The Republican Platform.

L. Resolved, That we re- affirm our purpose to
array the moral and political power of Minneso-
tn, whether as IA Territory or a State, on the side
OF freedom and to aid in welding the whole
constitutional force of the federal government
whenever we can, and wherever we can, against
the existence of Slavery.
Resolved, That wherever Slavery nav consti-
futlonally be abolished by the General Govern
nent, there its continuance is a national crime,
Tor which every citizen is responsible so far as
he refuses to exert his influence ior its removal.
.. Resolved, That the perfidious repudiation
NV the South of a solemn compact with the North
whereby the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas
wore forever cOnsecratel to freedom, has absolv-
Gu us from all coInpacts and compromises in re-
iation to slavery outside of the ConstitutOn-we
now demand the restoration of Kansas, Nebraska
anu all other territories to freedom, and solcmny
declare that we never will consent to the acqusi-
ton of another foot of slave territory, nor the
admission of another slave state into the Union,
=. Resolved, That We are in favor Of River
and llarbor improvements whenever they are
clearly of national Importance, whether in the
cast or west, on salt or fresh water.
.. Resolved, That, as representatives of the
Republican party of Minnesota, we regard it as
act against slavery, but take possession of our
Territorial Government, so far as Congress has
left it in our power, and administer it according
TO the principles of practical democracy, by fill
ing all the places of trust with men of personal
merit, in perfect disregard of the wishes of polt-
ica aspirants, and self-constitutcd leaders.
&. Resolved, That invite our fellow citi-
zens throughout the Territory sharing as they
do in rcgad to whatever concerns the interests Of
our infant whatever may be their
views on other questions, to unite with in car
rying out the principles and measures here set
forth and we urge the Importance of Immediate
and universal organization of all the friends of
the Republican movement in their respective pre-
cncts and counties, that they who think alike
may act efcctually together.
:. Resolved, That we believe the Fugitive
Slave Law to be unconstitutional, and that we
demand its unconditional repeal.
s. Resolved, That we regard the traffic of in
toxieating beverages public evil, without
mixture of good; and that Mt our approaching fail
election, we will do what we can to secure the
choice of Legislature which shall enact Il con-
stiutional law suppressng it, and to fill the
county and precinct Offices with men who will en-
force such law.

THE LAND SALES.

NET: AND WHO IS REsPONsIBLE FOR THE ~:
10000" ACRES WHICH ARE oHDI"AD -"
The following letter from gentleman who
recently visited Washington and had access to
tue original documents, shows conclusivcly that
HENRY NJ RICE was the prime mover in
causing the lands 10 be brought into market,
and that the odium Of the act rests upon him
and him alone. We ask the settlers TO read
this letter, and then say if Henry Nj. Rice is
fit man TO represent them in Congress. He
knew full well that the great mass of the SET
tiers did not desire the lands sold, but in order
10 please his particulars friends, the specuii'-
,ors,) he urged the sales, in hopes thereby ''to
feather his own nest" VIII the honest yeo-
lnanrv of Minnesota tolerate such acts Will
they send such man back TO Congress, know
ing, us they do, his two-lacedncss, and his de-
termination to enhance the interests of Wall
street monopolists 10 the delrimento of the actual
settlers! If they do vote for such man, they
vote with their eyes open, and when he has
played them one or two more games, they will
he ready to listen to reason and TO truth. But
read Tie letter.
WAsuINcroN, Sept. 9TH, 1855.
The Chief Clerk of the Interior Depart
ment showed me Mr. Rice's letters on the sale
OF the public lands l have the dog and he
now can't bark. He wrote two letters, (and
only tro before the issuing of the Presidents
proclamaton,) one dated 9th of April, 1855,
AMI the other June 2Sh, 1855, both earnestly
asking the Department IN behalf Of the inter-
ests anil arishes Of his constituents, to bring into
market I'LL the Surveyed lands IN Minnesota,
md IN obedience TO these fro letters, rs | was
informed by the Chief, the Presidents procla-
NATION Was issued. Indeed, such IS endorsed
ON Rice's letters. His letter of the 9th of
April, having taiiei in its object, he wrote
again on the 2Sth of June, referring to that
letter, and again earnestly insisting that the
lands should be Immediately offered at public
.sale-tEat letter also contained printed para
graph, cut out of some St. Paul (he Winona
Argus, we thnk-Ed.) paper, which stated
that all the settlers were most cIan,OrOus for the
sale, sc. The said two letters did not contain
more than twenty lines, and above | have CIV
en- every thing found IN them. .4tfer the Pres
llcnts proclamation WAS published in our Ter
ritory, Mr. Rice did write Il letter or two de-
sirin9 the pos'ponemcnt of the sales, giving for
1t reasons contradictory entirely to those which
caused the President to issue the proclamations
for the sale. Such childish fickleness has rem
dered himi ridiculous before the Departments
fou thus see that he and he only, caused the
Proclamation, and not until forced by the whrl-
wind being about TO ruin him, did he attempt
to undo the wrong which lie had perpetrated
upon his constituents The Government, hay
ing been misled by Mr.. Rice, would noc recall
crvy acre. if it could be done without making
itself ridiculous before the country, after hav-
ing offered all for sale. None but those lands
bordering on the Mississippi, will be sold.'
