Sibley and Willim, recommended the annulment
of the charter, while MIR. Fridley opposed it.
Nor REMovED.-The Minnesotian and Demo
crat both state that Mr.. WARREN has not been re-
moved from the Office of U. s. District Attorney
for Minnesota. He has been suspended.
REsIcNEp.-NIr. Soule, our Minister to Spain,
has resigned his position and Mr.. Breckenridge is
to take his place. His appointment will probably
| be confirmed.
LET THEM COME!
| We are anticipating an accession to our Minne-
sofa immigration, on the opening of Spring nav-
CATION, of Il character hitherto unknown. Thou
sands of discharged laborers and idle artizans,
itching, with latent energies are impatiently look
ing to our broad prairies, as the remedial agents
needed in the disordered rule of supply and de-
mand while broken merchants will gather up
their remnants and hurry from the scenes of their
disasters into the untricd West.-Let them come!
Space and unused soil are two things we are pos
sessed Of as yet The years following sc, which
witnessed such commercial disasters along our
sea- a-board, were the years that peopled the West
beyond all precedent The present revuls;on is
neither so wide spread nor ruinOus. Working
men have got means left but the future threatens
them and they will prefer getting nearer the from
ier,where socety's arrangements bear less une-
qualy upon them, and the race IS to the swift and
the battle to the strong. We predict an emigra-
ton from the sca-board to the centre of our Con-
tinent during the coming season, wholly unex-
ampled save in the migratory fever that hurried
the people en- masse to the California Ell Dorado.
Let them come Minnesota would not be behind
in exhibiting her wares. We have soil black
with the clements of fertility, without the price
set upon it which the luckless emigrant pays who
ventures upon the peStilcntial ''bottoms' of Hi
nois and Indiana. IIcalthful breezes play
among our oak groves, ana luscious fish fill our
lmpid lakes. Let capable, industrious men who
would secure delightful home and sure COM
potency, come to Minnesota.
CT Reports curious to the Commercial
Bank of Kentucky, at Paducah, are pronounced
false by the Missouri Democrat, which youches
for its soundncss.
Cy7 The nominal assets of Mcssrs. Wads-
worth & Sheldon, are, as given by themselves,
$l,5OO,O0o, and their liabilities 81 100000.
They were the principal owners of the Mcr-
chants Bank, of Macon, Georgia, using its bills
for circulation in the West.
Gg Money is tight-no doubt of ia man in
tight pants-n tight place at the time-and &C.
staticaly ti.ht himsclf-oiferng 10 per cent. per
month for So, on the security Of his ,rOrd of
honOr-and the unhcs.tating refusal by the bro
kers of these advantageous illustrates the
prevailing tshtncss, well as the st. Anthony
Celebration itself, if possible. 1t is a solemn
fa:t-money is tight.
Great Mawmon was it ever loose. Nat smiles
at this excamation-pr, ,duccs two half dimes,
one three cent piece and {. rusty watch key-says
that's all the loose change he has got-admts that
all the rest of his money is tight.
[.-5' 1t is rumored that Page & Bacon have re-
sufnei. This may be premature, but it is not un-
expected.
CT5" The panic has subsidized at st. Louis. The
Banks there have triumphantly borne the recent
run upon them. The following card appears in
the St. Louis papers:
To THE PUBLlC.-Iti is with the greatest satisfac-
ton that we are able to announce that all drafts
on Page, Bacon & Co., California, on us, orders
and other correspondents in the Atlantic States
will be promptly paid by the bank of America,
New York. Holders of such drafts will please
forward for payment.
st. Louis, January l5, 1855.
y" The failure of Wordsworth & Sheldon, of
New York, is generally spoken of as partaking of
sharp fnanccering. The impression given out
that their Western correspondents were over
drawn is unjust, cxccptin cases where they them
selves were partners in the houses. The giving
out of checks for drafts, and in payment of loans,
and they emitting to make their Bank account
good, was certainly very dishonroable act.
We refer particularly, to their paying up loans
and receiving the securities on checks which have
not been honored. The swamping of the moneys
of the State of Illinois, to the amount of one
hundred and eighty Thousand dollars, thus letting
the interest of the State go unpaid, is financial
transaction equally dubious in its character.
Cy We have received the following note from
the cashier of the Westminster Bank, Providence,
r. |. We do not publish it entire, but give all
the pith of his remarks
''The Westminster Bank has not failed. It has
not lost one dollar by bad debts, and its assets
arc all perfectly good and sound, and it ALWAYS
has and now continues to redeem its bills at the
Suffolk Bank, Boston, and at its counter, and is
doing prosperous business"
Cy- The New Haven Railroad Company have
offered $1,000, for the apprehension of Robert
Schuyler.
ca The Cashier of the Merchants Bank of
Massilon, Ohio, writes as follows:
