The Minnesota pioneer. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. Territory) 1849-1855, 1851-07-31

Why there 10 nor month In which the Democrat
does not contain dun. Paid Certainly, we are
paid by selling very large extra edition Of the
Pioneer for a month, and the consciousness Of la
boring, not Intellectually, 10 promote the welfare
Of the whole Territory, by advocating The treaty.
This is kind OF reward in which we cordially in
vi,e our neighbor TO participate, il only for the
novelty it will afford him. The Democrat has
also article about the seizures Of pine lumber
Of the editor Of the Pioneer; article about Red
River; half celumn Of discourse concerning the
character and reputation of the people Of our Ter
ritory; Mr.. Fridey's farm at Long Prairie; John
farm IN Benton co.; and variety of other things.
besides pufis, too tedious to mention.
Mrs. Swisshe!m says:
San old Methodist preacher, many years ago,
in nm exhortaion at the close Of camp-mepting,
told about hundred converts that the greatest
service any could render them would be cut
ting their ihroats.'
That was to save them from backsliding
Again, Mrs. Swsshelm says, with courage
10 speak the truth, which is truly heroic):
eve could instaace Presbyterian. one Bap-
list, aud one Methodist revival, all on the most
magnificent scale, and any number Of smaller
ones, which would have remained TO all genera
to.s stupendous monuments Of grace and glory.
! if the church and all the converts had been blown
up the night of the last meeting; but all of
which, in a year after, were q stink in the nosirs
Of all good men. The people had grown good
too fast! The saints were like mushrooms. They
grew up in the nigh, and ilted in the next days
sun, and like the Mushroom they should have
heen gathered early in the morning. We would
rather Christians grow like tho 'Cedars Of
Lebanon and it takes them long time 20 come

The military reserve might be and ought TO be
essentially curtsiledor at least that par, Of ex-
lending so far above the bifurcation Of the Mime
sofa and Mississippi river, ought to be Boomer
lied. if not taken entirely off. 1t ough, also to
be cut down in the bosom from Fountain Cave,
to within half mile of the Fort.
Owing to The cloudy weather, last Monday, the
eclipse of the sun was postponed, it is believed.
Beware Of root-beer; not that there is any dam
,erairy,' as Mrs. Camp would say.
The truth in regard to the climate of Mnneso-
ia, begins to be understood, and all the humbug
about freezing and starving to death in the middle
Of the temperate zone, will die the natural
death Of all rnonsirous lies. The Galena Adyer-
tiser very truly says:
,b.,, I'D,
the fftieth parallel Of ncrth latitude on this CONT
nent, for there it grows in the greatest perfection
and there no such thing as rust, blight, mi!dew,
wevi, worm or bug Is known. And there j! al
tains its highest perfection in pumpness, weight,
and nutritious qualities. Readers familiar only
with the incemency OF the climate above forty
FIVE north, on the Atlantic coast, must no. nudge
Of the summers in forty-6ve, at the point of ST.
Paul. for instance, by the short, foggy. aud
changeable sumunes of 80 days on The Northeast
coast. Probably tie mean Temperature at Con-
cord, N. H., in iatitude 43, nearly equals that
ST. Paul, with the advantage IN favor Of the lat
ter, that rain III winter seldom falls, while in the
other, it almost regularly inteTmits with snow.''
1t was remarked at the Treaty, that the best
looking Indian girls happened TO get the bes,
blankets. Each band made distribution Of its own
+ share of goods. The Indians were perfectly de-
) lighted with the presents they received.
Judge Lambert Of our Probate Court, still
maintains that he has jurisdiction the military
at Fort Smelling, independent Of any authority
derived from the old Territorial law Of Wiscon-
sin. The Judge argues, tina, it is laid down in
Blackstone, that the military constitute one of
nd thrfn in no ind
States has jurisdiction estateS but Court Of
Probate, since we have no Courts Spiritual, and
that military corps is more exempt from his
jurisdiction, than any other corpse. The Judges
of the Supreme Court have decided that Judge
Lamber! has no authority to mprison The CON-
handing officer at Fort Smelling. If bis Honor,
the Judge Of Probate should issue Bench war
t rant and arrest the Judges Of the Supreme Court
for contempt, the clash Of jarring Jurisdictions,
would be more irreconcilable than any thing re-
corded in ''Story's Conflict of Laws
