Storms at the East,

By reference to the telegraphic news in
another column, it will be seen that the
storm we had here during last week and the
week before, extended over most of the en-
tire country, from st. Louis to New York
The telegraphic reports, of course, do not
give any particulars, but we are assured by
private sources, travellers who have come
through, that such severe storms have not
been seen for years in some places. The
rains were long and heavy, and the wind
sometimes amounted to hurricanes, doing
great destruction to property. We inhabit-
ants of St. Paul and Minnesota generally,
escaped wonderfully, if these accounts are
true. Our railroads were not washed away,
or our telegraphic lines Frustrated, as we have
heard yet. Our Eastern friends will make a
note of this, if they please, and credit to our
often abused Territory, the fact that we
never have storms heavy enough to do that.
The COMET is said to be retreating from
this mundane sphere, instead of making for
our poor planet with I" full head' on. If
this be so, and storm any ways connected
with this celestial bugaboo, we entirely con-
cur in the opinion expressed by great mill
tary men, that retreat is as disastrous as a
def at.

that II Kansas becomes a free State the basis

make the present agitation seem but the muir
muring Of the impending storm. Despotism
cannot remain in rcpose. 1t is forever en-
croaching upon freedom. The history of the
old world proves this no less than that of
our own country. In America the progress
of tyrany is marked by such steps as the
stealing of Texas, the Fugitive Slave Bill

that they can raise any new issue-any " tin

will they be disappointed. The battle must
60 on. The greenhorn in Broadway, New
York, who stands waiting for the crowd to
pass by before he crosses the street, is not
more simple than those politicians who in

THE CLAIM OF THE HUDSON BAY COMPANY
CoNrEsrED.-This Toronto Colonist of the
18th says:
The Select Committee on the question of
the Hudson's Bay Company and the North
West Territories, reported to the House on
Monday some very important evidence that
had been laid before them, and which has
been ordered to be printed.
Mr.. Dawson, of the Crown Land Depart
ment, who appears to have made this subject
a special study. has proved that whatever the
rights Of the Company may be under their
charter to the territories on the shores of the
Hudson Bay, which 1t was originally intended
to cover, the pretense that it includes the Red
River or Saskatchewan countries, is mere
imposition OF late years, and that it has al
ready been dealt with and entirely ignored by
the Imperial and Provincial authorities.
This occurred when the Hudson Bay Com
pany, under the management of Lord Sell
kirk, tried to force their exclusive claim
against the Northwest Company of Canada.
The monopoly they enjoy in that locality APP
pears to exist only because, since the Union of
the Companies, Lobody has taken the trouble
to contest it.
