WEAruER.-For two weeks past we
have been havingthe most gloriously beauti.
full weather that ever gladdcned any por'
ton of the Earth's surface. Old winter
could not possibly have put on more
winsome garb.
There is about FIVE inches of snow on the
ground, the mercury has been coqucttine
with freezing point, so that our snow has
packed close for Shedding without melting
even on Southern slopes.
The greater part of the time our days
have been full of sunshine; and at night
"my bonny lady moon" has given an a
bundancc of light to enable folks, Of ordi'
airy vision, to read such print as that Of
our paper. Then, our glorious atmosphere
with its peculiarly exhilerating and blood
circulating properties, the gingle of thu
sleigh bells; and the creak of the snow
under sled loads of produce coming t
mill or market, the pleasant faces of ou'
highly favored citizens and predominanct
of the soft brown and grey tints of ou1
leaAess timber lands, varied with clusters
of evergreen and illuminated by our gor
geous sunsets and sunrises make up SCI
of reasons for living happy, which it re
quires some considerable excrtion success
fully to resist.

There are more public officers than the

The Pioneer d Democrat says our
preachers up here resemble ':old Syncsius
tho jolly hunting Bishop of the print
tive church,
s Cannot say about this, as we are not per-
sonally acquain ed with that old gentle
man; but if our neighbor is correct Mr.
SYsEs1Us must have been able to drive
home a charge of either lead Or Logic with
telling effect.
Our testy neiehbor also hints that we
talk about the Editor Of the St. Cloud
DEMOCRAT; we arc utterly astonished to
see even the Pioneer risk statement so
rlanifestly absurd.
What possible motive could we have
for interfering in the affairs of that
troublesome person? Why should we be-
little our columns with such a subject when
the Editor Of the St. Paul Democrat is
there ready to serve his country by fur
nishing, in his own person, material for
any amount Of public discussion?
What under the shining sun would put
it into our foolish head to talk or write a.
bout any woman when nobody else ever
says or writes word on that subject.
Does not every body know that editors
never favor us with homilies on woman,
her duties and her sphere, that lecturers
never lecture about it; and that poets and
preachers are dumb about the weaker sex !;
and that more especially this particular
specimen Of the class has been left to pur-
sue the even tenor Of her way so entirely
uamolested that there could be no kind of
excuse for explanations or vindications; or,
in fact for saying word about her; and
does any body think that any editor who
has even had the honor Of supporting Mr..
BUCHASAN's administration would turn
aside from so high calling to drag up
from the rusty decps of oblivion such a
subject rs the Editor of the St. Cloud pa
per- Ridiculous, Brother Pioncc1',-
now just try again, for we can prove that
We never have said nothing, no time,
in 10 way and on no occasion about no
such person.

remember that her climate is thought un-
suited to slave labor, that Territories
expecting to become Frec-labor States, arc
required to be humble, and wait.
A little humility is good for us all ;
and very young Misses should never be
saucy with old, guardian Uncles. 1t
would have been much better for Miss
Dacotah to persevere in claiming the
guardian care of minor child, than to
set up claim to the dignity of twenty
one. ST."
Gov. Barber is, no doubt, correct about
the location Of the Capital. The head Of
Red River will, doubtless, be very i'm
portant point; and the continuation
IF the Rail Road from thence on across
Dacotah toward the Rocky Mountains
is Of momentous import in the plcn of
connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans by railway; but Dacotah needs a
Territorial, not State, government; and
Congress could not long have refused to
organize it.
We do not believe in the doctrine of
Popular Sovereignty-that is, in the right
Of Territory with one, two, three or four
thousand inhabitants to come into the
Union, and exercise as much influence in
the United States Senate as State with
as many hundred thousand citizens. We
do not believe that ten thousand millions
of men could have light to rob any one
man of any one of his natural rights,
hence we hold that the whole cutlery about
Popular Sovereignty is a bundle Of Soph-
istry but Dacotah, so far as We know,
does not propose to set up any despotism
over any portion Of her Inhabitants. She
only claims an influence equal to New
York, in United States Senate; and to
this she is not entitled. True, she has
precedent in her favor, and is better emit
tied to a place in a family of Republican
States than South Carolina, but one wrong
does not Justify another; and Dacotah
should be Territory, not State.
However, we congratulate our friend
Gov. Barber upon his accession to the
gubernatorial chair; and wish him large
measure of prosperity, although he did
try to beat us on beets, last summer, by
sending down bundle Of his Red River
esculents; and though he did not keep his
promise to act Breckenridge reporter for
the DEMOCRAT:

acquainted with the transactions.
This week W, lay the account before
on. readers; and ask them to considerit.
The robberyshe speaks OF is the same
We noticed at The t:nic, as committed, at
the instance Of leading. politicians, upon
MIR. SIMMONS, in revenge fer his refusal
to credit. Tho denoucmcnt has fixed
the guilt upon the very, men then sus-
pected.
When such men as these hold Offices Of
trust from the Z. S. Government and the
people Of Minnesota what arc those peo-
pie to expect; but that our young State
will obtain loud reputation abroad.
In the late election they have struck a
heavy blow at the rule OF rufiianism in
this fair land, that blow they must follow
up, by continuing to elect such men as
their choice then fell upon, men of known
integrity and unblemished morals, or our
country will be left to wild beasts and
wilder men.
In two particulars We think the writer
for the 1Mnncsotiam mistaken, viz: in
thinking that Mr.. SWEET or Mr.. RlcB-
ARusoN had any completely in screening
the rufians from justice, that is if this
Mr.. RICHARDSON is our present Senator.
We have never met this gentleman or
received any communication from him
but upon diligent inquiry are convinced
he is one who would be likely to act justly
and honorably in any case. We make
this statement as an act Of justice to him
and the more readily because we think
our reporter for the "Democratic" Con-
vcntion'at Sank Rapids, misunderstood
that gcntlcman's position in assuming that
the Moccasins had whipped him into the
traces" His conduct throug hcut the sub
sequcnt canvass, proved that he had not
been whipped in; but that he maintained
his devotion to principle and the rights Of
the people.
It will! require good, strong prof to
convince us that either he or Mr.. SWEET
Intentionally gave "aid or comfort" to any

MIR. Douglas

VIC regret to learn that Senator i'ouG-
LAS has mt enancipcted his slaves. It
has been generally known for years that
his first wife left him Il large number of
Slaves on a plantation in Louisiana but
last winter when he was recognized as the
champion Of Freedom in Kansas, it WAS
understood that he had in some way bro
&en his connection with the institution of
slavery. This was mistake, he still
lives upon the unpaid labor of his fellow
Men.
and Mr.. SLspEI. Southern Democrat
says, "the condition of his slaves is o.s-
grace to the owner. They are badly fed,
badly clothed, and excessively overworkcd."
In this view Of the. case we beg leave to
take back every word We have ever said
III favor Of Mr.. DOUGLAS.
We particularly, especially, pointedly and
personally repudiate him now and forever.
The man who claims to own his neigh
bors wife; the right to take an infant IRON
its mothers arms, and sell it like :: dumb
beast, is no Democrat He who would
buy and sell one class Of laborers would
buy and sell any other class OF laborers if
he had the power :
Every man, no matter what his color, or
in what country he was born, has right
to the proceeds Of his own labor, to live
with and protect his own wife and chill
"!ren; and he who denies t.: the poorest,
the }1smhlv;s; on most ignorant these ina
1ienablc lights IS I; dangerous ariStocrat !;
and has not one drop Of DensocI;;tic blood
in his veins.
What are the Kings, l:,npercrs and
l.orllings Of Europe Who tax and Cypress
the laborers Of their various lands, to CON-
pare to these petty lorllngs who buy and
sell working rlcn, whip women and steal
babies in our own land.
Is set the cry Of the oppressed gone UP
into the ears Of the Lord Of Sabbaoth, and
will he not visit with his judgements the
oppressor who sets his heel upon the neck
OF Gods suffering poor? lie who holds
his fellow man in bondage is an enemy to
God and man, is unGt for any place Of
trust, for the confidence Of any people.
We account crery Shareholder as dan
:;erous enemy to his race; and feel as much
bound to strike him the hardest blow in
our powc. as VIC do to kill a,.y snake that
crosses our path. So, oug democratic
friends who feel like adhe:in:; to the for
tunes Of Senator ouglas, need not expect
aid or comfort from US. We shall stick
to the interests of free labor, free men,
free soil and continue to honor the men
who work for their own living, and pay
the laborcr his hire. Those lordl;.igs who
must have slaves to work for and wait up
on them We dcspisc from the inmost
depths ofou soul; and always feel like
splitting upon them wherever VIC meet.
