots have been appropriated by the
proprietors to be sold by the, undersigned to actual set
tlers on easy terms, and to provide a fund for extensive
public improvements. Liberal approprial ions have been
made for public purposes—parks, churches, railroads,
etc.

from the similarity of names, it is proper to state that.
“Superior City,” about the title of which a legal contro
versy exists, is another aud different place, aud in a dif
