ask some Of those persons we meet with SO frequently
who have tried Kansas and other Territories, and who
have been dissatisfied with them, to publish their pr'o-
cipal reasons for prcferring Minnesota as the land OF
their adoption. Many in the East who read your paper
will be glad Of the information.
Our enlightened population, our healthy climate, our
bracing and mirth-inspiring atmosphere, our lovely
lakes and rivers, our rich and varied soil, our abundance
Of timber, and the great quantity of fine land open Tor
~pre.emption, afford ample topics to dilate up0n' and as
your columns are open for the publication OF facts OF
this kind, 1 trust many persons throughout Minnesota
will avail themselves of the opportunity to give vent to
their admiration;;of our State, at the same time conhn'ng
themselves to facts of which they are personally cog
ni,aut. Yours, respectfully, t.

There has been very little of importance transacted
BY the Legislature the past week a few bills of LEGAL
interest only have been passed, and a large number in
troduced and put on their passage. The Eve .inien
Loan Bill lies suspended in the. Legislature, but is well
discussed in every town and by every paper in the State.
We believe it is gaining in favor, but whether 81 6icient-
ly SO to produce a favorable impression on the opponents
of the measure, is doubtful. The Homestead Bill is
favorably regarded, and seems likely to pass soon.

The steamboat business promises to be brisk on the
Upper Mississippi next season. A number of new boats
are announced to take their places-some in the old
lines and some independents soon as navigation
opens. The indications now are, that the river will
open earlier than has been known for many years. We
are pleased with the activity Of the steamboat men, who
are sure to be posted on the prospects for a good bust
ness next season, to induce their present activity.
We have seen letters from various places East, all
giving the Same accounts Of plenty Of money, Offering
at low rates, and little being taken. An easier state
of money affairs is being felt At the West, and is grad
ually reaching our State. At st. Paul great activity in
business is again commencing, showing a favorable con-
dition Of the money market. A few more weeks will
verify the assurances given and all along maintained
that the commercial troubles were only temporary, and
would disappear with the return Of spring.
OF all the good indications Of returning prosperity
nothing is so satisfactory as the faith aud confidence
everywhere being manifested BY the people. This is
shown in the general activity in all our towns, and the
cheerful look on every face.

There is no news from Washington anywise favorable
to the speedy admission Of Minnesota into the Union
It may be months yet, and it may be brought about in
a few days--all depending on the Kansas question. As
the leading Southern members in both Houses OF Con-
cress have proclaimed this to be their attention, we shall
now have an additional motive to be interested in Kan
sas affairs.
1t is automatically known in Washington that Gov
Denver has written a letter to President Buchanan ad-
vising against the acceptance of the Lecomptou Consti-
tuition, as it will bring on civil war.
The Administration s. n tors intend to hasten the
passage Of the Lecompton Consultation BY q resolution
10 close debate at an early day. The debate promises
to be ono Of the greatest in the history Of Congress.
The Territorial House of Representatives Of Kansas,
have passed a law declaring any endeavor to put the
Lecompton Constitution in force, to be . felony pun
ishable with death. Another instance Of Federal and
State Government conflicting.
Speaker Orr's Committee on Investigation on the
Kansas frauds are about, it is said, to stide the inquiry
proposed by the House and desired BY the country.
The majority in the House are thus disappointed IN
their intention. The fight will be 80 much the more
bitter.
A proposition has been made in Congress that our
Government assume a protectorate over Central America
and Mexico. -,
Hon. 4. p. Stanton, late Acting Governor Of Kansas,
is lrc,uring in New York city to large audiences against
the Lecompton Constitution.
A new Territory, Carson Territory, is proposed to
be erected out Of that part Of the United States Terri
tory lying west Of Utah. The only other instance OF q
Territory called after a personal name IS Washington
Territory. Washington and Carson What next?
1t is clearly understood that in the event of persistent
attempts drs, to pass the Minnesota State bill, a PROPOSE
ton will be made to unite it with the Kansas measure,
that the success Of the one may depend upon the pas.
sage of the other. Such is the present programme.
SOMETHING NEw.-Steps are now being taken in
Washington by Messrs. Douglass, Stuart, Brcderick,
their associates, for the consolidation Of a great Anti
Lecompton Party Will this swallow up the Republican
party as well as the Northern Democracy?

We return our thanks to those gentlemen. h

Der Of the House, and we'll represents the interests of bis
