PUBLISHER TrMEs,-Perm;t Republican to
congratulate you, in reference to the course
pursued by the paper which you conduct, as well
during the Election Campaign-as during the an
mated contest for spois at the opening of this
Legislature. l was truly rejoiced to read Of your
design to expose all iniQuty-and am sorry am
unable take your paper at present as l am not
settled yet in Minnesota, but shall be-cre Spring.
have been examining the country for the past
three wccks-and must say like extremely
well, although the choice localities are in good
decree occupied, and do not wish to take second
best.
This section of the Territory is ahead of any
thing have sten-both as to land and other ac-
Communications. Dodge and Steele said to
bear the palm, all things considered. AS to
Steele cannot say, as | have not vet been there.
This County is in fact Republican County.
At the last election the Republican Candidate
had majority, though am told no organization
was had at all. Many of the settlers had no vote
on the account of residence not being long
enough. Hope the Legislature will alter the
law, in that respect. S. II. X.
CO We regret to say. that tho Council refused
to pass the bill altering the revised statutes as
to the slime of holding our election, rs we'll rs
decreasing the number of months necessary to a
residence. The Bill passed the House, but was
killed in the Council. We hope the people will
note the fact.-ED.

POST OFFICE DELINQUENCIES.

We are not disposed to find fault with the pos
tai arrangements connecting this Territory with
the States-ip fact, we are inclined to overlook
delinquincies that in the Eastern and Southern
States would not be tolerated for day--but the
UNIV arrantable DELAYS that have occurred in the
transmission Of our mail matter this winter to
the East, deserve exposure.
We instance a single case as illustrative of
scores in point of tinle.
A gentleman in this city having occasion to re-
NIT $500 to a bank in Montreal, took the pre-
caution to purchase his exchange and remit it 20
DAYS before his paper matured at the bank.
The exchange was registered in st. Paul, and
reached the bank three day. after his paper was
protested.-His letter not lost, nor miscarried,
but delayed.
We, have had occasion to remit drafts to Gen.
trail New York, that have been % days on the
way--5 days only being required between Saint
Paul and Dubuque. Where is the delay3 Not in
in st. Paul. The force employed in our own
Post Office, is equal to every emergency-and
there can be no just ground Of complaint.
:, Must We have our business relations deranged
through the culpable negligence of Post Ofice
officials below?-Financsdl Adr.

From the Chicago Democratic Press.
Test nj I'M nnoPns,

The proceedings in the House of Representa-
tives on Saturday last, were possessed of de-
c;ded interest, indicating the sense of the House
in regard to the agitation Of the Slavery question
and in relation to the Missouri Compromise. Mr..
Dunn, of Indiana, offered a series of three reso-
lutions, embodying the following points:
First-No man should he elected Speaker who
does not fully and heartily sympathize with a
large orty of the people of the country for the
restoration Of the Missouri Compromise, or who
will hesitate to exert himself for the restoration
Of that restriction.
Seconl-Thc restriction should be restored as
proper vindication of the wisdom, patriotism
and plighted honor Of the great statesmen who
imposed it as the necessary and certain means of
reviving harmony and CONGO. d among the States
of the Union.
Third-Uscless AMI factious agitation of the
Slavery question in out of Congress is unwisc
and UNI ust in every section of the Union, but un-
til the restriction is restored, it is solemn duty
we owe to the past, present and future, to stead
lily ana firmly persist in the efforts to that end.
The first of these resolutions was rejected by
one majority; tho second was adopted by one
majority, and the third was rejected by three ma
jority.
Mr.. Fuller, of Pennsylvania, then offered the
following resolution:
Resolved, That any agitation of the question
of Slavery, in or out Of Congress, is unwise, un-
just to portion of the American people, injuri-
Gus to every section of our country, and, there
fore, should not be countenanced.
This resolution was adopted by one majority.
At this stage of the proceedings, Mr.. Leteher re-
marked that he thought they had had abstraction
enough to satisfy yirginian, even, and there.
fore he moved the House adjourn. But the
House thought otherwise, and then tried its Hand
upon the following resolution:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this House,
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1920,
prohibiting Slavery north of latitude So deg. 80
mn., was ali example of useless and factious ag.
tation of the Slavery question, unwise and
unjust to the American people.
This resolution was adopted by a majority of
fifteen.

the article alluded to, was correct, for surely
there is no point in this fair Territory that at the
present time is attracting moro attention than
this immediate vicinity, and instead OF standing
on the outposts of civilization, that imaginary

Rcd Ccdcr, having circumference Of IL miles
and interspcrsed with beautiful islands, there is
another town located, of few weeks old, called
CEpER CRY. 1t is surrounded by a very fine coun-
try, and still, further north west, on the north
fork Of Grow river, a new town is springing into
existence. The town is called MINNEHA; it is sur
rounded by the most beautiful country the wri-
ter has ever yet travelled over. MINNEHA is in the
hands of strong company and having one OF the
best locations in the North West for agricultural
purposes, with a good water power, there can be
no doubt but the emf grant the coming spring, can
DO much worse than to settle he route from

New YoRK, Feb. /

The Tribune of this evening has the follow
ing letter from Lawrence, Kansas Territory,
dated Jan. 18th.
The citizens Of this city have been called
out at midnight, to rally at Easton, in defence
of the people there from the violence Of a mob
from Missouri.
The enemy made an attack on the ballot box.
In its defence two Missourians were killed and
two Free State men badly wounded. Brown
of Leavenworlh and Menard of Easton are
both in the hands Of mob who threaten to
hang them tonight.
Messengers have been sent over the Terri
tory to rally the Free State men, and ruInors
may lave been sent to Missouri to rally large
mob. The military companies Of Lawrence
will start for the post Of danger soon.
Gems. Robinson, Lane, and others are in
council. Orders have been sent to the differ.
ent companies to be in readiness to march to
Easton in few hours. Men OH horseback

Plurality Rule Voted Down.

Washington, Feb. 1.
The H,use refused by majority to table
IIickman's resolution to elect Speaker by plu-
rality vote. Hickman's resolution was rejected,
108 to ITO.
Mr.. Jones of Tenn, offered, as an olive branch,
a resolution that Oliver, Of Missouri, be chosen
Speaker. Tabled by Is majority.
Mr.. Letcher offered a resolution that Messrs.
Banks, Orr and Fuller be appointed to confer
together and to report Tomorrow morning the
name of some member in whom they or major
ity of them shall agree who shall be Speaker.
He said various attempts had been made prov
ing it impossible to elect Speaker by direct
vote. If his expectation to secure o result shall
succeed, it would carry joy throughout the coun-
try, and show the people, that heavens first law,
order, reigns in Washington. Tabled by 81 ma
jority.
Mr.. Ball submitted resolution declaring Banks
Speaker. 1t was ncgatived. Cobb, in a speech,
which convulsed the house with laughter, offered
a resolution declaring Aiken Speaker.
After the vote had been called, Whitney said
he had been informed that his vote would effect
an election, and a. he understood Aiken was not
q member Of the Administration party, he would
change his vote from nav to Affirmative.
Defening applause in the galleries, and on the
floor, mingled with impatient cries to declare the
