CO What is the reason, Capt. Odd,
and Mr.. Baker, that Louis M. Oliver,
heretofore one Of the abiest and most in
dustrious workers for the q organization, ="
was not nominated, as per agreement, for
register of deeds? Had he the sin of
being "a ID Frenchman - hanging to
his skirts, like some others whose friends
wished them nomination for the legis-
laturc on Friday-or was it because he
happens to be clerk for Mr.. Rice, and
you wish to cover up your tracks, by
assuming you are not in collision with
the great head Of your pretended "Dem-
ocratic" organization?

the happiness of her people as perfect as
things human can be. Governed by fac
tons, by tricksters and political gamblers,
she will be-what she deserves to be.
The church, the school house, and the
public opinion, give character toa people;
(some may think it would be more correct
to say they evidence the character of
people-in some instances they do, in some
they do not; we will not 60 into that
question now,) while they are well regu-
lated, politicians can do but little harm or
good. In this Territory, the church Is
doing her duty; her ministers are sum
cient in number, and equal !" aoiii'y' III
zeal, and exemplary CHRISTIAN bearing to
the ministry any where in the old States
or The new. The school master is doing
his duty, and the fruits of his labor are
visible in the opening intelligence of our
youth. 1t only remains for public opin-
ion to keep itself free frcm the contamina-
ton Of sellishness and demagogueism; for
the people TO be true to themselves, 10 act
so as to promote their own-the public
good, and not suffer themselves to be used
for the good of a party, or a few party
managers; to cling to the great features
of free government, the greatest good to
the greatest number fair chance to ev-
cry man, and each rewarded according to
his merits. This done, the destiny of
Minnesota is not a matter Of opinion, but
of certainty.

One Of the great leading traits Of the

the Secretary, in an evil hour for him, as

Gross INSULT TO ST. PAULA MES
S. NORRIS, the sage (!!!) of Crescent
Hill, was recommended, per order Of Rice
and Robertson, through Dodd and Baker,
to the people of St. Paul, on Friday last,
as person worthy to represent the Fourth
district, Comprising St. Paul, and Little
Canada, and Washington and Wabashaw
counties,) in the next Council. The
"sage," we presume, has earned this en-
viable position by two sessions of hostility
against st. Paul being the seat of gov
eminent. AS the clique were with him,
heart and soul last winter in this crusade,
a "fellow feeling" doubtless makes them
SO ''wondrous kind'' to him now. We
don't know whether we are to have cap
itol or not, or even the walls of capitol,
out of the $4,000 appropriated for that
purpose; but let us at least be SO far true
to ourselves as to Indignantly rebuke the
men who ask us to vote for the very bell
wether of the flock which was deter
mined to give us no show at all.

The PoTATo RoT.-Wc arc sorry to
hear from various parts of the State, that
the potatoes are suffering very much. The
attack has commenced very suddenly, but
has been effective in great destruction
OF the crop. The various theories to ac-
count for this singular disease have hith-
crto proved futile. An attack by insects
has been imagined to be the cause, but
without due reason. The same species Of
insects do not exist in Ireland and this
country where the disease prevails equal
ly. 1t takes place in all kinds of soils and
under every diversity Of climate Almost
every variety of the vegetable has suffered
IN turn, and even seedlings have been at
tackled with the same viruler,ce as the old
est existing kind.-Hartford Courant.

Thus we have endeavored TO give a
true and impartial account of the labors
of Dodd and Baker in getting up ticket
for Ricedom. We have nothing now to
do but 60 to work and defeat it. That
this wiki be done, as sure as the sun rises
on the second Tuesday of October, we
have not doubt. 1t is the same old
jackass, in another disguise. Its being
brought into the world by Dodd and Ba-
ker, only makes the matter worse. We
therefore go in for tripping it" from head
to tail. In the emphatic language of the

go! CARRY ME BACK TO OLD VIR-
GINA !'-Henry Jackson, having become
thoroughly disguised and ashamed of
the recent conduct of Baker and Dodd,
placed by the clique at the head of the
" Democratic party, at the recent meet
ings, left on Monday on a visit to his
friends in Virginia, whittier he has not
been since his residence here-twelvc or
fifteen years. Jack most emphatcallv
states, that he will not he back until after
the election-and all the success he wishes
the Dodd and Baker ticket is, that it will
be " cleaned out by the people, which
circumstance he has no doubt will be a
matter Of history on the 18th Of October.
Maj. Fridlcy, the Winnebago Agent,
brought up the funds for his own and the
Sioux and Chippewa payments, in all
amounting to about eighty thousand dol

the money at St. Louis, on account of the
absence of the superintendent, Col. Mitch

the Western tribes at Fort Laramie but

without it. He has, on al! occasions since
