PERSONAL.

We had the pleasure of meeting few
days since, Doctor BUTLER, of jackson,
Tenn, an extensive planter, and gentle
man familiar with the public sentiment of
western Tennessee, and northern Alabama
and Mississippi, by long residence, and ex-
tensive business connections. The Doctor
has spent the summer months for several
years, in Minnesota, and has opened up a
splendid farm within a few miles of Belle
Plaine, where he intends to take up his
summer residence hereafter, with his family.
DR.. BUTLER is enthusiastic for DOUGLAS:
and be assures US that the DOUGLAS men of
Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee are
making as gallant a fight against Southern
Sectionalism as their brethren in the North
are against Northern Sectionalism. He
states DOUGLAS will poll very large vote
in Kentucky and Tennessee, but that BELL
will probably carry those States unless the
boiling candidates are withdrawn. Ala
bama he considers sure for DOUGLAS. DR..
B., we may add, is brother of Gen. WIN.
o. BUTLER, who was the Democratic candi.
date for Vice President in l848.

Il" Our Hospitality"

The Black Republican newspapers talk
a great deal of "our hospitality extended
to Southern visitors. The Minnesotian
daily, for week past, has grown eloquent
on the subject. WEBSTER defines hospitality
to mean the practice of receiving and en-
Pertaining strangers and guests, without re-
ward, or with kind and generous liberality. )"
Our Southern visitors, by their liberality,
have replen ished the exhausted exchequers
of sundry hotels, and been good customers
to our merchants and shop-keepers, but we
have not heard Of their asking or receiving
hospitality" They pay for what they get,
and right glad are our people to have them
for customers. One thing they do receive
gratis, and that is probably what the Mn
nesotian means by hospitality" We re-
fer to the abuse of themselves, their section
and their Institutions by the Republican
press.

Dakota County.

In another column, we publish the call
for a Democratic County Convention, in
Dakota county, to assemble on Saturday,
the 18th of August, at Hastings, TO elect
delegates to the State Convention. The
Democracy of Dakota are thoroughly alive
to the importance of the present canvass !;
and are perfecting their organization in
order to be in good fighting trim when the
warm work commences. At Hastings, a
DOUGLAS club has been organized, and is
doing good service. The Democrat, at the
same place, under the management of DR..
G. P. ADAMS, is an able exponent of Dem
ocratic principles, and an earnest supporter
of DOUGLAS election. In November, the
Democracy of Dakota will struggle hard to
achieve their old position, as the banner
Democratic county of the State. Success
to them.

Abusing Seward over our Shoulder

We notice that various Black Republi
can papers in the state,-the Neacs, at St.
Anthony, Republican, Winona, Times, St.
Paul, and others,-are engaged in attempts
to make political capital, out of what they
charge to be an attempt on the part of this
journal, to establish slavery in Minnesota"
by the passage of sojourners' law. We
don't like to call hard names, but the phrase
lying scoundrels suits these fellows to q
nicely. We have allowed the high-priest
OF Black Republicanism, WV. H. SEWARD,
to advocate such law in our paper but
have not yet taken occasion to express our
own views on the subject. We may say
now, however. that we think Stewards ar
gument in favor Of sojourners' law is ire
sistible, and we believe that its enactment
would prove benefit alike to the people of
Minnesota, the citizens of the South and
their slaves. Why don't the papers above
referred to, have the courage to produce
Stewards manly and generous letter? Are
they afraid of its effect? Or is lying and

nave no interest whatever in him, and my only

EDWARD w. JACK.
We ask that the facts above set forth,
shall receive the attention of our citizens,
and then we call upon them to recall to mind
the recent action of the Republican politi-
clans in this city, from the Governor down
to the bar-room spouters. Above all others,
however, Gov. RAMSEY deserves the most
severe censure. We are informed be was
made aware of every fact stated above, prior
to the publication of his infamous proclaim
alton. He even resisted issuing it, until he
was called upon by two or three populations
of red-hot Abolitionists, and the proclama-
ton insisted npon as necessary stroke of
policy. Then the Governors courage gave
way, and be promulgated the document.
What will the Abolition Republicans
next do for political capital? While SPARKS
career was brief, it was brilliant. He fur
nished an inexhaustible supply of the raw
material, to be worked up into editorials,
sermons, or proclamations, to suit the state
of the market. Gov. RAMSEY and his edi-
tors used HENRY on week days, and on Sun
day they turned him over to Priest FISK,
who served him up a la BEEcHER, for the
entertainment of the public. The truth of
the story never troubled Governor, Editor
or Preacher. They were after a sensation
editorial, proclamation, and sermon; and
HENRY SPARKS gave them text. Suppose
they now take up, JOHN FREELAND, in Jail
for perjury. He will furnish the trio-yes,
even the Reverend stump-orator-witha text
on the folly of lying, no matter whether it
is committed on the witness-stand, in poll
tical sermons, in Executive proclamations,
or in newspaper editorials.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-08-10

WE ARE PERFECTLY SATISFIED to permit
the negro discussion rest with the statements
of Col. JACK and Mayor PRINCE. The
former gentleman informs US he is willing
to make an affidavit to the truth of every
statement in his letter, but we do not deem
it necessary that be should do so. We ask,
however, all Republicans, DESTROYS of arriv-
ing at the truth, to personally call upon
Col. j., and interrogate him upon the SUBJ
ject. If they do so, they will come away
satisfied of the truth of his statement, if
they had any doubts before.
1t is to the interest of RAMsEY-the
weak.backed Executive who quailed before
an Abolition Committee-to insist that the
negro was kidnapped. If be does not make
out a case of kidnapping, that proclama-
tion-his trump card for the country Re-
publicans-will prove a bad investment.
"Bluff Aleck" is therefore excusable. We
hear that SPARKS, the negro, will be in st.
Paul again this season. If he comes, of
course, the Governor will dine with him
daily, and sleep with him nightly, during his
stay. He is very anxious about HENRY,
is ALEXANDER.

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM DODGE

Coggswen ON the stump for Doug,as.

the Democracy of that county had plori.

OF their Convention to select delegates to
the State Convention. Hon. j. M. Cav.
ANAuaH was present, and made an able
speech. Hon. AMOS CoGGswELL," saws

hours, be continued to pour the hot shot
into the discounted camp of the poor
blacks. 1t was the severest drubbing you
ever heard any set of men gettiDg--fairly
annihilating them" This is all our friend
says of CoGGswELL, but he adds postscript,
which is as sweet as that usual addenda to

The Laws Of the Last Session.

Editors ofthe Pioneer and Democrat:
Is there any prospect that the laws of the
last session of the Legislature will ever be
printed by the official printers, or by anybody
else? 1t was supposed, I believe, that mas.
much as the public printing was taken from the
regularly appointed printer through partizan in.
trigue, the fear of popular indignation would
atleast compel a prompt execution of the work.
The journal of the House and Senate too, why
are they not printed? Are the Republicans
afraid to have their record made public before
another election?
A MEMBER OF THE LAST LEGISLATURES.
We cannot give any information on the
subject. We do not know where the laws
are being printed or the journals either !;
who is printing them, or when they will be
completed. For the convenience of the
people we have printed, and have for sale,
an edition, in pamphlet form, of many of the
most important laws.
