ing very respectable typographical appear
ance. 1t is now the size OF its Weekly, and
printed on larger type than before. Everything
about it looks well.-Pioneer Of Friday.
A grand mistake, neighbor. Our Daily is
now very near the size of your Weekly, but our
own Weekly contains some eight columns more
reading matter than our Daily, and considcra-
bic more than the Weekly Pioneer. The truth
of history demands that we should make this
correction.

FOURTH OF JULy.-Thc Democrat is g in -
for a Fourth Of July Celebration at St. Paul, if
such Celebration can be had by the citizens,
but if not, it proposes ''real old-faslioned
Democratic Celebration.' We insist that it is
wrong to disinter the carcas Of defunct party
on that day. 1t would be injurious to health,
and the stencil would be much more obnoxious
than that which arises from under the Bluff.
No, Mr.. Democrat, don't innict such an injury
on the community on the natal day OF Free
dom. Wait until cold weather. Bury party
spirit with your party, and let us be united at
least one day in the year in singing Pens to
the memory Of those who achieved our Liberty.

CoNvrnrED TO FREEDoM.-A young moth
er residing in this city, who was born in the
South, and whose associations have always been
with the ''peculiar institution" and who has
labored zealously on every occasion to defend
Slavery, was sitting few days since gazing
on the innocent face of her child, when the idea
forced itself upon her--"what if my child should
be taken away and sold into Slavery-what if
/ should be separated from it." The very
thought brought tears to the eyes and'the ma
ternal bosom heaved with emotion. "No!'
she exclaimed rising and stamping her foot, Il
will no longer defend Slavery. ! can never
sustain cause which justiies the separation
of husbands, wives and children. From this

ifi9 TERRIToRrAL FAIn.--We are glad to find
ithe Democrat coincding with the TtMEs on
the propriety of holding Territorial Fair AS
this is II matter in which politics can take llo
part, we trust there will be a sufliecntunaninl-
ity on the part Of our citizens toget up such a
ildlair as will do credit to the Territory. AS
yet ST. Paul has contributed but TwENrY-FrvE
Dollars towards the enterprize. Shame!- She
| should contribute $10O0, and this is all that is
asked. Do our citizens fememberlthe Henhe-
pin. County Fair? Do they remember the
I great benefits which accrued to Minneapolis by
that Fair? If they do, let them be up and do.
! ing. We think if the Committee will make
one more effort in St. Paul. $500 can be easi.
ly raised, if not $1,000. by all means let us
have Territorial Fair, and let that Fair be
! held at St. Paul. s-lrtl 9eli.- 'a- "iii!

WE DIFFER.-THAr's ALL.

A writer in the Democrat of Thursday even
ing, WHO'S doubtless one Of the proprietors Of
the Bluff in St. Anthony ST. and who is anxious
that the land should be built upon, sashes at
us in the following manner:
"Thc section Of St. Paul which the editor of
the Times would ago his pile to secure to the
public is destined to be in the very midst OF a
great commercial city; surrounded by blocks OF
warehouses, commission stores, groceries, ana
all the attendants upon Il heavy commerce, 1t
will be far from being a desirable place for a
public promenade, unless TO the romantic palr,
who can take pleasure in the sweet odor arising
from dirty wharycs, dirty steamboats,, and dirty
warehouses; or the delicious music produced
by the runbling OF drays, wagons, carts and 9TH
er vehicles. .,-,haL .4f tI upaHu
That's Just where we differ. If the proper
" is purchased at all, it should he purchased
from tie river up to even with St. Anthony ST.,
and from the Post Office to the junction of
ST. Anthony and Prince streets. There would
be no buildings on this land unless they were
places OF amusement and refreshments, and con-
sequen,ly there could be 10 ,.sweet odor aris-
ing from dirty wharyes, dirty steamboats,, Or
dirty warehouses" Below and above this point
there would be plenty Of room for the business
warehouses of "a commercial metropolis, and
ample room for landing steamboats,. The very
fact that this promenade would be surrounded
By blocks Of warehouses, commission stores,
groceries" Sc. is to us one of its best features,
for then it would be like an oasis in the desert
a place where the tired business man could
regale himself. for few hours without tramp
ing half Il day in the sun TO enjoy the cool
shade of a tree.
If the proprietors Of the land are determined
TO get 500 per foot, and thereby make thous-
ands Of dollars by the operation, why they are
different persons from what we took them TO be-;
hut if they are willing to sell at small ad-
vance for the sake of the city, why we feel
very confident that the land can be bought.
We raise no objection TO a Park son the
summit of the Bluff ives, Of St. Anthony ST."
but our .'pile,' small though it be- we propose
TO devote to the purchase of the Bluff under
discussion, and no other. We consider that
pre-eminently the best spot the city can secure.
When that question is settled we will consid-
or the propriety of giving in another direction

AMERICAN STATE AND PARISH TICKET.


To the American State Ticket, which has
appeared in our columns for several weeks, we
this morning append the Parish Ticket The
latter is not yet entirely complete, but it will
be made so in due and proper season.
To say we are proud of the ticket would be
the commonest sort of affectation, for we regard
it as enc of the best, safest and soundest ever
presented to the American people for their suf-
frages. From its head to it's foot the names
inscribed upon it belong to good, true and pa
trioto men. We do not know Of one who cam
not challenge the severest scrutiny as to chars
acter, intelligence, honesty, patriotism, and de-
votion to the best interests Of the country and
city. =--EH sN".z
Being fully impressed with this conviction, it
is needless for us to state that we heartily de-
sire the triumph Of our ticket, or that we be.
lieve brilliant victory awaits it in November
next. No one will question the sincerity of the
aforesaid desire and belief.
As occasion may serve, we shall take up the
various names on the ticketand give an account
Of the qualities and claims of the persons they
belong to- We think we can make out several
very interesting and valuable narratives
