The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1854-03-25


our paper last week, that the editor Of the above
redoubtable and modest sheet would arraign
us for what he might term editorial discour-
tesy, in our structures upon its disgusting swell
about daily paper the previous week. Our
impressions proved to be well founded. Mr.
Brown is out in full blast. rehearsing the in
sulting language and sickening gas contained
| in the prospectus of Goodrich Co.'-insult-
ing no less to all of US here engaged in the
printing and publishing business, than to the
intelligence and good sense Of the people Of
Minnesota. Thou hypocrite! cast the beam
from thine own eye before lecturing us about
editorial courtesy! We have no other reply
to make to your column of twaddle now before
u.s. The sense of the whole community was
outraged by the clustering bragadocia Of the
prospectus having Mr.. Goodrich's name at
tached; and never have we written and pab-
universal applause, or for which We were more
generally complimented, than this one of last
week. showing up the nauseating egotism and
discourteous clustering Of the new Pioneer
firm. Editorial courtesy, Indeed! Bah, Mr..
Brown!
DurY-We have found it our duty to lend
hand in taking the starch out of various spe-
cimcns OF the genus upsfaTf, since our connec-
ton with the press in Minnesota. The new
editor Of the Pioneer is not the first s,ceN who
has come here with the exalted idea of playing
smash among the Minnesota 'greenhorns.
Before his day, we have had editors, lawyers,
doctors. merchants, speculators-aye, and Gov
ernors too, Cor ut least GOVERNOR of this STALL
fed class, whose views underwent rapid chan
| ges, through the force of circumstances after
being here few months. The new editor has
shown himself of this high melted, self-impor-
tant breed. We intend, if possible, to get him
into proper training before many months, else
there will be no living in the same place with
him.
- We learn from passenger who came down
ON the Greek Slave Thursday, that the celcbrat-
cd ShakapceConrention has at 9Th adjourned
sine die, without coming to any positive decis-
ion as to its political character and principles!

delegate from Traverse, are to he its admins

rotten and The estate bankrupt.
RAILROAD CEEplrs-We call attention to the
following recent move among capitalists, in
regard to railroad securities. We had soma
stckers III our Legislature, who contended for
Il repeating clause in tie Northwestern Rail,
road charter, and We are sorry to add one OF
two of them have too good sense on general
subjects, not to make themselves appear very
ridiculous by taking this ground upon railroad
charters. five never have railroad until VIC
get one under charter repcalablc at any time
it will be many Il day before We welcome tic

We copy from late number Of thc New York
Tribune:
Commercial and Bankers letters. By the late
arrival from Europe, inform us that English anG
! Continental capitalists have recently obtained
an impression that individual liability" at
iaches TO The stockholders in many of the rail
road companies in the new States. and are dis
posed to inquire particularly into the matter
1t is needless TO say that all prudent and aga
cious American capitalists are wary on THU
point. and would not introduce to the marke
any railroad security subject TO the doctrines o
.'individual liability, or of the fright to amend
repeal and alter" without the consent of cor
pogators. Aad believing We understand tn,
feeling of capitalists OH this subject, we here art
now admon:sh in time any who may think o
building railroads (and We believe some do il
