THE APPoRTIoNMENT.-Our Legislators have
not as yet agreed upon any plan of apportion-
ment It strikes lis that it is high time they
we're at the work, else the rapidly populating
parts of Minnesota will, for another year at
least, be deprived of their just rights. There
is no kind Of justice or reason in suffering
another election Of members Of the Council and
House to take place under the old apportion-
ment law. The men, either in OR out of the
Legislature, who would uphold such a fragrant
outrage upon the rights of the present popula.
fion of the Territory, will most assuredly be
remembered hereafter. A fair and equal ap
portionment is required by law, justice and
right and he that would interpose to defeat
such measure will not be shown much mercy
at the peoples hands.

Prof. Ewing, and added greatly to the appear
ance of the audience. By notice read oy tue
President, it appears the Rev. ID. M. NIchois'
ofStillwater, is expected to lecture at the BAL
dwin Institute next Friday evening. The de-
lightfulness of the entertainment was IN nc
small degree enhanced by the choice selections
of music that were executed on the organ as
the audience were collecting and retiring, by
Prof. n P. Ingalls,, late of Boston. Some rare
music may be expected at the next lecture
from the same source.
The subject of the lecture was "The Social
Canvass" The lecturer painted the face Of
society on an immaginary canvass, with mas
ter hand. and with truthfulness all must &C
knowledge, although the picture represented
many features, which artifice would cover up
and which we would rather did not exist. lie
opened by referring 70 the great improvements
and discoveries going on in the world in the
arts, sciences and literature, and in nearly the
following remarkable words the picture begar
to be developed:

great canvass that cuts otfrom our view the
wonder freighted future, pictured over will
the shadows of the present. thrown upon it by
the old undimmed lamp of the past it reveal:
forms and figures assuming shapes, and contor
tons of such mOnstrOus size as TO seem the
distortions of an over excited inauguration
He proceeded to delineate the different ex
pressions, that mark the face Of society, and
which move, govern and control human action
He colored with great taste and expressive
ness and presented with genuine humor, the
effect on societies face, of fashion, humbug
avriciousness, religion, politics, literature, &c
The lecturer was frequently interrupted by
applause and closed by referring to the con
vulscd state of the world, and drew most at
tractive pictures of the coming millennium
when wars and contentious should cease, when
the thistle of Scotland the shamrock of Ire
land and the lilly of France shall be lost in the
universal emblem. the olive branch of peace
The delivery was full, clear and distinct and
oft-time5 eloquent. Everything passed of
very agreeably and the audience re-
turned home well satisfied with the entertain
ment, and with full determination to give the
Association the support it so justly merits.
