SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years.
upon all tho various paints and artificial prepara
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect
I am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject 10 the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, al
Washington, and shall send with it a complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood anG metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
paratons, and then exposed alike Or an entire
season, in salt water, opposite thisi,vy yard; all
of which illustrates, in the most,tr sil. manner
the invaluable qualities and decided ,perority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all'.i er kinds

You are at liberty TO give full puo-city to the
above stated facts, which are of 100 much impor-
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial

FROM MINNESOTA.
MINNEAPoLIs, MINNESOTA TY.,
L,.,, I'll 1OES

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA TY.,
June ii, 1855.
We have taken the preliminary step to or.
ganize Republican party in this Territory. A
Territorial Convention, for the purpose of NOM
mating candidate for delegate to Congress,
and to perfect the organization, is called, to
meet at st. Paul, July Goth. County Conven-
tons are called to meet, July 4th, to choose
delegates to the frst-named Convention. The
Republican, published at ST. Anthony, is a
faithful and able exponent of the principles and
aims of the Republican party.
The Minnesotian, formerly Wing, published
at st. Paul, comes out in favor of the Republi-
can party; and the Times, published at the
same place, although not fully committed to
the movement, evidently sympathizes with it.
The emigration to this Territory, it is supposed,
will be very large this spring-a large proportion
of them from the Eastern and Middle States.
Among many worthy, energetic men, who in
tend to become permanent residents in our
Territory, we welcome none more heartily than
DR.. Jewett, formerly of Massachusetts He is
extensively known as a very able Temmrance
lecturer. 1t is hoped that he will be thorn in
the sides of the rum-selers here-a class, re-.
greet to say, quite numerously represented in
st. Paul, the capital Of the Territory.
l see it stated, in the papers here, that. Gen.
Shields, indignant perhaps that the people of
Illinois should prefer to be represented in the
United States Senate by Judge Trumbull, rather
than himself, Is about to shake off the dust of
his feet against them, and make his permanent
abode in Minnesota. Respectfully, yours.

was said to have been nominated few weeks
ago in Cincinnati by the Know Nothings, it is a
hoax. DR.. Bailey, if the Know Nothings are
instrumental in placing s. P. Chase in the Gu
hernatorial chair of Ohio, will you think it
right?
They THE Free-Soil Know Nothings, of whom
there are plenty rejoice to see such men as
"Pap Taylor" of the Times defeated; they
have no sympathy with such time-servers as he
is, and men of his ilk, that ignore the Slavery
question; for Senator Wilson says, and that
truthfully, that any man, or party, that tries to
ignore the Slavery question, must and will die
forever. The people of the North are fully
aroused to sense of their danger, and are not
going to be drawn into party that does not
make Human Freedom the paramount issue in
its platform. Dr. Bailey, commend you for
your independent position as an editor, on Know
Nothingism, and all other subjects, but think
your zeal is without knowledge on the Know
Nothing question. We will try and take care
of ourselves. Yours for the Right, Sc.

ditions and the principles of our Government.
1t is hostile to the interest, the honor and Just
claims of the North, the East, and the West,
and cannot be accomplished without subverting
the maxims of the Constitution, and relinquish-
ing forever the glorious aims of its patriotic
founders. To submit to it would be base sur
render of our rights as members of Constitu-
tional Republic confession that we are I'M
worthy to maintain the liberties that our fore
fathers established.
This issue, which-unsought by us-has been
/ forced upon us, is the great question now be-
fore the American people, Not content with
the protection against foreign invasion and do
mestic connections afforded by the Consttu-
ton. claim is now advanced that Slavery shall
extend itself wherever the national sway is es-
tablished; that the fair form of American Free
dom is indissolubly connected with the paraly-
zing institution of Slavery; and that the citizens
of the free States are not to be admitted into
the public territory unless they are accompa-
MED by the whip of the overseer and the letters
of the slave.
With this issue impending, the Republican
State Committee would urge upon their fellow
citizens to confer no political trust upon persons
whose opinions on this question are not in unison
with their own.
Firmness and discretion are both reqnired at
this Juncture; out IL we seek 10 preserve the
national honor unsullied, we must reject all mi
nor differences, and take care that New York
shall hereafter present an unbroken front on the
side of Freedom in every Department of the
Government.
A Convention will be called, in the month of
August next, to present State ticket, and we
solicit your cooperation in selecting proper del
egates. Yours, respectfully,
j. BLUNT, Chairman
ofMe Republican State Committee.
