/ ..Stand by the Nominee.
The basis upon which the approaching Conven-
ton is to be held to give satisfaction, yet We
can but regret that it was not called for month
later that every section of the Territory could be
represented. AS it is, we trust that Delegates from
every Precinct will be here.
! The wing leaders chuckl;ng just over
what they feel pleased to denominae eight among
the harmonious democracy" While we have no
disposition TO spoil the fun Of these gcntemen-know
ing full we'll that if ever the wings Of Minnesota
TO have time of rejoicing, il must be tere the cleo
ton; for the democracy sure Of carrying all
before them the Second Tuesday Of October next,
as the sun is to shine; and after they have achieved
their victory, hy will rejoce; not at the discon6t
ure Of the enemy, but that the people have resolved
that the principles of democracy shall guide the des-
, tnics Of our Territory.
Although apparently doing nothing to organize
their party. the whig wirc-workcrs stea,hi
" and steadily at work drumming up all that remains
Of their scattered forces, determined to nce
Greeley, aud the fragment Of their party in the States,
that, at least in Minnesota, few he wings to
be found who have enough not to be asham
ed TO isht under the banner Of whiggcry little lon
ger. Their policy is this: Anticipating that the
friends Of the unsuccessful candidates for nomination
before the Democratic Convention will feel sore be-
cause their fayort"s not nominated, they vii!
refuse to support the nominee, and that some Of
the unsuccessful asprants can be prevailed upon TO
Independent candidate, that then they Che
whigs) will at late hour bring into the field their
man, ard by stealing march the Democracy,
compel the people of Minnesota to be represented in
the Councils Of the Nation for the next years by
in whose political creed they have no conf
dence.
But our whig friends are counting without their
host. There will be no independent in the field.
There will not be a before the Democratic Con-
vention Of any gentleman who will not support the
nominee Of that Convention, be he whom he may.
And they reckon at random when they believe the
democracy Of Minnesota more for than they
do for principle. The democracy will stick to the
nominee and as one man, resolve that he must be
elected.
We cannot better close these remarks than bv quot
log the Language Of one Of the abest democrats of
{ the Nation, Hon James Buchanan, Of Pennsy lvania
who has recently received the appointment of Minis
ter to England, from President Pierce, not so much
as compliment to himself as an honor to the Union.
In speaking of the Importance Of adheriag to party
nominations, that distinguished statesman says:
"We should remember that in voting for men, we
vote for great principles well for the Ssck
10 The Itcktt good text, and good only for the
reason have stated. That is the philosophy Of it..
Democrats vote for principles; the nominees of the
party mere instruments. Pursue the plain path of
duty in support Of the Ticket selected by the recog
nized authorities of the party-the Regularly Nomi-
mated Democratic Ticket.''
These sentiments are worthy the great Republican
and Statesman who uttered them, and will find an
enthusiastic response from the heart Of every true
democrat. Let bit the democracy oil Minnesota act
in accordance with these suggestions, ani the time
honored principles for which we as party are con-
tendng-the great principles promulgated by Jeter-
son, Jackson and that galaxy of Statesmen that shed
such halo Of glory upon the American name and
f upon American institutions viii be giorously trum-
5 plant.
