Getting Beyond his Depth.

We observe by the report of debate in
the Pioneer, that JAMES M. Dow, the 'sweak
sister" in the House of Representatives, wko
affects to be the Democratic leader in that
body, has been slandering the Minnesotian
for the purpose of bolstering up the recreant
parson PENMAN, whom the Democracy have
made Chaplain as cunning means of casting
ridicrle and contempt on the Christian relig
ion! Mr.. Dow had better let the fellow
PENMAN fight his own battles; and at all
events, we advise him to eschew provoking
an encounter with this paper; his temerity
we excuse this time on the principle contain
ed in the old lines of the poet, that
"FOOls rush in
Where angels fear to tread -
and that they should not for first offence
be chastised according to their folly

Light Breaking in the North

We learn by letter from Lake Superior
that the investigations instituted by the Hon.
GEO. L. BECKER, into the reason why the
canvassed returns of the election in the Lake
Counties were not laid before the Board of
State Canvassers, has brought to light the
fact, that the Abstract of the Canvass of
those counties, made out in form by REUBEN
H. BARRETT, the Register of Deeds Of St.
Louis county, was duly deposited by him in
the post-office of Superior, Wisconsin-th that
being 1.-The nearest post-office," upon the 5th
day of November properly sealed up and
directed to the Secretary of the Territory.
Mr.. BARRETT, the Register, who makes a
certificate of this fact, is well known as a
SIBLEY Democrat and his certificate will not
be impeached by the Democracy.
More than month after this document
was thus sent, Secretary CHASE denied that
the Abstract had been received at his office |!
AS time enough in abundance had elapsed,
for its reception in due course of mail, the
question arises, was it received and yet
Suppressed" in order to defeat RAMSEY g.
And did not SHELLEY kno,U of its suppression
when he put in his dishonorable protest against
the votes of the Lake counties being counted
by precincts q? How honest it was for him
to protest against counting any thing but the
Registers Abstract, when he probably knew
said Abstract was in safe hands, and not like
ly to turn up until after the Canvass was
over! Oh what an honorable" man
How lucky for us Republicans that in
cheating RAMSEY out of his election, the
Canvassers also cheated Mr.. BECKER, a Dem
ocrat, from being the highest on the list Of
Congressman, down to being the lowest of
the three. AS the census returns will pre-
clude our State being entitled to more than
two members of the House, and those of
course the two who received the highest
number of votes, it is important to Mr..
BECKER to correct the injustice done him by
the Board of Canvassers and to show the
figures to be as the votes were really cast.
This gives US the benefit of his exertions
and those of his friends to unmask portion
of the villainy by which SIBLEY obtaiaed his
certificate.

Now, the alledged" business letter OF JAMES
McFETRIDGE," said to have been received by
the Pioneer folks "about the last Of Septem-
Der" unquestionably pretends to describe the
state of things as they existed at St. Vincent
about the 6rst of September AT that time
it says-or rather the Pioneer says for it, for
we don't believe any such letter was ever re-
ceived from Mr. McFErRIDGE-"ten cabins
had been built at st. Vincent and tmenty more
in process Of erection.
But when our disinterested traveller. not
involved in Minnesota politics, but merely OBJ
serving the country for his own instruction
and amusement, was in st. Vincent at peri
cd of tine month or more subsequent to the
date of the McFetridge letter-if any letter
of the kind was written or dated by McFET-
RIDGE at all,-then not only were there no
sta, cabins" already "built at st. Vincent
but the traveller testties that some solitary
Indian U'igwam of Skins" was the entire a
mount of buildings son the spot where st.
' lnCeuC Is SQtU " UC thC S"u'S s'"'~'
lr further tells US that the spot lis annuity
covered with 6re, ten, and erea ta0sM 3 feet Of
tcater!'
In the article of the Pioneer originating
the McFErRIDGE letter fiction, state
ment we had made, based upon MIR. CHARLES
CAvILEER's authority, that in the spring Of
| 1857. the site of St. Vincent, was over "tea
feet u,ader cater," was pronounced ridiculous
and absurd" and manufactured to order"
Having now backed up our assertion by
the proof perhaps the Pioneer will indulge
somebody with peep at that McFErRiDGE
letter. which if not manufactured to order'
in the office of that paper. was at all events
very queer kind of manufacture.
Shame on the Democratic party of Min
nesota for countenancing such frauds and for
geries Every decent man in its ranks
should burn al over with shame as he con-
templates their exposure, and sees SHELLEY
forfeiting honor and decency to profit by
them!

will have had the benefit of their superior
wisdom and talents, and their conservative

But beyond this, the Republicans intend
to take no responsibility. Why should they?
The Democracy prepondcrate in each branch
they have both presiding officers, and have
appointed horde of useless clerks and Irish
messengers and door-keepers and tiremen-
aud they have chosen State Printer and two
United States Senators. They did not ask
the Republicans to share in the disposition
of those pickings from the State and Nation

1t is gratifying, amidst SO much servility
as the Federal Office holders almost every
where display on this Kansas question, to be
able to record occasional examples of indie

The collector of Detroit, for instance, as
the Democratic organ there tells US, boldly
sustains the course of DOUGLAS against the

In Minnesota we are also glad to be able to

contrary to our expectations, the entire body
of the Federal Ofice-holders here, except
perhaps SAM MEDARY, are Douglas men aud
thoroughly back him up in his determined OPP

to BUcHANAN's dough- faced subserviences to
the fire-eaters of the South u.
One Of the most prominent amongst them,

SALTWATER, January l, 1858.
DEAR SIRs In your paper Of the 2oth
of November, you stated that it was rumor-
ed that RICHARD TONER, formerly of Vino
ma, tried to escape from prison, and was hung
by the mob. Now, sir, for humanity's sake,
and as fellow being, wish you to correct
this mistake. In the first place, TONER nec-
er aCas murderer Of his fellow man. was
on the ground when the murder was commit
ted, and tried to make peace by getting FAR
WELL, the murderer of WAGADoRE, home, but
could not do it. I was there when FAR
WELL was arrested. If was the murderer
why would not have been arrested then 3
| did not know that was even suspected OF
having anything to do with the murder until
l was arrested! 1 was subpGnaed to give
in my testimony against FARwELIt, when l
was arrested. FARwELL said the committed
the murder, but that gave him the knife
The Grand Jury was then sitting, and | had
no chance to clear myself. l could have
brought forth witnesses to prove that FAR
WELL brought the said knife from his own
house on that morning, and that FARwELL and
myself was not on speaking terms for eight
months. AS for trying to get away from
Saltwater is also wrong, for want a trial in
hopes of being cleared by the laws of my
adopted land, of which am a citizen.
l have no need of trying to get away, as
my keepers use me well, and ! wish that
could get to trial that l might clear myself in
the eyes of the public, and thus show that l
am not what you state me to be-a murderer.
/ wish to state to you that PHIEsoN is still
here in prison. 1 state this for your own
satisfaction but Sir, it alarmed my wife and
family very much to see such report in your
valuable paper so highly recommended in
this western country. They wrote to me a.
bout it, and several other friends, and think
it only justice to your fellow being to contra
dict your statement. and be kind enough to
publish this, and oblige

QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.
Mr.. FOLSOM rose to a question of privi-

A gross misstatement, Mr.. President, has
been made in the report of the Pioneer in ref
erence to the resolution introduced By my
self on Dec. 10. The reporter of that paper
stated that the attempt to pass it was a fail
ure this, Mr.. President is alse, and I de.
test the spirit manifested in the paragraph
referred to, of cndeavoring to induce a
false impression in regard to certain meas
ures introduced by Republican members,
abroad. The paper l refer to has large
circulation and its statements whether true
or false arc regarded as SO, by q large class.
| therefore protest against the misrepresen-
tations of the reporter of that paper. and
would ask that the Senate insist, that if he
cannot report the doings fairly, he be reouir-
ed to withdraw.
INTERESTING DISCUSSION ABOUT REPORTERS.

gentleman meets my views exactly, and |
wish the Senate would take some action in
regard to these matters, for the future guild
ance in reference to them.

PRESERVATION OF THE
BONAbARTES.

Probably no family in all Europe has encounter
ed as many personal dangers that of the Bona
parties. The elder Bonaparte escaped unharmcd
from fifty pitched battles, and from dangers emu
merable on other occasions His brothers also
were often in imminent peril, and yet no one ever
received mortal wound. The present Napoleon
has escaped several attempted assassinations. The
late assault upon him remarkably resembles that
upon his uncle by means of the internal machine
The following account of the latter event, by Haz-
lit, may interest readers: - .s. ..
On the evening Of October 10, 1900, Bona
parte had agreed to go to the Opera House, (then
in the Rue Richeieu,) but afterwards, being IA
tigued or unwell, changed his mind, and wished to
stay at home. Josephine and some others who
were then with him urged him to 90, and came to
couch where he had fallen asleep, wakened him
and told him the hour of performance near
One Qady probably1 brought him his hat, another

carriage, where he fell asleep again, and was

and fame He had passed this river in great
peril, by torchlight, three or four years before,
when his carriage was set afoat by the stream and
