Ii is an old saying, that desperate diseas-
es, require desperate remedies. IL there
was ever a desperate disease, it is the WIN
sEBAGo IrcH. There are men, who are
themselves foul, who maintain that call is
fair in politics. Such men tell lies, COM
MT forscries and all manner Of crime, in
their political warfare, as remorseless'y rs
an army of brigands would sack a CITY,
What, then, is TO be expected of men,
whose leaders profess nothing, and who
never practised anything better than the
trade of political highwaymen? Caught
and convicted and branded for their false
hoods here, these gentry, like n swell-mOb,
whom they too much resemble, have chang
ell the scene Of their yillainous operations,
to Washington county. In the frs. place,
they tried, by bare-iaced forgery of the
names of sun,lry well known democrats in
that county, to a pretended democratic call,
to produce the impression, which is utterly
false, that the Democracy of that county
recognize, in any manner whatever, the
movements of the Rice and Robertson
Winnebago Fur Company, as democrat
c movement; they knowing, perfectly well,
that with the exception Of James S. Nor
ri., who kept hinsse!f in market t,co ,ceeks,
at the opening Of the last session, waiting
to he bid in TO our side, by the presidency
Of the Council, and who finally knocked
himself off to Rice, Robertson & Co., 70,
the chance Of the Delegacy, and William
Holcombe, who went it blind for Wings, al
both the last elections, and knowing, tina,
with these exceptions, there was not cor.
poraI's guard in the whole valley of the ST.
Cro,x, who care one straw for PARTY, a,
this time, and least Of all, for such party
they ,rumped up this forged call, to deludt
honest democrats into their ranks, in order
TO get Minnesota under the yoke of 3
giovelling dernagogue. They did not stoI
at forging this call. Knowing full well
that they could not delude the people o
Washington county, without making then
believe, that the old, staunch, well knowr
democrats Of the county, were with them
they proceeded actually to nominate, o,
their ticket, several democrats Of that coun
~, who detesi and abhor the Rice faction
from root to branch; thinking by this bold
high handed movement, to hustle up
icrowd Of democrats, in support Of their ne
farious projects, tefore there was time 70
those nominated, to decline their nomina
tons.
in pursuance Of this villainous scheme o
lfaIseliood and deception, their Federal or
gan in St. Paul, has boldly asserted tha
NJ. f.. A,nes, is the only man in Washing
ton county, who resists their Organization
plans. Their game of falsehood was corn
pence.I little 100 early to give them an
success; they have overdoDe the thing; an
their scheme for gagging, binding and cal
rying Washington county, by making sol
tie upon it with whole posse of falsehood.
will result disastr ,usly to the Nvinnebag
Fur Company. BY reading the resolution
which we publish to-day. Of a Conven,io
just held in Saltwater, it will be seen i
, what estimation James S. Norris and NJ
Holcombe and the Democrat and the whoI
W;nnebago Fur Company, are held in III.
county. Then here come letters, one aftt
another. from Democrats of that county
} who have been nominated by the sham Ric
Democracy, declining such nomination
and expressing, in words Of scalsling =,
