1t needs elaborate advertisement to proclaim tae
PRINCIPLES which guide, POLITICALLY, the MINI e.
sotian. 1t is paper that is REPUBLICAN in all lis
phases and it claims to in opposition to Slave
ry everywhere, and in favor of Freedom everywhere
the stest and erect of spinal columns. There is
not the least particle of dough about its face; pa
bty in the of its principles. Its conductors
have sworn eternal hostility every form Of tyranny
over the bodies and minds of men,; and they hesitate
not to give their sentiments through their press
all fit occasions.
But wantt distinctly understood however. that
the Minmesoiam 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 to the triumph
Right against the disciplined cohorts of Despotism
and Democracy We of strict discipline in
ranks. We want people, like the Highanders,
to stand shoulder to shoulder, invincble in their one
of action in the sacred truth of their cause
We don't want bush-fghtng, any man hopping
about amongst the trees, thinking with his little shot
gun he win the battle of freedom his hook.
We have had enough of this folly and it is quite time
Republican mad learned in this respect, wisdom
IIOu the p&bt Iue Oh ltSO oDtalneu al OCCS-
sional success and the commencement of the revo
luton fathers were oil militia but they soon found
that in long fght and with regulars the other side,
they 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 war into independence and rec
osnized nationality Our forces must be disciplined too,
if We intend to win This battle for freedom, like the
contest for liberty they engaged in is also long fight
The Slavepower has exclusively ruled this country fol-
more than quarter of century. 1t will not yield
possession Of any post of vantage it now heds from
its citadel in the Supreme Court Of the United States
down to the smallest pos tmasersp, without prorac-
ted and severe struggle Every of the Republican
party therefore, desires its principles to succeed
enlist for the and be Jealous for thorough
ganzation and complete discipline. Every man who
likes this position, may rely upon the Mnnesotian i'm
plicy, that it will for light trifing causes of
dissatisfaction upon minor points, even side issues
which not minor but not yet practicable, finch
sustaining with all its might those who rally
DER who bear forward the regular standards of the
Party will it encourage by even quiet oleration,
others in disturbingth npact rmness and efficiency
Of orr Anti-SIavery array In word, we beive 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 no.
tons and individual preferences and individual claims,
upon the comm on altar of recognized principles of
Republicanism victory over the veteran par
ty who possess the government and who have
dered every free principle underlying Its foundation to
southern distaon spoils of office and the plum
the treasury. We believe if the soldiers of free
dom tolerated in breaking their ranks to 60
dering after speculative theories of their however
absolutely their theories may be-each following
his of upon impracticable tangents, neglect
ing chances while of eectng great substantial
and acknowledged good in the search after present
unattanable perfecton-the contest of freedom will be
indeed bequeathed children, for it will be
won that way by to the end of pilgrimage
this earth. Unon-dsci:,line- organization-action-
these are the watckwords of in political parties
as in armies and paper the Minnesotian, will Ia
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 WESKLY MINSEsoTIAN will be its NEWS
including original reports of the debates in State
Legislature and in the publication of the latest nelli
gence of evey 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
aesotidns 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 time to time CAL
culated to assist them in developing properly the AGRI
CULTURAL CAPACITY of Minnesota,
These some of the points upon which we ask pub
lcpatronage for the Weekly Mnnesotisn If you like
