About Secession.

The jackson Nssissippian,an amazingly in
tense Southern fire-eating journal, which is
anxious the South should go out of the Union,
recently put the query to the Memphis En-
quirer, whether it was not in favor of South
ern secession from the Union, ifa Republican
should be elected President in 1860. The
Enquirer responds "that it subscribes to no
such doctrines as resisting the Inauguration
Of President constitutionally elected, and
that it will resist it to the utmost, and it adds
that until the Southern people are struck with
judicial blindness, it can never take deep
hold upon the public mind. 1t assures the
4Nississqpian that it and its friends will have
sharp time before they are able to dissolve
the Union.

Philadelphia City Election.

In Philadelphia at the recent Charter elec-
ton, the Peoples Ticket was elected by an
average majority of $500 votes. The same
party have majority in both branches of the
City Councils The Bulletin says:
"The vote was very light one, or the ma
;orities for the Peoples ticket would have
been double what they are. Still sufficient
has been accomplished to show that great
majority of the people of Philadelphia are
uncompromisingly opposed to the policy, the
practice and the men of the Federal Admins
tration party. The only two officers chosen
by vote of the whole City were the City
Treasurer and a City Commissioner, and
Messrs. Benjamin II. Brown and Charles NJ.
Neal, who are chosen to fill these posts, are
gentlemen who, we are confident, will prove
fully worthy of the public confidence. Both
branches of the City Council and the School
Board, are carried by the Peoples party, SO
that there is a certainty of harmony in all
parts of the City government, and continu-
ance of the excellent system of the past year.
The result of the election is, in all respects,
gratifying, and particularly as it indicates what
will be the result of the more important cleo
ton next October"
The total vote for City Treasurer was 49,
35s; that for City Commissioner, 49,2O5 ;
the Peoples candidate for the Office having
1926, and the Peoples candidate for the Sec
ond Office having 2,77l majority.

lect Council, 6 are Democrats; 8 Opposition,

The Effect Of European War ON Nlin-

The Effect Of a European War on Min
nesota.
The recent news from Europe shows the
probability of war, which before it closes
may array in hostile conflict half the nations
of that continent. There be those in our city
who rejoice over this news, anticipating mate
rial benefits to our State from such an event.
God pardon them for the feeling Half mil
lion of men destroyed-several hundreds of
millions of treasure wasted-misery untold
the lot of millions of innocent human beings
these will be the consequences of such a
war. May the Almighty, in his mercy, avert
it and defend us from the sin of desiring to
prosper at cost so immense and so terrible.
But Dould we prosper? We doubt it.
Minnesota's prosperity depends upon supplies
of Men and Money. immigration and Capt.
tai are our reliance for the future. 1t is not
possible that our small surplus of agricultural
products, will amount to much, as source Of
wealth or progress to us. The governments
of Europe will of course at once arrest immi
grafton, because they will need the men il
would take away, for aggressive or defensive
purposes at home. The same governments
will absorb the capital Of the world in fur
nishing the sinews of warfare. Thus, so fal
as Minnesota is concerned, we see before III
People and Money withheld from the develop
ment our peaceful physical career, by Euro
pean war; and therefore, both humanity an,
interest cause us to dread and depreeate it.
Our feelings, to be sure, will not influenc
the event, one way or the other; but our man
hood, our Christianity, our mere pocket feel
ings, alike JON to make us deprecate, abho,
and deplore such catastrophe.
The next news from Europe, therefore, W
ardenuy hope, will bring us the news {
It,.oe, Ni d Truth, believe, tho prosperit
of our State depends upon the status bein
maintained throughout the world, of " Peac
and Good Will unto men!"

ing up:
This parallel, or rather contrast, might be
extended throughout the entire list of counties

partiality and injustice of the Central Com
mittee's scheme of representation. When
you add to the above the equally glarino
wrong, which we exposed the other day, Of

millions of money in exchange for mruly
provinces which gave her neither revenue nor
real power; and Austria, possessing the up
per Danube, would have thus extended her
authority to the lower Danube, which natur-
ally belongs to her as Louisiana and the lower
Mississippi does to the American Union; the
mine of Italian revolution, long worked by
the internal irritation caused by the presence
of Austrian rulers and bayonets and despo-
tism in the land would have been effectually
countermined by liberty and independence;
and the Peace of Europe would have thus
been secured for generation at least
But it was not, we suspect, the policy OF
France, or rather of Louis Napoleon, to bring
about such result; and England did not
see, or would not, the fatal error of not insist
ing upon the consummation of an arrange
ment which would have done no injustice to
any one; would have given liberty to Italy ;
would have thrown the power of Austria also
into the Crimean war, and aided to bring it to
the speedier termination.
When the Congress of the great powers
met at Paris, after the Crimean conflict, the
fostering sores of italian revolution and Of the
Austrian Lombardy rule in Italy, were again
shirked italian revolutionary feeling was
left to rpen into the fever of blood-letting; and
Sardinia to 60 along steadily in the career OF
preparation to answer the demand of Italy to
free the soil from the Austrian. For this, she

Napoleon, that the bonds Of the French ALI
ance might be made frmer and stronger; and
and for this, she is now in arms, and it
may be, now graphing with the Austria in a
death struggle.
What Louis Napoleon's ulterior views are
no one can tell, They are certainly not those
which animate Sardinia.
But of these, and the immediate pretexts
for the present war, we will speak again.

River Inklings.
- ST. PETER, May 5, 1859.
To the Editors Of the Minnesotian:

-~".a OT. PETER, may o, 1909.
To the Eaitors Of the MSnnesotiam:
The MURDER.-Nothing new in regard to
the mysterious murder in LIE Seur County, has
transpired since l wrote you last. Some of
our citizens endeavored to trace it to the In
dians but the more they looked into the
affair, the more mysterious it became. In
matter of this kind, where the evidences of
bloody tragedy are unmistakable, it is natural
that opinions and conjectures should be form
ed, as to its probable cause, which an investi-
cation would prove unfounded; and in the
present instance, there appears to be no foun-
dation for the rumor that it was the Winnie
bagoes, except the fact that there was party
encamped near there. 1 cannot learn that
any attempts were made, after the first few
days, to discover the perpetrators. The bull
let found was Sharpe's rifle ball.
G1NsENG.-A company of gentlemen from
Virginia, have commenced the business Of
drying Ginseng, at Lake W Washington, about
four miles from this place, in the big woods
Instead of stampede to Pixies Peak, there
is general rush of the unemployed to the
woods, as digging Ginseng is much sure'
mode of accumulating wealth than digging fol
gold. They pay cash, also, which is an addi
tional inducement in these times.
FOUNDRY preliminaries, I understand
are all arranged, for the erection Immediately
of Foundry at this place. An enterprisins
firm from Rock Island, Illinois, are the pro
iectors. Success to it.
The WEATHER, &c.-We are having de
lightful Spring weather, and the farmers ar
unusually busy, getting in their crops. Th
authorizations of the editor Of the Statesman il
regard to our facilities for raising vegetables
will doubtless he realized, as the princip;
business at present, is planting "roots an
yarbs," in the numerous gardens. The rive
at this point is still very high, but gradual
coming down to it's regular work. viz: turr
ing and twisting in the crooked channel
Business is little more lively, with increasir
prospects for good season. H.
