Slavery is restricted only By positive, organized Ie-
.tapce. 1t tas its seryitors. lis politicians, It's
presses. in all the States; il is the moral not the
thermal, range Of our Northern atmosphere that
keeps it out of the present Free States. Give the
| present Democratic party undispu,ed power, and
slavery would soon not merely rule but flourish
| from Madswaska 10 the Isthmus Of Darien.
II would seem that the people of that part OF the
ls,e Territory OF Mune Gotta no, included within the
boundaries of tie new State of Minnesota, hase,
without wsitug for any authority from Congress
therefor in the full exercise Of the right Of Squstter
Sovereignty, procerded to set up government of
tteir own. They baye choten it would appear, 3
| Council and House Of Representatives., aad this
body has chosen II Governor. The name given to
this new, anomalous Territory, which seems to
claim ali the privileges Of State, except that Of
sending Senators aud Representatives t. CDngrcss,
is Qdcoia, and the .eat Of gosernWent is fixed at
present at Sioux Fall- on the Big Sioux River.
We have before us toe frat message of this AROMA
lous Governor, Mr. Henry Masters, addressed,
October i5 TO this anomalous Legislature convened
for its first session, but which, after thus organizing
government, was, it seems, to adjourn without
proceeding any further. According to Governor
Masters, the meaning Of the Indian word Dacota-
though We for our part must confess to great
dstrust Of all poetica and sentimental translation
from the Indian tongurs-s friendly; Il circnm-
stance twice sluded to in his message. Accordingly
be copgratuates the Legislature not only on the
.oL rtk.
but on their having accomplished the important
trust committed to them Of framing territorial
government without admitting into their discus
'sions those distractDg elements which recently
$50 unhappily agitated the deliberations Of sister
"Territory;" to wit, Kansas. He also suggests
that this escape from angry collision may perhaps
he accepted ms reason to hope that their future
| declarations may be followed by the Ike happy
retult, "ahd that the sentimental Specification of
"tte Territorial title Dacota-fricndly-
spring from their hearts as freely toward the
members of every State and Territory of the
Union as toward their own citizens"
After this pretty little poetica flourish, Gov.
Masters proceeds to business and makes some judi
cious suggestions with view to the legislation Of
tLc urAI stssiou. III CoH'iutIDG 'uc oimVos uu
"paraleled richness of the sOil''-the soil Of all
new territories is apt We have observed, to be
always Of unparalleled fertility, at least in the
messages Of the Governor-he expects and hopes,
that large proportion of the new settlers who, ne
thinks, will be rapidly drawn into tho Territory as
soon as its fertility and sslabrty become known,
"will devote their attention to the cultivation Of
fh., e.il nd tbo of sfn.l Ha cnp-
ynced that the Legislature will adopt the most lib
era policy upon this subject, and also, that they
will give their most favorable consideration to the
mechanic arts. Roads and bridges are indispensa-
bic TO the speedy settlement of new country aud
will furnish another topic for legislative consdera-
ton. The Judicial systems, while freed from un.
necessary technicalitics. and simpGfed so far as
| possible, will, be hopes, be constructed with
wise adherence to such forms and proceedings ~
have been we'll approved BY time and experience.
Education he considers most important subject,
among the first to be provided for, aud he dwells
upon it at considerable length. The Governor
also goes in for the " federation of all religious
scc,s however widely they may differ in words
- and forms Of worship, while based upon the es-
GENITAL principles Of the Christian code Love
- TO God and man."
| So far the message OF Goy Masters. But what
| will Mr Buchanan say to this new Territorial
Government thus improvi.edb by the people, without
| saving TO him or TO Congress, By your leave
According to tue latest accounts from Washington,
| Mr. Buchanan, since the late triumph Of Douglas,
has grown excessively ferocious against the doc
| trine Of Squatter Sovereignty. What will he say
| TO this ne& exercise Of il, Will he march an
| army into Dacota as he did into Kansas and Utah
10 retstabl.h the sighted authority of the United
| States' Or will he send some Judge Lecompte-
| perhaps the very Lecompte himself as it might be
difficult TO fud just such anOther-to get Gov.
| Masters and bis Legislature indicted for TREASON
| We shall watch the result with no little interest.
! II will we think, serve TO show whether Mr.. Bu-
| chanan holds to the doctrine that sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander. Possibly however,
| the discreet non. committa Of the good people
| of Dacots on the subject OF Slavery usy mitigste
little the wrath of the President, and may perhaps
| save the breasts Of Gov Masters and his fellow
con,pirators from the bsyoret and their necks
| from the halter.
| We claim word with his Honor the Mayor on
| the Thanksgiving question. We belong to the
school of thsnksgiyers. We consider all lfe-eyen
