The Minnesota pioneer. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. Territory) 1849-1855, 1851-10-02

HoPs are as Indigenous 10 Minnesota as meas,
being found wild. in abundance and perfection.
Mr. Holland, painter, has Just brought into our
office specimen Of hops, Cultivated in his gar
den, Of prodigious growth
CANDIDATES, who are slightly lame, will do
well to supply themselves with crutches. Canes
are getting TOO common.
The Democrat complains Of the Pioneers
"braying," last week. 1t is true we did bray
the Democrat in (fresh lime) mortar. The re-
suit seems only TO verify the proverb, ''Though
thou brayest fool in mortar, his folly will not
depart out Of him.
Our application Of caus,c, last week, to the
bogus elephant, SENS to have started the hair.
Little Jack Morgan has slipped down over the
tail Of the animal with the cruPper in his hands,
bruisng the bridge Of his nose by the fall, within
less than inches Of each eye. The whole skin
will soon slough off of the elephant.
Our neighbor is very undgnified and dscour-
teous, 1--WE do not say cansiic and severe, for TO
wards the editor Of the St. Anthony Express.
Now we have met the editor Of the Express, as
we have also often, the editor Of the Democrat;
and have always received from them and extend
ed to them, the courtesies due from one gentle
man to another; and it is certainly beneath the
dignity Of our high profession to stand in the gut
ter and defile each other with vile personal
epithets. A newspaper, should be an imperson
alhy-the name Of the editor, is sort of private
popeny-it belongs as well 10 his family as to
himself: and ought not be drawn into newspaper
combats There is enough of bitterness and ha-
tired in party conflicts, without allowing that Bit
terness TO mingle with and poison social rela-
tons. How soon shall we all alike, pass through
the valley of the shadow of death, looking back
with anguish and remorse, upon those hours of
life, which We have devoted to fierce malignity
and bitterness and hatred and personal revenge!
C.P. V. LULL.-This gentleman announces
his name an independent candidate for Sheriff.
We regret that he ha. done 50. We expected
better things Of man Of his good sense; and es-
Convention met, that if MIR. Northrop of st. An
,hony nominated, he, Mr.. Lull, would not
stand in his way. Our friends after that, felt IL,
perfect liberty to crafty the wishes of ST. Antho-
ny, by electiug for sheriff, any good man there,
whom they might select. Mr.. Norihrop was Sc
lected; and we have no hesitation in saying, will
receive, every other candidate nominated on
our side, will receive, the undivided support of
all who oppose the Winnebago Fur Company
ganization. Mr.. Lnll is badly adviscd and we
hope, will consider better Of it and decline; and
that he will aid in common cause, for the com
mon good and thus deserve and retain the conf
dence of his friends.
Mass MEETING At MAzoURKA HAIL
The people assembled in their might, last Tues
day evening, and ratified our former nominations;
several excellent speeches were made. The
meeting was large, harmonious and enthusiastic,
being assembled together with one accord in one
pace.
1t is not true, that either Ames or Trask tried,
or that either Of them would consent, although
both were urged TO consent to be nominated last
Friday, for the floating Council!orship.
The Organ Of the Wilnebago Fur Company,
is particularly bitter upon the editor Of the Mime
so,ian. IL is gratifying that the Winnebago Fur
| Company organ has now found foe worthy Of
his gliitering steel. What sparks Of wit, will
fash from the conflict Of these high tempered
blades
Our neighbor says the Pioneer evil fight for
any cause that will pay best" 1t is pretty sure
that the Democrat does not, uiN not.
The Democrat is awful on gucrillas. Every
other word he fishes GU, Of his nks,and is 'guerii-
la.''
1t is due to our neighbor the Democrat, to say,
that i, denies the truth of the quotation made by
US in another column, from the Express, purport-
ing 10 detail the substance Of IA conversation be-
tween the editOis Of the Express and the Demo-
crat.
