We neglected to state /; at the proper
time, viz: two weeks ago, that Receiver
CARUTHERs has declined his own nomina-
tion for Congress. In letter to the FPio-
neer & Democrat he says he will not run.
Running is not his forte. He is going to
stand and Aght:-dght manfully-6ght

the end those honorable black Republi-

right of Chiralry to whip women and

He isn't going to stand il, he isn't to

lore Proof The Forgeries of the
q! Last State canvass. .Admitted

We hasten to copy from the Chatfeld
Republican of the 2lst inst, a paper edit
cd by Senator Holly, the following admiss-
ions made in Fillmore County by Ex-Gov.
German, touching the Frauds and Forger-
les attending the last State Canvass by
which Mr.: Sibley became acting Governor.
Gov. German testides to that which we
knew and charged long ago. j 1t is, as he
intimates,s an iundoubted fact, that the first
,forgeries from aCass, Todd and Penlbina''
did not afford sufficient votes to elect Sib,
ley. lse5o@~-. 49, gzszr~ lrs>s.s
~ But when the returns from Lake Supe-
riec were received, and found SO unexpec-
teddy favorable to Ramsey, Rice was made
sponsibleJfor the result up there by the
rSibley branchsof the dMoccasinites.
7 A leading red faced friend Of Rice, was
thereupon heard to say, tsweN, this Lake
Superior return has kicked up such fuss
that to save Henry for Senator we'll have
now to go to work aud. fix up differently y
Then it was, that 1.-THE famous stSunday
Caucus" of the Democratic leaders, princi-
fpally if not wholly the chief Rice men, was
held at the American House. n <
d There it was, that Secretary Chase sta.
ted the footing up of the returns as they
stood in his Office, and that something
must be done or Ramsey was elected ~

Berlin Heights and Buffalo

1 Tholoyers Of Berlin Heights have ia
yored us with acopy of'their paper, Con-
trary to- our custom with such publica-
tons VIC reaa before burning it; and find
that these people have not been misreprc-
scented. ~c->
+ The paper is chiefly devoted to. proving,
matrilnony device of the Evil One.
As we are quite out Of the reach Of Ely.
mental temptations. We can get up no per-
sonal interest in the question but remark,
as matter Of business and mere spccula~
tive philosophy, that, although VIC are an
xious to induce a goodly number'o of folks
to come up to the Buffalo platns,, We o.
jcct, decidedly, to having the entire race
elevated to that plane Of the buffalo which,
has NO lin it, but which ends with an e
the double beginning Of every evil. #%3 ~
These shaggy nlonarchs Of the prairie
are very clever fellows; and command the
respect of all their neighborsbut we do not
envy them their domestic institutions-do
not, in fact, believe they are much better
adapted to mankind, in perfect state, than
are the patriarchal regulations of South
Carolina. 49,. .rs>:j :.ia: ~ nj ~: .,.I
It would be difficult to show that the
Berlin Height folks, and the Buffalo, are
much in advance of Chiyalry and Chick
endom where every masculine biped has a
harcm, which the honor of his spurs re-
quites him to defend from all outsiders.
IF the king of the BuGalos subscribed
for our paper and paid in advance as he
ought to do, we would not insult him and
and his subjects by comparing them to the
bipeds Of Berlin Heights; but as, old Shay
gy-head has overlooked the claims Of the
advance press in the tide of art (which is
driving him westward, no =! he deserves to
be insulted, and libeled, and blackballed
to boot; but truth requires us to say that
Berlin Heightism is long way beyond
beastliness. r.: ~..:i ....4
Their organ very properly denies the
existence Of God. The fool has always
said in his heart 'thcre is no God !" and
we think these creatures can add the tes-
timony Of their heads to the non existence
Of any such being. Their understandings
can surely unite with their desires in dis
carding all ideas Of Supreme Ruler, for
they can ask the unanswerable question.
If there is a just and holy God why are
,oc suffered on His footstool !? They can
not b. expected to understand their own
insignifcance in thu, scale of the great
Universe; and to them the argument i'm
piled in such question must be conclu-
sive; for nothing in their. own nature can
give any evidence Of the possibility of a
being destitute of merely animal passions

and truth" =. -*.: ~
All Of these papers which come to us
in future, VIC shall burn, unread. If the
publisher thinks this will pay we will be
glad to have him send on his entire edi-
