An EXQUISITE Lyric.

An Ex :uisite Lyric.
By MASSEY.
All in our marriage garden
Grew. smiling up to God,
A BONNER flower than ever
Suck'd the green warmth Of the sod.
o, beautiful unfathomably
Its little life unfurled;
Life's crown Of sweetness was our wee
White Rose of all the world.
From out gracious bosom
Our bud of beauty grew;
1t fed on smiles for sunshine,
And tears for daint;er dew.
Aye, nesting warm and tenderly,
Our leaves of love were curl'd
So close and close about our wee
White Rose OF all the world.
Two flowers Of glorious crimson
Grew with our Rose Of light;
Still kept the sweet heaven-g gifted slip
Her whiteness sanity white.
L the wind of life they danced with glce.
And reddn' d as they whirl'd;
White. white and wondrous grew our wee
White Rose of all the world.
With mystical faint fragrance
Our house Of life she fll'd-
Reveal'd each hour some fairy tow'r
Where winged hopes might build.
We saw-shough none like US might see
Such precious promise pearld
Upon the petals Of our wee
White Rose Of all the world.
But evcrmore the halo
OF angel light increased,
Like the mystery Of moonlight
That folds some fairy feast.
Snow-white, snow-soft, snow-silently,
Our darling bud uncurled.
And drop'ti' the grave-God's lap-our wee
White Rose Of all the world.
Our Rose is but in blossom
Our life was but in spring:
When down the solemn midnight
We heard the spirits sing;
"Another bud Of infancy.
With holy dews impearl'
And with their hands they bore our wee
White Rose Of all the world.
You scarce could think so small thing
Could leave loss so large;
Her little light such shadow fling
From dawn to sunsets marge.
In other springs our life may be
In hammered bloom unfurlod;
But never, never match our wee
White Rose Of all the world.

The John Brown Invasion.


While the two great political parties were

though zea!ously. conducting the great ma
tonal issue between free labor and capital

method we have adopted, of appealing to the
reason and judgment of the people, to be
pronounced by suffrage, is the oni iy one by
which free government can be maintained
anywhere, and the only one as vet devised
winch is in harmony with the Christian re-
lgion. While generous and charitable ma
lures will probably concede that John Brown
and his associates acted on earnest though
fatally ERRONEOUS convictions, yet all good
citizens will nevertheless agree that this at.

an act of sedition and treason and criminal

The Permanence of our Constitution and

Mr. President, we are perpetually forget
ting this subtle and complex, vet obvious and
natural mechanism of our constitution, and
because we do forget it, We are continually
wondering how it is that confederacy of
thirty and more states, covering regions
so vast and regulating interests so various,
Of so ma different men, constituted and
conditioned so diversity, works right on
We are continually looking to see it stop
and stand still or fall suddenly into pieces
But in truth it will not stop. it cannot stop,
it was made not TO stop, but TO keep in mo-
tion-in motion always and without force
For my own part. as this wonderful machine
when it had new y come from the hands of
its almost divine inventors, was the admira-

Gov. STEWART, of Missouri, as we have
already stated, has vetoed the bill requiring
the free negroes of that State to remove
from its borders, or accept the alternative
Of being reduced to slavery. The ground
upon which the veto is based, is that the
proposed law is in contravention of the
provisions of the constitution of the United
States and the constitution of the State
of Missouri He quotes clause from the
constitution of the United States, which
declares that +" no person shall be deprived
of life, liberty or property without the
due process of law and furthermore, that
" in all criminal prosecutions, the accused
shall enjoy the right to speedy and public
trial by jury" This, in his judgment, clear
ly includes colored persons, and would
render the proposed law utterly imperative,
on the ground of its unconstitutionality !;
and he quotes very copiously from thu, de-
cisions of Courts in Kentucky and other
slave States, to sustain this opinion. l.a-ag
The Governor discovers sundry other OBJ
jections to this bin,-one of which entities
him to the credit of special sagacity. 1t is
that the enactment of such laws will only
reawaken the wanting public excitement on
the subject of slavery, create new hostilities
against the /" institution" and excite fresh
sympathy for the colored portion of the
population. He thinks such legislation,
therefore, clearly impolitic we think he
is clearly right.

New Orleans papers of the 2lst, contain
a statement made by prisoners aboard the
Mexican prize steamer corresponding SUBJ
stantially with accounts already published.
The Gen. Miramon had crew of $50 men,
mostly Spaniards. Forty of the crew were
killed and wounded in the engagement.
The prisoners state that the arms, ammuni-
ton, &C., were put on at Havana with the
knowledge of the Cuban government. A
large portion of her cargo consisted of pow
der, which was thrown overheard during
the fight. Some of the barrels of this pow
der have been recovered and prove to be
the same as that used in the arsenals at Ha-
vana.
A despatch from Washington states that
the recent events in the Gulf occasion much
solicitude in official quarters, as it is feared
they may complicate us with the foreign
powers having large interests in that coun-
try. Nothing materially different from the
newspaper accounts has reached the gov
ornment. -

An Agrieulsural journal.

1t will be recollected that, at the late
Agricultural State Convention, the project
of establishing an agricultural paper was
recommended, and Col. STEVENS, late Sena-
tor from Mcleod county, requested to be-
come it's editor. The suggestion was q
good one, in all its points. A journal spe.
eially devoted to the farming interests Of
Minnesota has long been needed; and no
gentleman could be selected who could give
greater value to such journal, or more
certainly, insure its success. Col. STEVENS
is practical farmer, and has done as much
as any other man in developing the farming
and stock-raising capabilities of our soil and
climate. he is, withal, graceful, forcible
writer-bis little Glencoe Register, published
on the outskirts Of civilization, having ex-
hibited very high degree of newspaper
talent and tact. We are glad to learn that
the Colonel proposes to act upon the fat
tering suggestion made by the State Con-
vention, and that The Minnesota Farmer
win make it's appearance early this summer.

Congress recently passed law, and it
has since been approved By the President,
extending to Minnesota and Oregon. the
provisions Of An act to enable the State
Of Arkansas and other States tpreclaim the
swamp lands within their limits. BY the
provisions Of the Arkansas act referred to,
now extended TO this State, al the legal
subdivisions in which the greater part ofthe
land is /" wet and unfit for cultivation" is
granted to Minnesota. This would take
every forty in which over twenty acres
were " wet, 60" Those subdivisions, in
which the amount of wet land falls below
this proportion, are excluded from the
grant. The lands are granted for the pur>
pose of aiding the state in draining and re-
claiming the swamp lands therein, and the
acts provide that the proceeds on said
lands, whether from sale or by direct ap-
preparation in kind" shall be applied exclu-
sively, as far as necessary, to the purpose of
retaining said lands by means of the levees
and drains aforesaid. The selection of
the lands is to be made by the
Surveyor General or his deputies, or from
the field notes of the government SUR
veyors, taken in the general surveys.
The bill provides also "that the grant here
by made shall not include any lands which
the Government of the United States may
have reserved, sold or disposed of lin pursu-
ance of any law heretofore enacted) prior to
the confirmation of title to be made under
the authority of the said act"
1t further requires that the selection from
lands already surveyed "shall be made with
in two years from the adjournment of the
Legislature of each States at its next session
after the date of this act, and as to all lands
hereafter to be surveyed within two years
from such adjournment at the next session,
after notice by the Secretary Of the Interior
to the Governor of the State that the sur
veys have been completed and confirmed"
After the selection has been made, the
Secretary of the Interior is instructed to
transmit list of the same to the Governor,
and at the request of the said Governor
the Secretary shall cause patent to be is
sued to the State therefor and on that
patent, the fee simple ofsaid lands shall vest
in the State.

A majority Of the joint committee of the
Mississippi Legislature, to which was re-
ferred the Governors message relating to
the Planters Bank bonds, reported against
the expediency of "agitating the question
OF the payment of these bonds at this session
of the Legislature" on the ground that it
"must result N division of the people OF
the State, and divert their attention from
much more important questions of State
policy now pending and soon to be acted
upon" The minority Of the committee dis
SCENTS from the report of the majority, and
maintains that these bonds are clearly due
by the State, have been too long withheld,
and should now be provided for in manner
satisfactory to the creditors. The original
amount of the bonds was 100000. The
interest amounts to upwards Of $4,000 900
more.

C0sSsspo~dsSes Of he Pioneer and Democrat
ss AANKATo, March %, 1860.
There has been an unusual excitement
pervadiDg our town to-day. Itappears that
the Governor Of Massachusetts has made a
requisition on Minnesota for the arrest of
SAM'L M. FoLsoH, Of Garden City, charged
with perjury, for which bill of Indictment
was lately found by grand jury of Boston.
The crime is alleged to have been commit
ted Six years ago. Mr.. FOLSOM is an early
settler, and an honorable and respected citi-
zen Of this county. He has been engaged
in litigation with E. p EVANS, of Garden
City, for several years, in regard to real
estate property, in that town, and valuable
Touring mill. One suit, having an impor-
tant bearing on the case, was tried last
court and decided 10 Fo1soxs favor.
EVANS is his bitter personal enemy, and for
years has been unceasing in bis efforts to
injure Mr.. F. personally and pecuniarily,
and through the efforts of his friends in
Massachusetts has had FoLsoM indicted as
above stated Gov. BANKS, not aware of
these circumstances, appointed EVANS an
officer to make the requisition and convey
FOLSOM to Boston. Gov. RAMSEY, in com.
pliance with the requisition, issued a war.
rant to the Sheriff for the arrest of FOLSOM.
and commanding his delivery to EVANS.
FOLSOM was arrested at Garden City yester-
day, and EVANS had made arrangements to
convey him across the country to La Crosse,
and had irons to confne his prisoner,
and provisions to feed him, cooked and
stored away in his trunk. EVANS was per.
suaded to change his route, and bring his
prisoner here to consult his attorneys. After
arriving here and the facts becoming known
to our people, feeling of indignation was
awakened, which resulted in public meet
ing, and an unanimous resolution on the
part of our citizens, to prevent Mr.. EVANS
from taking Mr.. FOLSOM out of town. They
are perfectly willing that Mr.. FOLSOM shall
be delivered to the authorities of Massa
chusetts, but not through Mr.. EVANS, who,
as it is alleged, has threatened his life. A
petition is now in circulation, and will be
forwarded to the Governor, praying that
the authority of Mr.. EVANS be revoked and
some other and disinterested party ap.
pointed.
The people are determined to resist Mr.
EVANS authority at all hazards, and it is to
be hoped that Governor RAMSEY will sustain
them. The charge against Mr.. FOLSOM is
believed to be unfounded, and that his in.
dictment and arrest is merely resort of
Mr.. EVANS to get rid of him. Mr.. FOLSOM
will remain here until the Governors reply
is received. Yours, in haste, jew.

" Almighty Mean Men get ONCE on,
Here.0

Somehow or other, we cannot tell exactly
how, this significant passage in letter
written by an observing son in the West, to
his father in the east; required to our mind
yesterday. 1t may have been produced by
hearing that GEORGE PLuNKETr, Esquire,
formerly Of Delaware, afterwards of st. Paul,
more latterly of Memphis, Tennessee, and
recently of Arkansas, has been appointed
United States Collector for the port of
Pembina, at a salary of $1,000 per annum,
in place of JAMES M'FErR1DGE, who now
fills the Office with ability and integrity. If
Mr.. PLUNKETr was on the slate" to re-
ceive an Office in Minnesota, we have reason
to feel thankful that he has been stationed
at Pembina.
