DIVISION OF THE TERRlrORY.

portion of Minnesota north Of line running
east and west at that point. as contemplated by
Mr.. Rolet,e's Memorial, part OF the general
scheme, to get the territory. or part thereof,
organized into State! ea
We think that it would be effort wasted, to
cndeavor to get Congress to create a new
nursing by dividing the old, without at the
same time getting rid Of the old one. Has the
General Government become SO lavish Of its
funds, as to be willing at the instance Of town
spectators on Lake Superior, to assume the
additional expense OF a new territorial govern
mrnt, to govern the same extent Of territory,
that one government, is now amply sufficient
to take care of7 We apprehend no danger Of
division Of the Territory by lines running
either east and west or north and south, until
the people Of the Territory are prevailed upon
by hungry office.serkers, to assume the addi-
tional expense Of all the paraphernalia OF a
State Government, and by her new constitu-
ton reduce her present boundaries as Wiscon-
sin did hers by cutting us of:
The people are not yet ready to pay addi-
tona taxes for state officers salaries simply for
the poor boon of living under State Govern
ment, even if some needy fellows are anxious
for the honors or pay, their additional taxation
would create.
But if the government at Washington shall
be so beset by town spectators and importunate
friends LISTING for the offices Of new terrific
rial government as to override all question Of
economy, and organize part Of Minnesota
into new excuses for treasury disbursements,
we mos, earnestly beg to be split from north to
south instead Of east to west-split so that We,
as well as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, ILL.,
nois, and Wisconsin, may have harbor on
the great northern Chain Of lakes and on the
navigable waters Of the Mississippi or its trib-
uiaries.
