The Admission of Minnesota.

The Admission of Minnesota.
The admission of this new State was
voted for in both houses we believe, by
every Democrat present, North and
South; but strange to say, it was violent
ly opposed by two or three of the Black
Republican leaders in the Senate-and
by GidGings, Sherman, and several of.
the leaders of the same party in the
House! Yes, these boosted champions
of freedom-these men who are con-
stantly prating about the "encroach-
ments of the slave power" and trying
to alarm the people with the danger that
the slave States will outnumber the free.
and thus gain n prcponderance in Con-
gress-these men made factious, r%anting
speeches against the admission Of This
Free State!
The true secret of all their opposition
is the political character OF Messrs.
SHIELDS and RICE. both of whom are
true hearted, reliable Democrats. Had
they been on the other side of the ques-
ton, there would not have been a whim-
per against their admission to seats i'll
the Senate. But the pretext for this
persistent opposition to the admission
of Minnesota is, that her Constitution
allows unnaturalized foreigners to vote.
Speaking on this question, the New
Hampshire Patriot very t~ruthfuliy and
~pointedly remarks:-"And this objec-
ton is urged by the very men who voted
for the enabling act which allowed un-
naturalized foreigners to vote for mem
beas OF the Convention to form the Con
stitution! This fact alone proves that
this objection is but a shallow and dis
honest pretext. But the objection is
utterly u%ntenable; it is a question it'll
which Congre IS has 10 right to inter.
tere, It is 4 matter within the exclusive
control Of the people OF the State. Ma.
ny of the States allow unnaturalized for,
eigners to vote for the State officers; anC
if this is a valid objection to the admis-
sion of Minnesota, it is also a valid OBJ
lection to allowing those States to re
t main in the Union! 1t is a mere pretext
!, a fimsy subtertuge, to cover up the rea
, motive for this scandalous course Of thu
black republicans in opposing the admis
sion of a free State. These men art
e seeking to make political capital at tn
), expense of the rights of the people OF
these two great States, minnesota an
. Oregon, and according to their OWL
: theory, at tle expense OF the great caus
of human freedom. They do not wan
any more free States admitted into tn
# Union, because the admission of thes
- States. would remove their great bugbea
j. of the danger of the preponderance c
IS the slave power. The admission c
these two free States would show to tn
. whole country that Mr.. Seward Wa
It right when he recently declared that III
battle is over on this question, as
.e would give eighteen free States to fftee
a slave States; and it would thus take frol
d the agitators one of their great hobbit
lie -one of the bugbears with which the
have so long excited the fears of sha
p low-pated people here in the North"

Biographical.
JOHN STARK.

The father of Brigadier-G Genera
John Stark was a native of Scotland
In 1871 he emigrated to America, set
Ting in Londonderry, where John
the second of four sons, was born
His childhood and youth were passet
in obscurity. In his twenty-fourtl
year, with his brothers John and Will
liam, and two brothers Eastman, HI
went on a hunting excursion in the
Northwestern part of the State. they
came upon q trail of a party of Indians
and John with one of the Eastmans
was taken prisoners. When the band
returned to their tribe, the st. Francis,
the two pale faces were compelled to
run the gauntlet. Eastman was sc.
vcrely whipped by the young warriors,
armed with rods, between the lines OF
which he was obliged to run /; but
Stark, at starting, caught a club from
the nearest one, and dashing about
him as he ran, received scarcely a
blow, much to the confusion Of the
young braves, his own satisfaction,
and the delight of the old warriors,
who enjoyed the discontinue Of their
sons. Being ordered to hoe corn, he
cut up the corr and spared the weeds,
to show himself ignorant of what the
savages considered unmanly work.
As this expedient did not serve him,
he threw his hoe into the river, and
said, "Hoeing corn is the business OF
sauaws, not warriors, ! will hoe no
more" They called him the young
chief, and adopted him. He was ram
somed. The next year he started on
a hunting excursion to the head wa
tiers of the Androscoggin, to procure
means of paying his ransom money.
He brought a report of the country
which induced the General Court of
New Hampshire to explore it. Stark
was guide to the company appointed
for that purpose.
In 1855 an expedition was planned
against Crown Point. A corps of ran
gers was enlisted in New Hampshire,
and Stark's reputation was such that
he received a lieutenant's commission.
He distinguished himself in several
actions, by his bravery, GOODNESS and
decision. In July 1853, while on the
march against Ticonderoga, he supped
and talked about the coming battle
with Lord Howe, who had invited him
to his tent. In the battle, Stark dis
tinguished himself; and after the
close of the campaign he married.
At the rupture between England
and the United States, though two Of
his brothers and Major Rogers, his old
commander in the v years war,
cspoused the cause of Britain, John
never wavered. From the first he de-
cided to fight for his native land. At
the battle of Bunker Hill, his regi-
ment formed the left Of the American
line. To the one who, in the midst of
the battle, told him his son was killed,
Stark replied, "This is not the mo-
ment to talk of private affairs. Go
back to your duty" Instead of hav-
ing been killed, though, Stark's son
served through the war. Feeling ag-
grieved that his name was omitted in
the list of promotions, in which was
found those of junior officers, Stark
protested against the wrong, yet he
afterwards served acceptably and
with honorable illustrated.
