Editorial Correspondence of the Pioneer and Democrat
ST. CLOUD, Sept. 49, 1859.
Any one, of the southern part of the State,
whose credulity gets the better of his judg
ments might be pardoned for believing that
the Dark Ages were about to be re-enacted.
in political way, in Minnesota, through
an irrupption, like that of ancient days, of
the Go,hs and Vandals of fanaticism from
the North. The Republicans at ST. Paul
and below, have been so positive and per-
sistent in claiming the n orthern Mississippi
as a region converted to their faith, that
many good Democrats began to believe that
there might be some danger of their predic--
tions proving true; unthinking that even
Republican impudence could 60 so far, and
make such extravagant claims upon so
small basis. But credulity, itself, would
soon be undecived by an eye to eye glance
at this Northern section. So far from
Democratic detection, and Republican
gains, the Democracy are frmer than ever
in the true faith. and more active than ever,
in UNFOLDING and propogating it.
In Stearns County, from which | now
write, the Democratic party was never in so
good condition. For the last two or three
years divisions have existed within our ranks,
and the efficiency of the party has been
weakened, and its strength moderated.
These dissensions are now happily healed.
and the whole party is not only united, but
enthusiastic. Stearns County, and the en-
tire district in which it is located, will send
down to the capital a splendid Democratic
account in October.
Last night, Judge LARRABEE, and the
German orator, RoTHE, addressed the Dem
oc-acy, respectively in English and German
Both speakers were in their best voice and
spirit, and the audience were approaching
and enthusiastic. / have never witnessed
more thoroughly alive feeling pervading any
people than manifested itself here last night.
These speakers, each among the best in bis
language, will work world of good during
the balance of the canvass. No man OF
honesty and good judgment can listen to
Judge LARRABEE without being confirmed
in his political principles, if he is Demo.
crat, or shaken in his faith, if he is a Re-
publican. / have never heard the history
and principles of the Democracy more clear
ly elucidated, or more ably defended. And
the Germans speak in the same high terms
of RoTHE.
The Legislative and County ticket nomi-
mated by the Democracy is all that could be
desired in point of capacity and respecta-
bility. The candidates are all in the field,
and at work. Mr.. ANDREWS is now off on
a stumping tour, with STEPHEN G. MILLER,
an old Know Nothing from Pennsylvania,
man as inferior to the former in point of
intellect, as he is superior in point of impu-
dence. Mr.. ANDREWS will increase his al
ready high reputation among the people
during the present canvass. A thoroughly
bred and cultured lawyer and gentleman, he
unites with these qualities, great industry
forming altogether character which will
be sure to impress itself upon the future
political history of Minnesota. This Sena-
toria district will be more ably represented
than ever before, in the next Legislature,
and the delegation will be unbrokenly
Democratic. So mote it be. f. S. G.
