monials of his worth, fol he was to America
what Aristides has been to the Athcnians, a
just man and sincere patriot. He was to
America what Cincinnatus has been to The
Romans, the only capable man in danger with
magnaninity enough to refuse pay, and hui
mility enough to love best the pursuits OF
husbandry. He was, too, what Fabins had
been to the Romans, CAREFUL to husband all
the means which he bad, and at the same
time destroy his enemy. In addition to all
these, he was to America what Scion had
been to the Grecians, the propounder of the
most wholesome laws needful for the .ccess-
full government of free people. And when
the world had accorded to him all these quail
tiles, there was no change in his conduct he
remained still the same great, good, unaspir-
ing man--the same same solicitous, repub-
lican patriot. Oh that there might be now
Washington to whom the people of all par
ties might look up; or are we too corrupt
to heed the counsels of so good man?
The world has produced many heroes, but
none like Washington. Her great warriors,
were all rapacious and ambitious men. They
fought for power and renown; for what they
falsely called glory! He fought safely for
the sake of righteousness. and verify be-
lieve, that if he could have accomplished the
same good, incognito, he would have done it.
To thy wisdom, Oh! Washington, are we
indebted for the liberty which we now en-
joy, and for this thy country-thy children
consent to call them, "FArHER."

One word, friend HOWELL about our per-
sonal feelings and pecuniary interests, touch
ing the removal of the Capital. Please
don't Judge of our motive for opposing
this Illegal attempt at removal by
your own for going for it. We repeatedly
said to members early in the session, that no
man in St. Paul was fool enough to believe
she could hold the Capital after we became
a State that no one interested here cared
about trying to hinder its going, and so far
as personal preference was concerned, we
would as soon it would go to St. Peter as any
other town. All this we reiterate and re-
endorse here. But at the time, we never
dreamed that the removal would be attempt
while we were Territory, unless the ex-
press provision of the organic act was COM
blied with, to submit the location to vote
of the people. No, sir; it is the time, the
manner, and the appliances used to effect the
passage of this bill, and the violation of a
plain act of Congress, which you had sworn
to support, to which we object, and to which
we shall continue to object, even if this
plain course of duty shall cripple the &C
ton and energies of forty thousand Re-
publican parties, and "deeply wound the feel
ings" of every member thereof
And SO, for the present, friend Howell,

The $4,000 City Loan.

EDITORS OF MINNEsoTIAN Il hand you
for publication the following article that l
clip from the Financial Advertiser of this
morning and also the acc; mpanying letter of
Mayor Becker voluntarily furnished me.
AMENDE.-In speaking last week of the
loan of S3O, 900 in city bonds, we said that
none of this fund had been received by the
Treasurer, or accounted for" Now this is
only partially true, as we have since found,
and standing by itself without explanation,
is liable to convey unjust and erroneous im-
pressions. Mayor Becker voluntarily assum-
ed the trouble and burden of the disburse-
ment of this fund, without any commission
whatever, or any charge to the city, solely as
a measure of economy and to save the
heavy per centage which the Trearurer de-
manded as a commission for the same dis
bursement. The moneys expended were only
paid upon the order of the Council, and
vouchers for every dollar disbursed are en-
bodied in the Mayors report few weeks
since. It's the irregularity in the mode of
disbursement which struck us as suspicious,
and in the present constitution of the Coun-
Gil we cannot help being jealous of every ir-
regularity. But what we would not like to
entrust to the Council, we would feel very
safe in enlrusting to the vigliant guardian
ship ofsuch gentleman as we know the May
or o-be. Still we cannot help thinking we
had better pay five per cent commission than
establish a precedent which might be taken
advantage Of by less honorable Mayors than
Mr.. Becker.

DEATH OF BISHOP CRETIN.-We regret to
announce the death of Rev. JOSEPH CRETIN,
which occurred in this city yesterday morn
ing, after protracted and painful illness.
Bishop Cretin was a-native of France, and
had been resident of this city for about six
years, during which he had become noted for
his piety and acts of Crist an bcnevolence.
To his superior energy is the Church over
he presided indebted in great measure for
its temporal prosperity, and his loss in the
midst of his eminent usefulness, will be sin
c.rely deplored throughout the community.

Vote Oh Moving the Capital.

A writer in yesterdays Pioneer recklessly
charges the passage ofthe bill to remove the
capital upon the "Black Republicans" as
party, and says he is glad they have done it.
Such base misrepresentation should not 20
unnoticed.
The bill passed the House by a vote of
twenty to seventeen, as follows:
YEAs-Messrs. adams, L. NJ. Brown, Bar
rows, Baasen, Chase, Foster, Grant, Gere,
Ho'ceN, He'chman, King, McVey, Plumer,
Payne, Thompson, Thomas, Troll, Wilkie,
Whitlock, Wilson 20. 80 -.
NAYS-Messrs. Able, Branch, Berry, Black,
J. r. Brown, Costello, Chamblin, Greeley,
Hayden, Keith, Kingsbury, Murrry, Noble,
Ramsey, &onnard, Sweeney, Speaker-l7.
We have italicized the names of the Repub-
lican members. There are precisely nineteen
members of this party in the House, of
whom two were absent. 1t will be seen that
of the seventeen who were present, nine vo-
ted for the bill and eight against it. If all
had been present, we are told that the vote
would have been ten for the bill and nine
against, making in either event as nearly an
equal division of the vote of the party as
possible, although, unfortunately, the odd
member was on the wrong side.
There are nineteen members of the House
who have steadily voted with the Democrats
IN every party measure since the session
convened, and twenty who have thus voted
on all occasions save one-the election of
Speaker In fact, we may say the House
stands, when full, twenty Democrats to
nineteen Republicans. All these twenty
were present when the bill passed, and elev-
en- Of them voted for 1.-THE Democratic par
ty thus furnishing two more votes for the OBJ
noxious measure than the Republican party,
and a greater amount of proportionate
strength. 1t is true, we might call in ques-
tionthe party integrity Of those Republicans,
| as the Pioneer writer does his Democrats
who voted wrong; but that does not alter the
record as to the party that nominated and
elected them. Mr.. Gere, Judge Payne, Mr.
Baasen, Mr.. Barrows and Mr.. Wilson, all OF
whom voted for the bill, have been pet mem
bers with the leaders of the party all win
ter. ...
We have seen for some time adisposition
among certain managers of the Democratic
party to force this capital moving question
upon the Republicans as party measure
and it should be matter of congratulation
with every good citizen that it has not been
done. We believe the bill might have been
defeated-in fact we are almost positively
certain of it-had leading Democrats who op
posed it spent less time in abusing Republi-
cans who slightly favored it at first, who had
not then made up their minds. They were
insulted, tainted and accused Of trying te
make this a party measure, in order to buy
Governor German into the party. If any
one course more than another has contributed
to pass the bill, aside from the dishonorablt
approaches of the St. Peter Company, it wal
the indiscretion of the men here alluded to
which operated badly upon few very veal
heads which the Republicans have the mis-
fortune to own in the Legislature.
