1t needs no elaborate advertisement to proclaim the
PRINCIPLES which guide, POLITICALLY, the Minnie
sotidn. It's paper that is REPUBLICAN in all its
phases and claims to possess in opposition to Slave
ry everywhere, and in favor of Freedom everywhere
the stes and most erect Of spinal columns There is
the least particle OF dough about its face nor pa-
by in the backbone of its principles Its conductors
have sworn eternal hostility to every form of tyranny
the bodies and minds of men," and they hesitate
not give their sentiments voice through their press on
all fit occasions.
But we wantit distinctly understood however, that
the Mmmesatian is party paper 1t stands by the Re-
publican organization at all times, because we believe
that organization steadily adhered to and presevered
in only hope of the country ensure the triumph
of Right against the disciplined cohorts of Despotsm
and Democracy. Weare in favor of strict discipline in
our ranks We want our people, like the Highlanders
to stand shoulder to shoulder nvincble their
Of action, in the sacred truth of their cause
We don't want bush-fghting, nor any hopping
about amongst the trees thinking with his little shot
gun he can win battle of freedom on his own ho ok
We have had enough of this folly; and it is quite time
every Republican had learned in this respect wisdom
from the past. The militia of 1776 obtained an occa-
sona success, and at the of the revo.
luton fathers all militia but they soon found
that in long fight, and with regulars the other side,
they must be regular soldiers too and everybody has
read how the disciplined forces of the patrols
der Washington who fought this country successfully
through eight years into independence and rec
ognzed nationality Our forces must be disciplined too,
if intend to win. This battle for freedom like the
contest for liberty they engaged in, is also long fight.
The Slave-power has exclusively ruled this country for
a N q ma ter Of q III will Of u;oId
possession of any post of vantage it hclds from
its citadel in the Supreme Court of the United States
down to the smallest postmasershp without
ted and struggle. Every of the Republican
party therefore, who desires its principles to succeed
must enlist for the and be jealous for thorough or.
ganzation and complete discipline. Every man who
likes this position, may rely upon the Minnesotiap i'm
plicty that it will never for light trng of
dissatisfaction upon minor points, side issues
which are not minor but are not yet practicable, finch
from sustaining with all its might those who rally
DER who bear forward the regular standards of the
Party, nor will 1t encourage by quiet federation,
others in disturbing the compact rmness and efficiency
of our Anti Slavery array. In word, we belive in
standing by the platforms adopted by Republican State
and National Conventions and in supporting only and
all the time the regular nominations made fairly upon
their platforms. We believe in sacrifice for the time
being pending battle at the polls, of individual no.
tions ana individual preferences and individual claims
upon the comm altar of the recognized principles
Republcanism to victory the veteran par
ty who possess the government and who have
dered every free principle underlying foundation
southern dietaton for the spois of office and the plum
der of the treasury. We believe if the soldiers
dom tolerated in breaking their ranks, go
derpg after speculative theories of their own however
absolutely their theories may be-each following
his off upon impractcable tangents, neglect
ing the chances meanwhile of eectng great substantial
and acknowledged good in the search after presen
unattanable perfection-the contest of freedom will
indeed bequeathed to children, for it will b.
won in that way by to the end of pilgrimage
this earth. Union-discpine- organization-action-
these the watchwords of success in political parte
as in armies; and our paper, the Minnesotdm, will Ia
Dor to have them adopted in practice the watch
words of every Republican In Minnesota.
Besides being political paper, the next prncipalfe
ture of the WEEKLY MINSEsoTIAN will be its NEWS
including original reports of the debates in the Stat
Legislature and in the publication of the latest nelli
gence of evey kind, it will be especial pride b.
first and foremost
| The DEVELOPMENT of the MATERIAL WEALTH
/ of MINNESOTA, the EXPOSITION of its RESOURCES
and the DESCRIPTION of its GEOGRAPHY and TO
BIOGRAPHY, will be another main feature of the Min
mesOtidn's columns In accordance with its distinctive
name, it is earnest desire to make it truly MIN
NESOTA PAPER, devoted especially to the welwar
and prosperity of our State.
Nor will LITERATURE and General MISCELLANY
be neglected; and FARMERS may rely receiving in
formation through columns from time time, cal
cuated to assist them in developing properly the AGRI
CULTURAL CAPACITY of Minnesota.
These some of the points upon which ask pub
icpatronage for the Weekly Mnnesotian. If you k,
