We know nothing of Col Ba1stow;S
tame as an orator or writer. Bat his
present residence is St. Cloud, and
we know he has had tho opportunity
Of being well informed about matters
in Minnesota IIe has the appear
ance Of a man Of cool Judgment and
keen observation. He is highly cs-
teG2tisd BY our citizens generally, as
a man Of strictly temperate habits,
and from the clue. the Atlas gives Of
his views Of the North west, we are
persuaded that lis Eastern hearers
may rely implicitly on his Statements
as to oar present resources and future
prospects. ""9 .*..
Ills open denial Of the tales Of ia
/ minehere, show nc lack Of sgldcpen-
! dencc and manliness, as the famine
there appears to be Democratic thun-
der, The German Catholics hold the
| balance Of power in this county,
| They insist upon their right to. CON
tsibutions from abroad, for which the
! Republicans and portion Of the De
mocrats deny the necessity. The
feeling is 50 strong upon the subject
| that Col. Barstow and Mr.. Andrews,
another leading Democratic lawyer,
have seriously impcrsled, if not totally
destroyed their popularity with tleir
party, by protesting agains; the beg
ging missions which have been sent
cut in the name of Stoarns county,
! without the knowledge Of her people.
Thus. we conclude, that Col. Barstow W
is not only observant3 but honest, and
that the people Of the East may
place implicit confidence in his state
