POLITICAL.
WILLIAM WINDOW, CANDI.
DATE FOR CONGRESS.
He is proved to be a Know Nothing and
LIAR.

dom received the votes of the Re.
pudiation delegates from Hennepin
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. It was
upon such assurances, that Window
was enabled to beat Norton. The
Winona Democrat has since fastened
the lie upon both Buck and Window,
by producing the articles disagreement
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 s., 900 per year
extra professional fees and all ex-
pcnses to be paid by the company
1t has since been commended that Win
dom was merely IN attorney to ne
gotiate 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-
ri6ed our virtuous Hennepin county
friends. OF course, no Republican,
will contend that Mr.. Window was
conducting right.of way negotiation
with this centric fallen angel.
But we propose to submit MIR. Win
dom's reputation for veracity to a
more severe test than this. 1t will be
rccollected 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,
in 1854, and that he was sent as a
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:--irrrcfu,able proof
to sustain our statements. But Mr..
Window, conscientious and zeal
GUS church member as he claims to
be, has denounced on the stump, the
proofs as forgeries, and the statements
made in this journal, as falsehoods.
In a letter to the Times editor, Mr..
Window says:
DEAR S1R.---1 have just learned that
the PIONEER has long article in re-
lation to Know Nothinglsm, in which
with great deal Of parade, the editor
charges me with being member of
the order.
l PRONOUNCE THE WHOLE
CHARGE AN UNMITlGATED
LIE.
l understand Cavanangh claims
that he has certain publications made
by authority. Ii this is true, he has
discovered kind Of Know Nothing
ism l never heard of:
Yours, WM. WINDOW.
Now let US see who is the liar, Mr..
Window or the Pioneer and Demo-
crat The following letter received
from prominent gentleman in Mount
Vernon, Ohio, will aid US materially
in determining this question
