CLAIM ASSOCIATIONS,

The following resolutions have been
sent us for publication by our friends at
Wabasha Prairie. The rules laid down
are fair and equitable; and if generally
adopted by claim associations in the new
purchase, will prevent much difficulty
and perhaps violence. The people of
"abasha county, we are requested to
state, will meet in mass convention at
Wabasha Prairie, on Wednesday. the
hrst day of September next, to form a
general claim association, and to settle
such other matters pertaining to their in
ternal welfare as may appear necessary.
1t Is hoped general attendance will be
had of those interested. Nothing will
SO greatly conduce to the general and in
dividual prosperity of all concerned as a
falr and perfect understanding between
all the settlers. Our friends of Wabasha
have glorious country-one of the most
healthful and fertile regions ever opened
TO the industry of man. Let all feelings
OF bitter strife between different points

More especially, for their own mutual in
terests, should the settlers at Rolling

best interests of each individual settler in

FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
GEN. WINFIELD SCOTT.
OF NEW JERSEY.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
WILLIAM A. GRAHAM,
OF NORTH CAROLINA.
SOUTHERN MlNNESOTA---ROADS WEST
OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

We have before remarked that not one
half of the people who have emigrated and
are daily emigrating TO Minnesota, the
present year, come as high up the river
as St. Paul. This is fact; and it does
no good to conceal it here or any where
else. 1t is natural to suppose that such
would be the case. So fertile country
AZ stretches from the Iowa line to the
Minnesota river cannot long remain I'M
occupied. This region will settle up,
gradually from the border of the State
south Of it, leaving no intervening strips
of country, fifty and hundred miles in
width, between settlements. The pres
ent county of Wabasha, extending on the
Mississippi from point twelve or fif-
teen miles below Saint Paul to the Iowa
line, and west some hundred miles, will,
in all probability, by the close of naviga-
tion the coming fall, be the second county
in point of population in the Territory.
Mr.. Thomas, an intelligent gentleman
who has settled upon Wabasha Prairie
this season, was in town on Monday, and
furnished us with some interesting facts
in regard to affairs in his neighborhood.
Since the treaties were ratified, emigra-
ton has increaseda at large ratio. Scarce
ly a boat comes up that does not string its
fifties and hundreds all along shore. At
Root river, at Bonnell's Landing, at the
Prairie and at Rolling Stone, they are
coming in continually. The land near
the river is all claimed, and emigrants are
crowding back into the country. Indeed,
we hear of some families who have gone
through by land, and settled upon the
Minnesota River in the neighborhood of
LIE Sueur.
A party from Rolling Stone have ex-
plored the route for road from their
place to an eligible point OH the Mime
sofa river. This route is through the
Undine region of Nicholet, whose account
OF its great resources and fairy-like
beauty has been read with delight by
thousands in America and Europe.
The distance from any of the landings
in Minnesota, on the Mississippi below
Lake Pepin, to the Minnesota river can
not exceed hundred miles; and as the
anterior country will soon be settled, the
people must have roads and mail routes.
All these roads, will, of course, cross the
great one which will speedily be estab-
hshed between St. Paul and Dubuque. If
we mistake not, the southern portion of
our Territory is now receiving within its
borders an intelligent and enterprising
people, who will not rest until all these
great improvements are consummated.
Push them along!
