INDIGNATION EErING.

We call upon all those in favor of free speech
ana constitutional rights who deprecate the
murderous assault on Senator Sumner, and who
have nerve enough to express their Indignation
at that brutal act, to meet in concave III this
city, on Tuesday or some subsequent evening, IT.
respective of party. and by resolves and speeches,
express fearessly their condemnation of the con-
duet of the Rufian Brooks, of South Carolina,
who, in his cowardy attack on the Senator from
Massachusetts, has virtually said to the North
there is no free specch.-If
We heartily concur with the above suggestion,
and no the meeting will be held at an early
day. Let those of our citizens and we have
many such-who have the soul and courage to
speak above their breath, circulate a call forth
with. Let us see what can be done IT. ST. Paul.
--lia,
As soon as the time is set for the holding of the
suggested meeting, we will give publicity to the
fact, in the mean time we trust every man
that has a soul AMI sufficient courage to own
it, will interest himself in this movement.

BALDWIN ScHooL HoUsE.-We suggested the
other day, that trees be set out about this School
House in order to give it m air Of refinement and
comfort. We learn that the Trustees are using
their best exertions to this end, but in order to
accomplish e6ectuaily what they desire to, and
make this institution the leading Female Academy
in Minnesota, they must have the aid and CO.
operation of the citizens. Shall they have it /?
Five or six hundred dollars would repair the
building and adarn the grounds, and once adorn-
ed Nature would be prolific in her bounteous
bestowment. Look at the building now-doesn't
it resemble a jail? Shame!-let us plant trees
around it to shield the little ones from the rays
of the scorching sun.

THURSDAY JUNE Is, 1856.



In rummaging over our dusty papers that
have lain undisturbed during our three months
absence at the East, we discovered the follow
ing poetic effusion, from the pen Of B. +.
Taylor, Esq, written for the Minnesota
Weekly Times. We gladly turn from the
strifes and contentious of politicians the assaults
and blackguardism Of Southern ruffians, the
blood end carnage that exultingly triumph on
the fertile plains Of Kansas-to visit once
again, though briefly, the paths Of Nature, and
listen to the warblings Of a genuine poet
Mr.. Taylor's thoughts are original his image
ry beautiful, and like an angel enveloped in
golden clouds, he trips along to the music of
his own numbers. Listen!
For the Minnesota Times.
BEAUTIFUL "MAG."
Respectfully Inscribed to NJ. A. II.
b. 7. TAYLOR. l.-.
Oh have you not seen on some morning in June,
When IN tears and the forest In tune
And the pillows Of dawn broke light on the air,
On the breast brightest, Star clngng there2
Sentinel Star not ready to set?
Forgetting wanc, and watching there yet
How you gazcd that vision of beauty awhile!
How wavercd, till won by the light OF Gods smile!
passed through the portals Of pearl, like bride,
How paled passed, and the Morning Star died!
The sky was all blushrs-the world was all bliss
prayer your heart g be ending like ths
SO my beautiful &c Mago psssed away from ifes even,
So the blush Of her being blended with Heaven
so the Of my bosom, Autered up to the dawn
All window open my darling was gone
trnant from time, from tears and from SIM
For the angel on watch, took the wanderer in
MARBLES the sNcw Song that she SIMS,
shall know her again, notwiths anding her wings
eyes Heavenly the light on her air,
And smile here, she will surely wear there
ST. PAUL, April 10th, 1856.
The first verse is equal to anything we have
read from the pen Of the famous Alexan-
der Smith, We thank Mr. Taylor for grazing
our columns, and hope in the future he may
find time to send us another Gem.-ED.

STATEMENT OF Mr.. SUMNER.-The statement OF
Mr.. Sumner clearly shows that what has already
been published relative to the late brutal assault,
has not been exaggerated, but that 1t is really
worse than the pens of Journalists have made 1t.

The Naval Retiring Board 4.

Petitions from tie best officers in the ma.
w and from citizens are already pouring in
to the United States Senate, against the
grossly unfair and altogether an.i-repubii-
can action Of the naval Retiring Board. One
of the Senators well designated that action
as infamous, and we will be much surprised
il such star. chamber proceedings receive
the sanction Of the Representatives of the
people. The whole matter needs thorough
and most sitting investigation; that fayorit-
ism, where it has been exercised, may be
properly exposed, and the many gross in.
stances Of injustice may be redressed. We
remember, with some degree Of pleasure,
that as soon as we heard Of the anomalous
proceedings Of this Board, we gave them
our unhestating condemnation, and we are
IT'LL further pleased to think that they can
not stand the ordeal Of Congressional in
yestgation.

bluff to the North East, and overlooks the

sissippi winding its dull steady course
amidst rocks and forests in the distance, and
Davenport lying in mute silence beneath
you. Mr.. LIE Claire is thorough business
man, apparently about sixty years old, and
while you are looking at him, the convic-
ton forces itself upon you that you are see

your thoughts are oftener upon his i'm
