MiHNEsoTA.-Wea are indebted to our.
our delegate, Mr.. MARTIN, for copy Of
the bill introduced by him in Congress,
providing for the organization ofa new ter
,itory of this name. The boundaries pro-
posed are as follows: Commencing in the
|middI&of tho main channel of the Mssis-
|sip] tlxs II ! point where the line Of
npniS latte - degrees and thirty
minutes cross 4 xzsl running thence
rs.t on said saIlads until said
parallel iniersec,s she middle 0f the main
|stannel ofSipoxI vssfI ap the mid
|dls efahe main cban9sg ol said river to its
source, iIisncsi ~ \ direct line 10 The source
Of the main channel Of the Wild Rice river,
thence down said main channel TO its en-.
trance into Red river, thence down the
middle Of the main channel Of said Red
river 10 the point on said river where the
northern boundary line between the United
States Of America and the British posses
sions crosses said main channel Of said Red
river, thence along said boundary line to
the point where said line first strikes lake
Superior at the northwest corner Of the
State Of Michigan, thence along the west
ern boundary Of said State to the point in
the middle Of said lake where the said
boundary is intersecied by the boundary
line Of the State Of Wisconsin, as es,ab-
lished BY the ''Ac to enable the people Of
Of Wisconsin Territory to form constiiu-
ton and Stale government, and for the ad.
mission Of such State into the Union," APP
proved August SIKH, eighteen hundred and
foriy-six, thence along the boundary line Of
said State of Wisconsin to the mouth Of
the st. Louis river, thence up the main
channel of said river 20 the first rapids in
the same above the Indian village, accor-
ding TO NIcollelt's map, thence due south
to the main branch Of the river ST. Creix,
thence down the main channel Of said
river 10 the Mississippi, thence down the
centre of the main channel of said Iiver'.to
the place Of beginning.
The south line Of this new territory is on
about the same latitude ofihe south line Of
Sheboygan county in this territory, and we
presume the new territory comprises all
the advantages Of soil and climate that
Wisconsin possesses. 1t is TO be hoped
that the proposed measure will be adopted,
and we have every reason to believe it
will Certainly while the acquisition Of
territory at the south is going on SO rapidly
the north will noi be SO unmindful
OF he;:h IFS interests and duty, as TO re-
fuse or neglect TO establish this future
state which shall have its influence in keep
ing up the equilibrium Of power. Should
il be done and permanent government
be established in this reg on, it will open
q new field for enlerprize which the spirit
of our people will no, be slow TO avail
themselves of.

o. 1t is believed that the completion OF
railroad from Lake Michigan 10 the Pa
ci6c, as proposed by Mr.. Whitney, would
secure the carrying of the greater por lion
Of the commerce OF the world to American
enterprise, and open to it The markets OF
Japan, of the great empire Of China, Of all
India, (whose import and export trade alone
is estimated a, $500, 100000 per annum)
and Of all the islands Of The Pacific a..d
Indian oceans, together with those Of the
western coast Of Mexico and Son,h Amer
lea. And then how vast its probable ef-
fects upon the moral and political, as well
as commercial, affairs Of the world! In
view Of the magnitude Of the results OF
this great work, the apathy Of The people
Of the country, and particularly of the
west, in regard to il, cannot but be matter
OF sarprize. The governor Of Ohio, We
perceise, in his late message, urges it npon
the attention of the legislature of thai
State in the strongest terms. Among other
things, he says
"Thc feasibility OF MIR. Wmtney's pro.
position is susceptible of easy and plain
demonstration. TO pronounce il visionary
on account Of tho magnitude Of the project,
would evince a forgetfulness OF the vast
achievements Of the age, and a prevalence
Of the benighed prejudice which clouded
the prospects Of the enterprizing benefac
tors Of mankind in ages gone by. The
work proposed is one that will cost the
u. Staes nothing in case of failure; and it
is wholly unobjectonable, even to the most
cautious, in relation TO the grant Of special
privileges by the government.
81, therefore, submit 10 your consideIa-
ton the exped ency Of aiding this mos,
magnificent project Of the age, directly
conectend as il is with the future prospects
and interests Of Ohio, by every legitimate
influence and authority"
Let the whole country speak out in
reference to this great national project,
and the favorable attention ''and action of
Congress will soon be secured to the pro-
position of Mr., Whitney-which is to con-
struct a rail road from Lake Michigan,
through the south pass Of the Rocky
Mountains to the Pacific, for the grant Of
strip Of land sixty miles wide. Thi:
offers feasible and cheap, if not the only
plan, for the early completion of an ave.
nue. from ocean to ocean.

Matters IN MoRMoNpoM.-We have
been favored with the "Star in the East"
monthly pamphlet, published in Boston,
edited by Elder J. Adams, and devoted TO
Mormonism as expounded by Jas j. S,rang
The typographical execution Of the work
is first rate, whatever opinions may be en-
ter,ai.,ed oflhe matter Of it. The ''NoIee
Herald" has been changed 10 Il on's Re-
veille, and is now published weekly at Vo>
rec, edited by John Gicenhow. 1t would
seem from the matter of these publications
that much diific ulty yet exists in the
church, but the pro, bet Strang, lays about
him, with most vigorous pen, and bids fair
to triumph over his enemies and opposers.
new project is on foot among tho Nor
mons. A stake OF the Church, which is to
be the principle stake is TO be planted at
the Big Beaver Islands, near the foot of
Lake Michigan. The prophet, as usual,
when any thing is to be done, has had a
revelation, wherein most wondrous and plea
sing sights of The future prosperity OF the
proposed stake has been revealed TO him.
OF course none will object to 60 there, when
the future has been so delightfully."- laid O.
pen 10 them Bot in a selfish and worldly
point of view, the projected stake is not q
bad idea OF course the position ehec,ual-
ly secures them from such depredations
and expressions az ther suffered at Nauvoo,
and the head Of the church, or prophet, can
rule like king on his throne, a kingdom
of his own. IL the world we're not full OF
humbug and folly, We should take some
little pleasure in laughing at some of the ri
diculous and absurd matters which appear
10 these publications, but as il is, we will
refrain, and laugh when laughing against
humbugs generally becomes popular.
