Donation Party.

We attended a donation party given on
the 10th to Elder Inman, formerly Of St..
Cloud, at the residence of deacon Damn,
on Maine Prairie. The house was COM
plete jam and eating was the order of ex-
ercises. The tables were loaded with
substantials and delicacies III wasteful pro-
fusion. A more intelligent and agreeable
gathering of people we have never met.
Women who would grace any circle, men
Of extensive travel and observation, of
education and refinement. The evening
passed off in delightful confusion Of
tongues, when the exercises were closed
by short addresses from s. MILLER ESQ.
and Rev. INMAN.
This settlement is rapidly increasing in
in wealth and Importance. One thing we
specially noticed, i. c., the tasteful, suita-
bic dresses of the ladies. St.. Cloud al
ready assumes metropolitan airs toward
country folks, and our ladies are troubled
with corresponding dressincss. Great
stress is laid upon headdresses; but very
few of the ladies out there had any thing
on their head except their hair Or some
thing We did not notice; something which
did not keep dangling and auttering and
keeping up great idea Of fight and fuss.
One young lady, who would be a belle
anywhere, had her black hair brushed
back smooth and glossy as satin and not
anything to break the outline other finely
formed Grecian head.
Many of our old friends from Fair Ha-
ven were present; all enjoyed the evening
very much. Our party returned home at
half past two in the morning, the mercu-
ry about 100 below zero after sleigh ride
of 30 miles out and in and all we'll next
morning.
The donation was very liberal but
we did not learn the amount and Mr.. and
Mrs INMAN have reason to feel highly
gratiicd with the appreciation of their
neighbors. .:.

No Speaker.


The House of Representatives is not yet
organized, and it appears as if it never will
be. Several. Democratic members have
signed a.plcdge tofusc every possible means
to prevent the adoption of the plurality
rule; and by this alone is there any hope
of clecting Speaker
Strange as it may appear the House can
not be organized so long as, ever so small
minority are opposed; for the Clerk is
In the interest of the disorganizers and
rules every motion in order which is of.
fered to prevent vote on that question:
1t has been ascertained that majority of
tue members are willing that the man who
shall get the most votes shall be Speaker;
e, to adopt the plurality rule; but the
minority will not permits vote to be taken.
They shout questions of order; AID the
Clerk rules everything in order, except a
vote on the plurality rule How men of
sense can adhere to party which is thus
openly arraigned against the most vital
principle of our Government, viz: that the
majority shall rule, is more than We can un-
derstand. There, the Shareholders stand
and proclaim: deadly hostility to the very
soul of the Constitution while charging
Republi cans with treason, and Northern
Democrats sustain them. 4'he Republi-
cans have never refused to submit to the
will OF the majority on any and every
question; but National Democrats have
deliberately planted themselves on the side
OF anarchy, to resist. every constitutional
measure for wrestling from them the loaves
and fishes of office. If you give them all
the offices, they will condesoend to stay in
the Union; but fail to elect them to every
place 0. honor and emolument; and they
are ready to blow up the Union and every
thing else. We cannot understand how
Northern white men can bring themselves
to endure such cracking of the drivers
whip without making said drivers we'll ac-
quaintcd with the weight of freeman's
fist. Sparing them this the votes ought
to come down very heavily. -:
P.S. Since the above was in type news
has come that Mr.. Sherman has withdrawn.
Gov. Pennington has been nominated in
his place, and elected by four majority

Virginia Lands.

For some years there has been rather Il
Juror in the East about buying Virginia
dead Lands and bringing them to life by
Free Labor. Old lands could be had there
for twelve cents per acre, and many emf
grants have been diverted from tue new
lands Of the Yves sern States by Virginia
land. We always knew it to be danger
GUS experiment, and it is working badly.
Everywhere these Free labor emigrants
are being driven out and robbed of the
money invested; and all the fruits Of years
Of toll, which the Chivalry do not hest
tate to appropriate to their own. use. It
is only necessary that a man employs free
labor to render him an object Of suspicion,
when it is easy to find sufficient evidence
to demand his Punishment .' - ~ ~

The Homestead.

Let settlers not forget that G. G. AN
DREws who made pretence Of instruct.
ing our representatives in Congress to
vote for Homestead Law, has since that
strenous]y opposed the extension Of that
law to present settlers
When committee of our State Senate
were debating petition to Congress ask
ing the passage of a Homestead Law, he
urged that they should expressly ask that
the benfts of such law be confined to such
persons as may hearafter settle on public
lands, thus cutting off hundreds Of his own
constituents from the only hope Of being
able to retain the homes they have made
at great labor and much sacrifice How
can Mr.. ANDREWS ever face the people
he has so outraged. If there is any class
of people who need Homestead
Law, it is those who have settled land
three Or four years ago-have spent their
every dollar and years of toll in improve
ments, have struggled with grasshoppers,
and threatened famine, and want Of seed,
and high interest on debts contracted for
the necessaries of life; and to cut them
off from the benefits offered those who have
not toiled through::those dark years; but
who nay come to enjoy our Frightening
prospects, is plan which never would
have entered the head Of any one but a
Moccasin politician. No man would thus
dare insult and betray the bone and sinew
Of his constituency, tbut one who has plede
ed fidelity to party which has resolved tc
treat all working men as slaves The
democratic party is SO ruled and governed
by the will of the shareholders that it is
impossible man can retain a standing
in it and be true to the interests O.
free labor. Mr.. ANDREWS is by
nature and education an aristocrat
but he is not cruel; and it must be an UNI
pleasant task for him to take stanc
against the vital interests Of the men WIN
have elected and trusted him. The Slave
drivers are determined that no Home
stead law shall be passed. They own ane
rule the democratic party; Mr.. ANDREWS
is trying to please them without opposin!
the working men on whose votes lie de
ponds for office, and he will find it hare

WASHINGTON, Juny. 21st, 1860.
Mrs. JANE G.. SwIssnELM,


Dear Madam: * X = The Slavery
Democracy are very abusive and insulting
towards the Republican Party and it's leading
men, and they grasp with avidity any thing
which they may use to justify their black
guardism in Congress. 1t is we'll known and
felt here by all parties, that the course of
these Ruffians is damaging the Democratic
party North, badly; and is, in correspon-
ding degree augmenting ours. It is, there
fore, the policy of the Party here, to give the
Disunionists rope and let them hang them
selves.
Never were there truer and better men than
compose this Republican Congress. There
is no backing out, nor do they "falter and
HESITATE but stand together as one man
always voting, and never voting wrong
Minnesota may we'll be proud of her Repre-
sentatives in the House. They are regarded
by all our friends; here as true men, and as
possessing oil the backbone required by the
times Our friends are highly pleased at the
result Of our late election, and seem rejoiced
that we selected such staunch men as ALDR1cTI
and WINDOW to represent our interests in the
great National s'Bear garden" and there, as
Of old, to fight the beasts at Ephesus No
Speaker yeti is in doubt. There will be
no backing down by the Republicans: They
are resolved to stick until March 4th, 1861,
rather than to yield. Yours truly, -.
