1t needs no elaborate advertisement to proclaim the
PRINCIPLES which guide, POLITICALLY, the Mime
sotidn. 1t is paper that is REPUBLICAN in all its
phases and it claims to possess in opposition to Slave
~ everywhere, and in favor of Freedom everywhere
the stiest and most erect of spinal columns. There is
not the least particle OF dough about its pia
bity 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
not to give their sentiments voice through their press
all fit occasions.
But wantit distinctly understood, however, that
the Winnesotidn 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 Of the country to the triumph
of Right against the disciplined cohorts of Despotsm
and Democracy. We in favor Of strict discipline
our ranks. We want people, like the Hghlanders,
to stand shoulder to shoulder, invncibe in their
of action, in the sacred truth of their cause
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 no
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 1776 obtained an occa-
sional success and at the commencement of the
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 it the disciplined forces of the patrols
der Washington who fought this country successfully
through eight years war into independence and rec
ognzed 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 Slavepower has exclusively ruled this country
more than quarter of a century. 1t will not yield
possession of any post of vantage it now helds from
its citadel in the Supreme Court of the United States
down to the smallest posmastership, without prorac
ted and severe struggle. Every of the Republican
party therefore, who desires its principles succeed
must enlist for the and be jealous for thorough
ganization and complete discipline. Every man who
likes this position, may rely upon the Mnnesotidn i'm
pcitly 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 or who bear forward the regular standards of the
Party' nor will 1t encourage by even quiet toeration
others in disturbing the compact rmness and efficiency
of Anti-Slavery array. In word, we belive 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
tons and individual preferences and individual claims
upon the altar of the recognized principles Of
Republicansm to victory the veteran par

these the watchwOrds of success in political parties
as in armies; and paper the Mnnesotidn, 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 MINNEsoTIAN will be its NEWS
including original reports of the debates in the State
Legislature and in the publication of the latest inte-
sence of evey kind, it will be our especial pride to be

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
nes0tidn's 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 from time to time cal
cuated to assist them in developing properly the AGRI.
