MINNESOTA.

There is some prospect (says the Journal of Com
mercel that the two fractions Of the Minnesota con-
vcntion for framing State constitution will soon
agree upon ''plan of union" The following reso-
lutons which were originally offered in the demo
cratic branch of the convention by Judge Sherburne,
but were voted down in that body by three majority,
were afterwards adopted by the republican branch,
and it was thought would yet be assented to by the
democrats:
Whereas the persons who elected by the people of
this Territory to represent them in constitutional
venon having at this capitol the day appointed
by law for such meeting and having disagreed upon
mmaterial questions which in the of forming
a temporary organization, separated and formed two dis
tinct conventions in numbers nearly equal and are
forming separate and distinct constitutions to be pre-
sented to the people and whereas proceedings extra
ordinary in their character will have tendency to
the reputation of people to lessen the confidence of
the other States in the integrity stability and position,
and place in false position before the world There
fore,
Resolved That q committee Of five be appointed by the
president of this convention to confer with committee
of am equal number if appointed, of the duly elected
members of that portion of them who are acting sepa-
rtely from us and that it shall be the duty of such
committee to consider and agree upon practicable,
and report some plan by which the two bodies unite

THE PROSPECT IN MARYLAND.

From all quarters of the State hear the honest peo
pie rousing to correct view of the evils of know
nothingsm The utter annihilation of the ephcmcral
party East West North and South shows that its base
was bubble too unsound to bear the weight which the
tcksters and dcnagogues who managed it placed upon
it, The whole fabric has crumbled into noii,gess and
one little shaft alone remains of all its proud proper
-larWond where civil and religious liberty
bincd first proclaimed and established is the
only State where the dark and blood stained shadow
know nothingism rests This sits last resting place
final ground Every patriot heart should pray and
every patriot hand should struggle to make Maryland the
grave msshapen monster which conceived in the
haunts Of darkness and deceit and whose has been
marked only with extravaganza, fraud, and boodshed
State are resolved to crush the monster We glad to
know that the veil is being Stripped from the form of this
modern oaaaa and that its hideous and revolving fea
lures driving the deceived and betrayed people from
its unholy standard We did believe that the sell
fish demagogucs who have controlled the secret council
for their own ends could continue long deceive the
people.
The ciorea foot plainly being through the acts Of
the convention and the orders of the superior council
and the masses find they have been the victims of teac
cry and decetthat they have been sold for the benefit
of the few This knowledge is having its effect and the
miserable demagogues who kept the word of promise to
the ear only break to the hopes of the people
destined reap their reward in the ultimate and
contempt of the great and honest masses.

FOREIGN coMMERcE OF COSTA RIGA.

Since the commencement of 1856 our spirited little
neighbor Costa Rica has become so thoroughly mix
cd up in the domestic quarres and political commo-
ons which have convulsed her sister State of Mica
ragua, and has consequently experienced 80 large
share of the ordinary ycssudes OF war that we might
naturally expect total suspension, during the past
year. of her commercial movements with foreign ma
tons An examination of the official returns of the
foreign trade Of the republic for 1856 rather shows
am increase both in imports and exports, over those
of the preceding year-a fact which is partly ac-
counted for by the liberal notifications and changes
introduced in the commercial legislation Of Costa
Rica in 1854, and partly from the exemption of its
chief ports from the usual Interruptions to navga
ton and commerce incident to state of war. During
the past few years the foreign commerce of Costa
Rica amounted, annually, to upwards of 81 100000
Embracing area of about 10000 square miles,
washed on one side by the waters Of the Pacific, on
the other by those of the Atantic possessing rich
and fertile soil, abounding in precious minerals and
woods and capable of yielding the most varied and
valuable productions Costa Rica needs only thrifty
population and liberal commercial policy to attain
high rank among the republics of the western con
tinent.
The exports of the republic usually consist of cof
Fee Brazil wood, mother of pearl, hides, lumber
sarsaparila, Inda-rubber, sugar gold &C.; and the
chief imports are cotton and silk goods hardware,
furniture tobacco -four and provisions, salt, soap,
sc. The following statement shows the navigation
and commerce of Costa Rica for four years ending

THE THREATENED TROUBLES IN KANSAS.

The following temperate and judcious article in
relation to the threatened troubles in Kansas ap-
pears in the Providence Daily Post:
There il probability Of more trouble in Kansas The
frceSate leaders determined to have civil war; and
if their present plans persisted in we do not see how
another serious collision can be avoided.
IL will be recollected that at about the time Governor
Walker went to Lawrence to prevent the accomplishment
of the reasonable purposes of the fanatics there the f
natics sent for Colonel Llne and he Immediately joined
their councils From that time he has been at work. is
suing proclamatons driving the Territory and
ganizing what he styles estate militia The object is
proclaimed to be to guard the baloboxes and prevent
an invasion from Missouri at the territorial election in Oc
tober The real object undoubtedly is to excite disturb
ance and at the time be in condition to resist the
collection of taxes
Ii is well known that all the leading abolitonsts have
proclaimed their determination to pay taxes under the
territorial government and that civil war has been open
ly threatened in Governor Walker should bring the
troops to his aid in the work of enforcing their col
lection That this unlawful organization of State
militia by Lane is intended for this emergency we can
not entertain doubt 1t is admitted on oil hands
that the proslavery party is doing nothing to provoke
hostites and that the government officers, whether
federal OF territorial neither imposing sanction
ing any harships upon the people As for the October
election it yet somewhat doubtful whether the fanatics
intend to take any part in it but one doubts the
ability and determination of Governor Walker to secure
fair play unless interered with by the aboltionists
themselves.
Colonel Lane reports that his militia as now organized
embraces eleven thousand men. We wish northern
publicans to make note of the fact political party
in Territory where there is no disturbance whatever
what they themselves creating and where pro-
found peace has been enjoyed for eight months at least
have organized army of eleven thousand men, in
way connected with the territorial national govern
ment and without particle of legal authority from any
source whatever is Ms the way to promote good feel
ing3 Suppose the prosnvery party had been guilty Of
such measure would not every republican paper in the
country have called upon Governor Walker to punish
their awless proceedings?

MIR. STANIIsY'S POSITION.

1t is even So and sorry to say it, Hon Ed
ward Stanley formerly of North Carolina is the black
republican candidate for governor of California He has
accepted that nomination in speech carefully worded
and deliberately prepared 10 which he takes the most u
ira anti slavery grounds-n which he eulogzes VIM. H.
Seward Coin which he artfuy attacks the institu-
tons of the South in which he speaks of the Nathan
Dean ordinance of 1881 great and glorious
of freedom-in which, in defiance of the decision of the
Supreme Court he asserts the consttutionality of the
Missouri Compromise Further in support of his present
position in California he refers TO his vote the bill for
the admission of that State and his last for Con-
gress in North Carolina IT will be remembered that the
democratic presses in North Carolina endeavored show
the tendency of Mr. Staneys course then, and de-
nounced as sanderers of Mr.. Stanley. The thing now
shows for itself. tt
But he goes further and says that his party win persist
until slavery is driven from the country.
We would gladly have doubted this detection of Mr.
Stanley We would gladly now contradict it, but are
forced TO the painful conclusion that it is even So
But we forbear further remarks for the present.

THE ELECTIONS.

II will be seen by the following despatch, pub
Ished in the ST. Louis Republican of the 10th, that
the prospects of Col Stewart the democratic candi
date for governor in Missouri frightening as the
official returns come in:
JEFFERSON Cry Aug. 15.-The mails are all in for
the evening Official returns from eighty counties-Ro
Inns is s1ten ahead in the eighty official and twenty
three reported counties You will see that Stewart gains
by the official returns, Democrats here are more san
cuine that ever The counties to be heard from are But
ler Dunklin Oregon, Ripley, Shannon and Howell-the
latter new county formed out OF Oregon
The Republican says:
Our table, and the elegraphic despatch which is pub
shed this morning furnish all the news which we have
in reference to the election More authentic returns as
we think reduce Major Rollins majority in the one hun
red and three counties heard from hundred and
seventy. In the counties his majority was stated
Yesterday at two hundred and seventyhree Our des-
patch from jefferson City last night reduces his majority
still more, according to the count in that city AT all
events enough is known to warrant both sides in wait
ing for the official returns and this would be better than
to lose money on coniectural lnajorties
The same paper has the following in relation to
the warmly contested election in Nebraska for del
egate TO Congress
The election in this Territory hoty contested
for wonder, not upon political grounds, but mainly
with reference the location OF the scat OF government
-Four candidates Chapman, (natonal democrat Ihayer,
(ndependent Rankin democrat,) and Ferguson, dem
started for the race half dozen or more having
been choked off prior to that time; and all OF them came
mp to the Judge stand pretty well together b. b. Chap
man it is understood the successful candidate beat
ing Judge Ferguson about fifty votes.
The capitol at Omaha is nearly ready for the roof
the citizens of that town having in their corporate
pacty borrowed money enough to finish it, after it was
known that Congress would make further appropra-
tion.
z The secretary of Nebraska Mr. Cunning was in this
city Yesterday on brief visit from the Territory.
After several days of doubt the result in the sec
ond congressional district of Tennessee is at last
definitely known. The Nashville Union of the 10th
instant says:
Reliable verbal information places the election Of
MAYNARD beyond doubt. What his majority will be we
are unable to say This result will fall as damper upon
the feelings many of friends who had been oacu
Iating upon Wallaces election. Wallace has made
glorious run, and but for the falling off in the democratic
vote in Claiborne might have been elected. We shal
publish the vote get it.
This will make the congressional delegation from
Tennessee stand democrats to knownothings.

Tho want OF sufficient hotel accommodation in the
great commercial metropolis of the Mississippi val
ley has long been felt There is not sufficient room
in the present numerous and well-kept hotels to
commodate the travelling public. Spirited efforts
now being made to correct this evil by building
several additional hotels ON very large scale. If
these should fall into proper hands, and be con-
Quoted with due regard to the comfort and accom-
mediation of the guest it viii go far to remove the
present inconvenient state of things And, in this
connexion, cannot forbear commencing to the at
tention of those who have never visited st. Louis
Barnums admirable, wellregulated, well-kept, and
superior hotel. Messrs. Barnum & Fogg, the pro-
prietors of this house certainly have few equals
in the line of their profession. 1t is obvious
to the perception of everybody that they are
actuated, in the performance of their duties by
higher motive than that Of merely making
money. They constantly seek to make their guests
comfortable and happy whilst in their house ;
and they spare labor, attention or expense to
make them So There is no man who enters their
hotel who does not feel that he has received such
share of their special and individual attention sat
ises him that his wants have been gratifed and his
comforts secured. They possess tact and gentle
manly ease in attending to the comfort of each ind-
vidual which is peculiarly their own They bestow
their attention not with that fnssy ostenaon which
shows that it is matter of form, but it is done
with an easy welbred, and quiet perseverance
which assures you that it intends to accomplish all
that it proposes. Whilst in their house man feels
that he is enjoying the hospitality of high-toned,
well bred gentlemen in private mansion, with all the
freedom and comfort of the best-regulated hotel,
We can but hope that the Southern Hotel, now in
process of erection in st. Louis, may be of capacity
equal TO the wants of the travelling community and
that Messrs. Barnum & Fogg may be induced to take
it, where they may find ample field for the exer-
else of their happy and peculiar talents hotel pro-
