NORTHWESTERN DExocRAr."-This is the
title of a new ISSUE in the shape of weekly
journal, which reaches us from our quiet neigh
bor st. Anthony. The first number, now be-
fore us, makes a handsome appearance, and is
we'll filled with readable editorials and selected
matter. The editors and proprietors are Messrs.
Prescott & Joues-the politics of the sheet
indicated by its name. In regard to the
particular branch of the great Democratic
family with which this new journal sympathizes,
we will suffer one within the circle to speak
rather than ourselves. Rev. II. NJ. Nichols ap-
pears to be posted up in reference to the en-
terprise from its incipient stages, aud in a let
ter to the Northampton Courier, under date Of
June 16, writes from St!sAnthony, as follows
A few weeks since, Rev. r. S. Rust, late Su-
perlntendcnt ofCommOn Schools, in New Hamp-
shire, and member of the n. H. Methodist
Conference, came here and made arrangements
lot publishing new paper, to be called the
Northwestern Democrat To be Maine Law
paper, liberal and progressive i'll politics, but
protessedly an Administration paper. Perhaps
some Oh our readers may remember the Rev.
Mr.. Rust, as an ardent anti-slavery lecturer
some ten years since. Just how much this pro-
tcssion disappearing the Administration was to
mean We could not exactly tell for the Editor
left for Washington Immediately, to secure
some of Uncle Sam s advertising patronage for
the new paper. But whether Uncle Sam had
more children now than he could provide for,
or whether he was little jealous of the profes-
sion OF the Northwest yOungster, We are not
able to tell, but it would seem the effort was
not successful. and Mr.. Rust will remain in New
Hampshire. The paper, however, is to go on,
and the editorial chair is to be occupied by Geo.
W. Prescott, Esq, young and very talented
lawyer of this place. The readers of the Ma
tional Era, have noticed his initials. to several
letters lately published, from this place. He
will make an excellent paper, and while it may
not he distinctly Free Soil, it will be decidedly
liberal and anti-Ilunkerish. Mr.. Prescott is
law partner of. W. North, Esq, whose letters
on Minnesota in the Era, last fall, were read
with such interest, and copied by the Courier.
BY very many in Mass, but more particularly
in Conn.,, John Wesley North will be remember
Ell as one Of the strong ant-Slavcry lecturers,
in company with such men As W. II. Burleigh,
S. NJ. Booth. J. r. IIawley. the present editor
OF the Republican, and host of others. Mr..
North has not fell from grace but in the pro-
violence of God may yet have an opportunity of
gathering fresh laurels in the cause of Free
Democracy, when Minnesota begins to think of
putting on the robes of State
The Minncsoti;n is mistaken in supposing
that our townsman, John W. North. has any
thing to do with the Merchants and Mechanics
Bank, so called, of this place.-.N. w. Demo-
crat.
How many times more, we would like to en-
quirc, will be compelled to state that we have
never openly charged Mr.. North with any such
connection? If the editors of the new Demo-
cratic organ at ST. Anthony are about to COM
mence with this sort ofpettifogging course to-
wards their brethren of the press in the Terrific
ry, we hope they will have good time of it!

Their is Il poet, it would seem. The following
neat little gem of wit appeared last winter in
the Caskct, paper edited by the ladies of ST.
Anthony, and read weekly before their literary
society. 1t has been the rounds, and now re-
turns with plentiful complimentary endorse
ments. We had not previously met with it -
