ANOTHER pErALcAr,oy rs IT TRUE

The Pioneer published in its issue of yesterday
morning, an account of the defacation of HON.
A. VI. FRlDLEY. a member Of the present Leg
isaturc from St. Anthony, and Sheriff of Ram
sey Co. The amount stated to have been abstrac-
ted from the public treasury, is $5S,6l1 As!
1t seems that Mr.. Guthrie, Secretary of the
Treasury, transmitted to Congress, on the 10th
of JAM, list of the defaulters to the Government,
and Mr.. FRlDLEY'S name stood second ON the
list for the amount above stated. We hope for
the reputation Of Minnesota, that there is somc-
thing wrong in the report, and that it will prove
that Mr.. Fridley is innocent of the charge prefer
red against him. If it is true We may verify say
that we have fallen upon evil times, and what will
become of us, is question of momentous inter-
est to those who even advocating stu
penduous fraud, the results of which will curse
them bitterly in few years to come. We ask
again, sis the report true that the Honorable A.
NJ. Fridicy is a Defautcr to the enormous amount

SJOO!!

This was the amount charged by A. NJ. FRlD-
LEY, member of the present Legislature of Min
nesota from St. Anthony, and Sheriff of Ramsey
Co., for merely pulling the string which ushered
the poor Indian Yu-ha-zec into eternity! The
bill was presented to the County Commissioners
of Ramsey Co., AMI if any one doubts what we
here utter, we will prove our assertion.
The Bill presented by Mr.. Lull, assistant, who
did the principal work, was about $50!
Now citizens Of Minnesota, Of Ramsey County!
think of this! Your Sheriff charges YOU $500
for an act, which in itself is b-utaizing to human
nature, but independent Of which, occupied, to
say the least, only one day of his time. $500
for hanging an Indian EVERY cent of which, if
the bill is allowed, will come out of your pockets
$500!
Will the bill be allowed? We have sufficient
faith in County Commissioners to believe that
it will be spurned by them, and if it is not, we
hope the people will take the matter into Their
own hands, and see by what authority this cnor-
nous sum is demanded. Men of principle, of
honor, of integrity; lovers of religion, of right,
of justice, we ask you to stop and watch the signs
Of times-they are ominous of evil?

WEDNESDAY. JAN. 81, 1855.
TRAITORS!

Traitors have been spurned in all ages of the
world. and their names have been handed down
to each succeeding generation as unworthy OF iml-
tation. Traitors to their country are particularly
detestable but traitors to their fellow men, trait
ors to principle, traitors to God and Right,
should receive the unqualified condemnation of
every honest man. He who sells his vote, or his
influence for gold, would sell his country for less
than thirty pieces of silver,-he is a whited Sc
pulcher, rotten; devoid of even the semblance OF
principle, contaminating every one with whom he
comes in contact He is an insinuating devil, and
leads his victim to pandemonium with the same
hypocritical smile that marks the assassin !
The names of such men should be blazoned forth
that unsuspecting, honest men may not fall with
in their grasp.

New Ensland-the Tax Laws-John Mitchell, &c.
CINCINNATTI, Jan. 10, 1855.
Friend Newson Il was glad to notice in your
last paper, that the citizens of Minnesota are so
early mindful of the glorious otd New England ;
and that sentiments of love and ilial respect find
their expression and hearty response from those
who are so earnestly struggling to subdue the will
derness, and plant there the civilization that
has suf6ced to bring New England to its present
height Of prosperity. No son Of New England,
in whose heart there has ever been planted true
and genuine veneration for her institutions, can
ever forget them, or prove recreant thereto, no
matter under what circumstances he may be plac-
ed. Nor will he ever loose his confidence in their
stability, or their pliancy in .ptirg themselves
to any new circumstances. And well may every
of that noble and honest land, point to it
with pride, the " bright particular star'' of
our Union. ." 'f.
Of local news there is really deartll. Murders,
thefts, and the whole catalogue of crime indeed
might be culled over, and we should find hardly
one that had not been exempli6ed in our midst,
in the time that had elapsed since my last letter.
But these all have ceased to do more than to
attract a passing notice. a.iGf. .r d. {
You may have noticed the difficulties existing
in thi, state, in regard to the Tax-laws. Inas-
much as they forbid the deducting of the credits
merchants have on their books, and require sworn
statements, of the full amount of both credits
and debts, and default of this imposes penalty
of fifty per cent. increase the amount render
ed, many of our merchants deeming it palpably
unjust that they should be compelled to pay taxes
on property they do not own, as well as what
they do, declined to pay any such taxes Most
Of them however made their peace with the ruling
powers. Some have still refused, and within a
day or two the Treasurer has commenced dstrain-
ing for the amounts claimed.
Mr.. John Mitchell, 8. falling star,'' came here
day or two since, to deliver lecture, and
straightway some of the everlasting tribe of
spooneys, in our city council, would be satisfied
with nothing but reception of the patriot, and
flaming speeches, all of which came off. But
which awakened a spirit of rebellion and sturdy
resistance. Public meetings and professions have
abundantly rebuked this miserable toadying to
one whose whole course while in America, has
been calculated to wound and iniure the cause of
Republicanism.
