the candidates spoke at Heferlin's Store in
Summerville on the Stranger creek
Twombly opened the Ball. and inflicted a
two hours speech upon the audience. Some
of his own friends becoming tired and
wearied with his prosy account of pioneer
life, ard the history of Daniel Boone, in
terrupted him. and wanted to know when
hewas coming to the ''pi,lt'' on the niger
question. He at last broached it in a very
tender manner, protesting great respect
for the rights of the Shareholder, and the
institutions of Slavery, and concluded by
adopting the Free Whsfe State Platform.
In doing so he forgot to explain how it is
he,is found in such bad company, cheek by
iowl with the abolitionists in trying to make
Kansas free State. The other candidate
on the Free State Ticket, has not yet made
his appearance. 1t is said he is little
unwell, and will likely remain so until af-
ter the election. The Editor of this paper
wound up the ball, that Twombly had open

We are informed that Mr. Rice recently
visited Farribault, a promising village in Rice
County, and made himself somewhat ac-
quainted with the people. Before leaving he
was careful to make the impression on the
minds of several of the citizens that he took
a lively interest in the prosperity of the
place, and some of them gathered from his
language that he had made considerable in
vestments there, (Which is not true.) He
intimated to some one or more of them that
quite likely enough they could have the
Land Office at Red Wing (or at Winona) re-
moved to Farribault. 1t was soon a matter
of excitement, and PAD of the people were
for time, half disposed to inquire, "Hadn't
we better secure the favor of Mr.. Rice He
may do much for our town"
This is exactly a specimen of what we
meant in saying that Mr.. Rice and his friends
are depending for success on cajoling the
people-telling them in one place what he
has done for them, and in another what he
can do. This matter of Land Office may
thus serve as double bait At Red Wing,
(or Winona, as the fact may be, the people
can be told, s'Mr. Rice has got Land Office
for you; and if your gratitude is worth a
white bean, you will vote for him." At Far
ribault- Likely enough at other places, if it
will serve turn-the people can be told,
s'Ar. Rice goes for giving you that Land
Office; and if you care anything for your
interests, you viii vote for him"
Let it once be told at Red Wing or Vino
ma that Mr. Rice has expressed himself fa-
vorably about the removal of the Land Office
to Fa1ribault, and the ruse is up. We have
no doubt but that if the people could get q
view of all the strings the platformless can
didate is pulling, they would start back with
horror at the dupEcity of which he is guilty
1 He cannot be elected unless these strings
are pulled successfully .--&. Anthony Rep.

The Rice electioneering tactics in regard
to the Half-B Question are about the
same. Mr.. Rice tells the Sioux Half Breeds
and those interested by marriage with them
that it is the design of the Congressional act
which lie had passed in relation to the subject,
that they shall be solely benefited thereby.
He then pays visit to the white settlers up
on the Half Breed Tract, and informs them
that his act Of Congress was entirely design
ed for their benefit, and not for the benefit of
the Half Breeds. ------
But the controlling vote of Minnesota is
now in the hands of men who can read and
write. The land of the Free School is now
happily represented in Minnesota by an over
whelming majority of the voters. Indian
Traders tactics-those double-faced tricks
which Mr. Rice formerly used to mould and
sway our sparse and uninformed frontier
population to his will, must come far short of
winning this year.

FOREIGN NGWS.

HALIFAX, August 90
The Canada arrived here en- route for Bos-
ton at an early hour this morning, bringing
Liverpool dates to the 18th.
News highly important and exciting, both
from the Crimea and Baltic.
The threatened bombardment of Sweaborg
by the allied squadron, was opened on the
9Th inst and continued uninterrupted until
the l1th. Loss by the allies trifling, but on
the other side, destruction of property inn
mense.
In the Crimea, on the 10th inst, the Rus
slams, under Gen. Laprandi, attacked the
lines of the. allies on the Tchernay. A des-
perate encounter of three hours ensued.
when the Russians were repulsed with very
heavy loss.
Gen. Simpson had telegraphed to the Brit
ish Government that the bombardment of
Sevastopol would be recommended on the
18th.
In regard to the bombardment of Swea-
borg the French Admiral telegraphs, on the
l1th, that it was attended with success.
An immense confagration, lasting forty
five, hours, destroyed storehouses, maga-
zines, the arsenal, &C., inficting terrible
blow and an enormous loss on the Russians,
u,
not man being killed.
Admiral Dundas telegraphed with rather
more moderate account and subsequent
advices are somewhat modified.
The allied squadron returned to Nargon
after the bombardment.
The news from the Crimea is important.
The Russians, $4,000 or 10000 strong, under
Gen. Liprandi, attacked the Tchernaya lines
of the allies at daybreak on the 10th, and
after desperate engagement'of three hours
duration, were driven back with loss of
from 5000 to 4, 900 men, and large number
of prisoners.
The loss on the side of the allies was COM
paratively small.
Omar Pacha received hasty orders to re-
turn to the Crimea instead of going to Asia.

chakoff had received orders from the En-
peror to sink the Russian 6eet at the Mala-
kof

WHAT DO They MEANa Wban the r;

WHAT DO They MEAN2-When the Rice
papers in the Territory take up and echo all
over the Territory the saying of the Wash
ington Union that their candidate is a sound

praises of the man, and they insist that his
principles are right, but never bit dare they
tell us what those principles are Press

braska man, and they tell us /" No matter
what his views are on that question, SO long

worked as they should work, victory would
crown their efforts. The Governor was very
happy in his speech, and elected warm
rounds of applause.
NJ. S. Wilkinson, ESQ.,, next took the
stand, and rolled out a volley of elo-
quence and facts which made old hunkerdom
shake in its boots. The march of the Slave
Power-the damning and aggressive charac-
ter Of that power-the destruction of solemn
compacts to give strength to that power
the detrimental effects that power was hay
ing and would have upon our institutions
upon free labor-upon right and justice-the
falseness of the popular sovereignty doc
trine-the effects of this doctrine as por-
trayed in the recent outrages committed in
Kansas the topics upon which the
speaker dwelt with force and earnestncss
Facts, arguments and Illustrations were piled
up SO high that if our opponents should at
tempt to climb over them, they would not
reach the highest point, even at the judg-
ment day. Mr.. Rioe's great appropriation
hobby was taken up and dissected with
skill. Scarcely a scale was left of the hon
orable gentleman. Then his two-hcedness
on the HalfBreed tract was pictured 20
clearly on the canvass that even his friends
had to admit its correctness.
Mr.. Wilkinson's speech was telling
one, because it was truthful one, and
we hazard the assertion that many went
away from the meeting more fully impressed
with the belief than ever, that Hon. II. M.
Rice was not the man to represent them
again in Congress. A band of music was on
the ground, and played some fine airs.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Wilkinson's
speech, committee of three was appointed
to draft resolutions, and j. N. Murdock, ESQ,
Chairman of that Committee, made the fol-
lowing report:
ResOlUed, That we heartily endorse the
principles of the Republican Party, and
pledge our united support to VIM. r. MAR
SHALL, the Republican candidate for Dele
gate to Congress.
The resolution was unanimously adopted,
when the meeting was further addressed by
7. NJ. Newson, of the Times, who urged
unity of action and determination of pur-
pose in organizing and sustaining a great
Republican Party in Minnesota.
Onward is the march of the good cause in
Minnesota! Our friends everywhere appear
determined to keep the ball moving. They
must not-they acM not tire.

An accident occurred two miles above Burl-
