We copy the above as a specimen Of the
desperation to which the ST. Paul organ Of
the sham Democracy is driven in order to
orce the people Of Minnesota to bow to the
lictation of the so-called National Admins
tration. When distinguished men Of its
oarty arrive in Minnesota from abroad, it is
the known course of the Republican press Of
the Territory to treat them with respect to
notice them as friends of Minnesota-if they
,e such-and to extend tn them all the civil.
ties that mark the intercourse Of gentle
men in all parts of the civilized world. But

Suppose that we, during the past three
weeks, in noting the arrival of Hon. D.
WELLS, of Wisconsin, and Hon. CHAs. SrU-
ART, of Michigan, had chosen to play the
low-fung partisan game OF the Pioneer as
exhibited in the extract above; suppose that
IN the day Gen. SHIELDS arrived in st.

extra session, we had denounced him and
them as detachment of the "forty" Demo =
cratic thieves who were to swarm upon us
Turing the summer, what a terrible denun-
citation would have awaited us through the
iaily columns of Messrs. Goodrich, Somers,
Mills, Phelps, Coates & Co.! The unchar-
table, not to say ungentlemanly treatment
which leading Republicans who have work

rave received at the hands of the editors of

appreciation among citizens of Minnesota
not only of our party, but also a among high
minded and honorable Democrats.

We say, that no man in this community more
'penly and heartily protests against these
ersonal attacks of the Pioneer upon the Re-
publican friends of Minnesota from abroad,
than does Hon. II. NJ. RICE himself. Those
members of all parties who so truly stood

We understand Senators DOUGLAS and
rooMBs will be here before the June election,
and will address the people upon the pc it
cal questions Of the day. We W. II be pleas
ed to have them come; sad with all other
Republicans, will most certainly treat them
With all due consideration, and listen to their
political harangues with that degree Of re-
spect and courtesy which men Of all parties,
and in all countries, are bound By common
lecency to extend to their fellow-men. In
fact, we are really anxious to have these two
gentlemen make their appearance in Mime
s,ta an give their political yieSs to the pco-
pie before the first Monday in June.
The Pioneer Is welcome, so far as We ere
concerned, to play out this game Of inhospi-
table SANDER to any extent it may choose.
We understand tho St. Anthony Express of
last week, which we have not received, is
playing upon the same thousand-strinsed
harp. Not having seen its delicate and gen.
tlemanly opinion Of some of the best friends
Minnesota ever had in Congress, we turn it
over to the tender mercies of our friends.
