Watching the !paliiieal elements here in Saint
Paul, for the past fortnight, and witnessing as
much as We hive witnessed, Of hollow hypocrisy
and Wanting, canning ,iemagogueisn and puffy,
windy, hollow, speeches, mere frolh and Wanting
defamation Of furious sounds, signifying nothing
we have COME 10 tho conclusion that every body
il afraid Of every body; and that the reason why
men do not express more thoughts and ideas in
speeches, is for the want Of manly independence,
fear Of unpopularhy. With all our protested
freedom Of speech, cur people actually seem TO
be under an iron despoism. There has been
lately put in motion, in II. Paul, patent ma
chine, party mint TO which every Democrat
eens to be expected TO carry ali that he u,ters.
To be eoiaeL Edicis Of invisible origin, go forth,
threats Of political osiracism altered and men
aces TO those who refuse to bow the knee to the
new molten calf, which utterly abhorrent to
every feeling of manly Independence, and against
which, every inaa. who is not sneaking office
seeker, feels a natural resentment and abho,rence
Noss IL Democracy is valuable Cor anything in
the world, it is for the freedom il to the
masses, 10 speak and write aud nc: according to
real convictions Of reason aud justice; aud that
party is really the most democratic, which admits
Of ;ae ireest liberty Of discussion, the widest diff
fefences Of opnivn, and which never attempts to
lay the iron yoke of dictation, upon the neck Of
mankind. There is despotisn Calling than
The dieiation Of wealth of official Influence; and
that is the deSpoiism Of the unseen agency Of a
party, wherever it exists, that exercises sort of
Star Chamber control over mems opinions. When
ever the majority Of any party yield themselves
up TO this sort Of coalroi, there is no longer the
Ieas, manliness or freedom belonging TO it, The
spirit speak of, is jacobincaI-not democrat
ic--and it IS the same, which exerc'cd in revolu-
iionary times, erccts the guil!ofine. II really
places every member Of the party. at the mercy
Of the II bespierre, who directs the engine.
Hitherto, no attempt has been made in this Ter
riiory to gag men and force opinions down their
threats, which they are unwilling TO swallow. The
time has nor come, when such an atieinp, is be-
ing made. We conjure every free man in Min
nesota, 10 resis, this sort Of dsspotis, now fear
lessy and resolutcy, before that internal machine
is in operation, which banishes the government bv
the people and substitutes FOR government, of the
people, government by handful Of artfal dema-
gogues. fla system can be put in operation here,
such as certain men are determined upon. a reign,
Of terror dawns upon Minnesota; aud in Mime

all Glen in this Territory, who love true democra-
ey, to, resist all such tyranny, whatever name it
may be cioaked under.

Editor of The Pioneer, Sir:

Editor Of the Pioneer, Sir:
Perhaps your readers would like ia
know what is taking place in Washing
ton, for the interest Of your Territory
On the 18th the House passed the Riv-
er and Harbor Bill, whereby you will
receive five thousand dollars, for a sur
vey Of the Mississippi river above the
Falls of St. Anthony. Your Delegate
has used all the means in his power to
get the military reserve near Fort Smell.
ing reduced; bill has passed the Sen
ate granting pre- -emption right to claim
ants; the government objects to this,
they want it sold to the highest bidder,
without regard to claims of any kind
whatever. This meets my views on the
question. J. H. Stevens, Col Wilcox,
Of your Territory and myself had an in
terview with the Secretary of War on
the subject, recently. He declined
giving assent to the reduction of the re-
serve because Gen. Mason and Major
Woods had reported against it; altho'
he was himself Of the opinion that il
might be reduced as well as not. Mr..
Stevens stated that the people of Min
nesota wished to have it reduced in
some way. even if claims were not re-
spected. For one, he (Mr. S. was
willing to do anything in order to get
the reserve off. Thus matters stand on
that subject at present.
Yesterday in company with other gen
tlemen from Minnesota, / visited the
Secretary Of State, on the subject Of ap-
pointing Marshal for your Territory
We were informed that the appointment
would be soon made, and the Office Civ
en- to citizen of Minnesota.
The Secretary informed us that char
ges had been sent in to the department
impeaching the character Of one Of your
Judges, and also strong testimony in his
favor. 1t was frst.supposcd the Presi-
dent had not the power to remove ju-
dicial officer in a territory; but upon
examination Of the question he was sat
isfied the President had that power, but
that it would never be used by his rec
ommeudation, except in case Of great
neglect of duty. So the probability is,
the aforesaid judicial officer will retain
his place some time longer, and mis-
chief makers (if you have any absent
from your Territory will 60 home as
wise as they came away.
Yours with respect.
