We come before our readers this morning in
an enlarged form, 1--WE mean the psper,) not that
we have any desire to spread ourselUss, but
our advertising friends have actually compelled
us to make room for them. : We now present the
citizens of st. Paul with the LARGEST DAILY Pa
PER this side of Dubuque or Galsna, and we are
in hopes (as soon as we can procure workmen,) to
make TIE TINES as acceptable to our readers as
our fast increasing patronage demonstrated has
been our success in this particular during the
past two years. a-Aff A@sa itss
Three years ago to-day, TIE TINES was usher
cd into existence. not on the wave of popular fa-
vor, nor with large capital to back it, nor with
old friends to rally around it, but simply on its
own merits, and it has struggled on in the face Of
all opposition-enduring the envy Of one and the
jealousy of another, until now its circulation and
patronage is surpassed by no other establishment
in she Territory. Two years ago it was printed
on hand press and the business of the Office did
not exceed 81 900 per annum. Now it is printed
on the largest Power Press in the Territory-has
q circulation much larger than one OF its cotem-
poraries, and circulation equal with that Of the
other-and the Office does business Of nearly
$4,000 per year Three Job Presses are kept
constantly running, and we intend to add three
more as soon as they can be shipped. o5.
To say that we are thankful for the liberal pat
ronage bestowed upon US, is but faint express
sion of our feelings, and when we consider that
the Office has not been petted and supported
by Government 'pap,' nor have we resorted to
Eaean tricks to procure it, but that our patronage
.oores spontaneously from the people, we are
more than highly grati6ed. And We shall con-
tinue, as heretofore, to advocate those measures
which, incur opinion, will subserve the best in
terests of the Territory, and we shall at all times
denounce both men and means, the obvious inten-
tions of which are, to undermine and ruin our
prosperity as a people. We shall speak more
o lainly than hitherto-become more earnest in
our espeusal of the cause of Freedom-mofe anx-
ions to place Minnesota in the first rank of the
most powerful of States, and more strenuous in
Dur eh erts to make The TINES more able expo
nsnt of Morality, Truth and Justice.

The Time and Tide, advertised to leave for the

men now in the hands of the Savages. We learn
that company of Cavalry has been ordered to

stationed on the frontier to protect the settlers.

states that the Convention recently held in that
