HARD TO PLEASE.
j. The little editor Of the Pioneer and
Democrat appears 70 be hard to please.
Little. housing, politician, as he is, the
most distinguished men Of our party
scarcely ever do right in his eyes, and
SO ne whines, and complains, and grum-
bles, and Priats the results Of his vari-
Gus exercises 10 his paper. There has
not been wanting grounds to think that
the little gentleman was getting tired Of
his unimportant position in the demo-
cratic ranks, and was looking out for
some change Or other. He has seldom,
we presume, maintained one position
over year at time and, remember
ing his sudden right-about from Olmsted
TO Rice, no one, We think, need be
surprised within the current year. to
find him a Jealous co-worker in the
ranks s Of Of the Republicans. Even New
sons temperance and asceticism, may
be accepted by him for short period.
/ !. We have been led othese reflections
by several recent sour expressions we
hlaay have seen in his paper. Not long ago
President Pierce thought fit to appoint
to one Of the Offices in the Minneapolis
Land Office, Mr. A. G.. Smith, a gentle
man Of ability, integrity and good and
true Democrat !, whereupon the editor
Of the Pioneer and Democrat became
exceeding roth, and said the President
had made great blunder. Mr.. Pierce
goes out Of Office, and Mr.. Buchanan
comes in. Upon the resignation Of Gov.
German, Mr.. Buchanan was called
npon to send a Governor to Minnesota
and among the army Of applicants, Sc
lected Col Medary to fill that important
post IA gentleman Of rare attachments,
OF great experience, aad in every way
suited for the impartial discharge Of the
duties Of the office. Whereopon the
editor Of the Pioneer and Democrat bel
lows as follows - .s
1T has been the history Of Territories hereto
fore, and we suppose will be hereafter, until we
get President who has some personal know
ledge and appreciation Of Territorial affairs, tina
the wants and interests Of their people are made
secondary to the wants and interests of outside
politicians. If the administration carries out this
doctrine Of importations, and the Democracy Of
the Territory prove able to sustain themselves in
spite Of it, and erect Democratic State ont Of
doubtful Territory, it will be an instance Of de-
votion TO principle and party, which no State ID
the Union, under the circumstances, would be
expected to parallel. Under such a state or
things, we confess onrsef unable ia understand
how the federal administration could look ID the
Democratic Senators and Representatives Of the
State Of Minnesota, for any sympathy, OF for any
support, outside Of that demanded BY the obIiga-
4 tons Of party, codly acknowledged, and grudg-
y bestowed. Blow for blow, Z is good politi-
cal, il not christian morality and We hope there
will be sufficient imanliness il the breasts Of the
resident Democracy ofthe Territory, to act upon
that doctrine al the proper time, if occasion
should require it % be done. ffa t.s3ff. sy
Now, he is bolter" in earnest.
See how he threatens Hear this pro-
Jssssd Democrat talking Of blow for
blow, : and indirectly, but plainly intl-
mating that if the President does not do
better, or does not abandon the doctrine

Roficers, he will, advise our future Sena-
tors ID Congress. to withhold sympathy
and 1 |. support \, from the party ID Congress
What sort Of democracy Do you call
this Because his faporiie does not
happen 70 be the favorite Of the Presi-,
dent, and does not succeed ia his wish
Iesi therefore the President has no
appreciation of Territorial affairs. - -,
