The burdens Of new settlement should
be as light as possible. No one thing
retards the settlement Of a new country
more than the fear Of heavy taxation.
This subject needs your attention, and
will no doubt receive 1t In the proper
way.
Where the field Depreciation is large,
and the use Of money demands high
rate of interest, the temptation for crea-
ting banks 10 circulate paper money Is,
and has always been in every section OF
the Union, very great. The school OF
politics to which have always had the
honor to belong has opposed upon prin-
ciple, the establishment OF such bank
ing institutions, and It would be repeat
ing the well established doctrines of the
country, TO attempt a re-argument OF
this question. ! therefore content my
self by saving that no law, creating a
bank within this Territory, for circula-
ting a paper currency, can receive my
official sanction.
should be doing injustice TO highly
meritorious class Of our fellow citizens,
engaged in the Numbering business, were
| not 10 call your attention to the en-
barrassmen,s, that surround them. The
act, organizing this Territory, says that
"the Legislative power of the Terrific
ry shall extend to all the righttul subjects
Of legislation, consistent with the Con-
stitution Of the United States and the
provisions of this act, but no law shall
be passed interfering with the primary
disposal Of the soil The extent OF
your power on the subject of protectin z
the Government lands from trespassers
is complete, and as the pineries OF Min
nesota, for the present, to some extent,
bear the same relation to our people
and our commerce, that the mines OF
California do to their people and their
commerce, It seems to me that you can
act on this subject in such way as to
disembarrass our enterprlslng lumber
men, and secure the Government against
damage until the pine lands are all in
the market. | have taken some pains
to ascertain the character and extent OF
this trade on the ST. Croix and Upper
Mississippi, for which ! am greatly in
debted to Mr.. Setter, Of Saltwater, and
Mr.. McAlpin, of ST. Anthony, which is
deemed entirely reliable.

This vast trade has been much annoy

tions Of the Government, and it is be-
Eeved that action by the Territory can
afford a remedy, either by the proper
memorial to Congress, or to the Secre-
tary of the Interior. The latter is
taking much pains to expedite the sur
veys, and have the public lands speedily
brought into market, which must prove
highiy advantageous 10 our Territorial
prosperity.
The improvement Of the Little Rap

incalcuIable benefit to the rapidly grow

claim your attention.

Of considering the best means to organ

and the town of St. Anthony would no
doubt get up two or three uniform com

ence upon the Indian population Of the

the defence of the country in emergen-
cies were negIectful Of the public veal.
