The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1857-05-23
For the Daily Mipnesotian



Mr.. Foster of Wa saslaaw County.
have been visitor at the Ca rital Tor the
last three weeks, and have had frequent op-
portunities to observe the proceedings in
tue two branches of the Territorial Legisla-
ture. Among others who have shown that
constant attention to business and to the
interests Of the Territory at large which al
ways denotes the faithful legislator, have
observed none more attentive to the inter-
ests Of his constituents and more single
hearted in the discharge of his duties, than
Mr.. A. P. FosrER, of Greenville, in Waba-
shaw County. He is stranger to the wri-
ter, but I could not help observing his
straight-forwardness, his fidelity, his strict
observances of the rules of the House and
his uniform courtesy and liberal course of
conduct, as Representative of the people.
If such steady attention and earnest devo.
ton to business characterized all members
of legislative bodies, the public interests
would be more generally subserved and the
public good promoted. I am glad to learn
that he is not professional man, but a fur
ner, and that the Territorial Legislature has
a number of efficient and honorable repre-
sentatives from that great and important
class. To such hands Minnesota can safely
and wisely entrust her best interests.

Scott County Nominations.

The Republicans of Scott County met in
Convention at Shakopee, on Wednesday,
and made the following excellent nomira-
tons for the Constitutional Convention
THos. J. GALBRAIrH, A. B. RUSSELL, PETER
A. FREER, JOHN TRUAx and D. D. DICK
ERsoN. ~
One of these gentlemen was nominated as
Delegate at large for Scott and Rice, but as
we are not advised as to which one received
that designation, we delay placing their
names at the head Of our paper until we are
further informed. The ticket, however, our
opponents, will find to be one hard to beat.

Turned Out.

DR.. HuEpscHMArN, who has been endea-
voring to the best of his ability to fulfill the
duties of Superintendent of Indian Affairs
in Minnesota during the pastyear has been
removed to give place to some humble camp
follower of tho Southern negro policy, who
halls from Logansport, Indiana. We un-
derstand the only complaint Of Importance
lodged against the Doctor at Washington
was that he is under the !" German influence .
OF the Northwest, which influence has
strong tendency to " Black Republicanism,"
so called by the slaveocracy. We have no
doubt the Doctor now feels himself more
independent man, and just as well prepared
to take care of his conscience, as when in
official harness among the Sioux, Chippewas,
and Winnebagoes.r sdl s.f.,s,.

Only One Week!

Let our Republican friends not fail to re-
member that they have only one week from
next Monday to complete their organization
and do all the necessary work preparatory t.
the Delegate election. BY the setting o
this days sun, their nominations will hav,
teen made in all the districts west of the
Mississippi and it will only remain for tn,
rank and file of the party, by proper exer-
lions, 10 elect at least nine-' Of them.
The nominations in all the eastern and
northern counties will be made the coming
week, when every district throughout til.
Territory will have full and true Republi-
can ticket in the field.
Let the fight commence this coming
week in real earnest. See that every pre-
cinct is thoroughly canvassed and properly
organized, and see that all our voters are at
the polls IN the day of election. Our oppo-
nents, although they do not appear to be do
ing much, are really working secretly with a
desperation that will win if not check-mated

IConst,sutional copvcntion. z

On looking User the enabling act since our last vas
written point presents itself clearly, that We feel
little ashamed at not having noticed it before BY the
terms Of the Enabling act the people of the proposed
State are the conditions and In the manner therein
prescribed, authorized to form for themselves Con-
stuon and State Government by the name Of the State
of Minnesota, and to into the Union on an equal
footing with the original States according to the Federal
Constitution" Accordingly If we literally comply with
of the enabling act, become at once one OF
the United States without any further action OF Con-
grtss Oar Representatives and Senators TO congress
would only have to present their credentials ike newly
elected members from any older State In order TO take
their Seats and Congress could more keep Us out OF
the Union than she could exclude New York or Virginia.
Thsonly thing that exclude US our neglect or re-
fusa to comply strictywth the terms OF the Enabling
aet.-S. Antaony Republican,
Our contemporary is undoubtedly correct
in his construction of the act, The action
Of Congress was to allow the people Of Min
ueso,a "to form for themselves Constitu-
s ton and State Government by the name
+" of the State of Minnesota, and to come into
"Me Union on an equal footing with the
"orisinal States, according to the Federal
&c Constitution"

The Opening OF The Campaign In St.
Paul.

The Republicans had glorious meeting at
tho Court House last night, which was ad-
dressed by Mr.. LovEJoy, of Illinois, and Mr.
BAKER, Secretary of State Of that good old
Republican State--Ohio. The true issue was
presented by both gentlemen in most con-
vincing and able manner, and in that argu-
incentive and eloquent style which is calcu-
lated to make the Buck African Democracy
tremble in their boots.
The St. Paul Republicans are at work,
and will give good account Of themselves
or the day of the Delegate election. Sat-
urday evening next We hope tn have another
rally to hear TRUMBULL, of Illinois, and
other distinguished men from abroad.

bred Scott Decision Applied.
Slamming the last door of the first car and
opening that Of the second, the 'tgentlemanly
conductor" of the New York train made his
appearance with his bow and smile, and
Tickets gentlemen, if you please"
Seated in the front corner, surrounded BY
her personal conveniences, such as q carpet
bag, umbrella, big bundle, little bundle, a few
apples and pieces Of cake, was a colored la
dy, whose face-the hue of an inverted sauce
pan, contrasting with her snow-white ivory
and eye-balls, gave that pleasing African ex-
preston which ia so often the type OF hu-
NOR and good nature.
"Ticket, ma'am," says our conductor, with
civility regardless of complexion.
81 hasn't got en-" she replied, "but Use
got money, any way" and she began 70 FUN
be in her bag, then in the bundles, seaaching
these through in vain.
"Come, hurry up" exclaimed her now
slightly impatient friend; II can't wait all
day."
"Bress yer soul, yer don't think find ev-
erything in minute, but Use got money
0mewhar-must be in dis yeah carpet bag"
and she felt in her pocket accordingly for the
key:
swell, well, I'll pass through, and when
I get back perhaps you will have 1t ready"
sYes, satin," said Dinah; but as be passed
along she reached out her umbrella, and Civ.
ing him poke upon the shoulder, asked,
"what you gwoin to charge on freight" i
"Freight! what do you want to know that
for?"
"Cause does; Use civil, amt l."
Avyo 60 a., thar hot
er me any more, but find your money!" and
he went his way.
There seemed to be a peculiar drollery
about the lady's eye and mouth, as the one
rolled around in its great black sea Of flesh,
and the other opened to give vent to an in
voluntary "yah hal" 1t was not long be-
fore she found her purse, and withdrew,some
coin, which she kept jirgling in her.hand, as
she ker t up the occasional vaccinations.
In due time the conductor returned for
his money, and upon extending, his itching
palm, was somewhat astonished at receiving
the recise sum of ten cents.
"What do you mean?" he exclaimed
"The fare to New York is five dollars"
"Yas, vas, know dat, for white folks
folks uhat am tolks-but Pee nobody; Pee
freight, lis. Yah, yah! Poor rule as don't
work hof ways; FIVE centsa foot, heah they
is!" said she; extending two ENORMOUS am
bulators for the inspection Of the conductor
and us all. 11
The nonplussed functiopary stood undc-
termined for moment smo"g the shouts Of
the passengers, until an idea of compromise
occurred to him, as he exclaimed: swell
If you are freight, take yourself off into the
baggage car" But even there Dinah was
too much for him, as she replied, "Just you
pick mp your freight if you want to carry
um. off" S'e
This settled the point. The conductor
vanished, and Dinah offered pious cjscula- |
