The most cheering accounts are daily
reaching us from all sections of the Terri
tory, demonstrating the truth of the senti-
ment which heads this article The trickery
and two-facedness of OLMsrED and of his
managers, have been developed in other
localities than this, and the people are every
where dropping him. This is especially the
case among our naturalized citizens, at ST..
Anthony, in the Upper Mississippi coun-
ties, and along the Minnesota Valley. Tues
day will show Mr. OLEsTED that duplicity
will not win among an honest people, and
he will learn in his own cese, what has been
the universal experience, that "crime is its
own retributOr."

ST. PETER, Oct. 2, 1855.
Mr.. EDIToR:-The "WinslOw House." in
this place, has been purchased by Mr.. S.
Wheeler, who is now finishing it. Mr.. w. is
much respected in this place, and think will
give general satisfaction. Many rooms are al
ready let in this fine house, and there are am
pie accommodations for the very great increase
of travel to, and through this place. The
country is fast being settled, particularly along
the line of the Big Sioux Road, families are
daily entering, and settling permanently, as
the boats are now running regularly it seems
to have given n new impetus to this flourish.

Very truly, yours, Nc.

naAppended is the card of the Hon.
M. Mcleod, declining an election to the
Legislature. We are sorry that he has de-
clined, as his well known abilities and legis
lative experience eminently qualified him
for the post
To THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF THE SECOND
REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT OF HENNEPIN
COUNTY AND OF THE COUNTY OF CARVER
Having been Delegate to the Democratic
Convention held at Minneapolis, was induced
at the solicitation of personal and other friends
to accept the nomination as Candidate for
election to the House of Representatives. Be-
lieving that my experience and acquaintance
with the local wants of our District might be
of some service, | was willing to waive my
personal objections, with a hope that my ei-
forts might be effectual to that end, if elected,
as had no doubt, from representations, would
be the result. Resting in the belief that the
action of the convention would remain intact,
and that there would be no division in the
democratic party, except on the question of
the Delegacy, have taken no active part in
any subsequent proceedings, nor have l, in any
manner, resorted to electioneering tactics. For
week past have been in the upper country,
beyond the settlements, in my own District,
and it is only since my return, the day before
yesterday, that have heard of movements
tending to DISCRIMINATION, of which l cannot
approve, nor sanction by the publicity of my
name. have, therefore, at this late day, the
only alternative left, satisfactory to myself, of
withdrawing my name, with hope that some
person will be elected in my stead, who will
serve you as faithfully as l was anxious to do;
and with the assurance that l shall continue
to use my efforts for the success of the other
nominees of the convention,
l am, gentlemen, your obed't serv't,

Resolved, That this meeting has the entire conf

mocracy has to be proud Of the 6rmness with
which he has sustained himself and the Democratic
party, against the elements Of the opposition and the

the objects Of the party styled Know Nothngs are at

right of conscience, and that no Democrat can have
any sympathy with their principles, but must hold
them TO he dangerous to the integrity Of the country.

the principles laid down by the platforms Of the De-
mocratic party, adopted in its National Convention;
and that they are the fundamental doctrines which
were conceived the foundation of the Republic and

Resolved, That in Henry M. Rice, the Democratic
nominee for Delegate to Congress, we recognize a
Democrat, in whom the party can repose its con
fdence; and that his ability, fidelity, and services in
the last Congress, indicate him as the man, who de-
serves the support and suages of the people the
next election.
Resolved, That the members of this meeting when
they do adjourn, adjourn meet at the polls to sup
port the nominees Of this meeting.
MIR. Laramy moved the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution:

binary power that it cannot be used as a mo.
tive power, there being no cannon capable Of

One ounce of it is more than enough for
charging thousand caps, the illuminate being
mixed with quarter Of its weight Of water
and half its weight Of gunpowder, and ground
with wooden muller on a marble slab. The
