Saint Paul weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1858-1859, 1858-10-16

It needs no elaborate advertisement proclaim the
PRINCIPLES which guide, POLITICALLY, the Mime
sotian. 1t is 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 stiest and most erect of spinal columns. There is
not the particle Of dough about its face pa-
bty in of its principles Its conductors
have sworn eternal hostility to every form of tyranny
over the bodies and minds of men" and they hesitate
not to give their sentiments through their
| all fit occasions.
But we wantit distinctly understood, however, that
the Mannesoidn party paper 1t stands by the Re-
publican organization at all times, because we believe
that organization steadily adhered to and preseVered
in is the only hope the country to ensure the triumph
Right against the disciplined cohorts Of Despotism
and Democracy. We in favor of strict discipline in
ranks. We want people, like the Highlanders,
to stand shoulder to shoulder invncble in their
of action the sacred truth of their cause
| We don't want bush-fghting, nor any man hopping
amongst trees thinking with his little shot
gun he win the battle of freedom on his own hook
We have had enough of this folly; and it is quite time
every Republican learned in this respect, wisdom
from the past The militia of 1776 obtained an occa-
sonal success and at the commencement of the revo-
luton all militia but they soon found
that in long fight and with regulars on the other sde
they be regular soldiers too; and everybody has
read how it was the disciplined forces of the patrols I'M
der Washington fought this country successfully
through eight years into independence and rec
ognzed nationality Our must be disciplined too,
if we intend to win. This battle for freedom IKE the
liberty they engaged in is also long tight.
The exclusively ruled this country for
more than quarter of a century. 1t Will not yieio
possession of any post of vantage now holds from
its citadel Supreme Court of the United states
the smallest postmastershp, without protrac-
ted and struggle. Every man OF the Republican
party therefore, desires its principles to succeed
must enlist for the war and be Jealous for thorough
| ganization and complete discipline. Every man who
likes this position, may rely upon the Minnesotsdn i'm
plictly that will for light tring causes Of
upon minor points, even side issues
which are not minor but not yet practicable, finch
from sustaining with all its might those who rally un
der who bear forward the regular standards of the
Party nor will it encourage by quiet liberation
others in disturbing the compact rmness and efficiency
| of Anti Slavery array. In word, we bellve IL
standing by the platforms adopted by Republican STATE
and National Conventions and in supporting only ant
all the time the regular nominations made fairly upol
their platforms. We believe in sacrifice for the tim
being pending battle at the polls of individual no
tons and individual preferences and individual claims
upon the common altar of the recognized principles
Republicanism victory the veteran par
W
ered every free principle underlying its foundation
southern dstation the spois of office and the plum
der treasury We believe if the soldiers of free
dom tolerated in breaking their ranks to 60 maur
erpg speculative theories of their own, howeve
absolutely correct their theories may be-each ollown
his own Off upon mpracticable tangents, neglect
ing the chances meanwhile of efectng great substant,
and acknowledged good in the search after preser
unattanabe perfectonthec contest of freedom will
indeed bequeathed to Children for it will never
won in that way by the end of pilgrimage
" this earth. Union-disc, pine organizaton-action-
these are watchwords of in political partt
as in armies; and paper, the Mnnesotidn, will |;
Dor to have them adopted in practice as the watci
words of every Republican In Minnesota.
Besides being political paper the next principafe
ture of the WEEKLY MINNEsorIAN will be its NEWS
