se1- The old saying ofthe days Of Machie-
vel christianity, that one Renegade is worse
than ten Turks in cruelty, Observation-Disclosures,
falsity and rcs,lessness, is still exempli6cd in
principle, in modern times. The latest instance
Of the correctness Of the saying, i the Editor of
the Pioneer. Smartng under the comments
which his Arnold-like course has brought forth
everywhere, he resorts to pitiful lying out of
whole cloth agains, his opponents, and justifics
his own meanness, by falsely charging greater
turptude upon his contemporaries. He charges
upon tho Editor of the Times that she got
beastly drunk ON the Sabbath, during an elec-
tioneering tour" This is a mean and dirty
falsehood: but it shows to what straits traitors
and renegades are reduced by their dcgrcda-
ton. When the ''human necessity of daily
bread" leads to dishonor, lying and calumny are
the fit and only weapons Of the dishonored.

waited for some fine Ora!Orical displays. cOmmen-

harmonious period fell upon our ear. We listen

but were disappointed. All we did see and hear
was little man, dressed in black dress coat,
black cravat, white vest, and white breeches, hav-

their city fathers for offering to receive br.bes
to carry certain measures through the City

their officers were corrupt, but seemed to have
no idea that they were to be punished for it. and
they hardly know how to take the matter. TIE

invite full investigation. The arrested par

DcnOcracy-POpul Sovereignty.

Let us look, u moment, into the import Of these
sonOrous terms and endcavOr to ascertain the
claims of those seeking favor, under them.
Noah Webster defines democracy to be,-''Gov-
''ernment by the people form Of govcrnmen,
SIN which the supreme power is lodged in the
''hands of the people, collectively" Noah Web
ster green he was an old style ,slow- coacher
lived in those dark periods proceeding the ad-
vent of Young America. Democracy, under the
new dispensatiOn, signifies, denial to others of
rights claimed for Ourselves-alacrty in hunting
''niggers'-fac;lity of working in party traces
yocierouS guliibility.
"popular Sovereignty is a plausibili-
ty, an unctnous cadence about this phrase, that
is quite taking. Many honest folks suppose it
really means something; and so it does, as We
shall presently see: Kansas and Nebraska, ac-
cordiug to the provisions Of the famous Bill
erecting them into organized Territories, ,--''shall
be admitted into the Union with Or without Slave
ry the public thereof shall decide - that is,
portion Of the people. The simple English of it
is, portion of the people are to decide whether
the other portion shall be ensaved, rendered
marketable commodities. And the portion whose
vital int rests are thus ut issue are to have no
voice in the matter! This is democracy with
some vengeance, and yet it is democracy accord
ing to S. a. Douglas & Co. We have seen no
proposition to leave the question to the uhole
people of Kansas, and of course it is sheer mock
cry without.
Now there is just one simple test hy which th,
specious bantlng Of modern democracy may be

THE HUMBUG RAULROAD.

We have been expecting for several weeks
past, that just before election an army Of Sur
veyors wouh make their appearance at St.
Paul, and the Wall street Railroad Monopolists
Organ Of this city would endeavor to humbug
the people into the belief that the long expected
Railroad would be built Immediately, and there
by secure the votes of some honest, well-dis-
posed men. The public know our views on
this subjective have warned them against
staying the llatering JUNCTION TO their souls
that the Railroad will be constructed, and we
warn them again. We tell you, gentlemen.
that this is all humbug, put in operation for
the purposeof elccting Henry M. Rice to Con-
gress, who. when elected, will devote his ener-
gies to building up his town at Lake Superior
to the detriment Of Minnesota. We tell you,
gentlemen, that there is a ''grand scheme" to
be carried out, if Mr.. Rice is elected, and that
scheme is to divide this Territory and cripple
our young and vigorous growth. Money flows
in the streets of St. Paul, at the present time,
like water, and this money comes from Wall
street. and from other capitalists, who have
no interests further than to accumulate wealth
out of the rise Of land which they may own in
our Territory, and when they have done this,
you will find them investing in the new State
Of Superior, which is to b., with the City Of
Superior as the Capital. Men are bought and
sold like cattle to-day, to carry out this scheme,
and when it is fully consumlnatcd by the elec-
ton Of the tool Of unprincipled men, then good
by to the future growth and prosperity Of Min.
nesota. We ask our readers to think over this
matter. Not to act hastily, but considerably
to see what effect their votes may have in
the next election; whether by electing Mr..
Rice it will advance our own interests
whether it will advance the interests of others
who are now seeking to tear us a>under and
to reap their reward by the growth and great
ness of rival city anu rival state.
Pause gentlemen = pause = Don't let
this Railroad bubble mislead us. Surveyors
are sent here just on the edge Of winter with
no expectations Of surveying the road, but mere
ly to gull you, and when the company and its
aiders and abcttors hare gulled you and re-
ceivcd your votes, then they will turn round
and laugh at you for your foolishness. This
Railroad movement is humbug, and We once
more warn the people agains, it.
