Mail Minnesota become . state:
We must confess that We are in no particular
hurry to thrust Minnesota into the Union, as we
have no political aspirations to crafty, and but
few political friends to reward. We can, there
fore, look at the question in an unpreudced light,
with view simply to the interests Of the people and
not to the interests of mere politicians, who ale
ways have axes to grind and who are exceedingly
anxious that the people should turn tho wheel.
1t is said VIC have population Of 10000, and
yet this is moro guess work. so far as We can as
certain. as no official enumeration has yet been
made. The mere fact of Gov. German saying
SO, don't make it so, and we understand the re-
port came from him. But admitting that we
have 10000 people, is it best to assume the
burden of State Government? Will not such
movement drive cmigrants to other points, and
are we not, under the circumstances, doing well
enough? What particular benefit is to accrue
to us by association with the States, except our
votes in Congress? Will not the taxes be great
err as State than as a Territory, and will not
this fact tend to prevent many from coming here
Are we not actually the last of the Territories,
increasing at ratio unparalleled in the history
of the West? Why then seek to disturb this
prosperity? Why not let it go on for two or
three or four years longer?--Our credit will be
just as good. Laborers just as plenty. Wages
just as high, if not higher, although as State
money could not be loaned to such advantage as
now. If we remember correctly Wisconsin did
not come into the Union until with much larger
population than Minnesota now has; and if the
General Government is willing to pay for our
roads, bridges, judicial and legislative expenses,
why not let it instead of saddling the expense on
the settler, the farmer, the mechanic?
We do not propose to argue the question al
present, but simply to call attention to the fact
that the subject will doubtless be brought before
our next Legislature for action, and it is well
that the people should give it little forethought
Let US weight the matter thoroughly before We
| act,-scan every point-guard every contingency
| and then, if it is best to come in as State-al
right-we are with the People. Our presen,
convictions are that it is best to let we'll enough
alone.

The Southern Side.

We have already given brief accounts Of
the great outbursts Of Indignation in the
Northern cities at the recent assault in the
United States Senate Chamber. Two or
three papers down-east have looked at the
matter in more rational way. They see
that the brutality and indecency Of Mr..
Sumner had their natural result in the chas-
tisemcnt which he received. On Sunday
morning we printed an extract to that effect
from that old respectable conservative paper
the Boston Courier. Nearly Ill the other
papers consider the matter simply from an
anti-slavery point of view, giving no credit
to the provocation, and seeing nothing in
the affair but only an exhibition of South
ern violence, determined to force its opin-
ions down the throats, or through the epi-
dcrmis Of the North.
A sensible and upprejudiced man would
first consider whether the assault might
not have originated in motives entirely dis
joined from this. Mr.. Sumner abused per-
sonally not only an old gray.laircd Sena-
tor, but lacked the grace even in his ami
mostly against that gentleman, to- abstain
from assaiing the State which he represents.
The people Of South Carolina were abused
by him in the most shameless language
language which, independently of old sec,
tional prejudices, was sufficient to provoke
and perplex in the extreme the men who
represent her in Congress. To this, OF
mainly, it not entirely to this, the assault is
due. Whilst we do not excuse it, we see
in it very honest outburst of human ma.

The idea about the want of time is
mere phantom. Franklin found time in
the midst of all his labors to dive into the
hidden recesses of philosophy, and to ex-
plore the untrodden path Of science. The

rection, in the midst of war. on the eve of

his Kingdom, found time to .revel in the

Affairs In Kansas.

By reference to our extracts, our readers
will see what is going-on in Kansas. The
conduct of the Freesoilers has been aggra-

measures on the part of the Government,
and we are not without hope that the right
sort of scverity will be yet, and that, too,
