The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1858-08-19

The New York Herald, of the 10th inst,
derives from the material afforded by the
report Of the second adjourned Frazer Riv.
er meeting held in this city, which it pub
fishes entire, a mass OF conclusive testimony
against the absurd position taken by the
London Times, that the nov country pro-
posed to be colonized is unfit for the pur.
pose. The earnestness with which the
Herald has taken hold Of this subject, from
the start, is a new proof Of the sagacity
which has always enabled that journal to
perceive and anticipate the great movements
Of the age-to be the first to chronicle the
inception and contamination Of all the great
enterprises Of the day.
In an editorial based upon the facts fur.
nished in the speeches at the meeting above
mentioned, the Herald sums up the results
Of the movements here, and closes with the
following paragraph:
But, after establishing the agricultural
capacities of the inter, ening country, and,
with theory supporting the opinion that
the Frazer river gold mines will prove to
be exceedingly rich, the speakers at this st.
Paul meeting proceed to the question OF o
Pacific Railroad. Upon this subject they
have evidently made up their minds-frst,
that Congress shall no longer overlook the
general advantages Of an extreme northern
route; and secondly, that in the event of
the continued neglect Of Congress, Mime
sofa will fall back upon English capital and
English cooperation for Pacific railroad
through the British dominions, connecting
with St. Paul by the way Of the Red river
of the North.
In this connection, Including the Allan
tic telegraph) from the resolutions adopted
by the meeting under review, we may antic-
ipate most extraordinary ventilation OF
this subject OF Pacific railroad between
our Northern and Southern politicians at
the next session Of Congress. The proba-
bilities are, that in the conflict between the
extreme southern route, q central route and
q northern route, the whole matter, as at the
last session, will be again and again post
pOned, and that while thus our sectional pol
iticians shall still remain at dead lock, our
Minnesota pioneers, in cooperation with
their Canadian neighbors and the British
government, will have opened way Of COM
municaton by steam, including boats and
locomotives, from st. Paul to Vancouver
island.

Republican Sagacity.

4The Times, of yesterday lays down pro
position in strict accordance with the sagac-
ity which invariably controls that sheet.
According to our neighbor, if seventeen
Republican and three Democratic Senators
ia majority of the Senate) voted for the
$4,000 stationery and postage stamp steal,
and eighteen Democratic Senators against,
the responsibility for the plumber rests solely
upon the Democratic party, because ma
jority Of the Senate is composed of Demo
Gratis
Now, we differ from the Times. We hold
that the responsibility rests upon the guilty
alone,-upon those who voted for the appro-
priation, no matter what may be their polt-
ical sentiments and professions.

The Acceptance Of Gerr,t Smith.

GERRir SMITH has written letter accept
ing the nomination of Governor rendered
him by the mass convention at Syracuse
last week. lie accepts without reserve, and
proposes to stump the State this fall to lay
before the people the principles which he
thinks should influence the election. II is
also stated that paper is to be started at
Syracuse which will advocate his claims
In his letter Mr.. SMITH expresses strong
hopes that be will succeed, and indeed there
is reason to believe that he will poll fall rs
large vote as any Black Republican who
could be put upon the course. He is very
popular throughout the State, and will
unite many votes upon himself which no
other man could obtain, 1t was but four
years ago that he run as an independent
candidate Tor Congress, and distanced all
competitors. Governor CLARK run upon
the temperance issue and was elected. This
is exactly what Mr.. SMITH proposes to do.
Governor KING run upon the anti-slayery
issue. and was elected. Mr.. SMITH proposes
to run upon the same issue He enters the
campaign as the avowed advocate Of the
questions upon which the last two Cover
nors were elected.

On Thursday before adjourning the Senate,
unanimously, passed . resolution returning
the thanks Of the Senate, to Hon. w.
HoLcoxBK, Lieutenant Governor, for the
dignity. impartiality and ability with which
be has discharged the duties of presiding Of.
fcer Of the Senate"
We Are glad tina, the Republicans Of the
Senate, before adjouruing, awoke to . con
sciousness Of the improperly and scurili.y OF
the protest they presented a few weeks since,
in which they accused Lieut. Gov. HoLooxsK
Of the baseness OF ARNOLD, and deserving the
fate ofJrpAs. BY casting their votes for
the resolution referred to, they made the best
s,ouement in their power, and performed q
simple, ye. graceful act OF justice. to IN hon
orable and high toned gentleman.

The following resolutions introduced into
the Senate by Mr.. HALL, Of this city, but
not passed owing to the adjournment, are
both pointed and true:
WHEREAS, The House Of Representatives did
on Tuesday, the 10Th day Of August, pass a
resolution in which pharsaically thanking God
that they we're not rs other men. and arrOga
ting to themselves the privilege OF. by mere re-
solve, OF judging Of the motives OF their peers
in this Legislature. they did charge upon mem
bers "corrnpt designs" in their attempt legal
ly to elect United States Senator. to succeed
Hon. James shields. whose term expires on the
ID day Of March, A. ID. 1859, before which time
there will he no future session Of the Legsla-
ture Of this State and
Whereas. The author Of such resolution, and
many who voted therefor, and the same who
adv ised and concgrred in such corrupt de-
sign,' II orrupt they were, and the members
Of this Senate, when their character and mo-
tives are TO be public, wish to be brought be
fore q more honest tribunal; therefore be IL
RSsoired, That the Senate Of this State &C
knowledge their responsibility TO their constr
tuents for their acts, 10 their God for their mo-
tves, and Indignantly deny the facts upon
which the resolution Of the House 10 based. and
denounce the same a. false. unjust, uneoprte-
Gus, and presumptuous usurpation upon the
part Of that body.

Maintaining the 1ntegri,y Of the school
aud Unissrsiiy :'unds.

We referred to the fact, on Sunday. that
Gov. SIbLEy had refused to approve the
School Bills passed by the last Legislature.
In regard to the "act to provide for the sale
and appraisal of the school lands, We find
the following reasons for the Executives ac-
ton endorsed upon the bill
Frst.-it authorizes tho sale OF all the School
Lands in the State. without reference to the
restitutions and conditions imposed by Section
Two Of Article Eight Of the Constitution.
SECOND lit does not provide for requiring suf
doieut security for the payment Of principle and
interest for the lands To DO sold.
As To the bill Ito provide for the main.
tenance and organization OF Common
Schools, the Governor says;
~ have refused to approve II. +. to2, An
Act to provide for the organization and main
,des for u system Of compensation to the
County superin,endents and other officers
am ounting 10 more than ten thousand dollars
per snuam TO DO paid out Of the school fund.
In my Judgment, the provisions Of the bill are
properly applicable only TO an older and richer
community than Minnesota, and that IL would
be premature to put it in immediate operation
In this state
The Governor also declined to afliy his
signature TO memorial OF tue legislature OF
the State Of Minnesota to his Excellcncy
JAMES Buchanan, President OF the United
States, because it requests the President
to cause patents to be issued 10 persons who
have preemp,ed portion Of the University
lands, which he has a right TO do, and also
to allow the Governor Of the State to So
lect other vacant lands instead therefor,
which he has no right TO do, unless author
iked by Congress. | am not willing that
the rights OF the State be Invested to the
land in question. until il is rendered certain
that other lands will be granted her by Con
grss.'

ocrstic press Of the country. Our readers

August Elections.

ARKAssAs.---Arkansas is 10 well satisfied
with the present Administration. that no
opposition organization any longer exists
there. In the First District, T. c. HIND
NAN Is elected to Congress without opposi-
ton and in the Second District, ALBEIT
RUr, the regular Democratic nominee, is
elected by large majority over T. s. DREw,
former Governor of the State, and indie
pendent candidate.
KESrUcKY.-The Louisville Courier, Of
the 9th inst, says: I'VE publish official
election returns from 20 counties in the
State. In these, REviIL, the Democratic
candidate for Clerk Of the Court Of Appeals,
gets 1890 votes, and McKEE, *. N.Y.
43,792 votes and RKvIrL's loss in the
same counties is GAG, as compared with the
race Of GARRARD and JONES In 1857
In the 81 counties TO hear from, the vote
for GARRAHD was 1928, and for JONES
1856. Should RKvILL lose nothing in
these counties, his majority will be ll,705.
RxvILLs majority will, however, certainly
exceed 10000 and may reach 10000
NoRrH CAROLISA.-The returns from
North Carolina reach us slowly, but what
are at hand show decided gain for Judge
ELLIS, the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, in nearly every county, over the election
for Governor in 1856, when Gov. BRAGG
was elected by over twelve thousand. In
the Legislature the Democratic gains are
three members and the loss four. In the
last Legislature there was q majority on
joint ballot Of something like fifty. The
Democrats have lost member Of Congress
by the election OF VANCE, American, in
CLISGMAN's district, over AVERY, Demo
crat.
Miss oURI-lhc Democrats have elected
every member Of Congress in this State, and
secured large majority in the Legislature,
BARRErr's official majority over BLAIR, in
the st. Louis district, is 42G.

We mean for those tgy00 voted by the mem.
beers Of both branches Of tbe Legislature, for
services rendered the State during the recess of
that body, None other than the Democrats.
They have actually stolen from the pockets Of
the people % 800, VIZ 5000 to pay Senate
members and N, 900 to pay the members Of the
House, not for work performed, but for no
work whatever. Talk about corruption In
Legislative bodiesl We have seen nothing
that can transcend this 1tmss.
'"Ist the responsibility rest upon the gull
ty." ihe appropriation was advocated in
the House by Republicans as well ~ Demo
Gratis, and was opposed BY members Of both
parties. The Attorney General and the
Governor--both Dcnocrats--have lett on
record their protest against the appropria-
ton. In the House, the appropriation was
supported by such Republicans as KEITH,
(who abused the Attorney General for de-
nying the constitunality Of the appropria-
toni LYLE, WAKEFIELD, Bacon, BURGESS,
Terri and others, while il was opposed by
such Democratic as Speaker BRADLEY, DIR.
BnAY, and Messrs. PIERCE, RoDIssos, Bur
rgRs, FLADgLASD and Others.
In the Senate, the appropriation was re-
jected, at first, through the Efforts OF such
Democrats ~ Gen. VAN ErrES, Major
MURPHY, CowAN, ADAMS, and others. II
was only acquicsced in by these gentlemen
TO save the general appropriation bill. The
/" stealing" was supported in the Senate by
such Republicans as HUDsos, LINDSEY,
BEMAS, HoDoEs, MKUSE, RgIsER, and
others. Mr.. HuDsos, Republican, made
speech in favor Of the appropriation. BE-
NAN did the same, and abused Gov. SIBLgY
and the Attorney General for their manly
and earnest protests against the extrava
gance Of tho two. Iiouse. Gen. VAN ErrgS ,af
ter consistently opposing the measure, said
that while he would vote for the" stealing
to save the appropriation bill, he would new
CT draw cent Of the S75 voted him, from
the Treasury.
We advise the Times to study the jour
nails OF the House and Senate, before it
again makes the false charge that none
other than Democrats stole the $1,000
from the Treasury. We would like TO hear
Of even one Republican who refused TO re-
ccive the amount.

rho Legislature.

The Senate and House adjourned Qne lie
on Thursday last. Owing to the con-
stitutional provision, which prohibits the
passage OF any bill on the last day Of the
session, no business of greater Importance
than the receiving Of reports from the En-
rolling Committees and the passage OF the
usual complimentary resolutions. was trans
acted The night session OF "Wednesday, in
the nosc, confusion, hila-ity aud III feeling
attendant upon il, bore u slight rosem-
bancc 10 the closing nights of our old Ter.
ritorial Legislature.
The session just closed has been an i'm
portant one, in the character and result OF the
deliberations OF the members A greater
number OF general laws-laws affecting for
good or evil every citizen OF the State
were passed, than al any precoling session
Of Minnesota Legislature. We regret to
say. however, that there was less delibcra.
ton upon important laws OF this character.
than there should have been, while too much
OF the time Of both branches was occupied in
the consideration Of bills for the benefit Of
private individuals anil interests This was
the great fault of the pre>nt session. A
persistent lobby securd for the considera-
ton Of their pet measures, the great portion
Of the session, and action upon important
general laws WAS thus crowdcd into few
concluding days Of the sssiou; the resul,
vas. the mos, importan, laws were passed.
with bat little examination and discussion
II they are found imperfect, it will be a
matter Of but little surprise.
As soon a. possible, We will publish the

SrEAHER BRApLKy-The House, at the
instance OF Hon. Mr.. WAKEFIELD, OF Fari-
baa 1t county, last week, passed a resolution
highly complimentary of Speaker BRADLEY,
for the ability displayed by him as presiding
ofder. This is a very proper recognition
of Mr.. BIS services, IS Speaker. II there
had been more men like Mr.. BRADLEY. on
the floor of the House, there would have
been fewer complaints Is to the action Of
the Legislature.
