The President and the Constitution.

If confederation of sovereign States acquire new
territory at the expense of their common blood and
treasure, surely set Of the parties have right
to exclude the other from its enjoyment by prohibiting
them taking into 1t whatsoever is recognized to be the
property sr by common constitution n'"-S4e"ana"'' Le'
The assumption is that slaves are regarded
as property by the Constitution. But this is
utterly denied as gross and mortal libel on
that instrument, and it must be resisted to
the last extremity. There is not word in
it capable of any such construction. 1t is
claimed as referring to slaves in but three or
FOUR instances-representati fugitives, tax
alton and importation, and in all as persons"
Representation does not imply property, for
the Constitution utterly rejects property as
basis of representation. Hence if they are
property in that instrument representation
on that basis must fall. The fugitive clause
relates only to "persons" held by law to work
Does that make slaves "Importation" and
Emigration" do not imply slavery, but may
apply to all persons alike. Taxation does
not imply slavery, for all are taxed. Yet
this is every vestige of justification for this
unblushing assault on our national character,
obligations, and destiny On such aud acious
pretenses that plague must be taken to our bo-

American people can be seduced into the
adoption of such principles even to escape

RED WING, Sept. 90, 1857

KED WING, sept. ZZ 1891.
Mr.. EDITOR The Republicans of Good
hue county met in Convention at tRED WING,
on the 18th inst, and the following ticket
was nominated:
For 'Senator-Aaron G.. Hudson of Flor
ence.
Representatices-HenryL L. Bevans, Charles
w. Libby, Joseph Peckham, Henry Sands.
Por County Commissioner-M. S. Chand-
ler of Pine Island.
County Clerk-J. Going.
County ITeGsure,-T. f. TOwne.
.4ssessorS-Henry Phillips, L. A. Felt and
Alpheus Hall.
Comfy Surpeyor-James G.. Dow.
There were large number of delegates
present, and great enthusiasm prevaiied.-
Hon. Charles Mcclure and r. N. McLaren,
Esq, made ableand eloquent speeches in the
Convention. "Old Goodhue" will give a
Republican majority that will astonish the
natives. There is already difficulty in the
Democratic ranks. Certain ambitious office
seekers who belong to the "unterrifed," )" think
that they have not been duly rewarded for
their services, and consequently there is a
"row in the camp" Ex-Gov. German spoke
here few evenings since. 1t is predicted
that he made at least fifty Republican votes.

Another Demonstration.

The Republican Club of this county held
their meeting at the Public Forum on Satur-
day evening. The President, L. A. BABcocK,
Esq, called the meeting to order at o'clock,
and after thanking the members Of the Club
for having, during his absence, elected him
their permanent President, introduced SAM.
BEMAN, Esq, of Winona.
Mr.. B. was received with enthusiasm. His
reputation as popular stump orator had al
ready preceded him. Numbers of the De-
mocracy were on hand to hear, as they ex-
pressed it, what the "little cuss" could say.
We have neither the time nor room to give
sketch Of his remarks but it will suffice us
to say that his reputation for most effective
stump orator was fully sustained. His allu-
sion to Henry Clay and the memorable cam
paign of 1874, wherein the speaker had borne
the Wing banner throughout that exciting can
vass in the state of Alabama, created decided
sensation in that part of the audience who
were live Wings
Mr.. B. having been Georgian by birth,
and for many years citizen of Alabama, rem
dered his views of the blighting curse of
Slavery, and its baneful effect on the poor
white laborer, of peculiar force. He showed
most conclusively that Slave labor was mimi
cal to free labor, and that the Democratic
party being committed to the upholding and
extension of Slavery was opposed to the best
interests of the laboring man.
His speech occupied nearly two hours, and
enchained the attention of every auditor
His points produced the most telling effect,
and when he closed, his audience, which had
increased in numbers during the whole time,
were 10th to go home.

Territorial Liberty.

Mr.. Buchanan for himself and party afirms
that slaves are regarded in the constitution
as "property," to which all the rights of
property inhere; consequently the nation
must take upon itself, foster and extend that
whole system of tyranny, blacker with guilt
and shame than any other ever seen in hu-
man society. This is ''democracy"! This ic
'saving the Unon''! For this the people are
called on to vote!
We meet all this with the assertion that
the Constitution, which, its administrators have
sworn in the name of the Almighty to sup
port, requires directly the opposite, and that
the real question raised in this issue is one of
Perjury. Briefly let us see.
The Constitution is the organic law of
limited government distinct from all others,
state or municipal. 1t has it's own field of
jurisdiction, and its own sworn administrators.
What now does it say on the question of lib
erty or slavery in territories That Congress
shall govern them, making all their ''needful
rules" This is absolute. And if law of
liberty is "needful" in human society, con-
gress has sworn to make it. There is no
lodging here. "All needful rules" or PERU
ry. What else?
That Constitution says to Congress, to all
its administrators, to the people and to man.
kind, "Within my whole jurisdiction no per-
son shall be deprived of life, liberty or prop
erty' unjustly. The People shall be secure
in their persons houses and effects" And
the old Hgis of English liberty, the habeas
corpus and the jury, shall stand as guardian
angels forever around the inalienable rights
of the people. There shall be no partiality
and no distinction. For the defense of the
poorest, the feeblest form Of humanity that
cries out for wrong within my jurisdiction ev-
cry sword and bayonet in the land if need
be shall rush like lightning from the clio uds"
In the ears of oppressors and assassins it ut
ters the solemn Will of the nation. THE
PEOPLE SHALL BE SECURE! 10 this
Constitution Presidents, courts, cabinets
all have lifted up their hands and sworn, $50
help me God"
And this Mr.. Buchanan must carry out, or
stand pcrjured before heaven and earth -
This congress must see executed or bring
home the guilt Of perjury upon their souls-
This the People must sustain by their ballots
or trample their own constitution in the dust,
and bring upon their country the execrations
of mankind and the curse of the Almighty.
This is the Republican position, the doc
trine of justice, of peace, Of honor and of
national welfare. We challenge its scrutiny,
and urge its unwavering support.

AWNING PosTs.-We observe in many pla-
ces that where the sidewalks have been wild
ened, the awning posts are left almost in the
middle, to impede travel. This is wrong
the rickety, low wooden sheds, extending over
the sidewalks, are nuisances. In many cities
they are not allowed at all, unless suspended
from the building, instead of built against it
Would it not be we'll to enforce such an Or
dinance here? The awnings can be suspend
ed or projected from the buildings. 1t would
make the street look 100 per cent better, al
most, and the awning posts would not be in
the way ON the streets.
Another suggestion, which we see advanc.
ed also by our contemporaries, Some mer.
chants, principally clothing dealers, are in the
habit of suspending from these sheds, store
full of goods, which obstruct travel, Tapping
in every ones face. This is wrong. If you
want people to know you have goods, adver-
tise,-not make them notice them by thrust.
ing them in the face and eyes of the commu-
nifty as it passes by your doors.

The Great DANGER.

We warn the Republicans all over the Ter
rlty to beware of the idea Of an easy success
at the approaching election. We can beat
the servie opposition, we have the votes
and they know it. But that by no means
ensures success, Defective organization, in.
difference, absence from the polls-these and
many other causes often defeat clear maiori-
ties, and without great effort they will defeat
US.
1t has been apparent all the season that
too much confidence is placed in the spring
election. 1t seems to be inferred that our
ascendancy is matter of course. We till
you, freemen, if this opinion prevails we
are certainly defeated The slave power will
not give up this Territory without far Sc
verer struggle, and throughout its dark re-
gions there is intense anxiety that its allies
succeed in October. If they fail it will be
after such a contest as was never seen here.
We must hare the last rote in the TER. tory !!
And this cannot be secured without a systena.
attic energy like that of Bonaparte's police and
each man must act his part with the unity
and efficiency of drilled grenadiers.
Organizations must be perfected in every
county, and in eoery precinct.
Every free voter must be found Whether
scattered over our vast and almost trackless
prairies, or in our timber and forests, they
must be found, informed if necessary, and
their attendance at the polls made certam.-
Systematic action alone can ensure this.
Every candid man hitherto in the opposi-
ton must be enlightened, and kindly but
earnestly entreated to vote for liberty. We
are constantly receiving the accession of such
new men, and by proper effort they may be
increased to thousands.
Frequent meetings must be held in every
precinct and neighborhood to encourage re-
port progress and take counsel. Proper
reading must be placed in the hands of every
man who will read.
But above all other agencies is the One
Man Power, the influence of man upon man.
-neighbor upon neighbor. And zeal is nev-
er up to the point of success in close contests
till the body of the party is thus brought in
to action by its own inherent, sacrificing i'm.
pulse. If ecery man will VOW, WE WILL,
all is safe. The flag of Freedom will wave
triumphantly over the very cradle of Mime
sofa, and dismay be the reward of tyrants
Minnesotians will you do it?

REPUBLICANS! Remember how soon the
18th of October will be upon you. Count
the days, and do not have to say after the
election, had done this or that-or seen
that man who was not .at the polls, or who
voted wrong, it might have changed result
in favor of liberty.
Remember that ONE VOTE may decide
the election of Governor, all our Represen-
tativcs to Congress, the character of our
Legislature, our two Senators, and our posi-
ton as a State, on the side of Slavery or
Liberty.
Long time in even scale the battle hnng,"
and it may be the glorious destiny of Mime
sofa to turn it for Freedom forever!
Remember that the Slave Power and its
Allies have their eye on 1860, when our elec-
toral vote may decide the next Preside ntial
contest. If we win now, we win then and
that ONE VOTE may do it.
Remember our scattered population, our
limited means of circulating intelligence, the
difficulty often of getting to the polls, the
indifference of too many to their duty, and
the infinite number of falsehoods to be refut
ed. The Times thus gives the stirring
note:
"The election just at hand, Republicans
should receive your earnest efforts. 1t is ar
election, not envolving simply local questions
but it is an election which will affect the DO
litical complexion of our whole country. Are
you aware that if Minnesota sends two Re-
publican Senators to the United States Sen
ate, and Kansas two, and Washington Terri
tory two, that henceforth and forever Free
dom triumphs? Are you..aware that the Free
State men of Kansas are waiting anxiously
to hear from the Republicans of Minnesota
ard that If zoe are successful it will impel
them forward in their good work? Are you
aware that the leading Republicans and the
leading Democrats in the States, admit that
our election is the most important that has
taken place for years9 Do you also know
that the Administration at Washington have
made arrangements to import a large number
of voters into this Territory just before elec-
tion? These are facts and they should influ-
ence you to strike boldly for the success of
our ticket, and for the success of the great
and noble cause which is dear to every true
lover of Liberty"
