Great West" Those who have read the series,
have been well repaid, and those who have not,
know not what they have lost. The subject has
not been oyerdrawn, but presented in a very fair
and candid manner, and in style Of which the
writer may justly feel proud. We should be glad
to hear from MIR. Warren ON other subjects.

The Sergeant of the House Of Repre-
sentatives has sent to New York for witnesses to
testify in the case of alleged alterations of the
bill granting land to Minnesota for the construc-
tion of Railroads.
CITIZENS OF MINNESOTA Marx what we saw
We sincerely believe, we almost kpo,o, that the
associates Of Robert Schuyler, who have endeav-
ored SO strenuously to get the Minnesota grant of
land into their clutches, EXPUNGED THE
WORDS " FUTURE" AND CORP FROM THE
BILL WITH THEIR OWN HANDS f! and that
the next information from Washington will cor
roborate what we here assert. Then will the pub
lie begin to realize that fraud has been COM

THE MINNEsOTIAN.
We have been debating in our own mind whether
to follow the ssSenior'' of the Mnnesotan through
his political, social and religious meanderings or
leave him where he now is-before the public in
the capacity Of base slanderer and a .fazsifer!
He unwarrantedly made charge that Sc the bona
fde owner of the Times, was Alex. Wilkin.'' We
denied the charge and called upon him for the
truth, but not syllable has been adducedin sub
sanitation Of that charge. Destitute of princi-
pie, destitute of character, destitute Of moral
courage, he seeks to draw down to his level all
those who loathe him as they loathe the reptile
| that crawls and strikes his poisonous fangs when
| least expected. Warmed and nourished into life.
he seeks to injure those who saved him from
loathesome career. Elevated by circumstances to
the dignity of man, he seeks to prostitute the
interests of Territory for base lucre. Surround
ed by men Of principle, he knows them not. He
is only in his elements when either aiding in ira
ducing the Wing party through the columns of the
"Watab Reveille," or bartering away that party
for his own selfish ends. He assails the feelings
| Of his neighbors by wanton, rude, and uncalled

buked for it, in the harshest most offensive and
approbrious language, like guilty spaniel crawls

sinuous, snake-like poltroon, who would violate
all the rights of associates friends, and never
make reparation acknowledge his error, and

feel that he was Stunned like leper and loathed
like filthy reptile, and he would then become as
| impotent for evil as he is now disinclined for
good. But we pause. The subject is becoming
nauseating. In the language of another, Sc we
leave him with his worse enemy on earth, his own
guilty conscience" There let him revel. We have
no further desire to disturb him.
CLASSIC ARGUMENTS OF THE g SENIoR'' OF THE
MISNEsorIAN--The heightened manner in which
the editor of the Minnesotian meets his opponent,
is worth perusing. We have chosen the most
classical portions of his article relative to our
self, and place them on file for record. Here they
are:
&C Go it, thick patcd mutton-head." ssGreat
Goose" ''Pot-metal mass of rotundity,' &c.
This sounds just like language used by man
in state Of inebriation, but did we not know
that the writer was not only strictly temperate and
moral, we should be inclined to think he had been
taking s' little too much" But then this is the
habit the man has got into-not of drinking we
mean-but of using bar-room slang for argu-
ments. His mud-balls will only tend to bcsmear
his own dirty face.
That reserve has now been taken of, by spc-
cihc act, which authorizes their sale to the peo-
pie, and not their transfer to railroad company.

GY-Very well; that's "speci6cr' This is tho
first point you have made plain, and you probably
would not have made that clear, if you had not
been forced to. Mystify, mystify; that's the
game, SO settlers can be duped! We want no
more of that-gvc us plain language. Now then,
if the reserve lands are to be sold to claimants
and settlers, where will the railroad company get
their land? Beyond the Reserve, and if so will
not claimants who have spent considerable money
in improving their claims, be busted? And if
they are oustcd, as nine-tenths of them probably
will be, is there any redress under the charter
which the company CLAMP This is what settlers
wish to know. The disposition on the part Of
the Minnesotian to befog honest men is apparent
to all, and the it is stripped of its cover
ing the better. eai .-oa stlf
