he JEALOUS MAN.

The Jealous man is miserable man. His mind
is never at ease every thing he sees, or hears, ne
perverts, and he goes about among his fellow men,
with an irritable temper, and countenance as
void of frankness as that of thefs is of hon
esty. He is a total stranger to magnanimity
fairness does not enter into his ingredient. Ills
vision is blurrel BY selfshness, (some times by
liouor) and his whole aim and object is to crush
Others, that he may prosper. Thus he hobbies
through the thoroughfares of life until death
comes and puts an end to his miserable existence
Such men do not benefit society. They foment
bad feelings, and keep alive those animosities
which separate man from man. They pounce upon
their victim unaware with malignity bitter as
gall, and by every unjust means, seek the down.
fall of honest, honorable men. Prosperity IN
others is source of misery to them-purlty OF
character they despisc-an open warfare they
shun-ther best friends they abuse, and turn
traitors to every honorable, noble, generous, manly
act. We pity the jealous man,--consclous OF his
own inability to rise to eminence, he abhors the
opposite trait in others. Having always lived in
a narrow sphere, he knows not what it is to strike
out into the broad sea Of liberality, and when
surrounded with truth, he chafes like Gagged lion.
Such person is a curse to himself-a burden to
society, and an injury to his associates. He lives
miserable, dies miserable. and leaves miserable
memory.

CcJ The fine sensibilities of the "Senior'' OF
the Minnesotian appear to be very much shocked
at the idea of our youth. He raves like mad
man because host of honest Wings have been
gathered to our standard, and in his death-throes
strikes in every direction. Is there any thing very
singular in reasonable men choosing between a
paper that has uniformly advocated an honest,
consistent course, and one that has betrayed its
party, its friende, and sought to shield swinders
from exposure? We see nothing to get mad at.
1t is your own doings, and suppose we are few
years younger, does that incapacitate us from be-
ing honest? Don't be so Jealous.

energy and enterprise? We mean men 30 and
35 years old, not " stripplngs," as you feel dis
posed to call all who are few years your junior

persons to blackguard than to differ honestly and

vein in which you excel, we leave you to your ie-
oitimate element.

Negotiations were on foot yesterday for the pur-
chase of the prospective farm, lying between the
Capitol and the Winslow House. Now that the
Railroad is dead, many of our citizens think of
making the most of their former city property by
selling it for cultivation. Who will take that ex-
tensvc and fertile tract surrounding the Sinomine
House ?-uinnesotidn.
Cy" Such paragraphs as the above are all wrong
and have highly pernicious influence upon the
prosperity of St. Paul and the business prospects
of our citizens. Besides this, they give errone-
GUS impressions abroad, and do more hurt than
the editor can possibly repair in a lifetime. Now
what are the facts? Why, simply these: That
land that could be purchased in st. Anthony street
prerious to the repeal of the Minnesota Land
Grant for $40 per foot, cannot now be bought for
800 per foot, and the assigned is, that
real estate owners know what to depend upon
now, whereas a week ago they were left to uncer-
tainty. We hazard the assertion that to- day St.
Paul stands on n frmcr basis than she did ten
days ago, and yet the editor of the Minnesotian
is continually seeking to depreciate property and
create a panic, simply because he has been unsuc-
cessful in his efforts to lay by '' little loose
change for wet day." " A wounded bird al
ways futters."

The Latest Aspect of the War.

According to the most recent tclegraphic COM

in both Houses last night, two points of infinite
Importance to the course Of war are now assured.
1t is affirmed with confidence, both that the EN-.
peror Of Russia will maintain the occupation of
the Principalitics by force of arms, and that tho
Emperor Of Austria will, if necessary, by forco
of arms cxpel him. If these resolutions have iu-
deed been finally taken at the courts of st. Pc
tcrsburgh and Vienna respectively, there will then
be an end to all those delays and uncertainties
which have hitherto attended the land operations

RIOTS.

The riot in BROOKLYN, and the more recent one
in ST. Louis, furnish us themes for meditation,
and are calculated to arouse spirit of inquiry
as to why these things are so. The fact is, the
blame rests upon politicians, who are governed
by no other motives than to occupy places of honor
and trust through the votes of those they affect
to love, but whom they dcspise for their scrvilty
and their ignorance. Foreigners taught to
believe, by designing men, that they arc essential
Iy necessary for the safety of the country-that
their votes will either preserve liberty, or be the
means of annhating it, and thus impressed they
become arrogant of their rights, and seek to press
them with boldness, and many times without the
least shadow Of justice On the other hand, Ameri-
cans are too apt to exercise an undue hatred to-
ward foreigners, charging them with seeking to
overthrow our government and to establish Papa
cy in our midst. This spirit Of antagonism has
been brewing between our native and foreign pop
ulation for some time past, and famed as the
feeling has been, in the case at St. Louis, by poll
ti;ians, it has finally broken out with serious re-
suits. The remedy for these evils is very plain.
In the first place foreigners should not trust to
politicians, and in the second place, every Ameri-
can should scout those who pander to the foreign
vote. Unless this course is pursued we may ex-
pect to hear of more blood -shed-more riots, and
more deaths from the present bad state of feel
ing existing between the two classes of our cti-
zens. We trust our own people will take warning
from these riots, and avoid any and every thing
which has for its tendency the violation of law
and order
