Loss OF THE ELECTORAL VOTE OF WIscoNsN.-
In consequence of furious snow storm on the
first Wednesday of December, the day fixed by
law for the assemblage of the electors Of Presi-
dent, all communication with Madison, the capi-
tai of Wisconsin, was cut off and consequently
the vote for President was not cast upon that
day. The Madison Argus is of opinion that the
electors cannot now legally discharge their func-
tons, and that the vote of the State is lost.

A MEAN SpEcULAroN.-A Washington CORES
pondent, under date of the 9th, says:
ssHave ever told you of wild speculation
here on small scale? Just after leaving the
Railroad depot, one notices on the right new
building of considerable Dimensions, and evident
ly intended for manufacturing purposes. =
1t appears that one or more adventurous indivi-
duals have purchased of the proprietor of Mount
Vernon all the trees and shrubbery left on the
tate, at cost it is said, of twenty thousand
dollars. The building and machinery spoken of
will probably cost ten thousand dollars more,
and this large outlay is to be reimbursed by the
manufacture and sale of Washington and Mount
Vernon canes. You will perceive that it will re-
quire sale of at least thirty thousand of these
canes, at as low price as one dollar apiece, in
order to repay the original capital invested. 1t is
easy to see that the speculation is rabidlv era
zy one and that the party likely to make any
thing out of it is the owner of Mt. Vernon pro-
vided he gets his price. Buthow will that sacred
spot look to American eyes when it shall have
been denuded of every noble tree and graceful
shrub, and meet the gaze with all the arid steril-
ity of barren desert. Icannot avoid mental con-
nection of such sacrilege with a course of con-
duct that would strip the rich garments from an
unprotected corpse.

GT The Pioneer alludes to little article in
reference to Stephen A. Douglas, copied by rs,
and which it denominates as'manufactured lie %
Inasmuch as we copied the main part of the ar

that there are other liars besides us. The last
part, reading in this wise-"Poor fool! does he
suppose that decent men would dirty their hands
in tustle with him 20 was from our own brain,
SO that the assertion that the article with the ex-
eeption Of Mr.. Douglas instead of Mr.. Stevens

is a lie on the part of the Pioneer.

a. It should be remembered by our readers
and the Honorable members of the Legislature,
that at the session of that body winter before
last, Hon. Joseph Rolette introduced a resolution
making liole-i the Day, noted Indian Chief
of the Chippewas, citizen Of the United States,
with the privileges Of a full-blooded American.
We proposed to amend the resolution by tacking
on clause making intelligent negroes also citi-
zens, with all the immunities arising theretrom.
The Honorable member from Pembina was shock
ed at our proposition, as well as some of the
sold Line Wings" Of that day, who were un-
sparing in their denunciation OF our course, but
time has demonstrated that we were but little
ahead of public opinion, and that when the Leg
islature Of Minnesota is prepared to vote to make
Indians citizens, it will also be prepared to vote
to give far moro intelligent race the same priv.
ileges.
We are under many obligations to sc Inquirer %
for bringing this matter before the public, and
trust that our colored citizens will at once avail
themselves of the many advantages arising from
the pre-emptian right, according to the decision
Of the Secretary Of the Interior. II will not be
long before Minnesota will put on the dignity Of
State, and when that day comes it - to be
hoped she will assume position among the other
States, divested OF some of those narrow views
which initiate so much against the good name
and prosperity of her citizens. 10 the language

49,
Editor of the Daily Times. DEAR Sis IL
send you herewith copy of the correspondence
referred to in my note Of the Sd inst. You will
observe from it that the ruling of the land officers
at least of Mr.. Fullerton on the subject of
pre-emption by colored citizens, is at variance
with the views entertained by the Department at
Washington. "il 'ae9 ~ as
1t ha. been so customary for the ofice-holders
of our Democratic Administration, to regard
themselves as overseers for the slave driving chv-
airy, that it will not create much surprise to know
that claims of colored man are decided upon in
Minnesota, with as little regard to justice rs they
would receive in South Ca: olina or slave breed
ing Virginia. 45. !.
Let the colored citizens of this Territory avail
themselves of the provisions Of the pre.emption
act, and secure for themselves by perseverance, in
industry and habits of economy, that in1epen-
dence which cannot be longer denied them, if
they will but firmly assert and insist on their
rights. INQUIRER,
