Gov. shannon in Kansas.

Or rather We should say, Cow Shannon
in Missouri" Gov. Shannon has made a
speech to the kansas-NIissourans at West
fort, Missouri, and pledges himself to do
what he can to help along the Stringfellow
mob. All right, Gov. Shannon! We all
supposed you would fulfil your mission to the
letter, and none of us are disappointed in
reading your Westport speech.
The following fact from the Chicago Press
is good accompanimentto to Shannon's speech
But let every voter of Minnesota read the
new Governors speech:
"About the time Shannon was appointed
to succeed Reeder, the telegraph announced
the presence of Judge Douglas and Mr.. Ma
son of Virginia, at the Presidents house in
Washington. We do not know that they
advised the appointment of Shannon j, bat
from the alacrity with which the latter has
entered upon the work of planting Slavery
in Kansas, the presumption is strong that
both they and the President understood the
man, and that the dinner party was en-
tirely harmonious on this head. 1t will be
very safe to watch President Pierce's new
Satrap."

nesoia Historical Society

We are requested to state on behalf of the
Minnesota Historical Society, that having
been at considerable expense lately in fitting
up room in the Capitol for the reception of
their library and cabinet, it is necessary to
call upon the old members and those among
our citizens who may desire becoming such,
to found and sustain this commendable insti-
tuition. For the annual contribution of $S1
each for the present year, ON payment of
which. due, they become members of the As
sociation and will be entitled to participate
in all its privileges and advantages.
If liberal contribution is made. by our
citizens, it is expected the Hall of the Soci-
ETY. in the Capitol will be open and ready this
Fall for the visitation Of members and those
whom they may introduce.
The Treasurer of the Society, j. W. Bond,
will commence calling on our citizens this
day for their contributions.
AS all the expenses of the Society for the
past two years have been borne by the Off
GERS thereof, it is hoped that each citizen will
now feel it his duty to contribute y dollar
and become member, and to do it cheerful
ly! Persons throughout the Territory who
desire to join can do so by forwarding theif
names and initiation fee to J. w. BOND, st.
Paul.

Maine Elecii Triumph -
"Great Cry and Little Wool"

M
'Great Cry and Little Wool"
The Democrat comes out with loud crow
over the Maine slection. What consolation
it can get from the figures before it, we are
at loss to imagine. 1t is true that the
Republicans as an organization have not done
quite as well as they did last year, but the
Nebraska traitors are far from being endorsed
by the people Of Maine: The Galena Adver-
tiser Of Thursday says: -
"From the telegraph returns we have from
Maine, it is quite certain that the Pierce and
Nebraska men have been left in minority
of thousands. Morrill, and Reed, Republi-
can and Whig-both strongly opposed to the
Nebraska fraud and to the Administration
lead Wells in the towns heard from, soine
1000. The majority of The Legislature win
be ooitipossd of Liberals Wings, and
Democrats opposed to the present Maine
Law, and chosen without regard to old party
questions. 1t is impossible now to say who
will be the next Governor of Maine, Reed,
Nhig, or Wells, Democrat and Anti-Liquor
Law. When we consider, that some 10000
Anti-Nebraska men voted for Wells on the
liquor question, it must be conceded that the
Anti-Nebraska feeling is stronger than ever
there" eet' J1.1f1
ton't crow too loud just yet, neighbor
Democrat. About thousand of the good
Republicans who soted in Maine last year
will vote i'm Minnesota next month

tiles, we are informed, that he is not Ne

Land Officers and Ashley Jones had him in
tow, he faced the following orthodox music
in the Democratic Convention then and there
assembled. The following resolutions were
put right into Mr.. Rice's face and eyes, and
passed but last week at Winona. He dare
not patsicly deny that he does not endorse
and sustain them all, and that too without
complaining of the nauseating character. Of
the DOSE. Rice would have made good
man for. Governor Of Kansas, if Shannon
had only backed out. But read the Rice

Resozuea, That this Convention fully endor-
ses the known doctrines of the Democratic
party, expressed in the present administra-
ton of our Government. @ ssss
Resolued, That we hold the principles of the
Kansas-Nebraska Bill as perfectly consistent
with the above doctrines, and pledge them
our hearty support.
Resoloed, That we will heartily support the
nominstion Uf Hon. II. M. Rice for Delegate
10 Congress, conceiving him to. be an able
and consistent exponent,of these principles.
The Argus -Rice's organat Winona- sup
presses these resolutions, although the editor
kaaors that they were passed by the Conyen7
ton!
We learn from the Red Wing Sentinel that
a meenting was held in that town on Satur-
day last to nominate a ticket for the Legisla-
ture, composed of men who favor the cleo
ton of Mr.. Rice to Congress p' So, it appears
the Red Wing Land Office and its whippers-
in have -'caved''- finally The Republican
element has become so strong in the Fourth
Council District that the very name of Ode,

upholders and patrons. Thus much is accom-
pIshed at any rate. Now, Republicans Of

. where bio they Expect to Get Their votes p

&c Where Do They Expect to Get Their Votes p
This is the natural question which arises,
when the Nebraska-Rice men boast that they
will elect their candidate by large majori-
ty. They know that they will ruh behind in
st. Paul and in all the heavily populated dis
tricts of the Territory. But they intend to
elect their man by the same means they
used to procure his nomination.
In the back counties-in Mower, and
Freeborn, aid Brown, and Todd, and in Doty
and Superior on the north shore of Lake
Superior, they have their engineers all en-
gagged and on the spot to run in an over
whelming illegal vote. They will play the
Atchison and Stringfellow in all these re-
mote districts if they are not Watched. In
fact, some of them publicly boast that on the
north shore of Lake Superior, Rice will get
800 votes out of 800 inhabitants Let them
be watched.

CooL-VERY THE New York Tribune
says that on Mount Washington, the highest
peak of the White Mountains in New Hamp-
shire, young lady is reported to have frozen
for face on the 17th of August. Ice formed
there that morning to a considerable. thick
ness. On the same day, at Quebec,
the atmosphere was clear and dry, and
sheltered from the wind it was pretty COM
Portable; but thick woolen shawls and over
coats were the rule, not the exception. We
have nothing like that here yet, though wool
en- garments are not uncomfortable morning

Declination.

Neighbor Anies. of the st. Anthony Re
publican, has chosen the better part by re-
fusing to be bothered with legislative honors.
That he would have been elected to the
Council over the fragile and inconsistent Op-
position put up against him by the Rice
Nebraska party, there is not particle of
doubt. But we hold to the principle that a
political editor has one great arena of labor,
and one 9ply--the sanctum: The Hennepin
County Republican Committee make the fol-
lowing announcement in the last Republican:
At meeting of the Hennepin County Re-
publican Committee, the following letter was
received from Rev. c. G. Ames, candidate
elect of the Republican party for the Seventh
Council District: -.

GENTLEMEN Il beg to decline the posi-
ton rendered me by the kindness and conf
dence of our County Convention, as candi-
date for the office of Councilman. The
reason for this step would do me no discredt
were it expaired to the public; nor am.
prompted to it by any feeling inconsistent
with the highest respect for you, for the
Convention and for the party. l regret to
observe that, through the oversight of the
Convention, the three different elements that
compose the Republican party-the fusion o
which, as matter of course, is not yet quite
complete-are not all represented on oul
ticket-an error which trust will be RENE
died in filling the vacancy occasioned by my
withdrawal. This oversight would never
have occurred, had the Convention beer
managed by set of crafty wire-workers
and is therefore to me striking proof that
thus far, the Republicans of Hennepin art
free from that class of pedestrians who Il" fl,

continue, as ever, with full confidence in oul
principles.
Yours for Freedom, Temperance, and Po

of Hon. Joel B. Bassett, subject to the rati
