The opponents Of the Minnesota and North
Western Railroad Company are circulating
every kind Of report, probable and improbable
in regard to the views and objects OF the Com.
pany. Among others of like character, it is
said ,ha. the surveys were commenced to sub
serve electioneering purposes, and were relin.
pushed Immediately after the election was
over.
The truth is, that the surveys had been de-
cided upon in July, but the protracted absence
Of some Of the officers Of the Company on bu.
siness connected with the Marine Telegraph.
delayed the operations Of the surveys until a
few DAYS before the election, and from that
time the engineers of the Company kept the
field until driven of by the snow. How could
the surreg after the dett'on have any influence
on that election,
Had the Company intended the operations
of their engineers in this Territory as means
to influence the elections. and not for any other
purposr. II is our opinion the heavy expense
attending those operations would have ceased
after the electioulhsd passed.
But all these reports are without foundation,
and so easily disproved merely by yeaeci,on,
that We are surprised that they receive ere
dence or that any person should be so regard.

to impose them upon individuals endowed with

The Governor ana hi. organ

The organ u Saturday in long article from
the pen. VT presume, d the redoatable W'g
Wag himself. wades through divers matters
which be appears to intend as yiDdication Of
the veto message On the Railroad Bill, but in
which we can find nothing that savors OF argu-
ment in favor Of the message except the asser-
ton that facts that were conceded to be true
last year. . are true nov.
Well, We presume this will be deemed by the
resders Of the organ, and they are scattered
through many Of the c6iess Of our local govern
men', as perfectly valid and satisfactory, and
we have no disposition to attempt the bercu-
lean task OF eontroverting the position assumed.
Satisfied with the uncontroyertibility Of the
above argument in favor Of the message, the
organ leaves the subject entirely, and gets into
its usual vein Of low, personal abuse, which is
entirely out OF our line, and for proficiency
in which we accord to the organ supremacy
which could not be tarnisbed by conflict with
the most expert in the tish-markets of New
York. But as the organ has failed to offer all
the arguments 10 favor Of the veto message
which might have BEEN prcseHted, VIC propose
to step to its assistance in this important mat
ter, and present few additional arguments in
favor Of the policy Of the message.
First President appointed Willis A
German to gorsrn The people OF Minnesota, and
in the exercise Of the dutiesof bis Office, it is
incumbent upon him to disregard the will oil
the people. either expressed or implied, and to
make his own will and pleasure the supreme
law Of the Territory.
Second---The individual interests Of the gor'
erno should never be jeopardized by the sane
ton Of any subject for the general good of the
people.
Third--Thc governor being beyond the con
troll of the people, and in no manner responsible
to them, he should not be subjected to the in
convenience Of presenting anything resembling
constitutional grounds for veto, erpedieney
alone aiording sufficient inducements Tor a dis
play Of that power.
Fourth--To govern the people, their repre-.
ssntaf,Uss must be kept under proper subsection
ahd they must be taught not to presume upon
sanctionng any measure not in all respects sat
isfactory to the Governor.
Lastly--The Governor being the representa-
tive here Of the administration Of the central gov
eminent at Washington and that administra
ton being Democratic, il is the duty Of tn
Governor to disregard all local democratic or
ganization in the Territory, that is not undo
his control, and to tonntd hunse.f with the RI
publicans for the purpose Of connecting then, 4
q national party known as the German Dc
mocracy so called il such connection affords
prospect Of sustaining the power Of the loca
administration.

Another veto.

The Governor has vetoed the bill " to define
the boundaries Of certain counties" and gives
Is one reason that one Of the counties is too
small. as another reason that the county sest is

that counties shall not contain less than speci-

has suggested to US that our comments made
some days since. in reference to the Joint Res

holding Of Territorial convention to frame a

NOTICE TO THE AFFLICTED.

Mr. EDITOR :-Sir-It is a duty we owe to the
public. and also Dr. G. II. Tozer, of Sacramento,
that induces us to come before the public with the
statement we are now making.
] see that il is the custom of some Physicians to
advertise their own putfs which read as though you
you yourself had put them in your paper There
five of us that have been under DR.. Tozer's care
for the last fortnight with diseases of an extraordi-
nary nature. One with an old chronic complaint of
some years standing, from which he had given up
all hopes of ever getting cured, for he had employ
ed several Physicians without getting any relief.
He was covered with spots and sores from his ank-
les to his head, and he is happy TO inform the pub
lie that he is now free from every appearance OF
disease and is in better health than he has been for
years
Another of the number came down from the most
northern mines, suffering from what is called Semi
nal weakness. lie had become so weak, he could
not work for loss of memory dimness of sight, &C.,
and he will be happy to speak fol himself; if any
doubt it, he can be seen at the above mentioned
Doctors Office The others were recent complaints
and were perfectly cured in six days and are now
perfectly well and hearty. l myself have been
troubled with disease for the last six months. and
could not get cured in the country and came down
to Sacramento, and am happy to say, am now well
for which shall ever feel grateful, for think Dr.
Us great success is in consequence of his unremlt
ting attention, and can recommend him as the most
iudicous practitioner | ever knew.
