NIILIW II TEX, OVl. q, IoJI.
Col. Goodhue On my return from St.
Louis, find that during my absence some
gentlemen placed my name in nomination
for the office Of Treasurer of Washington
county, upon ticket which they call a
"Regularly nominated democratic ticket"
This was done in my absence from the
Territory, and ofcourse without my knowl-
edge or consent.
| wish to say through your paper, to the
electors of Washington county, that / am
not candidate upon that ticket, although
l am now, as heretofore, a democrat in
principle.

cd, and no one doubts but that in every
respect, he is better qualified for the Of
flee than his competitor. The RESPONSE
bilities attached to that important office,
demand an incumbent Of experience, stand
ing, and well tried character, TO discharge
its onerous duties.
We have but limited acquaintance
with Messrs. Phillips and Reed, the can
didates for District Attorney and Coroner,
but their nomination by the County Con-
vention, is sufficient endorsement Of their
qualifications for the respective duties of
their respective offices.
For Judge of Probate, Ira Kingsley has
been nominated, a man in whose perfect
integrity of purpose, and ability to dis
charge the duties of the office, every one
acquainted with him have the fullest con-
iidencc. lie will he elected beyond doubt.
OF the commissioner and assessors, it
is sufficient to say, that not even their po-
li,ical opponents SO far as we can learn,
have aught 10 allege against them.
In conclusion, let every man next Tues
day who would still see The people, instead
of faction rule, who would see the bit
terness of party feeling diminished, who
would see good men, irrespective of par
iy, fill their important offices, be at the
polls on Tuesday next. Go early! Vote

Our Ticket.

The greatest security to the industrial
pursuits Of country under a representa-
tive government is the identity of interest
between the constituent and the represen-
tative. Particular regard has been had
to this consideration in the selection of
candidates on the peoples ticket.
Forbes and Harrington, our candidates
for Councillors, are as deeply interested
in the prosperity of the town of St. Paul
as any other two men in it. Their all is
here-their families, their business, and
what fortune they have; nor are they idle
property holders, waiting the growth of
the town that they may be dragged up with
it-they are accelerating its growth by in
vesting their means and making judicious
improvements.
l.. Il. Babcock, our candidate for float
ing Councillor, is well known to this COM
munity-as member of the first Lcgis-
lature of the Territory from the county of
Benton, he displayed much ability as a leg
islator, and faithfully represented the in
terests Of his constituents. AS Attorney
General Of the Territory for the last two
years, he has given entire satisfaction;
and as lawyer in good practice, he has
been eminently successful and has won the
confidence of his clients.
Our candidates for representatives are
also men of high moral worth, of public
spirit and enterprise.
j. E. Fullerton is merchant of good
standing, of acknowledged integrity, and
much esteemed by all who know him.
Charles s. Gaze is an industrious young
man-true to his friends, and always OH
hand when any public good is to be done.
j. W. &lbyis gentleman of sound
Judgment. of unqucstionable character, a
farmer, and useful citizen.
VIM. P. Murray is young lawyer of
great perseverance, good strong common
sense, and fair legal attainmcnts, and has
no hope in life but what is identified with
the prosperity of St. Paul and the Terri
tory Of Minnesota.
Saml. Findiey is working man, an old
inhabitant, well acquainted with the wants
of the Territory, and anxious to promote
them; and withal gentleman of fine a.
bility.
This is the peoples ticket--let those
who prefer the success of the Territory,
to that of political ciiques, support it.
By way of appendix, we will add the
following from the St. Anthony Express,
in reference to our candidates for county
officers, all of which we fully endorse:
"Anson Northrup, the peoples candi-
date for sheriff, is known as an honest, en-
ergetlc business man, frank, and OPEN
hearted to fault, quick to resent an in
suit, but always minding his own business
generous, hospitable and kind-hearted. and
deservedly popular as a citizen and neigh
Dor. Strictly honorable in his dealings. the
public have a sufficient guarantee, that if
elected he will faithfully discharge the du-
ties of his office, and prove an efficient
and popular officer.
M. S. Wilkinson, the candidate for the
Office of Register, is lawyer in St. Paul.
against whom, whether in his professional
or private character, we have never heard
word Of reproach uttered. As citizen.
he is well known and universally esteem

IL The TACT That we issued large
edition of our paper, on Tuesday morning,
previous TO the election, will account for
certain editorial matter in this number.
1t does not read so well, after the cleo
ton, but we have not had time to change it.
GLORIOUS VICTORY!----THE ORG ANIZA-
TON DEFEATED. HORSE FOOT AND
TORY"
We have withheld the printing of our
full edition this week, to announce the re-
turns Of the election. And we are hap
py TO state, that the people have made
clean sweep of it, almost, throughout the
Territory. Here in the Second Council
District, we have elected our entire Leg
islative ticket. BY the figures below, it
will be seen that some Of our candidates
have majority against them in St. Paul,
but the firm phalanx of Little Canada car
ried them all through. The reason that
Messrs. Forbes, Murray and Cave ran low
err than the rest of the ticket, they were Sc
lected as the particular targets of Robert
son and other leaders Of the g organza-
tion,' and a dead drive made against them
by all manner of corrupt representations
that could be invented. Swapping and
all species Of resort that could be invent
ed, was used against these men, because
they are Democrats, and refused to bow
the knee to Baal. But the people have
endorsed them. and their schcmers have
their reward.
In Ramsey, we elect our entire county
ticket, with the exception of Northrop
for Sheriff, who is defeated by the disaf-
lection of Lull. Brott, the organization
nominee, is elected by small majority.
We regret another thing, and that is, the
defeat of Atwater for the Council at St.
Anthony, and Gorham for the House.
which was also caused by the Lull move
ment. Mr.. Atwater's competitor only
leads him four votes. Our average ma
joriiy on the county ticket is about fifty.
Dakota elects Martin Mcleod to the
Council, and J. Nc. Doal and B. II.
Randall TO the House, without opposition
all anti-organization.
We give below, such returns as we
have from the First Council district,
which leaves no doubt that Trask and
LOOMS are elected to the Council. They
can 60 out of Washington county with
fifty majority against them, and still
be elected by the vote in the upper coun-
ties. OF the election of Mr.. Babcock,
for the Fourth district there can, of
course, be no doubt, when we look at the
figures. Old "Crescent Hip has his
pay at the hands of the people of St. Paul
and Saltwater, for his abuse of their rights.
1t will also be seen that our House can
didates, in Saltwater, Taylor and Black,
are triumphant:

Attorney.
We had intended TO say something o.
the former course of this political came
l;on-also something of his particular
claims upon the people of St. Paul, whom,
besides abusing from day to day on the
floor Of the last House of Representatives,
has, in letters written for publication
abroad, as well as in street ara lemas at
home, denounced us as "a horde of wins
ky sellers and gamblers > but or neigh
Dor, Atwatcr, has saved us the trouble in
the following article in the St. Anthony
Express of last Saturday:
John Wesley North as a Democrat.
The public acts and political opinions
Of candidates for official stations. are pub

Of comment and criticism, and should be
fully and freely discussed by the news pa
per press. We propose briefly to discuss
the claims OF the candidate for the Office
of District Attorney, to the title of DEM
ocrat,
]. W. North was reared and educated a
Wing. His native county, or the one in
which he spent his boyhool, has always
been Wing TO the core. His early asscci-
ations, predictions, and sympathies were
all Wing, and so continued up to the time
that he entered College. Thoroughly in
doctrinated into Wing principles, appro-
wing of Wing measures, and sympathzing
with Wing politicians, he babe fair to be-
come a consistent and faithful defender of
the faith in which he had been reared.
He went to college. Here, ga change
came DER the spirit of his dream Fer
his Alma Mater, he chose Wesleyan Uni
vcrsity, at Middlctown, Connecticut. Its
reputation as hot bed of ultraism, is
much higher than seat of learning. IF
it does not produce finished scholars, it at
least allows the argcstlibcrty of opn-
ions. IL the beautiful literature of Greece
and Rome is neglected, increased attcn-
ton is paid to the modern lights of Prog
ress,-thc Parkcrs, the Garrsons, the
Douglasscs of the age.
Here it was perhaps but natural, that
his views should become tinged or rather
deeply dyed in ultraisms there prevalent.
" 1rmpOra mutanfur ct nos nutamur Oh

ccndant-to abolitionism he devoted the
energies of his mind. The doctrines,
measures, logic of these Fire-eaters, then
seem TO him either more Just or polite
than those he had formerly espoused, and
with willing mind he embraced this new
mistress of his affections. Yet he had no.
thereby ceased to be a Wing. lie was
only more of an aboiitionst. ''Twas moi
that he loved Caesar less, but Rome more"
He could not entirely divest his mind of
early associations, and memories-but a
stronger motive engrossei for time the
