This may be all true enough, what the

Annex Minnesota to this Country.

| From Fort Gerry Nor Wester. esrF-Trr-a
There are many who find an argument
for our eventual annexation to the States,
in the fact that the greatest part of the Red
River is in Minnesota. We are told that
as the Americans have the greatest portion
of the river, they will intimately have it
all. Has it ever occurred to any, that the
tact OF our having considerable share of
this Red River, should make US look for.
ward to time when we will have the
whole f? This is the view of some, and it
suggests quite new species of annexation.
A writer in CoIburm's Monthly (Londom)
magazine offers some rather important sug-
gestlons in regard to rectifying the border
line between Canada and the United States,
in the event of the latter forcing England
into war:

esta bllsh the original and legitimate line of
demarkaton of British Columbia it would be
advisable to include within that territory not
all the lands formerly attached to it, but the
whole valley of the Columbia river and its af-
huents.
The writer also advocates the annexa-
ton of the Upper Red River to British
America. Nothing" be says, can be
more acsurd than straight line-an aTb-

4" A Critic Criticised,1

is the heading OF an article in the Saint
Paul Press, OF the Isl, by "Tweedledee,"
critlcising our correspondent, "W.'s notice
OF the Comm ssioner OF Statistics Report.
1t is evident the writer is profoundly im-
pressed with the beauty and chastity of the
Whee?Ockian style Of composition and be-
lieves, as matter of course, that every
writer who doesn't initiate it, lousy igno-
ramus; possibly he's right about it. w.
may be ignorant OF his mother tongue and
of course neglected to have copy of Web
ster's Unabridged Pictorial by bis side
while writing, from which to select the
most pOnderOus words to convey the small
est ideas. But then "W." is capable of
taking care of bis own lice and English,
which we presume is more than " Tweedle-
dee' can do, and we shall leave that matter
to himself, briefly noticing paragraph part
quotation from Wheelock, and part COM
ment from "W.," with Tweedledee's
opinion thrown in.
"W." says, "Opening at page 80, we end
that lucid paragraph, TO the contact of its
north eastern summit with its warm and
humid southern exposure, we owe the afflu-
ence of its summer rains.'" "W." says,
Think a moment of the absurdity of
bringing in contact a north eastern summit
with southern exposure, saying nothing
about the improper use of the word afflu.
ence, which means an abundance of worldly
goods" Whereupon Tweedledee says,
1t would be difficult to surpass the STU
pidity of this comment" We will give
that sentence just as we find it in the
Commissioners Report:
To the contact of its cold northeastern
summit with its warm and humid southern eX-
pOsure, and the eXhaatiOns of the countless
lakes which cover the broad slope of the water
shed, We owe the afluence of the summer
rains.
Now it the readers of the critics criti-
cism can satisfy themselves that the cold
northeastern slope of water shed has warm
southern exposure, they must of course come
to the conclusion that Wheelock is genius
and wv" a fool; but that is not what we
started out to speak of. The learned
''rweedledee" has enlightened US as to the
object of the publication of the book in
question and the first object of its author
He informs US that the first great object of
the author was to get up report which
should be model of chaste and elegant
composition. How we'll the author has
succeeded in this matter, his first object, we
will cot undertake to say; we have not had
time to analyze and investigate the mean.
ing OF all the ponderous words But We
must say had the Bible been given to man
in as ambiguous or pompous language as
Wheelock'S report, the Lord, we think,
would have had to extend the probationary
period of mankind on earth, considerably
beyond "tbreescore years and tep," or mil
lions would have been innocently id

for want OF necessary time to learn the true
