position, as to become an advocate of this
bill. He was sorry that the bill had been
introduce into this body without objection,
although he believed with the gentleman
from St. Paul, that it could never become a
law, although he supposed that it would
most likely pass the Council. In conclusion,
he called upon councillors not to vote for the
removal of the Capitol, to point so incon-
purpose of enhancing the price of town lots
in that village.
Mr.. Balcombe rejoined and said he had no
fears on the score of meeting his constitu-
ents, and being arraigned by them fer his
vote on this bill, for he believed that nine
tenths of the people who sent him here were
in favor of the proposed removal. He con-
tended that tie removal Of the Capital at
this time would be voice from the people,
speaking audibly to Congress at Washing
ton, that they were in favor Of the division
of the Territory, by an East and West line.
Mr.. Setter wanted to know how this conld
be taken as voice from the people, when
none of the members of the Legislature had
been elected upon the issue now before the
Council.
Mr.. Brisbin hoped action on the bill would
at least be delayed for a day or two. 1t
seemed to him of sufficient Importance to
call for delay on the part CT the Council.
Mr.. Balcombe opposed any postponcment
of action on the bill, as he thought every
one prepared to vote on it.
Mr.. Setter agreed with the gentleman, as
he thought the bill was so ridiculous in its
provisions, as that no member would hest
tate how 10 vote on such measure.

Hostile Expedition Against Mexico.

The latest advices from Havana state that
the Spanish Government had determined
upon another warlike demonstration against
Mexico in order to demand full redress for
the assassination of five subjects Of Spain by
the troops under Gen. Alvarez. Three yes
sells OF war left Cuba on the 18th inst, des-
tined for ports in Mexico, and it was expect
ed that the affair would eventuate in actual
hostilities. Several regiments Of infantry
and artillery were under orders, and large
volunteer force was being organized by the
Captain General.
