Cor the Pioneer
Governor G.orlilaas.


It is amusing to witness tue efforts that
are n,ade in certain quarters tobring about
a result, which if it were accomplished, /
could only enure to the possible pecuniary
benefit of few desperate politicians, who
only can flourish by being associated with
officials willing 10 walk with them on
the same platform &of> self degradation
and personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. T-refef
now to the removal of Governor. GoRaAS.
Every week or two, We hear it ANNOUNCED.
from some silly easaayactngsr OF public
opinion and official action, that at such a
date. GovernorsG oRMAN would most Aassur-
edly be removed, and hint given US who
would be his successor. All this stuff may
gull some of the more simple ones to such a
belief and may, if they are weak enough to
be influenced by such wise-acres, gradually
induce them to believe that where there is
so much pertinacity Of affirmation on one
point, there must exist some truthful basis
for it, But yet the writer viii venture To
assert that if he knows anything Of human
nature--if he knows anything of the effect
Of human conduct in inducing the respect
and good will Of the highest functonaries
of our Government, he has not the slightest
doubt but that at this moment Governor
GoRuAN stands higher in the estimation OF
the authorities at Washington than he ever
did
1t is true that for timt, during the ear
ly part of his ,rgims, owing doubtless to his
having lent a too willing ca" to desperate
politicians, of similar, if not the same,
stamp as those who are now seeking to have
him removed, because, forsooth, from ex-
, perience he is too wise to suffer himself to
be again entoiled by a like sett, and owing
doubtless to the novelty of his position and
his ignorance of the people among whom he
had come to reside, he made some mistakes,
such as insisting upon, what afterwards PROV
ed to he fraud, in the Sioux Treaty, and
in attempting to bring down, by treaty, the
| Winncbagoes nearer the settlements Oh the
Mississippi river; but have yet to learn
that the people Of this Territory, as well as
the authorities at Washington, have not the
lnagnanimity to forgive public function
airy, who willingly rectifes his errors assoon
as he becomes convinced of Them as the
Governor did in the cases alluded to; and
who has ever since stood forth a noble
champion Of the Territory's truest interests,
and highest honor, and this in the face of
the most provoking malignity at home and
the yilest detraction abroad.
No, Mr.. Editor; to the writer, the Gov
ernor's conduct in thus standing up as he
has, against such malevolence at home, and
the detraction and misrepresentation of en-
emies abroad; who, because Of their per
sonal presence at the seat Of government,
could, if they were really men Of influence
and weight, do him q great deal Of harm
shows the estimation in which he is held by
the government, and is a sure earnest that his
| prosecutors will fail in their Vaccinations
against him. His firm yet digniGed advo-
cacy Of the viii of the Territory as express
sed in her fall elections, in doing all which
lay in his power oprevent her being brought
/ to the foot Of al unscrupulous and AFRO
giant company like that which has cursed
the State of New Jersey for years; and at
the same time, in pointing out the only way
in whieh-the Territory could, with honor,
recover the grant !ofhlands which had been
by fraud wrencled from it, (Which all must
now see from ,hc unanimous action Of the
House in tie annulment Of the Charter was
! the only, proper, course to, pnrsue;) / say,
i the Governors conduct in all this, in the
j face of calumny, insults and misrepresenta
tons of the most shameful character, can
!, not but endear him more than ever to the
J, hearts of the people of the Territory, and
! gives him a higher niche in the good viii
} and esteem of his superors at Washington
! Nous Teyrons. FAIR PLAY. l.
