MINNESOTA EREGT-Wc learn from the Mime
sofa Democrat of the 18th, that this young Ter
ritOry was rescued from the hands of whiggery,
at the annual election on the 18th. The cleo
ton was for members of the lower branch OF the
Legislature and county officers, and the cOOns
were driven into their holes in all directions

now floats triumphantly over her soil!'-.Ml-

MINNESOTA DEMocRATT-The recent election
in Minnesota resulted in the complete rout of
the wings, horse, foot and dragons. The legis-
latnre is strongly democratic. We wish that
Minnesota could only vote for Presdent.-.Mad-
ison Wis.) .4rgus and Dem.
Now, We wish our readers to note particular
ly what is said in the Democrat of this week.
One article is there to BE found under the head
of 'The Minnesota Legislature and its Poll
ties which is worthy of careful pcrusal. II
denies, in substance, most positively, that
the Democrats gained rictory at the last
election! Without at all stopping to decide
whether they did or did not, we would like to
know of that honest and truth-louing editor
We should like to know of him We say, upon
which occasion did he publish a bare-faced lie,
which has deceived his party. at home and
abroad-most outrageously deceived them
in regard to the political complexion of the
Legislature? He now ciphers ont that the
Wings have majority of three in the Conncl,
and either tie or one majority in the House |!
He then comes to the prophetic conclusion
that
The figures show that the Democratic party
of the Territory will be successful hereatter!;
This accords well with the positively stated
fact. last October, that ''our beautiful Minneso-
ia has been rescued from the grasp of Whig-
gery;" that ''the Democratic banner now floats
triumphantly over her soil!' 1t also looks
well, and consistent, and truthful, alongside
the rcitcration, in November, after he knew the
result in the whole Territory!
Citizens of Embellishments and Wings!
This is the wretch who claims that man of the
high character aud integrity of Gov. Ramsey
should be consigned TO the penitentiary, for
doing that which has wronged no individual
which has added to instead of diminished the
business facilities and prosperity of the country!
Behold him, stripped of his silver veil, and Mo-
1,x,f, oil l., I
dcformity see his own columns, wherein one
month he writes that his party is in power in
Minnesota, and the next that it is not! 1t
was a matter of utter impossibilty for him not
to have known the political character Of every
member at the time he wrote in November
They have not-not man of them that ever
claimed to be Dcmocrat-changcd their posi-
ton in the least particular. If they were DEM
ocrats in October and November they are now.
If they are Wings now, they were then.
But this is but another of those miserable,
deceptive and bascly dishonest and dshonora-
bic shifts to which he is ever ready to resort. in
order to carry point of personal aggrandizc-
ment. Tomorrow he would make coalition
with our friends in the Legslature-aye, he
would jump at tiff by that means he could
get any of the public printing. Did he not at
tempt it the first year he was here, and advise
his Democratic friends to 60 into the measure
with him?

The men to whom he appealed were willing
he should be travelling along toward his
final level as rapidly as possible, and desperadO-
like down he goes another grade.
