The Pioneer in ats attempts - to escape
from the odium'' of a most shameful
breach of faith, resorts to fabrications out
right. After quoting our structures of Thurs,
day morning, it goes on to make the follow
ing statement, which it will be seen does not
contradict single assertion made by us, al
though the writer affects to believe that we
are thereby branded as "falsifier and slam,
dcrer -
An employee in our office was approach
ed on Wednesday afternoon, about four
o'clock, at the Post Office, by one of the
proprietors of the Minesotian, who made a
proposition that no more expresses should
be sent out. This proposition was accepted
by the gentleman from this office, without
consultation with the proprietors."
He was not approached" in the Post
Office. The agreement was only then con-
cluded in fact-which had been settled in
terms several hours before at Cannon Falls
b. the same individuals-in the presence of
the principal writing editor of the Pioneer,
who did not signify the least objection to it,.
This " employee" stated that he would not
go himself, and that lie possessed sufficient
influence at the establishment to prevent any
one else from going-a representation which
we then and now fully believe.
{" On informing one of them, an hour af-
forwards, of the nature OF the agreement he
had entered into, he was directed to inform
the MinnesOtlan Office that it was not ap-
proved, and that every effort would be made
by this Office to secureothe message at the
earliest possible hour This direction was
faithfully complied with, several hours be-
fore our express left the city"
OF course we cannot say as to what he
was directed" to do. We only know as
to what he did and what he did not do. He
did not see the individual with whom the
agreement was made till several hours after
the Pioneer had issued the message, and
when he did see him he distinctly informed
him that when the Pioneer folks concluded
not to stand by the agreement and he Lad
told them that he was in honor bound to in
form US, they objected and absolutely made
him promise not to inform the Minnesotian
Office that they were going to start another
express which promise was faithfully
complied with."s We had not the least
knowledge till the next morning but what
the Pioneer folks were faithfully standing by
the agreement, for it was concluded with an
individual of whose nice sense of honor We
had hitherto entertained the most exalted
opinion. We ask the public who, as gene
raj thing, care nothing about it, Is it reason
able to suppose if we had known of their in
tentions to send an express, that we should
not have done so likewise?
If they have " compiled with every prin-
ciple and rule of honor" then the term is
susceptible of definition that We have ne
yer before known TO be put on it.

RETRIBUTIoN.-Tn 1854, Cassus NJ. CLAY
visited Springfield, Illinois, and an effort was
made to get him the State House to speak
in; but Johh Moore, the pro-slavery State
Treasurer, and tool of Douglas, closed the
building in the face of Mr.. Clay and his
friends, and acted towards them in regular
Border Rufian style. This John Moore was
the Buchanan Douglas candidate for State
Treasurer at the late election, and the fol-
lowing is the verdict Of the people upon him:
Moore, lO7,O4S; Miller, l2s, ,43O; majority
against Moore, 81 1882. Asignificant, crush
ing rebuke to low-minded demagogue. The
people have turned him out of the State
House as emphatically as if he had been a
money changer who profaned the temple by
his presence.

SAINT PAUL. MINNESOTA TERRITORY SATURDAY DECEMBER % 1856

among the leading spirits of the South tina,
we find those who talk of and threaten dis
union while at the North, such treasona.
bic language and threats are confined to men
Of no consequence, and who exercise no in
fuence in public affairs.
At the South, it is the Governors of states
and Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress who talk treason in any communica-
ton they make to the country; while at the
North it is confined to strong-minded wo-
men and men wholly destitute Of either po-
litical or moral influence. These are facts,
and we refer the country to the records.
But we have not space to-day to finish this
review.

reign States, and amounts to this: the Pre-
sident of the United States charges, say, tn
great Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania will
having enacted laws 10 assist and render cas-,
the escape of animate property from its mas
ter: and to Frscea, its master from recover
ing it.
He might just as well have said, and it il
saying 50 virtually, that the legislature o.
Pennsylvania, provided means of committing
larceny, and then added to that act another;
providing for the safe keeping of the property
stolen. This is the substance of the charge.
This is serious charge one involving the
highest degree Of moral turpitude on the
part of the Legislative body of sovereign
state. 1t is made by anlar occupying the
most eminent position in the world and yet
it is of character SO entirely destitute of
truth, and so easily exposed, that wo confess
we are at loss to imagine what could in
duce the recklessness OF the act The only
conclusion we can arrive at, and that is char
liable, is, that the man is insane. No act of
the kind was ever passed by either of the
States of the North ; yet several Of those
states, at time of much excitement, did
enact law prohibiting state officers from of:
ficiating in the re-capture of fugitive slaves,
and changingthe use Of the public jails for
the purpose of keeping them. But the acts
were acts of o@s.ia'aveation purely. and pass
ed in retaliation of the unconstitutional i'm
prisonment and sale into slavery by certain
of the Southern states. Of fteo men of the
North. We believe they were fully justifia
ble in doing this and they did nothing
more; they did nothing, either to facilitate
the escape or prevent the recapture and ex-
t'a1ition. The allegation Is a pure apd un-
qualified lie:
We now come to the third step Of evil at
tributed to the Republican party, and which
he attained by degrees. This is the unhap-
py controversy growing out of the more re-
cent organizations OF territorial governments,
and the admission of new states jy.!o the
Uni,n but we vii. reserve this for to-mor-
r w's paper.

happily disappointed the country is vastly
better than l had been led to believe. There
is all abundance of timber for fencing and
firewood ON almost every quarter section.
The finest white oak in the territory is found
hcre-at least the finest that have seen.
The meadows produce an abundance of ex-

clear lakes, which abound in fish. Game is
abundant.
The town is beautifully situate on the most
easternly bend of Rum River, in Town IS,

which must make it place of Importance.
1t is surrounded by fertile agricultural
country, and must become the centre of .
thriving trade. 1t is but five or six miles
from the southern line of the Pineries, and
lumber will be abundant and cheap. af
! A splendid mill will be in operation by
April, and thus the first necessity of a new
town will be supplied, viz: building nate

A number Of claims have been made. We
are making more, and others are on their
way for the same purpose. This region has
been under-rated but judging from what
Lave seen in other portions of the Territory,
this part will vindicate itself as soon as it
becomes better known. F99 @3E eso-
