Ep1roR PtoNEER:-An article under this
caption appears in the Mmnesotian of the
9th, of grossly personal and libellous
character, ard although no name is men-
toned in the article alluded to- it obviously
has reference to me, as | am the person
connected with the Pioneer Office, whose
name was used at a meeting of the citizens
of the First Representative District, as a
candidate for the House of Representa-
tives.
In the eyes of the consistent practical .
Maine Law man who presides over the
columns of that sheet, this was great
crime, and straightway he applies to me all
manner of spiteful and contemptuous cpl
thets, whilst charging me with the author
ship of an article against the Republican
candidate in that District, for the Legisla-
ture, Mr.. KNAUFT; at the same time know
ing it to be a base lie.
He charges me, in the first place, with
"aspiring to seat in the Legislature al
though knowing it to be false, and purely
an invention of his own He very well
knew at the time, that my name was brought
forward by my friends without any solicita-
tion whatever, at the meeting held las;
Monday evening.
B It even if these things were true, he
had no right, and it was gross violation
of all rules of the craft amongst gentlemen,
for him to go behind the editor of the pa
per, whose name appears at the head of the
editorial columns, and who is responsible for
all that appears in his paper as editorial
and no gentleman or man with the least
sense of honOr or honesty left in his other
wise depraved heart, would be guilty of at
tacking in such . venomous and Spitef,
manner, il person who has never injured him
in any way whatever; and who, humble as he
is, would scorn the thought of being guilty
of such contemplate meanncsS as the editor
of the Minnesotian has, in this matter, been
capable of.
And now, in conclusion, do not wish
this reracious Editor to suppose for single
moment, that | am IN Ter the impress
sion that anything that he can say will in
jure me in this community, or that care
anything about his good opinion. On the
contrary, | am pleased to know that he is
not friend, for his Friendship would be an
inhiction upon me, to merit which | have
done nothing sufficiently mean, and hope
never will; and it was not with this view
that | asked of him on Thursday, as "A mat
ter Of justice to me-a retractioE of his
charge-n consequence Of which request,
he makes partial one in yesterdays Mn
nes0tian
For this trespass upon the attention OF
the readers of the PIONEER, crave their
indulgence, believing it will be kindly grant
ed. Whilst residing in Minnesota | have
found, at least, few friends who have
manifested their feelings in words Of encou
ragement, aye, and more than that, iii
deeds, i in generous, manly and noble acts
1t is the good opinion Of such men that
still hope to retain.
