Democratic district proved that. Still fur
Their, the betrayed Democracy charge that
ArwATERs bosom friends, under his prompt
ings, wrote and sent letters to old leading
Democrats up the Mississippi River, urging
them to work and vote for RAMSEY, AID.
RICH and VANDERBURG. This is no hearsay.
It can be proved, and will be, if it is denied.
The positive fact needs hardly to be proved,
for do not the returns from that, the hereto
fore strongest Democratic region of the
State, show that treachery was at its foul
work?
Now, after all this, which we know and
feel, to hear this same Judge ArwATER
charge you, who have labored so fearlessly
and faithfully for Democratic principles and
men, with being traitor and Black Repub-
lican to boot, is more than Democratic hu-
man nature can bear. The remnant of the
Democratic party here, that this mans
treachery has left unsoiled, expect and pray
that you will tear the mask from off the
traitors face, and by exposing his hypocrisy,
deprive him Of the power which he has here
tofore stealthily used for the distraction and
defeat of the Democratic party.

The Fate Of Young Cook.

1t will be seen by reference to the dis
patch from Charlestown, Va, that JOHN
Z. Cook, arrested in Pennsylvania as one
of the Harper's Ferry conspirators, was
undergoing his trial on that account on the
7th and 9Th instants. We have met many
persons who knew Cook years ago, who
give good account of his culture and char
acter before the fend of fanaticism took
possession of him, and who, while they abb
hor the terrible crime with which he is i'm.
plicated, express the hope that be may be
saved from felon's death on the gallows.
We sympathize with this hope on many
accounts. Cook is evidently young man,
of nervous, impossible, generous, daring
nature, the last of men to concoct an insur-
rection, and yet among the first who, from
his susceptibility to appeals of even false
philanthropy, would be likely to engage in
one like that at Harpers Ferry. We can
understand how he could se made at once
the instrument and the victim of a man pos
sessing Browns iron will, his tireless energy,
and bis allpervading fanaticism, without
being degraded to the felon's rank of the
common, brutal murderer. We believe
that underneath a delusion which, in its
results, at least, was criminal, there lies in
him frank, true generous nature, and that
we hope to see spared from fate which
should be awarded only to the utterly vile
in heart as we'll as in deed.
There is another reason why we hope to
see the extreme vengeance of the law softened
in the punishment which in some sort must
overtake him. And it is one in which is
involved to our mind the most terrible aspect
of crime. In the death OF Cook upon the
gallows, the suffering falls infinitely harder
upon the innocent than upon the guilty. We
know that this is not in law valid reason
why the punishment of crime should be re-
mitted or committed. And yet, it has
seemed to us that there is very much in the
past devotion of Governor WILLARD to those
constitutional rights which have been 50
recklessly invaded by his fanatical kinsman,
which might properly appeal to Virginia
chivalry, even though it might not influence
Virginia justice.

offered to bride the Quarter Master at this port
and myself, with view of securing either to
yourself or your friend, the contract for supply

gentlemen holding commissions in the army are
not in the habit of receiving brides, or of de-
frauding the government for their own person

ST.. ANTHONY, Noy. II, 1859.

d. ANIdONI, NOfs IL, 1OoSs
Editors Pioneer and Democrat.
The Democracy of this place were as
founded this morning at the mendacious
leader of the Express, charging you with
being Black Republicans, and your paper
with having done more to aid and comfort
the enemy, than any other paper in the State.
I suppose you know who the author of that
article is. Every one here knows it to be
the production of Mr.. Justice ArwArER.
JOHNSON, the nominal editor, can't write.
All he did write of the article were the last
four words" Stick pin here"
1t is certainly refreshing to US Democrats
in St. Anthony to hear Judge ATwArER
come out against you in the manner he has.
For we all know, and feel it, too, that to this
very veracious Judge we eve our over
whelming defeat in this Representative dis
trict. To his unprincipled course is due
the defeat of our two sterling Democratic
candidates for the Legislature. The night
before the election, an extra Express was
issued, edited by Judge ATwArER, filled
with the most loathsome personal abuse and
falsehoods against the opposition candidates
so disgustipgly false, that we Democrats,
to free ourselves from the odum that they
cast upon our party, were forced to brand
the author as an infamous libeller. No one
pretended to deny that Judge ArwATER
wrote the editorials of the extra. Of course
the Black Republicans took advantage of it,
and they got the sympathy of every Demo
crat who knew their utter falsity.
Judge ArwATER's extra alone saved Sc
coMBE from utter defeat. He was the most
unpopular man that the Blacks had in their
party. This defeat was sure before that ex-
ira appeared. But that turned the tide in
his favor. He got aid and comfort in abun-
dance from the Supreme Court Judges
mendacity. That extra was circulated in a
large meeting of Blacks the night before the
election. SEcoMBE got hold Of it while
speaking to cold and unenthusiastic audi
ence, and read it to them. From that time
the tide turned. His success was certain.
He unhesitatingly charged Judge ArwArER
with being the author ; and amidst the most
demonstrative cheering, said that the author
had been unanimously nominated by grand
jury of Hennepin county to high position
in the State Penitentiary, for the foul crime
of PERJURY and only escaped an election
by quibble-not daring to let petit jury
vote for him. That was enough. The men
slandered by such man were sure of their
election. The next day our party, that had
the misfortune to have such base slanderer
IA it, was overwhelmingly defeated.
More still. This same Judge Arw4rEH
played the traitor to our upright and >ster.

recollect how the Express treated him

Friday night, cold wind which had been blow

with a fearful violence, making old frame build
ings quake and scattering shingles and signs
and "sich like" in every direction. Such arti-
Giles as old carriag s, hen coops, and other in
firm structures that happened TO be "lying
around loose" were tumbled and tossed about
here aud there. Flags were torn into shreds
and such excrescences as had possession of the
streets were swept away into more obscure
and appropriate places. Pedestrianisrn was
out of the question. Man in the streets was en-

Staid, sober people were aroused from their yir-

were assaulting their dwellings outside. The
indter hereof was caught in the storm and so
fierce was the wind and so numerous were the
loose things circulating about his head, that for
time, society, and mankind in general, were
in danger of looSing one of their brightest orna

violence, the swinging signs continued to creak,
the wind sung dismal lullaby without, and
