His name was Strange. Many will think
his conduct strange also. He was zeal
Gus preacher and a sweet singer. Nothing
gave him so much pleasure as 10 60 about
the country preaching and singing. A be-
nevolent gentleman, well off in worldly gear
desiring to make him and his family com
Portable in their declining years, generous
" presented him litle-deed for three hus-
dred and twenty acres of land. Strange &C.
cepted the donation with :hankfulness, and
went his way, preaching and singing as he
went. But after few months he returned
and requested bis generous friend to take
back the title-deed. Surprised at the re-
quest the gentleman inquired:
is there any flaw in it?'
Not the slightest
is not the land good p
First rate
isn't it healthy?' .
None more So ea. =.
why, then do you wish me TO take it
back? 1t will be a comfortable home for
you when you grow old, and something for
your wife and children if you should be ia
ken away ,
why, I'll tell you. Ever since Eve had
tha: deed, I've lost my enjoyment in singing.
I can't sing my favorite hymn with good
conscience any longer.
What is that
This ~
''No foot of land do possess, s
No cottage in the Wilderness srOa
A poor wayiaring man.
Il dwell awhile in tents below,
| Or gladly wander to and fro.
IT'LL my Canaan gain.
.Yonder's my house and portion fair,
Nv treasure aud my heart are there,
And my abiding home.'
'ThereP said Strange, I'D rather sing fbat
hymn than own America. I'll trust the
Lord to take care of my wife and children.
He continued singing and preaching, and
preaching and singing, and the Lord did
lake care of him and his children after him

One of the pastors in Lowell, Mass, re-
Gently preached a strong sermon against the
costliness of religious privileges. He con-
demned the paying of high salaries to cler-'
gymen as thereby the pews were often
made to rent at such high prices that poor
people could not afford to hire them. He
urged that a church had no moral right to
pay s7OO year for chior, nor anything
ike it: Such preaching is needed.

The Coming Election.

1t has been the policy Of the supporters of
Mr.. Rice to persuade the people of the terri
tory, that the election Of delegate to the
next Congress could have no effect upon the
question of slavery extension, and Hercule-
an efforts have been made by parading be-
fore the people the list of appropriations
made by the last Congress, for the terrific
~ of Minnesota to keep out of sight the prir-
ciples really at stake in the approaching cleo
ton. But the game was commenced too
soon. There has been time for investiga-
ton, and the people see with amazement the
diminutive proportions of the Office holders
candidate when stripped of his borrowed
pEumes. The fact is thoroughly substanti-
ated that of all the appropriations made by
Congress for Minnesota, only thirty-five
thousand dollars were appropriated to OBJ
jects suggested by Mr.. Rice himself. The
balance of our appropriations were made up
on the recommendations of Mr.. Sibley, our
former delegate, and Of Capt. Simpson of the
Engineers department now resident among
us. 1t also appears from the official docu-
ments, that New Mexico; with delegate
unable to speak one word of English, has in
the same time received appropriations to
three times as large an amount as Ninneso-
ia.
Failing to make out his claim to our votes
on the score OF gratitude for past labors, the
ex-delegate now puts forth in especial claim
to our support on the score of his being a
democrat. To the numerous conscientious
wings among us, this will seem no great re-
commendation, however it may be with the
silver grey, pro-slavery wing of the party
men who have always been fighting far the
spoils Of rico'y alone, regardless of principle.
Nor will the real democrats of the territory.
men who fought fhe battles of democracy
under jackson, and still cling to the demo
cratic principles of Jefferson, be long deceiv-
ed by the sham democracy of Mr.. Rice and
his friends. When they see whig Mr.. Wat
rons his chief fagleman in the convention that
nominated him, and such odd Wings as A.
NJ. Fridley of st. Anthony, and Isaac Atwa-
ter of Minneapolis, editor of the st. Anthony
Express, to be his leading supporters in
Ramsey County, old democrats shake theil

CoNsIsTENcY.-The North Western Dem
ocrat, the Rice organ at Minneapolis, has
this resolution standing at its head as a part
of the "Democratic'' platform of Hennepin
County: -
.1Resolyed, That we regard the secret Or
der called "Know-Nothings," as an innova-
ton upon pure Republican liberty, and that
we will at all times contend against its per-
nicious pretensions."
just above this, on the Democratic
County ticket of Hennepin, we find the
name of CHARLES HoAG for County Treasu-
rer. Mr.. Hoag partly represented the
Know Nothings of Minnesota in the Phila-
delphia National Convention of May last!--
Put this and that together, and we are en-
abled to see the sincerity and consistency of
the Rice men Of Hennepin in placing the an
Tx. N. resolution in their platform.
VERY TRUE.-The North Western Demo-
crat, in commenting upon the bad condition
of the financial affairs of Ramsey County
very truly remarks that there is no good
reason why "a county as large and wealthy as
Ramsey should be bankrupt" !" The. only
reason, neighbor, why things are in this des-
perate condition, is that some of the leadino
politicians Of your party have got hold of the
Keys of our treasury and made use of the
peoples money to suit themselves. We in
tend to stop the leakage in just one week
from to-day. %

heads at Mr.. Rice''s claim to the support Of
democrats. And when democratic conventions
organize with ahig officers, they feel as if they
had stumbled upon a very different kind Of
democracy from that which they used to
know in the homes they have left in the
states, for new homes in Minnesota.
Frank Plerce's democracy, like that of
Stephen A Douglass and the rest of the Ne
braska conspirators, is already stencil in
the nostrils Of every honest man. And can
any one who remembers the serenade given
to Mr.. Rice in Washington upon the passage
of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and his speech
congratulating his serenaders upon its pass
age, and pledging Minnesota to its support,
or who knows the intimate political relations
existing between Mr.. Rice and Mr. Doug
lass, doubt that by re-electing Mr. Rice Min
nesota will practically endorse the Kansas
Nebraska fraud, Douglass, and the admins
tration2 =. ..
But if further proof were wanting, let the
people read the Washington Unions endorse
ment of Henry NJ. Rice, and the desperate
efforts made by certain federal officers in the
territory for his reelection, and then say if
there can be any doubt that vote for Hen
ry NJ. Rice will be vote for Pierce, Doug
lass and the Nebraska swindle.
1t has now become too plain to admit of
that the contest between Mr.. Mar
shall and Mr.. Rice is one that affects not
merely our local interests; it is contest be-
tween the antasonistic principles of freedom
and slavery. Every man who believes it
right that our national government should
use its power to extend slavery, every man
who approves the Nebraska bill, and would
signify his approval of the course Of Pierce,
Douglass, Atchison and Stringfellow, should
vote for Henry NJ. Rice. But how can any
man, whether in former years whig or dem
ocrat, who believes the passage of the Ne
braska bill an unmitigated evil, who believes
that no more slave states should be admitted
to the Union, that slavery should be local,
and freedom national, how can any such man
reconcile it to his conscience to vote for
Henry NJ. Rice, the coafrere and boon COM
panion Of Stephen A. Douglass?

Mr.. Rice at Red Wing.

A friend, writing from Red Wing, under
date of the 28th, speaks of political matters
as follows:
Political matters are apparently working
we'll in and about Red Wing. Bristol and
others are hard at work and are sanguine as
to the result, so far as our own district is
concerned at least. The " Hmkers" had a
meeting here ON Wednesday evening, at
which Messrs. Phelps, Graham, and Rice
spoke. The latter, Judging by all accounts,
made the poorest speech of the three, which
consisted mostly in an attempt to prove that
he was everybody's good man. He was
down on the Know Nothings and didn't
want (?) their votes-was not one himself,
and never had been !. Denied all charges
from all quarters, and as his course has been
such as to justly lay him liable to the charge
of being " all things to all men," on all sides
of all questions, he simply made out that he
was "nowhar," and after the 9th of October
there we hope to find him.
Many of the Republicans went to hear
him, and all agreed that his was poor sub
ject, badly handled. aii - rra
"The Republicans were somewhat ridi-
culed, (not injured by Graham and Phelps,
under the head of Temperance and Aboli-
tionism."
TREMENDOUS FLooD.-The late rains have
swollen the streams in Southern Minnesota
to an extent which has destroyed bridges
and mill property in every direction. We
regret to learn from the Brownsville Herald,
that the mill-dam of Hon. G. w. Thompson,
at Hokah, on Root river has been almost hall
washed away by the late freshet-3 The Her
aid truly adds however, that &c. w. Thomp-
son is not man to be taken down by the
waters of adversity, and his beautiful manu-
featuring town VIII not long want for power
to drive it ahead"
