A PLEASANT DRIvE.-We had pleasant drive
the other day, as far as Lake Phalon, with an old
friend of ours, who by the way is great lover of
the beautiful, Zone would think to see him pull
off his boots, socks &C., and wade into the Lake
to pluck the water lilies that grew there in such
profuse abundance. This is beautiful place.
and back of it through the clear oak openings,
one cannot ride along without experiencing the
liyeliest feelings of enjoyment. From there we
rode round to the new Cemetery. If the people
of St. Paul deserve credit for anything, certainly
in the opinion of the writer it is for the course
they pursued with reference to this burial ground,
it is at proper distance from the city and is we'll
situated in every other point of view. In passing
through the lone and solitary gravc-y yard, how
many and strange are the thoughts that rush
across the mind. In the morning we arc fresh
and bloom like the lilly, and in the evening we
are numbered with the dead.

A few days since when we placed the name of

we were quite certain that he was ths only man
who could unite the elements in the Convention
and receive the nomination. We have not been
deceived in our conjectures, and now that he is
nominated, we believe that he is the only man
who can be elected to represent us in the Halls of
Congress. lie is all the Republicans can wish,
and the platform upon which he stands, is broad
enough to hold every Republican in the Territory
of Minnesota. Republicans throw aside your
prejudces, if you have any-unite in the holy
cause of Freedom, and march to victory! We
have a glorious Standard-bearer, glorious cause,
and let us have a glorious time in clecting the
man who will carry outour glorious principles.
CONVENTION The Territorial Convention met
at the Capitol yesterday morning. There was a
large attendance, and we believe the predominant
desire of the Delegates was to do right to weigh
carefully all the claims of the various Candidates,
and choose from among them the best man. Each
appeared to possess bold independence of spirit,
which prompted him to stand for principle rather
than for men. Such a state of things is truly de-
lightful. Itis seldom We meet with this sort of
procedure in political bodies, that when we do,
it can only be regarded as gem of honor for
ages to be remembered. O. ttf

WILLIAM II. MARSHALL.


In another column of this mornings Times
will be found a letter from w. r. Marshall ex-
panatory of his views and present position be-
fore the public. He is very honest and candid
in his remarks-is not anxious for personal ag-
grandizement and promotion-not willing to
come out and stand as barrier 10 the success
Of his party, or TO be the means of splitting its
ranks, but after being called out before the peo-
pie, stands there and says am in your hands,
do with me as you will, my own personal feel
ings are decidedly in favor of home, yet should
you think that by my accepting the nomination
we will succeed in defeating the man whose
only object is SELF, regardless of the welfare
of the State that can serve you in the Ma
nate me elect me and will serve you to the
utmost of my ability, hut Should you think that
another man would serve you better, elect him,
and bow to it with satisfaction. My only OBJ
duties would be the prosperity of the country
the development Of the Territory. What more
do We want !-what more could we ask !-what
more could we have! Nothing the elements
are all here. Should we not improve the OPP
portunity and choose the right man we can,
rather than let the time pass by, and regret it
hereafter. +? Most assurcdly SO, and we feel con-
fident that such will be the case. We have no
doubt but Mr.. Marshall will received the nomi-
nation-that ere the sun goes down in the eve
ming OF the present day William R. Marshall
will receive the nomination Of the Territorial
Convention.
