Election.
The editor of the Democrat, commenting
III Monday evenings paper upon the article
IN the PIONEER of the same date, in which
we exposed and denounced his disgusting
spanellsm, has the hardihood to style him
self IA good Democrat" and to beslaycr
with his fulsomc commentator the very
men whom he tried to defeat week be-
fore, and upon whom he then showered col
umns of billingsgate and abuse. We shall
not permit this impostor, and renegade from
"Mggery to practice his impudent feats
before the people of Minnesota, without
visiting upon him the exposure which his
hypocrisy deserves Without DWELLING I'm.
on him editorially this morning, we invite
those who have curiosity in sounding the
extreme depths of depravity, to follow us
along the track of the Democrat editor as
revealed in his own columns.
In the Democrat of the 18th instant. after
stating that Mr.: S1BLEY and others were
intending to get "a grand scheme of fin
ance' through the Legislature next winter
by which they would ''aood onr Territory
with worthless paper instead of gold,v Mr.,
EMERSON wrote concerning the Democratic
nominees as follows
Democrats look we'll into this matter, ID NJ,
vote Tor men who are anrious get into the Legla
f~e, that they may be BOUGHT UP bv these men.
at GOOD ROUND PRICE,
In the Democrat of the 9th instant the
day before election. Mr.. EMERSON continues
his gross abuse of Messrs. BRAwLEY, HArs,
CAVE, DAVIS, and LEMAY, the Democratic
nominees, as follows:
These men have combined by their score,
sings, official cOncavcs and ca,cuses to cheat the
Democracy, by packing conventions with MEN AND
CANDIDATES WHO ARE UNWORTHY or
THE HIGH PLACES TO WHICH THEY As.
PRE-" SC. Sc,
In the Democrat of the 10th instant, is
sued on the morning of election day that
he might have one more opportunity of ira
dncing the candidates who had been pre-
scented by the Democracy, Mr.. EMERSON
writes ...-.
"Thesc are men who control the busy, loud talk
ing politicians, who make all the noise and excite
meni-who bear false witness in the tme Of hard
need, and who Milling for petty pau to ,aisyeauesent
and maiign those whom their masters NAV DIES iona,e
as being opposed to them. Good specimens of these
men are to be found in those ,cho figure as CANDI.

DOWN!'
After this manner the editor of the DEM
ocrat abused the nominees of the party
which he pretends to support, before cleo
ton, and up to the closing of the polls
The coyarlly libeller doubtless imagined
the people would "fall down and worship
the golden calf" HENRY NJ. RICE, as he
had done, and that he could thus outrage
truth and decency with impunity. But the
people, more honest and intelligent than he
had accredited them, sustained triumphant
ly the men whom he had reyiled, and forth
with lie fawns around them, like spaniel
the day after election, as follows:
"The,e are GOOD MEN upon the successful
ticka-men who can do much for our Territory and
City, and hope they will pursue such a course in
our Legislature will lead to harmony and concert
OF action''
This spanielism, which would have ground
into the soul of any man, not utterly desti-
tute of spirit and manliness, was not svco-
phantic enough to suit the nature of the
Democrat editor He therefore, on Mon
day evening, the 10th instant, makes the
following admission:
1--WE HAD NO OBJECTION TO THE MEN
WHO WERE ELECTED, other than this: that
We thought the course which they would pursue would
notbe the best calculated bring about speedy con-
shuction Of our railroads.
With these extracts, in which Mr. EMER-
son convicts himself voluntarily and nul,-
licly, of being gross and malicious liar and
libelIer, we leave him for today.
