amendment to the constitution granting powers TO

WISCONSIN TERRITORY.

We have obtained from the Regis
ter's Office in this place, the following
facts, which will be found highly inter-
esting to the citizens of the several
states of the Union who have their at
tention turned thitherwards.
The Wisconsin land district contains
2,245, 942 acres.
There have been sold since the
opening Of the land Office. in October
ls34-551,l9l acres; and there re-
mains to be sold l,695,76l acres.
Of the land denominated MINERAL
LAND, and which the land Offices with
hold from sale, there are about e,loO
acres.
1t may safely be stated that one half
/ of the land in the Wisconsin land dis
trict, is within the mineral ranges
and that of this quantity, not one acre
in hundred las been proven, or dug
upon with view to find lead ore.
In several instances half quarter sec.
tons have been purchased, on which
there were no discoveries of lead ore
at the time of sale, but which, by the
industry and enterprise Of the purcha
sers in searching for lead ore on them
have become worth from 10000 te
10000 dollars.
The above brief statement canno
fail to show every inquirer alta glance
the great importance Of Wisconsin
and its advantages. Its resources il

with any degree Of accuracy, for it.
mining operations have hardly com.
menced, and nothing like system OF
science has yet been resorted to FOL
the purpose of developing its riches.
Aside from the mineral resources q
our territory, what rich and inviting
field is open to our farmers, mechanics
and laborers! At this very moment
when it is stated in the eastern news
papers, that the towns on the seaboarC
and in the interior, contain hundreds o
unemployed men, who can neither fine
labor or money, there is want of mer

by our farmers.
The immigration Of persons whe
come solely for the purpose of mining
has been considerable during the pres
ent season, and many more are expect
ed. twill be a long time before Wis.
consin will have a surplus Of agricul.
iural products; for there can be little
doubt that her mining population will
require for some years, all that he,
farmers, can spare them, besides draw.
ing many thousand dollars worth O
supplies from Illinois. And vet i
may be said, without fear of contradic
ton, that there can be more rich sol
found in the same extent Of territory
than can be found in the Wisconsin

When General Jackson was President, the
Federalists declared that we were in the midst
of a reyolut,on, and that they were whetting
their knives!
Now Mr.. Van Buren, is President, Mr.. Gould
is ready to march to Washington with ten
thousand men, to overturn the Government,
and assassinate the Chief Magistrate of the
country, as suggested by Federal Journal.
Thus has Federalism always croaked and
threatened, since the formation of our confed-
eracy, and even before, whenever its will was
thwarted. But the safety of our Union de-
ponds not upon an individual, but upon the
fidelity Of the democratic party to the. princi-
