From the Philadelphia North american Of yesterday
President Fillmore and Gen. Scott.

We are permitted, by the gentleman to whom it
was addressed, to make public the following ex-
tract from n letter of President FILLMORE, dated
the President had received from warm personal
friend and jealous supporter, on the subject of the
late Wing nomination at Baltimore. 1t breathes
the right spirit, and is alike honorable to the wri
ter and the illustrious nominee. This letter
obviously not intended for publication and would
most probably never have seen the light but for
the calumnious rumors lately circulated. by the
enemies of BOTH that the President was DESTROYS Of
defeating Gen. Soorr's election; a rumor contra.
dicted by the whole tenor of the Presidents life.
II s for the purpose Of doing him justice, and in
the full persuasion that he desires no conceament
Of his sentiments the subject in question, that
the receiver of the letter ventures TO make known
those sentiments expressed by the President
himself in the freedom of friendly intercourse.

was not disappointed, nor had any thing to
regret, in the result of the Baltimore Convention.
The appreciation which that convention expressed
of the policy which had pursued, in the rcsolu.
tons which it adopted, was more gratifying to me
than to have received the nomination. tx
cannot doubt that General Scott intends to
carry out the principles of the Wing party in good
faith II elected and il seems to me that he s Justly
entitled to tho support OF every true Wing. am,
therefore, gratifed to learn from your letter that
you intend to give him a cordial aud hearty sup

"A young lady of fifteen. living at
Rawley's Bay, while walking with ano-
ther young lady, saw wolf a short dis
tancc off, watching deer that it had dIi-
ven into the lake. With courage rarely
equalled, she drove the wolf away, and
wading into the lake, brought the deer on
shore by the ear; but after petting him a
short time, tho ungallant fellow made Sc.
veral attempts to get away, aud finally
carried matters so far as to knock her
down and tear her dress, when, becoming
Justly incenscd at such behaviour, she
took stone and dashed out his brains
the wolf all the time standing at short
distance of silent spectator of the fight
in which he took no further part than by
showing formidable row of teeth occa'
sionally. to show his disapprobation of hei
interference.

THE IVY IN THE DUNGEON.

81 BB CHARLES xAcK1x.
The ivy in o dungeon grew,
Unfed by rain, unchecred by deWi
Its pallid leaflets only drank
Cave moistures foul, and odors rank.
But through the dungeon-grating high
There fell sun-b beam from the sky;
1t slept upon the grateful floor
In silent gladness evermors.
The ivy felt tremor shoot
Through all it's 4ibres to the root;
1t felt tho light-it saw the ray
1t strove to blossom into day.
1t grow, it crept, it pushed, it clumb-
Long had the darkness been its home;
And in the currents Of the air
Its tender branches Aourished fair.
Itreached the beam it thrilled curled-
It blest the warmth that cheers the world
1t rose towards the dungeon bars-
It looked upon the sun and stsra.
it felt the life Of bursting Spring,
1t heard the happy sky-lark sing,
1t caught tho breath Of morns and ewes,
Aud woosd the swallow to its leaves.
BY rains and dews and sunshine fed,
Over the outward wall it spread;
And in the dAy-dream waning free,
1t grew into . steadfast tree.
Upon that solitary place
Its verdure threw adjoining grace;
The mating birds became its guests,
And sang its praises from their nests.
would'st know the moral of the rhymsi
Behold the heavenly light and climb!
TO every dungeon comes a ray
OfGod's interminable day.

CoNsrnUcT1oN or THE LIQvsR Law
We have always supposed that Statute shoa'd
be so construed as to give effect, fpos'b!e. to al
its provisions; but some Of our smart lawyers y
Saint Paul, advise differently. They would IKE
to nulIify the final, (2lst) section Of the Act
The time fixed, for the main features Of the law,
10 90 into operation. j. the FIRST Of May; after the
return of the vote taken on the question by the
people; bat to construe the 2ist section Of this
law, not to be absolute and entirely Independent,
in its operation, preceding the LIST of May, would
be making nonsense Of it. This section, was
clearly mendaiory upon the Commissioners, nnd
expressly binding upon them. from and after It's
passage and approval by the Governor. however
the people might vote upon the main question II
might with just the same reason be construed that
the election itself, provided for in the Act, TO be
held on the LIST Monday in April, was not man
da,orv, absolute provision of,he Act, Independent
of the popular vote, for or against the main fea-
lures ofthe law. ts.f
These Mans6elds Of the St. Paul bar, would
construe the law thus:
LIST. All intoxicating liquors shall be prohibited
from importation or sale 10 this Territory, after
,hs Ist day Of May next
I'd. There shall be an election held on the first
Monday of April, at which the qualified electors
shall vote yes or no, on the question Of adopting
This laws and if majority vote yes, the law sha j
take effect and operate from and after the LIST day
of May.
Sd. No licenses shall be issued by the County
Commissioners or by town Corporations, for a
period of time extending beyond the Isl Of Ma.
next.
4,h None Of the provisions Of the preceding
sections, shall take effect (that is, there shall b.
no exclusion Of liquor, no election Of the people
held on the question, and restrain, upon thu
issuing of licenses for year to Gomez until nfte
this law is approved in the way provided in ih'
foregoing I'd section, by the popular vote.

kind of little petilfogsing, not beneath con

To the Public.

! We ask the friends of Minnesota, who desire a
journal devoted to the best interests OF this Terri
tory, and conducted with as much industry as it
is possible for one man 20 bes,ow upon a newspa-
per, to subscribe for the Pioneer. Next week, we
shall commence Volume Four. Those who sub
scribe for The next volume, will receive this num-
Der gratis. We have in readiness, and are about
TO publish ia the Pioneer, historical sketches Of
Minnesota, prepared with great research, by q
gentleman Of erudion. 1t is useless 10 make
promises The public have assurance in our for
mer exertions as journalist that shall hold
faithful mirror up to Minnesota, to reflect its true
Impress and image upon the world To those
who are indebted to US, we can say with the ut
most truth, that our labors have not been largely
rewarded; and that there was never a time " hen
prompt payment Of all that is due at this Office,
was more indispensable 10 relieve US from embar-
rassment, than now.
FRESH TENDERLINEs.-The work oxen now
being driven down from the pineries, the butcher
shops Of St. Paul are again supplied with beeves
Their yo,es, sawed up, are about as tender stakes
as any part Of the animal. Slices Of sled tongues
for soup, would probably be cheaper; and OK
chain links, rather more substantial food; and
quite as juicy and palatable. The choicest pieces
Of the animal, between horns and hooks, sell at
ten cents.
CoNrRABANp or NOT :-Will it be admis-
sible, after the LIST Of May, when our liquor law
takes effect, for the mails to bring into this Terri
tory, "rhc Spirit Of The Times!
Again: Is John Orth's 81. Anthony beer an
Intoxicating liquor'"
THE MArLs.--No mails for long tme--not
a scrap Of news; except that the DIR. Franklin
No. 2, came up to Lake Pepiu last week and re-
turned; but sent no mail up to US. We are now
hourly expecting boats.
SUPREME COURT OF THE Y. S.-Amongst
the admissions at Washington, are Charles Sex
ton of Willow River. Wis, and Geo. L. Becker,
aud X. r. Nelson, Of ST. Paul, This is the same
bar at which Daniel Webster and Reverdy John
son practice.
LOOKING FOR BoArs.-We are all anxious
ly looking out for boats; but those who will con-
slider the terrible cold that has oil winter been
conseafng Lake Pepin, especially as there was
little or no snow on the ice, to prevent it from
freezing, are not surprised that navigation opens
SO late. Many bets are pending the time of
the arrival Of the first boat. On Friday, we had
a strong wind blowing from the south, which is
always most effectual in breaking up the ice Of
Lake Pepin, as the wind forces j, up stream, and
leaves the lever end Of it open for the action Of
waves; when if the pillows once begin to swell,
the whole mass is soon broken up and Heats away |
IRvINE's MILL.-We regret to learn that the
main shaft Of Irvne's steam saw-mill at the Up |!
per Landing. was broken last Wednesday. A |
new ons Of wrought iron. will be supplied 10 its
place.
