PRESIDENT PIERCE AND GOVERNOR GoRxAs.

RESIDENT FIERCE AND GOVERNOR GORMAN,
The Washington Star, semi official organ of
the Administration, contradcts the statement
made by some Washington letter-writers, re-
specting the alleged unfriendliness of President
Pierce to Governor German, of Minnesota The
Governors course has made him enemies among
those who act as if Indians lived only for their
special benefit. The Governor thinks they are

K. Brown, the editor thereof! 1t has caused
mnch remark among our citizens. If there be
a man in Minnesota, whose whole course
through life toward the Indians has shown that
he regarded them as made for his particular
benefit politically and in every other respect,
1t is Joseph Il. Brown. He has lived most of
the time for the past thirty years, directly from
their hands, and the remainder of the Interval,
he has been supported by keeping in with that
species OF politics resulting from Indian rela-
lions with the Government. He is even now,
we understand, though Editor and Councillor.

tary tavors from the Sioux Indians, growing out
of his relationship to the tribe and in all rro
bibility would have long since been compelled
to exercise his brawny limbs at mauling rails or
chOppng cOrd-wOod, had not this relationship
existed. And yet he can thus stultify himself,
and traduce all his old friends, the traders,
merely for the pitiful privilege Of enjoying q
