The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1852-10-16

SEE BorE.-The rumor noticed few days
ago, that this influential German paper at Mil
waukee had come out for Scott, is fully confirm
ed. The following is an extract from late ar
ticle, translated for the Milwaukee Sentinel
1t will be seen that it is tolerable plain talk
Politicians of all parties are to be suspected
when they make loud boasts of being our
friends but when they combine with their fiat
terry glowing 'words of warming" if we dare
be guided by our religious convictions to use
our right of suffrage against themselves, and
would disfranchise our clergy and prevent
their using the rights which belong to them in
common with all other citizens, we can trace
their smiles and lies to common, interested
motive and turn with disgust from the noon
day exposure OF such machinery of dcpravi-
ty.
Democrats tell us that the transfer of our
votes to the support of Gen. Scott will engend-
er bitterness of feeling and procure us Catholics
the cnmity of the Democratic party. God be
praised that this fact is out at last! You ac-
knowledge, then, that our Votes were the ONLY
basis OF friendship, tolerance and protection -
Endless is the mischief which Catholics have
done themselves by this claim of demapopues
to be our protectors We tell politicians,
once for all, that we neither ask nor desire
their 'protectiOn.' On the contrary, we es-
chew and execratc it. Thank God, we can pro-
tect ourselves. We ask favors from no man
and no party. When Wings put up rascals for
public Office, we shall set our face against
them, just as we protest now against the rotten
ness OF Wisconsin Democracy. If our consc-
cntiousness procure the enmity in stead of the
respect OF any portion of the community, not
we, but that portion of the community is to be
despiscd and rcpudiated.
We know that by far the majority of Ger
man Catholics share our views. We solemnly
declare that as Christians, Catholics and Patri-
OTIS, we feel bound to support WINFIELD
SCOTT. and to do our utmost to aid his cause.
Franklin Pierce is doubtltss a good hearted.
honest man, but the Democratic party, of which
he is put forward as the chief, is undeniably
responsible for the Blue Laws of New Hamp-
snlre, and we do not care to sustain leader of
bigots even though he may not subscribe to
all their opinions. Franklin Pierce, whatever
merits his friends may claim for him, is, COM
pared with Winfield Scott. whose fame and in
tegrity are blazoncd over the whole world, an
obscure individual, and we can be under no
conceivable obligation to assist in his eleya-
ton to dignity, for which chance made him
candidate, at the expense of Hero who owes
his nomination solely to his deserts. Rail
away then, We Democratic demOgogues because
we cast off your shackles! Your taunts and
praise affect us equally little, and when you
tell US we must not forsake your party, because
1t is sinking into decay, through roguery and
lnhdelity, we answer, WE WILL forsake it
WING GAN.-Mr. Shewaringer, Wing, has
been elected to the Mississippi Legislature from
Anote county, in place of a Democrat, deceas-
ed.
-Neighbor Buel has received an extensive
assortment of Boots and Shoes, which, as will
appear by his advertisement in another column
he is anxious that all citizens, and particularly
the ladies. should call and examine.
