Tho Wright County "Insurrection" and in
vasion-now generally known as the "Galli.
nirper War"-llas come to m inglorious end.
Yc1r readers are familiar with Tue history of
this hideous farce and need not recount the
circumstances Of it now.
Immediately on hearing Of the "rescue" Of
the alleged lynchers, Moore and Dertran, by
20 disguised citizens Of Rockford, Acting Gov
crnor Siblcv mustered all the citizen soldicry Of
Minnesota, some 500 men, dispatching $50 to
the ''seat Of war; Wright County, which lie had
already declared Sin state Of insurrcctiou,"
and ordering the rest under arms ready to
march. The $50 went to Monticello with Act
ing Governor Sibley, aud his $50 dollar uni
form at their head took possession Of hotel

called upon the outlaws to come forth and sur
render; found thousand farmers peacefully
harvesting their lay and grain, and fiuding it
impossible to 'kick against nothing" they
turned on their heels and came back to St.
Paul as empty handed rs they started out. No

turned on Thursday, tue llth, ut a cost to the
S:ate Of not less than $4,000, (The Governor,
Of COURSE, will not think Of paying this out Of
his $4,000 Contingent Fund, which the Demo-

which invitation he accepted.) The farmers Of

The fact Of this matter is, Mr. Editor, the
people Of Wright County are not the blood
thirsty assassins they have been represented,
and their libellers will know it. They are, on
the other hand, rs moral, intelligent, enterpris-
ing, industrious and religious as any communi-
ty in the Northwest. Their action in hanging
the murderer Jackson may hare been il-timed
and unnecessary-tor Lynch law, is dreadful
remedy at any time, and only to be resorted to
in the most desperate extreme, for social de-
tion is verg doubtful-indeed, the popular iu-
preston is, that it had not. But there was no
malice in their violence; it was done with all the
/ consciousness and deliberation Of reasoning and
| resolute men. And what proyocation they
! had. Within ten years, more than twenty mur.

only one man has been punished for that crime,
and he was poor degraded Indian, who COM
| mitted murder after his white brethren had
made him drunk. Criminals in all parts Of the
| State have broken out or whitfield out Of our
rotten jails; have bribed our public officers
or have been let out by our ja1lors, and the only
question they hare ever had to settle has been.
how long they would voluntarily board at the
| expense OF the State. In one case, year ago,
inurderers were let out of our State prison be.

paid their board in advance!
