"OVERHAULING THE RECORD-1S51."

We continue to extract from that miserable
sheet, ssThe Watab Reveille.'' Speaking of Gov
Ramsey's Message, it says:
ellis Excellency gives us an avalanche of words
barren of ideas, about a revision of the laws
which are creditable to him neither as lawyer
or u man, amounting to a pompous display OF
nonsense and twaddle. 1t will be seen that he is
rather of the opinion that Ignorance OF the law
in this country should excuse some men. If this
be SO, many apologies are due from his Excellency
to saw nothing Of another high in authority, who
affects to know the law where he 'sees it, but
who does MT it, rather has failed to see it,
having applied to all sources, both public and
private, for copy but without effect"
Again alluding to the "ramseys," it remarks
"sOLD-co- Slow departed from this Territory
on Wednesday, on special mission for the ram
seys. What the object of his journey is, has not
yet TRANSFERRED. 1t is supposed that he has gone
to purchase type, for press to be established in
opposition to the Watab Reveille."
"Hole- in the-Day'' is the next subject for its
amusement
Hole in DAY.
This distinguished young Chippewa chief ad-
dressed crowded audience in the Presbyterian
Church at st. Paul, on Wednesday evening last.
He described the sufferings and wrongs of his
tribe with great feeling and effect, and said that
he appeared not only in behalf of his tribe, but
also for his red brethren, the Sioux and Winnie
bagoes; who had, in common with his people,
suffered by the failure of the Government to COM
ply with its treaties.
A lively sympathy was manifested by the multi
tude and after the conclusion of the speech,
which lasted about thirty minutes, Messrs. Far
rington, Borup, Fuller, II. M. Rice, and }. &.
Ramsey, were appointed a committee to solicit
aid for lIole-in-t the Day and his people.
Now follows list of the names of the various
