There is no news from Washington nywise 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-
press 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
passag . Of the Lecompton Constitution BY z resolution
to close debate at an early day. The debate promises
to be "nc 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 Consultation in force, to be . felony pun
ishable with death. Another instance of Federal and
State Government conflicting. ffs ba
Speaker Orr's Committee on Investigation on the
Kansas frauds are about, it is said, to sti6e 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 30 much the more
bitter.
A proposition has been made in Congress that our
Government assume a protectorate over Central America
Hon. Z. p. stantor, late Acting Governor Of Kansas,
is lecturing 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 .
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 6rst 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,
Harris, Marshall, Montgomery, Hickman, Cox, and
their associates, for the consolidation Of a great Anti
Lecompton Party Will this swallow up the Republican
party as we'll as the Northern Democracy

Sin As it is likely that many Of our nonresident

sizing six months, as they were at the time they bound
Themselves to lay out money on improvements here, l
would suggest that the following liberal, equitable and
profitable arrangement be made with them, viz. let
them 16W have warrantee deeds FOR . moiety of their
lots. &C. that they could sell them, and instead of their
being troubled to raise money in these hard times to put
M their improvements, let the other half Of their lots
be accepted by the town, and counted as improvements,
the corporation binding itself to dispose Of these lots for
public improvements for the benefit Of the town proper
in such manner as might meet the approval Of the IN
habitants. This would at once place at our disposal a
capital Of 1t least fifty thousand dollars, and would, in
all probability soon put three times that amount in the
pocists Of those who would thus be in q position to sell
lots Instead Of f~orfei,ing them. The many worthy resi-
dent householders, who are going on in good faith either

lots to parties who, in their stead assume the stipulations
to improve, might have IF they want it, an extension
Of time to carry out their agreement, getting warrantee
deeds. from time to time, as fast as they become en-
titled to them. They will all gladly chime in with such
an arrangement, seeing it ia calculated to secure to all
concerned the greatest benefit. These parties are work.

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 . good bust
ness next season, to induce their present activity.
We have seen letters from various places East, al
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 u the West, and il grad
ually reaching our State. At ST. Paul great activity in
business is again commencing, showing . favorable con.
dition Of the money market.s7 a few more weeks will
verify the assurances given aud all along maintained
that the commercial troubles were only Temporary, and
would disappear with the return Of spring.
Of all the good indications Of Hturninx prUepetity
nothing is 80 satisfactory as the faith aud eon6desce
everywhere being manifested by the people. This is
shown in the general activity in Ill our towns, and the
cheerful look on every face.
