| Now, the President did prove traitor on the
last ballot He voted for W. A. Davis every time
and if you desire TO know the reason why, it was be-
cause he thought he was the best man, and not be-
cause he an OlmstCd man, anything OF the
kind. No! because Mr.. Apgar is good man as
far am informed, but because Mr.. Davis has had
some experience as a legislator, and in my view Of
the would do us better justice than who
farmer by occupation and made that his whole bus
mess. And now If have answered all that intcn-

anything, those who present at the convention
will do me Justice TO mention what have omitted.

SHAKorEE, Sept. IL, 1855.
| MIR. EDlroH--Sr:-As the Democrat has made
such cgregiOus Misrepresentation in relation to the
German meeting held Shak0pee, the 9th
inst, viii give you Il correct statement of facts as
l have learned them from several individuals who
were present Oh the ground. The meeting having
been called TO order, siXtyone persons found to
be present, when Mr.. Yost called to the Chair,
and Mr. Reis appointed Secretary. Mr.. Yost then
commenced to address the meeting, when buggy
drove up, containing l.. Nj. Brown, Esq, and Ger
man from St. Paul. The said German exhibited a
ing of whisky, which he declared was Rice whisky,
and which he was very urgent that the other Ger
Minis should partake of. When Mr.. Yost recon.
menced his remarks he was continual, interrupted
by the contradictions Of the St. Paul German. The
other Germans on the ground frequently requested
INN t" cease his interruptions, and at last, torbear-
ance ceasng 10 be virtue, they informed the said
German that unless he left the ground Immediately,
his horse and carriage would he taken to Shakopee,
and he WanH ha con,uolind cto foot
Thinking prudence the better part OF valor, he
cinded TO leave, and did leave.
We do not know how his friend MIR. Brown got
home for he kept remarkably silent and docile, ow
ing we suppose, TO his ignorance of the language for
could he have spoken the German tongue he certain
iy would have made display of his we'll known and
selt-appreciated eoquence.
After the parties had left, Mr. Yost again proceeI
ed with his remarks, and when the meeting adjourn
ed 1t was found that every of the sixty per-
sons present intended to vote for &c DAVE" MIR.
Sirunk was present during the whole meeting, and
never interrupted by word.
by The way, that rich sc get up - in the
Democrat in re atiOn 10 the caechism of Strunk by
Brown, in the Democratic Convention. The young
gentleman who renned that article, and who wants
to get on ticket for the Leg sure to be ''swapped
of" by his Rice friends, they have done of yore,
should have curb placed upon his intellect for fear
that It's rapid spoutng qualities may cause brain le
yer. No such catechsm-no such conversation ever
took place. Bring forward your proof, you say
you can, ,e sapient editors Of the Democrat. No
backing ont We hold you to your promises, and If
you fail to produce them, stamp your declarations in
relation TO the meeting mentioned above as false
hoods.
Let J. hire his fug!enan in Shakopee to invest-
gate the matter. Let It's have the proof-the proofs
which you were willing to offer in the same pa
FER which contained the vIIainous account of the
meeting of the Democratic Council Convention Tor
Rice and Scott counties SCOTT
For the Pioneer.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Thc wiseacre of the North West
ern Democrat, in his issue of Sept. lst has seen fit
10 face his columns with notice for convention
call of the Democrats Of Scott and Rice county-and
then 10 indulge in contemplate personal datribe
the three first names attached to said notion. In
word, MIR. Editor, will say that the position
med by the fugemau Of the above named organ is I'M
tenabe. Since last year the Council districts have
been changed, and the Council district composed Of
scott and Rice without an organization. If
Mr. l.. NJ Brown was the committeeman appointed
ny 'ne Democracy last year, he does not appear with
the Democracy this year.
On the other hand, he the said l.. NJ. Brown did
sit IN the convention Of July 25th by an objectionable
act of fraud, the product Of his brain and hand
and there saw the national Democracy Kissed, the
platform OF the national Democracy tlampled under
foot, and all democratic usages and principles disgra
ced; and then and there, when the old fashioned de-
mocracy shook the dust from their feet testimo-
ny against the Rice faction and the despOiers of
time honored usages and principles, he demo-
crat 60 had not the magnanimity to move with his
brethren, but rather chose to sit back, the willing
tool OF the faction of Rice and Know Nothngi ISM
He the said Blown, the same evening, saying that
he was disguised with the proceedings and took no
part in them.
7 This being the case,--he, Brown, refusing to act
with the Rice X. N. clique, and not participating in
the Democratic organization at the capitol, left the
I Dem0cfacV OF Scott wi hout n
The democracy therefore selected n committee. and
under whose call they will rally ~.
The committee named Olmsted mcn aud true
democrats, and are recognized at home and will be
abroad-and as democrats published the calf, in a
democratic paper, calling the Democratic electors
to choose delegates, sc.
7 Now, il Mr.. Brown wants call Rice Know
Nothing Convention he can--no will complain.
But 1t must be done under its own proper coIors and
not in the name Of the democracy he has dsgraced.
AGAIN, when MIR. Brown has the manhood to make
his complaint, sma II antidote is IA store in the Say
OF review Of himself. l,ut of that by-and-by. The
st. Paul and ~ w. Democrat (?) are wide of the
mark, and intelligence of the settlers in the log cab
in homes OF Scott county, when they predict that the
Rice anaticisms the democratic usages and prin
ciples OF the party. The Democrats Of Scott and
Rice have looked in vain for platform Of principles
! in either sheet that savors of Democracy Nothing
save personal laudations of Rice and tissues Of false
hoods well told meet their gaze there. ---
! This they will not endure, but will rally around
DAVID OLMsTED and the Democratic standard,
and fight the Of the masses against the hungry
specializing crew of Wisconsin Lake Superior Rice
and his hirelings.
we have not word to say by way OF endorsing
the gentlemen OF the democratic committee. They
are known at home as tried democrats, and enjoy
the confidence OF the democracy. .,,r,.
