cello, about one hundred men from Rock,
ford, the place of his residence and OF the
execution Of J AoKsoy, came ii, released
him and took him away. Whereupon Gov
[s1BLEY ordered outsthe State Militia two
hundred strong dissent them, ii hot haste
Ito Rockford. He did not take time to
furnish provisions for the campaign, and
the people Of Wright County did not exert
themselves much to feed the Governor
soldiers, 50 they beat a retreat, crossed
over to sherbourne County, encamped, and
sent to St. Paul for cooking stoves and
something to cook. At the time Of wrl-
ting this the 9th they are setting up their
stoves, and getting ready to make them
selves comfortable. 5ss
The interference Of the Governor is no
doubt illegal. The authorities Of Wright
county did not call upon him for aid, but.
have proposed to arrest and try these men
if the St. Paul people will stay at home
The rescuers Of 'MooRE gave as a reason
the presence Of officers from st. Paul sent
there in violation of law to act in their: of.
fetal capacity where, of course they had
no authority. <2:% sSsi5t3'a Gf.>] <&*>5
Should the soldiers return and take any
airs the Wright county people will no
doubt arrest the officers for disturbing
the peace. - 5T, %.S:.. 81 9'.t*.
The people Of Rockford hung JACKSON
illegally, but nothing has transpired to
show that it was done unyustly, if capital
punishment can ever be- justified. True
they were not legally constituted cxecu-
tive; but neither is Governor Sibley.-
There is nothing at present strictly legal
in Minnesota that we know Of; and it will
be time enough to hold the people to
strictly. legal rules Of proceeding when we
have q legal government. The people of
Wright county are second to no COMMUNE
in this state in point Of intelligence and
moral worth. The county adjoins ours
lying west Of the Mississippi below and if
Governor SlBLEY sends any Of his folks
back there to execute law, the people
ought to build d comfortable raft, catch
the whole posse, put them on board and
send them home. Tx rs :. sasa ~: .sseGs e,
Then arrest these lynchers and give
them fair trial, if they think the cause
Of law and order requires it. IF they do
not please to do 50, we cannot see that it
is any body's business but their own.
81 HoRRIBLE.-The st Paul Times has a
column statement of one JULIA CLARKE
the keeper Of = boarding house, saying
that Mrs 5B1LANsK1 came to her house
after her escape from prison, to hunt her
nephew who boarded there, that she was
in great distress, flying for her life and
yet afraid to go out in the night alone. H.
She implored Mrs. CLARKE to let her
stay inlthe house until her nephew came,
in, but this monster in pettieoats r~5s 81

There is no person on this earth we
have such good reason to believe our NOR

How could any human being turn
hunted animal out into the darkness and
set its pursuers on it's track?5 But this
Julia NJ. Clarke gives every clue 10 her
power, by which another woman, one who
had appealed to her for protection, may be
hunted to the gallows after she says she
promised not to betray the fugitive. She
does not pretend that she was under any
restraint when she gave this promise; but
after voluntarily giving it her CONSCIENCE
troubled her, poor woman; and 50 she sent
for Mr.. AMEs, and made clean breast Of
it; and Mr.. AMEs who appeared to join in
her pious dread that the good people Of
