a just tribute to Mr.. Sibley.

The Saint Anthony Express, in very suitable
notice of our delegate, Mr.. Sibley, says:
For the past two years we have watched the
public life Of MIR. SibIey with no little Interest,"
Differing from him in political sentiment, we
have scrutnzed his acts with a Jealous eve
more willing perhaps to censure than praise
Still we are ready TO metc Justice TO a political
opponents las TO of like faith with ourselves"
From careful inquiry we are satisfied that if
Mr.. Sibley's course IN Congress has not been such
as to command universal appreciation, (Which
cannot be said of any public mani ii has at least
been entirely satisfactory to a very large alori-
~ of the people Of Minnesota. tie enjoys unus-
uat advantages for the efficient discharge of his
official duties. A long residence in the Territory
has made him perfectly familiar with its condl-
ton and wants. Speaking fluenuy several DIFF
ierent languages. both European and Indian, and
personally acquainted with large majority of
the citizens, he possesses an intimate knowledge
of the wishes of his constituents He knows
what appropriations arc most needed, and where
they can be most advanta geousiy expended -
The representative Of the whole people md not
a party, he enjoys the entire confidence of the
citizens of the Territory, and abors for the inter-
eSts of The whole We have yet 10 learn that he
has in any instance availed himself Of his official
position to promote his private interests, or those
of political partlzans. The same honorable course
Of dealing which has distinguished Mr.. Sibley in
private life, has characterized his public career

HENRY CLAY AND GEN. LAFAYETTE.
"A CoRRECTIoN.--Ihe following letter has
been published at Mr.. Clay's request:-"A par
agraph is going the rounds Of the newspa pers
stating that the answer Of Gen. Lafayette 10 the
address which, as Speaker TO the House Of Rep
resentatiyes, made TO him upon the occasion of
his last visit to this country was prepared by me,
though pronounced by him. This is a mistake,
which, in justice both 10 his memory and to my
self, ought TO be corrected. Ii composed by
himself, as The style abundantly shows On the
morning of his reception by The House of Rep
resenniives, he breakfasted with me alone, and
stated or read 10 him the address which inten-
ded 20 make to him on that day.
The expression occurs in it, tina. he was il the
midst of PROSPERITY; on reading which remark
ed to him tina, it would afford him a fine oppor-
tunity to pay US handsome compliment, which
he might do by saying: No, and that he found
himself surrounded by the same patriotic men,
attached to liberty. devoted TO free institutions,
and with all the high attributes which distinguish
ed his revolutionary conipa'riu,s The General
seemed pleased with the idea, adopted it, and
incorporated it in his answer. This trivial Incl
dent could have been the only Foundation for the

SPLINTERING.-Last Tuesday night, the
Rice, Winnebago Fur Company had a meeting
at Mazourka Hall, to splinter up Geo. L. Becker,
one Of the Wing spokes in that ricketty concern,
who, 1t seems, has been damaged by the Mime
s0tian. 1t IS their own affair-and none of ours.
Their object is to galvanize Becker and try to
make him pass at Washington.

We are informed that private letters received
in town, state that the 'rehaantepec treaty had
been rejected by the Mexican Congress. We
see nothing of this in any of our papers---in none
of the published debates OF Congress. That
body had been in session about month, and the
affairs of the republic had not advanced much in
that time The Senate was engaged in the discus
sion of measures for the defence OF the northern
frontier; and afier violent debate, the eommis-
sion Withdrew the report they had prepared on
the defence Of the Rio Grande. The House OF
Dupuiies had read, for the second time. the pro-
position for railroad from Mexico to Vera Cruz
No decision was taken, but "A committee OF Tour
members was nominated.
On the 9th ultmo, two pieces Of cannon were
embarked on board the war steamer, State oil
Mexico, bound for Maiamoras.
The Indians continued their depredatons.---
They had attacked several habitatons, and rob
bed and plunderod the inhabitants.
The country seems to be unusually quiet, all
the local Instructions having been suppressed
without difficulty.
The present season has been unpiecedcntly Sc
we're in some parts Of Mexico. On the 18th ut.,
strong northwest wind began TO bow at Tam
pico, under the influence Of which, the mercury
fell rapidly, till on the l4th, it stood at 20 deg
Fahrenheit, and snow fell in some quantity. All
the Standing water was frozen, ice being formed
to the thickness of third Of an inch. Such
weather was never before experienced in Tam
pico, even by the Oldest inhabitants.
