A LAKE SUPERIOR RAHROAD-Thc Detroit
Daily Advertiser says, a railroad is in cOntem-
platiOn between the western extremity of Lake
Superior at Fond du Lac. and the town of St.
Paul, In Minnesota Territory. The distance is
in a straight line only about 100 miles, in a
north by east direction from st. Paul. The
country through which it is to run is said to be
very fertile. If such aroutc were now opened,
with the ship canal at the Saul i'm full opera

commercial communication with the upper wa
tiers of the Mississippi, as surely as it will prove
the easiest and cheapest way to get merchan-
die either to or from the country lying around
the sources OF the Mississippi. 1t is an impOr-
tant work to that section of country. and may

The UNITED DEMOCRACY.''-Th Albany Ar.
gus exclaims with great fervor, and with deep
modification:
g How long is the democratic party in this
State to be disgraced by such associations?
Was there ever more disreputable coalition
anywhere than that known as the united DEM

There probably never was and what NAV be

PROBABILITY OF WAR IN EUROPE.-The New
York Courier thus speculatcs upon the proba-
bilities of war in Europe:
In our judgment the same fanaticism which
has urged forward the Emperor of Russia to his
present position. will continue to press him for
ward to his fate; the same dependence upon
Russia and hatred of England, which prompted
Austria to connect her fate with that of Russia
will prevent her rcceding; and if So England
and her allies will very shortly strike a blow
which will set all Europe in blazc-leave Rus
sia without fect--and in due time, render the

combined armies of Western Europe.

This meeting seems to have past off in n manner
to have met the expectations ofits most sanguinc
projectors and friends. The prescription and llib-
erality which unwillingly originated it, stands re-
bukcd before the world by the immense and cnthu-
sastic audiences which throngcd Metropolitan hall,
during the numerous sessions of the Convention, as
well as by the LIBERAL truthful and elcvating scnti-
mcnts there uttered
The Tribune gives very full report of the pro-
cccdings, much of which we regret our inability to
copy this week. 4. w. IIigginson presided. A.

Mrs Nichols of Vermont John Pcrpont, Lucrcta
Mott, John p. Hale Col H. l.. Snow, William Lloyd
Garrison, Antoinettc l.. Brown, Lucy Stone, Mrs.
jackson of England, Mrs. Gage, C. c. Burleigh and
others. OF theirspecchcs the Tribune says "therc
was pith and heartiness about most of them, that
could not fail of their effect" 1t also says:
"On the whole, this has been the most spirited
and able Convention in behalf Of temperance ever
yet held. Ii has already done good and cannot
fail to do more. The scarcity Of white neck-clOths
on its platform was fully atOned for by the pres
ence there of such champions of Reform and llu
manity as ANToINErTE L. BRowN, Lucy STONE
Mrs. Jackson, from England Mrs. g. |. ii. NIcH

sencc of wine from the festive board which is graced
by Woman, it was the theme ofno very general
or profound regret. 1t wasa great occasion, and
wo trust Truth was there uttered which will bear
fruit through coming years."

doy the 2lst Of September, the day of the opening
of the State Fair.
Auxiliary Societies are requested to send dele
gates, and counties which have not yet organized
branch societies. it is hoped will defer doing so no
longer. Let every woman who approves the prn-
ciples and objects ofthis Society and wishes to
promote its interests consider herself member,
and see to it that her town and county are repre-
sentcd.
Business of Importance is to come before the
meeting; in addition to which, reports we trust will
be presented from all parts of the State; and short
addresses from Mrs. Gage and others may be ex-
pected.
The present is an important crisis in theprogress
of the Temperance reform in Ohio, and while there
is great reason for encouragement and hope there
is need that every lover of the cause should put
forth unwonted energy in its behalf at the present
time.
Woman's suferings from intcmperancc are man

conceded by all, that women do much to aid
