PERSONS may De out OF the reach OF band OF
cut7throats and oqtlaws, led on by such
brutes as Sh nnon and Jones, and backed by
the President. Oh no to say anything of
all this, might, perhaps, tat least the Pho
neer thinks it might, but nobody else does, }
injure the prospects, of Ten cent Jimmy -
for the Presidency. The medicine is esi-
IDENTIFY working, and the Pioneer fears its
potent virtue. We are inclined to think
that Lane, Reeder and Robinson will feel
uery bad should they happen to get hold of

HoRsE-STEALING AT STtLLwArER.-A
very unsophisticated horse thief broke into
DR.. Carli's stable at Saltwater, on Sunday
night, and proceeded to walk off splendid
span of horses belonging to the Doctor. He
was pursued yesterday morning and hav-
ing become a little tired at the Halfway
House, one of the horses was there re-
covered, and the other, together with the
thief himself, was lb,rught up 6 all standing"
in st. Raul by Constable Powers. The cul-
prit is now in our Jail, whence he will be re-
moved to-day to Saltwater. The horse he
brought here is worth at least $500, and be-
fore his arrest the thief offered to sell him
for $25. ,,-r.,e ~ -. -.
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
This body meets to-day at Philadelphia
The indications are that its proceedings will
be harmonious, and its final action such as
will ensure the success of the cause of Free
dom, and the final overthrow of the iron
power of Slave-driving despotism. Give the
North such man as Fremont, Bissell,
Mclean, or any one Of like character, and
stern principle, and she is bound to take care
of herself in the great struggle ofthe present
year. @ a
STAwBERRIEs.-During trip through the
country, some forty miles north of st Paul
lasr week, we noticed that the prairies ex-
hibited a plentiful supply of this delicious
fruit, just beginning to ripen. Before we
left home, however, our table was supplied
with dish of the finest cultivated straw
berry, fully ripe, from the garden of Mrs.
Mclean, of a size and favor that would
have done credit to 2ny of the cultivators of
the article who produce for the markets of
the large cities, East and South. They were
the first Of the season in this vicinity.

CRIrTENDEN's sREsoLUTIoN.-Dare thcma-
jority of the Senate vote to send Gen. Scott
to Kansas, to settle all difficulties between
the settlers and the invaders? No! The
simple fact is, Douglas and his co-traitors
know too we'll, that the moment the gallant
old conqueror of Mexico puts his foot on
Kansas soil, the people of the Territory
would rely upon him to man to protect
their rights, and rely, too, with safety
Hence Mr. Crittenden's resolution will not
pass the Senate. 80
SLopED! = Shannon-Gou. Shannon, of
Kansas-who told the wife of settler the
other day, that if she did not mind how she
acted, he would "cut her id black heart
out" has left the Territory! Perhaps the
Pioneer, who knows all about the Free
State "poltroons" Of Kansas, can tell us
what has become of this pink of "Democra-..
cy"-the Gouermor of Kansas,
Our NERAc1oUs NE1cHBoR.-The Pioneer
of Thursday last, says we never noticed the
stabbing OF Buel at Cincinnati during the
late Pro-Slavery Convention. To use our
neighbours own phrase of contradicting
statement" that's a lie ~
Mr.. BUCHANAN IN NEW YoRK.-The New
York Herald publishes chapter Of political
extracts from the eleven daily Journals of
that city, and remarks "Of eleven dailics,
there are but three of an inferior grade or
Indifferent circulation, that fully endorses
the nomination of Mr.. Buchanan, while in
1852 the nomination of Franklin Pierce was
responded to by the whole of our metrepoi-
tan journals, with two or three exceptions.
Why this chilling contrast between 1852 and
1856? $500
The DEMOCRACY OF NEw-YoRKe SPEAK
IkG.-The Buffalo Republic, the most infu-
entail Democratic paper in Western New
York, repudiates the nomination Of Buchanan
with loathing and soorn. 1t closes power
full article on the subject Of the nominations
in these words:
Enough, that we now declare that, under
no CIRCUMSTANCES (although always acting
with the democratic organization, and III
IDENTIFY attached to it by alife-long associa-
tion,) can we support the nominees of the
Cincinnati Convention, upon the platform
which that body has adopted.
