GALENA AND HER SrEAMBoATs-We wish the
Times aad everybody else to understand that
in proposing new line of steamboats, between
: st. Paul and Dunleith. Fulton City and Rock
Island, We have no desire whatever to break
down the Galena Packet Company, or to drive
its boats out of their legitimate trade. Any
efforts from any quarter to accomplish these
ends would of course be not only wrong but
unsuccessful. II the present Company were
driven off by new one, the latter, in turn
would perhaps 500 become open to as many
objections as the former. But next year there
will be ample business for two lines: and we
wish to see an open and health:ul competition.
with no chance for " gougiag' on either side.
We wish merely to bring these high-headed
and vcr-patronized Galenians to sense Of
what is right and just, between man and maa in
matters Of business.
We cannot, for the life Of US, see what Mr..
Washburne's course on the railroad question
has to do with this proposition for new line
Of packets. although the Times rings in" his
name in this connection. Oar columns bear
witness, that We have never condemned Mr..
Nashburne for his course upon our land bill.
On the contrary, We have always given him
credit for doing his duty faithfully toward his
Galena constituents although st. Pau suffer
ed severely by his course. Our remarks con-
corning Galena and the Packet Company were
given as preliminary facts, for the purpose of
introducing our plan Of operations for next
year. and the Times viii find they are cndors-
Ell by every business man in st. Paul, from the
Wins!ow House to Dayton's BlaT.
/ In regard to what Gaiena has done FOR St.
Paul heretofore. VIC have no qualms of CON
science Oh that head. We doa't think she
would like TO settle up with St Paul, and pay
the large balance, in cash, that would most Ger
tanly stand to our credit by {. fair and honest
posting ofthc books.
/ We again make the declaration, put forth
some weeks since, that it is fall ti,ue for St,
Paul to declare h,r independence of Galena.
But in becoming thus independent. we are by
no means in favor Of turning about and hitch
ing ourselves to the apron strings OF any other
one-horsc town on the river below US. We go
for free trade on this great highway of the ma
ton--nolIng more or less.
