niais nave Ceased, has imposed on US an unusuai
amount Of editorial labor, this week. II is no
small task, for the most capacious stomach, TO
digest two bushels of newspapers and chymify
the whole mass. What TO select, whateo reject,
what to abridgs and what to comrnen, upon, re-
qutres quite as much judgment for an humble
Iourna like this, as for mammoth Daily. II is
not easy to boil down an ocean Of print, into the
compass of few columns.
| The MINNESOTA DEMocRAr vs. CARDI-
NAL iiUGHEs.--Our neighbor Of the Democrat,
ia the last No. Of that detachable Journal, says:
"Kossu,h, Mazzini and Kinkel, have escaped
tho gTbbet and the axe Of the .despots. AT their
bidding, armies Of sublime courage and invincible
prowess will take the field, BY secondng the
fret well provided revolutionary movement in
Europe, they will strike blow that will make
monarchy reel and totter in its strong hods, and
by thus exposing its weakness, inspire the OPP
pressed With courage to and Join their
brave deIiv erers.
All this will be, and the time is not far distant.
The lives of the three greatest and most power-
full men Of Europe, are devoted to the work. 1t
is their mission Oh earth. They bring TO ts ser
vice all the elements Of human strength, founded
upon faith in God and hope in man. All the
friends Of freedom con6de in their courage, puri-
ty. and capacity. They nre the cho'en conf
manders Of the revolutionary movements soon to
be commenced in Europe. with an ample provis-
ion Of men, money and forecast
Now hear what That most distinguished Of all
Catholic eccIesiastics, Bishop (now CARDINAL
Hughes said, at the Stuyvesent Institute in New
York, on Tuesday, the 18Th day Of November
last, concerning kossu,h:
"And here I cansci help alludng TO the praise

on that race, on a recent occasion, which has at
tracted the eyes of the wOtld--the reception. in
England Of the exiled governor Of Hungary. The
moment he landed IN England, he became the
preacher Of submission 10 Its laws, and the euo-
Siss Of Anglo-Sayonisn and like the Oraugeu,as
Of the North, he too mus, have his fling at the
Jesui,s and the Pope. Ansio-Saxonisn was the
theme Of his euiogy. He. the man, who forgo,

! TIE LApIEs' FAIR, LAST WEEx.-We
like that every body should hs &c hearing; aud
therefore, without endorsing any thing that fol-
lows, we give place in our columns TO the follow
ing, which is the material part Of a communica-
ton we have received, on the subject Of the Fair
last week We do not believe, tina, any person
hough, a ticket il the lotteries OF the Fair, with
any purpose Of gam; bat think the practice Of
thus lending any countenance whatever, TO lot
teries or n gambling, bad one. 1t is not proba-
bic that dollar was paid al the Fair, with any
other motive than 10 increase the proceeds Of the
Fair; and the receipts would have been just a.
much rithom lotteries, as Wih. But we must
and 10 condemn gambling IN any and every form,
whether ut the faro bank, the card table, keno
lotteries, or by any other device whatever. We
take this occasion to warn every youth and every
young man against it, rs the most dangerous and
ineurable Of vices. II is even danseroustb play
cards; and we are glad to know that 4 gener-
al thing in ST. Paul, parents have the good sense
and authority to keep their children away from
all gaming places.

there is established an institution which has for
It's object, the relief Of its members, when sick,
wherever scattered throughout cur broad country !,
upon the principle Of Mutual Insurance, or rather
mutual assistance. II cannot be urged agains,
this Union, that its funds are exha listed for other

it is partial unfair in the distribution Of its be-
nevoent aid, or that the member receiving funds
