1t needs elaborate advertisement to proclaim the
PRINCIPLES which guide, POLITICALLY, the Minne-
sotidn. 1t is 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 is
not the least particle Of dough about its face plia-
bity in back bone of its principles Its conductors
have 'sworn eternal hostility every form of tyranny
the bodies and minds of men, !" and they hesitate
not to give their sentiments voice through their
all fit occasions.
But we wantit distinctly understood, however, that
the MnnesOidn is party paper 1t stands by the Re-
publican organization at all times, because we believe
that organization, steadily adhered to and presevered
in the only hope the country to ensure the triumph
of Right against the disciplined cohorts of Despotsm
Democracy. We in favor of strict discipline in
our ranks We want people, like the Highlanders
to stand shoulder shoulder invincble in their
of action as 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 can win the battle of freedom his own hook
We have had enough of this foly and it is quite time
every Republican had learned in this respect wisdom
from the past. The militia of 1776 obtained an occa
sional success and at the commencement of the revo
luton our 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 the disciplined forces of the patrols
der Washington who fought this country successfully
through eight war 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 Slave-power has exclusively ruled this country for
more than quarter of a century. 1t Will not yield
possession of any post of vantage it heds from
its citadel in the Supreme Court of the United States
down to the smallest postmasershp, without prorac-
ted and struggle Every man of the Republican
party therefore, who desires its principles to succeed

ganizaton and complete discipline. Every man who
likes this position may rely upon the Mnnes0tsdn i'm.

which not minor but not yet practicable finch
from sustaining with all its might those who rally I'M
der who bear forward the regular standards of the
Party will it encourage by even quiet liberation
others in disturbing compact rmness and efficiency
of Anti Slavery array. In word, We belive ir
standing by the platforms adopted by Republican State
and National Conventions, and in supporting only and
ill the time the regular nominations made fairly upoI
their platforms. We believe in sacrifice for the tint
being, pending battle at the polls, of individual no
tons and individual preferences and individual claims
upon the altar of the recognized principles
Repubcansm to ensure victory over the veteran par
ty who possess the government and who have surren
dered every free principle underlying its foundation

unatainable perfection-the contest of freedom will

in that way by to the end of our pilgrimage Of
this EARTH Union-discpline- organzaton-action-
these are the wachwords of in political parte
as in armies; and paper, the MnmesOtian, will la
Dor to have them adopted in practice as the watch
words of every Republican In Minnesota.
Besides being political paper the next principal fea
ture of the WEEKLY MINNEsorIAN will be its NEWS
including original reports of the debates in the Stat
Legislature and in the publication of the latest inte

be neglected; and FARMERS may rely receiving il
