The Pioneer .and Democrat, in political con v {
troversv, is forsootb very extraordinary sort of
an antagonist. Engaged in duel Of one Of 'a
those Italian cntthroats or California; ldespe. y
radios, whom BY some unlucky mistake you may :
have expected to be acquainted with the duties Of "a
. gentleman, you would be very awell'of comma
pairing with your situation, when in POLITICAL ?
combat with the Pioneer. The bandit, fDdingsss
himself unable to vubd of your blows with the ol
sword, will cowardly take to dagger, IL Is nn
true; but all you can lose in the combat il youraoa
life. Greater yet will be your loss, when your
i'll star leads you into strife with the Border rea
Rufian Organ, the Pioneer and Democrat. = s6l
Finding himself unable to fight you with the 70
weapons that are allowed among gentlemen inbEs
debate, he cowaydly either will back out and rs
run away from the ground, or like the ban dit, 81
take to . dagger t0o-a dagger more hatefoi1sG
than that of the murderer the dagger of foul, l,oo
base, insolent calumniation. Here not your life
is at the stake but your honor, and this the cui-
throat does not hesitate to destroy, eycnif be had
to lie. yfH = glba 3sgm iie ssssGsa eli 30 sinsfn
Without the shadow of a proof, he boldly asssli
scrts that at the city elections we were buught.ak
For this we demanded him to give full evidence
or accept of Us. and every honest mas, the well-g
deserved title of Is 'sraseal." Dodsing our all
tentative, the worthy man replies, by an an sds
nonymous correspondent, which, though ovcr-fg
flowing with unmtisated malignty and black,
guardism, and vague charges, does not touch tho
matter in question at all. Instead of plainly
stating, when, how, hy whom, at what price and
for what purpose we we're bought that oracle Of =
the Pionser calls US an ignorant, person unit
for anything and humbug. Everybody can
see what this amounts to. As to the assertion
of the able correspondent of the Pioneer, that =
we have political faith, his acquaintance with
those ladies of the hall, which he styles sfsh-
wives," must have been intimate, and his
intercourse with them seems to have influenced
the development of his moral character as well as
rs his rhetorical talents to such an extent that
slander has become his fayorite occupation, or
should this unhappy oficr-seeker by trade--for /,
we think the Minnesotan is right MS to the 7au .an
thor of the correspondence--b stupid enough u
not to know that he is lying, when he charges US ,
with political inconsistency We request our
American friends to read, what the New York ~
Tribune. what the ''lllinois Staats Zeitung,Y 10
what the leading German papers Of our country
say of u.s. and then decide between US and the
fou-mouthed correspondent. ~ 1o re,snls.,as
Faithful adheren,s Of the true Jeffersonian De a.
mocracy, we have been from the beginning upto
this moment opposed to the cxtcnsion.of Slavery,
and heartily welcomed and supported the great
opposition Of all true patriots against the never
csl.
the Republican party has openly pledged itself
to secure equal rights to all men, as warranted -,
by the Constitution, and to defend the Constitu-
tional rights of the adopteI citizens, we have
joined it and shall promote the cluse fearlessly
with whatever influence and editorial capacity
we command, in spite of prejudice, stupidity
and ridiculous menaccs in spite even of our
terrible foe and unremittng prosecutor, that ro-
ltical wealth r. cock. who will crow like crazy at
US, because we hurt his unlimited ambition by
removing him from 'post" which, neither his
character his intellectual power, nor bis lit
erary requirements enabled him to ILL.,. I----s 81
The truth-lovins a citizen' is telling tales of fsa
horror about persons assaulted by us in their own
houses. If taking hold Of a collar and throwias
him out Of our sanctum after in vain telling him
of friend, but with the intention to gather ma 81.
terial for his slandering fairy tales about our-,,e
self ;--if this s assaulting a man, then indeed :
we mre guilty of that crime, and the correspon- z
dent is no liar.
The above explanations we due due to our 4 .
self, not because we hold our character blotted
our literary reputation injured in any way by
the insults Of the Pioneer and its scribblers, but
because here is q chance to assure our Repulyli-
can fellow-citzers of American birth, thar We
shall stand by the cause Of Freedom as long as
we are able to WELD our men, that we are happy
to say, that the editor of the first German pa
per in Minnesota we are in the situation to
contribute not little to the success Of the Repub
lican cause in this Territory, ard here with just
pride We declare that we need not now deviate
from our old course one inch for the purpose to
steer under the glorious and-if the majority OF
the citizens of the United States feel rs the ma
joritv Of the Minnesota Gcrmans-ere long VIC
torious flag Of fremont & Dayton. These are 4,
the men whose flag We hive hosted and whom
We are bound to follow from victory to victory,
leaving il to our opponents to tread the Shiny
paths Of shame, corruption and servility, until
they reach their well inerited fate-the profound
contempt Of their countrymen and the whole
people. FR. ORfHwErx,
