Republican Mass Meetings.

Messrs. Noursc, Newson and Melville c.
Smith addressed an enthusiastic meeting of
the citizens of Goodhue county at Red Wing
On Wednesday evening The largest room in
town was crowded with attentive listeners.
Republicanism is walking square-footed
over Goodhue county: and the star of Phelps,
Frccborn & Co. is rapidly paling. 1t will
soon give its last "flicker." .....,
To-day Messrs. Marshall and Wilkinson
speak at Winona, and from thence proceed
westward through the Southern tier of coun-
ties. We expect to hear good account of
their lal,ors.

"a FALSE IMpREssIoN."- Under this head
the St. Anthony Republican puts a duietus
upon the silly story that Mr.. Marshall is
about to withdraw. Our neighbor settles the
matter definitely, in the following decided
statement, which we know he is fully autho-
rized to make:
"Some persons have busted themselves in
circulating report that VIM. r. Marshall
has indicated his intention to withdraw his
name from the candideteship, with view to
favor the prospects of David Olmstead. 1t is
even affirmed that the details are to be ar
ranged at an interview between Mr.. Marshall
and Gov. German, and that the latter gentle
man has already received from Mr.. NJ. a
note relating to the matter. The Governor
informs Mr.. Marshall, however, that he has
given currency to no such statement We
are fully authorized to say that Mr.. Marshall
contemplates no such withdrawal; and that
the aforesaid report, by whemsoever it may
be circulated, is utterly unfounded. Mr..
Marshall could not withdraw without a Sc
we're blow upon Republicanism in Minnesota
neither could he withdraw without personal
dishonor; neither has he any design to with
draw; neither is there any good reasen why
he should withdraw. He is chosen standard
bearer of the combined Republican hosts, and
as such he will stand"

FUNNY, IF TRUE.-We have been inform
ed that THos, S. SLAUGHTER, late of the
Lancaster Gazette" and who, in the capa-
city of Editor of that sheet, exhausted the
walls of his wrath upon the devoted head of
Democracy, is now the editor ofa Democra-
tic paper in Minnesota Eagle.
Now, this wouM be rather funny
true"' We happen to know, however, that
Governor Medill's home organ, the Ohio Fa-
gle, has in this instance manufactured a sweep
ing falsehood out Of whole cloth. Mr.. Slaugh-
ter has been in Minnesota only some two
months, and during that time has taken no
part in politics to aid and counsel
the Republicans when called upon by his
Minnesota brethren in the great cause ofFree-
dom. The Ohio Doughfaces must be despe-
rately driven for capital, thus to resort to an
act of wholesale slarider against quiet and
respected absent citizen of their State. But
perhaps Mr.. Slaughter may be at home in cd
Fairfield to attend to his traducers personal
ly, now in few days.

MONDAY MORNING. dUsusr n, 1856. -
IN. naad sasss A.a,n.

In every quarter Of Sedthern Minnesota
which we visited during or hate absence from
St. Paul. we found the leople anxious and
deeply interested III regdtd to the Land Sale
Question, To man alikest, they wish the
sales postponed. Tie objections to the sales
at this time which we hasf already urged are
the objections that interb9se in the minds Of
the people And yet, We lind large proper
ton of the Rice Press and the Rice influence
of the Territory struggling in favor of the
sales. Mr.. Rice may clalnor against the sales
till he is exhausted Of breath, and run till his
lges are worn out, circulating petitions praying
the President to postpone Che sales; but SO
long as two Of his chief organs the Winona
Argus and the Brownsville Herald-are clam
oring for the sales, the people Ill the thickly
settled portions of the territory who are most
interested, will have no faith in his sincerity
in the premises. The last Argus comes to
us by the mail Of Saturday With d leading ar.
ticle bitterly denouncing those who oppose the
sales. The Herald, in the article which we
published from its editorial columns on Satur
day, says: "Not one half of those who pre-
empt land have any assurance that their tt
ties will ever be perfected" Here is vir-
tual acknowledgment that pre-emption
claimant has no show of justice under the
present management Of the land offices of
Could official insolence go farth-
er than this? The Rice Land Office organ at
tells the people that not more
than one-half of them can have any assurance
Of the pre-emption laws being justly admins
tered by the land officers Mckinney, Ben
nett & Co.! We presume ofcomse, that the
= half" who are to secure their pre-emption
titles are expected to vote for Rice Beauti-
full, isn't it!
We invite attention to sensible comnrl-
nication upon this subject, which we copy
from the La Crosse Republican. 1t is. well
worth reading.

John mitchell .ind jo. Brown.

The Democrat quotes John Mitchell to
prove something against the Minnesotian.
Joseph the Juggler" could not have hit up
on a more happy source to quote from. Nit
chell once wished for an Alabama plantation
stocked with negroes, in order that he might
prove his love of Freedom by handling the
slayc-driver's lash, and,w. take it that our
neighbor. Joseph would be just the man to

BUSINESS in ST.. PAuL-During the whole

RAILROAD CONNECTION WITH ST. LOUIS.
By notice of the Superintendent of the
Illinois Central Railroad, it will be seen that
Dunleith is again in Railroad connection
with st. Louis. The difficulties of the Ohio

ming regularly in connection with the trains
of the Central.

BAD FdR THE REpUBLIcANs.-We under
stand that G. L. Emerson, late nominal edi-
tor of the Democrat, and Tom Wall, the
jailor of Ramsey County, are about to follow
in the wake of the Republican speakers, and
annihilate all such men as Marshall, Wilkin-
son, Jewett, Nourse, &c. That will be bad
business decidedly! Something should be
done Immediately to check and stop such a
dire calamity.

MoDEsT-VERY The st. Paul Democrat
is the personal property of Mr.. Rice-that
is, the types, presses, &C., of the establishment
belong to him. When it speaks, it is Mr.
Rice himself that speaks; and Mr.. Rice daily
proclaims through the columns of the Demo-
crat, that he is the only man in Minnesota fit
to represent Minnesota in Congress. Very
modest man!

Fcllow-countrymcn, now, as before, there are but
two parties in the United States The old-fashioncd

admit alike by action and by word; but in its place
has arisen n combination, united common hope for
power on the one hand, yet torn by internal fends
growing out of doctrines rs numerous us the differ

This is the existing opposition to the democrats
party, which party stronger In its faith than ever,

= INV ASTON OF MEXICO.

The Texas mails bring accounts. of the
organization Of military force within the
United States, maid of the revolution in
Northern Mexico. The San Antonio Led
ger of the 2Stl contains letter from its
correspondent, dated at Lcona river on the
10Th of July, detailing "thc movements of
the auxiliary force intended for. the over
throw of the Santa Anna Government in
Mexico, and the establishment of Govern
ment favorable to the interests of Texas"
The first part of the expedition arrived at
that place on the 18th ult, and men were
said to be coming in hourly in groat num-
bers, and to be expected with great anxiety
on the other side of tho river. The. party
was expected to cross within five days
that is to say about the Oath ult. They are
under the command of Capt. w. r. Horny,
late of the Texan voluntcorss
Accompanying this correspondence is an
address by Capt. Henry to the people of
Texas, and proclamation addressed to the
Mcxicans.
The address to the people of Texas an
nounccs the purpose Of himself and his COM
panions "to engage in the revolution now
existing in the Mexican Republic, to dis,
place the far famed Santa Anna, and cstab-
fish new republican form of government,
government more favorable to the inter-
ests of Texas enlightened in its views, and
with the final intention Of extending the
proud American Eagle overits protection"
He appeals to Texas, in the strength Of
her revolutionary experience and example,
4lo,,, L.,
dering country Of Mexico as the refuge Of
Indian maraudcrs, who pcrpetratc crimes,
robbcrics, and murders within Texas, which
distress "all lovers Of peace and order" p
1t is to the interest of "peace and order"
that Mexico is invaded.
The proclamation to the Mcxicans, pub
lished alongside of the other in the same
paper, talks much more mildly than that
destined for the Texans. 1t does not have
a word about extending the American ca
gle over Mexico, but declare tho wish to
see the Mexicans govern themselves.

Know nothings in close conversation, but
the gentlemen did not suspect them for
belonging to the Order; and in few mo-
ments one Sam asked another Sam If he
had coined the new ordcrHk He said no.
The first one then proposed to 60 and hunt

vidcd the balance of the crowd would 90.
First oncMnd then another agreed until it
came round to our friend JOHN and Sam
No. 3asked himto join them in the hunt.
John finally agreed to go, and in few mo-
ments he found himself in room where
they all assembled round Bible, on which
lay small papep16oss, where they were
all sworn by Sam No. A, and were soon
initiated into tho miscrics, of the order
Inyafcw days John saw the same crew in

going through the whole ceremony just to
deceive the new member. Upon INQUIRY
John says he learned that this same set of

making pretty smart quantity Of oaths

But their swearing don't hold members
