were of all other people on earth the most
patriotic; pandering to their prejudices; try

good American citizens, and teaching them
to look with contempt upon their fellows of

"Fusion" Between buchanan and
rf5s ,3l9, Fillmore.

.f.fN W1OmOT0s
The Courier des Etats Umis is Buchanan pape,
published in the French language in the city
OF New York. In recent number it comes
out boldly with formal proposition for a
union of the Buchanan and Fillmore parties
in New York, on Fillmore, for President, at
the election four weeks hence. Such bar
gain has been limited at for some time, but
the regular party papers have been shy and
meaiy-mouthed about making formal state
ment of their case, and hence the leaking
out, by pure design no doubt, through Ca
tholic paper, printed in foreign language.
The plain proposition is to transfer the Bu-
chanan party, large portion of whom pre-
fess the Catholic faith, bodily to the Know
Nothings, and for the following among other
reasons:
g. At the first glance the idea of such an
alliance may appear impracticable, and we
have all along SO considered it. But neces-
slty has its hard laws, to which the essen
tiai strength OF parties consists in knowing
how to submit. We are far from adopting
the fiattering illusions, which on the heels Of
the Cincinnati Convention promised Mr..
Buchanan an easy and infallible victory. His
partlsans may still affect confidence and
boast that they will certainly have a major
ity, but in their heart they know perfectly
well what turn the campaign is taking:
he Courier then publishes table of the
electoral votes of the States, and says:
" We may affirm, consequently, that in
the actual state of parties, THE DEMOCRACY
is IN THE FACE OF ALMOST CERTAIN DE-
FEAT" - nj. eoi va.
z The article then goes on to show how COM
pletely the whole face of things would be
changed if the Democrats would only sur
render their honor to the Know-Nothings,
by deserving Mr.. Buchanan on the eve of the
battle, and gong over in solid body to Mr..
Fillmore
The love of slavery-extension says
the Galena Advertiser, is doubtless very
strong with great many people, but it
is not strong enough in the state of New
York to force together in effective union, by
the enormous intrigue referred to, two such
parties as the Buchanan Democracy and the
Fillmore Know-Nothings. The plan, if Sc
riously attempted, will be sure to fail.
The New York Tribune remarks upon it ::
We must be allowed, however, to assure
these discouraged gamblers with the honor
and welfare of the country, that this new
trick can never save them. Indeed, we de-
fly them to try it. There is nothing which
they could do previous to the eventful fourth
of November which would SO increase the
numbers of the Republican masses, and so
inspire the rising popular revolution, as the
projected intrigue"
" TO have proposed it proves the despera-
tion of its authors I; by avoiding it's execu-
ton they will best give evidence that discre-
ton has not altogether abandoned their
councils. Our advice is gratuitous let them
be deaf to it if they dare"
To the Democratic party, such surrender
just before the battle would only add deep
disgrace to the defeat which it would newt
ably foreshadow.

The Flag ON the Mountain Peak.

On the 18th of August, 1912, Colonel
Fremont climbed the highest peak of the
Rocky Mountains, towering 3,570 feet, and
planted the stars and stripes upon it's sum-
mit-an act emblematic of that glorious ban
ner being lifted up by the same hand from
the mire in which it has been so long dis
graced by corrupt politicians, and placed
aloft upon the tallest pinnacle of national
dignity and honor, early in November next.
Of that feat we read the following account in
Col. Fremont's Report of his Rocky Noun

in the crevices between the rocks, succeed

The people Of st. Paulcame outin goodly
numbers to the meeting called at the Court
House on Tuesday evening, for the purpose
of giving expression to the feelings of our
community in regard to Kidding the city OF
the horde of gamblers, cut-throats and
thieves that have infested it during the
past few months. The proceedings of the
meeting will be found in another column of

The City Councilwas in session during the
same evening, and in a measure anticipated
the sentiments of the citizens by passing a
strong vagrant ordinance, which those with
out honest and visible means of support may
rest assured will be strictly enforced. =
We noticed during the evening, with much
regret, that our City Marshall man whom
we have heartily supported for that office
every time be has been candidate talked
and acted as though he sympathised with
the outlaw instead of the citizen. In kind
ness, and as old friends, if the Marshal is
AFRAID Of the rowdies, we would advise him
to resign his Office. -...t..

tics, arithmetic, history, geography, music
botany, logic, grammar, and analytical or
biography.
..s The examinations, though rigid, were vel
sustained by the members of the respective
classes.
On Wednesday evening the Students Elk
hibition was held in the chapel of the Uni

gan to assemble, and it was soon evident
that the hall could not contain all who would
come to participate in the literary festivities
of the evening.
We noticed on the stage many members
of the Minnesota Conference of the M. E
Church, and other clergymen, the officers O
the Board.
We have not time, nor have you space, te
allow us to parricularise on the efforts of the
students.
The essays Of the young ladies were vel
written, well read, and well worthy the ap
plause of the appreciative audience.
The young gentlemen, in their origina
declarations reflected much credit upor
themselves and the institution.
As we sat RECALLING ourselves at the lite

ty bring ourselves to believe that we were
away in the Northwest, the exercises o
the evening so reminded us.of the many SINH

himself on his favorite field, the piano. Pro

performer on the p anoforte and organ. s
The large assembly retired at late hour
and Judging from the good attention giver
and from the expression of their counte
nances they were all highly pleased with the

On Thursday evening an address was de-
livered before the Literary Societies of the

How THEY FEEL ABOUT 1.-THE Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune writes as follows on the 9th inst:
There was some gloomy countenances
about Congress to-day, after the Iowa news
of the morning had been digested. The De-
mocracy looked with confidence to a decided
triumph in that quarter, and they take this
sign to be ominous of coming stampede in
the West. The intelligence from Missouri,
too, and that from St. Louis especially, sits
quite badly on their stomachs. After all the
clamor of sectional" strife, the first mem
Der elected to the new Congress from Slave
State is impressed with the odor of Repub-
licanism. Mr.. Blair was denounced as an
Abolitionist of the deepest dye, and the ad-
yocacy of Col. Benton was used to confirm
the charge. Yet be has beaten Mr.. Kenneth
one of the most deservedly popular men in
the district, and a man who stands as high
here, morally and socially, as any other in
Congress. Kentucky appears to have turned
her back upon "our dear Fillmore" though
the promises were abundant of an overwhel-
ming victory. The revolution has begin,
and revolutions never go Backward zsb
