The Fall Campaign.

We are glad to know that the proper
spirit is prevailing every where Throughout,
the State among the Democracy, to secure
united action during the coming canvass,
and glorious victory at the polls. The St.
Peter Statesman speaking OF the duty Of
Democrats, says:
IL wise and prudent counsels prevail, IL the
mature Judgment of its accredited leaders take
the place Of passionate revenge, il proper
spirit of concession and Cancellation should oc.
cupy the place OF violent abuse and shameful
persecution, the Democratic party can be re.
stored to its former vigor and invincible
strength. Let those who have protested to act
with the party from their admin alton and sppro-
baton OF its principles and measures. and from
motives of patriotism, now give q sufficient rea-
son for the faith that is In them. Lei them
cure, instead Of creating disease III the body
polite.
II such course be pursued, in addition to
the electoral vote which was given President
Bochanan in 1856, the Democracy will have the
increased satisfaction OF receiving the electoral
votes of both Minnesota and Oregon, the latter
of which will doubtless be admitted the present
session of Congress) for the nominee OF the
Charleston Convention in 1860. But above all
things, . continuance of the disgraceful quarrel
OF the past twelve months. over what is now
lifeless issue, must not be tolerated by the
masses Of the Democratic party. II must be
severely rebnked, let the condemnation fall
upon whom it may. II lily becomes the con.
trolling party Of = great nation. Better that
oil the present sspirants for Presidential honors
be east of, than that the highest Office in the
gift Of free people should become an agency
Of humiliation and Decentralization OF both the
nation and its citizens. and u reprosch to the

The Winona Democrat holds the follow
ing language:
There are no jealousies no schisms In the
Democratic Party Of Minnesota. Its members
meet on one common platform, and have Al
heart the success OF the common cause, against
the mongrel masses who oppose themselves to
correct political opinions. Lecompton Is set.
tled--deAd and buried and 1t will be impossi-
BILE for the Opposition TO resurrect its sinking
carcass. With Its death, died all cause for de-
lection in the party. To-day, the policy Of Mr..
Buchanan on all iiring issues is endorsed fully
and unequivocally by every TRUE Democrat In
the State. Therefore, the Democratic Party
of Minnesota will be found a united, fearless
phalanx against the Opposi'on in the cleo
tons this year.
Go to work, Democrats Of Mimi sofa. Let
activity characterize the Party. Organize
thoroughly, in every Township. The county
Committees should take the lead in this work.
They should call meetings and organize Town.
ship Committees and theseC Committees should
organize School District Committees SO. the
work would be perfect. Documents should be
procured.--the newspapers OF our orn STATE
circulated, reading clubs organized and this
work should be set about imme diately.
The Opposition is diyided-their ranks are
broken into fragments and scattered. The peo'
pie have no coniidsnce in their principles, for
they will not bear investigation.
