A Veteran Gone.

There is no surer evidence that St. Paul
10 progressist of the first order, than is to
be found in the fact that all her small be-
ginnings in the way of a village, are being
voted ancient. Places and things that to
the pioneer settler awaken many and various
recollections, are yielding place to the limo
vations which are the order of the present
day. and the time is not far distant when the
"oldest inhabitants" will have to tax their
memory for landmarks because the places
that knew them once will be no more.
Those who were here in l849, cannot
fail to remember a log shanty which stood
upon the bluff at the foot of Third street,
below the present Merchants Hotel. 1t
was very unpretending structure, being
scarcely one story high, and not at oil re-
markable for capacity-yet it was in the
early days of st. Paul. great place of at
traction for politicians, 6oms viramts, village
gossips, and others of oil conditions, and
held quite conspicuous position among the
neighboring tenements, Of which in truth,
there were remarkably few during that
year-the small log house at the corner of
Third and jackson streets, which is still
preserved As q part Of the Merchants Ho-
tel, being its next door neighbor. The eff
forts of Judge Goodrich have saved the
latter, because within its walls the Terrific
rial Government was organized, and it still
remains, though concealed by modern i'm.
provements-but the old log saloon is
doomed, it seems, for we observed, yester
day, that the roof had been removed, and
preparations going on to tear the whole
fabric to pieces. Well, let it 60. Apart
from its age and some associations Of mixed
good and evil, the latter predominating we
fear, it had no claim to be allowed to stand
Of late it has been in very bad odor, and
looked most wretchedly in the vicinity Of
more modern and better buildings. An en-
terprising individual has, we learn, made 9
speculation in the logs, with the view Of
converting them into frewood. And thus
passeth away another relic of infant St.
Paul.

The old settlers of the Territory from
one end of it to the other, will not need to
be told anything of DAVID OLMsrED, the
present Democratic nominee for Delegate
to Congress. Not only his private but his
political life, are familiar to them, and we
venture nothing when we say that he is es-
tesmed by all for his long tried probity and
consistency in both. His modest and re-
firing disposition may not have placed him
so conspicuously before the people of the
Territory of late, as some others who ear
nestly sought the peoples gifts and favor,
but his name and reputation are broad
spread, and favorably recognised even
among the new corners among u.s.
A Democrat of the strictest character,
firm, undertaking and progressive-posses-
sed of all the qualities which go to make a
competent legislator instructed in the ways
of legislative bodies-bold but prudent
possessed Of the power of winning and re-
tanning friends, and in the full flush of life,
he combines all that could he desired in
candidate, by the people of the Territory
at large, and bis merits will bear the closest
scrutiny.
Mr. OLxsrED has always been an active
member of the Democratic party from the
beginning Of its existence here, and he has
by general consent been recognised as one
its most approved and reliable leaders. He
has never faltered in his duty towards it,
but both with voice and pen has sought
earnestly to promote its interests. No
temptation has ever led him aside, and we
point to him proudly as being one against
whom no charge Of political or other cor
ruption can be made.
He is before the people on the old Dem
ocratic track, and the prospect is bright in
his behalf. The people of Minnesota, the
Democracy especially, will honor themselves
and do justice to him by sending him as
their next Delegate to Congress.
