To the Editor If the EmiyruMt AM Journal:

10 Me EHUOF ~ Me EWtyFON AN O0NTH"t:
Sir The singular spectacle now presented by the
city of Nininger steadily towering up to eminence, not
outstanding the general s~tagnation throughout the
country, affords an evidence Of the wise policy of selling
town lots at moderate prices to actual settlers: The cit
zens Of Nininger have recently seen how the once al
parently thriving town Of Hastings has collapsed aft r
being in the hands of the parties who make their VIC
Tins mad before destroying them The hallucinati n
was notorious, and the result was not unexpected, hav-
ing been correctly predicted last spring in the columns
Of the leading papers in the Territory.
The nov wise men of the East who will emigrate
to Minnesota on the opening of navigation will not reck.
lessly invest Thousands in a building lot in a new town !;
they will want vnlue for their money.
Let the Niningerites take warning from Tie fatal
blunder of Hastings and profit by it. Let them not
vacillate from their hitherto prudent course Of letting
their moderation be known to all men certum prtr
fnum. Let them give a hearty reception to those per-
sons from Hastings who, having been the victims of mis-
placed confidence there, desire now to embark in bust
ness at Niuinger. Let it be demonstrated to them that
they can keep the bulk of their profits at Nininger in
stead of paying them all for a business stand at Hast
ings Let the undeniable fact be kept before the public,
that in the town Of Nininger Whose rapid progress dur
ing the last sixteen months equals anything ever known
in the best times,) there has been no undue inf'tio" in
he prices of property. Let the Niningerites sagacious-
ly nurse their present prestige. Mayna est %vcrit's, ct

The state Of Politics.

The New York Herald Of the 18th inst, contains a
very able article upon the approaching admission Of
Kansas, Minnesota and Oregon into the Union. 1t
shows that the contest that will take place, will be the
most important that has ever shaken our government,
and it predicts, and we think correctly, that if Kansas
is refused admission under the L~ecompton Constitution
recognizing slavery, the power of the South is lost
forever. The fact that Douglas, an undoubted aspirant
for Presidential honors, has set himself up in direct
opposition to the most vital measures of the South,
shows that already their power is waning. The great
question now is, will they fail in the approaching con-
test, and if so, will they acquiesce in their failure, or
will they rise up in open rebellion. The States Of Ala
bama, Georgia, South Carolina and Mississippi, are, the
Charleston Mercu'y informs us, ready fer the last meas
ure. If so, our country is upon the verge of civil war.
What have we to appease the storm? In the grea,
contest upon the admission of Maine and Missouri, the
two States were considered a counterpoise to each other j;
the one as a free, the other as a slave State. But in
the approaching contest, We have three free States, kan.
sas, Minnesota and Oregon applying for admission, and
not one slave State as an equivalent to the South.
The present state of our country cannot but be a sub
ject of alarm and sorrow to men of all parties. We
are, if we may judge by the events going on around us
approaching that point, where either the Union must be
violently torn asunder, or at which Southern institutions
and Southern men, must, in the language Of the New
York Herald, prepare themselves for all unconditional
surrender to the tender mercies of the North
