You will see by the Intelligencer Of this
morning, that it has been deemed advisa-
BILE to say something about the contempla-
ted lumber seizures in our Territory. l
see neighbor "Blowhard," of the Demo-
crat, is, with his usual avidity, grasping
at this matter as political capital Mr.,
Fillmore goes up this evening, and will
no doubt do what he can to have matters
result satisfactorily with our Lumbermen.
He understands his business, and will not
be much disposed to "oppress" people af-
ter the manner the Democrat would wish
You will find him an agreeable gentleman,

Facts and Faucies.
The election for town officers was held
day before yesterday. Apart from the
rivaly of the friends of the two tickets,
both of which claimed to be 'Organza-
ton Democratic" there appeared to be
but little interest manifested. The vote
polled was comparatively small-4l4-at
least one hundred and fifty voters staid
away from the polls. The following is
the result:
For President Of the Toun,
B. W. Lott, 227, R. Kennedy, 1873
For Recorder,
L. M. Olivier, 237, B. B. Ford, III
For Councilmen,
C. Bazill, 23l, F. Cazeau, l7S
E. Keller, 22s, A. Baker, l75
John Rodgers. 22l, .Hichcox, 166
Lot Moffet. 3O6,
VIM. Freedom, 1896.
Messrs. Moffet and Freedom ran on
both tickets. The ticket elected is the
one nominated at the Mazourka Hall
meeting.
The indefatigable Tiger continues to
make her trips up the Minnesota river.
She returned from her second trip last
Tuesday, and is now lying at the Lower
Landing.
The District Court has been in session
since Monday, Chief Justice Fuller pre-
siding. The manner in which the Judge
puts the business through is worthy of
commentator. Lawyers have to be
ready when their cases are called, or they
go by default. We have been unable to
attend, except during a portion of one
day, and consequently cannot give an ac-
count of what has transpired.
A Post Office has been established at
Little Canada, settlement about five
miles north of St. Paul, and Abram Lam
bert appointed Postmaster.
The Minnesota Year Book for 1852
has been received. 1t contains about
eighty pages, duodecimo, of well-arranged
matter, besides the calendar and adyer-
tisement pages, being a record of the
principal local events that transpired
during the year 1851. For sale by Lee

Our readers are referred to the pro-
ceedings of the first Annual Meeting of
the Minnesota Territorial Temperance
Society, and the letter of Neal Dow, to
be found in another column.
According to latest advices the Sioux
treaties were so near ratified, that there
is not the slightest doubt on that subject.
The committee of the Senate reported
favorably on the 18th ult., and we are
momentarily expecting to hear of their
ratification. In the mean time, immi-
grants and others, inpatient at this SEEM
ing delay, are rushing into that country
from all quarters.
The Nominee came in on Wednesday
evening, heavily loaded as usual, with
freight and passengers. She left about
fifty passengers at Wabasha Prairie
members of the Village Association. We
are sorry that Capt. Smith was too ill to
leave his stateroom.
Our readers will be panied to learn the
following melancholy news, which we
find in this weeks Democrat. In speak
ing of "Whiggery," it says:
''lts death is inevitable any how YOU
can fix it, for if it goes for the compro-
mise, it is dead; if it goes against the
compromise, it is dead if it continues
mum, and try the no-party trick again, it
is dead. In any and every event, whig-
gerry is dead donkey"

rived from Galena, and the Franklin, No.

to be thus informed, they must not only hear the
"stunap" speeches, but they must tdfe He me'0S-

We shall devote all our energies to the cause OF
the people and of Democracy and equal rights I'D

before u.s. brother Democrats, provided we are true
to ourselves. Let us, then, go to work at once

November. Let us scatter the documents and
newspapers far and wide among the people, so that
they may have an opportunity of reading, ponder
