ST PAUL, MINNESOTA, October 25, 1851
More Indian Treaties--bfore Land Strides Of
Aiinmesota-- Wonderful Place for Children, &C. &c.
More land, more land, is still the cry. Cover
nor Alexander Ramsay arrived yesterday in st.
Paul, from Pembina- having suc,eeded in nego-
tiating treaty with the Chippewa Indians re-
siding on the Red river Of the North. He, with
number of citizens, AMI escort of twenty-five
dragons, left Ssuk rapids, ninety miles above ST.
Paul, on the 2lst day of August-arrived at Penn
bina on the llth of September, and without much
ificul;y succeeded in making treaty, by which
the United States will be put in possession
of four or FIVE millions of Of land in the valley
Of the Red river of the North. The tract extent Is
thirty miles each side Of the river, and is about
l20 miles in length For this the United States
are to pay $50 COO in cash down, and $4,000 an

to the white man, from Lake superior west to
Pembina.
The party represent the country as one of the
finest grazing countries in the world. They found
buffalo in abundance on the route-killed from

The act organizing the territory OF Wisconsin
was passed m April, ls36. Thst territory then
included the present States OF Wisconsin and
lation then, was ZOO. Now that same region Of
country contains not less than 100000 Inhabitants
with to rms and cities rvalling those OF the East
Now, New York, Philadel 5hia and st. Louis, are
using vigorous efforts to secure the trade OF this
region Reasoning by analogy, what those two
States are now, Minnesota will be, in the space Of
ten or fifteen years. The California fever has
abated- New Mexico is barren, unfit for agricul-
tureMUtah is Mormon, and Oregon the uftema-
thule; but Minnesota has a fine soil, which invites
the farmer-unprecedente water power to allure
the manufacturer fine forests, so enticing to the

health. No pale ague. stricken beings are seen
walking our streets, like spectres-no yellow
vissged human, with quart of bile sticking some

laughing and gigglipg at her rerplexity And then,
The glorious armament high,
And al the blue ETHEREAL sky.
Look at that Aurora Boreals, rising, as it were,
from the North, in all its gorgeous splender see
thofe mock suns, and mock moons, unknown to
more southern lattudes. And when
Chill November surly blasts
Make fields and forests bare,
see the fakes Of snow pouring down, covering the
ground, and protecting the crops of the husband
man. Hear the sleigh bells jingle, jingle, jingle
stop that bold youth, dsshirg along IN his sleigh,
with a buffalo robe around him, and his arm
around-but that's a ,ret, and Pm mum
