have carefully watched the columns of the
''1inaes" which arrives reasonably regular about
ten days from the date of publication, and of
course, could not but pretty well understand
the nature and result of that intended Railroad
swindle. It was seemingly unfortunate that the
,rholc project was killed off and the grant annul-
ed, but should deem this result much better than
to have the whole Territory bought and paid for
by the Wall street Company and its agents. The
grant was an important one to the interests of
Minnesota, but it is better to forcgo temporary
prosperity and swat little longer' for NATURAL
legitimate enterprise and true success. 1t was
better to cut short the operations of concern
that would have fastened its poisonous fangs on
the very vitals Of your Territory, even at the ex-
pensc of present prosperity and speculative activ-
ity. Honor the manlness and the determination
of the Times and other of the St. Faul papers,
for their success in the Truth, and for their I'M
f'nching opposition to the Schuylerites.

and general good harmony seemed to prevail
Among the resolutions we find the following:
Resolved, That by the act of procuring the
peal Of the Missouri Compromise we hold that
we are forever discharged from all obligations to
support any compromise with slavery, except
such as contained in the Constitution of the
United States; and most especially that we are
forever released from all obligations to admit
into our Union any State which sanctions or per-
mits Slavery.
Resolved, That the recent action Of Congress,
stimulated and approved by the President, where
by the compact commonly known as the Missouri
Compromise is repudiatcd, and the vast territory
known as Nebraska and Kansas opened to slavery,
has already received the unqualified condcmna-
ton Of the Wings of New York, and we point
with satisfaction and pride to the fact that not
single Wing member Of, either House Of Con-
gross from this any other free State, yielded
any sort Of support, countcnancc, favor to
that most unjust and unrightcous proceeding.

efforts of the Wigs of the State of New York.
