DEAR REGISTER: Il thought, ct the be
ginning Of this campaign, to have nothing
to do with either side, but person were
moro than mortal to stand by with closed
lips and silent voice and see the fraud aud
corruption by which the official clique are
disgraceing themselves, and not use pen
and tongue to disclose to the pure light
such actions and quibling as would call a
blush of shame to the cheek of the hard
est Of them-if they have ever harbored
such feeling within their breasts. A
word here would not be amiss in regard to
the officials mouth piece. He commenc~
ed bis editorial career on the back Of
Prostitution, and in the last issue of said
sheet he is still riding the same hobby,
and if he is not re'y little careful in
avoiding the shoals and quick that
surround him he will be brought to q
stand still in his wild career by landing
where-from the conversation and the
pet terms he uses one would be lead to
suppose-he properly belonged, or in
other words, pimping for an institution
which his conversation so faithfully de.
lineates. We always judge mans com.
pany BY his conversation. The above
indiridual, by his many refund editorials,
unanimously received the cognomen of
The King of Prostitution


Dear Register, If you could only have
seen the hiving Of the bees when the re.
suit Of the convention of the oath" was
received. Such q cacusing at the off,
cials rendezvous and such long faces
and forsaken looks there expressed, you
would have perceived at once.-that they
had received the death blow to all their
fond hopes and bright an,icipations-but
after few hours Of mature deliberation
they diifused themselves through the com.
munity, and with affected cheerfulness
gave vent to their pent up feelings in such
expressions as "just what we want
Do US more good than anything else
could have done," &c. And now the in
cessant cry with the officials and these
Under o6fcial patronage, is, chow much
Jayne has done and how we'll he has done
it, Now, the question l would ask is,
aohat has he done? Has he done any
thing more than his duty has he evea
done his duty in the various departments
under his official care? What has be
done to advance the interest Of the Ter
ritory? What has he or any other official
done. to help build up our new and flour.
ishing Territory The people say, Moth
ing echo answer, Nothipgl! Nothing.
But to the contrary. Who first conceived
the idea Of Wrestling our beautiful Terri
tory from the hand Of the savage who
was it that, through the merciless storms
Of mott western winter, traversed the
bleak prairie and gathered together the
principal chiefs Of the Yankton Indians
and took them to Washington to make the
tresty for their land On the Missouri
slope? who was it, after that treaty was
made, spent his time, energies and money
to secure, by the U. S. Senate, the ratifca'
ton Of that treaty? and after the treaty
was ratified and the country open for
settlement without law or gospel in it,
who was it that secured the organization
OF the Terrtory-securing to the hardy
pioneers the wholesome restraint OF law
and order? II was the peoples Friend,
J. B. s. Todd, and the people will endorse
his actions and administer Wholesome and
just rebuke to the official clique at the
coming election. DAKOTA.
