African Slave Trade.

The Savannah (Ga) Republican has all
along insisted that the movement in behalf of
the Slave Trade at the South is of little i'm
portance, but in recent number it comedies
that the measure is growing upon Southern
opinion, and states, in illustration of the fact,
that nine-tenths of the delegates in the Dem
ocratic Congressional Convention of that Dis
trict went for the repeal of the law against the
Slave Trade, while every single aspirant for
the nomination declared himself for the reyi-
val of the Trade. According to the Republi
ca" there are two classes Of the Slave Trade
party, one going for the actual revival of the
Trade, the other for the repeal of the laws
against it, not because they care about the
trade, but because those laws are a STANDING
condemnation of Slavery,

Wright County Governed by Mob Law

wright County Governed by Mob Law.
Wright County is in deplorable state
Law and order are set aside, and mob rule
has been substituted therefor. In the first
place citizen of the County, who was fairly
tried and acquitted for a crime against the
laws, in due form, is seized by an Infatuated
mob, instgated and led on by men who are
thought to be the real perpetrators of the
crime, and murdered in open day, defiantly
and unblushingly. The perpetrators of this
diabolical murder, many in number, must of
course be we'll known to the inhabitants of
the neighborhood, and every one who did so
know them and failed to make complaint and
point them out, and quietly abetted the out
rage, are accessories, and, by our statutes,
criminate themselves. Then one of the gang
being apprehended and duly put on examine
ton, is taken out of the custody of the off.

tering imprecations and threats against all
who should endeavor to thwart them or seek
to execute jnstiee. This is outrage on out
rage. Are all the inhabitants of Wright
County outlaws? Are there none who wish
to see justice executed, laws respected, order
If so, let them join with the
proper officers of law, and endeavor, by pun
ishing the whole gang, or the worst ringlead-
ers, to silence the opprobrium these outrages |
will bring on their name, and the name of the
whole State, too-and purge Wright County
from the stigma of being nest of law-break-
,rs, ruffians and outlaws.

the attempt to displace Democratic Cover
nor, and GUST himself, by the exposure of the
Democratic forgeries of votes in the Counties
on the Upper Mississippi, committed at the
election in the fall of 1857. And, reluctant
as we are to say it, we assure the Pioneer,
there are some who recollect also the manner
in which Judge EMME- prestituted his hi,h
position, to fulfil the unfit demands of a polit-
ical party" when he went up to the Second
Ward Folls of St. Paul and voted an open
ticket for the Irish tinker Howard to be Grim
inal Judge of our City, instead of Judge Or
LANDo SMoNs, the best, most sternly upright,
and fearless Criminal Judge this or any other
City ever possessed. A Chief Justice whose
partizanship is so gross, as to vote to consign
our criminal judiciary for two years into such
VIGOROUSLY incompetent and disgraceful hands
as those Of Mr.. HOWARD, most people will
concede is not exactly the most impartial kind
of man to whom could be safely entrusted to
sit in judgment upon case involving his own
honest election, and the exposure Of the utter
and deep dyed rascality of his party.
The Pioneer, we observe, hinges much point
upon the Supreme Judges being ''men Of un-
doubted integrity in private life" Perhaps
perhaps, only. We desire not to 60 deeply
INTO those private matters, and will not if the
Pioneer but acts upon the motto that "discre-
ton is the better part of valor." But if it
thinks to make out case against Gov. RAM
sEY because he saw the folly of attempting q
"partizan contest" before such Court which,
if it ever had, has now completely lost the
confidence of the whole people, both as to its
political impartiality, its legal ability, and
and its official integrity,-we shall not with
hold the dissecting knife, and shall probe deep
and thoroughly into all the ulcers. Our friends
of the Pioneer, therefore, had better be warn
ed in time and keep their Supreme Court in

The Re.AFrest OF MRS, Bilansky.

The details of this interesting event will be
found in our local column. We are glad to
be able to record it for the sake of maintain
ing the supremacy of the laws over corrup-
ton, negligence and duplicity. Her escape
was an undoubted outrage upon and insult to
the whole community her re-arrest length
ems and strengthens the arm of the law for
the future, and tends to discountenance ope-
rations by Judge Lynch, as being unnecessa-
nv where the penalties of the law are surely
enforced 1t is moral as we'll as physical
victory, in which every honest person in the
community shares. That the murderess did
not get clear off, with her paramour, we claim
is due to the persistent |" hue and cry raised
by the Republican daily press of St. Paul,
which kept public attention constantly alive
to the delinquency of the Jail officials, and
stimulated the police to vindicate themselves
and the laws, by untiring exertions for her
apprehension. We claim this credit for the
Republican press of St. Paul exclusively, be-
cause the silence observed by the Pioneer and
Democrat throughout this whole business, has
been most marked. That press can daily
abuse poor BUCHANAN, who is away off at
Washington City, without stint; but for the
negligence or malfeasance of Democratic
County officials, right under its nose, Demo-
cratic local policy forbade it should have more

In vain the public looked yesterday through
the columns of the Pioneer and Democrat for
that necessary correction" of its falsifca-
ton Of the records of Democratic South Car
DINA by which seven instead of five years is
required in that State before foreign-born citi-
zens can be allowedt to VOTE Our Democratic
organ, which was before so rampant and in
solent, appears to be suddenly struck dumb
Like the boy in the morning, it has nothing to
say. 1t seems entirely oblivious to the fact,
that the Charleston Mercury, the great Benz
ocratic newspaper OF South Carolina, informs
the public that law does exist in that State
DISTINGUISHING the foreigner for term of two
years after he has received his certificate of
naturalization" and that this law twas first
enforced in Charleston at the election for
Mayor in 1857" The Southern Guardian,
also the Democratic organ published at Co.
lumbia, the Capital of the State, says that
the allegation that foreigner can vote in
South Carolina as soon as naturalized is erro-
neous, and ought to be corrected" The same
paper informs us, coolly, as follows:
Except as to votes and as to hair while to the
legislature and Executive DEN and as to
serving as jurors, there IS nof at present
any discrimination between Wand natu-
rallied iE South Carolina.

Does the Fiaqesr hear that last piece of ad-
vice? sour Northern friends must in flu
ture be more cautious" That Is to say, pa
pers like the Pioneer must in future take
care not TO lie whenever there are records to
contradict and confound them! They "must
DO more cautiOus!"
| But to recur again to that correction
that necessary correction - We hope
our contemporary is not going to ignore this
important matter entirely. Its own readers
whose confidence has been so grossly abused
by the Infamous falsehood' which it thus
"coined" for party purposes, they at least
have right to know the truth-to know
that, notwithstanding a man born abroad
may have previously lioed t.oenty, ten or yJsot
years in the Democratic State of South Caro-

The Pioneer Still Dumb About South
caroline.

Cafonna.
The Pioneer appears determined to "die
and make no sign."
Not word has it yet uttered of that me-
cessary correction" about Democratic South
Carolina requiring foreigner who has resid-
ed five years within her borders, to still re
side two gears longer after being natusaliSed
before he is allowed to vote!
Not a word has 1t yet spoken in acknow-
ledgment of its gross Justification Of the re-
cords of South Carolina-a Justification know
ingly perpetrated to make political capital, re-
CARELESS Of the obligations of truth and fair
dealing!
There is no excuse for its present tit of
the editorial lockjaw. The true facts from
the South Carolina records-the testimony Of
Mr.. Take-back HUNT, and that of the two
leading Democratic papers of the State-that
foreigners are there prescribed from voting,
holding office and serving on juries-have
been duly spread before its eyes since Mon
day last-we have even gone to the trouble
of especially calling its attention to the facts
yet, surprising to say, two issues of the
Pioneer have since appeared without q single
word being spoken in its columns of that
necessary correction" SO loudly required
by its previous misrepresentation.
What does the Pioneer mean by this dis
graceful mum course of conducts Having
said that the "horse was sixteen feet high,
does it mean to stick to it," in defiance of its
proved falsitys
1t would seem so. 1t would seem as if it
had suddenly adopted the advice so gener-
ously rendered by the Southern Guardian,
that " our Northern friends must in future be
more cautious" but adopted it with varia-
ton not intended by the author. We fear.
from its present and painful silence on this
matter, after its previous high-horse and most
insolent splurging, that our contemporary mis-
apprehends the true purport of this advice of
i& Democratic brother of the South This
advice We think was only intended to warn
Democratic Northern presses to not, in the
first place. tell any more incautious falsehoods
about Southern laws on foreigners, which
their records might contradict-but it was
never, we are confident, designed to bear the
Interpretation the Pioneer and Democrat is
evidently giving it-and that is, to tell lie
boldly for political effect, and when detected
and exposed, to be extremely " cautious" in
making the necessary correction" in regard
TO its falsity, in the columns in which the
falsehood originally appeared. This, we as
sure the Pioneer, Is perverting the caution
given BY the organ of the Southern chivalry,
in regular doughface fashion,
But we live in hopes, though not bright
hopes, that it will yet toe the mark drawn by
honor and rectitude That it will vet show
itself honest and fair for once That it will

Letter from Mr., DOnnelly.

Yesterday morning We received from Mr.
DoNNELLY, by mail, Letter No. 4, of his Sc.
ries, ITO the Foreign Born Citizens of Min
nesota." 1t is in all respects noble and gal.
liant letter.
In the Pioneer of yesterday morning ap.
peared communication signed john w.
DOYLE, Lakeville, Dakota County, respecting
Mr.. DoNNELLY, and in abuse of him as "a de-
serter )" as having "taken blood money ;" as
a Benedict Arnold and much other similar
vile stuff. This DOYLE, who claims to be an
Irishman, was formerly Foreman of Mr.. Gill
MANS Foundry in the First Ward of ST.
Paul. Has a delightful character, and to
what extent his word may be relied upon for
anything he says, can be fully ascertained by
of Mr.. GILMAN, or of Gen. SHIELDS
and Mr.. ONsTINE of Farabault His especial
animus against Mr. DoNNELLY is this Last
fall DOYLE managed to skull-dug himself up
on the Democratic ticket for the State Senate
in Dakota County. In that strong Irish
County so little is his influence, and so little
esteemed his character, that he was the low
est man on his ticket haying less votes
than Mr.. DoNNELLY who was one of the Re-
publican candidates for the same Office. Mr.
DOYLE thinks If Mr.. DoNNELLY beat him at
the polls, he will revenge himself by abusing
him in the papers.

whose Democracy is established to be of the

tains more negro slaves in proportion to the
white population than any other State of the

1t seems, that while it is doubtful whether
they can hold Office at all, it is certain natu-
rallied foreigners must reside in the State
three years after naturalization before they
can become members of the lower branch of
the State Legislature-five years before they
can be State Senators-and ten years before
they would be eligible to the offices of Gov
