Removal of Register Ames,

COLONEL SAMUEL MEpARY, in his supreme
power as Federal Governor, just now at the
heel of Minnesota's Territorial existence,
took it upon himself yesterday to reno We
Register AMEs, of Hennepin county, from
Office upon flimsy complaint made by Sec
rotary CHASE, another Doughface satrap of
Buchanan's administration, who is put in Of
fee here by the Federal power by way ofbsau-
TRULY illustrating the "great principle" of
Squatter Sovereignty! We suspect these
worthless see the end of their dictatorial
career rapidly approaching-if they have
the brains we gave them credit for they GER
tainly do-and they are determined to do
what they can to revenge themselves ere the
people Of the State Of Minnesota in their ma
jesty, have the power to kick them out of
Office, neck and heels.
We heard the whole of the trial" $50
called) of Mr.. AMEs, had before Gov. Me-
DAIRY on Tuesday, and more utter failure
to make out the least shadow Of case we
never before witnessed. Mr.. CHASE, the
only prosecuting witness examined, blum
dered through his testimony with an appa-
rent consciousness that he had better be at
other and more honest business. In fact,
when driven to the wall by Mr.. NouRsE, he
was forced to acknowledge that the first and
most material of his original charges against
AMEs, sworn to by him on the 10th inst,
tcaS not true!
And yet on the testimony of this man,
Gov. MEDARY removes AMEs from Office -
All right, We say. Let the paid hirelngs of
the Slave power have their rule in Minneso-
ia while they may! Let them roll the ty-
rannical power with which they are for the
brief hour clothed as sweet morsel under
their tongues. The rule of their negro dri-
wing lash over the backs of the people of
Minnesota is short. A few months at far
thest, if all goes well, and we will be gov
erned by men in whose elevation to Office
the people of Minnesota alone will have
right to speak.
The man does not live in all Hennepin
county, or in all Minnesota, who is a man,
and knows Mr.. AMEs, that will stand up
and say he is capable of wronging any one
to the ninth part of hair. If there were
any error in the action for which an attempt
has been made to disgrace him by hrelings
of the present Pro-slavery Federal power,
it was an error of judgement and not one of
deliberate guilt. 1t appears to us that no
one should have been better satisfied of
this, after hearing all the facts adduced, than
Gov. MEDARY.
But it is all right, we can tell the Cover
nor and the twisters of the party screw who
have aided him in bringing about Mr.. AMEs'
removal. He will be forthwith re-appoint-
ed Register by the Commissioners of Hen
nepin county, if they are the true Repub-
lican men we take them to be; and next fall,
when his name comes before the people for
the same office, he will be triumphantly re-
CHAsE's money which he offers
to bet against such result to the contrary
BY the way, as CHASE appears to have
had yesterday $500 or $4,000 to bet that
AMEs cannot be reelected, we would like
to know how much he has on hand of Gov
eminent money? We are somewhat pecu-
niarily interested in this query, particularly
as it is whispered about town that the "Dem-
ocratic" creditors of the Government are IA
ring tolerably we'll up about his office, while
such as we can see "nary red"
Mr.. CHASE, beware of the fate of
other Chemung Canal politicians who have
gone before you to their long home in Min
nesota!
