John Pryor Respited.

Hon. HENRY NJ. R1oE, sent request to
the President by telegraph, that the exc
cution Of JOHN PRYOR, the soldier under
sentence of death at Fort Smelling, should
be delayed until suitable representations
could be made in favor of a communication
of the sentence. President JOHNSON inn
mediately granted the request of Mr.. R1oE
and sent him the following telegram:
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct II, 1865.
To Henry N. Rice:
The following telegram was sent yesterday
to Maj. Gen. JOHN PORE, at st. Louis, Mis-.
souri,:
"The execution of the sentence in the case
private John Pryor, company I, Sixth Indiana
Cavalry, is hereby suspended until Friday, the
9th of October, at IL o'clock, at which time
the sentence will be duly carried into execu-
ton" ANDREW JOHNSON.

The Is Press - Rebuked.


The indecent assaults Of the St Paul
Press upon HENRY M. RrcE have drawn
upon that journal most singing rebuke,
which we print elsewhere, from the Mime
apolis Atlas, the Republican organ of
Hennepin county. In heated political
contest it could hardly have been expected,
and is therefore all the more gratifying,
that well known radical Republican
journal should have had the manliness to
enter an indignant protest against the
wholesale abuse heaped upon Mr.. RICE.
The atlas has the sense to perceive what
the Press will never learn, that gross per-
sonal defamation Of that gentleman, whose
merits {" are known and appreciated by
thousands of Republicans in the State, - is
not the style of argument that will help
the cause of Gen. MARSHALL.
While we do not concur with all the
sentiments expressed by the atlas, we
commend its spirit, and ask for it care
full and candid perusal of men by all par
parties,

FOrney on Connecticut.

Connecticut and Colorado vote ssno" on
the question of negro suffrage. Colonel
FoRNEY, evidently alarmed, writes to the
Philadelphia Press from Washington as
follows:
The Convention which nominated Abraham
Lincoln and Andrew johnson, refused to make
national test of the question, and nothing
but disaster has ever befailen our friends when
ever they have departed from it in the States.
Let us adhere to what is nominated in The ma.
tioDal bond. To go beyond it is to court dis
aster tor no practical, nay for no theoretical
good. Above all, let us avoid attempting to
force upon the Southern States what We are
now once more taught We cannot. even with
our better informed cOlOred people 90 our
selves at our own homes.
The Washington Chronicle, another of
FORNEY's organs, says:
The Union party cam ): he national party
II 1t makes negro suffrage test. Belonging
as that subject does 10 the States, it must be
left to the States. To attempt to force it upon
the South is simply to embitter the South and
endanger the Union party at the North. For
it must not be forgotten that until the rebellion
broke upon us, In not single Free State not
even in Massachusetts,, were the few colored
men allowed the unqualified right to VOTE

President Johnson,s Policy.

The following words, uttered by JoHs
VAN BUREN,, at Albany, are an assurance
to the Democracy that their confidence in
President JosssoH has not been mis-
placed :sss I had an interview
with the President" said Mr..
VAN BUREN,, g some four weeks
since, and without undertaking to
tell you particularly what he said, l will
merely state that had no conversation
with him in regard to Office, or in regard
TO the treatment of Southern individuals
who had been in rebellion, but full con-
versation upon the condition of the coun.
try, and his policy Of restoring the Union.

Satisfactory exposition Of his principles, or

termination to serve the country faithfully

Letter from Gen. Lee.

GEORGE "the Count JoANNEs," who is
a second edition of COLORADO JEwErr,
wrote letter to Gen. LEE, in which he
protfered his legal services in case LEE
was brought to trial for treason, &c. Gen.
LEE replied as follows:
NEAR CAkTERayILLE, Va, Sept 4. 1865.

municaiion of the 14th ult., transmitting a
copy II your published letter to the President
OF the United States. Your arguments and

OF your legal services-to defeud me against

come necessary, they will be gremfuly &C.

people of the South but simple Justice, in be-
ieving that they heartily concur with you in

Hon. DANIEL F. WEYMOUTH, of Jefferson
county, Wis, the leader of the "Union -
party in that section, has given his adhe-
sion to the Democratic party upon the
issues now before the country. In letter
he gives the following, among other rea-
SONS, for bis utter opposition to negro
suffrage: .
And first l say that even if the freedmen
were white, they are too ignorant to be en-.
trusted with the franchise If they are to vote
hereafter, it should be after being to some ex-
tent educated. And secondly, however con-
trary to radical theories it may be, do not be-
heve IN the capacity OF the negro race, or any
colored or mixed racess for self government;
or even for becoming power among the ma
lions OF the earth. There is not sufficient
force Of character-they are not "long
headed enOugb-there is not enough per-
sistence and determination in them-they lack
back bone. and breadth-and as horsemen say
"bottom."
The people of Spain, France and Portugal
have been great colonists. France held the
Mississippi and st. Lawrence valleys. and
Spain held most of the Indies, and all Mexico,
Central and South America, except Brazil and
Guina, and Portugal held Brazil, and immense
colonies In Africa and the East Indies. The
Spaniards, French and Portuguese gave social
equality to the inferior races-they intermar-
ried, and miscegenated," and acknowledged
their bronzed offspring. Where are the Re.
publics, or even the nations that are powers,
that they have to show? Look at all America
south OF the United States, and at Lower Cam
ada and the African and Indian possessions of
POrtugal-and compare them with the co]oy
MES OF the H0llanders, Sweeds and Britons,
who always despised the colored.

DoNr LIKE 1.-THE black soldiers and
their white worshippers were not well
pleased with the speech of the President
TO colored regiment. A correspondent
OF the Chicago Tribune says:
Durlng the delivery Of the speech there was

snanased from whites who were present. One

The President and the Radicals.

NE President and the Radicals.
We learn from Chicago paper that the
President has directed the removal of Mr..
RUSSELL, the Postmaster at Davenport,
Iowa, and the appointment of Gen. SAUN-
DERs in his stead
Mr.. RUSSELL is the editor of the radical
organ at Davenport "a paper of the same
stamp as the Press of this city,, which
has been jealous in support OF negro suf-
frage and the radical programme for fore
ing negro suffrage on the Southern States,
as a condition of their representation in
Congress. Like Gen. MARSHALL, Mr..
RUSSELL is Jealous advocate for the cleo
ton of STONE, the radical candidate for
Governor of Iowa, who advocates the
same doctrine in regard to the South and
the negro question as Gen. MARSHALL of
this State.
In Iowa, as in Minnesota, large num-
Der of conservative Republicans are break.
ing loose from the radical traces, and are
uniting with the Democrats in support of
Gen. BENTON, the anti-negro suffrage can
didate for Governor, whose views are in
exact accordance with those of II. M.
RIoE, who will receive the votes of all our
citizens who sincerely support the policy
of President JOHNSON towards the South
ern States.
Gen. SAUNDERS, formerly a prominent
Republican of Iowa, is warm supporter
of Gen. BENTON, and of the Presidents
reconstruction policy. RUSSELL, man of
unexceptionable character, a leading poll
tician and influential editor, was removed
wholly on political grounds; and Gen.
SAUNDERS was appointed because he was
opposed to negro suffrage and supported
BENTON.
This direct and open support, in the heat
of the canvass, given by the President to
the BENTON party, shows how the contest
in Iowa is regarded at the White House.
A contest of like character is going on
in this State; the issues are the same here
as in Iowa STONE in Iowa and MARSHALL
in Minnesota are supported by the radi-
calls; BENTON in Iowa and RICE in Mime
sofa are supported by the Democrats and
conservative Republicans, which support
ers include nearly all the returned soldiers.
The election of BENTON or RICE will be
alike an administration triumph over the
radicals, and will be so regarded al over
the country, from the Rio Grande to the
AroOetook.

Gov. Morton,s Position.

Gov. MOTION, of Indiana, who, all
though elected by the Black Republican
party has seen the error of his ways, and
come out like man on the side of the
whites in the present political contest,
deems it necessary to explain his reasons
for abandoning his party doctrines, and
does SO most ingeniously. He joins the
Democratic party in this issue because he
desires to be consistent, and he insists that
to argue in favor of manhood suffrage is to
make "the strongest pro-slavery areu-
ment "he ever heard. sit is to nav the
highest compliment to the institution of
slavery" what" he continues, "bas
been our practice for many years ?
We have invariably described slavery
as degrading both to the body and the
soul. We have described it as bringing
human beings down to the level of the
beasts of the field. We have described it
as crime, depriving the slaves of intel
lectual and moral culture, and of all the
gifts God has made the most precious.
II We shall now turn round and say that
this institution has been blessing to the
negro instead of curse, that it has quail
ned him for the right of suffrage and the
exercise OF political power, ,ce shall stul-
tyy ourselves and sire The lie to those
declarations upon ,chich ue haze obtained
political porer."
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1865-10-20

We call attention to a communication
elsewhere, in regard to some of the con-
siderations which may possibly have in
duced the President to suspend the execu-
ton of the condemned Indians. We are
not aware that any movements were made
by citizens of this State to obtain the sus-
pension. 1t is not improbable that it was
obtained by rich old gentleman from
Cleveland, as the writer of the commune
cation intimates, who said be was willing
to give his right arm to save Medicine
Bottle, and who, as is stated, approached
Col. MoLAREN with the offer of bride to
allow their escape. This mysterious old
gentleman started away several days soon
er than he anticipated, when he found he
could not accomplish his purpose here.
Without endorsing the views of the writer
of the communication, we are not unwil-
ling to vary the monotony of abuse which
has been poured upon these Indians, by
ventilating whatever may be said in their
favor, which is not much, although the
Devil is not always as black as he is
painted.

Legislative Nominations.

The Democracy of the 18th District
met in Convention at Cleveland, LIE Sueur
county, on the 9TH inst, and nominated
the following legislative ticket:
State Senator-Reuben Buffers, of Kasota.
Representatives. K. Maynard, of Elysian;
Daniel Buck, of Mankato ; and Maj. James NJ.
Thompson, of Garden City.
This is is strong ticket, and bound to
win. Mr.. BUFFERS has served in the Leg
islature several terms, during which he
manifested the best qualifications of a leg
islator. Judge MAYNARD is a gentleman
of ripe experience, possesses much legis-
lative knowledge, and is q good debater.
DANIEL Buck is one of the best attorneys
in the Valley, and no higher compliment
need be paid to his private and public
worth than the fact that he ran for Dis
trict Judge last fall in district with eight
hundred Republican majority against him,
and came within seventy-seven votes of
being elected. Mr.. THOMPSON was Cap
tain in the Ninth Regiment, and subse.
quently promoted to Major of a colored
regiment. He is one of the most intelli-
gent men in his county, and held in high
esteem by all his neighbors and acquain-
tances. His nomination is received with
such degree of enthusiasm by bis fellow
soldiers and friends that his election is
conceded in advance
The Republicans of the 10Th District
have nominated @. 7. Brown, Of St. Pc
ter, for the Senate, and THOMAS RUssxrJ.
of Henderson, and Mr.. ARNER. of Red,

Room for All.

The following item from the La Crosse
Democrat of Tuesday shows how our
State is filing up:
Sixty emigrant teams day, on the average
cross the river at this point for Southern Min.
nesota. At this rate our sister State viii be
full in few years.
As the area of the State is over so, 900
square miles, there will be room for the
natural increase of those now here, and
for all immigrants for many years. Ten
millions ofpeople can get living by agri-
culture alone, to say nothing of those re-
quired for other occupations.

significance oG the Defeat OF Negro
Suffrage ia Connecticut

The Journal Of Commerce. says that
the defeat of the negro suffrage scheme in
Connecticut will secure to the President
and his policy the support Of several men,
bers of Congress whealight otherwise have
been regarded as doubtful. This conad-
Grafton should not be lost sight of in the
coming election in Minnesota. If the
people of this State vote for negro suf-
frage, Messrs. DoNNELLE and WINDOW will
regard it as condemnation of the policy
of ANDREW JOHNSON, and will shape their
action in Congress in accordance with the
sentiments of their constituents. On the
other hand, if the scheme is defeated, as
we hope it will be, by ali overwhelming
vote, our Congressman will accommodate
their own views to the declared will of the
people. In regard to the action of Con-
necticut, the Journal says:
The result is very plain assertion Of the
people of Connecticut that theirs at least is a
State in which the government is a govern
ment OF white men. 1t will not do to rail at
this decision. The people of that State are no
tOriousiy the most intelligent people in all the
United States. There is no State in advance
of Connecticut either in education, intellect.
wealth OK civilization. 1t is true the religion
of the State has been falling off of late but this
has not been against the negro equality ideas.
On the contrary, the tendency of many church.
es has been to make ebony idols and worship
them. He who has refused to bow down to
the new image has been regarded as irreligious.
In no State in the Union could more fair
trial be had of the willingness of the people to
extend equal political rights to the negro.
The Republican party in the last Legislature
determined to try the issue. They passed the
provision by strict party vote. For several
years they had maintained a popular majority
in the State, and no doubt was entertained
among their leading politicians that they would
carry this provision, and give to the President
very distinct notice of the intentions and ex-
pectations of the party which elected him. The
result has been astounding to those who favor.
ed the progressive doctrines. In the heart of
New England, in State where the most vic.
lent radicalism has been rampant and triumph
ant on former occasions, the people emphati-
cally declare that negroes shall not be admitted
to equal political power with white men.
