REPUBLICAN Cry CONVENTIONAL meet
ing of the Republicans of St. Anthony was
held at Edwards Hall on Tuesday evening
last, at which ID. S. Balch presided, and G..
I. Dexter was secretary. 1t appearing from
an informal ballot that W. w. Wales receiv-
ed Al votes as candidate for Mayor, to {
scattering, on motion Of DIR. II. W. Gould,
he was declared tie unanimous nominee Of
the Convention.
G. A. Nourse, Esq, made a few remarks
highly complimentary to the candidate of the
meeting; and offered the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
Resotced, That We cordially approve of the
course pursued in the last Legislature by our
Councilman W. W. Wales, and our Repre-
sentat,ves, Henry Hctchman and Jonathan
Chase.
The meeting was not largely attended,
there being no competition of candidates. and
consequently no general excitement But
! all sections ofthe city were represented and
! the perfect unanimity with which Mr.. Wales
was nominated is pleasing indication of the
satisfaction with which this Republican tick
ct will be hailed by the great body of good
citizens.
We hear but little said about an opposi-
tion ticket; but Mr.. Wales is too good a
man, and would make too capable and faith
ful An officer for the Fridley clique to allow
his election to be uncontested. 1t may there
fore be taken for granted, that all sorts
means will be employed to defeat him. SO
let the Republicans be on guard against So
He'd Peoples Tickets" as we'll as Demo
cratic tickets.
| MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANcE.-J. Lamb,
a carpenter in Minneapolis, left his house on
Sunday morning last, saying to his wife that
he must go and turn some boards which he
was seasoning, Ia little out of town, on the
Fort read. where his house was burned last
fall and that he would be back and attend
| church in the afternoon. He has not beer
heard of since, and all search proves unavail
ing.
New BRIDGE.-The new bridge below the
/ Falls has progressed so far that foot traveller.
can cross upon it. 1t will be ready for teams
before many days.
MosT Of the lumbermen have returned
from their winters work in the pinerie~, an(
/ report successful season. Some single
: crews have got out million and a half feet
oflogs.
! ACCIDENT.-On Monday, as S. p. Snyder
Of Minneapolis, was returning from ST. Paul
/ the horses became frightened by the break
! ing of whif:ie-trec, and broke away from
the carriage, which was thrown down the
! high river bank near Lemons warehouse. to
the manifest injury of its constitution. Mr.
Snyder and a lady who was with him es-
capped with slight injury by jumping from

TuE Missouri BANKs.-Tbe st. Louis Re-
publican of the 23d ult. sayss. There is .
steady progress in the subscription to the
stock of the new Banks. The Merchants
went up yesterday to S268, 900, BY seventy
nine subscribers. The Bank of ST. Louis to
S2lO, 200, by 138 subscribers. The Meehan-
ics' to Sl36, 300, by l20 subscribers. From
the two other banks, the City and the South
ern, VIC have no returns. The books of the
Exchange Bank were opened at the banking
house Of Bogy, Miltenberger & Co. At the
close, $4O,500 had been subscribed by %
persons. This is fair indication of the pop
ularity of the new applicant for public favor.
Before the books are closed the whole
amount required to put it in operation will
be forthcoming. By the end of the week we
shall know exactly how the land lies. Our
own Beliefs, that all the Banks will go into
operation.

Dreadful State of Affairs I'm Utah-Brfe
ham Young to be Superseded, and q
Military Fonce Sent into the Territory.
Despatch to the New York Herald,
WASHINGTON, March 10.
A letter was received here to-day from
w. W. Drummond, United States Supreme
Judge in the Utah Territory, by the admin.
istration. 1t gives sad and deplorable PIC.
ture of matters in that Territory. The fol-
lowing is taken from the letter: .,S !
The leading men Of the church are more
traitorous than eyer. Only afew days since
all the papers, records, dockets, and nina.
hundred VOLUMES of the laws, were taken,
out of the Supreme Court Clerks office and
burned. And this is not the only instance
of the kind, and 1 say to you again, and
through you to the President, it is impoeai-
BILE for us to enforce the laws in this Terri
tory. Every man here holds his life at the
will of Brigham Young; and here we are
without protection. lam firmly Of the ouin-
ion that Bibbitt was murdered by Mormons
under the direction of Brigham Young. and
not by indians. Murder is a common THING
here and Mormons cannot be punished bv
Mormon jury, witnesses, officers, and Gov.
ernor to pardon: It's too cruel, and must
not be endured. A man, not member of the
church, is murdered, robbed, castrated and
imprisoned, solely for questioning the au-
thority OF the church. Persons are now in
the penitentiary, convicted before the Pro-
pate Judge, who are wholly innocent of any
crime. Is there any other country where
this abuse is or would be endured? Let sll
then, take hold and crush out one of the
most reasonable organizations in Ameer.
ica."
The administration have had the matter
under serious consideration, and will soon
appoint a GOVERNOR understand, who will
take sufficient military force into that Ter.
ritory to carry out the laws to the fullest ex-
tent.

THE interest attached to the locality OF
of the ate accident at Des Jardines canal
Canada, has been renewed by the raising Of
the submerged engine, the forward wheel OF
which on the right side was found to be
broken off. From the position of the en-
CINE, as it lay on its side on the bottom OF
the canal. it seems, quite impossible that the
wheel was broken by the fall. Everything
goes to show that the axle was broken either
on the bridge or very near it, and that the
breaking of the bridge wasfrom the concus-
sion which ensued.

of age, who was not white, and who was not

A legal voter in Minnesota must have re-

Dreadful! What an assault on our free in

the Senators from the Slave States, assisted
by Messrs. Gwin, Brodhead, and Thomson,
from the free States, to war against the new
free State

pie will he at no loss to understand the

Republican Senators, and the Democratic
members who sustained them To have
hazarded such bill for such cause, would
have been sheer madness.

THE SONG OF STEAM.

Harness me down with your iron bands;
Be sure of your curb and rein,
For scorn the power of your puny hands
As the tempest Scorns chain.
How laughed, as lay concealed from sight
For many countless hour,
At the childish boast of human might,
And the pride of human power.

Or whiting the wayward breeze;
When marked the peasant family reel
With the toll that lie daily bore,

Or tugged at The weary oar.
When l measured the painting coursers speed
The Hight of ;ie carrier dove,

Or chained TO the dying
Ha ha they found me out at last;
They invited me forth at length,
And rushed to my throne with a thunder blast,
And laughed in my iron strength.
Oh , then We wOnlrous change
On the earth and ocean wide,
Where now nay fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind tide.
Hurrah Hurrah, the waters Ger
the mountain steep decline;
Time-space-haye yielded to my power,
The world, the world is mine :
The rivers the sun hath earliest blest,
Or those where his beams decline
The giant streams of the queenly West,
Or the ocean floods divine.
The ocean pales wher'er sweep,
To hear my strength rejoice.
And the monsters of the briny deep
Cover, trembling at my voice.

The wind lags after my flying forth;
The lightning is left behind;
