Gov. Ramsey and Hon. J. w. North
Their Position In the Loan Bill.

Mr. BALCoMBE in his letter defending the
"stop-my paper" card of himself and the 9TH
er Winona " erasives," takes the liberty Of
using the names OF several honest gentlemen
and Republicans who are minority members
in the Boards of Directors of the four Rail-
road Companies.
One of these is Governor RAMSEY, who is
unfortunate enough to be nominally Direc-
tor in the Minnesota and Pacific Road
with about as much power to control its af-
fairs as Mr.. BALCoMBE would James Buchan-
ans administration, and against whom at the
late election The entire influence of its officers
and the money of the company were unscru-
pulously used by means of mock Railroads
and mock right-of-way agents electioneering
for SHELLEY at ten dollars per day.
Gov. RAMSEY is now absent in the East );
but if it will do Mr.. BALcoMBE any good, we
can tell him, that before his departure We
learned that the Ex-Governor's fears of the
tendency of the proposed bill to concentrate
political power in unfit hands, wer, as lively
as our own and that he earnestly deprecated
its passage as q measure premature, as to
time-unsound on general principles--and
likely to impose grevous burden of taza-
ton upon the people of the State! He had
no confidence in the "net profits as re-
source to pay interest with !; nor in the posi-
bility Of there being any sufficient security Of
fered, to guarantee the State from present, il
not ultimate, loss. These being his senti-
ments, we confidently believe if he was here
he would stand With the Minnesetian in toto
against this project, the spawn of the Wis
consin forty thieves and their pals here in
Minnesota.
The name of the Hon. JOHN w. NORTH.
Of Rice County, a Director in the Cedar Val
ley r. R., has also been used, to prop infer
!. entially Mr.. BALCONIES position. We feel
authorized to say of him likewise, that from
xsonversation we had with him two or three
weeks since, we knOw him to be opposed te
this Whole scheme and that he coincide
fully with Governor RAMSEY in the view
above expressed.
Amongst the few Republican Directors il
the Railroads whose names Mr.. BALCoMB
hss gwen, there are doubtless others, VIII
sbhor the project, but We do not know then
and cannot vouch for their opinions.
-3utas to the position OF Gov. RAMsE,
and Mr.. NoRrH there is no mistaHe-it i
against the Monster Bill .......

A Missouri SpuRGEoN.-During a late
revival in the Baptist Church at Lagrange, .
lad IL years old, who had acquired some no.
toriety in the town as theatrical performer,
joined the church and prepared himself for
the ministry. He has recently been licensed,
and has entered on his clerical duties and so
wonderful are his powers, that the whole COM
munity are in ecstacies with bis efforts. When
he breaches, the church is crowded; persons
from all the country round about flock to
hear him, and the old veterans declare that
they never before listened to such thrilling
eloquence. The name Of the "boy- preacher

Position of Gov. Ramsey ON the Loan
Bill.


Position of Gov. Ramsey ON the Loan
~ Bill.
As the Minnesotian has taken the liberty to define the
position Of Gov Ramsey the Loan Bill and to assert
that he Ramsey
earnestly deprecated its passage measure prema
ure, as to time-unsound on general principles-and
likely to impose grevous burden Of tdcdiOn upon the
people Of the State Pr ......i-. -..tt..i l-..t
take the liberty to say that Gov. Ramsey told US,
and told Others that he in favor Of the measure
save ushat in view Of the present financial revuson
1t was the thing to attract immigration to shores and
set in motion the wheels of prosperity Perhaps Mr.!
Ramsey Is blowing hot and cold perhaps the Miune-
sotan represents him. We shall see.
As to Mr.. North we know nothing of his views, but
hazard the assertion that he favors the Bill by
the Senate and will give his support. Time will show.
AS we wish to deal fairly by the Times, and
give it the benefit Of its little say even if it
don't amount to much. We copy the above
from that papers issue of yesterday morn
ing the 9th. We do not believe that Gov
RAMSEY ever told the editor or editors of
that paper, any such thing. The public will
be very apt to give the conductors of the
Mimnesotian credit for being most likely to be
acquainted with Gov. RAMsEY's sentiments on
this question and we know that they will
award to the Times assertions of any fact in
opposition to our statements, the usual dis.
credit which for its regeneration and hypoc-
risy and recklessness of truth, have general
ly been its award. The Times in its new task
of killing off the Republican party that it
may write its "epitaph" and "leave" the
.Ninnesotian "to bury it, "insinuates that Gov.
RAMSEY sis blowing hot and cold" ON this
question; or, in other words, is carrying two
faces. We expected it would come to this
before long, when early in this fight the Times
commemorate Notwithstanding his dishonor-
able protest to the State Canvassers against
Counting over 5000 Of the peoples honestly
cast votes) -endorsing the honorable" Mr..
SHELLEY as one to be equally confided in, to
hold these Railroad companies up to their
work if the Loan Bill passed, with Gov. Ram.
sEY. Mr. SiBLEY being himself a Director in
one of the Companies-indebted to another
for skull-duggery in aid Of his election-it is
very likely he will be very tenacious in check
ing the thieving prepensities ofthese Railroad
compauies-o yes-vssy likely but the
Tsmeswe see intends to make it's '.leaving" 1
gradual thing-prepares the way by degrees
and little by little for its becoming exclusively
the organ Of the new Plumber Party! The
next thing, it will be out abusing openly,
where it now only sneers at, the Republican
candidate for Governor defending and apol-
ogising openly for Mr.. SHELLEY where it now
only insinuates his defence.

Hear Sir Oracle!

The editor of the st. Anthony Nsus hav-
ing spoken out boldly in disapprobation of
the attempt of the Winona delegation to
crush out the independence of the Minmeso-
tian, he has excited thereby the ire of the
tin-paa, in the following style: .s .....,4 /
The editor of the Neacs certainly must have known
the motives which actuated the Winona gentlemen He
knew that their course was dictated by their oppo
ston views to the Ainnesotian the Loan Bill, but
by the personal illusions made by that paper and the
studied effort of the editor to draw party lines on
great State improvement Question. He have read

There is something SO refreshingly and jol
lily green about that last sentence, that if we
didn't know it was the Times, we should as
cribe it to some Emerald son of the green

have read the card Of Mr.. BALcoMBE And

the real reasons for the course were plainly
set forth"-the famous "epitaph" editorial

Mr.. BEARCE about the same time the Mime.

perhaps you recollected the .Minnesotian had
never been personal" at all-except in IA
vorab!e style-upon Messrs. BALcoMBE, S. R.
JOHNSON or Mr.. MANLY GRovER-yet, be-
holding them all uniting in "card" to crush
US for what we said upon the Loan Bill, you
naturally thought our opposition to great
State debt and State taxation formed the
main animus for the deed! Pay more heed,

We can easily comprehend the acute alarm
which filled the hearts of the Democratic
leaders-the fainting of heart, and the quak-
ing of knees-at the prospect of Congress

Nor we're we surprised, that in so momen-

Of the Legislature were forthwith assembled
together in caucus, as we learn was the fact /;
nor that this caucus speedily arrived at the
decision, which has produced the action at

We understand that the reasons given by
the Caucus here to the Congressman, why
they should in this gambling manner thus
quietly settle the question amongst them

culiar!
They were told it wasn't safe to risk an
election; that the people couldn't be trusted
to do it over again; that defeat under the ex-

dreaded; that unless this course was deter
mined upon, the Democratic party would 60
