In these times 0! political strife and party
antagonism, there is no fact that deserves
TO b. more constantly kept in mind by the
Democracy in Minnesota than the fact that
the opposition have been permitted to rule in
some Of The states. At the time OF their
TT umph in the Northern and Eastern States
we shared the modification and regret
which every patriotic Democrat felt. But
the temporary Success Of lanaticism. 50

VIVA, truth has been elected more
than any other truth, by the temporary and
sectional success of Republicansm: Obvi-
ously this truth: that the Republican party
cannot govern Americans. II il true that
one part, and that the predomnating ele-
ment in Republcan-m have sworn that

facts, are the people of Minnesota prepared
to put the government Of their new State

or Massachusetts? We know there are
some honest men in that party in Minnesota,
but they are not the men who pull the wires
Of the party; they are not the men upon
whom the party will geek to bestow its IA

villainy which any official Of that party
might be permitted to perpetrate with thu
