CAST STEEL BELLS. for churches, &c, have
been made in sheffield, England, several
years, and have been tested in the North of
Europe. as also in Canada, AID VARIOUS

TIE CORRUPTION OF THE RE.
PUBLICHN CONVENTION.

However improper the influences brought
to bear upon the Convention may have been
in other particulars we can assure our friend
that they had no connection whatever with
the nomination of DR.. Garrard. ;" Republican.
This is mere assertion on the part of the
Republican, it has no proof and can offer
none to support the statement. How was
it that tho nomination of DR.. Garrafd was
not obtained by influences equally as i'm.
proper, as you admit, were brought to bea,
upon the convention in other particulars y
Did lie not "eak0 tie requisite p!etlges, where.
by he sold himself body and soul to Chas
Mcclure, in order to obtain the nomination
The Republican well knows that he did
Did he not sell out other candidates
candidates for Senator, for Treasurer and
Auditor, in order to obtain it ? The RepuL
lican knows that he did. Did he not .bu,
the delegates from his district who support
ed him. Aaron G. Hudson, said so, openly
as we can prove by fifty men.
How is it that Mr.. Garrard will not poll on
tenth Of the Republican votes in that dis
trict. That over three hundred Of then
have pledged their earnest support to Per
ry Martin. It is because they know thos
facts and are acquainted with the man
and would support as they all say, eve

We have made mention in another col
umn Of the plans now entertained by the
Republicans, Of re-enacting the frauds OF

and no impeachment of them ever has been
or ever can be made.
This, then, is conclusive evidence of the
tlct that large number Of votes were
polled in this county over and above the
number Of bona fide electors in the county
nearly, if not quite 4Oo-for it must be
borne in mind that from 100 to $50 of those
electors did not vote at all. As further eyi

THE HOMESTEAD BILL.

We have frequently published the first
clause Of the Homestead Bill, showing that
it was only intended to apply to lands sub

Ebe Of no possible benefit to a single riesideus
|of Minnesota, but; on the contrary, the
greatest injury; for it would drive the emf.

avail themselves Of its provisions. Nay
that it would even draw our own settlers
away from us on that account. =

place, took different view Of the clause in
question, and contended Every briefly, how
ever that the latterpart Of the clause ex-
tended its provisions over all classes Of Gov
eminent lands. by .-.'''.'"y 9at 81
In order that our readers may clearly un.

clause in question :: l..a ..7.y5
"That any person who is the head Of a
family, or. who has arrived at the age of
twenty.one years and is citizen of the
United States Or who shall have filed his

DEMOCRATS! Re ON YOUR GU ARD.

DEMOCRATS! RE ON YOUR GU ARD!
We have received reliable Information that
the Republicans contemplate carrying out
great system Of frauds, all through South
ern Minnesota, aud especially through the
south part Of Goodhue county, and in 9TH
or localities, where they may have simila:
facilities. The scheme is with regard to
this county, to run loads Of voters be-.
tween Mazeppa in Wabashaw, and Bclv-
dere. Zumbrota, Cherry grove and Kenyon,
voting them in all those precincts. i:t:1
This was the SANE scheme carried out by
the Republicans in 1857, by which the vote
Of this county was increased over three
hundred over the actual number of residents
then in the county-saying nothing about
the fact that large number Of actual resi-
dents did not vote at all. One instance will
be recollected when a prominent citizen Of
Zumbrota took load Of strangers from this
place and voted them at Eastcrly's and at
Zu'nbrota after they had voted here. The
righteous among the Republicans arc seduced
into this scheme, on the pretended plea that
the Democrats will carry out similar fra:ds
in the North, and it will be necessary to
counterba'ance them in this way. Oh hon.
est Republicans. ..+t
The Republicans are now pretending that
they will carry Zumbrota by one hundred
and fifty majority, and Bclvidero, Cherry
Grove Sc, by a vote in the same pro-
9ortion-preparins the public mind for a
large vote in these precincts-whle tho &C.
tual residents Of Zumbrota never have and
do not now number seveu.y-fivc. There is
not that number to be found on the road SUI
pcrvisors' list.
They also boast as they did in 1857, that
they have a fund Of $4,000, raised in the
east rs it was at that time, to carry the
present election. .... ...t r.M
Democrats he or your guard. The voice
Of the people Of Goodhuo county, must not
be again choked down, BY the repetition Of
the enormous frau Is Of -. Make it an
especial point to watch those precircts.--
Challenge every person offering to vote who
is not resident Of the precinct. Take his
name and actual residence if You can discover
it aud thus be prepared with the evidence to
nproot the. returns from precincts in
which the Republican programme is carried
out. III

1t also appears somewhat strange that
Mr.. Martin should appeal to the Republi.
cans OF the county through an organ Of the
opposition, when the columns of a journal
which probably circulates twenty times a.
extensively among that class of voters tc
which his appeal is directed, was equally a,
his serbice,-a fact, too with which he was

This insult to Mr.. Martin, shows conclu.
sivcly with what a friendly spirit that shce
was actuated, and hoeo kindly it would have
been at his service. ...
Mr.. Martin unwillinsly came forward as
an Independent candidate, at the unanimou,
request of the Republicans Of his district
and because he deemed it lis duty, and tina
of the independent Republican voters, thus
to rebuke the greatest political iniquity tina
has ever been enacted in Minnesota. III.

to malisning and falsi6ing Mr. Martins DO.

plaster up, and smooth over, the proceedings
Of the Convention, which il has, however
to admit; was controlled by Improper in.
fluences,' and then begs its readers not tc
hazard U. S. Senator for such trivial
matter. No! Republicans must swallow
a ticket conceived and brought forth in the
foulest iniquity, and candidates who are in
every way unfit and unqualified for the sew
eral otfices-some Of them, in fact, like
Mr.. Garard, Of doubtful political principles
"a Democrat until the last year--because
some other interests may be jeopardized.-
The Convention should have had that in
view in making it's ominatioas-should
have considered that the election of a Sena-
tor made it all the more necessary to nomi-
nate good men, and not have acted as it
did-upon the presumption that the party
would support onybody-rather than rua the
risk Of losing United States Senator.
But of one thing the Republicans may
rest assured, they cannot in any eclmt elect
Senotor, because the State Senate is al
ready Democratic-a sufficient majority OF
Democratic Senators holding over to insure
that fact. Lao. ...

THE LEr TER FROM IlEEAIELIN ON
TIE OHIO SWlNDLttR,

The letter from Hon. Charles Reemeln
to Republican Of Red Wing, has created
considerable sensation in Republican circles
1t has removed whatever doubts the hon
est and candid portion Of that party may
have entertained, as to Bakers guilt Mr.
Reemelin has been active as a Republican
since the organization of that party HI
attended the Pittsburgh Convention of Feb
ruary, 1856, and took prominent part in
laying down the basis of the Republican or.
ganization ; he was an able advocate of Ere
mont's election; has been an unwayerine
supporter of Gov. Chase, of Ohio and ar
to the hour Of his (2EEMEL1N's) appoint
ment as Trustee Of the Ohio Life Insurance
& Trust Company, in February of the pres
ent year, he held q lucrative and response.
BILE appointment at the hands of Gov. Chase.
But Mr.! Reemclin will not permit his sym
pathics as Republican, to overmaster his
duty as Il citizen; and, as consequence, he
has been active as a member of thu
Ohio Investigating Committee, in ferre.ine
out Bakers scoundrelisln. In his language
Baker was regarded as venal and corrupt
by all with whom he came in contact" :
The letter of Mr.. Reemelin was written
in response to the interrogatories Of Orrin
l)ensmore: Esq, the Republican Probate
Judge Of Goodhue county. Mr. Densno.e,
suppressed the letter, but copies Of the cor.
respondence were procured from Ohio. The
nice sense Of honor which ac;uated Dens.
more, we trust, will be appreciated by the
people of Goodhue county. Had Mr.. Rem

have been expressed to every portion of tho
