GERS are fools enough to believe him when he in
kforms them that there is any such party in

king in his boots" at the evident signs of the
tlmes even in Minnesota, and he cries out lust
ally upon the Minncsotian to stop abusing the
4. administration. Why, ncighbor, we have done
Enothing of the kind The truth has not hall

Esstating facts, but we now intend to bring them
Ssall out in regular order. as fast as we can get

: Again: Which of these two following acts of

9edta ever had. merely because he was found to be

&touchng a question of great moment to our
Spcople, or the retention in Office of Gov. Cor
man. who, if we are to believe what the Dem
ocrat says OF him. is STEPPED in corruption and
3venality to his very lips? Yet the Democrat
must, if its sentiments arc consistent with its
professions. admire and eulogise both these
acts and determinations of the President. We
1shouid like to see how the editor is going TO
Iget around all this with any degree Of snccri-
Ely Oil his own part. or respect for these of his
READERS who arc honest and straight forward
men. Warren was wrongfully removed but
could not be reinstated-Gorman cannot be re-
moved-both acts are supposed to be the very
antipodcs of the Democrats will and wish
and yet it shouts aloud. "Glory to Franklin
Pierce and his administration !" The Admin

invasion and conquest of Kanzas, yet in the
eyes Of the Democrat it is most pure and holy
