At ii o'clock the Speaker called the House
to order, when the Senators preceded by
Lieut.. Gov. Holcombe, appeared in the Hal
and took their seats.
Senator RIDPATH moved that Com
mittee of three be appointed to inform the
Governor that the Joint Convention was now

The Speaker appointed Messrs. Ridpath

The Committee retired for few minutes
when they appeared attended by Mr.. Sibiey
who went up the Speaker desk, and read the
following:
FELLOW CITIZENS minnesota has, at
length, been permitted to take her place in
the Union "upon an equal footing with the
original States" Congress- by solemn act
of legislation, approved by the President, has
recognized her as sovereign and independent
member Of the Confederacy-free, henceforth
from the tramme!s of Territorial vassalage
and bound by no allegiance to any earthly
power outside of her own limits, except to
the Federal Union to the extent prescribed
| by the Constitution of the United States.
To Almighty God should we express our
gratitude, that we have been preserved in
our transition from Territorial to State
Government-frrm the anarchy which has
afflicted the people of sister Territory under
like circumstances. Within our border:
there have been no assemblages of armed
men banded together to oppose or to enforce
existing laws-no drop of human blood has
soiled the pages of our brief political history
and we now assume the responsibilities o
self government, united, as fervently trus
and believe, in the determination to maintain
unblemished the character and public credit
of the new State of Minnesota.
But, while it is subject Of congratulatior
that Minnesota is now State in the Union

outrageously managed and taxes sufficiently

may we'll challenge the admiration of the
country. Conscious of the strength of her
position, and of their rights under the Con.
stitution, they suffered long and silently, re-
framing from any unbecoming demonstra-
tions, however they might feel outraged by
the unnecessary delay. They evinced a will
lingness to submit to any sacrifice that did
not involve the honor of their State, rather
than to leopard the public tranquility, and
weaken the bonds of the Union, by hasty
and premature action. The intelligence of
the admission of the State was received with
satisfaction, indeed, but was unattended With
those exhibitions of enthusiastic JOY with
which the tidings of cordial and warm re-
ception at an early period of the session,
would doubtless have been greeted by one
and all alike. Two of the members elect
from this State, have, after fierce struggle,
been permitted to take their seats, Hon.
George L. Becker having magnanimously
withdrawn his claim and sent in his resgna-
tion to the Governor, so as to throw no OBJ
stacle in the way of his colleagues.
AS Territory, Minnesota has had brief
and prosperous career. Organized by Con-
gress in lS49, with population of less than
six thousand souls, confined principally to a
few settlements on the east of the Mississippi
river, there were not wanting false prophets
to predict that her high latitude would prove
an nsurmountable obstacle to her ever be-
coming a great and prosperous Common
wealth. Nine years only have elapsed, and
she has taken her place in the Union with
nearly two hundred thousand people, who
will compare favorably with those of any
other State for enterprise, intelligence and
virtue. Her vast extent-her fertile soil
her numerous lakes and navigable rivers-her
healthy and bracing climate-her immense
pine forests-her mineral wealth-the muni-

TuE ASsiyERsARY.-From the Secretarys notice
IL will be seen that the time for our Anniversary is
6,ed for the 10th of October. The coming meeting
il one Of much Importance to the success OF radical
anti.slayery in the west, and we are especially de-
sirous Of seeing, on that occasion, as many us pos
sible Of the tried and thorough friends OF the Soci-
ETY.. We hope all of those who can will come up
TO this meeting prepared to give their counsel and
aid at this important crisis of the enterprise
Never was there more need of faithful testimony
20 the truth, or liberal and efficient action than
now for never were the corrupting influences Of
party-of prejudice and compromise, working more
terrible havoc to the cause Of the slave than now
The honest are being perverted and the very elect
deceived.
In consequence of the financial enbarrassments
OF the last year added to our former feebleness OF
numbers and means as com AIRED with the work
before us, we seem to have accomplished but lit
tie, though we have done what we could as a 30
ciety and some individuals have done no5ly IN
contributions and labors. The coming Anniversa'
ry should witness some means devised to increase
our labors and extend our usefulness.
The slave still pines in his chains. The spirit
of slavery rules rnsubdaed, and many who worked
busily against it of old are bcguiled and betrayed
by false hopes and groundless expectations ana
every possible motive to do and dare Tor the right
is reckoning us on. Make arrangements then to
come to this sixteenth Anniversary OF the Western
Auti.Slavery Society.
