lover of our country, vindicator Of the rights
of the people, we should prove recreant to our
own feelings and recreant to the trust imposed in
US if we permitted this occasion to pass by without
a thorough exposure Of the wrong committed
upon our citizens. Men of integrity at the East
would repudiate US if we did not repudiate the
acts of mercenary Delegate. We have faith to
believe that the people sciu repudiate them, and
thus preserve untarnisbed the fair name and fame
of our own loved Minnesota.

This sum is for the expenses Of carrying on the

G62. For land surveys in the States and in Man-
nesota over $4,000. 100000 of this is given
to California, and about $85, 900 for this Terrific
ry. The expenses of sustaining the General Gov
erment seem to increase at an incredibly rapid
rate. ..

because some of the citizens gave an insult to our
Minister there, Mr.. Borland. Some OF the prop
erty belonged to French and English citizens, and
they have now called on the American governmens
to indemnify them for their losses. The French
claim 100000; the English 100000; the Ame-
rican residents probably 81, 100000. Total, sz'-
100000 for an extremely foolish act on the part
of the agents of the government. When will men
learn common sense? This is defending our Tag

TIE CoScERr.-Many of our citizens were
delighted last evening with the sweet singing and
playing of the Riley Troupe. The sisters voices
harmonized very sweetly, and the performance on
the various instruments exhibited musical talent
of high order. Miss +" "Fanny" plays with much
ease and grace; Miss &c Mattie'' is perfectly at
home with the Guitar, while Miss &C sAmanda's''
skill on the violncello surpasses the skill Of ma
ny older performers. This combination of musi-
cal talent forms one Of the most pleasing Concerts
we have ever attended. We wish the Riley Troupe
success. They sing at St. Anthony and give one
more Concert in St. Paul on Saturday eve. next
