The Columbus Journal of Wednesday last, in
noticing the arrival of Delegates from various parts
of ONO to attend the State Convention, says:

will do his, duty, and that thousands who have
hitherto voted with our opponents will give
hearty support to the gallant old hero, Gen. ScoTT"
The Louisville Journal Of the 10Th instant SAYS
GA prominent and exceedingly well-informed
politician of Indiana called upon us yesterday to
express his full conviction that Indiana viii 90 for
SCoTT. He gave such reasons for his opinion as
seemed to us perfectly satisfactory. We know
that many citizens of Indiana, who have hitherto
been always Democratic are now supporting ScoTr,
and we do not believe there any changes at all
the other way, or that any Wing declines full
participation in the conflict"
The same paper expresses the opinion that KEN
lucky can give as large majority for Gen. SooTT
as it gave for Gen. HARRISON, and gives the fol-
lowing political items

During the continuance of the low wa

sippi have entered into an arrangement,
BY which passengers may reach Galena,

price of $l2. Passengers wishing to
avail themselves of the benefit of this ar
rangement will take either of the packets
from this city and 60 to Keokuk for 81,
thence by the steamer Regulator or John
Mckee between the lower and upper rapids
for the sum of SIS, and there meet with
the fast packet West Newton, which will
convey them the balance of the journey
for So. Around both rapids land con-

Bold PlaRfarism-The Living Ass Clothed In the
Skin of the Dead Lion.
One would have scarcely thought, that
after what the Democrat editor had writ
ten and said Of the late Colonel Goodhue
during his lifetime, he would have had
the hardihood, after his death, to meanly
sneak to the files of the Pioneer, fitch
therefrom solid columns Of editorial mat
ter, and attempt to palm it off as orig
inal. No one who is conversant with
political affairs in St. Paul one year ago, can
fail to remember the article we now pub
lish, from the Pioneer of Sept. rs, 1851. 1t
was one Of the late editors most brilliant
and palpable hits +; and at the time of its
publication created no little sensation. 1t
scored the editor of the Democrat to the
quick; and in his circulating writings
thereat he spoke of it as follows. We
quote from the Democrat of Oct 7, 1851 :
"The Pioneer editor empties vast
amount Of wrath and cabbage" into the
first two editorial columns of his paper of
last week. Having thus relieved his
stomach Of its gall and wormwood, he ar
rives at the last of his editorial columns
as gentle as lamb, and after another bray
and brief exhibition of his elephant-he
excels in the animal line-he becomes
quite human, and almost piousr'
Now who would have thought, we ask,
that one year from the date of this exco-
rating satire of Col. Goodhue's, this same
editor of the Democrat would have the
meanness and temerity to pldgiarise the
entire article, and publish it as editorial
in his own columns-merely altering the
names of persons, and making other
slight variations ? Yet here are the
articles side, by side, that they may be
read and compared. But this is scarcely
necessary as the plagiarism is so elaring
that it became subject Of general remark
all over town, on Wednesday, after the
Democrat was issued. In fact, one can.
not resist the conviction, that the Pioneer
Of Sept Is, 81, was before the DEM
oerat editor when he wrote his article
We have not the least doubt in the world
of the fact; although, like all other at

own use the ideas of great intellects,
Robertson makes miserable failure of it.

LIE sUEUR AND TRAVERSE DIES SIOUX.

At the Office of Conway & Nichols can
be seen plots of these two new towns,
recently laid out on the banks of the
Minnesota, eighty-fve and one hundred
miles above its mouth. We do not refer
to them for the purpose Of "puffing," or
raising them to an importance not natur-
ally their own, but merely to "make a
note Of what they were when we first
saw them.
In the afternoon of July Is, 1850, the
steamer Anthony Wayne, Dan. Able,
master, having ascended the Minnesota
river some thirty or forty miles above the
Nominees single, nailed up two weeks
previous, and having passed the "Big
Woods" landed for moment at broad
and fertile prairie on the south side of the
river. Our guide informed us this was
"Prairie la Fleche." 1t is most beauti-
full and eligible location for town, with
good landing extending great distance
slong the river. and fine woodland, springs
and small running streams close at hand.
This is now lie Sueur, named in honor Of
one of the early French explorers of this
river, and the first white man ever as far
interior Us the mouth of the Blue Earth
or Makato (not .Man-kato) river.
Getting again under way, fifteen miles
further up the river, and after again pass
ing through heavily timbercd country,
the great prairie of the Traverse burst
forth to view, as the boat made turn in
the narrow, crooked stream. 1t was
glorious sight-a picture that can never
be e8aced from the memory Of those on
board. The sun was just setting, and the
green heritage of the prairie, rising in
regular undulations, was gently waving
to the motion of the summer breeze.
Near the river stood forth the neat white
cottages Of the resident missionaries, and
the schoo[house and place of worship,
with Dakota tepees scattered hither and
yon over the prairie. We said then we
never had seen on earth spot so lovely,
and have since failed to find one requiring
O change Of opinion. The Wayne was
the first steamboat that had ever reached
a point SO high up the Minnesota
Rev. Mr.. Hopkins, one of the missiona-
ries (now, alas like many member of
that gay party, numbered with the dead,
was the first to come aboard when we
landed, and give US friendly greet
ing.
When lie Sueur and Traverse des
Sioux become large and flourishing cities,
how often will those who stood that July
evening upon the deck of the Wayne,
revert to the incidents of their first visit
thereto!
