A Ray OF Republican Light In Pembina
County.

county,
From the unsettled and wilderness portions
of Pembina, where the votes are cast for the
Democracy by forgery, we expect no gains.
But there is portion of Pembina county, ON
the route from St. Cloud to Breckenridge,
where there are some people, from whom we
anticipate Republican vote. At Alexandria
in Douglas county, there are some live Repub-
licans, and they are up and doing, as will ap-
pear from the following proceedings of Re-
publican District Convention recently held in
that town:
"Pursuant to the call of the Republican
Committee, the delegates representing the
counties embraced in the 22nd Senatorial dis.
trict, met in Convention at Alexandra, on
Thursday, Sept. 18th, 1859, for the purpose
of nominating candidates for Senator and
Representative to the State Legislature
John Potter, Esq, of Todd county, was called
to the chair, and Joseph A. James, Of Doug
las county, was appointed Secretary.
NJ. A. Darling of Douglas, moved to change
the name of the party from the Republican
to Independent" C) which, after considera-
BILE discussion, was decided in the negative.
Right!
On motion of Mr.. Darling the Convention
proceeded to ballot for Representative. On
the first Ballot, Saul B. Coudrey of Douglas
county, received votes, and Glendy King ol
Douglas, received 2 votes. On the second
ballot, (Mr. King having withdrawn his name)
Mr.. Coudrey received 5 votes, and was de-
clared unanimously nominated.
On motion, the Convention proceeded to
ballot for Senator On the first ballot, John
Potter, Esq, Of Todd county, received 8 votes
and j. H. Vandyke, of Douglas county,
vote. On motion, Mr.. Potter was declared
unanimously nominated.
On motion, the proceedings of the Conven
ton were ordered to be published in the St
Cloud Democrat, and copy sent to each
county.
On motion, the Convention adjourned SAN
die. JOSEPH A. JAMES, Secretary"

1t appears by letter from the Chairman
of the Wright County Republican Committee,
that we erred in stating I'm. Brown was
the Republican nominee in Wright County.
Mr.. Brown is not the nominee, but JACKSON

The District ticket is, consequently, Frank

LETTER TO Mr.. WINDOW.
WNoNA, Sept. IA, 1859.
Wx WINDOW, Eso.-DEAR SR:-We, the un-
dersigned German Republican citizens of Winona,
in order to secure the blessings of liberty to our
selves and our posterity, say-that while we de-
clare our submission to the Constitution of the
United States, that the citizens of each State shall
be entitled to all privileges and immunities of cit
zens of the several States; and we do affirm, that
the true basis of free government, and OF popular
rights for all countries and all times is to be found
in the great selfevident truths enunciated by
Thomas jefferson, in the Declaration of Independ-
ence,-that we protest against any action which
would put the adopted citizen under greater polit-
cal disabilities than those now imposed by the ma
turalization laws of the United States and demand
such further Legislation by Congress- as will for
ever suppress the extension of probation.
We, therefore, request your opinion to the fol-
| lowing questions:
| lst. Are you in favor of the naturalization laws
as they now stand, and particularly, against all
and every extension of the probation?
I'd. Do you regard it duty Of the Republican
party, as the party of equal rights, to oppose and
war upon each and every discrimination that may
be attempted to be made between the native born
and adopted citizens, to the right of suffrage9
Sd. Do you condemn the late action of the Re-
pubcans in the Massachusetts Legislature, for at
tempting to exclude the adopted citizens for two
years from the balotbox, as unwise, unjust, and
uncalled for?
4th. Are you in favor of liberal Homestead
Bill giving l6o acres of land to every citizen who
will settle upon and improve it9
Respectfully, your obed't serv'ts,

tion in relation to citizens of the United States II
foreign countries. In short, I answer to your
second question afiirmatively. ;.
"3d. Do you condemn the late action of the
Republicans in the Massachusetts, Legislature
"for attempting to exclude the adopted citizens
"for two years from the ballot box, as unwise, un

AnsDer-I do condemn as unwise, unjust, and
uncalled for, the action Of the State of Massachu

apply the same language of condemnation to the
conduct of any State or party, be it Republican
Massachusetts or Democratic South Carolina,
which attempts to abrdge the right of suffrage OF

to discriminate between citizens of the United

on the st. Cr0ix!!
To tie Editors of the Minnesotidn.
Ye Mayor Of St. Paul, and candidate for
Representative OF Ramsey County, Col. D. A.
Robertson made speech in this city last
night. 1t was one of the Colonels regular
speeches, only little more 90!
Many Republicans went to hear him and
thinking that all such speeches would help
our cause in any intelligent community we
wish to continue his labors in this missionary
field /!
AS the result Of this conclusion, the follow
ing paper has been gotten up and signed by
such Republicans as the author happened to
meet with, and was presented to Col Robert
son.
Will you be good enough to lay the matter
before Mr.. RhOrer, Chairman of the Republi-
can State Committee, and see if he cannot ne
gOtiate for the services of Col. Robertson for
the campaign? Yours, &C.,

The last LEGISLATURE.

our ncichbor of the Register intmates thai after
while he will go into an examination of the acts
If omission and commission of the last Legislature,
81. that he will hold the Democratic party, which
bI majority in that body to strict and terrible
..rountability. Very well. Let our contemporary
hiring forward his Bill Of Indictment, and the party
will answer. The trial will be before the impartial
and Just tribunal of the people. We have no ap-
nrebensions as to the result
One ,e the main counts in the bill will no doubt
h ii, fact, that the last Legislature provided for
sufficient increase of revenue to carry the govern
mcnt and at the same time to pay the interest on
the State debt. What will our neighbor be able to
make out of that? Docs he expect even his own
u,r,v to condemn the Assembly for providing the
mems for meeting the honest debts of the State?
Another count will be, that nothing was done for
the Western Extension; and yet the Editor of the
haistfr and his candidate for Governor last sum-
mer, did all in their power, by dwelling upon the
State debt and high taxes to cripple and retard this
s-sat work A very proper perscn, therefore, is
tie Editor of the Register to shed tears over non
action by the Assembly IN regard to this work.
His tears Will be duly appreciated by the people OF
Western Carolina
Another count will be- that Messrs. Turner and
Leach were not allowed to have their own way on
the last night of the session. that they were called to
order for gross violations of the rules of the Senate
and that the reply of President Fisher to the joint
committee was not summarily disposed of by being
thrown out of the window" according to the de-
cent and parliamentary motion Of the Senator from
Orange We have no doubt that our neighbor, the
selEconsttuted prosecuting officer in this case, will
have this count the powerful support of Messrs.
Leach and Turner; but beyond these two gentlemen
Ii, will find no very active supporters.
So come on, Mr.. Syme We, for one, are ready
to give You hearing, and to answer you as you
progress or when you get through. We challeng'
you to the encounter, feeling we do that trutf
ard Justice have nothing to fear from it.
