The Best Speculation Of the Day

We present to the public one of the greatest combina-
tive projects of the day, and we solicit their attention to
the particulars. A plain statement Of facts will be its
best recommendation.
The undersigned are the proprietors. of the greater
part of the Town Of Louisville, ON the south side Of the
Minnesota River, about fifty miles from is mouth.
The Town has been la;d out about two years, and al.
ready contains a small population, two stores, a steam
grist mill, two steam saw mills, lime-kilns, &c The IN.
~dersigned have at a large expenditure Of moaey, bought
out the vhtc!!e :gRn sise, together With some Of the ad-
joining property which they have also laid out as parts
Of the original town. The site of the town is one Of the
finest on the Minnesota River. 1t possesses an excel
lent landing, and the land on which the town is built
rises gradually and beautifully from tls river, gentle
undals,ipas ef the prairie overlooking each other as they
secede, forming one Of the handso,nest scenes one can
find in the whole valley of the Minnesota. 1t is already
the centre of a considerable trade, aud would in the or.
binary course Of events, aud without tho assistance Of
the enterprise detailed below, have gone on steadily to
success.
The undersigned have, however, bought it for another
'b)ect besides securing 1t for its intrinsic merits. They
are interested IN the City of Nininger on the Mississippi
River. They are interested IN seeing the Nininger and
st. Peter Western Railroad built, and they are willing
to hold out unexampled inducements to the public to
subscribe to the St0ek Of that kQsd. Hence 1t : heavy

Ainiuger vs.. Elastlngs.

In GUY remarks rejecting on the conduct IT some par.
ties in Hastings, Who have been in the constant habit Of
~maligning our town and openly insulting its residents
eve. since it was laid out, We had no intention or desire
to include the large body of its respectable citizens. We
made complaint against u party whose course was dis
reputable, as We should against any evil or nuisance,
and as was our right and duty as a journalist. Our cit
liens were the party agrieved, and We should have been
recreant to them, aud also, we think, to the good people
Of thar town, not to have made complaint. We did
u I think any defence would be set up for such evil in.
fuen2ss on the score that they were not in our town
! miss. From such logic, we should expect to be up
bs;!-l il we complained of thieves and robbers who
should misuse our citizens while passing through another
d strict. Like the foolish parent who becomes angered,
al those who inform him Of the evil course his child is
pursuing, such parties may learn tbs improperly Of
shielding mischief makers because they are their towns
men.
If the hit my FREUD, hit me doctrine is at al
praiseworty, it cannot be when one scamp is aiding an
other in resisting the officers of justice. The position
of the Independent suggests the comparison; it first
condenncd the Dakota Serenaders, then became their
champion when the whip of justice was applied to them
and their abettors, for their an Just proceedings. Some
of the members of that company may be estimable
persons; others may have acted thoughtlessly in their
censurable, course, but they are not likely to change or
amend by unfaitbful counsel, or imprudent justification.
We believe that a spirit of kindness and neigh
borly feeling should exist between the residents of our
two towns, even when business rivalry may place them
in warm antagonism. Such we believe is the wish of the
people in Hastings such we know is the case in this
place. We open our columns, therefore, to have the
claims of Munger set forth as a preferable location to
Hastings or other towns, for emigrants, without any
wish TO insult or annoy those from such places, whom
business or pleasure may bring here.
If residents in other places feel agri eyed at the COM
PARSONS aud statements as unjust towards them, We
will nestdeny them a proper hearing in our paper.

We notice that meetings for the PRONUNCIATION of the
Spiritual Theory are ben held in various places in this
State. A party of gentlemen, in this town, the other
night, thought to amuse them selves by forming a circle
to get communications After enjoying the sport, a.
they thought, for some time, they were taken all aback
by witnessing some peculiar manifestations, wholly un-
pected. They became sobered at once, and abruptly
broke up and left the premises, satisfied that they had
evoked the powers of another world. One Of the party
is an inveterate practical joker, whose agency we suspect
