In the same Table No. H. will also appear the re-

preceding they were SS63.S4.
The examination of Table No. u will also show
the receipts from the State Wharves during the s-
cal year.
The sum of S3,3s6.SO was returned to the Trea-
sury from this source, being an increase compared
with the receipts in 1857 on the same account, OF
S2,S42S5.
The receipts in 1857 were unusually small. owing
to the repairs made by the State Wharfinger and
which the Comptroller felt himself obliged to al-
thorise in order to preserve the property, and he
has again consented that portion of the proceeds
shall be used in repairing Pratt street wharf, upon
the representation of the State Wharfinger to the
effect that the said wharf is in such a condition as
to require immediate attention.

and after an appropriate prayer by the Rev.

were launched into eternity.
Before the rope was cut, Green was heard
to offer up Il fervent prayer. Copeland was
not heard to pray. Green's neck was bro

chile intervention, an armed protectorate Of
Mexico. Allusion was made to the salutary
influence Of Gen. Scotts presence in the Val
ley of Mexico, for the preservation of public
order and the security of all private interests,
and it was quite likely that similar means
would now be found requisite to effect the
same results, and to prevent an European in
tervention! all of which "Mexican Protector
ate'' nonsense was an Interpolation into an 9th
erwise good lecture, which marred its general
good effect, and otherwise good sense.
Other topics and illustrate were intro
duced, of which our limited space prevents a
report.
The Railway question was not discussed.
Confidence was expressed, with any proper
adjustment of the subject by the Legislature
that the prosecution of trunk road from La
Crosse to Pembina along existing line, would
be undertaken by English capital.
The bearing of the general topic upon the
Emigration question was briefly referred to, and
some sanguine expressions in regard to the
progress of Minnesota during its next decade
of years, closed the discourse, which occupi-
ed an hour and a half in delivery.
We hope Mr.. Taylor will yet talk himself
into his right position before the public. In
the first, place, a man of his temperament
and views to profess Democracy, is an anoma-
lous absurdity. In the next place, his voca-
ton is devotion to the practical interests Of
Minnesota, and the development Of her materi-
al resources. His Five Million Loan connec-
ton was mistake and blunder, and the less
he refers to it the better for himself nor is it
worth while for him to be skinning skunks for
the South by talking Of Protectorate over
Mexico-which means the ultimate acquisition
of more territory to plant slavery upon. Let
Mexico alone. We have enough burdens Of
our own to bear. Have we not the South al
ways with US?
