Pioneer Clap-Trap.

" This pro-savery' slang cannot injure
Mr.. Chamblin with the voters of his district
or.with reasonable men anywhere. Such a
being as Pro-slavery' man has no exis-
tenCe in Minnesota"
Indeed! Mr.. Chamblin sought the nomi-
nation of the Republicans until he was pin
ned down on this very question. Then he
went over to the Democrats-yow are taking
q man whose principles the Republicans re-
pudiated.
"We have no slaves here, and we know
of no one who proposes to introduce that in
stitution in our midst. When there is such
proposition on foot it will be time to dis
cuss the merits of the question and we
should doubtless then be found ON the same
side with the Minnesotian."
roy you won't be found in any such place.
You fly at the head of your paper the same
names for President and Vice-President as
does the Richmond Enquirer and other
Southern sectional Disunion sheets. You
are for Breckenridge, who says in his speech
es before Freemen Of the Free States, that
unless he and Buchanan are elected the
Union vii be dissolved. ea
tone thing is important, however, and
pertinent to secure representation from
st. Paul which shall command respect in our
next Legislature, for its combination of in
telligence energy and character"
Exactly! Put in your ticket and you will
have this character of St. Paul representa-
ton, won't you 2
"The reference above made to Mr. Rose
is pure lie."
This refers to the Minnesotian's reference
to that respectable old gentleman, made on
Monday. All we have to say, in addition to
the correction we made yesterday, is that
Mr.. Rose came into our Office about six
weeks ago, imploring all the maledictions of
fire and birthstone on the head of the editor
of the Pionecr-stating that he had just
been down to discontinue that internal Bor-
der Rufiian T" sheet-the Pioneer-and sub
scribed, on that occasion for the Minneso-
tian. Mr.. Rose will not deny this neither
will he deny that We were thoroughly justi-
fled in placing him where we did on Monday.
"And we are unable to see what the
slavery question has to do with our Legisla-
turc, In any respect"
No. but you will doubtless be able to see
the whole thing, just as soon as You hood
wink the people into combination on the
State Question, which will ensure two
Doughface Senators in Congress from Min
nesota, to support Atchison and Stringfellow.
and Arnold Douglas, in admitting Kansas as
Slave State. Perhaps you can succeed
then again perhaps you can't
The Know Nothingism of the Minneso-
tan reveals itself IN its reference to Messrs.
Costello and McBane, the remaining nomi-
nees."
We reply to this by quoting the Pioneer
against the Pioneer:
We have made purchases of him [Mr
Costello occasionally in trifing amounts
and the acquaintance thus casually made, has
certainly left on our mind impressions quite
favorable to his character as grocerr-Pio-
neer of Monday.
Mr.. j. G.. McBane is of French extrac
ton, and lives at Little Canada.-Same O
Monday.
Try on your clap-trap again, neighbor
We have not said half as much against your
candidates as you have yourself
