Jas ADyouRxsNr OF TIE LEoIsIAruss.-On Sstur-
urday, March 7th, 1857, At midnight, the Legisla-
ture of Minnesota adjourned, completing lis 9Th
session, having accomplished very little business
for the people Of the Territory, or that would
tend to their benefit. Much the greatest portion
of the time has been spent in futile endeavor
to build up the interests Of st. Peter. enhaneing
the value of lots, to the particular benefit and
advantage Of those interested as proprietors Of
the town, by the location of the Capital at that
place that the measure was defeated Of this time,
is without doubt an advantage TO the Territory,
at large, and will have great influence upon fu-
ture Legislative bodies, as none are so foolish 40
to rush to certain destruction on questions 90 shall
low and unimportant 40 was this, without fret
getting the wishes of the people expressed on the
subject.
