DIsGRAcErUL FOR OLD AaE.-In our pa
per of Jan. 26th, we took occasion to notice
what we considered as base attempt on the
part of the st. Paul Times, to aid and give
comfort to our natural enemies, the Minnesota
Democracy, by endeavoring to hold up sever
al as good and true Republicans as Minnesota
can boast of, to the Republican party, as con-
spirators against the just rights, interests,
peace, and harmony of the party.
1t has continued its daily abuse of these
men for some time, without producing as yet,
any very serious impression upon the Repub-
lican party or making any converts to the
party in whose behalf the Times is evidently
laboring, the Sibley Democracy. But the
venerable editor has finally resolved to deck
bis hoary locks with Groom of intamy-we
hope the inexperienced and youthful editors
of the State, of either political party, would
blush to wear.
In the Times of the Goth of JAM, the editor
publishes what he says was priuate letter to
himself, from Battle Greek, Mich, by Judge
Cooper. Whether the Judge wrote the let
ter, or whether he did not is matter of which
we know nothing; and in our humble opinion
which, as we are by no means experienced
in editorial practice, we venture, of course, on
this occasion, to express with some diffidence
it makes very little difference 1t by no
means lessons the infamy of the venerable
editors act, if the Judge did write just as the
old gent says he did. ..,..,
Taking his own version of the matter to be
true, it is violation of private confidence,
which no man worthy of q respectable place
in the editorial fraternity of Minnesota would
be guilty of. ....t. -..,
The good of the party requires no sacrifice
of selfrespect or base betrayal of private con-
fdence. -.-

abundantly able and capable of guarding it.

There is altogether too great display of

The would-be venerable patriarch of the
Republican party is undoubtedly somewhat
annoyed that the whole Republican party will
not sit at his feet and be taught in every par
ticular; and consequently like certain noto-
rious individual of old, he is bound to betray
not only private confidence, but the Republi-
can party, by producing, Is he hopes, q d.
