opening of theee coiwninmculioin w hit’ll n ay he
deemed necessarv tor the purpose of affording the
denizens of the'Vest . ) opportunity of settling

their •Plate, through its culitvulien and accumula

Hr. \ ENABLE W i'l mv friend allow hip to

consider it our dutv, niter giving land to the land

make a road to the land?
.Mr SEYMOFII. 1 nrn coming to that iden
tical point. I sjr, lli -e, that »o I>r as there lias
been n:»j leg shit ton upon the »uhj-ct, :t has hern
uniform. These oads, if ilo v hate heen military
roads, have been ivns'.iurt j t>v the fjovernno iit.
If they have been lands to aid the pioneer in
reaching these set’l l . tits, they have been con
■ iructed bv means of the legislation of t ongve-s.
It is said—tod my toite gee made the remark in
the speech which he ad lre--ed h tlie committee
some time since— mi l tlio question is now repeat
ed bv thogsinleni.il from North Carotin i, ['dr.
Venn Me,] —that wc have Armed i:t a point in
tho legislation of this country when the policy oi
the Government upon !h:« subject ought to be
i.hn’ged; and that having voted for a law which
allows to any iuiLvidml who i- the head .of a
fami-y to go and take >n« hundred and sixty acres
of the public land, and make .1 homestead of a,
without paying 1 dnhar to the Government for i»,
we should now no longer ex -r:-t«o this enro and
*upiTvi-,or», and anproprate these moneys lo r the
purpose < f aiding tile »cti!i nieiit of the \\ e*»,
which we have heretol to done. In my humble
opinion, there are still wronger reas uis why we
should do it. If the policy is 4 good one—and 1
think lis v hi - h 1 »<! rotated , and voted (or upon
this 11 or, t‘> g'vc 1 • the-'c setters a homestead in
that country, then it i- surely a good one uNo to
prov:Je th on with th‘> means ot uttjii.itig that
paint, where they can occupy the land, where
thev can become grid cit:/-- and where they
Can incresse liv their industry the accumulation t f
weallti, which wt r et will flow fiom such a
Stream of independent :giicu!tun-ts who will so
greatly inersw the weallti of the whole country.
That is a par: of the great system which we ha ve
«do|Hed in the pm ecipt'.-ui I vs, and in all < f
those various fie "shlij.-Ii w,> have afforded for
the rapid settlement of the West. The construc
tion of these roan., ;* sc, mv to ioc, foims one im
portant part ofili.il -v-'rni, lad should Hot, and
will not, be abandoned by the (ioveminent.

'! Last Saturday, ue proceeded out through Little '
< Canada, to inspect that part of our own neighbor- !
’ hood; and it is but truth to say, that it surpass- !
\ ' es our poaer of description, to do justice to it ]
>'■ ihe lakes in and around Little Canada, with the i
if ; ;
(> j small farms that surround them, the sharp-roofed, ‘
t ! I ren It !o'king houses there, huilt of tamarac ;
'ogs, and the log hams, thatched with straw, pre
. cisely as they were by the peasantry of ('ranee •
in the time of Louts \lV,and as they still ate i
' in I lance and in Canada, (for a Canadian abhors
i innovation,) the primitive looking ox yoke, upon
~ the steer' that are about one-half head end horns, >
c ' l lie tamarac fences, the patches of beans and j
' onions, and the rudr Hod river cart und the ponv
in the door yard, where half a dozen lean dogs
are bri*tiiug and twice as many lean swine, all
these features are new to hundreds of people liv- ]
s ingin St. Paul; and are interesting to us; fori
these people are our neighbors, older residents
c itere than vve are, and very contented, wort.hv 1
people, whose acquaintance tune of us sutikient- :

of the lake, like a vast fl over p.‘, ;s an island
1 crowded with rock map e trees—so lark beneath

Bek ros County Cock r—This Court com
menced its session one week ago last Monday,
haying, we learn, three cases on it* doc et, two
of w hicli wete divorces. Decrees of divorce were j
were granted to S. 11. Axtell and to Mrs. Alexnn
j der—a serious loss to the public printer next win- j
I ter, as their bills for divorco in the Legislature,
Urtxt winter, will no longer swell the daily jour
j nals of the two Houses. We feel particularly
' grateful however, for llie good they have already
j done u- in that way. 'Fit* Court at Sauk Rapids,
• being held hi a log house, several strangers on
their way up tint river, blundered in there, think
ing it a grocery, to get something to drink; and
| were undeceived hv finding Mis Honor presidio,,
l over tlio other sort of bar, consisting of two or
three lawyers be.-ido tho Dislrict Attorney, fiu
i it'jj jurors for non-attendance; and looking as *o

' Next is an article about “Tiio Difference,”
i which we think it would he no harm to split.
i l rdtti r says, (in bitter irony wo arc compell
| ed to think,) “Social intercourse in the West is
j marked by an honest cordiality, Min-enty and
| finnkuess. In tho Last you have, to do with ;ip
i pearanoes: in the W e*t, you encounter the heart,
, nature as it is, and as ii should be. There, all
| is formality, affectation and deceit. //< -c, words,
1 actions and looks, in the general, are the unmis
j takeable index of the heart.” Now ve say there
its not more smooth-spoken, smirking, rotten
hearted social hypocrisy, on the f.,cc of any [arl
| of God’s creation, than can he produced, lied or
W bite, in .Minnesota. The flying West Newton
tlir illustrious Co!. J. Robinson of Galena— glean
ing: from the Paul papers rather tight paper*
, f, n >ou, neighbor,) a coltim-i of editorial corres
pondence, in which the writer is remarkably
sweet upon the Southern Michigan, and bitter on
the Central Railroad—half a column of lively
“up town notes,” in which allusion is made to
tiie null suit of Steele and Taylor—St. Anthonv
full of strangers (of course strangers, if it is fuii.)
I hen the Lxpress also contains a variety of other
matters and is an interesting weekly, published
at St. Anthony, Minnesota Territory, evety Fri
day, al s‘2 00 per annum in advanco.
The River Mails.— Although we arc enti- ;
tied to three river mails each week, to and from |
Galcnn.it somehow so happens, from want of j
connection we suppose at Galena, that we have I
scarcely averaged two mails a week, since the j
boats started. Hew does it happen, tint the P.
O. Department cannot order mails lobe made up
forthe West Newton, the swiftest boat on the
Cpper Mississippi, which arrives and depart- 1
regularly twe e a n*-ek :
Falls or thi Ohio.—Tho editor of the
Minnesotian happens to disagree with Capt. Lod
wick, about the navigability of the Fall)* of the
i Ohio at Louisville Capt. I.odwick says it was at
infinite peril, that the Ken Campbell was taken ,
down the Falls. If our neighbor's opinion about •
it were correct, it was a very foolish expenditure
of money ever to have built the locks and canal
there.
! Freights.—Now is the time to get your
transportation up the riser. Freights were never
i lower. By the way, we intend to take notice
; next fall ana report wiiut boats take advantage of j
! our necessities, just before the close of the river, :
i and charge exorbitant prices for Freight ami p as- j
, | sage. Remember them.
The Capitol.—The St. Anthony Express
inquires:
j “Is there anything to be done towards the Cap
-1 itol this season? What lias become of the turn- i
! her deposited on the proposed site, for building ;
purpose.*? What lias become of the money ap
propriated by th» Government for erecting public i
buildings’ Who has the contract? Who are the *
bendsmeti? Would be obliged, if the Pioneer
' (which is generally posted up on local matters,) !
1 would throw u little light on this subject. There
. j art* certain rumors afloat in this vicinity, not par- ;
I j ticulariy creditable to some parties connected with
; this matter.”
, w
e regret to inform our neighbor, that this is
I one of the “local matters” of, and concerning
1 which, the I’ioneer not being yet sufficiently ad
! vised, lias taken time to consider. But if. ..s we
M
r ! strongly suspect, there is anything “rotten in
Denmark,” we promise “to rip it dear over Jor
! dan. This much we know, that the wall r of tho
capitol, planted iast I ill, have not come up this
f T ur ‘ls’ Rn d w 0 !ire Jarful that the whole thing is
! “froze out.”
W HEAT IN Ml N NK»OTA. — Wc ought to fed
, encouraged in the cultivation of wheat as a ata
, . pie product of our Territory, by the well-known
fact, that grain grown in high latitudes, is inva
riably' the heaviest jnd sweetest tint is raised.
T *
. Tins is now made more evident, by the fact that
t 1 1,10 '\\ ar Eagle Mills of Galena, which manufac
ture flour from wheat raised chiefly in Wisconsin,
: and up tho rivers, arc getting the preference for
their flour, ali the wav down the river; and the
War Eagle Brand is now sought aft**r, ali along
] ; down the coast, as a superior article for the best
family use.
i I trar. —W e learn that Louis Roberts, of our
i» town, has on hand an immense stock of furs, well
e bund ed, of all descriptions. They are stored,
. ready for shipment, in the saloon and ten-pin al
r ley, lately known as the I rench saloon, on 3d
„ street.
*>OW, lalts HE THERE AND NONE, SO
II POOR, TO PO HIM RH KRENCE.”—Whatever
1 , remained of poor old B >h Hughes, after the spirit
y had left him (Bob was knocked into the river last
* week, while playing with a hear, and drowned,)
o was carried up through 3u street, in a rough box,
drawn upon a dray, at the expense of tho town.
’ Rows of decanters, in the groceries, stood arrayed
- on both sides of the street, as the corpse passed,
i with tin labels, like aprons, -u-pi ndt'd in front of
r ttiem; but none u r t!u; secret societies turned out.
• | Sr. Paul.—The Express at St. Anthony
r pays our town only a just tribute, tells the truth
and nothing mere, in declaring that Bt. Paul “is,
in every sens ', the rnetiopolis of our Territory.
She is the ecclesiastic .i, political, educational
and commercial centre o: .Mi;.in sota.”
A.v Error Corke ted. —The St. Anthony
T.xpress savs.
“A family from Pennsylvania eon*i*iini» ~f
• nine persons came up on one of the boats, and
- landed at Stidwute’* someday last week—only
f three of whom are now living.—six having di**d
of cholera. It seems they hud been complaining
of the premonitory symptoms of the disease, be- 1
i lore they t cached "*lllllXOlO.*, and bad neglected •
. the means fur arresting : t. When they left the
( boat they were unable to obtain a house and tool.
up their lodging in a ham. 'this they occupied
1 two days, when they removed to a bouse some 5
* two miles below town. But when thev got fairlv
j quartered here, six oi them wore seized xviilj lie
cholera and yesterday morning ail lay corpses in i
’ the bouse. Terrible, indeed, must bo this af- J
i diction to the survivors.”
Now this story may bead true, changing the;
, venue to another locality. The melancholy oc-j
currency, as here narrated, never occurred, how- i
, ever, in Minnesota. M e aver that there has nee- ;
t> ytt been a case of undoubted Asiatic clioltro j
f in cur Territory,first or last.
Union or the Democratic tapers oi J
lladison, Wis.—Tho Argus and the Demo-’
> crat are now united, and published by Brown &
I ; Carpenter, the proprietors. They well remark,’
i ; that “the existence of tw o democratic papers at
■ the Capital, with the necessary conflicting inter-j
, ests nlid separate friends, Iris long been de.ure- 1
‘I
■ cuted by a large portion of the democratic party* j
who viewed with apprehension every ctrcum
; stance cah ukited to \\ eaken the confidence or im- '
! pair tho sympathy of those acting for a common '
object.” i

Fourth of July. —A progrintirie of excrci- i

lena.
True Time.—Mr. Robinson, jeweller, has a
time piece, that may be depended upon in any
weather. The eflect of iieat and cold, upon the
length of the pendulum, i« counterbalanced or'
, compensated, in this clock, by an ingenious de
! vice. The clock is warranted not to vary one
minute in a year; and this clock, regulated by
; the quadrant, will giv e u.s something more accu
rate than mean time.

Minnesota River.—Mr. Douglass, ol the
Senate, on the Bth iu«t., de.ivercd the follow ing j
message to the House:
“Mr. President, the Committee on Territories,
to which was referred the joint resolution from the
House of Representatives, changing the name of I
the St Peter’s river, m Minnesota Territory, have
directed me to report it back without amendment
| and recommend ils immediate passage. The fact
|of the case is simply this: This river is soine
] times known as the St. Peter’s, and sometimes
as the Minnesota rixer; some acts of Congress
j designate it by the one name, and some bv the
i other; this produces confusion; the Legislature of
the Territory of Minnesota have risked us to fix 1
I the name of the river by law. I ask that the I i
! joint resolution be acted on now. There can be t
I no possible objection to it. I
There being no objection, the joint resolution 1
| was considered as in Committee of the Whole.! |
It provides, that the rixer heretofore known as j i
the St Peter’s river shall hereafter be known and ! !
designated on the public record* a* the Minnesota
river. No amendment being ottered, it was re- I
ported to the Senate without amendment, or- 1 !
dered to a third reading, read a third time, and x
n isscd.”
* C
Acts for the Tehritonies. —On the Btb
instant, n message from the House of Represen- j
tatives was received by Mr. Forney, its Clerk,
announcing that it bad passed the following bills:
An act to run and establish the boundary be
tween the State of Texas and the Territories of
; the United States.
An act making an appropriation for (he comple
tion of the public buildings in the Territory ol
, Minnesota.
An act making further appropriations for the
construction of roads in the Territory of Minne

j An act to authorize the Legislative authorities
J of the several Territories to control the nppropria
' lions to be made by Congress for the support of
the Government of said Territories.
| Seasoned Apple Trees—We notice at

■ seasoned young apple trees, brought up for sale,
from the nursuries below, and which will be just
as cer'ain to groyv if planted a year hence, as if
planted now. Tho trees are by no means green,

The Sioux Treaties.
Washington, June Bth.

W ashingtun, June 7:1), !552.
’ Dear Sir : —Tho Mmnesotians me, of course,
very impatient at the long delay in the* Senate’s
1 action upon the trcaies. They may he web so,
j for more than six months have elapsed since the
commencement of the session, and the import
>, a nee of the subject to our Territory and the N. rth
r west generally, has been pressed upon the atten
tion ol that dignified body without ceasing. U{>-
1 j on it let tfie responsibility rest, far whatever of
1 injury and wrong may be the result to Mianeso
)l la upon this unreasonable procast in atior; Oir
W estern Senators have made ninny xttempts to
biitig up these measures, but they have met with
unfbrsean opposition from odier quarters. lam
f not at liberty now to divulge what has come to
,my knowledge; hut when the treaties are dispo
j- sell of, the injunction of secrecy will probably be
removed, and the history of events connected
• xritli their fate, whatever that max he in the Sen
-1 ate, will be nmle public. The Deficiency Bill
has h 'on debated for six long weeks bv Senators
1 . to the exclusion ofall other busitv-ss. Now that
, ifle vote has been recorded upon it, there is good
ground for hope that the proceeding* in secret
, session will be resumed, and as the treaties are
among the first n the calendar, that they will be
taken up and ratified. To-day a part of the ses
' sion xx a* spent in the transaction i f Executive bu-
I stness, but our treaties were not reached. There
is every reason .o believe that the Sioux treaties
i x\ a he ratified. Senators have been repeatedly
I told that tinder no circumstance* could the ceded
lands revert to the possession of the Indians, and
I there are very few of them who Jo not acknowl-
I edge the necessity of opening the country west 1
■’ of the Mississippi, within our limits, to settlers
l j I regard the ratification, therefore, in some form
■ or other, as almost a lived fact prospectively.
• j Ihe House has pa*scd a resolution designating
1 the 1 tit 1 1 of August for the adjournment of Con"
: ' gross. '1 he Senate xx ill no 0 iubt concur.
' , Under a .suspension of rules tins day, sundry

j miltee of tho Whole on the state of the Union,

penditure of xx.is discussed briefly, and j
' ' on a demand for the axes and noes upon its pis j
• i "age, the House adjourned. I have xerv little!
. | doubt of its suicess. Ihe Military Reserve Bill
; has not yet been reached in the House
I W’e have had also a scene connected xvitli the
| abominable “Indigent Insane Bill,” which, hav- !
| trig been postponed for two weeks, came up in
Jns regular order to-day. A motion xvas made by j
Orr, of South Carolina, to lay it oh the table, !
which failed; ayes sb, noes 115. Col. Kissel)]!
J ol Illinois, who has charge of the bill, confident 1
• of ns strength, moved the previous question upon
its pissnge 1 desired Imn to withdraw it, that I !
might offer tin amendment, (to grant scrip to the
'old States instead ol land in the Territories.) hut
!he refused I then appealed to the House to vote
| down the previous question, and it very ni.ignani
, mi usly did so, \ the floor accorded to me upon tho
! hill when it again tame up, xv' ieli xx ili not he very
I soon, as it lias gone on to the Speaker' table as
I unfinished bus.ness, and nothing less than a tx-.»
[thirds vote can touch it. \\ hat I most uppre
] bend now is that the same I ill xvlii* It was iniro-
I duced iito the Senate by Gen. Shields, will be
passed tiiere and sent to the House, m which case i
j it 'titty be put through under the operation of the I
previous question. Them is u derided majority
in both Houses in fax ir of the bill, r.ud th > only I
hope of amending or defeating it, wnl he by some
such ruse as has been resorted to already; but ii 1
■ must be confessed there is sliglti hope of repeot- '
ing it in tiie face of u largo and determined ma- !
jjority. I ant constrained in think that our citi
zens, by no means, attach to this bill the import
ance which it deserves. Should it pass in rs
, present shape, it will throw bark our Territory j
tw rity years, hy retarding it* * ttlement,and di’- !
verting the immigration to the States which un
tot cursed hy a like system of foreign proprietor
ship. I did not hesitate to state in the House to- ■
lay, that it would be f< r better tin Minnesota for
( ougress to withhold all appropriations, and leave j
it to xxork out its own destiny, rather than to fix '
such an iiirumhus upon us as tint bill ref. rred to :
i contemplates. It is passing s*range that West* rn ‘
: men xxho are allied to us, or rather should be, hy i
I every tie of sympathy as well as interest, should j
' he found in the fore-front, urging upon Congress !
the passage of a measure which will be so ruin
ous to our Teiritory in its results.
! Fhe political campaign is about commencin'*
Democrats are very sanguine of being able To
swcep fhe field xx itli Bierce Si King, while on tiie
"the/ hand, the Wlqg* profess to be equally ccr
ta.n of carrying tin; day with Gen. Scott as' their
champion. Hi* nomination hy the Whig Coo
