Which occurs the following passage, in an
swer to inquiries made of him relative to the
of this paragraph: "This
" bill was submitted to the Committee on
" Public Lands, in April, 1854, in the
"presence of HENRY NJ. RICE, your Dele
gate, and in his presence and hearing dis
" tinctly read, section by section, to the
Committee, by their clerk, Mr.. GRUND.-
n Mr.. SIBLEY and Gov. GoMdAN then com
mented on the 81 section, in which the
words ANY future Legislature are used,
and also in which the words constituted
"or organized are used. All this took
"place in the presence and hearing Of HEN
"Ry NJ. RICE, and in which he participa-
tied" More testimony might lie pre-
sented, classifying, like the above, directly
and unequivocally, the statements made by
Mr. RICE, under the solemn sanctions of an
oath, before the Committee on Investiga.
tion-the above we regard sufficient for to-
day. But laying aside altogether the cues
ton of perjury, by whomever committed,
we repeat, in connection with this conflict
of testimony, that it was passing strange if
Mr. RICE was not cOnversant enough with
a bill, which was of more consequence to
his constituents than any other, and partic-
ularly when that bill was by courtesy in his
charge, not to know that such essential
words as those he was questioned about,
were or were not in the bill. Crdat ill.,
dGos, non nos.
But the browning shame and mortifca-
ton to which the people of Minnesota have
been subjected, throughout the whole of
these transactions, is to be found in the fact
that, during the tendency of the investiga-
ton so often alluded tO-while the halls of
the Senate and of the House of Represent
atives rmg with denunciations of villainy
and fraud, as connected with our land bill,
not single lisp was heard from Mr.. RICE
i'll defence of himself and of his constituents
no indignant disclaimer of participation
in the alleged frauds was uttered bv his
lips no energetic protest against making
the Territory he represented the victim of
the malpracticcs of outsiders word, he
was mute. Minnesota was left without a
defender. Congress had right to assume,
and did assume, that this silence on the
part of our Delegate, proved his participa-
ton in the guilty act-and that the Terri.
tory should lie held accountable and be pun.
ished for placing an unworthy person in
that position The banner of Minnesota,
hitherto untarnished and spotless, now trails
in the dust, and her fame is dimmed because
she chose to confide her Gcstinies to the

nor did know that the words were in the

with that of Hon. JOHN WENTWORTH, who
testifies that "after his return, he went to
Mr.. RICE, the Delegate from Minnesota,
and asked for copy Of the bill as it passed.
" He gave me printed bill, and made one

either Mr.. RICE or Mr. WENTWORTH has

not comprehend the meaning of the English

not know the words were in the bill. Mr.
WENTWORTH swcars that Mr.. RICE inserted
the word "and" instead of "or0 in the print
