DOUGUFACEISM ATED.


The St. Paul Pioneer is one of that class of
journals that is ever watchfu of which side its
bread is buttered. Seldom if ever does it COM
nit itself to Principle, but having aptness :'for
grand and lofty tumbling," it INDUCES in these
pleasing sports much to the amusement of its
readers. Do the Anti Nebraska Democrats want
an organ? The Pioneer is the chosen mouth
piece las long as it paysD Do the Nebraska
men want organ? The Pioneers dish is up
DO certain Bankers need defence? The Pioneer
will do it for price DO intempcrance and IL
centiousness call for champion? The Pio-
ncer leads the van Presto change will it
pay to be religious? The Pioneers nerves are
shocked by the Freedom songs of the Hutchin-
sons !-scrmons published to gull congrega-
tons !-sickening editorials are written laudato-
ry of Ministers And then, Presto change
again! Sally Saint Clair is angelized!-low
bufoonry is immortalized, and regular customers
are galvanized according to the means thrown
in the way of this gormdn- -dizing leech that cries
-''give! give!" A queer and Sunny paper'' is
that Pioneer
But the funniest part is its course on the Ne
braska viainy! Like a young duck, its head is
first above then under the water The
crack of the hunters rifle drives it from one
ambush to another, until overcome with fatigue
it sinks down into its native mire and sends forth
those doleful sounds so common to birds of its
gender! The Pioneer is a s.funny paper !" In
fact, it is paper for all classes. devoted to all
sides of all questions, and on all occasions ex-
presses all it has to say all the current topics of
the day suiting all, matter of course-who
patronize the establishment.
In one of its late tumbles the Pioneer accident
ly inverted its brains. We do not learn that the
mishap will prove serious, but if the following
specimen of representation from its columns,
is criterion of the injury received, we have no
further faith in its ultimate recovery.
"Don't be any longer hoodwinked by the cry
of ''Save the Union ~ Let us act together, firm
ly, determinedly, untedy, insisting that Kansas
SilGl. be. Free State though at the sacri-
flee of thousands of lives or over the shattered
fragments of discovered States Times of Sal
urddy.
Those who have heard the quack before will
recognize this One-h hear it:
The senseless ebulitions of fanaticsm and rrea-
son, quoted above, have been called forth by an
attempt on the part of the proper authorities to
vindicate and enforce the laws of the United
States and Kansas Territory. This is the great
crime against freedom, which the Goliah Of the
Times insists shall be corrected, even at the
pense of s'thOusands of lives or even the shat
tered fragments of discovered States."-Pioneer
Of Saturday.
Now Mr.. Double Twisted and Tumb ble-over-
Pioneer You know that to be false! You know
that the Free States Men of Kansas, have repeat
edly said that they were willing to submit, and
hare submitted to the laws of the United States,
but when the Infamous scoundrel Jones, acting
under the bogus laws of Kansas, sought to
coerce submission, then they did just what we
would do, Sharp's rifles to the best of our abl-
ity If there is fanaticism in that, thank God
there is considerable of it wrankling in our bos-
ON and in the bosoms of thousands Of others who
need but an opportunity to exhibit it.
| But the grand and lofty Tumbler makes one
more leap, and mark where he lands
| AS for the story of the ss Free State Blood
Split" s'Lawrence DESTROYED s:Civil War;
! &C., about which our friend of the Times went of
half cooked the other morning, a subsequent des-
patch declares the statement to be unmtigated
humbug-got up in Kansas for the Northern mar
ket. The following despatch contains the latest
and apparently the most reliable news from Kan

If our very agile and discriminating friend of the
Pioneer, will turn to the columns of the TINES oi
Saturday, he will find full confederation of wha

bly, later than ssthe latest and most reliable newl
from Kansas" which is given to the readers Of
the Pioneer with SO much gusto. Fie on 20,
