ed people.

collected should in nowise superceed the
necessary and economical expenditures of
the State government.

without distinction of party, and wholly
unfettered by political faction or preju-
dice.

dhlaie who does not unreservedly declare
hmse in favor Of retrenchment of our

GovERNoR RAMsEY.-For some time past the
columns Of the Minnesota Democrat have been &C.
cupied with articles of a coarse and most abusive
kind, attacking the character of Governor Ram
sey, of Minnesota, with the name of whom that of
Hon. Mr.. Sibiey was usually associated in the ef-
fort of detraction. The very violence of the lam
xuage of the articles deprived them of all their
real force. When man has good cause he
afford to express himself in more moderate way
than the editor of the above paper has done in this
case. cause that is to be sustained by little else
than abusive language must be, indeed, a bad one
If we not greatly mistaken, Alexander Ram
sey s one of the best Governors Territory of the
United States has ever had. The st. Anthony Er-
press says the voice of condemnation of these at
tacks has been heard in thousand different ways
in the Territory. " 1t is heard in public and in
private, in the Assembly room and the social cir
cle in the street and at the reside And it is but
natural that it should be 800 MIR. Sibley, the
Territorial Delegate, on his arrival at Washing
ton promptly demanded investigation Of the
charges, and the investigation, in our opinion, will
only add to the previous high character of both the
Governor and the Delegate.
