S*3u C«pt» of the Journal.in wrappers tor mailing,
may now be had for live rents.
Hereafter we expect to give our readers the Jot knal
every week, instead of every two week-. We believe
that ihu indications are favorable both at borne and
abroad, that the commercial distress is ended, and that
prosperity is returning to the laud. \Vp have faith in j
this—enough, at least to undertake what we intended;
to have done last year, and which the unexpected mone
tary ]troubles pifveoteil-r-make our paper useful to our j
subscribers, and an exponent of the progress of our,
town and State.'» Ik-undertaking this we impose- with
confidence iu friends, and nil who are interested in the j
prosperity of Ninincvr, that our exertions will be met l
with corresponding encouragement, until the improving
state of affairs shall assume its wonted strength.

Tbe, Incorporation ol our City.
We are requested to state that on Saturday evening),
next, at 8 o'clock, a meeting of our citizens will be held;
at the Tremout Hall, to take the preparatory steps fori
obtaining a City Charter. A draft of a Charter will be \
read for amendment and adoption by our citizens. We j
need scarcely enforce upon our people the importance of*
.. ' . v„> a
trus matter. • n . t
Mnlnger vs. Hasting*. ‘j
We suggested iu our last that *good tight,might serve
to enliven a tedious winter, and it seems the Hasting?)-
Independent is of the same mind. We must beg, how-j
ever, that the fight*if fight there i# to be, w»M be a!
clean, and au intellect mil one. li we arc to take tcrstijj-1
suatizing each other with words that are fbrbidden'by the
rules of polite society, and that make their appearauce j
in print only in the shape of initial letters and dashes,)
we must decline the contest. We huyo vividly before ■
, * T' « j- <,v j '*■
us the trmplet of Hudibr'as
• Quoth he, that man is sure y lose,
That soils his hands with dirty foes.’
We have no disposition to find ourselves at the end of’
the contest in the condition 6f the chevalier'tint enter- j
ed int-> a rough-and-tumble fight with the sweep,--al- j
though he cauie off victor he was so begrimed with filth
that bis best fViends did not know him. Decency, de
cency, Mr. Independent; ‘Assume the virtue though
you hart; it not,’ and avoid all words that cannot be
printed.
Let us premise a little. First: A large portion of
the people of llantingaw^reject highly and would de
sire always to retain ttieir*good opinion. ‘We haVfe found
among them some of the very first, of wtstern P eo
liberal,'enrei prising, inrelligenf rfM higtf minded. Some
few of them we count among our friends. Even
the Editor of the Independent before he commenced to
quote his profane ball against 08 we looked upon as one
of the best men in the county. This contest has not
been begun by us. We have uniformly treated Hast
ings wit i courtesy ; we have proffered the hand of
friendship to her; we have toasted her at our public
dinners; we have poured the unction of flattery over
her, and her name has been received with rapture ot ap
plause by our people. We sought to make d pair of
Siamese twins of the two towns, with the Hastings
branch of the NiuiDgcr and St. Peter Railroad as the
vital ligature between them. But alas! the Dakota
Serenades and the Hastings Independent with rude
haud have severed the cord of life, and all our visions
of a new Chicago must be indefinitely postponed, to the
.serious detriment of Elder Cressy’s farm.
In the next place : When we challenged to combat
'the whole host of Hastings,
‘ Cast the gauntlet down at once,
To northern wit and southern dunce,"
we expected, as we before said, that the contest would
be conducted in accordance with the regulations of civil
ized warfare, and unless it is so conducted we cease at
once. A discussion such as is already commenced in
the Nininger Journal may serve to draw out the merit*
and advantages of both places before the public eye;
one such as is begun by the Independent would only
s rve to illustrate billingsgate and furnish a new argu
ment for the establishment of Sunday schools.
‘ Immodest words admit of no defence,
f Or want of decency is want of sense/ »
Casting a critical eye over the article of the Independ
ent we find little to take hold of. He compliments u*
on our rapid growth and commends our energy. May
his shadow never be less ! He regrets that the Dakota
Serenaders have disturbed our equanimity, but hopes
that it may serve the same purifying purpose that the
winds do to the ocean, ‘ keep us from stinking ’ This
highly classical allusion we receive in good part, and con
gratulate ourselves that it was not accompanied by a few
half printed expletives. We must add, however, that
as the Serenaders were yo doubt instituted to afford the
same humane relief to Hastings, and as they have been
performing their deodorising functions in their midst
without avail for soaie jime past, we .may be pardoned
if we hesitate to take the recipe. Wfe are much of life
same mind with the youth who finding inscribed on a
tomb stone the couplet:— „ , . „ „ * ,
‘ Oh, Christian friend, when this you see,
Prepare for *4 e#th Im/v f; •«! ft r i
Wrote under it:—
‘ To follow you, we’re uot content,
Unless we know which way you went.’
In the same spirit Wtl must decline adoping the Dakota j
Serenaders as a new element in onr Pharmacopi®,--until j
we see it work a cure where first established. In the#
mean time we would recommend the liberal, ns* q»ij
chloride of lime in the streets of Hastings on dpy%
and we know not if it would be amis* to sprinkle a lit
tle over the Serenaders themselves !
The choicest part of the whole production is contain
ed in the following lines : ■"* .
‘We do not claim to be your rivals. We hold that
our city occupies a position which will not for a moment
tolerate the idea of entering on the lists with a village
whose population at most does not exceed seven hun
dred. We shall ever commend the enterprise that übwr
acterizes the people ot Nininger, but the idea of her
ever becoming our yival is too much like Brooklyn vis

where towns date their ancestry from the., flpqd, »4.d
where they grow at tlie rate of one per cent, ppryeoij.,
Mark the position pi things. In September. 1856,
just sixteen months ago, the town of Nininger number
ed about a dozen people, now it numbers *J. ! '*ut seven
hundred ; and because it has met with each a suddpn
rise, carried away hy its own success, it presumes to en
ter into the lists with a town which bad two thousand
people in. it when Nininger started, and has ever sipcq
with solid consistency stuck to the same number.
We would ask the Hastings Independent which .will,
win the race, the race-ho»he or the mile-stone ? We
would also propound for its solution this preblem : Is
u town that advances with rapidity to be (Jeyrped the
rival of a neighboring town that stands still with rapid
ity ? Also this : Nothing multiplied by itself for one
year equals seven hundred. ‘How long will it take sp\eo
hundred multiplied by itself to equal two thousand ?,.
When the Hastings Independent has solved jhese
questions we may have a few words more to say. In

Notwithstanding -the unpleasant state of tho weather
and bad' of the streets, the turn-out at the
'Meeting last Monday ev ningVas highly
lo'tjie LyeeU' cv the room was So full ps to make it- ne-
to have larger quarter* provided.. The change
ej jo-' U will not take place, however, until after next
meetiiig nigbt; the s«vie*y wi 1 therefore meet as usual
in Truuiwnt Block, nest Monday evening.
Soifie delay occurred in opening the meeting by *he
absence of the worthy Presioent and Vice
After calling the society to order, and
the - mm* pwliiuinary
the chairman : nnimpcyd that aq gasay would he read
by .fos. HThe then came
forwtjrd .oyd puy ob'tbe jitsual ’ common.place
and silly r excuses, usual on such occasions, stated that,
he would iuvife ths attention'of the audience for a few
minutes to some remarks on ‘ Human Natyre. and 1. u
man Passions.'
The*subject*’*twftf handled ‘With great, skill, and its
prac ical,bints were of a kind to be usefully applied in
every-d*y lifo; the gentleman sought rather to instruct
than amuse his hearers, awd the satisfaction express 'd
by them ‘justified 1 bis expectations, that his efforts wore
apprtsended*. We cannot speak of the subject just now.
but. expect to present it in full at some future time.
The debuts followed the reading of the essay; the
question for the evening, “Is the Doctrine of Popular
fio*ereignty iu its extreme bearing, tenable ?” was then
stated, aud the chair called Mr. Donnelly,to the floor
as the leading diaputaut on the affirmative side. Mr.
D.. preferred to assert, iu opening the debate, that the
.position be was to ma’n’ain was impregnable, and' was
the foundation stone of our government, and inherently
jhst and righty and in maintaining this, it was for his op.
pbuents, and not him, to show that the doctrine he ad
vocated had aay extheme beating that' ’was- Untenable,
Mr. Bfiswjek, then .led off on the negative side, tak*
, ground' tlnit popular Sovereignty in its extreme
tendency was a, fallacy—;^^hsurdity.; t he cited the
position of Kansas where the majority at one time bad
mado iaws to maintain their authority after ahother and
i-larger influx of emigrants should have placed the con-!
I trol in the hands of their opponents. In this case an
I accidental majority might make laws that should give)
,i the power forever thereafter in the hands of a minority •
—and they could by enacting odious laws drive from j
! their borders the large class who might seek to enter j
| and form different institutions. Contaminating vices |
and vije practices ta.uld at any time be established by j
an >.?treme interpretation of the doctribe nf Popular j
' Sovereignty, by a fow misguided or wicked parties, and I
"forever hold in lawless subjection a large territory— r- j
cases that were to be cited' 1 in the career of Kansas
and
trine that were.untenable- i *
n Several ToUdwied on either side, but they
had evidently leftilLa main weight of the argument to
be advanced hy
say was to carry points already stated, without
aiding in the exposition of the question.
Mr. Donnelly rejoined, and with adroit language ap
peared to have disposed of all the;objections ; and from
them even sought to strengthen bis own side. A new
speaker, by permission, gave it as bis view, that a mob
might over-ride constitution and laws, because in a tem
porary majority, and were justifiable, if the doctrine ol
the affirmative were right. This and kindred illustra
tions were disposed of by the affirfliative as excrescences
—warts and wens on a Well formed body—and not pro
perly pertaining to the system.
Bm a declaration of one gentleman on the affirmative
could not be overcome : he thought that the abolitionists
should not be allowed to rule even if they were in the
majority. When the question qu the merits of the de
bate was put to the audience, it was given to the uega
, tive.
Some fine sallies of wit and repartee enlivened the
debate, and caused peals of laughter froui the audience.
So delighted were they all that the hour of eleven ar
rived before they broke up. Seventeen new members
were added to the Society.
The following question was selected for next week’s
. Rebate, “Is Capital Punishment justifiable ?” Dispu
tants—J..H. Carle, affirmative ; Anthony -Reed,- nega
tive —with six assistants on each side.
Henry Caleff . was invited and accepted to deliver au
essay at the next meeting.
Among the audience were some ladies, many others
were deterred from venturing out on account of the
that had just fallen.
