THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 1, 1h55
The Apportionment.


We may perhaps run against the opinions OF
some .men more competent to judge in the
premises than we, but we must say, that any
schemes to defeat the apportionment bill, (which
is now before the House, will, if successful, be
an act of wrong-doing from which no man who
may engage in the act should ever recover
He may get around his spiteful vote by at
tempting to say that other members did not
vote on other questions as they had promised
This is not a fair excuse, nor an honest excuse
and there can be no fair excuse, for wronging
tens Of thousands of our population out of a
fair and just representation in the Legislature
Should st. Paul defeat this apportionment
bill this session. let her rest assured she will
have no more claims upon the "west side
hereafter, and will deserve no favors from
that quarter. She has already suffered severe
ly this session through the unwise and short
sighted policy of portion other House dele
CATION, and we hope the desperate and foolisl
game will be played no further.

Foreign News.


It will be seen that Lord Palmerston was the
only statesman of England who could succeed
in calling together new Ministry, after the re-
signation of the imbecile Aberdeen and his in
efficient associates. Palmerston is the man for
the times and if we are not much mistaken
the English nation will not regret that he is
placed at the head of the Ministry at the pre-
sent crisis.
We may now look for war operations to be
placed upon new footing. Lord Raglan will
in all probability be recalled; and if the
Queens service holds man within it that has
the energy, skill and judgment to conduct sue
cessfully the expedition in the Crimea, he is
probably, ere this, on his way to relieve Aber-
deems favorite of further anxiety in regard to
the siege of Sebastopol.
