RED RIVER.
Political Complications -Uneasiness
and Astonishment.


NEW YORK, November l9.-The
HerdItps special, dated Toronto, No
vember 18th, says considerable aston
ishment and uneaSincSs Was caused
about The Red river trouble by an ar
ticle in the Montreal NeicS, which
SAYS: ave had private information
last night, the purport OF which We
make known. When Mr.. McDOugall
appeared at Red river, in his official
capacity, serious trouble would super
vene if he rightly or wrongly made
himself obnoxious to the Indians.
They regarded him as dcspOiling them
of their lands; they said that Sir
Francis Head, in the name OF her
Majesty, gave to them the lands as
their exclusive and unchangable prop
erty, while grass grew or wafer ran,
and that Mr.. McQougall, in utter
scOrn of that gift. ordered the white
Commissioner of Crown Lands to sur
vey some portions OF the island.
While they aggraVate alleged out
RACES by inputing 10 him that he dis
possessed them to enrich his cOnneC-
lions and relatives, we tell the Ottawa
Government that ii made one mistake
when it named Mr.. McDougall for
Governor. Let it not perpetuate that
blunder by retaining him at the
Northwest Recall him, and no troops,
except as a last and desperate alterna-
tive, will be sent there. There are
many gentlemen there of Indian
blood, and they are the men the Gov
ernment should consult till colOniza-

Radical party in the last election. The
Impeachment of Judge Frazier is an
other item In the expenditures for po-
litical purposes. II was to get that
fearless, ineOrruptible patriot out OF
the way, that Radiealism might run
riot I'm its infamy, that $50, 900 Of the
peoples taxes was thrown away. An
other item which was purely FOR the
benefit of Radical place-hunters,
Is the Sj6,932 paid TO the COM
missioners of claims against the
United States, for there is not even a
prObahility that any of these claims
will ever be paid. In the items we have
emu merated there is an unnecessary
and useless expenditure of fully ST.
25O. 900, which has been incurred for
no other purpose than to subserve the
political interests of the Radical par
tv. Does the reader wonder now that
the treasury is empty and that the
State is on the verge Of bankruptcy?
The financial history of every year
under Radical rule shows that we
have been going from bad TO worse.
With q tax assessment five-fold great
er than that of 1860, when the people
were prosperous and money plenty,
the Radicals not only failed to pay
the July interest on the State debt,
but left nothing in the treasury or TO
collect 10 pay the January interest.
In no other period of the States his
tory could such reckless squandering
Of the peoples money have been car
rie,l ON with the impunity il has been
done since the reorganization of the
State Government. Had the Legisla-
ture and State officials at any period
before the war shown such an utter
disregard Of the interests committed
To their charge, an Indignant and out
ragged people would hage hurled them
from power without waiting the form
of au election.

BEECHER.
His Text for a Thanksgiving S6FmOn

NEW YOEE, Nov. l9.-Beecher, in
his sermon yesterday, referred to the
late rebellion and said its tailqre
ought not to give us notion thai
this nation is undoubtedly secure from
disruption. Few know how near the
T6halliOn came to proving a success.
II was IN attempt that was founded
upon bad grounds, upon that which
was odiOus to the moral sense of the
world. But should the Pacific State
i'm other generations without slavery
a vile curse interfering, undertake the
separation upon strong commercial
political and economical grounds, the
Issue would probably be very difi6r.
eut. Our isfe success must not lead
Us TO suppose that 40 other attempts
woGld be made ii the Southern States,
temporarily exhausted, should renew
the struggle pp grounds of political
policy and economy, The result could
not be fOretOld; and such was The eX-
tent of the country that in the future
when the respective parts become
pOpuIous and wealthy, separation
tGgig not be- stayed if the interests lay
in separation. National unity was
secured only Wi,esI Il was TO the inter
est of each section that there should
be such unity.
