HENNEpIN Council DIsTR1cT.-We learn
that Mr.. Ames intends declining the Repub-
lican nomination for Councillor in the above
District. His reasons for declining we have
not particularly learned:
The Republicans of Carver county, and the
precincts of Hennepin south and west of
Lake Minnetonka and Little Falls creek,
are called upon to meet, in Delegate Conven-
tion,-at Eden Prairie School House, on Sa-
turday, Sept 18th, at one o'clock, P. NJ, 'sto
nominate,'' as the call expresses it, 1.-TWO
Representatives, and to transact such other
business as the interests of the Republican
cause may domand.'' r - -
Mr.. Hanson, the Rice nominee for Coun-
Gil in the Hennepin District, is going about
among. the people, we understand, stating
that Mr.. Rice is an anti-Nebraska man--that
Mr.. Rice has SO informed him, (Mr. H. &c.
The day. that Mr.. Hanson, or any other of
Mr.. Rice's worshipers, may choose to give
this statements tangible and responsible
shape, we pledge ourselves to prove that they
have no authority for making it.
MORE "TRIcKs" Republican friends
have been caught mapping in Wright county,
as we learn froin the St. Anthony Retubli-
can. They were led into so-called ''People's
Convention" and once in, the opponents of
Republicanism undertook to entrap them in
to the support of a bitter opponent for Rep
resentatiye. They, however, got out of the
scrape by withdrawing, and afterwards pro-
ceeded to nominate j. Mcdonald as their can
didate for Representative subject, we pre-
sumo, to the ratification of the Republicans
OF Cass and Stearns counties, and the pre-
cincts of Rum river and Manomin, in Ramsey
county, which counties and precincts comprise
the remainder Of their district, entitled to
one Representative. Our friends in all parts
Of the Territory cannot be TOO careful in
keeping clear of these "coalition" traps. We
found several set few weeks since in the
Southern counties, but they have now all
been sprung without catching any Republi-
cans The word is, to nominate no man for
the Legislature, and to support or work for
no mans election, except he be competent for the
post, aid a genuine Republican to 5oot-one who
spstains the present organization in par
ticular. Pass the aootd along the hne!!
HoT WEATHER.-We are having a regular
spell Of July weather at this time, with the
thermometer at 95. But while we in town
suffer, the country people are rejoicing over
the rapid ripening of their corn; buckwheat,
and other crops.
Now, AND THEN.-In the month of May,
1852, says the st. Anthony Express, par
ty consisting of George F. Brott, Mr.. Will
ley, Mr.. Garvey, Mr.. Bunting and Mr..
Stevens, hauled large boat to Minnetonka,
and after exploring the lake landed at the
military bridge near Fort Smelling. At that
time there were only three or four houses in
Minneapolis, and there We're no impfoveInaents
between Minneapolis and Minnetonka-
any settlement around the lake. There were
only two houses on Little Falls Greek. Now

on the whole route those gentlemen went
over, and most of the claims have good sub
stantial improvements on them. One Of the
parties named, went over the same road last
week, and he informs us that it looks like an
old settled country. Comfortable farm hou-
ses have been built, broad fields have been
enclosed and cultivated, which contain wheat,
oats. corn, and all other crops that are raised
here, and grist mills have been put INTO ope-
ration, school houses have sprung, up, and
where they built their camp-fires, town sites
are laid off, and villages that contain mechan-
les and all professional men, as well as busy
and industrious people, are in the boundaries
of this journey. Now it is fertile, healthy,
prosperous region, inhabited by generous,
good class of citizens;-the it was an expan-
sive forest-a home for the wild beasts and
the poor Indians.
