[g5F:' Citizcn'' in the Mnncsotan continues
to make an ass of himself, by brayinS out for
''morc light" lie flaps his broad cars and swings
his tail as majcstically any other donkey, pufed
up with Il large quantity Of pedantry which is
really disgusting, to the delicate sensbilities
of Puffy Blowcrhard, of which, undoubtedly, he
is Il near relative. He says
..1,.e people Of Minnesota, against whom no
charge whatever was preferred, has been convict
cd Of that .fnnd.'
No such thing. The people of Minnesota hare
not been convicted OF that fraud, and to enable
Congress to rightly understand the matter, we have
advocated, and do now advocate that the people
shall, through their representatives, Ill the Legs
laturc, rcpudiatc the fraud and every body con-
nectcd with it.. The Members of Congress do not
believe that the people of Minnesota are response
bic for the alteration, but if we remain silent and
allow the matter to pass without a severe rcbukc,
they would then infer that we did have something
to do with the fraud, and would treat us accord
inclv. Do YOU understand that, MIR. Donkey?
But he continues:
81 ask where were the true friends of Minneso-
ia all this time ? Did they stand by and see an
No sir. The true friends of Minnesota voted
for the repeal of the Bill for the express purpose of
''casting ccnsurc on those who pcrpetratcd the
Fraud" and putting the land beyond their power,
we'll knowing that this was the only course under
the circumstances, to pursue. When they become
satisfied beyond doubt by memorial from our
Legislature, that we scout the forgers, then they
will give us a grant Of land, and these are the
'fue. friends of Minnesota. DO you understand
that, Mr.. Donkey?
"Citizen'' need give himself no uneasincss
about our future course. Wchave marked it out,
and if in our advocacy of any doctrine we deem
right, we tread on his toes, he needn't turn
round and kick us, for we are bound to expose
error and corruption wherever it may exist. We
shall probably give him light enough before we
get TIN ough with this mattcr-perhaps more than
he may wish. If we do, he must not blame us.
MoRE HIsroRY.--The Times of Saturday SAYS
the monopoly of the Camden and Ambov Rail-
road has ruled New Jersey for the 6 last half
century, Mnncsofian.
The Times said no such thing, and you know
it. What it did say, was his:--That that COM
pany had done ''more than any other monopoly
for the last half century, to curse that State.'-
That is, during its existence it had in jured the
State more than any other monopoly which had
existed in the State for the last half century -
You must be pretty hard run, neighbor, when you
resort to such shifts. And after this, when You
set yourself up as a tutor over others, please
bear In mind that it i, necessary first TO know
what you arc talking about before YOU attempt to
correct matters of which you know nothing.
There is no difference in principle between the
charter of the Camden and Amboy Railroad Co.
and that Of the Wall street Company. Had the
latter Company got possession of the lands they
would have been as great monopoly and as great
a curse to Minnesota as the Camden and Amboy
Railroad Company have been to New Jersey.
We feel certain that a Connecticut schoolmas-
ter could benefit the Senior,' not only so far as
his historical knowledge is concerned, but also by
few lessons in honesty. This is the second time
you have tried to set us Rightly once more.
The Minnesotian exults over the incarce-
ration in prison of a poor unfortunate being,
who was caught gambling, while at the same
time the editor says nothing about the high-col-
lar gentry who make gambling their profession.
He ridcules the poor fellow, and affects to be
witty by inquiring what Mr.. Rice had to do with
it. For shame on you, for your inhumanity.-
Your heart must be callous to every noble i'm
pulse. If this is the way you exhibit your love
for the people, 'sGood Lord, deliver us.'
eS Yesterday was warm again, with good.
healthy breeze. Wanted.-fve thousand visitors
to enjoy our beautiful scenery, romantic lakes and
genial atmosphere.
