The Minnesota pioneer. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. Territory) 1849-1855, 1853-08-18

York on the 9th Of September, next. The opportu-
nifty afforded by the attendance Of many persons from
different parts, especially Of Europe, at the Worlds
Fair, is favorable for this Convention and il WILL
doubt not, do much towards advancing the interests
Of temperance throughout the globe.
The Convention will continue in session four days,
and the Temperance associations and organizations,
based the principles of entire abstinence from the
and sale Of all intoxicating liquors beverage"
are invited to appear by their representatives., and
general invitation also extended ''to the friends of
temperance throughout the world }" assuring them of
a cordial welcome to this meeting.
1t is proposed that the Ms (sIaine, Minnesota,
Massachusetts and Michgan,) should be allotted the
front seats in the Convention.
The St. Anthony Express has go. into perfect
rage about the "treaty with the Winncbagoes." The
editor has asceraned that theGovenor is leagued with
the people of ST. Paul throw .'cvery obstacle in the
way OF the progress and prosperity of the Upper Mis-
sissippi in general, and 81, Anthony in particular.
When the Express man comes to his right mind will
he take the trouble to reflect that the prosperity of
ST. Paul depends upon the prosperity Of the Territory
Of Minnesota, and that the people of St. Paul arc as
anxious to promote the interests Of ST. Anthony,
any other portion Of the Territory The people Of
St. Paul are as much opposed to keeping the Winnie
basoes on the Mississippi as the people Of St. Antho
ny can be,and with al! this parade of Indignation,
We think they ieaie so,--because take the
Wnncbagoes away from the Mississippi, and very
large item Of business will ow into another channel
which renders 'smateral a,d' to St. Anthony at
present. The people Of St. Paul, however, desi-
rous that the faith of Government should never
be broken with the Indian tribes within the limits of
the Territory, and if the continuance Of the Winnie
bago Indians on lands adjoining the Mississippi is
necessary to a faithful fuf nent of sacred promise
made to the Indians, let them remain on the Missis-
sippi.
One fact is beyond controversy, that while the W In
nebago Indians remain in Territory, they be
located adjoining land open TO White settlement some
achare and have bill of exemption in favor
Of the peculiar people about St. Anthony.
