WHArsIN THE WIND!-The Southern Min.
neso,a Herald has taken down from the head
of its column, the name of Henry NJ. Rice
The reason assigned on the street is that Mr.
Rice was instrumental in causing proclama-
tion to be issued by the President throwing the
lands into market, and then, when it was like
ly to injure his political prospects, of endeavor-
ing to prevent the sale by circulating petitions.
The Herald didn't like the double game, and
hence down came the banner of H. NJ. RICE.
We begin to think, there's God in Israel.

OMINous OF Ills FArE.--The La Crosse Repub-

is struck on bar in Black River Lake between
here and Onalaska. This may be ominous of the

sotn.'
1t is somewhat singular that boat on the Up

consequence of the lowness of the water.

FALSEHOOD NO. ii,

&c The bill granting the lands in question did
6 not at any time contain a clause that it should
G. be 6 submitted to future Legislature there
g >" as the records of Congress on the subject
" will abundantly show. Whether it did or not is
Sc a small matter, but we allude to it to show how
" readily the editor of the Times fabricates facts
''whether relating to important or insignificant
g Subjects
Let see who lies-the Times or the Demo-
crat. The third section of the Bl as originally
introduced. and as it was drawn up by Mcssrs.
German and Sibley, read =
" And belt further enacted, That the said lands
hereby granted to the said Territory, shall be sub
ject to the DISPOSAL ANY FUTURE LEGISLATURE
thereof for the purpose aforesaid, and Ii other,
nor shall they nure to any Company Eow cOnsti-
tuted or organized" &c.
In proof of the above, Gen. Stevens, when un-
der oath before the Committee of Investigation,
testified as follows:
'The word " future" was stricken ont before
1t the bill was reported. or ordered to be re-
"ported, to the House, by myself, in my room, or
the Committee room.''
So much for that falschood. and we give the
proof merely to show how readily the under
strapper fabricates facts whether relating to i'm
pOrtant or insignificant subjects.
FALSHOOD NO. III.
To the charge that Mr.. Rice rejoiccd over the
election of the Know Nothing Mayor of Washing
ton, and Illuminated his house on that occasion
the understrappcr says:-
ss Mr. Rice was not within three hundred miles
. of Washington at the time of that election
&c but had left there with his family, several week,
" before.o
Dare you deny that the residence of Mr.. Rice
at Washington, was not illuminated on that occa.
sion? Dare you deny that he did not rejoice ovel
the election of the Know Nothing Mayor? DARE
you deny that Mr.. Rice's sympathies have been
and are now with the Know Nothngs of this city
Out with your dcnial-hat-foo and we vii
meet you, and meet you boldly.
1t is all well enough for the understrarrcr t.
endeavor to make capital out of other matters fo
his master, but he should be careful and not per
vert the record or to step far out of the road
Truth as 10 get lost in the bogs and swamps o
Error, and thereby damn his candidate with hi
very foolish and ridiculous falsehoods

THE DTTERER OF FALSEHOODS, AND THE
PROOF CONNECTING HIM---PASS HIM

[ ROUND
| In the absence of the editor Of the Democrat
(who, by the way, has some marks of n gentle
man left,) an understrapper, whom We should
judge, had been nurtured in the hot-bed of false
hood and stepped with the very dregs of loafer-
ism, exhibited his true character in an article in
the Democrat on Tuesday evening last. Unable
to meet US fairly on the Railroad question, he
tasks his ingenuity to concoct falsehoods, some
of which are unbushing that even the Father
of Lies himself would disown them, while others
are so puerile that child six years old could
fathcm their import. There is good deal of
the degustibus about this pedantic scape- grace
from the Penitentiary. lie throws off his big words
with as much grace as his elder brother flaps his
tail, there being this difference-the one does it
genteely, the other bungingly. Driven to desper-
alton by the calm language of Truth embodied in
article setting forth the character of his master
he squirms under its power with the vain hope of
dverting attention to other points, but he can't do
1.-THE nail is fastcnel-the mask has been torn
off, and the hideousness of the man portrayed to
the gaze of an indignant public. The dirty work
of propping up dirty fabric, has been wisely en-
trusted to dirty hands, and the mcnial has perform
ed his dirty work in a dirty manner. But why is it
that the understrapper takes so much notice of
our article? If it was tissue of falschoods, as
he claims it to be, why devote one column and
half to refute it Why throw mud balls at US
unless to bespatter us with his filth ?-Simpy to
the influence of our article-but his
falsehoods are impotent-like the adder that
seeks to sting, but fails for want of strength, so
this humbug of corrupt politician, will shrink
away to where other snakes resort, and riot in
the slime of his own making.
We will briefly notice one or two points in his
Minnesota weekly times. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1854-1859, 1855-08-28

In BAD WAY.-The editor of the St. Anthony
Express has the Diarrhea badly. 1t ssmust be
headed-chccked stopped Short" or the poor
fellow will die. The editor had been ailing for
some time previous to his recent somerset; but
that last effort started the bile, and judging from
nm accurate Daguerrootype of the invalid he is now
an collapsed state. No body will mourn his de-
mise more than we. for ''socially and edtorialy,"
we liked the fellow, but his political coat of many
colors never suited US. History will hanl down
his name as one of those whom we "rcad off,
We hope that when our friend gets &c 'tother side
of Jordan,'' he will be little moro consistent in
his political creed than he has been on this side
if he is not, there will be no hope of his satisfy
ing that inordnate ambition that has caused him
to be tapped about by every political breeze.

WEDNESDAY,, AUGUST p, 1855
ALL GAMMON.

We will not attempt to follow the Democrat
through It's meanderings in its fruitless efforts
10 throw us off the track on the Railroad ques-
tion, for the matter is so well known and our
position is so well understood, that to multiply
words, would be merely a loss of time. We
will state, however, for the fiiteth time for the
benefit OF strangers, whose minds the Demo-
crat article might influence, that we have never
been opposed TO the Railroad, but have fought
the Company In consequence OF their rascality.
The whole movement from the time it passed
into the hands of H. Nj. Rice, to the present
period, has been series of frauds, each one
of which was sufficient Of itself TO damn any
man. All the misrepresentation of the Dem
ocrat cannot oblcrate this fact. And the same
deception which has been practiccd hitherto,
will be, and is being practical again. In May
last, we were told that a party of surveyors and
engineers would be at St. Paul, but they never
made their appearance. We were then told
that they would be at Lake SUPERIOR but they
never male their appearance there, and now
we are told that they will be in St. Paul soon.
Gentlemen, this is all CANNON, and you know
it. You know that YOU can't build SO miles OF
the road before winter sets in, and ere the close
of winter the time limited by your charter will
expired. You know that you can't build Il
line of Telegraph from Galena to St. Paul in
winter and your only hope is, to get an exten-
sion of tine from the Legislature. This pa
rade of preliminary arrangements just now,
is all humbug-all gammon, hut we hope our
citizens have sufficient sense left not to bc dupcd
a second time by these New York sharpcrs
How THY Cor THEIR Foor IN.-It is a.
muSing to sec how some of our editorial nci igh-
bors got their foot in by publishing the letter
of M. Marshall, wherein that gentleman states
that he first conceived the idea of Railroad
from the Iowa line to Lake Superior, and that
Mr.. Rice "adopted " his views" The object
of the opposition press, in copying the letter,
was to cast odium on the TIMES, because Mr..
Marshall gave Mr.. Rice the credit of aiding
in bringing the first Railroad bill before Con-
grcss. In this, however, our cotcmporaries
overshot the mark. They gave publicity to the
very point we wished to make viz: that Mr..
Rice did not originate the Railroad enterprise,
hut the credit belongs to William X. Marshall.
. Among those whose love of retaliation out
weighed their political sagacity, was our neigh
bor of the st. Anthony Express, to whom we
are indebted for hearty laugh! The devil
oiten,ilnes leads men into difficulties, and having
got them there, winds a web around them and
plays with them us suits his convenience. He
has surely got the Express.

THE ONLY ONE.-Wc believe that the only pa
per in the Territory which favOrs the lands being
brought into market at the present time, is the
Southern Minnesota Herald Why this is so, is
beyond our comprehension, but the editor puts
forth the following for the faith that is in him =
g Those who have come in time to plant their
crops will have them in market in time to get
money to pay for their claims, and those who
have not and are not able to pay for what land
they want, will not be apt to make any extensive
improv vements, and if the land they have chosen
happen to be bought by some one else, they have
only TO select another piece just as good, and
have Il year to pay Tor It,"
/. Let us ask the Herald how settlers are to
live through the winter. if the money raised from
the crops this fall, goes TO pay for the land? One
of two thngs-they must either starve or mort
gage their homesteads to get money to purchase
provisions with, to keep them through the long
winter months and then in the Spring they will
be obliged to borrow more money at three per
cent. month to buy seed with. By this time,
we inclined to think that the settlers will be
used up, and the land and the improvements will
fall into the hands of spectators.
9. 1t is the very men who assured that they |

the expiration of year two, who will make
improvements the land. The money they
would be obliged to pay Government, would be
of great service to them in opening up their FARMS
B. As to this selecting land thirty Or forty miles
from market, and leaving improvements already |
made, may be all pleasant enough to talk about,
but not so pleasant to put in operation.
You arc wrong, Mr.. Herald two-thirds Of the
settler, do not wish the lands brought into mar
ket. and should they be, it will rctard the growth
of our Territory, and prove an injury to a large
class of worthy Industrious men.
