Bring blck to thee the jewel lost,

A GOOD OLD POEM.

Who shall Judge man fom nature ?
Who shall know him by his dress
Paupers may be 6t Cor princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumpled SHIRT and dirty jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
Ofthe deepest thought and feeling,
Satin vests could do no more.
There are springs ofcrystal nectar
Ever swelling out of stone
There are purple bsds and golden
Hidden. crushed and oversrown.
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and n'e,
While lie values tn, ones the highest
But as pebbles on the sea.
Man, upraised above his fellows,
OFT iorgets his fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords, Tememb,r
That your meanest hands are men
Men Of labor, men OF feeling,
Men 10y thought and men by fame.
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
There arc little weed-clad rills,
There are feeble inch.hiyh sapiings,
There are cedars on the hills
God, who counts by souls not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me
For TO him all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles on the sea.
Toi!ing hands alone are builders
Ola nations wealth and fame;
Titled lazines, is pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same,
BY the sweat Of Others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice.
While the poor mans outraged freedom
vainly Iifteth up his voice
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with Ioveliness and light
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there Is a starry night.
God, whose world heard voice " singing
Boundless love to you and inc,
Sink oppression with its titles,
Az the pebbles on the sea.

PUBLIC MEETING AT HASTINGS.

On Tuesday, July IL, the Democratic citi-
zens of Hastings assembled in the squared in
front of the Hastings House
About one hundred and fifty persons then
pledged themselves to oppose the nomination
of H. NJ. Rice. ~ -
The meeting was called at short notice, but
all were prepared for an expression of their
opinions, and gave that expression by endors.
ing the resolutions presented with loud and
repeated cheers.
The meeting was called to order by the
choice of Henry G.. Bailey, Chairman and
William Lee, Secretary
After some remarks by Messrs. j. c. Dow
and o. T. Hayes, wherein the Republicans
Know Nothings and Rice men were handled
without gloves, Hon. H. Fl. Sibley, being
loudly called for, made manly and eloquent
speech.
J. G. Dow then offered the following reso.
utions, which were passed without dissent
ng voice. .-......
Resolved, That an organization of party in
Minnesota upon Democratic principles is es.
sential to the future good of the Territory, and
that it is the duty of all men who have acted
with the Democratic party in the States to
stand firmly by such an organization.
Resolued, That while we all acknowledge and
will urge an organization of the party, we
will always oppose any organization that does
not embrace in its creed the we'll tried priuci-
Piles of the party;-that all combinations and
connections with any of the "isms" of the
day are antagonistic to the Democratic party,
and that any compromise with the Republican
or Know Nothing order of the present day,
should meet with the scorn and opposition of
true Democrats.
RESOLVED, That Minnesota demands Rep
resentative in Congress who will not prosti-
tute his official character for the vile purpos-
es of enrlching Wall Street Brokers, and for
that, and other reasons, we will ever oppose
the nomination of H. NJ. RICE.
The meeting adjourned.

by blood to the Sioux nation, and appeals
most confidently to the President of the United
States to prevent any movement or instruc-
lions on the part Of his subordinate officers
which may enure to the prejudice of the legal
claimants. Sc.
Fifth, That the boundaries OF said tract are
clearly defined in the treaty, so clearly as not
to be susceptible of misrepresentation, and any
endeavOr to restrict said boundary lines so as
to deprive the mixed bloods of any part of their
lands, should be resisted by every legal and
proper means.
Sixth, That this Convention recommend to
the Sioux mixed bloods, to employ able coun-
sci to vindicate their rights, and to take all
needful measures to cause the aforesaid treaty
stipulations to be carried into effect
Seventh, That this Convention further re-
commend to the said mixed bloods, that the
necessary steps be taken, should unhappily the
executive branch of the Government decide
adversely to their application, to cause the
whole question to be transferred for decision
to the judicial tribunals of the country, and as
last resort to the Supreme Court of the
United States, to the end that the true and
proper Interpretation of the treaty of 1880
may be made known.
Eighth, That while the Sioux mixed bloods
will not proceed to effect by violence the occu-
pants of their lands, so secured to them by
treaty, they have right 20 look to the Gov
eminent of the United States, not only that
said lands shall be secured to them as the
rightful owners thereof, but for the payment Of

mixed bloods, of the Sioux bands Of Indians,
parties to the treaty of 1880, to the tract on
Lake Pepin, set apart in said treaty for their
benefit, Individually and collectively, is indie
feasible and absolute, and that no power ex-
lists either in the Government of the United

right.
Second, That any efforts which have been
made, or are now being made, to secure the
title of any portion of said Half Breed Tract,
to others than mixed blood Sioux, of the bands
aforesaid, without the consent of said mixed
bloods, are wrong in principle, and are in open
violation of treaty stipulations and of the pub,
lie faith.
Third, That the law of the last Congress
passed with reference to said tract, was evil
IDENTIFY intended to guarantee the rights Of said
mixed bloods to the lands in question, and not
to be SO construed as to give any color of right
to other occupants, until the consent or CO.
operation of the said mixed bloods should be
obtained.
Fourth, That this Convention protests mosts
solemnly against the assumption of any power

She took down quite number of passengers.
The Falls City, after sojourn of some

exertions made to get within long range of the
lower line of st. Anthony City, which comes
down to an indefinite limit for that purpose.
She has undergone some repairs, made neces-
sary by the bad effects Of the trip upon her
hull, by the incivility and rudeness of boulders
and sand bars, and having been duly put in
order here, by our mechanics, left yesterday
morning for Rock Island, with Capt. Edward
Murphy in charge, in place of Capt. Gilbert,

morning, and after having put the small freight
she brought, on board the Wharf boat, started
