THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT
Letter From sts.rn. County.
Correspondence of the Pioneer and Democrat.
ST.. JOSEPH, STEARNs Co., Mimi,
An0ust 90 1900


Correspondence of the Pioneer and Democrat.
ST.. JOSEPH, STEARNs Co., MIMI,
August 20, 1860.
There was large and enthusiastic gath
ering of the Democracy at this place last
night, which was addressed in the open air
by Mr.. Andrews, candidate for Presidential
elector. Mr.. Andrews spoke in high terms
of the Democratic candidates for Congress,
and OF the other gentlemen on the ticket
with him. He said they would make a
most determined effort to carry the State
for Douglas and johnson, and would receive
the aid of hundreds of talented and Jealous
Democrats in the State. He discussed the
principle of non-intervention with slavery
in the territories, and urged that it deserved
the support of every patriot. Thayer, of
Massachusetts, and many other Republicans
had acquiesced in the justice of that princi-
pie. He said the Democrats had hereto
fore lost strength in the north because the
people were afraid the party had conceded
too much to the pro-slavery party. Those
men were not abolitionists, and they dis
liked the company they had fallen into, and
now that they saw that the Democracy
were inaexible in adhering to principles,
they would come back. They were fast
rolling back into the line. Douglas would
gain ten votes in the north for every one be
lost in the south. The politicians were
against Douglas, because they could not use
him, but the people were with him. Mr..
Andrews then undertook to show that the
Republicans did not deserve the confidence
of the people, and ought not to have power.
They had done no good but much evil. The
meeting closed at ten o'clock, with loud
cheers for Douglas and johnson.
You may count on four hundred majority
in this county for Douglas. This township
alone will give one hundred and fifty major
ity for him! We are much annoyed by
the prospect of land sale, but we know
Douglas has always been true to the iron.
Herman, and we will not desert him.

Failure OF Union In VIRGINIA.

The Richmond papers publish the propo-
sitions sent by telegraph between the Char
lottesvile (BREcK1NR1DGE) and the Staun-
ton (DoUeLAs) Conventions. The former
proposed an Electoral ticket to vote for
such of the two candidates as the majority
of the Democrats of the State should indi-
cate. The Stauntion Convention proposed
a joint Electoral ticket to vote for such
candidate as should be strongest, taking the
Electoral Colleges of the several States.
Neither proposition was accepted, nor in
fact considered by the opposing Conventions.
The Staunton proposition is the basis up
on which the North Carolina Register sup
ports the Electoral ticket in that State.
We copy the inscription it places over its
list of Electors
We shall support this ticket for President and
Vice President on these conditions That the
Electors will vote for the strongest maa, Breck-
inridge or Douglas. as the case may be, against
Lincoln. That is, if the vote of this State will
elect either of them over Lincoln, or will put
either of them in the House, it is to be cast &C.
cOrdngly. But if the vote will elect neither.
nor put either of them in the House, the Elec
tors to vote as they please.

Hon. w. 81. SEWARD, the very embodi.
ment and soul of Black Republicanism, has
recently been making an electioneering trip
to Maine, where he made q number of
speeches. In Boston, on his way, he had a
very handsome reception, and addressed a
large crowd from the balcony Of the Re-
we're House. His speech was extremely
radical on the slavery question, enough to
suit Garrison and Phillips. He thus set
forth the issues upon which the Black Re-
publicans are fighting, the present campaign:
l. That they have nominated Abraham Lin
coin as their standard bearer, "confessing the
obligations of the HIGHER LAW"
2. That they are contending "for veal or woe,
for life or death. in the IRREPRESSIBLE CON-
FLICT betiueen freedom and slavery

The Texas DRoUTH.--The Memphis IN.
peal publishes letter from Limestone coun-
ty, Texas, which states: Wheat is held
here at from two to three dollars per bushel,
and corn at one dollar and half to two
dollars per bushel, and very scarce at that
price. Many people here will have to
live on beef alone another year, without
bread or pork. In large portions of the
country water is so scarce that it is dis.
tressing to see the stock. A great many
farmers have driven their stock from twenty
to forty miles to water. Where there is
water there is no grass for miles around,
from the fact of there being such immense
herds of stock driven to drink, wherever
water is to be found. The Brazos river has
ceased to run, and in many places its bed
is as dry as the floor of powder house."
The best customers the farmers of the north
west will have during the ensuing twelve
months, will be the planters of the south.

Senator Douglas ON the Stump.

Some of the Republican papers pretend
that Senator DOUGLAS finds an excuse for
his travelling tour and public speeches in a
visit that he intends to make his mother in
Ontario county, New York. They have
drawn on their fancy for this statement.
Senator DOUGLAS addresses the people be-
cause his friends desire that he should, and
he himself does not coincide in the snobbish
idea that Presidential candidate lowers bis
dignity or that of the Office by appearing
before the sovereigns of the country. That
is an old Federal idea at war with genuine
Democratic sentiment. Mr.. DOUGLAS is
eminently above the concealments above
evasions Of any kind. He is never afraid
to speak his sentiments at all times and up
on all occasions.

Gov. BANKS, of Massachusetts, declined
to become candidate for denomination, as
the Republican nominee for Governor of
Massachusetts. he is to leave that State,
and will settle in Chicago, in the capacity
of resident director of the Illinois Central
Railway. Gov. B. is hardly fifty years old,
yet he has filled many prominent positions,
the gift of the Democratic, American, Free
Soil, and Republican parties. The New
York Tribune says:
But, though an eminently successful politi.
clan, he is understood to be very poor. By
wise measures of retrenchment, the diminutiOn
of offices, and the cutting off of various leaks
in the Treasury, he has reduced the cost of
Government to the people of Massachusetts to
the amount of over one million dollars per an.
mum. He has done all that he knows how to
do in that direction; and great corporation,
whose managers have been witnesses of his Ia
bors and their fruits, says to him: "We want
just such an overhauling and pruning Of our
expenses as you have given to those of the
State; we want, in short, your services, and
will pay you twice the wages the State gives
you" And the Governor, having four strong
arguments in favor of the new service proposed
namely, q wife and three children-is thought
inclined to accept the offer. p,
Young men who covet political posts and
hoEors may perhaps find something to think of
in these facts-at least in the honorable pow
erty which they reveal. If such is the net re.
suit of twenty five years successful devotion to
politics, what must be the fate of the unsuc
cessfulf OF course, there are ways of getting
rich by ONCE, as there are by picking pockets
or breaking into bank-vaults-but we leave
these out OF the account. If an honest man is
constrained to decline the Governorship of
great and rich State like Massachusetts, because
he must coin bread for his family, would it not
be wise to earn competence before going in
to public political life at all?

Squabbles i'm Acknowledgement VA

The jenkins of the New York Times.
who is writing up the visit of the Prince of
Wales in Canada, mentions the following
squabbles at Montreal:
Great feeling was manifested among the
French and Irish residents, as to the priority
of position of the Roman and the Anglican
Bishops. The Mayor, who is a French
Canadian, and is connected with the Roman
Archbishop, desired to have him take pre-
cedence, and so decided at first, and ONLY
reversed his decision when he found that the
storm of indignation from the English would
be too strong for him to withstand.
The Prince was surprised that the Mayor
should read the municipal address first in
French and afterwards in English, but con.
fined bis remarks to an expression of as.
constituent.
One of the Provincial Secretaries, Mr..
Alleyn, failed to illuminate on Saturday
night. The indignant populace broke every
window in bis house.
There is little doubt but that there will
be civil row before the PRICE leaves the
Caradas.
Up at Toronto they are agitating the
question "Is Canada British Province?"
An indignant Britisher writes the Globe:
Sir: One hundred and one years ago
Wolfe landed at Quebec and took that city!
One hundred years ago Montreal and the
remaining portions of Canada were ceded
to the British Crown! Is Canada British
colony? If so, why was the heir to the
British throne addressed in a foreign lam
guage upon his arrival in British COLONY?
1t could not have been that the Mavor of
Quebec could not speak the English LAM
guage; as Immediately after reading the
address in French be repeated it in English.
"Coming events cast their shadows before
them" First, the French Consul; then Ad
miral DE b. Il forget his name); then the
speeches, &C., in the Montreal Council; and
last, though not least, the address in French!
Pray answer my ques ton; Is Canada a
British colony?

The GREYTowN AFFA1R.-In the House
of Commons on the 9th, Sir G. Bowyer,
asked what steps had been taken, by gov
eminent to induce the government of the
United States to compensate Mr.. Geddes,
Her Majesty's Consul, for the loss of pro-
perty at GreytowD; when Lord John Rus
sell said in reply it was the opinion of the
government, formed on legal advice, that,
in the case of regular hostilities by foreign
power, no compensation could be demanded
for any loss of property which might be
occasioned thereby. 1t was impossible,
therefore, to make any official application to
the government of the United States in IA
vor of Mr.. Geddes.

ST. ANTHONY AND MINNEAPOLIS.
FROM OUR OWN RRPoRrER.

E=s
SERIOUS CAsUAL1rY.--Mr. John Ninsin-
ger OF st. Anthony, met with sad acct
dent this morning. While engaged in
loading wagon with lumber at Orth's
mill, high pile of boards toppled over and
falling on him, inflicted serious injuries.
His leg is broken in two places, his back
seriously if not vitality injured, AID his face
and head badly bruised. The fiual result
of these complicated injuries is a matter of
serious doubt.
CoSvIcrED.-The trial of Dumphy and
Trip, charged with the murder of an Irish.
man at Pleasant Greek, came off at Anoka
this week. We are informed that the first
named, Dumphy, has been found guilty of
murder in the first degree. The trial of his
colleague in crime is progressing. The
rendition OF the above verdict is satisfac.
torlly received by the citizens of these
places, who are intimately acquainted with
facts connected with the brutal murder FIR
which the above named persons have been
arraigned.
BAPTIST ANNIvERsARY.-The anniyersa.
ries of the Minnesota Baptist Association,
and Sabbath School Convention, will be
held in the Congregational Church, st. An
thony, on Wednesday and Thursday, Sep
TENDER 5th and 9th. The Baptist State
Convention will take place in Minneapolis
on Friday and Saturday following. At
this anniversary it is expected that one hum
dred churches will be represented, and that
seventy ministers will be present. 1t is ex-
ceedingly gratifying to observe the rapid
growth of this branch of the christian
church. Ten years ago the number of mem.
bers was only four, without a single house
OF worship; now seventy active ministers
are in the field, ministering to one hundred
congregations. Such facts evince the inter-
est taken by the people, and proclaim VOL
umes in behalf Of the general morality and
elevated christian fellowship that character.
ICES the people of Minnesota. MAY it still
increase in strength, until all shall be ben
Gifted thereby.

the rest, incompetency as witnesses in courts
of justice in suits between the whites. At
an anti-slavery meeting in Concord, Massa-
cbusetts, on the 18th Of July, young man
of color, named Douglas, mot Frederick
stated that Mr.. Lincoln had refused to sign
petition to the Legislature for the removal
of this disability, which had been rendered
him by himself, the speaker. The Boston
Courier, some weeks since, called upon the
Republican journals to contradict this "ne-
gro testimony" if not true, but as yet we
have seen no allusion to it.

GOOD HUMoR." I've saw in the streets
yesterday team of two mules, with what
appeared at first sight to be wagon body
on wheels, but on closer examination, it
was not only that, but handsome boat,
we'll rugged for the transportation of the
running gear of the wagon, and provisions
of party of southern gentlemen, who are
going on a buffalo hunt beyond the Red
River of the North. 1t will prove to be
a great convenience in crossing streams,
and in hunting wild fowl 10 the lakes. The
boat was handsomely ornamented, and its
name painted on the side in large letters
" Good Humor," good name, that will
doubtless be characteristic of the party to
whom it belongs.

A GAY BENEDIcr.-A gentleman was
whirling his buxom partner through the
figures of the dance, few nights ago, at a
Teutonic ball, when a friend whispered to
him that his wife was at the door inquiring
for him-his knees trembled and a cold
sweat oozed from his countenance, and under
the plea of being suddenly taken ill, he
handed the lady to seat, and escaped
through the back door, and ran home.
When his wife returned, she found her tru-
ant lord seated at the table, in dressing
gown and slippers. demurely perusing the
pages of the prayer>book ! His wife (inno-
cent little KITTEN was satisfied that she had
been misinformed of his whereabouts!
