Minnesota weekly times. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1854-1859, 1855-03-20


eY'We beg pardon of our readers for deroting
SO much of our paper to-day to the following arti-
cles from the pen Of one of the most unprinc:pled
editors in the West, hut inasmuch as the Mime
sotian has a limited circulation, we give the In
f.rnal the benefit of our columns. If these ari-
ces do not show the basencss of the man, then
anything we can say, will be of no use. We
leave them to the intelligent consideration Of our
readers:
Is Gov. German a "Fusionist!"
1t is a we'll known fact, that the Times news-
paper of st. Paul, is the confidential organ of
Gov. German. Whenever the Governor wishes
to consult a st. Paul editor, and lay any plans
or views before the public through the channel Of
the press, he sends for the editor Of the Times
and his behests arc obcyed with all the readiness
Of command given from master to slave. Let any
man differ with the Governor upon any question
Of public policy-let any citizen dare to Grass the
path Of the Governor in any slight particular,
public or private -and forth the thunders of the
Times are launched upon the head of the offender.
Only few days since, sundry Of the most respect
able citizens of St. Anthony with whom it is
well known we did not and do not agree in regard
TO the division of Ramsey,) were denounced by the
Times as demagogues, for taking independent
stand against the Governor, And only on Satur-
day, George F. B.ott, tine president of the st. An
thony meeting, was characterized as a'"poOr de-
lule1 fellow" for daring to speak what he thought
Of Gov. German.
For all this the Times gets svalue received"
The Governors money and patronage are lavish
cd upon it to keep its Pickering light from expi-
ring; and from day to day, AMI from month to
month the Executive hand is put forth to support
an sustain the Timcs.-hternol Of March l2th
CT Since our article upon Gov. Germans
ssFusionism,' we hear no more in favor of Re-
publicansm from the Times, and it is probable
we will not. The Governor and Secretary have
become alarmed about the matter, and have shut
of the Republican pipe of their organ 1t has
now all the appearance of good Administra-
tion-slavery- extension sheet, which position we
presume it will hold for the time being, at least.
--Iyermal Of the 18th.
Ey' The Times, its correspondents, owners,
and masters are blowing loud horn for the re-
moval of the seat of Government from St. Paul
to St. Pcters-Governor Germans paper town up
the Minnesota. So then, the anti-rallroad gam
blers are beginning to show their hand at last !
Internal Of The 18th.
gy' The only ''independent press of st. Paul''
copies the report adopted by the Board of
Trade, but has not a word to say, and dare not
say word, against the public evil so graphically
and truthfuly set forth in the report. Oh, indie
pendencc, where are you ?-Infernal Of the 18th.
Thus falsehood upon falschood has been piled
up by John p. Owens, until he has gained the
weli-carned sobriquct of the Walking Dictionary
of Lies. No body believes him no body respects
hSn--and whatever emanates from his pen tends
not to purify society. but to corrupt it. \ char
acter SO well known deserves not half the at
tcnticn we have given him, hence, lattcrly, we
have let him run the full length of his string,
somewhat curious to know where he would stop.
Whoever INDUCES in warfare with him, will
most certainly become bcsmeared with filth, for
the source from whence he draws it, overspreads.
and pcrmcates every fibre Of his system. Go on.
thou poor, miserable dotard! There is not
strength enough in your bow, nor poison enough
on the tips OF your arrows, to affect the injury
YOU seek. You are harmless. Your manhood is
gone-your name is stencil in the nostrils of
honest men. You crawl over Gods fair earth
like the poisonous serpent, whose Shiny body
leaves pollution behind, but your toothless fangs
are powerless. Unprincirled, unmanly, devoid
of decency, stranger to truth, an outcast from
society, low mcnal who does the bidding of his
master, and receives in return glass; of whisky,
whose very countenance has stamped upon it
''petty larcency," who delights in corruption and
laughs at Virtue, who would undermine and de-
stroy our free institutions for the paltry sum of
one dollar,-you have done more to corrupt So
cicty and keep it corrupted, than even the arch
hcnd Of Pandemonium, in whose services you are
engaged. Your career will soon be run, and like
others before you. you will sink into an gno-
mious grave, but society will meet with no loss.
Truth and Virtue will smile and Decency will re-
joice.
