THE ELECTION.

To-day will be fought the desperate battle be-
tween Right and Wrong. To-day will be decided
whether the people of Minnesota will deliberate
ly countenance fraud or rise in their majesty
and wipe out the foul blot which rests upon them.
Let not other elements enter into the canvas, but
keep in mind the great dissideratum-the defeat
of those who uphold fraud. 1t is true, better men
could have been nominated, but it is no time to
turn back now. We must push on to victory Or
divide our forces and be defeated. All who desire
cannot be elected, and by division we weaken the
ranks Of those who are known to be right on the
subject which,, above all other subjects at present
engrOsses attention. Let men Of reason think !;
don't act hastily, but once having decided, strike
What will be gained by bringing eight or ten tick
cts into the field? Nothing, unless to discomfort
the enemy, and this may do more hurt than good.
Concentrate your forces on those men whose
chances of election are the best, and then pull
together. 1t matters not who these men are,
whether Wing or Democrat, only let them be Anti
Fraud men, and then stick to them closer than a
brother.
Members of Congress have got their eyes on us,
and unless at this election we do not uphold them
in repeating the Minnesota Bill, we may never ex-
pect any further favors. Weappeal once more to
the people, and adure them to turn out and rout
those who seeking to sell our Territory to un-
principlcd land Spectators.

Further Dc,e.opc mcn,s---Iienncpim County.

We have received y letter from ii friend q. Min
ncapolis which informs us that the editor of the
Minneso.an has been closctcl with a few Wings
OF that place for the purpose of throwing off Il
genuine Anti-Traud Wing, (Joel BaSsctt.) and
substituting Rice man, (IIanson,) with Mr.. No.
bles. His letter came too late, but we insert the
following clause:
..Whirs. so called, attaching themselves to the
Railroad Swindl", propose to throw Off from
their tickets. the Anti Railroad nominee of the
Wing Convention at Shakopcc. and support in
his stead, plant tool of Mr.. Rice, and the NOM
incc of the Democratic party, together with VIM.
II. Mobiles"
The writer, who is an able and genuine Wing,
saws that the editor of the Mnncsotian is the
man who seeks to bring about the above result,
and adds:
..John p. Owens, knows no party or principle
in the coming election but the defeat of right, and
the seeming acquicscnce of the people in the
course of Rice, Schuyler, Billings, Orcms and
others.
Hoping members Of all parties will understand
this scheme, remain yours, &C.,
HENNEPIN.
Cs57 We hope we shall be favored with full
dcvclopemcnt of the facts after the election.

The Convention.

As We told our readers yesterday, so has the Sc
que proved-the Convention was called to ring
in the Rice ticket, and it succeeded. Unsuspcct-
ing men were sold,' and will continue to be sold
just so long as they identify themselves with the
upholders of forgery. What is to be done?-
Will those men who have denounced fraud up to
the present time, turn round and vote for this
ticket? Let them pause before they pass the Ru-
bicon. G. 3 The finger Of Time points to them
and it will mark them for ever after as the apollo
gsts of forgers. g

OBITUARY.

Died, on the evening of October 9th, at the
Winslow House, in thiseity, WASHINGTON TERRErr,
a native of Virginia. Mr.. Terrett had but week
previous arrived here in the capacity of Clerk to
Major Leslie, Paymaster in the Army. On Mon
dav last he for the first time took to his sick bed
and although he received every attention, which
the skill of a solicitous and capable physician,
and the sympathy of anxious friends could COM
mand, he sweetly sank away and infant-like yield
ed up his spirit to the God who gave it: 1t will
be gratifying to his relatives who reside near AL
exaniria. to know that he had one to hover over
him (the landady of the house) who could not
have done more for him, had he been her own son.
Said he to the writer of this notice during his
sckness-''I could not have been treated with
more kindness by my own family, than have
been bv the ladies of this house," He had come
a stranger among us; but his meek, quiet, unob-
trusve, patient manner: especially as these char
actcristics shone so beautifully in his sickness,
won for him the regard and sympathy of all who
were about his bed side. And now as the writer
thinks of him and of his meekness and patience:
his anxious fear lest he should impose trouble;
the calm manner in which he died away he can
not but thank the common Lord and Judge of us
all, that He can and does temper His justice
with His mercy, that while with one hand He does
indict the punishment due for the breach of law,
death y lie does not unfrequently so infuse His
grace and goodness. that with the other, lie more
than compensates by the blessedness which He
imparts. s.

THE WAY They GET Drink AT HARTFORD
Where men want '' suthin' to take'' there is no
ingenuity they will not pcrpetrate to get it-where
the law says they must MT. The following will
come in here like dove tail:
A novel mode of supplying the wants of those
who thirst after ire-water is now in successful
operation in Hartford, CT. A person (if stran-
ger) is conducted by one of the knowing ones into
building in a by-strect, and after going up stairs
and down stairs, through Railways and various
winding ways. finally arriving in room on one
side OF which is small round hole in the wall in
which is small dumb waiter, over it is inscribed
g The wheel of fortune" A person wishing to
try his fortune, writes upon card, and with a
piece Of money puts in the dumb waiter away
goes the waiter and shortly returns with glass Of
Otard, punch or anything YOU may have desired.
Inquire who keeps this place and the answer comes
through the little hole in hoarse voice" A
owNothing.'

HE'S a DEMOCRAT.

Rung the changes yesterday. Why? Because
we have maintained the position we took some
two months since, that we would not vote or sup
port any man or set Of men who are not known
to be antaconistic to the railroad swintllc.--
Upon this platform we live or die. If any of our
Wing friends wish to bolt us for thus maintaining
our consistency, they can do so. We will stand
to the Right under all circumstances, and if this
community won't support us in it, wewill sc
where another will.
