die; die colonists; die slaves; die, it may be,
ANONYMOUSLY, and on the scaffold. Belt so.
Be il so. If il be the pleasure Of Heaven
that my country shall require the poor offer
ing Of my life, the victim shall be ready at
the appointed hour of sacrifice, come when
that hour may. But while do live, let me
have q country, or at least the hope of a
country, and that FREE country.
But whatever may be our fate, be assured,
be assuUed that this declaration will stand.
1t may cost treasure, and it may cost blood;
but it will still stand, and will richly COM
pensate for both. Through the thick gloom
Of the present, ! see the brightness Of the
future, as the sun in heaven. We shall
make this glorious, an immortal day.
When we are IN our graves our children
will honor il. They will celebrate it with
thanksgiving, with festivity, with bonfires,
and Examinations. On its annual return,
they will shed tears, copi0us, gushing tears;
not Of subsection and slavery, not Of agony
and distress, but Of exnltation, of gratitude,
and of JOY.
Sir, before God, believe tho hour is
come. My judgment approves the measure,
and my whole heart is in il. All that have,
and all that hope in this life, am now
ready here to stake upon il; and leave of
as / began, that live or die, survive or
perish, am for the declaration. 1t is my
living sentiment, and, by the blessing of
God, It shall be my dying sentiment; inde-

The EVENING OF THE FoURTH.-There
will be Grand Ball at the American for
merly Rice House. We trust there will be
a large assemblage. Let the occasion be
one Of free interchange Of social feeling, and
of forming acquaintances among our people
of the different localities, who at SO early a
period of the settlement of Minnesota are
necessarily strangers to one another. We
trust that liberal confidence in the good in
tentions of the managers, will render the
entertainment harmonious and agreeable to
every one present.

In another essential, the citizens Of Min
nesota seem to be alive to their own inter-
est. A Locofoco paper in Galena complains
that there are four newspapers in the Ter
ritory, and they all profess to be neutral in
politics, although all the editors are as this
authority styles them, Wings. Now in this;
the editors, in our opinion, manifest good
sense AMI discretion worthy Of all comment
dation. They are striving to build up new
State, on safe, correct and prosperous ba-
sis, and to this end they eschew political
party divisions and dissensions. Their
object, doubtless, is to have the public mind
free and unbiased by party purposes. to act
for the best interest of the whole Territory.
Such a course Of policy, instead of meriting
the sneer of the Galena Jeffersonian, will
receive the appreciation Of all rejecting and
considerable men. 1t evinces a candor and
an earnestness that gives assurance that this
young Territory will soon be one Of the
most glorious and brilliant stars in the Fed
eral galaxy----H. Louis Rep.

MAKING BRIcKs WITHOUT SrRAw.-We
have had during the past week no exchanges
from which to make our usual clippings
Our mail which has been but ,ceakly thus
far, has become SO debilitated that last week
it did not come at all. We learn by the
passengers on the steamboat upon which we
depend for the regular intelligence of the
rest of the world, that the mail was brought
out from Galsna; but as the boat pushed
away from Prairie du Chen the bag was
seen lying upon the landing, without help
ing hand to pass it aboard.

To BE HUNG FOR THEFr.-A negro man,
belonging to the heirs Of Alex. Hutchinson,
was convicted on Friday last, at Piedmont,
Va, of breaking open meat house and
stealing bacon, and was sentenced to be
hung on the 10th Of August next. The
Piedmont Wing well says:
"The idea Of hanging fellow-being for
the crime of stealing is one that shocks every
feeling of humanity. The punishment is
wholly disproportioned to the crime. We
suppose no execution will take place. Why
is the law upon our statute book, if it is too
severe to he enforced!"

A Civilized Iudian.

There stood, leaning against our door-post
the other day, square built, noble featured
young man, whom we took to be Half
breed. By Half-breed is commonly meant
an equal intermixture Of the Indian and
French. He wore a rough-and-ready hat,
nicely srarched calico shirt, good panta-
looms and calf-skin shoes His manners
were so modest and progressing that we
invited Tim in. "Parlez vous francais, %
said we. He shook his head. "Dakota p"
we continued perseveriugly. "No," he re-
piled, in good English. edo you speak
English?" "I do" "You are a Half
breed?" No, am an INDIAN" "Where
do you reside?" "At La Pointe on Lake
Superior" We continued the conversation
until we got the idea clearly into our ciril-
ssed head, that he was a well bred, tolerably
we'll educated, and we'll civilized Indian:
without drop Of foreign blood in his veins.
Our hero introduced himself as George Day.
He is Chippewa; or we might have infer
red from his name that his extraction was
from the stock of the Sioux chief, 4" Hole-in-
the-day. MIR. Day is carpenter; and says
he prefers the pursuits of civilized life to
the chase.
With ten Halfbreeds he had come TO St.
Paul, in the employ of Mr.. H. M. RICE, to
bring down his furs. Their passage was
made down the Mississippi in canoe, and
occupied twelve days. He is the only man
OF his company who speaks English. He
received the elements Of his education at
La Pointe; and afterwards attended school
IN Salem, Columbiana county, Ohio. We
presented him with copy Of the &c Pioneer. %
which he seemed to read with pleasure.

The PUMP.-Within the present week
the citizens of St. Paul have erected in the
lower square pump. Of course nothing
could be more desirable, or to the city more
appropriate. For what is town without
''town pump" 1t is ga church without
bishop! How will a stranger know
when he arrives in our steepleless city un-
less it has the centre marked with pump |!
A town pump is useful on numerous ac-
counts. 1t is the centre exchange, where
merchants and financiers do the fats of COM
merce. 1t is the place for placards of adj
vertisement; reference for details of in
formation upon all doubtful questions-as
when we say, enquire Of the town pump"
1t might do for the stand of temperance
lecturer. 1t might answer as whipping
post for rogues Of low degree; and nigh.
perhaps subserve patriotic purpose as a
ducking engine with which to quench the
heat of over Jealous office-seekers.
