The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1854-11-18
FRIDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER II. 1854
Continued Rule Of the "Green-Eyed NIons,er.n

the inkstand and pen point OF the editor of the
Times, yesterday morning holdeth forth as fol
lows:
"How long is il since The Mnnesotian be.
came convinced OF the enornity Of the Nebras.
ka iraudr Last fall if we remember correct.
ly. the editor thought it lest not to allude to
the mattekpubliclv, because il might iniure US
with Sthephcn 4. Douglas. as he vas q friend
OF the Territory. Since. however. the Tim S
has spoken out bold Y OIL the suhjuct. and the
people have sustained it. and since also Mr..
Douglas is no longer wanted ior a specific pur-
pJSe, the Minnesoian has became uncommon Y
jealous in the cause Of human freedom"
The said monster, on this as on sundry other
occasions since he has had rule of the Times,
insofar as its editor may have occasion to
speak Of the VI nnesotian, induces the editor to
iyt1sine he;ncus editorial crimes and iicoa.is-
ienc:cs On the par: Of the Minnc>ot;an, for
which we are in 10 wise responsible, for the
reason that we are not guilty. The assertion
that the Minnesotian ever thought il best not
TO allude TO the Nsbraska fraud, for fear of
making an enemy 10 the Territory of Mr.. Doug
las, is one Of the same species Of vagarics. CT
''eccentr;citics," which the Times has been
wont TO Indulge in towards us all the while
Ii has no foundation in truth whatever. Some
weeks before the election, friend Of ours, with
a copy Of the Times in hi, hand. was denounc-
ing with some feeling an article therein, a3u-
sire Of our senior; and stating 10 the by
ISLANDERS that he personally knew every charge
made 10 DC utterly false, ;.al that he believed
the man who wrote the article MADE te false
statements knowingly aad WilGul!y. \ pro-
fessed conscientious and rcii ;ious friend of tie
charging Editor, who happened to lie in tx
company, came TO the rescue 10y replying that
he did not think Mr.. Ncwson would write and
publish deliberate lie, knowingly, bit tia.
he (Nr. NJ was very eccentric young man,
and that his opponent should. on this ground,
overlook those little pccalillos of his. So we
will put this absurd charge in regard to oar
counting favor with Don Which orr files
almost daily, during spring. summer all fail,
abundant'y di>prove-uroa Tie ground OF
another eccentric Interview which tie Times
man Las hal with the "Grrcn-Lyed Monster"
aforesaid.
But The Times Asks "lIow long is it since
