More Of the Plot.

The evidences Of the foul coalition be-
tween the Abolitionists and the Locofoco
party increase with each succeeding day
In the Western Reserve of Ohio, hereto
fore the impregnabe Gibraltar of Wing
principles in the West, our friends, for
the first time, have been overpowered,
and Locofocos elected to the Legislature
by the combined forces Of the hbolitionists
and Old Hunkers. No man took more
violent ground in favor of the Locofoco
Assembly ticket than did the notorious
Giddings, who has at last thrown off all
disguise and united with our opponents.
The Lorain Argus, Locofoco paper,
gently chideS Salmon p. Chase for not
following in the footsteps of his illustrious
predecessor, Mr.. Giddings, and support
ing the Old Hunker candidate for the Lee
gislature instead Of Mr.. Townsend, who
was the Free-Soi candidate. The Argus
thinks II base ingratitude in Chase, after
the Locofocos had elected him, that he
should go for Free-Soiler rather than
an Old Hunker The following extract
upon this subject We take from the .Argus,
and commend it to the elite of the Union
for his special notice and animadversion.
Will the Union reply whether this is the

that settlers could come in and enjoy the
privileges of American citizens, thousands
of emigrants would come over from the
Selkirk settlement, and enjoy the comforts
of liberty under the American flag. When
this object is accomplished, and the land
west of us is bought of the Sioux Indians,
emigration will flow in SO fast that the
time will not be far distant when Mine
sofa will be knocking at the door for adj
mission into the great sisterhood of States.
So mote it be.
Hon. H. H. Sibley has presented to the
Legislative Assembly of our territory q
slab OF the red pipe stone, which is alone
peculiar to our territory, intended to be
proffered by them to the Washington Mon
ument Association, to be used in the con
struction OF the monument perpetuatine
the memory of the "Father Of his Coun.
try"
Political feeling is beginning strongly to
show itself among our good people. We
were in hopes that for time, if not al
ways, we might stand aloo from politics
within the borders of our territory, but the
two political parties have gone so far as te
hold secret meetings and consider upon
the course to be adopted in future. The
Democrats have called mass meeting OF
the Democracy, to be held here on the
9th of October next. In future, neutrality
fear is thrown aside.

Premature Emulation.

The French organ al Washington induigcs in
the following strain Of eIultation when replying 10
article in the Republic, urging the election Of
majority in the House Of Representatives favorable
to the Administration;
"Why is II that this victorious general fears 10
be thrown into a minority in the first Congress
which be II to encounter MIR Polk came in with
majority Of sixty. General Taylor seemed "a
carry every thing before him, before be took the
oath Of office. Every One conceded 20 him strong
majority in the House until the 4th Of March, but
then came the 'nipping frost"
The Union might have added, that although
"Mr. Polk came in with majority Of sixty" he
went out not only without a majority in the House
Of Representatives, but with the popular voice Of
which the vote Of Pennsylvania bad been obtained
wa fairly disclosed, and the administration Of Mr.
Polk had developed it. policy, the people by accla
nation voted sentence Of deliberate cOndeInna-
ton.
Now, in the case Of General Taylor, no measures
Of public policy have been presented to the country
or 10 Congress, and message exhibiting the pur-
poses Of the Executive has been submitted 10 tho

have taken place thus far, furnish no evidence
against the policy or measures Of the Adnninistrs-
ton, but simply an Indifference 10 a renewal d

September %, lS49.
MEssRs. EDITORS Our territorial legis-
ature has now been in session about four
weeks. According to the provisions Of
our organic act, no one session of the le-
gislature can exceed the term of sixty
days. So far, little has been done and,
judging from the past, one would conclude
that they would SIT out the full time al
lowed, and then not accomplish as much
as more experienced hands would have
done in half the time. But this is all ex-
cusable when it is taken into consideration
that we are young and inexperienced.
The legislative assembly has memorial
lied Congress upon the subject Of improv-
ing the Mississippi river above the Falls
of St. Anthony. This is a matter Of vast
importance, not only TO our young and
growing territory, but to the country at
large. BY removing the impediments on
the Sank and Pike rapids, the father
of waters" could be freely navigated with
steamboats, the distance of at least four
hundred miles above the falls. The gen.
eral government will save vast amounts OF
money by the proper outlay OF few thou
sand dollars, as il will be an incalculable
adv antage in the transportation of thou
sands OF dollars worth OF goods, which are
now annually transported by long and
tedious land-carrisge to the Winnebago
and Chippewa Indians, and the new forts
which are in process OF erection at the
Crow Wing river, Pembina, and other
points above us.
| see it stated by the newspapers that
Ex-Governor Chambers, Of Iowa, and his
excellency Governor Ramsey, OF Mine
sofa, have been appointed commissioners
TO treat with the Sioux Indians for their
lands west of the Mississippi river, in this
territory. Was the Indian title to the
country west of US extlnguisbed, II would
throw open to settlers as rich all agricul.
tural region as exists in the great valley Of
the Mississippi.
The portion of country that is contem.
plated being purchased extends from the
Iowa line northward along the west bank
of the Mississippi to the Watab river,
which is the southern boundary Of the
Winnebago country thence south along
the southern boundary of the Winnebagc
country to the lake at the head of Long
Prairie river thence by line drawn due
south to the Iowa line thence along the
said Iowa line to the place of beginning
say again, if this beautiful portion OF ouI
territory was open for the bold pioneer, a
more desirable country could not be Sc.
lected it abounds in the richest soil, good
timber and plenty Of it, is well watered
and abounds in mineral of the richest de.
scription.
To day quite large deputation of the
citizens of Pembina waited upon Gov.
Ramsey, and requested that some steps
should be taken to encourage emigration
into the northern portion of the territory.
They represented that, were the lands on
Red river within our borders, 50 disposed
