POLITICAL.
WILLIAM WINDOW, CAN
DATE FOR CONGRESS.
He is proved TO be Know Nothing and
LIAR.

dom received the votes Of the Re
pudiation delegates from Hennepir
County, in the Republican State con
vention, upon the solemn and public
assurance of Mr.. Buck, WINDOWS
representative, that Window was In
no manner connected with the Rail
road interests Of the State. 1t wa.
upon such assurances, that Window
was enabled to beat Norton. The
Winona Democrat has since fastened
the lie upon both Buck and Windom
by producing the articles ofagreemen,
between William Window, and the
Transit Railroad Company, by which
the former agreed to serve the com
pany, by which the company as their
attorney, at the rate of $4,000 per year
extra professional fees and all ex
Ipenses to be paid by the company
1t has since been contended that Win
dom was merely an attorney to ne.
gotiatc for the way. But the Demo.
crat has disproved this, by showing
that it was Mr.. Window who nego.
tiated, compromised or settled, on be.
half Of the Railroad Company, the
claim Of Mistress Hall, Of Washing
ton City, which so shocked and hor.
ritied our virtuous Hennepin county
friends. OF course, no Republican
will contend that Mr.. Window was
conducting right.of way negotiation
with this ccentric fallen angel.
But We propose to submit MIR Win.
dom's reputation for veracity to 4
more severe test than this. 1t will be
rccolected that few weeks since,
We charged that he joined a Know
Nothing lodge, and assumed the obi.
cations Of a member Of that order at
Mount Vernon, Knox county, Ohio
lin 1854, and that he was sent as 4
delegate to the Grand Council Of the
State OF Ohio, in the same year--thus
showing that he not only joined, but
actively participated in the proceed
ings OF the dark lantern order. We
produced proof:--irrrctu,able proof
to sustain our statements. But NJ.
Window, conscientious and zeal
Gus church member as he claims tc
be, has denounced on the stump, the
proofs as forgeries, and the statement:
made in this Journal, as falschoods.--
In letter to the Times editor, Mr.
Window says:
DEAR S1E.---I have just learned tha
the PIONEER has a long article in re
lation to Know Nothinglsm, in which
with a great deal Of parade, the editor
charges me with being member o.
| the order.
PRONOUNCE THE WHOLE
| CHARGE AN UNMITlGATED
LIE.
| understand Cavanangh claims
that he has certain publications made
by authority. Ii this is true, he has
discovered kind Of Know Nothing
ism never heard of.
Yours, WM. WINDOW
