Northwest Company have therefore wide
and most productive field for tho exercise Of
their capital aud enterprise. Tint they Will

cannot be a doubt
These movements on the part Of our CAM
dian cousins are specially interesting anu I'M
portant to the Northwestern States Of toe
American Union. and we can say in all sincert'
ty that we wish them abundant success. The
relation which our city bears 10 all THIS sast
rccion will lead 1,s to watch them carefully and
to keep our readers posted in reference to their
progress.
The settlement Of the country around Lahc
Winnipeg and the valleys Of the Red Anct+
and the Saskatchewan, cannot fail to give
healthy stimulus to the commerce Of the city.
Our leading merchants in the fur trade now
make it point to meet the Bed River trains
1T St. Paul, and their agents have already c1-
plored the markets Of Pcnbina. At present
ST. Paul furnishes these trains with goods, but
whatever benefits, St. Paul contributes to the
growth Of Chicago. The reapcrs and other
agricultural implements Of Chicago, ler ma-
clilery aud merchandise are already dong
good service in the valley Of the Red Rver'
The more our Canadian ueighbors can d. by
establishing lines for commerce and cm'gra1l"n:
to develop their North Western possessions
the 1uore they will promote their own prosper
ity aud open markets for the industry OF the
American States west Of Lake Michigan. The

Republican State Central Committee
Of Iowa, aud the Naturalization

at the recent meeting Of the Republican State
Central Committee of Iowa, the following reso-
lutions respecting the movement now on foot in
Massachusetts, to Withhold the right OF suffrage
from forcign-born citizens until two years after
naturalization, were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Legislature of the State Of
Massachusetts has passed an amendment to the
Constitution Of that State, by which foreign
born citizcns are deprived Of the right OF sui
ffage for two years after their naturalization !;
WHEREAS, This amendment will be submitted
tn vote Of the people Of Massachusetts Oh the
:*ll Of May, 1853, for approval Or disapproyal; !;
1Itrfort, Be it resolved by the Republican
Central Committee Of the State Of Iowa:
!. That the .boye-nan,cd Act Of the Leglala-
tu,p Of Massachusetts is violation Of the prin-
c'pi.s Of the Republican party as affirmed in
the National Republican platform adopted ut
Philadelphia, in lsIS and should therefore meet
with the earnest rcbuke Of the Republican party
in every Statc Of the Union.
y. That NC regard this net as making III In.
lust and offensive discrimination between citi-
z,lls on account Of their birth place. and show
ing therefore tendency to undermine the
foundation on which the Republican party is
lastd, which carefully preserves strict nc.
lnowlcdgment Of the equal rights of citizens
under tie Constitution Of the United States,
without regard to nationality. and N the con-
domination of ii! prescription in legislation.
:: That the Republican party in the State Of
lnwr cannot and will never approve of an. act
ty which our naturalized citizens are deprived
i Il part Of their rights as guaranteed by tue
Constitution and existing laws
=. Tint we earnestly request our Republican
llrtilren in Massachusetts to reject by their
s<',: u proposition which would be stain upon
1..e fair fumc of State which has heretofore
tra foremost in the advocacy Of free principles
and equal rights to ali men.

Since my Inst there has been conflict be-
tween the authorities Of this place and the Uni
ted States Consul. Scverul Of the principal ac-
tors in the outbreak on the 18th ult. took refuge
in the ConsuFs house, and were tl1cre several
davs without the intendentc taking any appar
cnt untice Of the fact, or even so much ns re-
questng the delivery Of the parties in question.
suddenly, however, In tile absence of the Con-
sui, his private residence was invaded by an
armed body Of police. whose object was to arrest
tic Kevolutionists, and, if necessary, to resort
to extreme measures i'll so doing. AS they were
not furnished with any order in writing from the
Governor, the Consrls lady, who was alone in
the house, refused to allow the building to be
searched, and ths privacy Of her own apart
n,ents violated in tue absence Of her husband.
The police officer it appears behaved IN very
unrentlemanly manner, and WAS becoming most
violent in his conduct, when fortunately !lr. Trc
vitt arrived, and with snne difficulty succeeded
in entering the Consulate. Upon tlndlng that
the officer was the bearer Of no written request
for the delivery Of the refugees, he Immediately
ordered Him to leave the premises; he then
begged the Consul would allow him to remain
until he could get more positive instructions
from the 1ntendcnte. This was granted, and
the answer sent back was, that the officer should
retire Immediately from the house and beg Mrs
In the altcrcatun with the Police officer, after
he hnd been made aware that he WIS in tile Con-
sulatc, Mr.. Rand. Consular Secretary, WAS
knocked down, nnd would hare been killed, if
Mrs, Trevitt h4d not placed heraclf before him
and dared them to strike her. In the struggle
the Consul succeeded in disarming the "ilicer,
and this with u revolver ut his head, was what
really brought him to terms finally
The next day party Of 50 men went TO cap
turc the parties concealed, and politely request
ed the Consulto walk out with hs family, in or
der thai the house might be searched, and if
necessary burned down for the sake Of getting
the prisoners. Mr.. Trsvitt then surrendered
underprotest and left the premises where six
young men were shortly after found and taken
prisoners.
There is variety of opinions as to the propri-
ETY. Of the conduct both Of the Consul and the
authorities; but the fact is, that the lntendcne,
who denies the right Of the American Consul TO
give protection, himself sought refuge with his
family In the house Of the Spanish Consul dur
ing the greater part Of the tumult.
Mr: Treritts ere4"atur wns yesterday can
celled by this government, and it il said that IN
action will b. entered against him for resistance
to the constituted authoritlcs.

While We drrTecatc any movement clcnla-
ted to deter the honest opponents Of the pres
ent corrupt and prodig1tc Administration. Of
whatevcr previous party designation, from CO.
operating with the Republican party in 1860,
we nevertheless desire our friends to preserve
clear and definite ideas Of the Importance Of
maintaining intact tue distinctive principles
which have given the Republican party ~
great strength. There's not the slightest
probability in the world that any kind diffusion
can he pa1chedup by which single slaycholding
State can bo. carried by the opponents of ~tl,-
Slavery Propagandists. The defeat Of the
democracy must be accomplished hy Republic
can States-by States that can be relied upon
to cast their electoral votes against that party.
without the aid Of II solitary ballot from those
who have thus far stood aloof from the Rcpub-
Acan organization. It is worse than folly to
base any action upon the probability that
either MARYLAND, Delaware or Missouri. with
l,ossihly Kentucky, Tennessee and North Car.
rolina, may be carried in 1860" for the Oppo-
sition ticket. Tho hold Of the sham Democracy
upon those States is too strong to be overcome
By any combination that may he made asainst
them Fusion will not gain US a single cleo
toral vote. while the ouly advantage that CAV
possibly result from ii would be to deprive our
opponents Of the opportunity fcontinuing their
false charge of fscctionalism. That advantage We
appreciate as it deserves, but it will not do to
lower the standard 10 gain it. Better wait un.
til il comes in its own good time. rs como it
will if tile Republican party but prove true TO
the principles Of the organization In word.
the Republican party is " uas1er Of the situa-
ton" aud nothing can prevent its accession to
power n 1860 but descent from its high
position to secure votes which it docs not
ueed. Let the masses stand irnl, counttu-
