Meeting at Traverse.

At meeting of the friends of Temperance in
Traverse, on Saturday. the 18th June 1853, Jo-
mas Pettijohn, ESD, was called to the chair and
Geo. IL. Spencer appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting being explained,
the following resolutions were unanimously
| adopted.
LIST. Resolved, That the using and traffick-
ing of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, is one
| OF the greatest offences against society and
therefore, we place it in the category of crimes.
I'd. ResOircd That in view of the alarming
| increase of lntempcrancc, and the facilities of
obtaining Spirtuous Liquors, it becomes the
citizens of this place, to be vigilant. and to
unite heart and hand, in the use of all the NOR
al and lawful means for its suppression and re-
mOval.
| Sd. Resolved. That while we welcome to our
landing the steamers plying on our river, ell
gagged in lawful commerce and transportation
we unitcdly express our deep and heartfelt re-
gret, that they should. contrary to the Laws of
our Territory, become the vehicles for the con-
veyance of Grog Shops, which are thrown open
as public nuisance to our new and growing
community.
4th. ResoIred That a committee of five be
appointed to wait on those who sell intOXica-
ting drinks, and the Bar-kccpcrs on the boats
and respectfully request them to close their
shops and bars, while in our Territory and this
place in particular. and that every honorable
means will be used to enforce the laws of Con-
grcss. which prohibit its Introduction into this
Territory.
9th. Resolved. That a committee he appOin-
ted to draft a Constitution and Bylaws, for the
permanent organization of a Temperance Soci-
ETY. in this place, and report the same at the
next meeting
9th. Resolrcd, That a copy of the proceed
ings of this meeting be sent to each of the st.
Paul and st. Anthony papers, with a request
that they publish the same.

but still one who this day has more warmly
devoted friends in the Territory than any other
man within our borders. No citizen is more
universally honOred by men of all parties This
is fact that cannot be controvertcd by any
close observer who mingles at all with the
people. Should our neighbours friend and pa
trOn, Gov. German, pass through the four years
ordeal and come out as well. it will be our
pleasure and our pride, as citizen devoted to
the single interests of Minnesota, to record the
fact, should we then be alive. The Democrat
may be drawing its ungcncrous and bigoted
partisan comparisons little too soon. We
hope Gov. German will succeed in doing JUS
tice to all in the management of our Indian af-
fairs, keep peace within our borders, and come
out with credit and honor to himself and the
government but shrcwd and cautious men are
always distrustful of any plan public policy
which requires so many gaseous efforts to get
life infused into it at the outset. The organ,
since the Governors advent, has kept its bel
lows in full blast to accomplish the imitation of
The great events to be in the particular of Indian
affairs. We would advise it to stop awhile,
until it can say something as to what has been.
We shall keep a quiet but steady eye upon
our new neighbor, hoping anon to get him
trained into his proper line ofduty as an organ
grinder to the new Executive.

CRYSTAL PA1AcE-Cathcart. Kern & Co. of

CRYSTAL PALACE.-Cathcart Kern & Co. of
the above establishment, are doing brisk bus
mess. We notice in passing along Third Street
that they are always busy. We frequently hear
them spoken of as selling goods much cheaper
than they have ever been sold before iE this
place. We would recommend our purchasing
friends to call and see their goods, as they al
ways appear to be pleased to show them. They
have large and well-assorted stock of fancy
and staple dry goods Cat least our lady friends
say SOY groceries and shelfhardware. We also
notice they have just received, a most complete
stock of Queen 's-ware.

The Minnesota Democrat.

The Democrat of this week comes out under
the auspices of its new editor and proprietor.
David Olmsted. There is no salutatory or in
auguralfrom the new man; so ofcourse we must
guess at conclusions in regard to his future line
OF conduct. This We can very readily, and we
think clearly do, taking this number as 'spe-
cimen brick We should Judge, then, that the
Democrat is to continue about its old course.
with the exception that its editorials will fall
from the reckless, fire-eating, cut-and-thrust
style Of former days, to sort of forciblv feeble
enervated, go-easy, halfasleep. halfawake mo.
tion-much such as used to characterize tho
pace of the old Wing Chronicle and Register
after we left it in 1850, and the present editor
of the Democrat became its owner. 1.-the
Democrat-we further conclude, will continue
to hold the position of especial organising to
his Excellency, Gov. German. This conclusion
is very easily arrived at from an article upon the
new Indian policy in the present number. And
we must here take occasion to remind our neigh
Dor Olmsted, that Gov. Ramsey is out of Office

We have preaching regularly twice every
Sabbath to congregation of 40 or so. Our
improvements are now going on rapidly. Two
large warehouses are now under way; several
buildings for residences are also in progress.
Our Hotels are crOwded: the "Pacific House,"
is doing a smashing business. Our wharves are
lined with freight; steamers plying rapidly
three at this place last evening.
We also have the prospect of one Of the finest
quarries of limestone on the river, a little
above. They have also found some fine spcci
mems of coal in the neghbOrhOOd Of Kasota
which the finder thinks will prove valuable.
Crops look fine. and l hope we will not have
to bring up eatables next year.
Respectfully yours, G.

consequence was, drunken Indians almost eve

any, though we may be, and We think the best
way Is to stop it ut once. The committee waited

quest, while at this port and we hope they
are sincere and believe them to he gentlemen
OF too high character to he willing to cndan-
ger the lives of the innocent for the few dimes
their bars bring them.
The signcrs to the pledge were nearly all of
our town except the haf-brccds: and believe
they will carry out this determination, for we
have some of the right kind of men here to do
it, If they were oil apprised of the fact, that
they are liable to imprisonment and a very
heavy fine as well as the confscation of all their
goods, they would not dare risk bringing it in
to our Territory at all ; and that this is law
OF Congress, and not the Minnesota Law and
