enumerated and distinguished as follows The
Copper Indians, the Loaeheux or Quarreiers,
The Hare Indians, the Dog ibs and the Stroog-
bow Indians inhabiting the valley Of Maekenxe' 4
river Chipewyans and the Cree tribe, residing
on the Athabasca; the Beaver IDdiar and

chewsn and the Miss-kee-Goose or Swampy
Indians, and the Esquimaux on the shores OF
Hudsons Bay.
The facts given above in regard to the Had-
sons Bay Company derive additional impor
tancc from the fact that the rights Of the con-
paDy arc at the present time under discussion
between the British and American governments.
The questions under discussion between the two
governments, have reference TO certain property
lying within the jurisdiction Of the United
States, but belonging to the company, which
they are anxious to dispose Of and also to u
proposition on the part Of England to have a
new boundary line established between the pos
sessions Of the two Governments Westward Of
lake Superior, whereby the misunderstanding
constantly occurring in that region between the
conflicting Indian traders and hunters may be
obviated.

The Legislature.

The Legislature now in session Is doing IN
immense amount OF business. The number Of
bills, memorials, and joint resolutions already
introduced. fully equals the whole number pass
ed upon by any previous Legislature. 30, II
Minnesota Is not well governed the present year,
il will not be through lack OF law.
We are gra.i6ed at the bearing Of the ma
jority 10 the two Houses, not merely because
they are our political friends, but because they
have conducted themselves in an intelligent,
discreet. and courteous manner. They are no.
talking but active, working MEMBER straight
forward, practical men, who will leave their
impress for good on the legislation Of the Ter.
ritory. AS such. we are proud Of the Demo
cratic majority.
Until lately. the opposition presses have
sought every occasion which inexperience 10
legislation gave them. to bring individual
members into ridicule before the public.
These attempts ut depreciation have 10,
been notified by us, for the reason that We had
faith in the substantial, intelligent eharacter
Of the Democratic members to " work out their
own salvation" LAt,erly, some Of these press
es have deigned to speak in terms Of compli
ment Of the Legislature rs body, without In
vidious exceptions as to the majority. Before
the close Of the session we feel certain that
their manlness will force them to render the
justice Of hearty commendntion, to the ma
jori,y which they have for the greater part mo
ligped

A morning paper has applied the term to Mr.
WILKINSON. for acting with the Democrats
Let us examine with what propriety. Wing,
must now either be Democratic Wings, or Re
publican Wings.
These are the two parties. The only question
between them is the slavery question. Upon
this question where has the Wing party always
stood,
Every Wing National Convention that evel
met and uttered a word upon the subject, held
and proclaimed the doctrine Of " non-interven
tiou,' and opposed the agitation Of the question
as dangerous to the friendship and union Of the
States, and violation Of the spirit Of compro
mise and concession with which alone the Amer
lean Union could have been formed.
The party lived and died firmly adhcrng to
these principles, and the last great acts Of HES.
Rr CLAY, the =" Embodiment Of whiggery." and
DASIEI. WEBSTER, the Great Expounder n
were directed to the establishment Of these prin-
ciples in the compromise Of 1850. IF these
things are so. aud no one rM deny then, who
arc the " renegade Whigsg" Mr.. WILKINSON
and Others who act with party which seconded
the efforts Of CLAr and WEBSTER upon this
question. and reasserted the same principles in
their Baltimore platform, and still mais.aip
them now, or those who have departed from
their first love, and are now ssgsged in giving
" aid and comfort to abolitionim, in party
whose only principle is "agtat,on," and which
could not live day IL it stood upon Wing
