The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1854-04-29
SHERWOOD HorGH, City Clerk.


ticularly in the northern and central portions
of the State, there has lem, during the past
year, general spirit of enquiry concerning
Minnesota. The newspapers thereaway are
beginning to take deep interest in our affairs,
and people are being taught to understand that
st. Paul is not entirely within the borders Of
the Arctic ocean, or even the Russian posses
sons of this continent. We find the following
in the last Wooster Republican:
ST. PAUL, MENNEsOrA.-Progress, advance
ment. and prosperity in town and city, seem to
be the order OF the day, in every direction, east,
west, north and south. Now and then q place
is weighed down by the incubus of old fogyism
and remains stationary OF rctrogrades, but gen
orally all go ahead. Afar off, toward the will
dcrncss Of the West, as well as nearer the CEN
tire of our own vast country, towns and cities
spring up as by magic, grow increase, and be-
come great commercial narts. A few years
since Wisconsin and Iowa were on the very
verge OfciviliZatiOn, but now they are bccom-
ing mighty States, with all the comforts and
appliances Of civilization within their reach.
Now Minnesota is on the border and congrc-
gated thousands are fOcking thitlcr 20 secure
portion Of her rich soil, and find homes and
plenty within her borders. The press. ever
keeping pace with the wants Of the people, in
dicates also the character, Intelligence, and
spirit of the people. For some three years
past st. Paul has supported three well printed
able and highly credilablc weekly sheets, the
Pioneer, the Democrat, and the Minnesotian.
the two first being Democratic, and the last
Wing. But now all three purpose to become
daily journals, and fourth is also advertised
to start with thom in the race fer favor and pa
tronagc. This seems to be going it pretty
strong for new city OF i, 600 inhabitants, but
wonders have long since ceased in regard to
the new towns of the West, and st. Paul may
therefore be able to support four daily journals.
vt all events We hope SO.
SENTIMENTS OF a TENNEssEEAN.-Th follow
ing is the position taken by the Hon. VIM. Cul-
ION, of Tennessee, in his recent speech upon
the Nebraska bill. The land of Hugh l.. White
and John Bell proudly sustains its ancient
honors when entrusted to such men as Cullom
''The streams of legislation are damned up
by this netariOus project--the Nebraska Kansas
bill-which he denounced as the work of poll
clans, to stranglc the legislation Of the country
for personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. lie believed in
the face of God, that he would be coward If
he did not dcnouncc it. He would not be a
Tcnncssean if he did not cry out against this
ncfarious plot against The peace and quiet OF
our country. Yes, Nebraska and Kansas is the
hue and cry with which these halls are made
vocal. Amid the sound of these cant phrases.
we are told these Territories must have Co
yernments given to them forthwith and the
Compromise of lS20--tlc work of our fathers
must be trodden under foot. Gentlemen might
talk to him about bad faith and outraged South
crn honor, but he would tell all sections this is
naked question Of reputation or no repudia-
tion."
On Mr.. Cullom resuming his scat, Col. Ben
ton and other members of the House crowded
around him and extended their congratulations
on the sentiments lie avowcd, and the stand he
had taken.
Admiral Napier who commands the British
fleet in the Baltic, figured in the war against
the United States. in 1912, and not very credit
ably as he was joined with Cochrane and Cock
burn in making war upon the farm-houses and
hcn,roosts of the Virginia farmers One of his
letters, Ingorsoll's History mentions, taken dur
ing the war, dated June "a, 1911, says:
"Hcre am in Lynhaven Bay, the clippers
sailing every day, and losing them for want of
fast sailcrs. | have pctitioncd the Prince Re-
gent in behalf Of the whole of Us, fer a good
slice of prize money. Excuse this hasty scrawl
am in id bad humor, having just return
ed from an unsuccessful chase"
We hope he will find the Baltic service cal
culatcd to put him in a better humOr.
We can add our testimony, says the Chicago
Courant, to the following extract, which is
worth the attention of our gardeners:
An agricu!turist, who has tried the expert
mcnt satisfactorily, says that few seeds of the
;,,4. a..
or tomato set ont, which he says is the better
mode, will keep off black fcas and striped bugs
as they dislike the favor Of the tomato.
