The MinncsotiaM and the Democrat.

1t is most fortunate for the cause of
truth and public morals, that the advocates
of fraud and corruption in this Territory,
among its journals, should be those which
are distinguished, if at all, only by their ut
ter disregard of veracity in their daily par
agraphs, by their utter obliviousness of edi
torial propriety, or by their known proclivi-
ties in favor of any project, however vile
and Objectionable, which may advance the
pecuniary interests of certain men of
wealth, to whom alone they can look for
support.
The vile schemes and viler practices
which have been brought to light during
the late investigation, through which our
territory was bound hand and foot, and de-
livercd over to the tender mercies of band
Of Wall Street spectators, and the chains
attempted to be reimposed after the victim
had been released by the action of Con-
gress, by daring and abominable forgery,
have their fit defenders in such papers as the
Mnnesotian and Democrat The first, avOw-
edIy in the market to be purchased by the
highest bidder, and without even the SEM
blance of decency in its onslaughts on pri-
vate characteristic last, purchased body
and soul by the money of HENRY NJ. RICE
and his minions, expressly to defend his
traitorous course, has thereby been convert
ed from an independent journal into a poor,
imbecilc instrument, with no fixed purpose
in view, other than to echo and re-echo
what its master may utter. The Minncso-
tian may elicit some little admiration for it's
boldness in avowing and defending its SYM
pathy with land pirates, on the same princi-
pie that we cannot but admire the perform
ances and exploits Of Jack Sheppard,
while we reprobate his villainy but the
Democrat, under its new management, has
become so evidently the crawling, plant
tool Of a small faction, with our Delegate
at its head, that it is fast sinking itself be-
low contempt. The former denounces hon
esty, and honest men, and makes facetious
jests upon base swindling operations, as if
their authors were to be applauded for the
dexterity displayed, with barefacedness
which should shock every right-minded
man the latter, with an affectation of pu-
rity, endeavors to cover over mass of
moral and political putrescence, with the
flimsy mantle of its own hypocrisy. OF the
two, we certainly prefer the unblushing, i'm
pudent advocate of knavery, to the sly,
mealy-mouthed pretender to principle. The
one can be guarded against; the other may
so cover itself with it's own slime as to be
invisible, while it emits its noxious effluvia
around.

Value Of an Acre of Coal Land.

The Po.tsville, Pa Mining Regis.
tel, allu,lins to the cheapness ofland in
that quarter few years ago, says, now
an acre Of coal land is worth $4,000.
r Many set down higher figure. In
the South Basin, (lhat is from the Sharp
Mountain to the Mine Hili,) where we
have all the veins, viz: thirteen. incluI.
ing red and white ash, the whole thick.
ness ofthe coal is ninety feet. Allow.
ing one. half of this for fault and waste
in miaing, we have 46 feet, or Is yards
in thick ness of merchantable coal.
There being $4,000 square yards to the
acre, we have by multiplying this nun
berae by the thickness, 10000 square
yarls or tons of coal per acre, which al
rent of25 cents per ton, brings $l6,.
600. This is fair estimate Of the real
value Of an acre Of our coal. land, with.
out exagseraton or embellishment. Ii il
not strange, therefore, that our lands
have, nd are still increasing So largely
in value. In Eng iand,s coal lands, no
possessing near the intrinsic value o
ours, sell at from one 10 two thousan,
pound sterling per acre. $40 sf ~ &
