Responses to The State Nominations,

Responses 70 Tue SsaSe NouAsu"sA0ssz
The Lake City Tribune of Saturday, the
23d. comes to us with the Republican State
nominations hoisted at its masthead. The
editor says:
Friday Evening. are at length in pos
session of the minutes of the Convention, but
too late to attempt to give anything like Its
details. The State Ticket will be found at the
head of our column. We believe it is good
one and give it our hearty endorsement tits
very gratifying to us to know that the Con
vention was very harmonious in its deloera-
tons and choices. This is as it should be
And now let every Republican throughout
the State endorse with all his heart and
strength the Ticket. Let all local issues and
feelings be dropped. Remember the great
underlying principles Of the Republican party,
and, having confidence in the integrity and
ability of the nominations, work anu vote IKE
men in earnest and in love of those principles,
and the victory shall be ours. .Iy ..
The editor of the St. Anthony Ne'cs, who
was attending the Convention as an outsider
writes home to his paper as follows
Governor Ramsey was unanimously noml-
mated by reclamation this afternoon, IN the

rarely seen equalled. What an inspiration
there is in his leadership-what tower OF
strength in his single name In all sections
and had almost said in all parties, for
hundreds of Democrats will vault their party
lines and rally round our standard bearer
his name is spoken with equal favor, and with
it we can certainly carry the banner OF constr
tutional liberty through the fierce contest,
upright and triumphant.
The Prescott Transcript, though published
across the St. Croix, in Wisconsin, crculates
considerably in Minnesota, and takes much
interest in Minnesota affairs. 1t has the fol-
lowing respecting the action of the Republican
State Convention ...
Alex. Ramsey was nominated for Governor
by reclamation, and in neat and pertinent
speech thanked the Convention for the honor
conferred upon him. Alexander Ramsey Is
the best man that could have been brought
forward for that office, and will, beyond the
possibility of doubt, be promoted to the
chair Gubernatorial, next fall, a name which,
by all that is just and honorable, he should hold
to-day. We bet high on his triumphant cleo
ton, no matter who the Democracy trot out
to oppose him, whether it be the present IN
cumbent, or the war horse Of the prairie.

News FROM THE FREIGHTER.-Capt Davis
and Clerk VIM. Watson, of the steamer
Freighter, which has been trying all season to
force its way up the Minnesota River to Big
Stone Lake, arrived in this city yesterday,
and announced the total abandonment of the
enterprise for the season. Two men were
left to take care of the boat, and protect its
property from the Indians.
Captain D. and others went up to the port
age between the two Lakes, and assured him
self of the practicability of the passage in the
spring, when the water is high. tits about
three quarters of mile in length, and is a
kind of ravine, which in the spring is covered
about neck deep with water
The officers of the Freighter only abandoned
the enterprise when the uselessness of pursu
ing it farther was manifest. The falling wa
ter. and the lateness of the season was against
them. In some places they damned up the
water behind them, so as to raise it several
feet and then pushed ahead through places
| where it seemed no boat could be forced, OF
ever will again in all probability. -
| Next spring, however, when the Hoods
caused by the melting snow have swelled thu
waters of the Upper Minnesota and the TIVE
Lakes, the Freighter will undoubtedly fore
her way through, and ride triumPhantly in tn
waters of the Red River, in time to do sea
sons business on that recently opened river

Additional War Items.

New YORK, July %.
The Eoening Post has seen private letters
just received in this City which contain seve-
raj items of news from Italy thathave not yet
been known here,
The massacre at Perugia had created an
intense excitement in Milan, and on the Sd Of
July, the Pope, Cardinal Antonelli, and Col.
Schmidt were burned in etfigy on the Plaza
d'Arme. 1t Is said 5000 Sandman soldiers
have repaired to the city of Bologna to pro-
tect that city and support the Provisional gov
ernment Massimo D'Azeglio has also gone
to Bologna. The news Of the battle Of Sal
ferino created as great a sensation at Naples
as elsewhere, and the young king at once des-
patched messenger to the camp, to congrat-
ulate the allied nations 1t was further ru-
mored that an envoy extraordinary would be
sent to him. Perhaps to form an alliance
with the Sandman government.

The Slave Trade.
WASHINGTON, July 25.

WASHINGTON, july 70.
From information received in this city, it
appears hat some of the Southern Represen-
tatlves, while claiming to be opposed to the re-
opening Of he African Slave Trade, are pledss
ing themselves to introduce into Cong. ..,- a
bill repeating all the statutes upon the sub
ject, leaving h, as they profess to desire, to
the regulation Of the several States. But as
the Constitution confers on Congress the pow
err to prohibit the trade, and as death seems
to be regarded astoo severe a penalty for vlo-
lating what so &c consider merely law reg
ulating commerce, it is said thu others, who
are opposed to the slave trade, will agree on a
measure with view to make the prohibition
and abolition more effective by the Certainty
of punishment otherwise than capital and thus
they think, that good will result from the
present agitation of the subject.

July.
In this great and glorious country of ours,
every man is at liberty-that is, every white
man-to celebrate the 4th of July as he
pleases, and our exchanges bring us curious
illustrations of the different styles in which
our national birthday was commemorated in
various portions of the Union. For instance,
in Winchester, Tennessee, they celebrated
the Fourth by a sale of negroes. Here is the
advertisement:
SALE OF NEGROES, &c-By consent of par
ties will, on the 4th dav of July next, at the
Court House door, in the town of Winchester,
sell for cash the following negroes: Ellie, about
fifteen years old Fed, about = years old

FURTHER ABOUT THE EXCURSION Party
Yesterday morning the fine weather sestcsed
everybody to good humor, and set the tide OF
travel in motion very early. Some wendell
their way to the Levee where the FaVorite
was leaving bi-houTly for Minne-ha-ha with
full loads, while many embarked on stages
and some in private conveyances, all bound
for Mime ha-ha Falls, where some great ex'
element was promised the million. The no
tells wore buster appearance than we ever
knew them to before, and general air OF bus
tie and stir prevailed everywhere. Towards
ten o'clock, however, the exodus had left
more Quiet and sober air to. the streets, and
though the o,nnibusses and stages were kept
busy, the crowd had evidently taken itself
elsewhere. .' -aH II
Numerous small groups left yesterday
morning on the Itasca, and in the evening on
other packets, homeward bound. In con-
versing with many of these, they praised in
highest terms the country, the climate, and
the hospitality Of our citizens. a..
The churches on Sunday were unusually
full, and the pulpits were IN several instances
occupied by Reverend gentlemen who hap
pened in our City transiently.
The Odd Fellows entertained a number Of
their brethren last night, among whom were
several high dignitaries of the fraternity
The occasion was most pleasant.
The Favorite took up good number last
evening, and they will no doubt return well
pleased with their visit up the Minnesota Val
ley.
Last night there was grand ball of the
"Sons of Malta" at the Nicollet House, Min

DARING ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY-THE Rob-
Der ATTEMPTS MURDER, AND MAKES HIS Es-
cAPE.-On Monday last about nine o'clock,
Mr. Geo. L. Van Solen, clerk in L. 9. Collins
grocery on Seventh Street, near the Fuller
House, returned to the store after being alb
sent nearly an hour, and going in locked
the door on the inside He struck light, and
went at once into his sleeping room IN the
rear of the store just as he entered the
room, a man sprung from a crouching posi-
ton behind a table, and advanced towards
him. Mr.. V. had just time to comprehend
the state of matters, and planted good blow
between the intruders "peepers," who had
Just time to knock the candlestick from Mr..
VS. hands before he fell. The villain then
drew pistol and fred in tie direction OF Mr..
" but the light being extinguished by this
time, narrowly missed his face, and the ball
passed through his hat rim. All this hao
passed in a moment, and seizing his chance,
the burglar attempted again to escape, when
Mr. V. closed with him, but received blow
which sent him Keeling to the floor, stunned
and helpless for the time. The villain then
made good his escape, and when Mr.. VanSo-
len recovered so as to give the alarm, no ira
ces could be found of him. Mr.. V. thinks
the fellow must have been providing around
and observing him go out, got in by false
keys. He got nothing however.

Washington aud Jefferson.

We have so much confidence in the genera!
riehtfulness of the positions of our Washing
ton Correspondent, that we do not always
feel it necessary to read his articles before
publishing them; and accordingly, a few days
ago, during a press of business, consequent
on the assembling of the State Convention,
the article on Washington and Jefferson ap-
peared in our columns before we had time to
look at it.
With our correspondent and the world, we
have a devout and most reverent respect for
the memory of Washington. But we are not
departing from that respect, by saying that, in
his day, he was attached to the conservative
and old school sentiment of the country,
while his Secretary, JEFFERSON, was the rep
resentative of the radical or democratic senti-
| ment.
That there was much unjust and undeserv-
ed asperity, growing out of the conflict of these
sentiments, at the Inauguration of our Gov
eminent, was inevitable from the very nature
of human weaknesses and that JEFFERSON
had his many failings, is only another asser
ton that he was man.
But we dissent entirely, not only from thu
manner but the positions Of our correspon
dent on this subject. JEFFERSON was the in
aupurator of the real democratic sentiment Q
the country now represented by the Republl
can Party; and as such deserves, as he re
ceives, the homage of the world therefor.

TIE ESCAPE OF MRS BILANsKY.-This &C.
currence has given rise to much just indigna-
ton, and many rumors arc afloat connected
Herewith. One of these seriously compro-
misses the whole posse Of Sheriffs, Deputies
and Turnkeys,-that Mrs. Bilansky has been
seen on the street alone and unguarded, and
that her attorney states that she once called
on him at his room, stated her ability to es-
cape then and there, and asked his advice,
when be counseled her not to do so, as there
were still hopes of her being acquitted. Did
Mrs. Bilansky crawl out of a window, or walk
out through main door? is the question being
most discussed at present.
And another pertinent inquiry is, where is
she hid?
