Saint Paul weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1858-1859, 1858-10-30

1t needs no elaborate advertisement to proclaim the
PRINCIPLES which guide, POLITICALLY, the Mime
sotian. 1t is a paper that is REPUBLICAN in all its
phases and it claims to possess in opposition to Slave
ry everywhere, and in favor of Freedom everywhere
the stest and most erect of spinal columns There
the least particle OF dough about its face; pa-
bty in the back bone of its principles Its conductors
have 'sworn eternal hostility to every form Of tyranny
the bodies and minds of men," and they hesitate
give voice through their press on
all fit occasions.
But wantit distinctly understood, however, that
the Minnesotdn is party paper 1t stands by the Re-
publican organization at all times, because believe
that organization, steadily adhered to and presevered
in is the only hope of the country the triumph
of Right against the disciplined cohorts of Desposm
and DemocIacy We in favor of strict discipline in
our ranks. We want people, like the Highlanders
to stand shoulder to shoulder nvincible in their
of action in the sacred truth of their
We don't want bush-fghting, nor any man hopping
about amongst the trees, thinking with his little shot
gun he win the battle of freedom his own hook
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
siOnal success and at the commencement of the
luton fathers were all militia but they found
that in long fight and with regulars the other sde
they must be regular soldiers too; and everybody has
read how disciplined of the patrols
der Washington who fought this country successfully
through an eight years into independence and rec
ognized nationality Our forces must be disciplined too
if intend win. This battle for freedom, like the
contest for liberty they engaged in, is also long fight
The Save-power has exclusively ruled this country for
than a quarter of century. 1t will not yield
possession of any post of vantage holds from
its citadel in the Supreme Court of the United States
down the smallest postmastershp without protrac-
ted and struggle Every man Of the Republican
party therefore, who desires its principles to succeed
enlist for the and be Jealous for thorough
ganizaton and complete discipline. Every man who
likes this position rely upon the WinnesOtadn im-
plicitly that will for light tring Of
dissatisfaction upon minor points, even side issues
which are but not yet practicable, finch
from sustaining with all its might those who rally
who bear forward the regular standards of the
Party, will it encourage by quiet liberation,
others in disturbing the compact rmness and efficiency
of our Anti-Slavery array. In word, 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
and individual preferences and individual claims,
upon the altar of the recognized principles of
Republcanism, to victory the veteran par
ty who possess the government and who have surren-
dered every principle underlying Its foundation to
southern dietaton the spos of office and the plum
der of the treasury We believe if the soldiers of free
tolerated in breaking their ranks to go maun-
deriDg after speculative theories of their own, however
absolutely correct their theories may be-each following
his off upon impracticabe tangents, neglect
ing the chances meanwhile of eecting great substantial
unattanabe perfecton-the contest of freedom will be
indeed bequeathed to children, for it will be
in that way by to the end of pilgrimage on
this earth. Union-discipne- OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
these, the watchwords of in political parties
as in armies; and our paper, the Minnesotdm will Ia
Dor to have them adopted in practice as the watch
| words of every Republican In Minnesota.
Besides being political paper, the principal
| ture of the WEEKLY MINNEsoTIAN will be its NEWS
including original reports of the debates in the State
Legislature and in the publication of the latest nteli-
gence every kind it will be especial pride be
| first and foremost.
The DEVELOPMENT of the MATERIAL WEALTH
| of MINNESOTA, the EXPOSITION of it's RESOURCES,
| and the DESCRIPTION of its GEOGRAPHY and TO-
BIOGRAPHY will be another main feature of the Mn
nesOtids columns In accordance with its distinctive
name, it is earnest desire to make it truly MIN
| NESOTA PAPER, devoted especially to the welware
and prosperity of our State.
| Nor will LITERATURE and General MISCELLANY
be neglected; and FARMERS may rely on receiving in
formation through columns from time to tme cal
culaed to assist them in developing properly the AGRI
! CULTURAL CAPACITY of Minnesota.
These some of the points upon which ask pub
c patronage the Weekly Minnesotan. If you like
our principles and bill of fare, please step up to the
Captains Office and SETTLE in person by letter. adj
