nor Of Minnesota ~ in fix. On the assem-
bling of the Legislature, Governor German
refused to delivered his message, for the reason,
as was supposed, that the Constitution made it
obligatory Immediately thereafter to elect a
pubic printer, and the choice of the mem
bcrs, 1t was understood, was in favor of u
paper imposed to his Excellency. Suisse
qucntly he consented to send in his message.
and then the Legislature declined TO receive it
on the supposed ground that they are expect
ing new Governor along to take Governor
Germans place. His message however, leal,
ed out, and was printed in all papers, while
up to the 18th. 1t had not been officially de-
lvered. We learn from the Minnisotlan of
the 10Th instant, that man by the name of
Collins, an auctioneer of st. Paul, called on
Governor German upon business, in the course
of which an alteration ensued, which ended
by the Governor knocking Collins down

in the Free Press, several days since, of
statement, at the request and on the author
ity Of certain citizens of Willston whose
names were given, cautioning the public
against employing one John Brown, and
charging him with dishonesty, we have been
waited on by Rev, z. II. Brown, n rcspcc-
table and worthy Methodist Clergyman, of
Nilliston. who informs us, that the young
manin question is his son, that no proof what
ever of the charges against him has been ad-
duced, and that many of the best citizens of
Williston agree with him in the belief that
the authors of the statement are at least mis-
taken, aud that gross injustice has been done
the young man, in this whole matter. We
nra glad to know that there are two sides to
the affair. If our paper has been the me
dunn of injustice, none can regret it moro
than we. We give tits counter statement
most willingly, and request any pancr West
