NOT So.-The edition of the North Western
Democrat, should bear in mind that we have not
used the language he attributes to us when speak
ing of MIR. Fridley. The word 6 liar % has been
used only when speaking of our amiable friend
of the Minnesotian, whom we think deserves it.
We have no recollection of calling Mr.. Fridley
either "liar or scoundrel," although we may
have thought so. If We have been guilty of the
charge, produce the article. We have stated in
plain language what we thought of Mr.. Fridley,
and our reasons for so doing, and we shall do so
again, and are perfectly willing to father what
belongs to us, but we insist that it is not fair to
make us responsible for language We never used.
Now as to Mr.. Fridley, the TINES claims that it
has been perfectly consistent with him. Previous
to the election Mr.. Fridley made pledges to the
party which elected him, and subsequently viola.
ted those pledges. If he denies this we will prove
it. When the TINES advocated the claim of Mr..
Fridley, it took him to be a man of his word
but as soon as it ascertained such was not the
fact, it turned against him. Was this not consis-
tent? BUTT was not simply because MIR. Fridley
had turned 'raitor, that the TINES denounced him,
but because other charges of serious nature
were brought against him whi,h he has not vet
cleared up. The very act of charging $500 for
hanging an Indian, was sufficient to condemn
him, besides innumerable acts while in the capac-
ity Of Indian agent which has never yet reached
the light. Before the election we were led to be.
lieve that Mr.. Fridley was an upright, honorable
man; and we only regret that we were deceived,
but schen deceived, we would have no further fell
lowship with him. If this is not consistent, tell
us what is !?
The editor of the Democrat talks great deal
OF the independence of editors, but for the life of
US VIC cannot discern the first ingredient in his
character. Sir, We tell you the only way to re-
move "the political vagrant" to whom you refer,
is for the press to come out at-footed, and tell
the truth. This treading on roses and walking
around stumps may be we'll enough for those who
live by the patronage of their party, but to be
truly independent is to say what you know and
say it boldly.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT.

A Washington correspondent Of the N. Y. Her
aid, states that our Government has received let
ter from the Emperor of Russia, setting forth
that organization is on foot in Europe, encour-
aged by France and England, for the purpose Of
defeating the aggressive march of the United
States towards the acquisition of Cuba The in
formation of the organization is derived through
secret spies that Russia has in Europe. The cor
respondent adds that the President, Douglas,
Mason and Marcy have had a consultation over
the matter, and had come to the conclusion not to
alarm the country by making the matter public.
This all may be true, but we do not believe q

VI. TIE MARINE COURT.
DEC. IA mott for . mandamus against the Clerk
and Judges Of the Marine Court made 10 the matter
OF John White for the purpose Of compelling the issuing
OF an execution upon Judgment in the Marine Court
The judgment was appealed to the general term of the
Common Pleas from single Justice, and there reversed.
The re'ator, White by his counsel Mr.. George Shea,
now moves for mandamus, on the ground that the
legislation OF lSb3 touching appeals Gin the Marine
Court tupersedes that which was formerly prescribed
by the Code and therefore asks that, the Clerk and
justices Of the Marine Court upon application duly
mace to them refused to issue execution thereon and
as the ssid appeal nulity, that they be compelled
TO Issue execution.
Mr.. Busted opposed the motion. Judge Birdssn ap-
peared and stated that hs willing to obey the mandate
Of this court that he concurred fully In views
exp's~sc by Mr. Shea in his argument, but taAt he
