THE MINNESOTA PIONEER
ST. 1lanl, nlinnesotG,
Wednesday Morning, Nov. IS. lsi9.
The Election.

The election is over and we are con-
tent with the result; believing fully IN
in the doctrine, that the sovereign peo-
pie have right to do as they please.
Although we have democratic majority
in Minnesota, it is plain that many Demo-
Gratis were opposed to a party division in
this election. Our Canadian citizens,
who are Democrats nearly to man, did
not choose TO vote upon party grounds.
As they have never yet joined in the pri-
mary organization of the party, they
were under no particular party obliga-
tons. The same remark will apply to
several prominent men amongst us, who
are sound Democrats. Mr.. Louis Ro-
berts, Mr.. Finley, Mr.. Steele, the Hon.
VIM. III. Forbes and the Hon. David
Olmsted of the Council, were opposed
to party organization for this election
the two who are members of the Coun-
Gil, were opposed for the reason, that
they were elected by the vote of both
parties and that their term of Office is
yet unexpired and the Hon. Mr. Sibley,
who stands in the same relation to his
constituents, being elected without dis
tinction of party, did not feel at liberty
VIC presume, to be active in the organi-
cation Of the Democratic party here for
a mere county and township election,
although he has distinctly avowed HIM
self Democrat and not Wing, in his
principles. All these men have done
right in maintaining their pledges to the
people and in acting according to their
Judgment Of what was best; and SO have
those unplcdgcd Democrats who thought
that now was the proper time to make at
least beginning in the organization of
the party. Another reason, that has
doubtless operated to some extent to de-
feat the party, is the fact, that the va
rIous districts were not represented in
Convention by Delegates, duly appor-
toned to each part of the county, meet
ing together early, to harmonic the
whole party, by selecting ticket which
would be generally acceptable to the
party These causes Of our seeming
defeat, viii all be cured in due time, and
the unterrihed Democracy of Minnesota,
will gloriously triumph.

Fort Smelling.

We learn that every thing is lively IL
that miniature world There are, per
haps, more goods sold AT the Fort, thar
in any other place that seems so seques-
tered. No doubt one reason for this, is
that the greatest variety of merchandise
is there to be found. A customer the
other day at the suffers store, who
thought he would enquire for an article
which they could not furnish him with
asked for half dozen pairs of geese

The assertion of the Chronicle, that
the Pioneer has made any attack what

Governor has suffered at our hands. was
by our writing his name in the same sem
tence with that of G. K. Smith. As
