LOvejOy's Speech.

This text book for the Republicans of
Minnesota, is now being published in the
Republican paper in this city. 1t is a bru-
tai, blood-thirsty harangue, and equals, if it
does not exceed, in ferocity, the speeches of
GARRISON, FRED DOUGLAS, and PHILLIPS.
We hope the speech may have a general
circulation, in the northern States. 1t ex-
poses the aims of the leading and most Wig
orous of the Republican politicians. The
Minnesotian regards its delivery as "a vindi-
cation of the rights OF the north tofree speech,
on the slavery question, upon the floor of
Congress-" Whether the statement that
the doctrines of the Democratic party are
taught nowhere outside the FIVE points of
hell" and that southern men, as class, con-
tinually practice adultery, murder, theft and
piracy, is vindication of free speech, or a
cowardly abuse of free speech, is point up
on which there will doubtless be but one
opinion among all sensible men, Republi-
cans or Democrats.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.


The TT,bune's Washington correspondent
telegraphs that it is stated that ex.Gov.
WALKER has sent a challenge to Judge
BLACK, and that the Judge declines its &C.
ceptance. The affair originated with the
expressions made use of by Judge BLACK
relative to the letter OF the President, he de
claring that if such letter was in exist
ence, it was a forgery. A dispatch also
says that the me mbers of the cabinet are
perfectly willing that Gov. WALKER shall
designate those to whom he referred as, in
his opinion, shaping the affairs of Kansas in
1857, and who got up the Lecompton pro-
gramme. The Constitution of the 2lst inst :,
in an article which excites some comment
from it semi>oficial character, and as in
volving the unity of the cabinet, says:
IF any member of the Cabinet has sought
of the President, in an important matter of
state policy, without the advice, knowledge or
consent of the President, he has been guilty of
an act of infidelity and bad faith, which should
invoke his servest censure. Indeed such con.
duct would be dishonorable and justly incur q
forfeiture of his confidence. In this view we
think we have the right to demand of Mr..
Walker the naming of the individual implicated.
In the absence of a reply we shall maintain that
he is wholly mistaken, and is wholly unable to
substantiate the grounds of his belief"

We presume very little will be done in
Congress until after the Conventions have
got through their work. The Democratic
Convention will occupy this week. The
Convention called by CR1rrENDEN, BELL
and others, composing the Constitutional
Union party will meet at Baltimore on the
9th of May. The Republicans commence
the sessions of the nominating Convention
on the 10th of May, at Chicago. As all
members of Congress. are politicians, the
interests of the country, so FIR as they are
affected by Congressional action, will be
overlooked in the anxiety of members to
manage the Conventions. Both the House
and Senate have refused to adjourn, but it
is doubtful whether there will be quorum
present for more than lew days at time,
during the next three weeks.

The Board of Commissioners recently
elected in Mower county are ORMANzo
ALLEN, Of Austin, CHARLES F. HARDY, of
Brownsville, and S. P. BACON, of LIE Roy.
The fact that in transcribing our ex-
change list, the name of the Henderson
Democrat was omitted from it for a few
days, has given the sapient editor of that
sheet cause for whining article of a column
in length. He consoles himself with the
brilliant thought that our sensitive nerves
were shocked into cutting his paper off our
exchange list, by the force of his argument
and the bitterness Of his denunciation!
One word about exchanges. During
the past six years, we have freely exchanged
our daily with every weekly newspaper in
the State, never asking, as usual in the
east, the difference between the subscription
price of their weeklies and our daily, and
rarely receiving in exchange such small
courtesies as the publication of a prospectus.
We have done this willingly, because no
one appreciates more forcibly than ourself
the troubles, trials and tribulations of the
country press, and the fact that seldom in
new country, does the editor realize for his
mental and physical labor the scanty sum
dOled out to second rate mechanics in the
larger towns.
FLAX SEED.-The best judges of the kind
OF soil best adapted to raising Flax, state
that this crop can be produced in Mime
sofa as proftably as in any other part of
the United States. And why not Flax
is great exhauster of the soil, but with so
rich and deep soil as there is in Southern
and Southwestern Minnesota, why cannot
this crop be raised with large profits? The
seed alone is worth 81 per bushel, and
Messrs. Lothrop & Paul, in this place, are
willing to contract for this seasons crop at
that price.
From carefully prepared article on this
subject, in an eastern paper, we learn that if
the crop is grown for the fibre alone, three
bushels should be sown to the acre but if
grown for the seed, 1t should be sown much
thinner, as it will then grow low and throw
out side branches, yielding much larger
quantity of seed. The ground should be
thoroughly pulverized, the seed narrowed
and cross narrowed in and then rolled. A
frequent change of seed is necessary to main
tain high standard for the crop.
A newly discovered method of manufac-
turing the fax fibre into cloth, as a substi-
tute for cotton, is now engaging the atten-
ton of Eastern people; and it may be for
this latter purpose alone, that the cultivation
of flax in this State will, ere long, prove of
immense benefit to our people.-St. Peter
Statesman.
For Pixies PEAK.-The Pixies Peak

most valued citizens. We regret to part

The MILITIA OF THE SrArEs.-Colonel
ROBERTS, of the United States army, has
proposed plan of reorganization of the
militia of the several States. He proposes
a short term of service for volunteers, who
are to be armed, and equipped, and disci-
plined by Congress, and to be paid for a
few days service each year, when under in
struction, discipline, and drill. He fixes
this volunteer force at 100000, and pro-
poses to divide them in all the States in
proportion to their population, believing
this division will give to each State suffi-
Gent force to preserve domestic tranquility,
to prevent insurrection, and to enforce the
laws. When war is declared, the militia to
be subject to the call of the President, to
repel invasion, and even to carry on offen-
sive and foreign war. The plan is before
Congress for its consideration.

Alliance between Austria and Russia.
1t is said that Austria and Russia, which
have been estranged in policy for some years,
have come again to friendly understand
ing, and will unite on policy opposed to
that of England and France, as follows:
l. Austria agrees to revision of the treaty
of March 81, 1859, in the sense desired by
Russia. 2. In the event of Congress
meeting, she will support the proposals that
may be introduced by Russia on this sub-
ject. 3. She engages to act in concert with
Russia on all questions pertaining to east
ern affairs. 4. She offers to accept the me-
diation of Russia in settling the differences
existing between herself and Prussia relative
to the affairs Of Germany. S. If Austria is
attacked in Italy, Russia promises to fur
nish an auxiliary force, the strength of
which will be determined by a separate con-
vention. 6. In case of disturbances in HIM
gary or Gallicia, Russia engages to station
an army of occupation in those provinces.
Z. The two governments will invite Prussia
and the &C. 1au Confederation to accede to
the above e. pa.asiOns.

From Dakota.

We have received the Dakota Democrat,
of March 81, and it looks as tasteful and
neat as if there were no Indians within a
thousand miles of Sioux Falls City, to dis
turb the equanimity of the editor, by running
off his fast trotter.
Indians are troublesome this spring over
in Dakota. SAMvEL, the editor, in com
menting upon the formation of society in
Boston to "ameliOrate the condition of the
Indians" unburthens himself as follows:
ave recommend that the Boston sympa.
thizers get up an "Indian immigration So
ciety,' and provide funds for the removal of
a few thousand of the red.skinned devils to
their own locality. We of course should
dislike very much to part with them out here;
but rather than see the philanthropy of our
Down>East brethren 60 begging, the FROM
tiers would doubtless forego the pleasure of
their society without murmur.
"'Lo! the poor Indian, whose untutored mind
Sees God in clouds steals all he can find;
A heather, outcast worse than beast,
OF all that's wild the meanest, of all that's
human, least"
But this is not all. The stable of Messrs.
ALBRIGHT and AMIDoN, at Sioux Falls, was
entered on the 29th of March, by the afore>
said "red>skinned devils" and a bay, q
sorrel, and a black horse stolen. Fifty
dollars reward is offered for the recovery of
the horses, "or the scalps Of the scoundrels
who stole them." Which would you prefer,
SAMUEL, the scalps or the horse flesh?
