Washinxton TERRITORY.

We publish the following letter from Mr. Sinclair,
a gentleman well known to most Of our citizens. He
has passed through by land from Pembna to the Pa
ci6c, and is we'll acquainted with the daernct routes.
lie would be important acquisition to any part,
going through to Washington Territory. The time
he specifies would enalle the enigrants to meet him
near the Turtle Mountain, or head waters Of Moose
River, il they left St. Paul by the frs, of May:
RED RIVER SETrLEMENr.l
Feb. 10. 1854. :
J. r. BRowy, EsQ.,--DEAR SIR Feeling
sa,isied that any information obtained ,om you may
he relied on, beg to trouble you know how the
report Of Gov. Stevens respecting the route to Ore.

CRATE that country Is il likely be taken by rny
emgrants the ensuing snnmerl Where would be
the grand starting poinll When would they be OPP
posite Peunbnal Any information the above sub
ccts will be appreciated by those residing in those
regions, mare particularly those intending 10 emf
CRATE to Oregon. ] intend tn start for Oregon from
here about the 18th or Goth Of May with from
~ to thirty My from hence will be along
the Saskatchewan River, and enter the mountains,
along Bow River. | know this route well. There
is plenty of wood grass, water. and any quantity o.
game from skunk to grizzly bear, but il thought
mine, wou! joa any party going by that route, say
somewhere to the South and West Of Turtle Moun
tain. Yours sincerely,
JAS. SINCLAIR.
In answer to the enquiries Of Mr.. Sinclair. we vii
state that with the exception of few in the Terri
tory who talk Of going by Gov Stevens Route Il
Washington have not learned that there would b.
an overland emigration by that route next spring.
That, however, is not conclusive that there vii! b.
none, could not he expected to know what ar
engagements being made in the Eastern States
in regard to that subject The route is favorab
spoken Of and IL there should be overland train Il
Washington Territory, next spring, we feel satisfied
it will be by this route. The starting point, rattle
the poiut which the emgrants would reach b.
steamboats,, is Henderson, OF the Minnesota abou
forty miles from Fort Rdgeley. From that poin, tn
road is over good dry Prairie the whole distance L
Fort Union, and there is well broke road for owe
one hundred and fifty miles Of the route A trail
leaving Henderson about the first the tenth c
May, would be opposite Pembna in about fifteen t
twenty days subsequently. From the report Of Gov
Stevens we are led to believe that the route h
passed offers every facility for emigrau
route, with abundance Of wood, water, grass, SC.
and it is without any serious obstruction to the fire
passage of loaded teams.

THE RAILROAD CHARrER.--We pleased
to be able to announce to our readers, that the bill
granting charter for the construction of railroad
from the southern line Of our Territory Lake SUI
peror has become law. While we rejoice at the
Of the first step towards the contamination Of
this great measure, we cannot but feel regret that
many Of friends differ with TO the details Of
the bill which has passed the Legislature and re-
ccived the sanction Of the Governor. All appreciate
and acknowledge the Importance of railroad to the
prosperity OF the Territory, but in their anxiety to
guard against imposition the part Of corpora
tion il seems 10 that among us disposed
to require too much strn.ency in the restrictions and
/ conditions Of "A charter. As the Representative in
the Coui Of some thousands Of citizens, we have
used best exertions TO secure the interests Of the
Territory and future State, in the bill, and having
in connection with the friends Of the charter fro m
other sections, succeeded ia object, gave it
our hearty support. The responsibility we thereby
assumed, we most cheeriuy meet, AMI trust that
time will show the charter TO be alike liberal IN its
character TO the corporaiors and to the interests Of
Minnesota. While We claim TO have been actuated
IN our course by stern sense of duty, cheerfuy
conccde that the opponents of the were in
dueoced by motives equally d;sinteres,ed and hon
orable The question one upon which honest
and independent men might disagree without afford
ing just grounds or animadvcrsion from any quarter
We will publish the charter next week, that the
people may form more correct estimate Of its pro-
visions than could be formed from an examination Of
the copies of the bill printed for the use of the Le-
gsiature. or the copy Of the bill it originally
introduced, published in the Democrat of last week

HON. MR., MACY'S POSITION.

In confirmation of the position which have taken
Mr. Macys friendship for the administration quote
the following from the Sheboygan Lake Journal of the
9th instant leading democratic paper in his district
"WHAr HAS I'VE desire to ask the voters
of this county who supported Bnghurs what they have
gained by doing so? What influence he have with the
present national administration Had he the disposition,
good he accomplish for this county what bene
fetal measure can he carry We believe at all Mr..
Binghurst is very good-natured, clever and when
the perseverng industry to gain nooriey influence
command respect in Washington. He will be
where and nobody and the willy win make tool
of him.
On the other hand, Judge Macy could have accomplish
for the people of this county He would have had
the confidence of the administration and belonging to the
democratic party would have commanded respect at Wash
consummaton of any desired Besides he is
of sound sense and of perseverng and industrious habits
When he undertakes anything he seldom fails to accomplish
it. for these that Outsiders took such extraor
binary pains to defeat him. They fear him. They know
also, that Blnghurst don't to much and do
body much good hurt Hence they prefer the latter to
the former But very much mistaken If Mr. Macy
does not prove thorn in the sides of of these
siders yet, notwithstanding his defeat.
"We think the people of this county will see within the
next years. that they have acted very foohy doing
they they will that they have gained nothing

We copy the following from the Chattanooga Advert
Ii is merited tribute TO the ability and integrity Of
talented and efficient representative whose practice has

found him in that elasticity of spirit and good feel

what impaired during his labos the last session.
glad to improved and judging from his appearance and
the tenor of his conversation Col Smith be put down
of the working and fearless OF the session His
position the agated topics of the territorial bills in which
many good and hitherto reliable fatered on this
question, say that representative stood and
firm and defended manuy the principles of that school
in which he had been taught-the principles as found
in the constitution and by many noble of Tennes-
principles which received his regard and his sup
port We remark that Col Smith is fearless man. and in
saying this found belief hearsay, but
from personal knowledge of his while at the national
capital While many balancing and hesatng between
opinions of right and policy and made the subjects of po
cal harangue, Col Smith from the first took his position on
what he believed the true principles of legislation and the
best interests of his constituents and in these convictions he
remained unshaken. And few DAYS he leaves for
Washington again to act in the legislation of the session
to meet The late elections in the North have nd
Gated sentiment in way friendly to the enactmens Of
the last session the Kansas and Nebraska bills and
although the delegates elect will not take their seats
the coming session. yet such is the sentiment these
questions that the agitation of repeal will be roused and
of the South attacked And the natural in
qury that suggests itself to every constituent is whether
not his representative will prove equal to the
| gency. In the Of COL Smith, the interests of the
third congressional district of Tennessee be safely
fded and if all representatives go up equally firm and
true to the honest convictions of Judgment let what will
there will be found strong and true and equal to
the contest And in the issues that will present them
selves in the coming session. hesitate not saying that
COL Smith will prove himself equally frank and open the
constitution and its guarantee of rights that profers to

ephemera charms that may cluster around the of
unknown organizations organization whose tendencies
other than mingng of State and Church rights
the charms of such institution believe will not, in
the least affect the sentiments the open of
Col. Smith, If the of Mr. Smith had only met the
approval of his constituents it might be said that that APP
prova grew from personal considerations of the
and not from his principles but when hear his
