AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

We are glad to find our neighbors OF the Min
nesotian and the Democrat, in unison with the
TINES on one subject, and that subject of vital
importance to the prosperity of our Territory,
and of great importance to our city. We alIude
TO an Agricultural Fair. The Minncsoian en-
dorses the proposition of Mr.. Furber, and adds:
Give hundred is trihing amount to raise
IN this city for such Il purpose, and should be
taken up IN halt day. even in these tight times
The Democrat is anxious to see the amount
raised, and says:
awe have not the least doubt the sum can be
raised, if the matter is taken in hand by num-
her OF our citizens. For what Mr.. f. has done,
he deserves the thanks of every one of our citi-
zens, both in St. Paul and throughout the Ter
rltory. There are many residents of St. Paul,
who ii called on by Ward Committees, appoint
ed for that purpose-say by Mr.. Furbcr-would
head a subscription list with liberal sum-
In view OF this unanimity of feeling among
the editors of the Press, we see nothing to him
der the success of the enterprise, unless our cit
izens are determined to stand in their own light.
Let lis have that $500 at once.
VINO WAS RIGHr!-Last winter, it will be
remembered, the Democrat and Minnesotian of
this city were continually informing their read
CTS that Gen. Shields, Breckenridge and other
notablcs had been appointed Governor of Min
ncsota in place of Willis A. German, removed.
The TINES declared that these stories were
iabrications, circulated for the purpose of iniur-
ing his Excellency, and for this declaration We
visited with perfect flood of falsehoods,
such as, the Times was the organ of Gov Cor
man-Gov. German owned the Times. Now
see how beautifully Time dcvelopes all these
matters. Gov. German has not been removed,
and the very Press which was loudest in assert
ing that he was, very complacently eats its own
words, in the following beautiful manner:
HGovERNORsHIP OF MNNEsorA.-Many of our
readers, and persons in the East, have been mis-
led by the press, by connection of Mr. Breck-
enridge's name with this Office. 1t was rumored
he had been appointed to supercedc the present
incumbent. Such is not the case. Mr.. B. is per-
manently located in Kentucky, where he intends
pursuing the practice Of his professions and is
now in our Territory, merely on n visit to his
friends"
Now, we ask, what reliance can be placed
on a paper which is thus continually misleading
its readers! Can any! Such kind of chickens
always come home to roost, and we think by this
time the Democrat editor must have COOP
full
PooR ArcHrNsoN.-The Satanic of this CITY
has cast him off Notwithstanding he is good
Democrat, and firm supporter of Douglas and
his iniquity,-notwithstan he was petted
and fattered by the Great Northern Democrat.
ic Luminary (the St. Paul Satanic) yet poor
fellow he is now anoat-the Satanic has cut
him. What wiH he do?-wherc ,cM he go2
But just read in what summary manner the
Satanic dsposes Of this "arch demagogue:T
THAT arch demagogue, Atkinson, has de-
parted from the faith and abandoned the party
which gave him all the reputation which he
bears, disgraced the connection which he has
had with it, and given himself over into the
hands of a secret order to become its vilest in.
slrumen."
We pity any one who falls under the power
ful displeasure of the Satanic, and we can't help
but sympathisc with Atkinson, German, and
others who have dared to differ with the rene
gade editor of a very pseudo-Democratic sheet.
Poor Atkinson. He never will again become
President of so august body as the Senate of
the United States-he has incurred the ill.will
of the Northern Satanic, and his political pros.
poets arc now and forever blasted. Poor At
Crimson. s--
cy The editor of the Troy Times has been
sued by a Mr.. Wood for Islander, and the DANA
ges laid at $4,000. The offence of the Times
consisted in asserting that Mrs. Robinson, the muir
deress. was sister of Mr.. Wood, after he made
affidavit that she was not.
MINISTER FOR SALE.-There is an advertise
ment in Kentucky paper of one for sale. lie
was slave to a man recently deceased. 1t i:
stated in the advertisement that he holds icens,
to preach. Churches in want of pastor viii
take notice.

her Russian experience in o book says, once on
