of the party, We will then write that partys eptaph'
and leave them to bury "Pitch I'M! Il
On perusing the above, besides the hear
ty guffaw with which everybody must ex-
plode at the bantam-like crow thus emitted
by the Times every mind to which the mock
tragedy of Bombastes Furioso is familiar, will
also wildly recall these terrible lines in
which the hero breathes vehement defiance
to all the world who should interfere with the
chosen position occupied by the leather en-
easements OF the said hero's pedal extremties.

mounting emphasis A:

which terrible consequences Of temerity are
not so awful as the fate denounced upon the
Republican party of the Territory and Of the

at the dire consequences impending over
the great, generous, and true hearted Repub-
lican party, in case the Times is provoked to
wrath, and its anger is once fully aroused !!
Upon the discretion of the Minnesotian and
its backers-upon the simple fact of our re-
framing from reading "us'' out of the party

of freemen who maj shall under the Republi-

the forbearance of the Minnesotian rest the
expectations of twenty thousand voters in
Minnesota, who cherish the Republican faith,
and believe that in its teachings are involved
the true principles Of free government, on
it's success depends both white and black
freedom in the great present and in the more
mighty future Is not this fearful respon-

is no intermediate stage in its wrath! The

Cruel aud remorseless Times How can
you contemplate, even in any event, perpe-

of great men, brilliant with talents, ornaments
of their country, whom the carrying out of
your declared particidal intention, will re-
duce to obscurity, and whose towering am
bition of serving the State in high stations,
you will nip as chilling frost, in the very
bud of their darling hopes. There is WIN.
