History.

y amin 80 a.
We had hoped to get done with the St.
Cloud type burglars, and to get leave to at
tend to our proper bushes; but 50 it is not
decreed. Gen. Lowrey had, to all appear
ance, retired from the firm, and we did not
think it likely that Jeemes and the poor
little doctor could do anything that would
induce us to refer to them again; but
Jeems has got through with his New York
tour, has raised some money and brought
suit against the St. Cloud printing compa-
ny for SIC, 700, the price he sets on his
wife's reputation. III. ..z.
It appears improbable this could have
been done withnut the conniyance of Gen.
Lowry. The object Of the suit is evident
ly to keep. up the idea, they first advanced,
that the quarrel began with our review Of
Jeemes' lecture. This places US under
the necessity Of going more particularly
into the origin Of the trouble than We have
yet done.
Dr.. Palmer, was our family physician in
Pennsylvania. He and Henry swisshelm
emigrated together to Minnesota and
wrote back such representations Of the
country, that several families from Ale
gbcny county we're induced to cmisratc.

Take notice that the Visiter has not re-
fered to those fellows who destroyed the
Office since the issue of the first number
after that act, when it was necessary to
give history of the matter, that we have
freely stated that we intended never again
to alude to them, except to relieve Mrs.
shepley of the odium cast upon her, by
her long-eared lord, as being tie original Of
our picture Of a coquette, that after five
weeks Of silence we voluntarily gave a full
account Of our meeting with the women
who especially furnished us with the Inca
ments of that picture; and that the next
week Jeemes and two other democratic
lawyers have been using their utmost ef-
forts, under terror Of a suit for Islander, to
get the stockholders 70 bind themselves
that the discussion Of the press destruction
should be finally discontinued. !, Then, if
any Of those gentlemen should run for Of

A Change.

BEFORE. issuing the Esiter on the new
typelwe proposed to members Of the COM
mittee ofstock holders to place the paper
on some basis where we alone should be le-
gally responsible for our words; but they
just laughed in our face and said Ego
ahead" Last week when we found that
Jeemes had reached the achme Of imperti-
nance and entered suit against them for
SANDER, We positively refused to continue
our connection with the paper unless they
would get out of the way: They had new
acknowledgements attempt to dictateaor
control our course, but We like TO feelsoie-
ly responsible for our acts and would have
rented the Office from them Learning
our decision they had meeting and vo-
ted unanimously to present it to us, thus
showing continuance Of that generous
confidence with which they have honored
us from the first; and we trust they may
never regret it. We are now sole propri-
etor and editor of the St. Cloud Nistter as
the result Of the unremitting and desper-
ate efforts Of the Buchanan democracy to
get rid Of our opposition to the administers
tion: If they are not satisfied we hope
they soon will be- The stock holders have
resolved to defend, to the utmost, this bogus
SANDER suit, and give the burglars as much
law as will satisfy them. We commence a
minute history of the affair in this issue;
and have had friend write to Mr.. Swiss
helm the position of affairs so that he may,
if he pleases, take measures to relieve him
self Of any accountability for our proceed
ings. We shall issue no paper next week
to give him time to act; and then contin
ne the history in the plainest anglo saxon
we can command. We were warned this
morning of an organization Of armed men
got up, our informant thinks, to dispose of
us personally, Of the visiter Office, or both.
We trust they will have nice time; and
be as successful as they have been in their
legal negotiations to frighten or coax the
stockholders into a written engagement
that "this subject shall not in future be
discussed in the Nsiter." H.
