White Earth, leading TO Fort Laramie.
BY reference the map it WILDE seen that BY con-
;inuing up the htc Earth to near its source, and
passing fifty miles north Of Laramie, much
trave! will be saved, while informed the wood
water and pasturage are more abundant the travelling
equally good. That road would he nearly on drec,
line from Fort Rdgeley to the junction with the old
South Pass Road on the Sweet Water, and the dis
lance is not great from ST. Paul to the Sweet Wa.
ter, as from Independence to Fort Laramie.
THE REASON WHY.-For the past two months
the editor Of the Minnesota Democrat has been very
busily engaged in vain enlcavor to make capital for
the attainment of the public printing from the next
Legislature and TO effect that object, he has dee,ned
IT absolutely necessary that should be ''crushed'
Hence his unproy oked and unceasing warfare against
with declaration that we had provoked his ire
Like the ''peaceabe and quiet boy" he would cast
stone at u.s. and then cry out, "let Inc alone, now,
don't want TO quarrel"
The unqualified rebuke which the Democracy Of the
Territory administered the Democrat, aud its i'm
mediate friends, by the unanimous nomination for
Congress Of a man ~hom that paper had denounced
"devoid Of the political integrity which is requs-
site to command the confidence Of the Democratic
party" should have taught the editor of that paper
the true estiuiaon in whch lie was held by all sound
Democrats. but blinded by his vanity and folly, he
was unableto the urequvocal censure passed upon
the former course Of his paper.
The public printing has always been the grand
principle in the Democrats Democratic creed and
the editor stands ready TO sacrifice every other prn-
ciple moral POLITICAL secure the attainment of
that great object of his ambition, and from the
decided Democratic majority in the Legislature, his
vanity has counted on undoub,ed success in his UNI
dertak!ng. he could gf out IF has woy. and there
fore he has put forth all his energies TO place us in
false position before the people.
We have IN two or three instances, stopped to nor
tice the vile caumnies Put forth against us, through
the columns of the Democrat; but as far as attacks
upon Us are concerned, we will hereafter let the cdi-
tor Of that paper do his own barking. The paper is
without Influence and its character for 'sergiversa-
ton" is SO well established, that we have nothing to
apprehend from its growlings. The position of the
Pioneer, and the very hatcrng support it is recei,.
ing from the people Of the Territory, as well as from
abroad, places far above the reach Of the Billings
gate effusions Of the Democrat
II has been, and will continue to be an object of the
hrst Importance with US, to promote the harmony and
unity oil the Democracy, while we labor to promote
the general interests, and permanent, prosperity Of the
Territory, and these duties we cannot perform salts
'actory TO curseit or the numerous readers Of the
Pioneer, If we continue to notice The fossh ISLANDERS
contained in the sOne horse'' sheet which is issued
from the corner of Third and Wabashaw streets,
OUR DELICATE To CONGREss.---The Ga.ena
Jefersonian referring to the communication from
"Nlinn sota Democrat" says: sIf we have done
Mr. Rice the Injustice with which our correspondent
charges US, we owe him at least this small amend.
II we have been led into error the error on our part
is un;nentona, for Minnesota politics are an enigma
which we do not pretend to under stand''
This is certainly rather severe hit, when we
come to look over the Minnesota Democrat Of july 6.
and July l3, published by David Dim ted, and COM
pare passages in those papers, with The statements of
"a Minnesota Democrat" the author Of which we
are told by the Jefcrsonian, is Mr. Olmsted.
Truly the politics of the Minnesota Democrat hive
been an enigma, which but few in Minnesota ,spre-
tend to understand
The MiSNEsoTIAN AND THE BANKs-In the
last Minnesotian the editor in speaking of the recent
Bank failures, says:
"upon subsequent inquiry we are led to believe
that the list OF alleged broken banks with the ex-
cepion Of TIE Patchin, MassilIon, and one or two
others, was got up in st. Paul. for the especial beue-
1T OF sou;e local money sharks after the arrival of
the Clarion on Thursday OF last week.
The report Of the failure Of these banks which
created considerable excitement in city, was tee-
seaphed to Galena. long bore the Clarion arrived q.
oar enee, so that The getting up part in ST. Paul don't
apply. As the editor has spoken particularly Of Mr.
Parker. generating him from any Llaue in the prem
Uses, and has made allusion other brokers' ex.
cept as "money sharks are fearful that they NAV
very justly infer that his remarks are applicable to
them Messrs. Borup & Cakes and Brewster & |
Co., had no hand in the matter, and conduct their
business, as formerly, believe, in an honorable
manner.
BAD GRAMMEP.-The editor of the Democrat
calls telling the truth chad grammar-We have no,
observed any OF that hind Of bad grammar in the COL
uuins Of hi, paper.
