Facts and Faucies.

We have been compelled 10 delay the
publication of our present number to await
the delivery of the Governors message.
Hereafter, we will try to be out early on
Saturday morning.
Upon our first page will be found news
Of much interest. The revolution in
France is perhaps but the commencement
of the general commotion in Europe which
the signs of the times forctell the present
year.
We are indebted to Hon. II. H. Slblev,
and Hon. C. NJ. Conrad, Secretary Of War,
for public documents.

HIsToRIcAL SocIETY.-Licut. J. II.
Simpson will deliver the annual discourse
before the Minnesota Historical Society,
on Monday January 18th, 1852. We
understand that the general subject will
be "reminiscences of tour in the Ma
vajo country. BY order Of the Govern
ment, in 1919 Mr.. Simpson made mill
tary reconnaissance from Santa Fe to the
above named country, and discovered, in
connection with his party, many interest
ing ruins of buildings and pottery of
race that must have existed in that coun-
try centuries ago. Those who have been
interested in the descriptions of Stephens
and Prescott, will not fail to be present at
the delivery of the discourse. We are
also informed, that paper is expected
from DR.. Foster, on the supposed rigin
and early residence of the Puans, now
termed Winnebagoes.
The Democrat is now urging strongly
the ratification of all the treaties conclu-
ded the past season with the Indians of
Minnesota. The editor, for once. speaks
the sentiments OF the people Of Minneso-
ia, for which he deserves credit. Our
citizens are anxious for Territorial mass
meeting upon this all-important subject
but no one appears inclined TO name the
time. When shall it be?
! ErGHTu OF JANUARY.-This national
anniversary of the most decisive victory
achieved by the American arms during
the war of 1912, was desecrated by a
partisan supper at Lot Mofet's, on
Thursday evening. Uncle Lot, when he
first conceived the idea of commemorat-
ing the day, extended an invitation to all
the Democrats. both organizationists and
antics; but the old clique machine uptown
was set to grinding, and pledge ulti-
mately run through the hopper, and at
tempted to be forced down the threats Of
the latter division, to the effect that no
one should be allowed to participate in
the festivities, unless he bound himself
hand and foot, to the Rice faction. Con-
scqncntly, Robertson and Company had
it all their own way. As orr old friend
Wells would say, "Grcat is Diana of the
Ephcsians.
The Democrat of Wednesday contains
the opinion of Attorney General Critten-
den upon the power Of the President tc
remove Territorial Judges. 1t is briei
and to the point, and very decided upon
the affirmative side Of the question, taking
the Jacksonian ground, that Congress has
not the power to declare how long an in
dividual shall remain in office, in case the
Limitation is not prescribed by the Consti-
tuition.

several of them. One account says five
Chippcwas were killed. another, which
