"KEEP YOUR SHIRT oN."-The Rice
editor has got his " dander riz' this week,
and no mistake. Jehu! but he gives it to us
and neighbor Atwatcr. He says almost
every thing, except what he don't say,
and this he expects to say sometime be-
fore the election. In his leader, he
quotes from Henry Jackson's burlesque
message 10 the Third House, last winter,
and remarks of us at the end Of the quo
tation as follows:
"What will this Guerrilla say now ?
Will he attempt to lie out of the awkward
position into which his base treachery, in
gratitude and hypocrisy have plunged
him 20
We don't know what he means by the
" awkward position;'' but we do know
that at least one paragraph, if not the
whole, of that part of the message quo
ted, was ariffen by R. R. Nelson, who, at
that time was almost daily receiving the
Inequalities of the Governor and his fam
lily; while so far as regards ourself, it is
well known there was misunderstand-
ing between us and the Governor at the
time, which very readily accounts for
whatever part we took in organizing the
Third House. Our neighbor should rec
ollect that he is telling the Governor and
the DCODle no secret whom ha sno,I-s -.
our connection with that illustrious body
Is it not notorious that we were speaker:
But we can't see for our life, and W,
don't believe any one else can, the 'awk-
ward position in which we are placed.
Men have differences every day, III
world over, and settle them the next
Because we were little " at outs with
the Governor last January, does it follow
we must keep out with him the remain
der of our days? BY no means. v.
fail then TO see the awkward position.

A5 The Democrat "rejoiceth with ex-
cecdins great joy" that Captain Dodd
knocked us down the other day. 1t says
we will find out "that the Captain can
strike as well as blow The Captain
and his editor, in flowing about this af-
fair, are precisely similar to the stout,
athletic boy Of eighteen, in Pennsylvania.
who being derided for whipping his grand
father, of eighty, replied that he could
have whipped him if he had been twice
as old! So we suppose Captain Dodd
could have whipped us if we had been
twice as lame, and twice as destitute Of
physical strength!

DEMOCRATIC PLATFoRM.-The great
National and Territorial Democratic prin-
ciples involved in this campaign are: The
repeal Of the Apportionment law, and the
overthrow of a certain mercantile firm,
located in St. Louis, Missouri This is de-
fined as the great ''issue" by Robertson,
Norris, Holcombe, and other sages of the
opposition. We have it now, beyond cavil,
and know exactly what we are to meet.
Wonder if they will not now add to it the
overthrow Of Sam Sergent's grocery store,
because he would not accept the nominal
ton on their ticket for County Treasurer,
and is now running on ours, in opposition!
CT Without wishing to disparage the
claim of any of the other candidates on our
ticket, we cannot refrain from adverting to
the proud position our candidates for the
Council in the St. Paul and Little Canada
district occupy in this community. Mel
Their of them sought the place, yet both
were nominated by the people by large
majorities. Mr.. Forbes may consider this
a full endorsement Of his course in the
Council the last two years; and Mr.. Far
rington guaranty of what the people know
he will do when he gets there. These
gentlemen are two of our most respecta-
bic merchants and business men; and what
is more, they have worked their way up
to their present position by their own ex-
ertions. They are self-made men-men
of the people. Neither Of them had a
aceolthy and Influential Judge, in .New
York, for a father, 10 gire them college
education, and then cram their pockets Nth
money, and send them ont among the Vest
ern "greenhorns" to seek their political
fortunes By the "gif of their gcb," and the
free use of their cash L!

GLcn1ous MEEr1Nc.-The people had
a triumphant gathering at Mazourka Hall
last evening, to ratify their ticket. The
room was crowded. Messrs. Babcock.
Phillips, Murray, Wilkinson, Noah, Sci
by and others made excellent and peril
nent speeches, showing up the organi
zers" in their true light. The meeting
adjourned with nine cheers for the ticket
and three groans for Capt. Dodd.

Cy John P. Owens statement about
''mileage;'' and that we "ofered" Sam Ser
gent, the office of County Treasurer, are
unmitigated falsehoods, .as he knew when
he published them.-Democrat
The mileage matter was notorious in
Ohio when we left there; and what we
meant by your offering Sam the Treasu-
rer's office was that your Convention die
it through you. But you don't deny what
Sam told you to do with it!

ton heretofore referred 10 them, in which they
that the Government cannot absolve itself from the
contract with Dakin and Moody, Gilbert and &c.
COR, for the construction of floating dock, basin,
and railway at San Francisco. The work il under
taken for 81 ,450 900. The advantages of it are
fully set forth; and the report concludes with
olution, that the House approves of the course Of
the last session, and for further delay
in the prosecution of the work.
Mr.. S. did not intend to make any remarks,
and moved the previous question
Mr.. JONES moved to lay the report on the table.
The question was taken and decided in the mega

The House refused to second the demand for the
previous question.
MIR. TOOMBS proceeded TO call the attention of
the House TO the reasons why the resolution ought
not to pass. The report seemed 10 approve Of the
course of the Secretary Of the Navy when that
officer says that dock for all necessary purposes
can be constructed for $780, 900. He knew that
grave charges are made affecting persons to this
Transaction, and that the House ought in Justice
to itscl to suspend action until they can be looked
into. In conclusion, he moved that the report BIO
referred to the Committee Of the Whole on the
state Of the Union.
Mr.. wELLBoRN. as in reply to a remark of the
gentleman, said that he had voted against laying
the resolution on the table, under the impression
that there a contract between the Secretary OF

under similar misapprehension with others.
