Timothy 1--WE mean Thomas) NJ. Newson, th
editor of the Times. publishes an extract from
memorial presented to the Legislature b,
the Hon. Jos. Rolette. of Pembna and make
several remarks touching its strict grammatical
construction, as follows --
MINNESOTA LEGISLATIVE LITERATURE.-We
ind the following choice specimen ofMinneso
IA Legislative literature in q memorial to Con
gress. which passed without amendments:
Section 2. Your memorialists further state
that from the oppression of the British colony
OF Selklrk settlement upon the Indians who
are under the protection of the United States
they have within few months committed out.
RACES upon the American whites living at
Pembna. They have murdered the wife of
lev. Mr.. Spencer. by shooting her through the
window while setting at her own ireside, with
her baby in her arms and her family around
her. They have. also, stampeded our horses
ana cattle. within the last few weeks, which
have never been heard of.
Would it not be we'll for the sapient editor
of The Times, before criticising the productions
OF others-not conductors of public prints-to
overhaul some of his own articles, and correct
some of the fragrant outrages he has committed
upon the vernacular. The member from Penn
bina, will doubtless be able to settle the per-
sonal fling at himself with the pigmy who aims
it: we simply desire to compare notes. as be-
tween the article above quoted and the follow
ing from the Times of the 80 ult. We have
marked some portions of it in italic that the
points may be more readily discovered
CLIMATE OF MINxEsoTA.-Many people think
that because we are located so far North. there
fore our climate is almost endurabie. This is
mistake. gentlemen--an entire mistake
The average range of the thermometer is
perhaps from two to five below zero. and yet
the weather is not as cold and chilly as in
the East. the reason being that the air is pur-
or and the blood circuiGteS more quickly and
freely through the body, and consequently
the body is warmer. We have known The Their
mometer to be FORTY degrees below zero, and
yet during this weather wood-choppers de-
lighted in telling the n,Onarchs of the forests
an their shirt sleere'. We candidly aver that
the winters of Minnesota are far preferable
and more healthier than those of the East, and
this is the opinion of those who have resid-
ed in both places. To-day the Sun is shining
brightly and warmly. and still there is no per-
ceptable thaw-the sleighing is excellent. If
you wish to come to Minnesota, don't let the
cold winters prevent you. for they are the most
agreeable portions Of the gear.
Gentlemen emigrants come! The climate is
not almost endurable. The weather here is
warmer than at the East, because the "blood
circulates more quickly and freely" Come!
and behold the process of feeling the monarchs
of the forests in their shirt sleeves" Come!
The winters are "more healthier" ana are the
most agreeable portions of the year." How
many winters we hare in gear, you will
learn when you shall have felt the GOODNESS of
them. as our great modern Minnesota critic.
