heavily laden with fruits for the children,

some very beautiful pieces quite prettlly,

delighted the large audience present. The

STE VEINS COUNTY AGAIN.

The st. Paul Dispatch OF March 29th,
says:
The immigration fever RACES alorg the line
of the ST. Paul and Pacific, and for some time
past large numbers Of persons from the east.
as well as from the southern and central pOr-
rions OF the state, have gone up the road
with the view of settling upon lands adjacent
to the railroad and situated in Swift and Stew
ems counties.
On Thursday last five gentlemen from Penn
sylvanla, and the next day as many from New
hampshire, Went up the road to settle in the
Father Ireland colony, a portion Of them TAX
ing their families along with the view OF max
ing their selections and settling down imme-
dlateiy, while others intend, after fixing upon
their locations, to return for their families
Yesterday delegation Of five parties from
Massachusetts lett this city on the same Grand
and this .nosninS found three delegations from
different parts Of the state and consisting Of
over thirty persons on their way up the road
for the purpose OF finding their future homes in
the counties named above.
Among the delegations named was one from
the old and settled county Of Goodhue, and
which consisted of about twenty-five persons.
many OF whom are well known substantial
farmers. Among those who have preceded
them from Goodhue county may be mentioned
Messrs. Perkins, Heath and Lindsey. all OF
whom are we'll known in Red W ing, and who
some time ago sold their farms there and re-
moved to Stevens county. The friends of these
| gentlemen in the delegation above referred to
are en- route to Morris, Stevens county, from
which, u starting point they intend looking
over the country and finally deciding upon d
settlement. They. are but the avant-c curriers'
| Of still larger numbers who are bent on making
their homes ta- to the westward, and in a sec
ton which they confidently believe vii. ul.i-
mately be the most thriving and prosperous
| part of the state.
| Major Ben Thompson, the chief agent OF
Bishop Ireland iii his colonization scheme, has
his headquarters in the room of the Chief In
gineer 1t the st. Paul and Pacific building. and
| has every morning regular seance lasting
from two to three hours, with parties wishing
to imIngrate to the region named and who
wish information in respect tn the country, and
on other matters connected with the colony
Since the colony was naugnrated thous-
and at least, able bodied and intelligent men
have visited that section and made tkeir homes
there Enough others, it is said. have signi-
fed their intention Of settling there to take up
all or nearv all the desirable railroad lana III
that neglhorhood.
The colony was formed forsthe benefit of
eastern parties, and in conformity with that
idea. NInnesotians are exclude from the i'm
mediate precincts Of the colony lands and arr
forced to 90 six miles from the railroad track
to take up their lands. This however, does
no. affect the tide o; immigration.

the heart to overturn. They find they can do
nothing unless they put their hands to turn
the particular cranks which are prepared for
them: hut if they submit to accept these pred
est ined functions, they become the servants Of
taskmaskers for those characters they have no
respect, and whose mastery they despise. The
political machinery Of the Union may almost
be said to have BEEN DEVISED TO REDUCE THE
MASSES OF THE PEOPLE TO IMPOTENCE, and to
give power to those whe have learnt the trick
Of manipulating it SO as to make money by its
use. We cannot wonder that there should be
men who ask whether the forms of the Con-
stitution were planned for the well G verning
Of the people or for the reward Of professional
politicians and who retire altogether from the
exercise of functions which impose sense Of
responsibility without power. The abstention
Of citizens in the United States from public
duties cannot be regarded as surprising. and
can scarcely be CONDEMNED, when we under
stand the powerlessness OF the individual
citizen in the midst Of the political combina-
tons which surround him. Personal indie
pendence is crushed cut, and, it there were not
4 free literature to check and modify the re-
pressiyeness of Party machinery, political life
would be reduced to stagnation.
There is world OF truth in this. Party
slavery is one Of the most threatening Of
the dangers which now surround tree
institutions. What we want is an out
crop Of individual judgment.
