Now, these people sre generally intelligent; but
even the most ignorant can be made to see and
know that the Republican party is committed BY
It's National Platform, by the persistent action of
It's Members Of Congress, by its Consciousness that
belt Of freehold cultivatOrs Of qu,rter-sections
in se7ersl'y would afford the strongest possible
barrier 10 the Extension Of Slavery, to the main-
tenauce ard prosecution of the Free Homestead
policy. The Democratic party, on the other hand,

What the Republicans Of Minnesota have mainly
TO do is 70 cau,e certified transcript TO be made
from the official Journals Of Congress Of every
proposition made in either House at the late
Session with regard TO Free Grants Of Public
Lands to Actual Settlers, with the votes taken
thereon printing the names of Republicans uni
foruly in Italic, AMI tho.e Of Americans in small
capitals, so that each reader may see at glance
hoS each party voted on every division. Add to
this the speech Of Mr. Cavansugh, in which ne
warned his Democratic brethren that they were
killing their party in the Northwest By opposing
Free Grants of Public Lands TO Actual Settlers

Then take silent but efectual measures to detect
and defeat fsl.s voting ard false returns at the Fall
Election, and the State is safe By majority of
thousands.
