that there two kinds Of Democrats. those who act
from principle, and those whose actions controlled
by personal considerations alone.
The editor however was very DESTROYS of success,
and as d1ni1 resort began 10 set political traps with
view to catching a suitable candidate; and he final
" succeeded in Obtaining through the most unpardon-
able means, the name Of gentleman who consented
TO run as an independent candidate.
This result produced manifestation Of Joy unspeak-
able in and about the Democrat. "a new name"
was printed at the mast head, correspondence pur-
porting to be signed BY who never heard of the
matter until they their in print, was her
aided forth by editorial introduction worthy Of both
the head and heart of the author, recognizing the
new candidate a selection Of" the principal Demo-
Gratis Of the Sixth Council District" The proceed
ings of the I" Maine Liquor Law Convention was
repudiated, as far the nomination Of candidate
for the Council was concerned, but the nominations
for the House, by the same Convention, and at the
same time, were fully endorsed This new announce
ment, with the newly discovered mode Of making a
Convention illegal for those who present personal
objections, but legal for those against whom personal
objections not supposed exist, may be found in
the Minnesota Democrat, Of Oct 9TH, in which mum.
her may also be found a leader headed a" Political
Fidelity"
The editor, not content with the circulation Of these
"new lights" through the paper, also contributed
edoraly to circulars, printed the Democrat office,
and literally circulated, denounciug the Democracy Of
the Shakopee Convention.
These are facts which cannot be denied. They
on record and susceptible of the cearest proof.
and upon which we based our charge that the editor
OF the Democrat had made attacks upon Us which we
felt constrained to notice after the election and vet
the editor Of the Democrat has the efrronery to ask
"Who was it that cndeavore TO throw the first
irebrand into the camp OF the organization, and to
rupture the mutual relations which the success Of our
party demanded should exist before the eectionl And
to whose tordeardnce is It owing that this frebfand
fell harmless and almost unnoticed in our midst.'
Certainly the answer to these queries would not be
very aattering to the editor Of the Democrat.
But the most consummate piece Of impudence we
have known to transpire since Aitkinside and Berg
left the Territory, is presented ia the following:
"When can become convinced that political
degradation consists in a jealous devotion to the in
tetests and success Of the Democ ratio party, faith
full and unwavering adherence its usages and nom-
nations. and firm and decided opposition its enc
mics in whatever shape, under whatever disguise
they may assal its integrity its principles, then we
will own the soft impeachment"
o temporc! o mores!!-Here is man who was
an abotionist, and is free soiler has owned
and controlled wing paper, and is the editor of
the Minnesota Democrat,--has become a candidate
for Delegate to Congress, and at the appointed time
withdrew his name to secure the election of whig
candidate, and was lately the efessed supporter Of
the Democratic candidate for the same Office, who
was Of the first opponents to Demcc attic organ
zation in the Territory, and is now talking about g"
jealous devotion to the interests and success of the
Democratic party,"-who, during the recent canvass,
abored assdously to defeat a Democratic nominee,
and ii now gassng about being Ca faithful and un-
wavering" adherent to Democratic "usages and
nominations" Having been ever, thing, he i. pre-.
pared to become anything (Which does not require
political honestly TO subserve his own personal ends
and yet he has the face TO refer the Pioneer, as
having but lately espouscd the cause Of Democratic
organization" and this too when he kno,us that the
Pioneer and its present editor advocated the cause of
Democratic party organization when the present e,ii-
tor Of the Democ,at a bitter opponent to such
organization. Truly, neishbnr has some original
ideas about "Potical Fidelity"
The SHAXoPEE CoNvENTioS.-InM Mr.. Vince

Council District" written by the editor of The Min.
nesoa Democrat. we find the following:
"Io my surprise have just met Circular pub

mcntS, repudiates the temperance character of the
Convention, and endeavors 10 whip democrats into
ms support because he Is the nom inee OF regular
