TEac GaIcna JcHcrsOnian.

The editor of the above paper has ac-
ted, ever since the organization of this
Territory, as filth sewer for all the extra
dirt that could not be worked up by the
opponents of honest and upright men
here. He is one of those poor devils,
who have not the tact or talent to gil I'D
the columns of newspaper, without en-
ploying slang drivellcrs, at home and "a
broad. to assist in his venal occupation.
Thus: On the Goth of June, 1850, some
one writes him from St. Paul, abusing,
in the most gross and insulting manner,
Mr.. Parker, the landlord of the Ameri-
can House, and his lady. Sweency's
taste was exactly suited by such epithets
as-we were about to repeat one or two
of them, but cannot pollute our columns
with such obscene blasphemy-and so he
published the letter in his paper of June
18th.
Meantime, since then, he has been pub
fishing the most scurrilous letters, dated
at st. Paul and Watab,-al emanating
from one source, however,-abusivc of
the Governor lies, every sentence of
them-lies too foul even for the tastidious
conscience of the Rice organ here, and
too black for the furniture of hell itself.
But now he is "right about face" so
far as Mr.. Parker of the American House
is co concerned; and he becomes-Oh, how
friendly to Mr.. P. all for the sake ofirump-
ing mp a falsehood against Judge Good
rich ! We had intended not TO notice
this matter, as the Democrats one sided
account fell to the ground here, where
the facts are known; but as the Jcfferso-
man has seen fit to send it ahead, with
an additional story of lies set upon it, we
will merely state, that all the accounts we
have heard, represent Mr.. Parker as the
attacking party, and the Judge acting
merely in self-defcnce. 1t was a private
business difficulty, with which the pub
lie have nothing to do; and would proba-
bly, never have occurred, but for Mr.,
Parker unfortunately lending his ear to
the counsels of evil and corrupt men,
who had an object in estranging him from
some of his best friends.
There is another trait in this Jcf}crso-
MAN editors character which we desire
to expose while we have hold of him
he is cringing, sycophantic hvpocrite.
We saw him at st. Anothony the dav
Gov. Ramsey left for Pembina, where he
met the Governor (whom he had been
Siandering Tor months for the first time;

ask you. We will tell you in few words.
Know you not, that in voting for any
man on the organization ticket, you are
voting for men who are deadly in their
warfare against the principles of the
Wing administration you worked SO hard
to put in power, when a resident Of one
of the States, three years ago? Know you
not, that in voting for Democrats on the
anti-organization ticket, you are voting
for men who, for the present, bury the
Matched on the subject of national politics,
and are willing to render our Wing adj
ministration such support as they con-
sistently Gas Democrats can l.? Know you
not, that in voting for organization Dem
ocrats, you endorse all the vile ISLANDERS
and falsehoods, which Robertson has been
pouring out the past six months, against
Gov. Ramsey, and other Wing officers !?
You believe them to be falsehoods, for on
ly an hour ago, the indignant scowl on
your countenance, plainly told the ''organ'
editor, that to abuse and SANDER Gov
Ramsey, was no way to get your vote !;
and he took another tack And know
you not, that when you vote for Messrs.
Forbes, Murray, Cave, &c., that you vote
for men who, as you, uphold the head of
the Territorial administration, and all
faithful Wing officers,-all good men, in
fact, who are for crushing the hydra of
party strife-working alone for the true
interests and welfare of Minnesota
ting our Indian treaties made and ratified
and pushing her forward to the proud
position Of sovereign State? Then
we can all "crack down" on party lines,
and Ego it, after the old fashion.
Now, friend Smith, if you will so up
and get those brick this afternoon, and
steer clear of all traps Of the "organizers'
as you psss along, you will be very apt
to finish that chimney by dinner time to-
morrow. You have lost half a day al
ready through their selfish interference:
and no good has come of it. But be sure
and go to the polls Tuesday week.

A TRIP TO WILLOW RIVER AND
SALTWATER.

We took 'Srun round" on the Nomi-
nee, last week, as far as Saltwater. Our
first landing below St. Paul, was at Olive
Grove, on the west side of the river,
where Mr.. Baily has trading post
This point is only one mile and a half
from the great water power at the falls
of the Vermilion; has good landing, and
is pretty site for a town. Dakota Land
ing, three miles above, on the same side,
is also good town site, with all the nat
ural advantages. Mcssrs. Sanborn and
CaliG:, of St. Paul, have taken out license
to trade at this point.
We had not been at Willow River pre-
viously for eighteen months and although
we landed there in the night, it was easy
to perceive all we have heard Of the
growth of that village, was not in the
least exaggerated. We found all the boys
on hand, including Col. Bellows, Of the
St. Croix Hotel Saxton, the editor of the
Inquirer; Catlin and Gibson, of the Land
Office, and the rest. Col. Hughes had
gone to the Wing State Convention at
Madison but whether he took that big
squash with him or not, we did not learn.
At Stiilwater-not having been there
for year-we found things much altered.
Many new buildings have been put up,
and the town is keeping gradual pace
with the country around it. A new steam
saw mill is in course Of erection, above
McKusick's mill where we found our
friend Fisher, one Of the Penitentiary
contractors, who politely showed us over
the ground to be occupied by this essen
tial structure. The g outer walls" begin
to make considerable show above the
ground. The enclosure is 2SS feet by
2OO-wall four feet thick. The location
is much better one than we had suppos-
cd-plenty Of good spring water on the
spot, and fine view down the lake.
We are under many obligations to our
friends Of Willow River and Saltwater for
their encouragement of our new enter
prise.

CT Dodd is great at denying facts.
We wonder if he dare deny that a few
weeks since he attempted to drive certain
Indian traders from the Sioux lands, un-
der pretence of being government off,
Ger; or that he has marked hundreds of
trees on the other side of the river, with
his initials, thereby subjecting himself to
a heavy penal action? He government
officer! Why, he could not receive the
office Of dish-washer from the King of
Timbuctoo.

and, at his own request, was introduced to
him. He Sweeney was very sorry, that
he had been induced to publish anything
touching the character and standing OF the
Governor, and would take different
course for the future. His different
course is to attack the Governor and
other officers here, with ten fold more
venom! Let the viper proceed with his
file gnawing!

THE GAME THEY ARE PLAYING.

Our regular Robertson Rice politicians
have become so thin-skinned all at once
SO unlike the cid hard-shcls" we took
them to be, or those whom we have been
in the habit OF operating against in other
places, that we cont know but we may
get bullet through us, or our wcasand
severed. for what we are now about to
indifn A., lie ~ - no is crippled in both
feet, and physically incompetent other
wise to make fighting bully, has no bu-
sincss to be an editor in these ''diggins."
But AZ The risk Of whatever may occur, we
must proceed to " elevate the ancient Ed
ward''--vulgarly speaking, "raise old
Ned further among the ''unterri-
fed"
We will start ii mechanic, or laboring
man from the loN or end of Third street.
He is going up town. He has his labor
to attend to every week day, and goes to
church Oh Suns; therefore, he has no
time to talk poAics, or inquire what is
going on. lie sees, however, that there
is no real party crganization here-that
the Democrats are divided upon the qucs-
ton, and that the Wings, as a body, are
opposed to organizing. He sees, also,
two tickets made out, one composed en-
,irely Of one kind of Democrats, and the
other of Wings and anti-organizers. Well,
as we were saying, this man starts from
the lower end of Third street TO go up
town. He is Wing, by the way, fact
which we came very near forgetting to

i evident from the way your folks have

BRUTAL AND COWARDLY AT
talk

On Saturday last, about one o'clock,
the editor of this paper was assaulted in
the most villainous and cowardly manner,
while quietly walking along Bench street,
in front of the Central House, by Captain
William B. Dodd, the great fugleman of
the bogus Democratic organization. -
The facts are these:
In the last number of our paper, there
were some truths exposed, in relation to
the recent political acts Of this brute, and
a certain fit comrade and political as
sociate of his, which were not much cal
culated to elevate their miserable schemes
of trickery in this community. The facts
were of such a character, that we felt it
our duty to expose them, LET THE coNsE-
QUENCEs BE WHAT THEY MIGHT-a course
we shall ever pursue while in charge of
a public journal. Neither have we ever
shrunk from. standing up, face to face,
with any man, whose Pedagogical schemes
we were compelled to notice, and never
shall.
On Wednesday evening, after our pa
per had been read. as we have reason to
know, by Capt. Dodd, we met him in a
public place, supposing that if he felt
himself in any way agrieved, (and we
had learned that he did feel agrieved, J
he would call us to account at that mo-
ment. In fact, we entered the room
where he was sitting, merely because he
was there. We were entirely alone, and
he was surrounded by his friends
those he calls his friends-in numbers.
We passed out again, close to where he
was sitting, and spoke to him so that he
could not fail to recognize us but he did
not rise from his seat, and we passed
home.
We saw nothing more of him until Sat-
urday forenoon, when we passed within
six feet Of him, at the corner Of third and
Jackson streets. In a few moments
thereafter, we passed him again, in CONVEX
sation with r. R. Nelson, we think, in
front of the office of his compeer, D. A. J.
Baker. He was seen soon after to enter
the office Of Baker, where we haze no
doubt the dastardly scheme Of attack, car
RED out in the afternoon, was arranged!
We saw him again in the course of the
next fifteen minutes, as we passed from
our printing office to Third street, but
cannot say whether he saw us or not
On all the other occasions he certainly
did.
Now, it is perfectly natural, that any
man who had the least idea of expect
ing an attack from another, would be
thrown off his guard, and feel himself Sc
cure, when so many favorable opportuni-
ties had presented themselves to his antap-
onist. Thus it was with us; and we had
no more idea that this british fiend con-
templated striking us when he accosted
us in the afternoon, than we had of the
most impossible occurrence imaginable:
else he, nor no other man of three times
our physical strength, as he is, could
have come within striking distance. He
hailed us from the opposite side Of the
street, with bland, Spanish assassin
like smile upon his ountenance-which
threw us still further off our guard,
crossed over, came close up to us, and
asked question; and while we were in

OUR PRospEcrs-NVe firmly believe
that our whole county ticket will be cleo
ted by handsome majority. and that we
can also elect our entire legislative ticket,
notwithstanding we were beaten in the
District some S7votes at the spring cleo
ton. There has been large increase Of
Democratic voters since that time, while
the opposition has lost very considerable
portion of its strength. Our prospects
are bright and cheering.-Democrat.
els it there We are,'' old fellow? "There
has been large increase Of Democratic
voters since that time," has there? What
time? Why, the 18th of April, to be
sure-thc day we elected Frank Brawlcy
and Lewis Roberts Building Commission
ers, by giving them 81 majority in st.
Paul-the l4th of April, precisely SIX
MONTHS prior 10 The 14th instant, The day
Of our coming election. How many of
this " large increase do you intend bring
ing up to the polls, Tuesday week? We
believc,-we may be mistaken, however
that the law requires six months resi-
dence. If so, it must be your intention
to disregard it, or else your " large in
crease" is unavailable.

CO Over in Washington county, old
Billy Holcombe is putting in the "big
ticks" to come to the Council next win
ter. In one part of the county he is for
the Rice organization-in another, he is
for mixed ticket. But he goes all the
time for the sage of Crescent Hill" for
the "Float" to get him out of the way.
Quite an expert horseman, as well as a
politician, is old Billy. He has an old
grey stallion, which may be seen, these
days, with his master seated in the sad
die, charging from Marine to Point Dou-
glass, and from the Point to Marine, night
and day forcibly reminding one OF
"Death on the pale horse.''
Jim Davis, farmer in the Cottage
Grove neighborhood, is a keen wit as well
as a good Wing. One day last week, old
Billy charged up and down the road, past
where Davis was at work in his field,
two or three times, on the ''keen run. -
At last, suspecting that Davis might
'smoke" his business in that quarter, he
rode up to the fence and inquired if he
could borrow hrashing machine in that
neighborhood.
"Well, Captain" replied Davis, 81
don't know of any about here just now,

14M day Of October, ace viU shop you one
