1J. To our friends in Dakota We desire
to say that We shall always feel deep
interest in all that affects the prosperity Of
that Territory; our geographical position
is such that We must in the nature of
things almost sustain the relation of one
people. There are multitudes of our old
friends there who have labored with US
here in days Of yore-their change Of po-
sition has not lessoned our regard tor them
we desire most earnestly their success
Social and commercial intercourse must
necessarily continue between US, we hope
with pleasure and profit to both parties.
Gu: wants and interests are identical,
what effects one must the other, either for
good or evil. We hope therefore, to CO
operate with all parties in the promotion
Of whatever may tend to advance the geu
eral welfare of the good people Of that
Territory, and shall always endeavor to
end room ia our columns for communica.
tions written ia proper spirit, aud with
. view to the end above indicated but
with the mere local questions, aud personal
controversies that may exist we wish most
emphatical'y TO assert that We have moth.
ing to do. We believe in the DouGLAs
doctrine that the people Of Territory
are quite competent to attend to their own
local affairs, and We know that those of
Dakota are fully up to the ordinary stand.

settle your LEGAL questions as to you may
seem good, and depend upon our assist.

In oil legitimate political contests We shall
OF course feel that we are in the line of
duty it we can aid those who represent
the democracy whether they be in Dakota,
New York, or Louisiana.

gg@On the 18th OF December, the Hon
Charles Sumner of Mass, presented to the
Senate the petition of j. R. johnson and
others, citizens of the town of Topsham, Yer
mont, in which they earnestly call upon
Congress to Immediately repeal the fugitive
slave law of 1850; and they assign tour rea-
sons; among which it is alleged-that the
continuance of this statute on the statute
book of the nation any longer is without the
shadow of excuse, since the great body of
those for whose supposed benefit it was en-
acted are now in open rebellion against the
Government; and further, because the law
is inherently cruel and unjust, and in direct
violation of the Divine law which expressly
declares Thou shalt not deliver unto his
master the servant that has escaped from his
master unto thee" On his motion the peti-
ton was referred to the committee on the
Judiciary.
On the same day the Hon. Justin S. Nor
rill presented to the House OF Representatives
the petition OF A. B. Reed, Ira Ormsby, and
others, citizens of Dummerstown, for the
total abolition of slavery.
