Something about Minnesota

Our old friend ID. A. Robertson, form
erly Marshal OF Ohio, and at present editor
of the Minnesota democrat" published
al Saint Paul, gives some very Interesting
infcrmatIon i'll relation TO that new and
fourishing territory in his paper of the
l2ih of March. He says
1.-The progress of Minnesota during the
present year in the towns, and In the
country, will astonish every body. We
have the soil, the climate, and the mark ct
the best market this side of California
in short, every essential to successful agri-
culture. except sufficient number OF far
mers to supply the home demand.

of farmers on the opening of navigation.
They will find plenty of valuable govern
ment land 10 claim, pre-empt or enter, IN
all surveyed parts of the territory, except
within. say, five miles around Saint Paul,
and the immediate vicinity of Saltwater d
ST. Anthony Falls. We regret that all The
public land is not free, in limited quanu-
ties 10 actual settlers only. Yet, as II IS,
farmers will find no difficulty in getting
started and making money, with even but
small means at the commencement.
..An industrious, thrifty. intelligent far
mer or mechanic is certain of success IN
Minnesota. We are not aware of any hon
est business or profession, that is crowded
here, except the legal profession. We

Gen. Scott and his Platform.

A late number of the New York Her
aid says
1.-The movement commenced by Mr..
Clayton, in Delaware, last fall, and fol-
lowed up by Governor Seward and his
school of New York politicians, bids fair
TO make Gen. Scott the especial candidate,
for 1852, OF the free soil and most of the
outside factions of the North. The late
successes of Seward in this State, over
the combined forces of Tammany Hall,
Castle Garden, and the government at
Washington, may also lead to the blending
of the administration in support Of Gen.
Scott as the "'higher law" candidate. As
he now Stands before the country. he is
the man Of all men, for rallying under a
common standard, all the fragments, of all
shades and stripes, OF anti-sIavery and
Native Americ3nisn in the North. His
letter from West Point, IS49, is explicitly
IN favor of the annexation of Canada, and
all the fugitive slaves there-his letter TO

THE ELECTION OF JUDGES.

An elective Judiciary is no longer. if II
ever was a de0ateabie question: II can
scarcely be said 10 have been debated,
without any special notice by either of the
great political parties OF the staie,-wiih
very little disuuion pro or con, the amend
ment 10 the constitution was submitted TO
the vote of the people and adopted with
unanmity which demonstrated its popu-
larity beyond peradventure. AT present
it is an experimental question-not as TO
its duration-but as 10 lis suficiency for
the correction of abuses, imaginary or
real. in The existing system.
All good men desire the success of the
exPerim eut, as well as those who disap-
proved the principle in the abstract, as
those who honestly conceived il suitable
remedy for admitted evils: for surely no
true patriot would directly or indirectly,
aid in producing an unfavorable result
merely TO magnify his own wisdom and
foresight-ihat he might have the piiiful
satisfaction OF saying Il told you SO! L
knew 1t wouldn't work - If such con-
duct is ever Unsuitable, it can only be so
as a means for producing reaction and
repeal. But IN this case the thing is i'm
possible. Were it even true, as some
have presumptuously alleged, that the
people are incapable of selecting their
judges, that incapacity would also hinder
them from seeing that the power of selec-
ton is unsalely lodged with them. So
that whether they be competent or incom-
petent, the power will never be voluntarily
surrendered, and who will venture to
snatch II from their grasps against their
will OF this one thing all men may
rest fully assured, that if this present sys-
tenn is ever changed, it will be by abridg-
ing the Judicial tenure, without impairIng
popular suffrage. The tendency of our
age and country, whether for good or evil,
is to the extreme of Democracy: of which
all men should take no,ice and govern
themselves accordingly.
Acting under these impressions, pro-
pose, Messrs. Editors, with your consent
and assistance, to offer some suggestions
TO the voters of this county, intended 10
produce favorable issue to the great ex-
pertinent. | shall endeavor 10 exhibit the
magnitude of the interests involved; the
difficulties in the way of judicious selec-
tlons, the present constitution of our local
courts, and the materials from which We
are 10 reconstruct them.
A prudent farmer would desire to know
something of the character, abilities and
habits of a tenant who asked the lease of
a cow-pasture on his farm. for term of
ten or fifteen years. He would probably
enquire whether he was meddlesome and
quarrelsome, disposed 10 encroach and
tresPass, able TO repair accidental or inten-
tional damages when suffered, whether he
was in the habit of leaving the bars down
and the gates open, and OF putting yokes
on his troublesome cattle, whether he
would bear his portion in keeping up the
division fences, and paying the taxes, &c,

Gen. Cdss IN B,faio.-Gen. Cass al
tended the dinner of the ST. Patrick So
ciety, in Buffalo, or the 18th inst. and in
reply 10 a complimentary toast, delivered
an eloquent speech.
He alluded in an effective and beautiful
manner TO the characteristics of the Irish
people-to their unbounded hospitality
their ardent love of liberty, and TO the
many and striking evidences of greatness
and genius exhibited by them as orators,
statesmen, poets. generals. ect. He paid
an eloquent and handsome compliment 10
the valuable services rendered by Irish :
men in the cause of American Liberty du-
ring the Revolution and The last war, and
10 their warm attachment 10 the Union.
He spoke briefly but in an impressive
manner, of the crisis through which this
country was passing. He invoked adhe
renee 10 the glorious Union al every sac
rifce. His allusions to the Importance of
the preservation OF the Union TO the cause
of Republicanism throughout the world
was received with great appreciation. In
short, his entire remarks were well wor-
thy of his distinguished reputation. and
were received with the liveliesi marks OF
approval. He concluded by offering the
following sentiment:-
Ireland: May her sons soon cease 10
need a land of refuge in forces country:
but while they do need one may they find
il in the United States, and be received
with open hearts and arms by the Amer

antiquity Of drinking heGlths.-The
practice of drinking healths is one of
great antiquity. The ancient Hebrews
were in the habit at the festive board of
adopting this token of good will. A large
cup was then used, and the father. or he
who presided at the table, first drank and
then passed it. The Romans initiated
the custom: First they drank to the nine

objects which made an uneven number.
