ders as regards this question of slavery, viz
that it is sectional, not National that it is
the creation of local law, instead OF being the
off spring of the Constitution. 1t will recog-
nize, in it's broadcast sense, the guarantees OF
tire Constitution, in sanctioning and protecting
slavery where it already exists, and will coun-
tenance no invasion of the rights which the
Shareholder may justly claim. But it will IN
terpose to prevent the wide and latitudinarian
construction now attempted to be put upon the
constitution, by affirming that it carries slavery
into any Territory which we may possess or
acquire-and it will sternly rebuke the profit
gate and dangerous exercise of the power OF
slavery in controlling the legislation OF the
country by debauching members OF Congress,
and other public men, with official patronage,
by sullying the ermine, and placing the gifts OF
government as. rewards for subserviency and
dough-faceism.
The Repeal of the Missouri Compromise has
fastened the crisis in the decision of the ques-
ton between Freedom and Slavery many years.
The controversy is upon us, and must be met.
Emboldened by the submissiveness of the North,
by her acquiescence in the consummation of the
schemes of those who are plotting to strength
en- the peculiar Institution" the South is con-
stantly pushing from extreme to extreme, as
if desiring to test the utmost verge of North
ern endurance. Already we see the minions
of slavery attempting to force tile Institution
upon the settlers of Kansas, with scenes of
bloodshed and lawlesSness. A Democratic Ad-
ministration, too, sanctions and applauds these
disgraceful proceedings, and lends a helping
hand by removing the only obstacle to the con-
summation of their nefarious schemes.
The issue has been made up at the South
the alternative is presented, and there is no
eyading it. Either we must fall in with the
sectional and narrow schemes of the slavery
propagandists, or we must, as becomes Free
men, plant ourselves upon the Constitution and
attempt to stay the progress of the blight of
slavery. We have acquiesced-we have com
promised and succumbed so long, that arrogance
has taken the place of patriotism, and the
South has been emboldened to make the most
impudent and preposterous demands. A sla-
very party has already existed in the South
for years-now, it absorbs or overwhelms all
other political distinctions. Its purposes are,
not to secure their constitutional rights, but to
extend slavery over the entire continent. II
the liberal and patriotic men of the country
will firmly stand by the constitution and the
laws-if they will take such political action as
will show that the propagation and strength
ening of slavery is not the only purpose of our
government, the ambitious and dangerous
schemes of the %nullifers will be checked, and
the influence of the institution confined within
proper bounds. If they hesitate or delay, OF
cavil about mere names, the time is fast has
tening when it will be treason to doubt the
divinity and justice of slavery, and when to
speak the sentiments of a Freeman, will be
held a crime.

RED Wing, March IA, 1855.
LEAR AiNNEsoTIAN:-Asy you have always been
The friend as we'll as the favorite of the citizens
OF Ked wing, thought TO impose a few lines
on your goodness from this interesting Village.
which, unlike all other towns in our Territory.
hasreached its present position and Importance.
not through ''paper pufs' and local interest.
but by its own advantages and the disinterest-
cd industry of its proprietors.
Last Monday evening the members of the
''Red Wing Literary Society" entertained US,
first with the reading of the "Social WREATH
by Mrs. Knapp and Mrs. Bevans. The paper
was filed with talented contributions, among
which the most interesting were-"The Poeti-
cal Letter. "a Duck in Jordan" Captain
Smith and Colonel Lowater," and the little
boy, who thought the first three letters of the
Alphabet were ''Let-her-go," "Let-her-rip,"
and "Let-her-slide," is good index to the re-
al "go-ahead-ative" genius of Red Wing. The
Wreath was we'll read; all were greatly pleased
and interested; and even the beauty Of the
Editresses would have made me glad had it not
been for the sad thought that the best girls are
already ,con'en. After the reading of the pa
per followed debate by the male members Of
the society. This also was interesting and in
structive; but the young men of Red Wing
must fling their colors to the breeze ,"early at
the dawn of day. or, after having ascended
the ladder of intellectual fame they will have
the modification of finding the young ladies all
On the top round.
The Land Office is doing Touring bus
iness This we expected, for the Red Wing
District Includes by far, the best tract of land
in the Territory, aud is being settled by hun
dreds of the most enterprisng and industrious
farmers During the first month there were
about two hundred and twenty-five declarato-
ry statements filed and some thirty claims
"proved up Our Land Officers are, VEN
ture to say. the best and most liberal men Of
any in our Territory who occupy similar posi-
tOns. They are western men, with western
views and principles.
The Hamline University is in the most pros
porous condition. Professor Brooks is just the
man for pioneer institution of this kind. The
trustees purpose building this spring for the
Preparatory Department And this school we
think is destined to be the best and most popu-
lar Of the Territory. .-.-- .- .--
Red Wings future will be more prosperous
than ever had been hoped. The town is filing
up with superior class of people, and the sur
rounding country will soon bloom and blossom
from the labor of the honest farmer We shall
soon want press. Should any one think to
favor us in this way, we will return the compli-
ment BY a most liberal support. Let some good
man come Oh with his press and send out to the
world the Red Wing Pioneer, Gas a name for in
stance,) ladened with the morality, temper
ance, industry generosity and talent of the
Red Wingers and we have no doubt but the
world will be better for his coming.
