A Proud Defeat.

Whatever may be said of the past or future of
the Republican party, our candidate, John c.
Fremont, must be proud of his constituency. The
nominee of party whose name had not been
whispered IA months ago only year old in the
States where it is best organized only months
old in Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, and
all the Western States, only in embryo in Penn
sylvaaia and New Jersey, he has received more
unanimously the vote of the intelligence andinteg
rity of the American Republic, than any Presi-
dent since Washington. In New York he has
received almost many as both his rivals Ohio
gave him three fourths Of her votes the Western
States gave him tremendous majorities while
New England-we love her better than ever, on
account of her devotion to the True-the land of
the Pilgrims, and the foster mother from whose
breast the Revolution drew it's sustenance, New
England has given him her voice almost to a
man! In such condition of things-when the
Black Democracy has been driven almost from
every citadel in the Free North till it has to lean
upon the uplifting strength of Bondage for its
succor and success-though it has managed, by
Fraud and superior Strategy, to wrench from US
Pennsylvania and Indiana, when Liberty had
almost no expounders-does any one doubt that
we shall sweep the whole undivided North, in the
recurring state elections of 5S and the President
ial of go? Never before, in our country's his
tory, has so young party achieved such wonder
full and brilliant success. And its strength is
growing with its years, and will continue to grow,
till the niger driving, slavery extending, Kan
sas- -subduing, land-stealing Party shall be over
thrown. till the whole North shall be regenerated,
and the time shall come when man everywhere
can walk forth beneath Heavens blessed sun
shine as fearless and free as his Maker made
him. We are ready for another struggle upon
this one unqualified issue, &c No more slavery ex-
tension," and the years to come will certainly
write in History one bright page of Freedoms
triumph!
All Aboard Rail Road from this City to ST. Anthony
We are happy to call the attention of our read
ers to the fact, that mass meeting, of all inter-
ested, will be held at the Office of Messrs Sanborn
French, in this city, on Tuesday, the 25th, to
consider the policy of constructing Rail Road
between this city and st. Anthony. We second
the motion! This is Il most excellent and timely
move, and, we think, not premature. 1t would,
sustaining. The business at present transacted
between these two principal cities of Minnesota,
is, at some season Of the year, very great, and
such road as proposed, would, We doubt not,
meet with an ample patronage for its support.
We have everything else in our go-ahcad terrific
ry now; enterprise, vigor, industry an iron,
energy--let's have an Iron Horse Not for the
qualification of an idle curiosity, or self-aggrand-
isemens before the world, but because we want
it, because to the present it is. or, at least, it
will be to the very near Future, indispensable.
During the last summer there were one hundred
two-horse teams per day, engaged in hauling
merchandise from our levee to st. Anthony, be-
sides the unnumbered other vehles carting from
our various Wholesale Stores4. Let us have the
suggestive mode a practical thing. 1t will pay.
A large number Of gentlemen are waiting and
anxions to take stock in it. We hope and trust
that this call for meeting on Tuesday next, will
be answered by general turnout.
