What Is to be Done

At the last term of court two indictments
were found against persons for furnishing in
toxicating liquor to the Indians, and yet the
diabolcal crime is daily repeated. The con-
tinued appearance of drunken Indians in our
streets, indicates the presence of white men
among us than whom the actual incendiary
would be preferable. The peace and safety
of our families are endangered. We have the
testimony of A. Faribault, that great as is
his influence over them, that power is entire
ly lost when they are intoxicated.
1t could hardly be credited, were it not OBJ
vious, that there could be intelligent men in
Minnesota who would, needlessly, introduce
danger into our midst-who would break our
plightcd faith with the chiefs of the Indian
tribes-who would willfully violate solemn
legislative act, for the return of few paltry
dollars And yet these are all facts Alas
how deep in infamy is it not possible fer the
human mind to feel its way, We sincerely
pity, while we heartily condemn.
Again we enquire what is to be done Z
Shall we employ our influence and entreaties
to induce those whom we suspect; to with
hold the poison from the Indians and those
whom it renders maniacs? Shall We be pre-
pared to make stern application of law at
the next session of the court2 Shall we pc
tition the present Legislature for the inter.
position of its power? Shall we calmly
fold our arms and let the tide sweep on unit
the miserable victims become extinct W.
hope, friends, that you will take this mattel
into serious consideration, and act up to VOC
noblest convictions Of duty.-Rice Herald

FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. rs. 1857.
Gov. Gor,man,s Message.


We spoke briefly of this document yester
day. We presume, ere this, that most O
our readers have perused it, and are as vel
able as we to pass judgment upon its merits
and the several items of public policy upou
which it treats. But we must take occasion
now to say, that the portion of the Message
which speaks of the State question deserves
more than passing notice. 1t appears to be
definitely determined, not only by MAORI
ty of our own people, but by the authorities
of the general government, that we must
prepare at once to take the important step of
changing from ward of the nation to an in
dependent sovereign in the nation. The time
has certainly arrived; and we fully agree with
the Governor that it is the duty of all of US
to address ourselves to the work at once.
We think his arguments as to the advan.a-
ges of speedily applying for admission into
the Union, are as nearly unanswerable es hu-
man arguments can be. We have fulfilled
our Territorial destiny in every Particular
We have arrived at the full strength and Wig
or of perfect manhood; and as remarked in
the Message, personal dignity demands,
aside from other considerations, that we
should throw off our dependence upon the
treasury of the Nation at once.
The Governors recommendations in regard
to the plan which the Legislature should
adopt to secure speedy admission in
to the Union, also meet our views
fully. The more speedily the great
measure is brought about, provided at
the same time that nothing is done so hasti-
iy as to prevent due deliberation in forming
the Constitution, or in any manner other
wise to compromise the interests of any por-
ton of the future commonwealth, the better
for all concerned. There will necessarily be
some political excitement and much local
feeling Prevailing throughout the Territory
until the whole work is completed {; and the
sooner the people are relieved from all this,
the greater will be the immediate advan-
tages resulting to them from the change.
We feel sure Governor German proposes
ample time in which to complete the whole
work, and complete it deliberately and per-
fectly.
One other important recommendation of
the Governor should not be overlooked by
the Legislature. Werefer to his suggestions
in regard to reform in county affairs. The
ineficiency of our present revenue laws to
correct abuses which have become a moral
as we'll as pecuniary curse to the commun-
ity, is so notorious that it has become a
by-word in every mouth. If the members
of this Legislature do nothing else than pro-
vide efficiently for thorough correction of
these abuses, they will deserve the lasting
gratitude of their constituents.
There are some minor recommendations
and sentiments in the message from which
we would dissent but taken as whole, as
we have already said, the document does
great credit to the Governor and the vigor-
Gus young community which he represents.
1t is fully up to the times, but not ahead of
them; and there is not an old-fogyish thought
in any line or sentence of it.

The Pioneer growls at the Governor for
adopting the doctrine of General Jackson,
that the people If the Territories have the
right to form State Constitution without
the authority of Congress or the action Of
the Territorial authorities. Although this
was good Democratic doctrine when Michi-
gan was admitted into the Union, and Jack
son was President and sanctioned the act,
it is not so now, according to the Pioneer.
Our neighbor sees Topeka" looming up
in the distance, and must necessarily give
Southern niggerism lift at the expense of a
back-handed blow at the Governor of Min
nesota. What strange Democratic"
party we have here in Minnesota!

devising means for draining the immense
swamp lands lying between New Orleans
