Minnie SOFA Politics.

The st. Pau papers contain nothing but poll
ties, and one might suppose from the earnestness
with which theg abuse each other and praise up
their respective candidates. that the well being
and future greatness of the American Republic,
if not the final overthrow of despotism in Europe,
depended upon the result of the coming election
of Minnesota Territorial Delegate to Congress.
We gratifed, however, that in all the abuse
heaped upon the Republican party by the Rice or
gans, the Republican candidate, Mr.. MARSHALL,
escapes, an evidence that the Republicans of Min
ncsota, like those of Wi, consin, Ohio and other
States have chosen man HONEST and CAPABLE,
not a mere politician, political wire puller, as
has BEEN and now is too much the case with the
old political organizations. 1t is generally sup
posed by thvse outside the Territory, that Mar
shall's election is fixed fact, because there are
two candidates of professedy the same stripe, op-
posed to him. There is little doubt of the triumph
of the Republican party, but not without effort.
The opposition are INSCRIPTIONS, and will leave
no stone unturned, no means untried to elect their
candidate, and those who love Republican prin-
cplcs who devoted to the best interests of the
selves to secure the election of Mr.. Marshall.
We have conversed with a number OF persons
from Fillmore and other counties in Southern
Minnesota, and learn from them that there is
strong Republican feeling throughout that portion
of the Territory, and from the signs Of the times.
we predict large majority for the Republican
candidate, WV. r. MARSHALL, and the establish
ing upon firm basis, principle of love for Free
dom, and opposition to Slavery aggression and
extension, throughout the Territory of Minnesota,
that shall make its influence felt in all future
struggles for the supremacy Of Right over Wrong.

RulnOred Forgery !!

A rumor was current on the street yesterday,
that one of our merchants had committed for
gerry to a large amount 1t seems that he had
been in the habit of endorsing notes for a gem
tleman whose drafts were readily cashed in n.
York, and sometime in August last, believing
that he could draw note as we'll as his friend
and endorse it, the presumption is that he did
SO, on which he received upwards of $1,000.
In September another note was forged Oh the
same gentleman for nearly the same amount,
and both paid at one of tie principal Banking
Houses of this city. The gentleman in
whose name these notes were forged, was alb
sent from the city at the time, and was made
aware of what had occurred by letter from
his friend in New York, who stated that he had
cashed the drafts but was somewhat surprised
at the amount of money he was drawing. This
opened his eyes, and hunting for the endorser
of the notes (who was alike the forger, it was
ascertained that he had purchased several trav-
cling trunks and was on his way to N. York,
for which place he left on Saturday last. The
gentleman who had been wronged is now in
pursuit of him and will doubtless overtake him
before he reaches his destination. We have
other facts in our possession but refrain from
giving them rs well as the names of the parties,
preferring TO wait until other developments
transpire, when our readers shall know all.
P. S.---We learn that the documents forged
were checks and not notes.

The real Southern Doctrine.

The st. Panl Democrat now gives open battle
to the Republicans, on the issue between slavery
and freedom. Well knowing the idea of the Re-
publican movement is ''No slavery outside Of The
present Stare States" it deals with them as seq
tiona enemies of the South, and en- ,mcs of the
Union. 1t says:
The Republicans do not present National
issue and avow principles which will benefit alike.
all portions Of the confcdcracy.
Now if a man is an enemy to the Union, or to
any part of it, simply because he opposes the ex-
tension of slavery, it follows that to be friend
to the Union, one must be in favor of the extern
sion of slavery. Ii the Democrats language
means ANYTHING, it means that more Slave States
and more Slave Territories will $ benefit alike all
portion of the confederacy. psf. Anth"ny Re

DUEL.-A duel was lately fought in California,
between Charles Lippincott and Robert Tevis,
which resulted in the immediate death of the latter,
while the ball from his pistol passed so close to the
head of Lippincott that it caused him to staggcr.
The cause assigned is some remark that Mr.. Te-
Wis gave utterancc to while electioneering at Down

lowed to the tomb by the largest concourse
of people that ever met at that place.

The STRICKEN CITIES, 1.-The following ex-

gloom which overshadows the stricken city Of
Norfolk: 'ssf
The aspect Of the stricken cities is melan-
cbQly in the extreme. Nothing is visible in the
SHEETS Of Norfolk save hearses, physicians car
riages and members ofthe Howard Association,
conveying the sick to the hospitals. The move
ment Of business is completely paralyzed. Our
informant saw but one store open---a family
grocery for the sale of necessary supplies; and
this, with the apothecaries' shops, constitute
