The TINES ON THE CELEBRATION.-Our Repub-
lican neighbor, down the cellar on St. An
thony street, after celebrating many days wheth-
| er he would be a horse or an ass upon the occa-
sion of the pretended s'railroad" celebration, has
finally concluded to turn into the procession as a
! mule. He takes medium position between the
horse sense sagacity of the Minnesotian and the
| jackassical stubbornness of the Pioneer. Spring
is hard upon US, as it seems Timothy is already
green. Minnesotian.
Wecopy the above to illustrate the old adage
| -"that fool is known by his acts" ut the same
time we are quite willing to pass over the low
| Hngs of the Editor, in order to inform him that
this is not the first time he has sought to coerce
US into his views, is it the first time that he
has failed. He should learn one thing:-that the
people of this community are too intelligent TO
| be led by q "one-horse'' editor of narrow views
and jaundiced prejudices, who assumes to
| control and guide public opinion without either
the ability or judgment requisite for a leader
Let the celebration be postponed until the 18th
of June and we are in for it, s'heart and soul" !"
more particularly SO since the Editor Of the Min
nesotian has seen 6s to drive rough-shod over
every one who honestly differs with him on any
question involving the interests of the city and
Territory. Let the Celebration go on.
Railroad Celebration - Third Ward. la
The Illumination and Finance Committees of
the Sd Ward met at the Winslow House on Thurs
day evening, the 9th inst
MIR. Bond offered the following Resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Many of our citizens who have con-
fri Tod llv IN tha onto 0th
who intend to contribute, have deemed it proper
to postpone the Celebration until some time in
June, when we shall have no interference from
the moon, and, we hope, from no other squarter;'
And whereas, The present season being so very
backward, our Territory in May will not present
that beautiful aspect to the visitor and stranger
which it will possess at later period, while our
streets and weather will most probably be un-
propitous for an outdoor display @
And whereas, Mr.. jackson, of Philadelphia,
having expressed his desire to visit our city and
give display of his fireworks, sufficient time will
not now elapse prior to the 18th of May for him
to do this in a credi,able manner, thereby rem
dering postponement on this account inevita-
BILE should such display be decided on; therefore
Resolved, That We are of the opinion that the
Celebration be postponed until the 10th or 18th
of June, and that we will meet the Committees
of the lst and I'd Wards at the Court House, on
Saturday evening, April llth, to agree upon the
exact time and manner of conducting the Cele-
bratiOn.
Resolved, That we will not consent to any fur
ther postponement, or to any later period than
the l1th Of June, under any circumstances what
ever. t.-a
Resolved, That in getting up this Celebration,
which appeals to every Minnesota heart for aid
and influence to carry it through successfully, we
entirely ignore politics, believing ourselves to be
too poor yet to allow the best interests of our
city and Territory to be sacrificed to the behests
Of any party, faction or clique.
Resolved, That in this matter, we have, and
have had, but one object in view-the advance
Inent and dissemination abroad of the good name
and fame of st. Paul and Minnesota.
Resolved, That We respectfully suggest to every
member of the various Committees, the necessity
for immediate and prompt action. -
On motion, adjourned to meet at the Winsow
House on Thursday evening, April 10th, at eight
o'clock. j. p. POND, Chairman.
