good enough a Republican to secure the Repub-
lican votes. Mr.. Olmsted and his friends should
learn one fact that the Republican party Of Min
nesota is fully organised, and will never desert
% worthy a man as WILLIAM r. MARSHALL, the
regular nominee Of that party, for one whose
claims are urged by Nebraska men on the ground
that he is running on q Nebraska Platform while
Mt the same time he processes Anti Nebraska SEN
timents. Man cannot serve God and Mammon
at the same time, neither can Mr.. Olmsted secure
the vote of any Republican who is true to his
own sense of Right, and true to his own party,
while he CO., desires to retain fellowship with the
fag- end Of clique whose only aim is the defeat
of an inveterate enemy, and not the triumph of
glorious principles. No matter how much We
may esteem Mr.. Olmsted as a man, we cannot,
and riH not lend our influence in the slightest de-
gree to secure his election, nor can we ask single
man, though differing with US in some respect, yet
but we most earnestly request every Republican
to vote for that man in whom we have unbounded
confdence-and such is WILLIAM r. MARSHALL
have said that Notwithstanding the elements
against US in Winona County, yet l am constrain-
ed to believe that we shall poll a strong vote,
and by many it is thought that We shall carry the
county. Certain it is that Mower, Houston, and
Fillmore Counties, will go for MARSHALL, and if
our friends work energetically in Winona County,
that will be carried also. AtSpringer's, 25 miles
from Winona, there are IS voters, every one of
whom are pledged to go for MARSHALL. The
same can be said of Chatfeld, Oronoco, and 9TH
err places. A gentleman who spent three days
electioneering, informed me that he visited du-
ring that time t,co hundred men, and that every
one of them was opposed to the Nebraska BILL
Although this gentleman was in favor of Mr.. Rice,
yet he was honest enough to express his convic-
tons that the Territory would 60 for the Repub-
licans by handsome ma Ority. From oil
learn, l am fully Of the belief that Mr.. MARSHALL
will carry Southern Minnesota, and if he does, he
is elected beyond peradventure. Our friends at
Winona are stirring. They are not yet complete.
ly organized, but when once underway, they
will make awful havoc in the ranks of the
enemy. With such men as DR.. Balcomb and Son,
Mcssrs. King, Wilson, Foster and Buck, the cause
must progress. They see the necessity for every
Republican voting for the regular nominee, and
they will fight the battle manfully and energeti.

ere this. Mr.. WILKINSON disappointed many by
the bold stand he took for Mr.. MARSHALL and the
cause, as it had been secretly whispered that he
would give his influence for Mr.. Olmstead, as he
was well known to be a personal friend Of that
gentleman. The fa!sehood was blown to the wind,
AMI luke-warm men fell at once into the ranks.
Mr.. MARSHALL acquitted himself in an able and
handsome style. Even his warmest friends were
nsreably disappointed by the mastery manner in
which he han He'd his subject. His personal APP
nearance and general department won for him a
host Of admirers, and many are anxious that he
should come among them an ad lross them again.
Thomas WILSON, Esq, young lawyer of this
,iace, followed Mr.. MARSHAL in speech replcte
with hunor and point. Mr.. Wilson is a young
man, and bids fair to take high position in his
profession. The seed of Republicansm has been
sown in Wnona County-therc are Industrious
workmcn in the field, and we expect to reap
glorious harvest. T. NJ. n.
