SOMETHING ABOUT THE PUBLIC PRINTING!
That truth telling and very amiable paper, the
Minnesotian, has something to say about the Pub
lie Printing, which is about as worthy of belief
as many other things written by the editor and
sent out into the world with such an air of honesty
Palavering over what it deems the Inconsistency of
Messrs. Haus, Davis, Brawlcy and Cave, Demo-
cratic members from St. Paul, it puts on swag-
ger and blows its trumpet, as follows:
"The st. Paul Delegation would never have
thought of voting for Earle S. Goodrich, Demo-
cratic editor of the Pioneer, had they for a mo-
ment supposed that Timothy NJ. Newson, Whig
editor of the Times, had in his pocket ,critte,
contract from the said Goodrich, assigning to the
said Newson one half Of the said public print
ing"
The substitution of ''Timothy" for Thomas, in
our name, partakes so much of that smallness
characteristic Of the Minnesotian, that we pass it
over in silence; but the insinuation (,ce dare the
editor TO make a direct charye,) that we have ga
written contract in our pocket from Mr.. Good
rich, assigning us half Of the public printing, is
meanness double-distilled. When the editor will
have the manlincss to come out boldly and charge
us with entering into a written agreement with
MIR. Goodrich or any one else, concerning the print
charge, and in such q manner that this communi-
ty willfuly understand it, but until he does this,
he may rest assured that assertions which will not
pass currency even among his own friends, are
certainly unworthy notice. Guilty Of the
same thing with which he charges us-gulty of
supporting Democrats as we'll rs Wings guilty
of sustaining Democratic delegate now in Con-
gress-gulty of concOcting schemes with Demo-
Gratis to the detriment of the Wing party-Suilty
of putting Democrats almost daily in his paper,
guilty, prior to the election, of using his efforts
to elect lIolinShead and Randall (Democrats) to
the Legislaturc-hc, the would-be Whig editor of
would-be Wing organ, now turns and charges
with act, which, il ommon rumor is to be
believed, he is guilty of himself, that of a CO.
altion with the Democrat to divide the public
printing or that portion of it which falls from
the public table. The Minncsotian talk about
honesty Of purpose! Or honesty in political mat
tcrs! Nonsense! ! With the same propriety the
devil might talk of his many virtues!
But the editor tells us in advance, that we need
expect no mercy from the Whig party. lie GER
tainly is very kind he has told the same thing
time and time again and yet the wings have stood
" uo Juoe 40 hIui 40 thCy CNSf uiu, anu Iucy
probably will continue to do so, Notwithstanding
the efforts Of the Minnesotian to allenate them
from us. That's the trick! Like foolish little
boy, he has always imagined that his nose was
out of joint since came on the stage, because
he considered the Times rival, and he has left
nothing undone to place us in a false position be-
fore the public and with the whig party! Fail
ing in his previous efforts, he proclaims more
falsehoods, in hopes that the seed will take root,
and he may thereby add another false friend to
aid him in circulating his batch of lies Well,
60 on the loss is yours, not ours.
"To be Wing editor in Minnesota" it does
not necessarily follow that we should screen
member of that party when he justly deserves
place in the Pcniteatiary. Never! When we
find Wing or Democrat, deviatng from the
path of Right or Honesty, We will tell them so,
and in language they will understand, and if by
doing this We arc forsaken by the Wings, let them
so. But the Wings are not of that character,
although there may be some who are a disgrace
to any party. They possess too much honesty
and intelligence to be made the cats-paw of any
one, and more particularly of him whose antecc-
dents smack Of the want of good faith towards
them.
