GREAT RUN ON BORUP L CAKES BANK.
For the past two days, several persons from
abroad, have been occupying their time in buy
ing up the old issues of Messrs. Borup& Cakes
for gold, and presenting them at their counter
for payment. At first they were paid in gold,
but exhibiting a childish spirit in refusing SOW
eregns and determined to annoy the Teller, by
presenting one and two dollar bills at a time,
Messrs. B. & o. concluded they had nothing
else to do, and commenced paying them in three
cent pieces, lawful money of the United States,
which was just what they demanded. In this
way the Bank has paid out about $4,000 in t,co
days. The gentlemen have employed Nota-
ry Public who accompanies them, and if they
pay So, 90 per day for board, like other people,
and receive silver for that which they paid gold,
"we, kinder calculate" as the Yankee said
that by the time they get through, they will find
this running on the Bank, an Improbable affair.
The whole thing reminds US of the quarrel be-
tween two boys: "Well,' said one, ''if can't
whip you, will make shapes at your sister"
and this run on the Bank is nothing more nor
less than making "shapes" at the proprietors.
It's small business.

The absurdity and folly of the Times PROPOSE
ton to buy ''that bluf'' was apparent, and its
reason so nimsy and foolish, that we did not deem
it necessary to attach an undue Importance to
the matter, by noticing the comparison.
1.-THE absurdity and folly of both the Dem
ocrat and the Minnesotian, have already been
set forth in our columns in the palpable igno-
nance the editors of these two prints exhibited
in the discussion of this subject, neither Of them
being sufficiently acquainted with geography to
tell whether New Haven was an Finland
village" or commercial city. Go to school,
ignoramuses, and when you get posted, we
will talk with you.
But, we did not expect the cooperation in our
efforts to preserve that bluff for the People, of
those editors whose only object~is to make
money-who carry upon their visages the i'm
press Of sixpences; but we did expect to arouse
the better feelings Of human nature in others,
and we have succeeded. To-day there are not
twenty men in the whole city of St. Paul, but
who would be glad to see that Bluff preserved,
could it be done, but our cotemporaries true to
their instincts, of unfolding and defending
capital to the detriment Of the People, affect a
sheer at our humble efforts, and to pass the
matter off as "jolxo." All we asked was
three hundred yards of promenade out of four
miles of Levee, and yet there are men to be
found even in high places in this city, too sell
fish to grant this. Very well, pocket your
dollars and chuckle over your luck-you can't
live always, and when you die, you can't carry
your money with you. Thank God for that

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.

1t is well known to most of our readers in
this city and St. Anthony, that Hungarian gen.
teman by the name of Wisenberger, who pur-
chased several hundred acres of land in our
Territory, and laid out a town on the Missis-
sippi river above St. Anthony, contemplated
opening in this city, in company with a young
man from Boston, large Wholesale Grocery
and Provision Store. To this end he visited
St. Louis for the purpose of purchasing goods,
but finding that he could do better in Cincin-
natl, he visited that city, with between So 900
and $1,000 in cash. Here the money was sto-
len from him, it is supposed by some one who
tracked him from St. Louis, and who doubtless
knew he had money in his possession. This
unexpected draft on MI. Wisenberger's pocket
has disconnected all his plans, and will account
for his non-appearance at St. Paul according
to his promises. We have conversed with gen.
tlemen here and elsewhere, as to the character
and standing Of Mr.. Wisenberger, and all
unite in placing him in the front rank, as an
honest, worthy, intelligent gentleman. We
trust that he will be enabled 10 recover the
stolen money and to return to our Territory and
carry out his plans for from what we know of
him and his antecedents, we do not hesitate to
express our belief that he would make valua-
Bile and most excellent citizen. Any further
information concerning him will be chcerfully
given by calling on Mr.. Regally, Jeweler, over
Elfelts store, St. Anthony ST., st. Paul.

RAWLINGS OF THE SATANIC,


1t is as impossible for the Satanic of this city
to treat its political opponents with decency, as
is for it to tell the truth. In both cases it goes
beyond its prototype, the New York Herald,
and generally seasons the dish so highly that
even its warmest friends gag at the dose and
protest against its nauseous qualities. Why,
neighbor, it is just as impossible for you to con
vince the people of this Territory that Slavery
is a blessing and that those who uphold it and
those who advocated the breaking of the Nilsson
ri Compromise, are little gods, as it is for you
to convince sensible, reasonable, intelligent
men, that the eloquent Senator from Massa-
chusetts, is in favor of one or any of the oharg-
es you prefer against him. You seek to saddle
the shortcomings of Massachusetts, on the shoul-
ders of Mr.. Sumner, in hopes thereby to crush
him, but like young and spirited animal,
whose exuberance of feelings spring from a
consciousness of its power, he will throw you
and your co-workers so deep into the mire that
not even the hand of the resurrection can raise
you. You talk Of Mr.. Sumner "giving 10 Hiss
perfect freedomr' Where's Benjamin F. But
Ter, your great Democratic luminary, who pro-
tested against the expulsion of Mr.. Hiss from
the Massachusetts, Legislature and whose SYM
pathy for mistress Patterson" was so great
that he almost shed tears! You are pretty
one to talk about Sumner and Hiss and "free-
DOM"
Mr. Satanic, take little of our advice
never seek to disparage the claims of your po-
litical opponents by misrepresentation. A little
decency sometimes goes a good ways, and he
who exercises it will be more sure to win than
he who does not. Mr.. Sumner is high-min-
ded, honorable gentleman, and if he differs with
Shields and Breckenridge on the Nebraska
question, or even the Democrat, it does not fol-
low that he should therefore be besmeared with
filth, and such filth as usually emanates from
the rabid mouth of the Satanic. Bah!

A CHANGE.

The shareholders have changed their tactics Of
late, to suit their ever growing lust Of power
The great mass of them, till lately, never dreamed
of j~ustifying slavery by wholesale, in all time and
space. 1t was only here and there a bold polii-
clan like Calhoun or McDufie, or some reckless
Doctor of Divinity who affirmed the divine right.
fulness of slavery-that it had rightful existence
by nature and common law. Such men were CON
sidered moral dosperadoes, and the extravaganza
of their claims excited only the derision of the
mass of the people. But these farseeing apostles
of slavery have pushed their opinions with Zeal
and industry, and their converts have multiplied
by thousands, till now it is the settled orthodoxy OF
the Church south, Of tie Southern States and of
the National Government. The idea that slavery
is dependent upon local law for its existence,
though such has heretofore been the ruling opinion
Of tie country, and the decision of the courts
North and South, is now spurned as utterly unten-
able ground, as utterly inadequate to press slavery
into new Territory, to justify the fllibustering of
our c~ovetous government and to reestablish slavery
in Pennsylvania, New York and New England
And this opinion is fast getting the sanction Of the
highest Legislative and Judicial decisions of the
country. The National Executive recognises it in
the foreign diplomacy of the country and the home
administration. Congress recognized it in the pas
says of the fugitive slave Jill and the Nebraska
bill. The National Judiciary recognises and as
serts it, when her Judges "know no reason" why
"a North Carolina citizen has not equal right to a
mother and her children in Pennsylvania, "as to
his overcoat or carpet sack"
Such are the pretensions of slavery to-day. 1t
is of divine right and authority. 1t has its origin
in nature and may fearlessly plant itself where it
pleases by virtue Of the Common Law Of Nations.
All compromises on the part of Shareholders are at
an end. This new position of slavery demands a
corresponding position on the part of its oppo-
nents. That opposition which comedies its right.
full constitutional existence in the slave States and
agrees to abide by that constitution, is utterly be,
hind the demands Of the present conflict. Such
a compact must Je at once repudiated, and that
Reputation and the adoption in its place Of
emancipation to the slaves and protection
of the liberties Of all made the only condition OF
future union in our Government. We see no 9th
er method of meeting these new pretensions of the
shareholders. With them it is no idle talk. The
are pressing them with vigor and full determine.
ton that they shall eventuate in the final establish.
ment of slavery in every part of the confederacy.
