SENTINEL FOR THE C%MPAlGN
AND THE CAMPAIGN OF 1850.

We will send the SENTINEL to all those
wishing it during the campaign, commencing
with the issue of our next number and the
nomination Of the Democratic ticket, and
ending with the reception Of the election
returns, for forty cents to each subscriber
for that length Of time.
1t has become settled that the Democratic
party, will carry the State this fall by a
large majority. The adoption of repudia.
ton platform and the nomination Of repu-
diation ticket by the Republicans has rem
dered the complete reputation of tina,
party, inevitable. There will be however a
warm contest, in which many questions OF
great interest will be discussed and settled.
Especially those affecting the future State
policy in regard to the railroads and bank
ing. On which subjects our readers will
bear in mind, the Republican platform is al
together inexplicit. There will also be some
music about the returns sent on. to elect
Ramsey in 1857, and which the Board o,
Canvassers rejected. Which returns are
now in existence, and can be shown to be
entirely fictitious. a.g .
AS there are also two Congressmen to be
elected, tho present national issues, will alse
have to be discussed. We mean the is,,,o,
which it is generally understood divide the
Democratic and Republican parties. Ia w;t
The National measures of 1850 and 1854
Upon which questions, the Republican mart,
OF Minnesota is strangely silent; but still
we suppose tho campaign will be conducted
on these issues. TO be sure the the Repub.
leans will do their. best to ignore the squat.
tor sovereignty question, a they have in
their platform, but they will be held to the
point. 0au.a ="
Neither will our own county matters be
''ninteresting. Since the last election, frauds
and schemes to plunder the people-con.
sidsriny tho amount Of tax raised in this
county-ofa = gigantic naturs-have been de.
tected aud exposed in the ranks Of the Re-
publican cfflce-holders and corruptionists.
These frauds as We shall show during the
campaign, have been but partially uprooted
and are still continued; the parties to them
having been let of, on simply dividing the
plunder, disgorging not one-half they had
stolen. Wsshall show that they arc still
playing tho Same pame. As they will coma ha
fors the people this fall for an endorsement Of
their conduct, We believe that oil, whether
Democrats or Republicans, feel an interest
in having these matters clearly understood,
and on these points the SENrIxEl ~can be
depended upon. It has no interest in COW
ering up these things, and would not if it
had, on the other hand, 1t shall contain
nothing but what can be proved from the re.
cords Of the county. H ,72s.,,
On all these subjects the SENTINEL will
be as usual bold. open and explicit, and
neither fear nor favor shall cause ii to dis.
gu'se ono iota Of The truth. We, therefore,
claim at the hands of our political friends,
and Of all those WHO desire fair statement,
and discussion Of all tho issues before the
peop'e. assistance in increasing tho cir.
culation Of our paper, through Goodhue coun-
~, fully convinced that an enlarged sphere
Of usefulness on our part will by no means
be derogatory to its interests. -
