\ THE MINNESOTlAN. a


The Minnesotian again shows its'eloven foot.
II is ono Of The characteristics of the Senior that
he cannot engage in rnscally business, aud heis
never in any other, without letting j. leak OUT
and accordingly yesterday mornings Minnesotian
contains the following:
+" The Times complains bitterly at the cool
taunts and snubbings it receives from its cO-labor
er, the Pioneer, in pay Tor its aid in electng the
Democratic ticket, at the late election. The
Times certainly has feason to feel hurt, but it
must remember this is but a natural way the Lo-
eofoeo party has Of doing things. We knew the
Times and its Wing friends were sold" at the
time. They will have yet more bitter tears ofre-
morse and disappointment to shed before they get
through with the matter. Whens the Legislative
printing is divided betweenthe Pioneer and Dem
ocrat-which there is every reason noW to believe
will be the case-the Times will see further into
the lonely and desolatc future which its Demo-
cratic friends have in store for it," oH = arri
That the Times complains bitterly of the course
of the Pioneer, or is hurt at anything that has
been said in that paper, is utterly false. The
Times was the first paper in the Territory that
took ground against the fraud; and We did so,
determined to crush it, or sink in the attempt--so
far we have triumphed, and our confidence in the
ultimate success of our efforts, is undimin:shed
In the course OF oar warfare upon the forgers, OF
whom he is the organ, we have received good help
from the Pioneer; for though on matters of ma
tional policy we differ widely from that paper, on
this great question we are of one accord. We
declared from the beginning that We would give
the swnders no quarter, we have kept our word
without &c variation or shadow of turning" and
we arc proud of that course, let the ultimate
sequences be what they may, and we would not
exchange the consciousness of having done so to
be the possessor of all the money the Senior has
received for being the organ of the New York
sharpcrs, even though the sum were multiplied by
all the fa!sehoods to which he has resortcd to
bolster up their vil!any.
As to the Public Printing we know nothing,
but common rumor has said that the Mnnesotian,
Democrat, and third party has formed combi-
nation to secure Rices organs, portion, at least,
and if possible all the public work. We have not
heretofore paid much attention to the rumor but
any one acquainted with the character of the
Senior will no longer doabt-the paragraph quo
ted. points as plainly at that object the needle
to the pole.
The editor of the Mnnesotian has no sense Of
II,
others. He weighs all his motives by dollars and
cents, AMI measures others by his own dcbased
standard. Himself utterly deprayed, he cannot
conceive of purity of intention in his neghbor.
lie walks among his fcllowmcn pntrid AMI de-
cayng body, inhabited by a soul so much more
base and deformcl that even that loathsome car
case is, in comparison, as ''Hyperion to Satyr."
Let US not be misunderstood as defam:ng or dis
paraging our subject, for all we have said is fat
terry, compared with what we could say, and say
truly.
In our intercourse with other conductors of the
Press we wish always to preserve proper cOurte-
sy, AMI treat every me with the respect due from
one gentleman to another but courtesy shown to
such as he who turns Rice's dog -churn, on Third
street, is direct insult to every honest man, and
should be so considered by the whole community.
JOHN P. Owens on BANKs.-The signal fail

base attempt t. swirdle the people of Minnesota

At what period subsequent to your apology for
Isaac and the Bank of St. Croix do YOU date
your conversion to Democracy, and your hostility
to banks and banking? give us the statistics,-
sit is due to your POSITION Was not this St.
Croix swindle the first and most base attempt to
defraud the people of Minnesota ever attempted
by any set of scamps? When and where did you
denounce it? Or did your love for gain or the
love YOU bore Isaac restrain your honest indigna

Now Owens, s'it is never too late to do good"
So just dcnounce that old concern 'sChaiity be-
