REMOVAL or MARSHAL TILDEN.

This is an act that is deeply regretted
BY at least nine-tcnths of the people Of
Minnesota. While all agree that the gen.
!leman appointed in his stead is good
citizen, an honorable upright man, and
thoroughly qualified to discharge the du-
lies of the office, yet they were satisfied
fully satisfied, with things as they were,
md desired no change. Mr.. Tilden has
had charge Of the Marshal's office for two
years, having, as deputy, attended to all
IF Col. Mitchclls business up to the
time of. his own appointment. During
the whole of this time, we have never
heard whisper of complaint against him.
His business intercourse with the people
of all parts of the Territory, has been of
the most pleasant and agreeable charac-
ter.
Mr.. Tilden has been removed without
himself, or any Of his friends, having the
least intimation of what his offence is
This satisfies us that the charges against
him must have been made by his political
enemies, who have acted in the most Sc
cret and cowardly manner in order to ac-
complish their end. No man friendly to
the administration in Minnesota, desired
his removal, and none of IFS opponents,
save the little knot of g Democratic lead
ers" who manage the affairs Of the " or
ganization." We feel sure the President
had some grounds of removal, or he never
would have acted. What were these
grounds, and whence did they cmenate ?
This is question every man in Minneso-
ia is anxious to have answered. Let lis
know all about it.

Secretary Wikin has been qualified,
and will assume The duties of his office at
an early day. The rumor that other re-
movals are to be made in the Territory,
we do not credit.
We are now having the delightful In

climate.

SECRETARY yyILKIN.

No man in Minnesota is more of gen.
eral favorite with her people, than the
gentleman upon whom the President has
conferred the second office in the Terrific
ry. He has the ability, the industry, the
honesty and the address to make first
rate officer. Had our people been called
upon to elect Secretary, we have not
doubt that Captain Wilkin would have
been largely their choice. Few men have
done more for Minnesota, and particular
ly the town of St. Paul, than he. He has
never been an office seeker, since his res
idence among us. Although often impor-
tuned to be a candidate, he has always
quietly set aside his claims for the benefit
OF friends. He was not an applicant, in
any sense Of the word, for his present po-
sition. 1t was voluntary offering on the
part of the President, 70 the merits and
qualifications of the man.
Secretary Wilkin is, we believe, ma
tive of Orange county, New York. He
Is son of the Hon. Samuel ]. Wilkin.
who has served with great credit in Con-
gress, and in the Legislature of that State.
He (the elder Wilkin) was the Wing
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, on the
ticket with Mr.. Fillmore for Governor.
IN the disastrous campaign of 1874. 1t is
good trait in Mr.. Fillmore's character.
that he does not forget his friends.
In lS47, Secretary Wilkin received a
captains commission in one of the ten re-
giments, and served with the highest
honor upon Gen. Taylor's line until near
the close of the war, when he resigned
and returned to his home. In the spring
Of lS49' when the Territory of Minneso-
ia was organized, he resolved to cast his
lot in this new land. He arrived here in
the month of June, and instantly became
one of our most active and useful c;t;-
zens. So he has continued ever since.
Another thing which pleases the Min
nesotians,is that the President has respect
ed their home claims and appointed one of
as to this responsible office. If there be
anything that we are really sick of, it is
of1icia! importations. We hope and be-
lieve that branch Of trade is ended in
Minnesota.

PUBLIC OPINION.


1t is common expression, that public
opinion is never wrong. We do not en-
dorse. the truth of this hypothesis. Ii
would be more correct'to say, that public
opinion is never wrong, when the subject
matter, or question, upon which its action
is required, is properly and fairly placed
before the people. 1t is the saving salt
Of the American Republic, that her people
are an honest people. They may be de-
ceived and led astray for season; but
they will return to the path of their duty
the moment the light breaks upon their
minds. They will not uphold wrong if
they know it. To illustrate:
Towards the close of the session Of the
last Legislature of Minnesota, a number of
its members, and other persons who had
an opportunity of knowing the facts, be-
came convinced, that C. X. Smith, then
and until recently Secretary of this Ter
ritory, was guilty of official misdemeanors
which should remove him from Office
They charged SO in petitions sent to the
President. But great many of our peo-
pie were honest doubters of the truth of
the charges; and they demonstrated by
hundreds against his removal. This was
five or six months ago.
But what is the state of public opinion
here at this time? Quite the contrary.
The news of the Presidents action in the
premises reached here on Wednesday last.
Since that time, we have had an opportt-
nifty of conversing with and hearing from
the people in all the settled parts of the
Territory. And we state it as fact which
cannot be controvertcd, that the removal
of Secretary Smith is universally appro-
bated. This act of the Administration
meets with the highest commentator on
the part off, our entire population. Presi-
dent Fillmore has shown them, that what
ever attachment public officer may have
to the political principles upon which his
Administration is based, he will not up
hold him in doing wrong; and they award
the President all credit for his course.
Thus should it ever be; and thus wiH
it ever be, SO long as we have man at the
head of our national affairs who is not
afraid to do right. This brings to our mind
the following highly pertinent paragraph,
which we find in the Washington Repub-
lie of the 10th inst:
"Mr. Fillmore has adopted the rule Of
policy that his administration should be
carried on with the single reference to the
public good. Heis resolved, regardless of
all personal consequences, to carry out the
Constitutional rights of all the sections of
the Union, and that the honor and good
faith of the country shall be maintained
inviolate, regardless of the temporary pop
ularity of his administration. He has en-
tered into no covenants, made no commit
tails, and seeks no rewards. The choice
for a'candidate for the Presidency will be
left to the unbiased action of the Wing
party in Convention"

The CHOCTAwS.-SOme interesting
statements in relation to the Choctaw
Indians were made by the Rev. Mr..
Bylngton, who has laborcd among the
Aborigines as a Missionary for thirty
years. The condition of the Indians
was never more hopeful. There are
four tribes, the Cherokces, Chicasaws,
Choctas, and Creeks, clustered togeth-
er in the Southwest corner of the Union.
All have missionaries, all have schools
all bar out whiskey and call out the
gospel. Great improvement have ia
ken place in the social condition of the
tribes. Law has become settled act
OF justice; marriage is respected, and
rendered legally binding; property and
life are secured by just laws we'll adj
mlnlstered. There is still, however,
want Of missionaries, and the field
is wide. -Four hundred children are
IN the Christian scools, and the church
members number two thousand. OF
this number twelve hundred are in the
Presbyterian, one thousand in the
Methodist, and about two hundred in
the Baptist congregations IN. Y.

We are happy to inform the "organiza-
ton people, that if full vote was BOILED
at Pembina, the returns will show quite
enough to entitle them to all the repre-
sentation allowed by the apportionment
law. Norman w. Kittson will probably
be Councillor, and Joseph Rolette and
Antoine Gucrgon, Representatives. They
can all "read and write," and will show
themselves not to belong to an ignorant
horde of savage hunters" who drag out a
miserable existence by Grading in babies

OWLS.

Minnesota produces some s:rare birds"
fledged and unlledged, but the greatest
curiosity in this line we have seen, is a
snow white owl, shot in the neighborhood
of Sank Rapids, and brought to St. Paul
recently, by our friend, C. w. Babcock.
He certainly must have been terror to
hen roosts in his time, as his claws are
over an inch in length. and he measures
four feet six inches from tip to tip Of his
wings. BY the way, speaking of owls,
reminds us Of the following " good 'un,''

last week. 1t seems that the law only
allows cartridges and quails to be sold,
eaten, or held in possession in any way,
from some time in October until January.
Yet there are certain persons who defy
the law, and serve the birds under the
name of 'OwLs.' Well, not long ago, al

Return If Gov. Ramsey.

Inc uraSOOnS VINO accompanied the
Governor to Pembina, returned to Fort
Smelling on Friday last, and on Monday,
about eleven o'clock, the numerous friends
of our worthy Executive were delighted
to take himself and those who accompan-
led him, by the hand. The party was abb
sent only ten weeks: and in that time,
Travelled upwards of twelve hundred
miles, going and returning, besides con-
summating the important business of the
expedition, in the highly satisfactory
manner already made public.
Their route lay to the west of the Red
River of the North, until they struck the
Pembina river, which they followed to
its mouth. This is the site Of Mr.. Kit
sons old trading post, the place where
the treaty was made. They returned by
the same route.
The party, soldiers and citizens, all re-
turn in the most robust health, though
somewhat bronzed by exposure to the
weather. Their horses stood the journey
home remarkably well, considering the
grass was very much cut down by the
frost. DR.. Foster lost his horse day or
two out from Sank Rapids, which was
the only one lost by the Governors party.
The soldiers lost two, we believe.
Game in abundance was found on the
route, both going and coming. Buffalo,
elk, bear, geese, du cks and brant were
killed in much greater quantities than
could be used. Buffalo were more plcn-
ty on the return than in going out.
Thousands lined the prairies during sew
eral days travel. From sixty to hun
dred were killed by the party, and any
number could have been taken. Hugh
Tyler, Esq, killed a large fat cow with
his pocket pistol.
DIR. Bond, who from his close observa-
ton of meteorological subjects: has earned
the title of clerk Of the weather, informs
us that the first frost which nipped vcgc-
tation in the valley of Red river, occurred
on the Goth Of September. -Four days
previous, he gathered flowers, fresh and
blooming, in the gardens at Pembina. On
Tuesday week, about one hundred miles
west of Sank Rapids, they encountered a
snow squall.
All the party speak in the highest terms
Of the country over which they passed,
and of the hospitable entertainment they
received at the hands of the people on
both sides the line. The attentions of
the Hudson's Bay factors and clerks, and
the people Of Selkirk settlement generally,
and warmly alluded to. The former ac-
counts are confirmed, that they are fru-
gal, hardy and industrious people, sur
rounded by all the comforts of life that
can be attained in that remote region.
The arduous Indian services allotted TO
Gov. Ramsey are now completed, and he
returns to the bosom of his family and
friends to receive the hearty congratula-
tions Of honest men of all parties.

a SINGULAR AFFAIR.-Durinc the
recent political campaign in Nova SEQ
tia party feeling went to such extreme
lengths as to disturb in many instances
the peace and good order of large com
munltles. One of the acts of the tory
or conservative party was to hang il
cffigy the leader of the liberals, which
was done by suspending the figure from
the end of an old saw-mill.
Within three days of the time of per-
forming this sill y act, the men who lent
the clothes in which the cf1igy was
dressed, and oliciated as hancman OF.

act is not known.
