A spiri, of emulation IN any loudabIe
pursuit, is, to say the least Of it, com
mendabe; because, while It is prlncl'
pie so congcnial TO the human heart so
active in itself, and so laudable in its
possessor, it is at the same time so bene'
fetal in ils influence on society. A spirit
of honorable competition, deeply i'm
planted in every liberal mind, let it be
called whnt it may, should, doubtless, be
cherished, inasmuch as it is not founded
on the gross idea Of dcprving others oil
the object of their eXenIons, but from an
inhercn, desire of selr.elcvolIon, on mer'
i,orous premises. 1t is very different
from that principle which prompts man

Of its close conneyion with ambition,
which can never be applied TO anything

considered by some as dangerous, but i
has ever been rewarded by the sanction

var. Summers Letter Of AcAe ptan

In the Massachusetts House of Rep;csen-
tatives, on Friday last, communication was
received from Hon. Charles Sumner, accept
ing the Office Of United States Senator. to
10 ''-"s nane,tlv elected. He does
not indicate in the letter when he shall pro-
coed to occupy his seat. In accepting his
election, he says:
The duties Of public servant are not
always conspicuous. Much of his time is
absorbed in cares which, if not obscure, are
little calculated to attract public attention.
Massachusetts, justly cnjoins that no such
interest shall be neglected, but by a solemn
resolution other legislature, by the votes OF
her people and the voice of her history, Mas
sachuSetts especially enjoins upon her repre-
sentative to see that at all hazards, and
whatever else may suffer, Freedom shall pre-
vail. Let me not neglect this Injunction.
Alike by sympathy with the slave, and by a
determination to free ourselves from the
wretched thraldom, we are also summoned
to the effort now organized for the emancipa-
ton of the National Government from the
degrading influence.
Of course, no person, who is not ready to
say in his heart that there is no God, can
doubt the result; but this result, like every
great good, can be accomplished only by we'll
directed effort. know something of the
labor and trial which such service imposes;
also know something of the satisfaction
which it affords, giving to all who truly es-
pouse it a serener joy than an. thing in office
Or honor. In the weary prostration Of
months, from which have so happily risen,
my sharpest pang came out of my enforced
separation from the cause which is so dear to
me; and now my chief joy is in the assurance
that to this service may dedicate the Wig
orous health which, through medical care and
the kindly ministration Of nature, am per-

Removal Of the Capitol.

Under the head of '' Legislative Pleasant
rics," our neighbor Of the Financial Adver-
tiser hits somebody as follows:
"a very amusing proposition is before the
grave body now in session at the Capitol.
1t is no more nor less than the immediate
removal Of the Capitol from St. Paul to St..
Peter! So many practical jokes have been
perpetrated by this comical body at the ex-
pense of the people, that this extravagant
projection the amusement of their constitu-
ents, has failed to excite the laughter which
is due to the intrinsic righteousness of the
burlesque. The author of this broad farce
has keen appreciation of the ludicrous. A
mere man of talent might have suggested the
repeal of the Organic Act, and the annexa-
ton of the United States as a necessary
preliminary to that removal. Nothing but
genius could have concentrates all these ideas
in one stupendOus extravaganza like this.
Another delicate stroke of wit which, we
believe, is meditated by the jolly fellows at
the Capitol, is the simultaneous dislocation
Of the Penitentiary and Territorial UNIVERSE
ty, the former to be removed to Pembina and
the latter to Bancroft"
We might add in connection with this,
that one of our noted architects and builders
informs us that he has taken the contract
to remove the Capitol, and is now getting
his wheels and other necessary machinery
ready to commence operations sin few
DAYS."

Prosperity Of Canada.

\ correspondent of the New York Tribune
gives the following ilattering account of Can
adam affairs:
There is no prominent subject of legisla-
ton before the country, at present, awaiting
the decision of Parliament. Within the last
few years all the accumulated arrears of leg
islation have been carried. We have altered
our representative sy stem and increased the
number of members in the Lower House from
81 to 1870. We have applied the principle Of
election to the second chamber We have
abolished the feudal tenure of land holding.
which the Lower Canada French inherited
from their ancestors, and which they retain
ed fifty years after it had been swept away
in France. We have secularized three mil
lions Of acres Of church lands. We have
rcmodclled our judicial system. We have
assisted to build great railroads. We have
completed our canal system. We have OBJ
tanned reciprocity with the United States
In short, we have done So much in few
years that we have nothing Of pressing i'm
portance left to do.

Western Rivers.

Mr.. BENJAMIN has reported bill in the
Senate, making appropriation for the improve
ment, by contract, Of the Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, Ohio and Arkansas rivers.
The bill proposed to have the Western
rivers divided into convenient sections, and
then advertise by contract, for the removal
of all distractions to the navigation of each
section, whether from stumps, snags, sunken
wrecks, rocks, logs, or Of whatever nature,
either in the main channel of the river or in
the channel leading to the various ports and
landings. 1t provides that no money shall
be paid on any contract until the entire work
undertaken shall be completed and inspected
by suitable officers OF the Typographical corps
of engineers. The bill includes various ap-
preparations which do not exceed Sl5O,O0O
per annum, for five years. For that sum the
committee have ascertained that contracts
could certainly be made by which all these
Western rivers could be kept entirely clear
of the distractions at present so destructive
to life and property. At the end of five
years, when these rivers are to be delivered
up to the government entirely free from OBJ
structions, a continuous appropriation of one
third Of that sum will keep them clear.

nishes the Boston Transcript with fact in
regard to the noble conduct of woman,
that deserves honorable mention. The clip

CO about the goth of July last. The cap
tain, on the passage, was ATTACKED with
brain fever and subsequent blindness the
chief mate having been deposed from duty
previous to the captains illness, and the
second mate being incompetent to navigate
the vessel, the captains wife, who happened

Ohice--Third Street, below Cedar.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY H., 1857.

OF this informal and irregular procec ling as
to raise doubt .whetheexthe whole affair
could not be Stripped up q and nullified in
the Courts. -
Here is the Difficult. y; heavy debts are fall
ing due; and the COUNT has no present
means whatever to meet Them; for by the
terms Of the law II Is doubtful whether any
Of the uneollected tax con be applied to the
Court House contract. md evenif it could
be 80 applied, there is no1Cospect Of reeeiv-
fund and Territorial tan so heavy is the
amount of orders now in Circulation.
There is possibility that the county, ia
king technical legal advantage of some of
the informalities and Irregularities .above
mentioned and planting itself solely upon
Commissioners Recerdsscould gspud;ets the
whole ora part Of those debts arising from
the Court House eonirart and from the issue
of the Bonds. But that sAing of reconciliation
is absolutely too bad to be seriously thought
of. 1t is unworthy of the richest county in
Minnesota to attempt to dodge the payment
of its debts; simply because the errors Of
some Of its officers wlilpermit ii to DO so. We
presume nobody questions hat the contract
with Mr.. Clark the issue Of the Bonds, and
the subsequent negotiations. were all made
and meant in good faith by the Commits
sioncrs, and by the parties with whom they
liaye dealt; and ihal ii itere haye heen
wrong steps taken: they have originated not
in evil intention, but in miseonception Of the
law. Under these circumstances, to fail Of
making prompt payment is to inhict gross
wrong upon innocent parties, and to injure
very deeply the county's credit. Who here
after will trust Us, if we are only wlling to
make payment when forced 20 do SO by law
But the hands of the Commissioners are
tied by law. They can neither borrow more
money nor raise it by tax. The only RENE
dy is, an act of the Legislature, relieving
both the county and It's creditors from this
awkward position. There is, or ought to DO,
no reas' n to doubt that the Legislature will
cheerfnlly pass such bill, if requested to do
so; and we do especially urge the necessity
OF prompt attention to the matter upon tho
members from Hennepin county Give the
Commissioners power to pay what the coun-
ty justly owes, so that we may be saved from
discredit, saved from litigation, end saved
from losing Whist has already been expended.
Over 100000 in debt 1t looks large to
be sure; but Hennepln county is good for it.
The property in the county was valued last
summer at nearly three and half millions;
and if it is not nearly double that 1t next
assessment orr real estate dealers must be
rather wild set of fellows. One pull tlo;s,
strong, and all together"-~and the county
will again be free from debt, and the people
will rejoice in light taxes.

our minds to the bill. The whole machinery
II appears to ls, u calculated to facilitate tn,
packing o. the proposed convention, AMI
thus prevent fair representation of the vii
and sentiments Of the whole people, in thi.
body which is to frame the organic law Of /.
sovereign State. If the Governor is ambi
tioas to control the CONVENTION, q he very
likely win be, our Republican friend,
can see that he viii appoint his tools in those
twenty or thirty unoreanized counties /; have
the census taken to suit him, and his men
elected to the convention in spite of all oppo.
sition. We have never seen nicer execrl-
tive trap set to catch transporting green
horns than this; and how any Republican
member Of the Legislature can walk straight
into it, We do not see.
= We VIII close by making one or two all,l-
sions to the unfair arguments adduced in ia
vor of this bill by writer in the MINNEso-
TIAN on Friday morning, or at least refer to
his misstatement of the principles embodied
in the bill reported by Mr.. Grow in Con-
gress, and endorsed unanimously by the Re
pallicaa committee on Territories Of the
House, comprehensive from the able
chairman-Of such men as Joshua Il. Gid
dings, Israel Washburn, Sherman, of Ohio,
Howard, of Michigan, &c.
The writer lays great stress upon the as
sumed fact that the election Of delegates to
tie Convention, according to the Congress
sional bill, would be based upon the present
apportionment. We are certain that the
sensible and proper construction of the law
would be IL hold ths election upon whatever
apportionlnent act was in force at the time of
electioa. II the old apportionment law has
become, in course Of time, unjust in its ope-
ration, why not pass new one before the
Legislature adjourns? There is ample time
left
The writer further assails the Grow bill
because it-he says-gves to Pembina, with
scarcely no population, twice the represen-
tation it does to Olmsted county W tn seven
or eight THOUSAND Now this writer in ques-
ton is an older citizen of Minnesota than
we, and one as well, if not better, acquainted
with her geography. He knows, and must
have known when he was making this charge,
that Pembina is not included at all within
the limits of the proposed State of Mime
sofa, as defined in the Congressional BILL
But in the Thompson bill, his darling pet
child, Pembina is allowed representation in
the convention without making any census
return whatever! How rery consistent, in
decd
The filings and inuendoes contained in the
communication against the people of St. Paul
and Saltwater, and their representatives of
the Legislature and the press, we deem it in
consistent with dignity and selfrespect to
notice. Those who deal in such clap-trap
and bitter hatred are daily finding out that
while playing the viper, and trying to bite
somebody, they are only gnawing file
They can wall and gnash their teeth at St.
Paul's prosperity to their hearts content. The
motive is properly understood and apprecia-
ted here and however malic Gus may be the
design, the result will certainly be harmless
to all concerned except themselves.
