grounds a little before noon. For some
reason, the Pioneer Guard, of St. Paul, al
though living within seven miles of the
Fort, did not meet them, as was expected,
but the Saltwater boys were not to be kept
back, although twenty -fve miles interviewed.
They went through their drill after the
races, and did it in such a manner as to
elicit the warmest concentrations of the
immense crowd that witnessed it, which
were expressed in the most enthusiastic
cheers. 1t was generally conceded that any
company in or out of the State, ALWAYS ex.
cepting the Zouaves,) would have to do
good deal Of work to excel, OR even come
up to them. There is more vim in that
" city nnder the hill" than in almost any
other in Minnesota. At the conclusion of
their drill on the race ground, the Guards
marched back to the Fort, where they
were welcomed to the State Fair, in brief
speech, by Secretary Baker.
TEE AWARDS.
The late hour to which the entries were
allowed to be made, made the duties of the
awarding committees very difficult, and
they were not all able to report until late
HOuI ldSC ulSuC. we udU ODtalneQ some OF
the reports, but at the request of the officers
of the Society, we delay their publication
until they can appear in an official form.
FARMERS DISCUSSION.
Thursday evening the farmers met in the
old chapel, and had an animated discussion.
The subject of the average crop of wheat
this year in the State was ventilated, and
the conclusion arrived at was that it would
reach tDenty-eigM bushels to the acre,
The farmers appeared to have walked up to
the fact that upon them rests the power
and the duty of lifting the State out Of its
financial embarrassments.
PICKPOCKETs.
AS usual, on such occasions, there were
number of pickpockets and petty thieveso on
the ground. We noticed a rather suspi-
cions fellow loafng about, who but few
days since was released from the Saltwater
Jail on a charge of larceny. The fellow,
however, was perfectly harmless during the
latter part of the day, for he was too drunk
to walk steady. We heard a number of
people complain that they had lost their
wallets, but whether they contained any,
thing or not we did not learn.

Hon. ELI THAYER announces himself an
Independent candidate for Congress from the
Ninth District. In reply to letter Of soil
citation to this effect, together with request
signed by nearly five hundred Republicans,
Mr.. Thayer gave his reasons for this step.
He complains that the established usages OF
the party have been violated out of HOSTILE
ty to him. The convention was designedly
called before be could have time to address
his constituents in many of the towns. The
Republican press of the district, be says,
has been, and is "a mere instrument in the
hands of conspiracy to misrepresent and
abuse me-"

NEGOTIATIONS with the Red Lake and
Pembina Chippewas.

The negotiations entered into by Com
missioners CULLEN and BAYLEY, on behalf
of the government, with the Red Lake and
Pembina bands of Chippewas, for the pur-
chase of their lands in the northern part of
this State and the northwestern part OF
Dakota, have not, thus far, resulted in &C.
complishing the object of their appointment.
1t appears that there were obstacles on
both sides, which it was found impossible,
satisfactorily, to overcome. The Commits
sioners were bound by instructions which
limited their action, both in regard to the
price to be offered, and the manner of its
payment neither of which met the expec~
tation of the Indians present. On the part
of the Indians, an obstacle interviewed to
prevent the consummation of the treaty, in
the absence of those of the bands living at
Wood and Rainy lakes. So, without per-
fecting a treaty, the whole matter was
referred back-by the Commissioners to
the government for further instructions, and
by the Indians present to their whole peo'
ple-with the understanding that negotia-
tions were to be resumed, at some conve-
nient point, as early as practicable this fall.
The country of which these bands Of
Chippewas claim the ownership, amounts
to some twelve or fourteen millions acres of
land-a very large proportion of which is
valuable for agricultural purposes,-and
lying directly in the track of emigration,
which has already touched its borders, and
of commerce, which has already worked
its way through to the British settlements
on its North. The general features of this
northern country are already appreciated by
our readers. A large portion of our space,
during the past three years, has been de-
voted to descriptions of this region from
the pens of able and interesting correspond
ents. These correspondents have uniformly
represented it to be section unsurpassed
for beauty of scenery, fertility of soil, and
salubrity of climate. Our own impress
sions, derived from a hasty trip through
portions of this country, lead us to endorse,
to the fullest extent, the justice of the re-
presentations heretofore given Of it through
our columns. Its acquisition by the gov.
eminent is desirable on every account. 1t
is of special consequence to our State, ag-
riculturally and commercially. We there
fore trust that the negotiations to be re-
sumed by the government for its purchase,
may result in its acquisition-thus securing
new empire to the enterprise of our peo-
pie. A just treaty, in respect of the rights
of the government, the Indians, and the
traders, would be of incalculable benefit to
the country, and would reflect the highest
honor upon those who were instrumental in
its consummatiOn.

The Missouri Compromise,

We have already stated that in 1048
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS proposed to extend
the Missouri Compromise across the CONT
nent, to the Pacific ocean, and that the pro.
posal was voted down by the very men who
are now attributing all our political ills to
its repeal. DOUGLAS moved an amendment
to the Oregon bill, in the following words:
That the line of thirty.six degrees and
thirty minutes of North latitude, known as
the Missouri Compromise line, as defined in
the eighth section of an act, entitled
An act to authorize the people OF the
Missouri Territory to form a constitutional
and state government, and for the admission
of such state into the Union, on an equal
footing with the original states, and to pro-
hibit slavery 10 certain territories, approved
March 6, 1920 be and the same is hereby
declared TO ertend to the Pacific ocean and
the said eighth section, together with the
compromise therein affected, is hereby re.
vived, and declared totbe in full force, and
binding, for the future organization of the
territories of the United States, in the same
sense and with the same understandingawith
which it was originally adopted"
Mr.. DOUGLAS, of course, voted for this
amendment, but he stood almost alone so
far as Northern Senators were concerned.
JOHN P. HALE, HANNIBAL HAML1N, and
every other anti. slavery man in the Senate,
voted against it. Mr.. HALE Subsequently
made speech against the Compromise,
even as applying to the Louisiana purchase,
in reply to one made by HENRY CLAY. To
show that at that time he did not consider
the Compromise sacred, or popular or a
good measure, we take the following from
his remarks " can only tell him Mr..
Clay that it is said that history is philo-
sopby, teaching by example; and when he
holds up the Missouri Compromise, and the
fate of those Northern men who went for it
as something that is to stimulate us to 60
for it, does he think that am ambitious of
filling martyrs grave J.? No, sir, not at
all nor do 1 want at this time to accele-
rate the doom which I have no doubt will
overtake every individual who shall vote
for the passage of measure like this"
But the Senator mistakes al
together the truth of history if he thinks
that Compromise was popular at the
North or the men who voted for it. No,
sir; those men are huang tombstones to-day
those of them who are above ground-from
the odium and obloquy that have been
heaped on them" This is what Senator
HALE thought of the Missouri Compromise
and its authors.
What Mr.. HAMLrN, the Republican can
didate for Vice President, thought, we only
know from his vote. He uoted uah Mr..
Hale. Esq
In the House of Representatives, Mr..
DOUGLAS amendment received eighty.two
votes, all but three of which mere from the
South. ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS A MEMRRR
OF THE HOUSE AND VOTED AGAINST IT.

the slavery question, was abandoned

Washington

our own country, affords contrast to.the

may we'll excite sorrow for the great
genius which they perverted, and abhor.

they turned it. Of our own illustrious
captain and statesman, who defeated sll
Napoleon's marshals in the cause OF his
country and her allies, and who ended by
overcoming Napoleon himself it might
not be fit to speak in this way; because,
though no one can have the least doubt
how he would have acted in like posi-
ton, yet he never had the opportunity of
declining an assumption Of power beyond
the law. But in Washington we may
