The Tribune for Marshall.

We-find the following timely note Of war
ming and advice to Minnesotians, in the New
York Tribune of the 10Th. The Tribune
has over two thousand subscribers in our
Territory:
MINNEsorA.-It is very desirable that the
Territories should be represented in the next
Congress by Delegates earnestly, unpurchas-
ably devoted to the cause of Freedom for
ALL William r. Marshall is the Republican
candidate for Delegate from Minnesota, and
is pretty certain to be elected over Henry
M. Rice, the late Pierce-Douglas Delegate,
unless too many votes should be thrown away
on David Olmsted, third candidate, who is
opposed to the Nebraska Iniquity, but who,
we are assured, must run considerably be-
hind Mr. Marshall. If the Anti-Nebraska
votes shall be concentrated Oh Mr.. NJ, his
election is morally certain. We urge, there
fore, all Ninnesotians who would have
Kansas and Nebraska come into the Union
as Free States, and thus arrest the westward
progress of Slavery, to draw out every vote
for William r. Marshall.

the county, situated in the pineries North
west of us have not heretofore been skilfully
managed. The expenses thus far have been
more than all the revenue derived there
Cali taxpayers are interested in the Judi
cious management Of the fiscal affairs Of the
county, and we have deemed it our duty to
call public attention to the matter, that the
proper corrective may be applied.
"The Jury have examined the county pris-
on and are pleased to say it is without an oc-
cupant. Our predecessors in their reports
have pronounced the building nuisance, in
which reports we fully concur, and would adj
wise the County Commissioners to proceed
promptly in the erection of a new prison pro-
posed by them, in which it is recommended
that all the modern improvements in ventilla-
ting and heating, consistent with proper econ
omy, be introduced; that it be made fire
proof if possible, and of an ornamented ex-
terror.
"The Jury would advise that the square
upon which the Courthouse is erected, be
enclosed in substantial board fence; that
sheds be erected for the storage of fuel, and
that the wood, rubbish and lumber that now
cucumber the Court House be removed.
sThey would also recommend that suff-
Gent number of fire-proof safes be provided
to secure all the county records, deeds, &C.,
from possible loss. And farther, that they
be kept therein unless when in use.
Cali of which is respectfully submitted.

THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER n, 1856.



Our Weekly Of this week will be the last
which will reach many hundreds of our sub
scribers in the Territory before the day Of
election. We hope that while our Republi-
can friends are in the midst of their rejoic-
ings over the glorious victories they are sure
to achieve in almost every locality, if they
only do their duty, they will not forget to
send in the returns by the very first oppor-
tunity after the counting of the votes. Send
us the returns, let them be good or bad The
sooner we get them from every part of the
Territory, the sooner the people of every
county and precinct will know the exact fig
ures as to how the whole voters have voted
1t will be very little trouble to please both
editors and people in this important particu.

Meeting at saltwater.

The people of all parties turned out en-
masse at Saltwater on Monday evening to
hear Mr.. Marshall and Mr.. Wilkinson. Both
gentlemen acquitted themselves with their
usual ability-presenting the facts of the
Kansas outrages, and other disastrous conse-
quenccs which have resulted from the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise, by convincing
proofs and arguments which made the Rice
Nebraskaites tremble in their boots. The
idea is entirely abandoned now that Rice
will carry the st. Croix Valley by unani-
nous vote. If he gets bare majority in all
that region he will do well.

To the Public.

| The card of Mr.. p. P. Furber, in the Min
nesotian of yesterday, declining the nomina-
ton of Representative to the Legislature
from the First Ward of this city, and recon-
mending my name favorably as substitute,
has just been read by me with surprise.
While return my thanks To Mr.. Furber!
for the unexpected compliment that he pays
me, l am at the same time compelled by cir
cumstances to withdraw my name entirely
from all political consideration during the
present canvass.
In the arena of politics, although never a
stiff-laced partizan, my position has always
been that of an humble co-operator in the
Democratic ranks. My Republicanism "
consists simply in being "Ami-Nemoska to
the back-bone!" Party names are constant
ly changing-we have one nickname to-day,
another tomorrow Great principles, how
ever, are the same for ever. The principles
of Freedom, of Justice and of Humanity,
as promulgated by THOMAS JEFFERSON, the
Bishop of the ancient interrupted Democrat
ic Church, are the principles which have
ever advocated, and shall still advocate, ir-
respective of fashionable epithets, or mere
party names.
Deeming the above explanation of conse-
quence, trust that no one will charge me
with trnsspassing unwarrantably upon the
public ear.
JOHN ESIAS WARREN.
st. Paul, Sept. 25.
Mr.. Warren mentions to us that he in
tends to pass the winter at the East, with
his family, which of course would preclude
the possibility of his serving in the Legisla-
ture. No man in the District could have
more ably and satisfactorily represented it in
the Legislature than Mr.. Warren, had he
allowed himself to be elevated to that posi-
ton.
Mr.. Knauft, the other original nominee
for the House with Mr.. Furber, we have as
certained will be fully sustained by the true
Republicans of the Ward and District. Most
OF the noise that has been raised against the
ticket in that quarter has been the work of
Klce men, who want office at the hands of
the Republicans. We hope the out-and-out
Republicans will pay no attention to these
clamors OF hungry ofice-seekers, but 90 to
work and nominate good man in place of
Mr.. Furber, and then elect the whole ticket.
which they can very easily do.

The &c Foxy" Candidate Smoked Out---Rice Cor
nered ON the Land Sales!

nered ON the Land Sales!
We must give the managers of the Ohm
sted party the credit of having " headed !"
Mr.. Rice on the Land Sale Question most
completely. After all the trouble of sending
10. r. Brown to Washington to have the
Department suppress Mr.. Rice's letters
after all the efforts of the said 10. to have
Gov. German removed and himself appointed
to that high position after all the gas ex-
pended by the Rice luminaries throughout
the Territory to convince the people of their
masters sincerity in advocating the post
ponement of the sales, the Olmsted men
have headed him, and placed him right where
he belongs. He was a leading man iii the
SPECTATORS camp at the start, and is there
still.
The Pioneer of yesterday has the follow
ing matter-of-fact letter.:
WASHINGTON CRY, Sept. IA, 1855.
IR:-The Land Sales are not yet ordered
to be postponed, the Commissioner is most
favorably disposed to the postponement, and
has sent to the Secretary of the Interior a
strong recommendation to that effect.
The Secretary of the Interior is not yet
here, but will be tonight; when an inter-
view takes place between him, the President,
and others, which, it is believed, will result
favorable to the postponement.
AS some of your people anticipated, Mr..
Rice had been the cause of the sales being
brought on. He had urged the Government
officers in the most earnest manner, as his
letters here on file show, to bring on these
Land Sales at the earliest moment. On the
5th of April last, he wrote to the proper De-
partment, earnestly urging that the Procla-
nation for the sales be issued.
On the 18th June last, from st. Paul, he
again wrote here, urging that the proclama-
ton for these sales be issued Immediately !;
which letters are here on file in the Office of
the Secretary of the Interior. l have seen
and read them both. The Secretary of the
Interior, in his report to the President, says
that these sales were proclaimed at the ur-
gent request of the Hon. H. M. Rice, Dele
gate from the Territory of Minnesota.
Now we shall see what the hard working
settler thinks of the conduct of Mr.. Rice.
His conduct has brought on more serious
calamity than has befallen our Territory since
it's organization. But he was serving the
men of money and the spectators by and
through whom he expects to force himself
upon the people again.
II. NJ. Rice also recommends the Winnie
bago Indians to be located on the Minnesota,
about their present location a copy of the
letter will soon arrive in Minnesota.
So much for the Land Sales-so much for
Winnebagoes.
Now, if Henry NJ. Rice can be elected
after the exposure of his duplcity and
second Land specializing acts, God only
knows what sort of stuff your people are
made of.
Truly, VERlTAS.

Repabliean Mass Meeting At Hassinss.
Pursuant to call of the Republican
COMMITTEES of Dakota County, the Republic

ing, at Smiths Hall, in the town of Hastings,

The meeting was called to order by G..
johnson, on whose motion, Dr. THOMAS

Trip.
Supervisor Of Roads.-Martin Poor.
w. r. Marshall, Republican candidate for
Delegate to Congress, was then introduced
by the President, and addressed the meeting
at length upon the great issue contained in
the present canvas. His remarks in refer
ence to Slavery was most eloquent, and his
arguments incontrovertible Though some
of the opposition were present, yet profound
attention was paid to his address throughout,
and at its close were greeted with such en-
thusiastic cheering as only Republicans can
give. ,...f
Speeches were also made by DR.. G. P.
Adams and o. G. Gibbs, Republican candi-
dates for the Legislature, for Dakota County.
On motion, the proceedings were ordered
to be published in the Republican papers of
st. Paul.
Then adjourned.

* A bar-keeper in Rutland, Vermont
complains that the authorities have put back
the temperance cause years by prosecuting
him. He says the people were becoming SO
well trained that they took liquors from him
which were two-thirds wafer; and if he had
been let alone he would have got them SO
that they would have drank clear water
within six months.
IGNORANCE AMONG THE FAsIIIoNABLEs.-
A correspondent of the Cleveland Herald,
writing from Saratoga Springs, gives an illus
tration of supreme ignorance in fashionable
visitor at that place, who wore "dress with
four founces each one costing one hundred
and eighty dollars" which is well calculated
to give sport to the poor but intelligent. She
was in conversation with gentleman of linn
tied accomplishments. The writer says -
she, wishing to show off his extensive read
ing, made some classic allusion to SCOTS
Bride of Lammermoor, when he was inter-
rupted by his fair companion, who innocent
ly inquired with great eagerness, when the
Bride of Lammemoor arrived, and at what
hotel she was stopping"

keg, and saltpetre in proportion, all in conse-
luence Of the European war. f..

Brown, WHOSE SIRNAME Is "JosEPH."-
This individual, who is now the ostensible
editor of the Rice organ in this city, came
near being nominated for the Council by his
friends of Nicollet, Sibley, LeSueur, &c. We
learn the vote stood for c. E. Flandreau, 15;
J. R. Brown, 3. The reason assigned, and
it seems quite probable, why Brown was not
nominated, was because the Convention, sin
gularly enough, neglected previous to ballot
ing for candidate, to pass resolution that
the person receiving the loaoest number of
votes should be the nominee This Brown is
not the "Mr. Brown" who has frequently
been admonished that it would "never do to
give it up So" AS we believe that his mod
esty will prevent him from copying the fol-
lowing paragraph, we feel constrained to
transient to our columns. The last St. Croix
Union, in speaking of the "St. Paul Demo-
Croft" says:
1T affords us unfeigned pleasure to say
that there has been very decided improve
ment in this journal within the last month
or six weeks. 1t is now the best conducted
newspaper in the Territory.-Go it, Brown"
Now when it is recollected that Mr.. Brown
has been absent at Washington for the last
eue weeks, it will be seen how gerry compli-
mentary the Union man is.

A NEW CAMpA1GSER.-We have just re-
ceived the "American Clipper" new cam
paign paper TO be published and edited by
George W. McElroy and Thomas S. Slaugh-
ter, at Lancaster, Ohio. 1t is a spirited sheet,
and advocates the Republican cause with
much spirit. 1t will have an immense circu-
lation in Fairfield and the adjoining counties.
Ohio SAFE Journal.
Mr.. Slaughter helped to commence the
Republican campaign in Minnesota this year
and we are happy to learn that he is back in
Ohio, refuting the foul SANDER of the Medill
press of that State, which charged him with
joining the Administration party in this Ter
ritory.
E The Democracy" of the Benton
Council District have gotten into general
snarl, as appears by letter in the Pioneer
of yesterday. Hon. S. B. Omstead has been
nominated for the Council by the Dave Ohm
sted people, and Lewis Stone by the Rice
ties. Jack Morgan is down, and says that
Olmstead will be elected. Shouldn't Won
der, unless the Republicans do their duty
by putting up some good man of their own
party.
MEANNEss.-One of the Reporters of the
Pioneer, Who'll long since proved himself gross
ly ignorant Of any school-boy's lesson in his
tory-a mere three-penny waif in st. Paul
is aspiring to seat in the Legislature
Consequently, the editor Of that sheet al
lows this reporter of his to write an abusive
personal article and publish it, most basely
slanderous of Mr.. Knauft, our candidate for
the House in the First Ward. Mr.. Knauft
can teach the little "whipper-snapper" the
history of his own country.
MANNY's REArER.-We learn that Nanny
is ha wing manufactured twenty-five of his
Reapers and Mowers for the purpose of ex-
hibitien at the different State Fairs soon to
come off.
e. Saturday evening last, the lightning
struck the house of Mr.. Searles, in the town

to about thirty-one millions of dollars.

ton so necessary in the present state of

late advices from Salt Lake City, and states
that Mr.. Bernheisel will no doubt be re-
elected Delegate to Congress. The editor

The Great DoingS of H. Nj. Rice.

The ST.. Anthony Express keeps at the
head of its columns the great doings of Mr.
Rice in the way of road appropriations. The
Express floods the southern counties with
those numbers containing its high sounding
boastings upon this point, and the people OF
those southern counties are enquiring
What portion of all this road money have
we got? What has been done to bridge the
Cannon, or the Zombro at Orinoco or Ro-
chester, or Root River at Carimona and
other crossings on the great winter mail
route between st. Paul and Dubuque To
come directly to the point, what has Mr..
Rice done for any portion of Minnesota ly-
ing between the Minnesota and Mississippi
rivers 2"
These are meaning questions which the
people of Southern and Western Minnesota
are now asking Mr.. Rice, and he has no an
swer to give save this: II will try and do
something for you if you will only reflect
me; here is twenty dollars take it and go
to work 4" And then Mr.. Rice leaves, sup
posing he has secured vote or two-cer-
tain. -y
He win find his mistake when the ballots
are counted. The people of that region
know what he has done for them, and all he
has done for them. He has given them the
Winnebago Indians to take care of, and forced
an expensive legal quarrel upon that portion
of the people who live upon the Sioux Half
Breed Tract. This is all
