1t needs elaborate advertisement to proclaim the
PRINCIPLES which guide, POLITICALLY, the Mime
sotian. 1t is paper that is REPUBLICAN in all its
phases, and it CLAIM possess in opposition to Slave
ry everywhere, an3 in favor of Freedom everywhere
the stiest and erect of spinal columns. There is
not the least particle of dough about its face plia
biy in the backbone of its principles Its conductors
sworn eternal hostility to form of tyranny
the bodies and minds of men, and they hesitate
give their voice through their press
! all fit occasions.
But wantit distinctly understood, however, that
the Mnnesotiom is party paper 1t stands by the Re-
publican organization at all times, because we believe
that organization, steadily adhered to and presevered
the only hope of the country the triumph
of Right against the disciplined cohorts of DespOtsm
and Democracy. We in favor of strict discipline in
ranks. We want people, like the Hghlanders,
stand shoulder to shoulder, invincibe 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 no ok.
We have had enough of this foy and is quite time
every Republican had learned in this respect, wisdom
from the past. The militia of 1776 obtained
luton fathers all militia but they found
that in long fight, and with regulars the other side,
they must be regular soldiers too and everybody has
read how it the disciplined forces of the patrols
der Washington fought this country successfully
through eight years into independence and
ognzed nationality. Our forces be disciplined too,
if intend to win. This battle for freedom like the
contest for liberty they engaged in also long fight
The has exclusively ruled this country for
more than quarter of century 1t will not yield
of any post of vantage it now holds from
its citadel in the Supreme Court of the United States
down to the smallest postmastershp without protrac
ted and struggle Every of the Republican
party therefore, who desires its principles to succeed,
enlist for and be jealous for thorough
ganization and complete discipline. Every man who
likes this position may rely upon the MnnesOttdn i'm
pcitly, that will for light triing of
dissatisfaction upon minor points, or even side issues
which not minor but not yet practicable finch
from sustaining with all its might those who rally
der who bear forward the regular standards of the
Party, will it encourage by even quiet oeration,
others in disturbing the compact rmness and efficiency
of our Anti Slavery array. In word, we belve 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
tions and individual preferences and individual claims
upon the altar of the recognized principles OF
Republicansm to ensure victory the veteran par
ty who possess the government and who have surren-
dered every free principle underlying its foundation to
southern detaton for the spOils of Office and the plum
der of the treasury We believe the soldiers of free
dom tolerated in breaking their ranks to go maun
derng after speculative theories of their own, however
absolutely their theories may be-each following
his Off upon impracticable tangents, neglect
ing the chances meanwhile of eectng great substantial
and acknowledged good in the search after present
unattanable perfectionthe 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-dscipline- organization-action-
these the watchwords of in political parties
as in armies; and paper, the Minnesotidm, will la
Dor to have them adopted in practice the watch
words of every Republican In Minnesota.
Besides being political paper the principal fea-
ture of the WEEKLY MINNEsoTIAN will be its NEWS
including original reports of the debates the State
Legislature and in the publication of the latest intei-
gence of eve.y kind it will be especial pride to be
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 Mn
mesotiams columns In accordance with its distinctive
name, it is our 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 receiving in
formation through columns from time time,
culae to assist them in developing properly the AGRI
CULTURAL CAPACITY of Minnesota
These some of the points upon which we ask pub
cpatronage for the Weekly Mnnesotian. If you like
