THE CONSPIRACY.

Finale Chapter-A Summing up.-Good Ridancs
to Bad Rubbish!
Willis A. German, unfortunately Governor oi
Minnesota Territory, having failed by series OF
efforts on his part, to make tool of US, at last
sought during our absence, to sell our Office at
public auction order to CRAFTY that malicious,
inherent spirit of revenge for which low and
forever more he will he held in eternal remem-
brance. Like the blood hound that tracks the
fugitive, so tracked German upon our path. lie
did not boldly meet US man should me ct man:
but serpent-likc he crawlcd behind our back, and
having sent forth the poison from his painting
fang, he retired to some other place in order to
enjoy the pleasurable emotions the act might
give him. Fiend-lhe, he gloated over the ruin
he thought he had made and then like SWELL
ed toad, foated again on the surface of life to at
last wallow in his own mire and die unregretted
and forgotten.
The reader who has perused our articl1s will
readily see ,0hy We have thus written of willis A.
German. He will see that for two. years this
man has annoyed and purplcxed Us. he viii
see that time and time again lie cndeavorcd to make
Us his organ, but has been often spurned.--
lie will see that We defended I'm when all else
deserted him--that for this we received no pay
but have been unable to collect an honest debt
fairly contracted. lie will see that he has offered
US money (mcre promisesl to laud his Mes age
that ne has asked us repeatedly TO defend him
that for so doing We have incurred the ili-will
of Others and the cersure of our friends. He
will see that he has violated his word--refused
to perform that which he pledged himself to per
form-to pay that which he obligated himself to
pay-and finally, with $500 order on the Gov
ernment in his own pocket, drawn at his own re-
quest on purposely to settle note he was bound
ened to settle, he even rfused to do that and
at last, knowing that responsible for doz-
en- just such notes and in our absence. East, he
claimed he had no personal property that the
Sheriff could attach, and laughed us he saw the
hammer fall that was intended to ruin US forever
And why all this For the reasons we have set
forth in previous articles. But did he accom-
plish his end No far from it..
We are stronger to-day than ever were be-
fore--and better able to cope with any all the
vlpers that creep ut our feet. We have rights
Tn jse rights are sacred. We shall defend them
though every drop Of blood should ooze out at
the end of our pen in the attempt. We ask no
sympathy. We ask fair play. We shirk no re-
sponsibility. We are ready for any emergency.
No potentate, king, priest or Gorernor, shall
wantonly assail US, without the knowledge that
there are blows to give as well as to receive.
Kind reader! we are done. We be- pardon
for thus oGtruding our private matters upon your
attention. but the circumstances Of the case
seemed to justify The charges that have
hitherto been made against US, that we were the
organ of German ---that German furnished the
Office with money to carry on the paper--that
German dictated our course,--we want each
and all of these SANDERS to be put forever to
rest and henceforth we trust the public will
think more charitable Of US than to believe that
we have any further connection with the present
Executive of this Territory WILLIS A. COR
MAN.
