WORTHY OF TmoUcHT.-A white man and an
Indian were conversing in this city the other day,
when the white man remarked to the red man
that the whites had done a great deal for the In
dams, much more he said, than it was possible
for the red men to do for the whites. The Indian
denied this; he said although the whites had con-
tributed in some instances to the civilization OF
the red men, yet they had contributed in other
ways to their misery. The Indians had always
been happy until the pale faces came among them
and established trading houses, brought ,chisky
among them and made them drunk. ttook their
senses from them, and made them miserable
This is certainly true, the introduction of whisky
among the Indians has been the cause of great
deal of crime and misery, and has been the cause
Of much difficulty to the whites.

That the printed copies of all ordinances, acts

be admitted as sufficient evidence thereof in all

We have been under the impression hitherto
that the power to say what shall and shall not sbe
admitted sufficient evidence in all our courts of
laws in this Territory rested with the law-mak-
ing power,-the Legislature or at least, with
the Courts. Are we right?

GAMBLING.

The Times "camed that Mr.. MARSHALL.
{ first conceived the idea of a railroad from the
Iowa line to St. Paul, and from thence to Lake
Superior"
kso- The Democrat copies the above from
our paper, and with tina, peculiar facility for
garbling which has made Joseph" so cele-
brated, publishes an extract from Mr. Mar
shalls letter, which gives Mr. Rice the credit
of aiding in bringing the first bill for grant of
lands for Railroad purposes, before Congress,
but the editor leaves out that portion of the let
ter which corroborates the above paragraph in
every particular. Mr.. Marshall says that it is
"entirely true" and yet in the face and teeth
of this, the Democrat says that Mr.. Marshall
has given us a "most scathing rebuke." How
much confidence can be placed in journal that
will thus deliberately misrepresent, we leave it
for right-minded men to say.
"Ihc Times is determined to founder about
from one question TO another, opposing measures
one day and advocating them the next" DEM
Ocraf.
Astonishing, Mr.. Democrat! The peope
will probably believe that, but where have you
been for the past six years, if not on the side of
allquestions and all measures? First, hanging
10 the coat-tails of Mr.. Slbley, then advocating
the claims Of Mr.. Rice.--.then casting Rice off,
and going for German; then cutting German
and coming back to Sibley, and then the last
great leap coming back into the arms of Rice.
A dandy-iack could not have turned somersets
more exper,ly than you have during your brief
political career. You are dangerous chap
for the Rice party, for there is no telling when
YOU will desert them.

and to grieve the latter determined to murder his
children, who were greatly beloved by their grand
parents. On the 18th of November last he took

few days SINCE which is significant of the political

vote for his candidate. The hardy, sunburnt

shortly after he remarked, as large robust far

men who will vote for Mr.. Rice" at the same
time slapping MIR. S. on the shoulder. The gen.
ileman quietly responded that he had overheard
the conversation, and did not wish to intefere,
but as to his voting for Mr.. Rice, that was mis-
takc-hc was MARSHALL man-should vote for
Mr.. MARSHALL and should do what he could to
secure his election. Mr.. Murray slored, and for
some time, it was supposed that he had jumped
