FACTS AND EANCIES,

REMovAT--The coming week the Minnesotian
office will be removed to the large brick build
ing recently erected by Judge Lambert on
Third, between Minnesota and Cedar streets
The rapid and continued increase of our bust
ness has made this step absolutely necessary.
form the business community, here and else
where, that we adhere strictly to the prices
for advertising entered into heretofore by
the publishers of the Pioneer, the Democrat
and ourselves. We are aware that Death has
unfortunately called one of our contemporaries
from among us, and the force of circumstances
has driven the other from his old post but all
this does not affect the price of putty or
rather the price of advertising, with us. Our
present neighbors may afford to work for moth
ing, but we cannot. We claim to understand
the business we follow, having served life ap-
premiership to it, and can assure all wishing
to advertise, that the prices are down to the
lowest living standard. And we here take &C.
casion to remark, that we are in hopes the new
publishers of the Pioneer and Democrat con-
slider themselves bound by the old compact
Circumstances which have come to our knowl-
edge within the past week, make it our duty
to thus define our position at this time.
- Some of the grecncst of our folks imagined
the Editor of the Democrat would not support
H. NJ. Rice, for Congress. They knew very
little of the man. He always acts on prin-
ciple. 1t was principle which induced him
once to publish Wing paper, to secure his
own election to Congress and principle in
duced him to sell his claims to H. NJ. Rice, and
vote for Mitchell, Wing and principle now
prompts him to go it strong for the man, who,
however high he may stand in the estimation of
his fellow-citizens, he (the editor of the Demo-
craft has repeatedly denounced within the last
month, as one unworthy of public or private
confidence. All this is from principle!
- One, to read the Pioneer, would suppose
that the small specimen of humanity who scrib-
bles editorials for that Sheet under the name
of James NJ. Goodhue-(shade of Minncsota's
great editor Done would suppose, we were
about to say, that the little 'critter' had more
friends than there were voters for Gen.
Pierce at the last election. Every paragraph
commences with 'our friend this and our
friend that. Dan. Webster remarked in his
great speech, of March, 1850, which broke down
the swelling tide of Northern and Southern ia
naticism, and secured the passage of the Com
promise measures, that it would be great
wonder, when the disunion convention assem-
bled at Nashville, if the bones of Gen. Jackson
did not raise from their coffin. 1t is almost
phenomenon to the people of Minnesota every
time they read the Pioneer these days, that
similar uprising of the dead does not take place
in this vicinity.
- The understood responsible editor of the
Pioneer, it is hoped will not let his little
dagger man cut his as well as his own throat.
We would respectfully inform both gentlemen,
that our attack upon Maj. Murphy was based
upon information obtained from member of
the editors family.
The Democrat accuses us of once, in the
ooiumis OF our paper, advocating the charter
VI "ahhs In Minnesota. In plain words this is
SIMPLY false, and we challenge the Editor of the
Democrat, or any other man, to the proof

where they are needed, and where the bill-hold-

but in Minnesota there has not been heretofore
any necessity for them. 1t is fact, however.

bankers.
- Richard Henry Lee, editor of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, it will be noticed by a news
paragraph elsewhere, died in that city on the
Iis' uit. Mr.. Lee was one of the ablest writers
connected with the Western press, and gentle
man universally esteemed for his generous social
quanties. He was the direct descendant of his
namesake who signed the Declaration of indie
pendence, and inherited the noblest virtues of
! that illustriOus man.
