Brisbin on LecOmptOnism.

There is no one but must admire the fear
less and outspoken, though characteristic, let
ter of JOHN b. BRIsBIN, Esq, which we copy
from he Pioneer If yesterday morning. lie
emphatically declares his "opposition to the
present National Administration" and says
that his is Gan opposition which admits Of no
COMPROMISED" Ross WILKINsoN's resolutions
have produced one effect: There is no doub,
where JOHN Is. BRIsBIN is to be found on the
Lecompton question. Heis against BUCHAN-
AN to the bitter end. Wat irony and con-
tempt does he xpress when he speaks OF "a
b'aak to be filled with some name as sort of
h locauot to the Sdoel"s0 Of q SHADE Of what
was once supposed to be Democratic Ad
ministrati0n.' II is scarcely Necessary to re-
mind our eaiers that Ma. COBB is this blank
that is to be sacrificed to the names OF the
departed!
When now shall we hear from Gov COR
MAN and the Others on the same ticket This
step of Mr.. BRIsBIN still stronger necessiates
their repuda ion Of the Wilkinson Buchanan
platform. I" Under which King, Henzonan?-

The so-called Democratic and itinerating
Convention of Ramsey County, which met on
Thursday at the Market Hall, at the City
Hall and at the Court House, took good care
TO pass no resolutions, nor whispered a single
word whether the course Of the Administra-
ton was right or wrong on the Kansas Cues
ton or in the Senatorial contest in Illinois.
What cowardly skuiking is this
a party that has no principles. for the pnblic
eye-whch dare not take position upon a
great ma ional Issue, or as between DoUGLAs
AMI BUCHANAN, is unworthy the support of a

Three Tickets In Scott County.

Or friends up in Scott County, have had
no less than three political conventions re-
Gently. The first was the regular Democratic

Douglas-Shieds ticket as follows:
Seuator-Maj"r MuRPHEy ire nominated.)
Representatiues-Dr Or. A. o. RIsLEY, of Sha-

The Chaitield-Buchanan clique seeded
from tue convention, which the Belcpl4ine
EDqtirer styles the Kinds" Convention,
and, controlling the county committee, got
it to ca another Convention to NEE. at Sha
kopee at 10 O'Clock, =. II. OH Saturday last,
the ID Just. This convention met accordingly
an nominated the suhjoined Buchanan
Steele ticket:

Belle Paine Il. NJ. WRIGHT, the Postmast-
er at Shakopee and DAVID KINGHoRN, of
EAGLE Creek. the last being member Of the
late Legislature.
County .4uduor-THoMA II. PIrrs.
On the same day the Republican Conven-

lar Young Republican OF Belle PLANE.

learn.
Couaty .4g3Uor-A. ". ADAMS.
OF the three the Republican ticket is in ma
ter.aI the strongest, and will be elected. Be-

We learn th,t JUDGE HALL, who was last
fall elected Judge of the 4th Judicial District
"a district composed of the counties of Hen
nepin, Carver, Wright, Meeker, Sherburne,
Lac, Itasca, Pembina, Tod, Cass,--has re-
signed, and that the vacancy has been filled
by the acting Governor appointing EDWARD
o. HAMLIN, Esq, of Sank Rapids, as Judge
Of the District.
The Pioneer says that Judge HAMLIN has
resided i'll the State about three years, at
Saull Rapids where he has been engaged in
the practice OF his profession, and in the busl-
ness of banking. He was formerly of Homes
dale, Wayne County, Pennsylvania. He en-
joys very high reputation as lawyer OF
thorough reading and long practice. and as a
ul,.H Of unimpeachab!e integrity"
From all that We have heard of Mr.. HAM
LIN, this praise Of the Pioneer is probably de-
served

Judge HALLS resignation, that "his private

betokens his high descent; ia every limb and

The sheep are of those celebrated species
mentioned above, and were procured at great
expense. The he. fers tn ugh young. are fine
looking animals.
MIR. HOAG certainly deserves credit for
having gone TO such expense in introducing
fine stock into his neghborhood, "a matter
he takes much pride in)-an example we
hope will be followed by the farmers and
stock raisers in other sections of our State.
1t has been cOnclusively demonstrated by cX
permenters in several paris of Minnesota
that sheep do extremely well, yield abundance
Of wool, and thrive heartily. Many have
been deferred from attempting their breeding
by that ridiculous bugbear, 4" the cold III

States there can be 10 doubt Let our far
