There is q aSOuth-there must be a North.
The time is rapidly approaching when
Northern men must become an unit in resis-
tance to the consolidated aggression and i'm
pertinerce of the South.
The course of the future is clear, and
events are rolling around with fearful rapidi-
ty. There is South-there must North !
an united North, and that speedily.
The Democratic party obtained its last tri-
umph this side of Mason & Dixon's line,
upon the supposition that it was what it pro-
fessed to be, great logical and liberal party,
that sought to draw only the most honorable
deductions from the great compromises of the
Constitution. The mist is being rapidly wip-
ed from before Northern eyes, and it is be :
coming evident that the South will only fol-
low the deductions of Democratic principles
SO long as they lead to the extension of her
own particular views and peculiar institutions
so soon as they initiate against her, she
is ready to cast the oldest, fairest and most
we'll established principles of this government
and the Unior itself, to the four winds of
Heaven.
Our course and hers, therefore, will not
lie together-wewill tread different paths
let us, then, extend brotherly grasp and
greeting to each other, and on this subject
join hands in preparation for the future which
is certainly before US.

The Anti-MOnster Debt Meeting.

The meeting at the Capitol on Friday eve
ming last, in opposition to the $5,O00,0OO
loan, was crowded affair. 1t was presided
over by WV. R. MARSHALL, Esq. Gov. Cor
MAN made good speech, full Of statistics,
conclusive against the policy of the meas
ure. He took up more than his share of the
time, however, and compelled the succeeding
speakers to hurry their remarks. Judge
COOPER made sound legal argument against
the proposition. Judge GOODRICH hit off
the thing with characteristic pungency. M.
S. WILKINSON, Esq. controverted with effect
though briefly, some of the positions taken
by M. NJ. STRONG, the other night and Col.
ROBERTSON, in the course of a short speech,
classical in its illusions, put some pointed
questions to the attorneys of the Minnesota
and Pacific Railroad, Mr.. WIN. HoLL1NGs-
HEAD and Mr.. J. w. TAYLoR-who are ex-
pected to defend the Railroad Companies at
a meeting the same place this evening. The
feeling Of the large assemblage on Friday
night was evidently overwhelmingly adverse
to the bill. We refer to the full report in
another column, for further particulars.

A Prediction Verified.

The N. Y. Tribune very pertinently re-
marks that whenever, during the last Presi-
Dental contest, Republican journal or
speaker in free State expressed apprehen-
sions or convictions that the triumph of b.
cHANAN would render Kansas slave State, a
yell of derision and indignation was set up
by the supporters of the Nebraska bill. We
were accused by them, not merely of excit-
ing fears Of an impossible evil, but of kaoao-
ing that no such result as we predicted was
possible. But now Mr.. BUCHANAN coolly
tells us in his Extraordinary Message that
"Kansas is at this moment as much sIare
State as Georgia or South Carolina" and not
murmur of remonstrance is heard from any
but the Douglas men, and they are estopped
from effective opposition, having indorsed
each successive step by which the result has
been reached.

From the above table it will be seen that
the mean force of the wind for the whole
term, is less at St. Paul than at any other
station.
Here, then, we have facts, stubborn facts,
which no one dare to dispute and which
prove conclusively that Minnesota is one of
the most desirable spots on this wide world
of ours.
The observations from which these tables
are derived, have been made by scientific and
wholly disinterested men, and their correct
ness is not to be controverted. Let igno-
rant and prejudiced persons, then, who know
little or nothing about our country, say and
publish what they please; their stupid mis-
representations will avail them naught, for
Minnesota will survive all their detractions,
and become, what destiny has willed her to
be, the most important State of the whole
Northwest.

Tennessee against Lecompton.

Resolutions introduced into the House of Repre-
sentatves in Tennessee approving the Lecompton bus
ness nstructing their Senators and requesting their
Representatives to vote for the admission of Kansas
with the Lecompton Constitution. After some debate,
In which several Democrats took strong ground that
Constitution must not only be Republican, but must
body the popular will Of the Territory the resolutions
were rejected by vote Of 80 to 81.
In publishing the above, we cannot but
express the opinion, that, though we hope
otherwise, further information will prove
there is some mistake about this result in
Tennessee; and that in some other shape the
Lecompton.. ..swindle has been endorsed in all its
deformity. No Southern State would shrink
from any villainy that promised to encourage
the peculiar institution. This is lesson the
past teaches-and we see no evidence that
slavery has grown wiser or more forbearing.

The Fort Smelling Sale Investigation.
Mr.. MILLS, of the Pioneer E Democrat in
letter from Washington, which appeared in
that journal of Thursday, says:

The Fort Smelling Investigating Committee is nard
at work. Hon. Robert Smith, (who would have liked
small slice Of the land himself but didn't get IT'D Major
Eastman, Mr.. Graham of Va, Colonel Thomas of the
Army, and a few Others have been examined. Mr.
Smith II is reported drew his conscience for state
ment that the land worth from half million to
million Of dollars The general opinion is that the in
vestigaton will cost the government thirty thousand
dollars and develope the astounding fact that Uncle
Sam has cheated Mr.. Steele. OF course nobody will
sympathize with the latter individual"
TO which we would remark that the law
which authorized the sale of the Fort SHELL
ing Reserve was a short section clandestinely
slipped into some gopher bill and this being
but little known, the next fact in the swind-
ling affair, was the appearance in this vicini-
ty Of agents of the Secretary of War, who
concealed their mission and secretly sold this
magnificent property, mostly on credit, to
FRANKLIN STEELE!
These facts alone furnish, if not conclusive,
at least prima tacie evidence Of collusive
swindle.
1t is alleged that while these secret pro-
ceedings were IN progress under the imme-
date direction of the Secretary of War,
ROBERT SMITH and other gentlemen sought
in vain to learn from him how the Reserve
was to be disposed Of. They never received
an answer until after this game of thimbie-rg
was played out, and the title papers of the
Reserve in Mr.. STEELE's hands
1t is also alleged that distinguished gen.
tlemen and statesmen of the Democracy are
Mr.. SrEELE's secret partners in the purchase
of this valuable tract, whereon they expected
to build city that will rival St. Paul and
that among these co-partners are custodians
of the q. s. ub-Treasury, who furnished
the money applied to the first payment in
this now notorious sale.
The Pioneer & Democrat may therefore be
right in treating Mr.. SMITH as renegade
for since in these latter days, the Democratic
leaders have introduced corruption, bribery
and public plunder as new planks of their
platform, a public man who even only pre-
tends to be honest, deserves perhaps, to be
regarded as spy in their camp. '' y
AS regards Mr.. Smiths estimate of the
value OF the Reserve, he no doubt puts it al
lower valuation by one half than Messrs
STEELE & Go. expect to get for one fourth Of
1t. 'a''~a,
While they have probably got hold of thi.
"tit-bis," without any real outlay of money
they may yet, in short time, if allowed te
work out their plans, sell back the Fort t.
the government (it will be needed as depo
for troops) at two or three times the nomina
price of the entire Reserve. ,...u, -

than ten fall in the city of New York, and
upwards Of ele0'n in Cincinnati.
But some may fear that Minnesota may
be liable to drouth, and consequently crops
must suffer materially. This is far from be-
ing the case, owing chiefly to two causes -
one, the exceedingly heavy dews which fall,
and the other, to the lakes that diversity

Fail Of Rain and Snow in Minnesota.
We must now proceed to consider the
quantity Of snow and water which falls in
Minnesota as compared with other portions
of North America. The results given in the
table are all reduced to water. The rule
adopted in the Register" gives ten inches of
snow as equivalent to one inch of water.
These numbers represent feet and deci-
mails of foot.
