This is vast as well gratifying sub
ject. If our thousands of countrymen
struggling to earn living Oh the exhaust
ed lands of the Atlantic States, or the
millions of laboring men in downtrodden
Europe could be made acquainted with
the countless resources of our young and
vigorous Territory, the tide of immigra-
ton to the shores of the Pacific would
cease, and a noble State would soon be
formed on the elevated plateau containing
the sources Of the Mississippi, the Red
river of the North and the ST. Louis Of
Lake Superior. No portion of the Uni
ted States combines as much health with
a rich soil. 1t contains the best pinery
in the nation, with the most valuable mar
ket, extending 1000 miles to the Gulf of
Mexico. But the true riches of Min
nesota will be found to consist in her
deep luxuriant soil. Her agricultural
wealth, yet unhappily undeveloped, is her
brightest jewel, and is destined at no dis
tant day to place her in the front rank of
great and prosperous States. Her rich
soil, her beautiful prairies, and her match
less climate are daily inviting the people
Of other chimes to come and occ,uu.

Ciuilis, It is to be against the Corpus Ju-
us Canonici. 1t didn't pay to attack the
powers of the State, soour nelghbor must
now needs try what virtue there is in run
ming tilt against the Church. Well,
there's nothing like having variety.
We want, however, all of our own friends,
as we'll as the friends of the Democrat,
Just to note this "opening Of the cam
paipn'' of 1852, and bear witness as TO
which paper uncovcrs the fith-sewers OF
personal abuse. The above is the COM
mencemcnt, and is applied to the writer
of respectful communication, who, as q
faithful, prominent and useful citizen OF
Minnesota, stands with the editor Of the
Democrat as "Hyperion to a Satyr."
Our neighbor will learn before the elec-
ton, as was the result in the case Of Gov.
Ramsey and Mr.. Sjbley last year, that he
has again mistaken his man. u Since
the above was in type, the Loyal Son "
has attended to his own case, as will be
seen. Although he quotes the same par
agraph, we have concluded 10 let our ar
ticle go as it is, as we want to lose no OPP
portunity to let our readers see the method
by which neighbor Robertson keeps entire
IN from his columns all manner of "per-
sonal abuse"

Incidents of the Evening and Might.

We found at the shanty Messrs. Nor
risOn and Frost, of St. Anthony, who had
come out in buggy to join us in the ex-
c'lrsion. The first thing to be done was
to provide fish for supper. We found
them down in the creek, awaiting our ar
rival. "The Doctor" is considerable
of sportsman among the finny tribes. He
and another Of the party cast in their lines,
and quicker than it will take us to relate
the fact, they flung to the shore more bass
than twelve hungry men could devour at
one meal. They continued fishing fifteen
or twenty minutes, and the product was
about forty pounds-all bass of the largest
size. After supper 'the Doctor and Mr..
Miller again tried their luck, and in few
moments had as many more. Itappeared
sinful to take more than could be used for
supper and breakfast; but just after sun
down an incident occurred which kept
large quantity of them from spelling on
our hands. This was the arrival of four
Of the St. Paul b'hoys, viz: Geo. REFS
dorf, Markley, Gump and Turnbull. They
were seeking cranberries, and were about
as hungry and noisy set of varmints
as we ever met with. They walked into
the hsh with a will, and after supper
pitched their tent alongside the shanty.
Their arrival was as welcome to us as the
appearance of theatrical company in

Stevens Shanty.

This is situated on theecreek, and is
the end of land jaarhssying and the port of
entry for Minnetonka. 1t is the claim
of Mr.. Simon Stevens, (brclher of J. H.
and as fine a mill privilege as can be
found in Minnesota. The creek is about
two rods wide, and from two TO six feet
deep. The water is clear with gravel and
rock bottom. Mr.. Stevens is now hauling
the lumber TO build mill. The location
selected for this purpose will allow him
to raise a head of five or six feet. This
spot cannot be far from the geographical
centre of the county of Hennepin, and
may one day be the county seat. A COM
Portable and welcome shanty is this Of
Stevens with good, whole-souled fell
fellow, Mr.. Shaver, inside of it. He
volunteers to become our cook, not
only for the present occasion, but for
the trip up the lake; and SO here we un-
pack.
