GREAT INDUCEMENTS TO GET UP CLUBS
FOR THE
SAINT PAUL
WEEKLY MINNESOTIAN.

1t needs elaborate advertisement to proclaim the
PRINCIPLES which guide, POLITICALLY the Mime
sOtidn. 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 sest and most erect Of spinal columns There is
not the least particle Of dough about its face; nor pa-
by In the backbone Of Its principles. Its conductors
have sworn eternal hostility to every form of tyranny
over the bodies and minds Of men," and they hesitate
give their sentiments voice through their press on
all fit occasions.
But wantt distinctly understood however, that
the Ntnnesoidn is party paper 1t stands by the Re-
publican organization at all times, because we believe
that organization, steadily adhered to and presevered
is the only hope of the country ensure the triumph
of Right against the disciplined cohorts of Desposm
and Democracy We in favor of strict discipline in
ranks. We want people, like the Highlanders
to stand shoulder to shoulder nvincble in their one
Of action In the sacred truth Of their
We don't want bush-fghting, any man hopping
about amongst the trees, thinking with his little shot
gun he the battle Of freedom on his own no Ok
We have had enough of this folly; and it is quite time
every Republican had learned in this respect wisdom
from the past The militia of 1875 obtained an occa-
sional success and at the of the
luton fathers all militia but they soon found
they must be regular soldiers too and everybody has
how the disciplined forces of the patrols un-
der Washington who fought this country successfully
through eight years into independence and
ognized nationality Our forces be disciplined too
if intend to win This battle for freedom, like the
contest for liberty they engaged in is also long fight
The Savepower has exclusively ruled this country for
more than quarter of century. 1t will not yield
possession of any post of vantage it helds from
its citadel in the Supreme Court of the United States
down to the smallest postmastershp, without protrac
ted and severe struggle. Every of the Republican
party, therefore, who desires its principles to succeed
must enlist for the and be jealous for thorough
ganzation and complete discipline Every man who
likes this position, may rely upon the MnnesOtiam i'm
plicty, that it will for light trifing of
dissatisfaction upon minor points, side issues
which are 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 nor will it encourage by quiet federation,
others in disturbing the compact rmness and efficiency
Of our AntSlavery array. In word, belive in
ding by the platforms adopted by Republican State
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
tons and individual preferences and individual claims
upon the comm altar of the recognized principles of
Repubcansm, to ensure victory the veteran par
ty who possess the government, and who have
dered every free principle underlying its foundation
southern detaton for the pois of office and the plum
der of the treasury We believe if the soldiers of
dom tolerated in breaking their ranks, to go
derpg after speculative theories of their own, however
absolutely their theories may be-each following
his off upon impractcabe tangents, neglect
and acknowledged good liz the search after present
unattainable perfection-he contest of freedom will be
indeed bequeathed to children, for it will be
in that way by to the end of pilgrimage
this earth. Union-discpline- organization-action-
these, the watchwords of in political parties
in armies; and paper, the Mimnesotiam, will Ia
Dor to have them adopted i'll practice 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 State
Legislature in the publication of the latest ntel-
gence of every kind, 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 MIN
nes0tdnS 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 receiving in
formation through columns from time to time CAL
culated to assist them in developing properly the AGRI
CULTURAL CAPACITY of Minnesota
