The Minnesotian. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. Territory) 1851-1852, 1851-12-20
Our Solons Of the Town Council have,


through carelessness of the police,-
tablished a night-wa,ch. Marshal Cashier
is the Dogberry of the concern; and APP
pears TO lave the welfare of the good
people at heart as much as did that wor-
thy, in his day and generation. His in
structions must be about as explicit as
were those Of his =" illustrious predeces-
sor," who gave orders TO bid all rogucs
s. stand in the Princes name," and if
they would not stand, to '.let them 90
their ways, and thank heaven you are rid
of a knave." We suppose, however, our
watch would do wei! enough if they knew
how; but it is evident they do not, by the
way they go rafting about the streets,
and waking people up, by banging their
clubs against houses and fences.
The question Of veracily between M.
Boutwell, and Mr.. Warren, in relation to
the Chippewa removal will be settled by
the facts, that shall have fair play on both
sides. Mr.. Warren is in Benton Co.,
and therefore unable to reply this week
to Mr.. outwe!l.-Democraf.
"The question of veracity'' has alrca-
dy been g settled by the facts" Mr.. Dem
ocrat. We did not suppose you would
dare question the veracity Of a Christian
minister of Mr.. Boutwell's standing; but
it appears you are capable even o.! going
that far to carry your point. We'll, be it
so! You will find ont, ere long, that the
public can discriminate between the char
actcr and standing of Mr.. Boutwell, and
that of WV. Warren, you cannot. We
repeat, tic question is settled by the facs
put forth by Mr.. Boutwell,.
The annual meeting of the Historical
Society will be held during next month.
The officers Of the society will spare no
pains to have the exercises Of the most
interesting character. Lieut.. Simpson,
of the [. S. Typographical Engineers.
will deliver the address, and an essay
from the pen Of DIR. Thos. Foster, will be
read. Now that the society is in the
hands of officers who feel an interest in
It's success, instead of making it an in
strument to trumpet their own acts to the
world, we have no doubt it will move
steadily forward TO the accomplishment
OF It's praiseworthy object. 4
Judge Fuller lecturcd at st. Anthony
on Monday evening last, upon the sub
ject Of education. We have heard his
discourse highly culogised.
The time Of our publication makes
Thursday o. each week our heaviest wri-
ting day, therefore we had not much
time to enjoy the intellectual and physi-
cal good things Of Thanksgiving. L der
Hobart sermon at the Baptist church is
regarded by those who heard it as one Of
the best discources ever delivered in St.
Paul.
The Democrat was not out this week
until some time in the night of Wcdres-
day. The editor now waits until he
hears the sound of the ..mallet and p'an-
err over al Col. Goodhue's, docking up
the inside form of he Pioneer and then he
sncails ont with all the stealthiness of n
wolf that has been proving upon some
>hcep-fold.

The mail which ARRIVED last week was
out sixteen days from Galena, Judging by
the dates. The contractor. Mr.. Burbank.

pedl'ious'y as possible; but the absence

mcnt. We have no mil this week as

One Of the coolest days this week, the
