upon the canal lands under present circumstances.
1t cannot be the town of Milwaukee, for certain
it is that if the canal lands sold shlings,
per acre instead of twenty, so as to induce an I'M
mediate settlement and improvement of the same,
the commercial importance and wealth OF Milwau-
kee would be much more rapidly advanced than by
any system of legislation that would seem to retard
the settlement of land lying contiguous thereto;
notwithstanding great water power might be secu-
red by the commencement of the canal as well as
important present advantages to many of her clt-
Zens.
Commerce and the growth of her towns, will
take care of themselves, and always keep pace with
the settlement of the country, 1t is an lnvarlabe
law in all commercial transactions, that the supply
and the demand go together.
But what am most surprised at in this affair is
that the Legislature should have pledged the faith
of the Territory, for the purpose OF fostering this
work, when our next door ghbor states had rea-
red monuments of folly so high, as to gaxe with the
greatest possible astonshuent at their proceedings
Should not high sense of propriety restrain the
Legislature from any further such proceedings
They may rest assured that the people of Wiscon-
tering away their rights and earnings in specula-
ton of folly. The proper method for redressing
the evils this hasty and prohigate system of legisa
ton has brought upon us, is, | think, to petition
Congress to remoddle the whole affair, and reduce
the minimum price of every alternate section from
twenty shillngs to ten shings ger acre, and allow
tho territory of the proceeds of the land granted
for the canal tn construct turnDike rail road
at such time they shall think proper hereafter
Such law this will seem much more consonant
with the idea of gift to the territory.
And as we are now situated, circumstances
| seem to call for some action of Congress on this
subject, for it will be recollected as the law now
stands in relation to the public lands, the Terrific
ry stands charged with one hundred and seventy
thousand acres of land, as gift, to be deducted
out of the five hundred thousand acres we are to
receive when we come into the Union, as State,
for the purpose of internal improvement so that
by paying double the price for the same quantity of
land granted for the Canal, we pay for the gift
which is no gift at all, and receive one hundred
and seventy thousand acres less than we otherwise
should it not for this canal law.
! Having thus freely expressed what believe to
be the opinion of a great majority of our citizens
throughout the Territory, who have made them
selves acquainted with the subject. | would beg
leave in closing, to suggest to the Canal Company
and the citizens of Milwaukee and the Territory,
the propriety of memoralizing Congress through
our Legislature, for such modification of this Ca
nal law as justice seems to demand
! A CITIZEN THE TERRITORY.

Messrs. Editors :-Sirs,-In late number of the
Southport American an article appeared setting
forth the rise and progress of our Territory; among
other things, the peculiar advancement of Racine
county; 1t is truly gratifying that in the general the
American is correct, but wish to correct one err
roneous impression contained in the article alluded
to, IN speaking of the erection of mills, &C., at
Rochester. Said mills are being erected at Water
ford and are miles north of Rochester, on the
large and splendid water power on Fox river ,own-
ed by Messrs. Barnes & Chapman.

% We see it stated in the papers that grand
ball was to be given to the Prince de Joinville at
the Faneui Hall, Boston, on Monday past the Sth
inst. 1t is but a few weeks since the Prince was
at Green Bay, on the road, as reported, to the
Rocky Mountains. We can only conclude that if
he accomplished this latter purpose, and was pres
ent at Boston on the 9Th, that he did it in most
surprisingly short space oftime The Prince is not
the only foreigner who started for the Rocky
Mountains, but never got beyond the Mississippi
Capt. Marryatt, few years SINCE was on the
same route, with the same proclaimed intention :;
and got, we presume, about as far. We rather
think these foreigners do not calculate sufficiently
the perlls and fatigues of such journey-and the
toretase which they get between Green Bay and
the Mississippi, appears to dampen all disposition
to penetrate farther west But they probably travel
as much for glory, as any thing else it sounds
about as well at home, and it matters not if thew
go through the country with rail road speed and
closed eyes,-they will be looked upon with equal
wonder by the denizens of St. James and ST. Cloud.
