EIec,ea Governor of the STATE OF
yr,,uasot, 90. shout Republicans
Shout!
To-day, we feel authorised to say, that
tbore ;s no lonrer doubt. who is the Govern
or elect of our future State and that ALhA-
A\DER RAMSEY is the man by small
though decisive and sufficient majority.
In announcing this glorious result, which
will send thrill of rejoicing on every teie-
graph wire to every Republican neighborhood
in the Union, we take some credit to the Re-
publicans of Minnesota for the gallant man
ner in which, under the most disadvantage
GUS circumstances, they have thus early IN
their progress, reached so triumphant re-
suit.
Never before, in the history of our Terri
tories. has the Democratic party failed to
control completely their political inausura-
ton into the Union.
To emancipate themselves from its thrall,
took Wisconsin, and Iowa and Michigan at
ter their admission into the Union eight and
ten years of hard battling. But Minnesota,
youngest of the sisters, waves the Republi-
can flag on the very Threshold of the ma
tional mansion, as she makes the air resound
with her knockugs at the door for entrance
And this triumph has been won, also,
under adverse and discouraging circumstan-
ces.j
The federal administration being in the
hands of our opponents, its swarms of office
holders of every kind formed disciplined
cohort, who drew from the public treasury
the sinews of war, and stopped at the per-
petration of no fraud they thought necessary
for their success.
A large portion of the Indian tribes Of the
Territory, in violation Of pIopriety and of the
Constitution have been made to cast ballots
against us. Double and treble voting was
resorted to by them in every locality where
it was practicable and voters were colonized
from Wisconsin under the ten day clause, to
bear down the Republican candidates.
But it all did not avail-the unbought peo-
pie have come up to the rescue, and ALEX
AMBER RAMSEY is Governor of Minnesota!
While men and money, and sympathy
and encouragement has been showered
literally here in favor of the Democra-
cy by its friends from Maine to Washington,
the Republicans of Minnesota have had the
modification of receiving neither from the
Republicans of the Union.
Not by one dollar of money have they aid
ed US in the combat just past-not by send
iiS US single public speakcr-not by even
the voice CT encouragement. have they
strengthened cur hands.
ALI eyes, all ears, all aid of every kind,
appears to have been reserved exclusively for
Kansas-as if here in the Northwest, here
in Minnesota-there was not a greater state
than Kansas-the young lion of the Union,
struggling in the tolls of the hunters, and re-
ceiying no help.
Ii we have failed to elect majority Of the
State Legislature, which is yet in doubt-if
the balance of the State Ticket, except Gov
ernor, has been defeated by the Indian and
fraudulent votes, we shall charge good por-
ton of the blame, to the indifference, so far
as actions are concerned, of our Eastern
friends as 20 whether we succeeded or not, in
the contest just closed and the New York
Tribune may take portion of it on its own
shoulders, as the great national organ of the
party, for the inefficient and spiritess man.
ner, its 5000 weekly subscribers in Elm.
nesota were rallied to the contest.
Move have to thank none bat God
and our principles and our right arms-for
whatever of Victory the Republicans of Min
nesota have achieved! One year more of
immigration, would have put it out of the
power Of all the double-voting Irish-all the
breechclouted Indians--all the knavish Of
flee holders of the Territory, to render our
success doubtful, on any portion of our ticket
for one instant of time.
In conclusion, all we have to say is, shout
RenubEc. Us {. shout three cheers for Gov-
ernor Ramse,r and the gallant true hearted
