%The citizens of Mif1inburg and vi
cinity, certainly made vigorous effort for
the county seat, and we are assured felt 90
certain of success that they had prepared
for celebrating the even: by dinners, pro-
cessions, music, &c. We think they in
dulged too extravagant hopes Of the bene-
i:s Of the proposed addition to their re-
sources, for no. over half dozen men
would realize the value Of their sacrifice
in ten years, and to others it would have
been no percephble benefit.
By far the most Of the voters
in the Western townships naturally pre-
ferred to have the seat Of justice as near
home as possible, bat we doubt not they
will sooH find Lewisburg as advantageous
location, to the most Of them, as New
Berlin was Aud it is much easier for
the 39S voters of Hartley, most of whom
have teams already, to come on nine miles
further, and get their mileage, than it
would be for the 5l9 voters Of Lewisburg
to hire conveyance and 60 nine miles.
The mileage saved to the county, by hav-
ing Cour. here, would be as the difference
between $40 and 39S.
Our ellow-citizens, we doubt not, will
all generally be satisfied as soon as the new
state of things is organized and the ma
chinery gets fairly to work. They need
not be afraid Of sickness, or of railroad
bonds, or any other of the fanciful evils
with which the Miftlinburgers endeavored
to excite alarm and envy. You will find
US IN the main, we trust-as you have
heretofore-an honest, social, prosperous
people, who wish you well, aud whs feel
that your welfare IS indissolubly connected
with our own. In mutual efforts for "the
greatest good Of the greatest number"
may We spend many happy years together.
rA-As far as we have heard, our Nor-
thumberland neigbbors acrOss the river are
rcjoiced at our success, and will take mea-
sures, at the proper time and manner, to
cast in their lot with ours in county orga-
niza,iou. Proper county buildings, EN-
ished, paid for, aud legally conveyed to
the county. will ensur. the union.

Financial Affairs of Ramsey County.

!: It is. generally admitted by all parties
that the financial condition of Ramsey Coun-
ty is most horribly unhealthy. The pesti-
lent fever at Norfolk and Portsmouth has
not swayed its death dealing power with
more rigid violence, than have the Commits
sioners of Ramsey County put forth their
edicts to crush out all yestiges. of health at
our great receptacle of the peoples revenue

Bennett came into the Board, things for a
year had all gone the. wrong way. lie has
done what he could to effect reform; but
with negligence to contend with on one
hand, and open dishonesty on the other, he
has had allowed him very poor show to
accomplish anything substantially beneficial
Finally, matters arrived at such an un-
bearable pass, that the Grand Jury which
was in session week before last, felt it its du-
ty to present the whole. management of the
County affairs in, an able and concise report
to the District Court. We shall give the
Grand Jury an opportunity of being heard
through our columns tomorrow.

Painful Intelligence,

Inc relatives of HENRY X. RAMSEY, ESQ.,,
late OF Manomin, learned yesterday the sad
news that he had fallen victim to that dread
full scourge, the yellow fever, at New Orleans
on the 9th inst. Mr.. Ramsey was brother
OF Ex-Governor and j. c. Ramsey of our
city, aged at the time of his death about 35
years. He emigrated to Minnesota about fif.
teen months since, and. interested himself in
the milling business at Manomin in our coun-
ty. He served as subalten officer in the
Mexican War with high honors, and was
young gentleman possessed of great moral
attainments and social virtues. He was ON
visit of pleasure to his old friends at the
South when the Dread Destroyer summoned
him to his final home. The many friends
and acquaintances whom he had called around
him during his brief residence in our midst,
deeply sympathise with his relatives in their
sad bereavement.
JOSEPH ARMSTRONG, one of the Oldest and
most respected pilots on our river, was taken
suddenly ill at the wheel of the Luella while
on her way up on Friday last, and died at
Prescott on Sunday morning. His symptoms
were violent vomiting of blood and also
discharge of the same from his bowels. tits
he ruptured blood-vessel. Mr..
Armstrong was faithful steamboat officer
and man universally esteemed by all his &C,
quaintances. His remains will be conveyed
to st. Louis, where his family resides.

The Republican Conventions.

The Republican Conventions.
The proceedings of the Republican Con-
ventions of Ramsey county and the Second
Council District, both of which convened on
Saturday, appear in our columns this morn
ing.
The delegations from the different sections
of the county were full, and the proceedings
entirely harmonious. A glance at the names
of those who composed the Conventions is suf-
cient to show that the interests of the people
were well taken care of in the selection of
candidates. That the delegates did their
work well and truly, can very easily be seen
by glancing at the names of the different
nominees. We have the best ticket, through
and through, ever presented to the people Of
Ramsey county by any party, and one which
must certainly be elected if the people are
true to their own interests.
If our set of county candidates are not
men who will guard the interests of the tax
payer, and stop the leaks in the county Treas
ury, we should like to know where any one
would 60 to find such men. We will have
something more at length to say upon this
head in day or two ...- e..
The resolutions adopted in the County
Convention are precisely of the right stamp.
Those who wish to know what the real prin
ciples of the Republican party are, as we un
derstand them, will find them in this plat
form.

The Whole Story in d Few words.

1t is part of the tactics of those who re-
pealed, and who justify the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, to mislead the public
mind as to the matter at issue between them
and the People, and it is necessary to often
recur to first principles and the history of the
past, to keep the issue clear and definite be-
fore the public. The following three para
graphs from the Albany Evening Journal, is
as good for this purpose as five column
speech could be: ,, -...-
SIN 1920, when Missouri asked admission
as State into the Union, it was found that
her Constitution extended Slavery over vir-
gin Territory, whereupon Freedom inter,
posed objection. After long and solemn de-
liberation the question was settled by an
equitable and amicable division, the Southern
portion of the Territory being yielded to
Slavery on the express condition that the
Northern portion remain forever Free. In
that division Slavery obtained, if not theLi
cn's share, that most available and most de-
sired. In other words the South had its pay
down, while. the North gave a long. credit
Slavery bad productive land. The North was
content with a wilderness. Missouri came
with her Slavery directly into the Union
Arkansas soon followed. That peculiar in
stitution" has had the benefit, in Congress,
of the votes and power Of two Slave States,
upon all questions affecting the South favor
ably, OF the North. unfavorably, for thirty
years. During that long period Kansas and
Nebraska were practically barren and worth
less.
"But now, when the tide of emigration
sets. in the direction of these Territories,
opening up prospect for Freedom, the Com
promise which we have been instructed to
regard by the South as sacred, has been de-
liberately violated! And brute force backed
by a doughface administration, is exerted to
forge fetters for Kansas.
"The people, indignant, first at the perfidy
of an enslaved Congress, and then at the out
RACES committed in Kansas, have determined
to resist the aggressions and extension of
Slavery. An act of dishonesty which would
forever disgrace individuals, perpetrated by
"a Government, has awakened universal exc

Broke Jail.

Monday afternoon about O'clock, Ed
ward Lundy and John, Willis, the two ball
and safe gentlemen, Who were committed
about three months ago, for, robbery in
snatching money from farmer from Michi-
gan, made their escape from Jail by picking
the lock of the hall door. They had been,
for few days, very much indisposed, and
were desirous of getting where they could
have more air. and the jailor gave them the
run of, the hall, which they concluded to
evacuate on the first opportunity. They
were discovered to be gone in about five min
utes after they left, and the alarm was i'm
mediately given. Constable McNulty put in
pursuit Of them and found they had taken to
the brush on the hill back of the jail They
were hunted until dark, discovered, and
overheard to say they would cross near Bur-
toms Bridge. Mr.. McNulty left them for
the purpose of procuring assistance, and had
the promise Of another constable to meet him
and proceed to the bridge and there await
their crossing. At the time appointed, no
one appearing to accompany McNulty, he
went alone, and soon after getting to the
bridge, the ball and safe gentlemen made
their appearance. McNulty Immediately
took them, and they went along very peace
ably for about half q mile, when Lundy con-
cluded he had. gone about far enough, and
sprang from the constable and ran. McNul-
ty drew large pipe the only fire arms he
had with him, and ordered him to come
back, but he would not and as he was alone,
in the dark, McNulty concluded one was
about as much as he could well manage, and
brought him in and secured him in jail
Lundy is still at large. :, a..
Much credit is due to officer McNulty for
the faithful discharge of his duty on all occa-
sions, and especially on this-Galena Adu.
