it is proper that all unnecessary complications

We are grateful to them for the kind intent !;

ment that has occurred, to announce to them
and others. that we are not and will not, be a
candidate before the Republican Legislative
Caucus, for nomination to that m=n posi-

gained towards an earlier unity and concen'
tration upon the fright man," whoever tina:
may be.
That he may be man of capacity and edu
cation, of dignity Of character and action, and
sound on all the vital principles of the Party,
we most earnestly hope. For six years. he
will represent at Washington, the dignity and
character of the sovereign State of Minnesota
1t is important, therefore, that no mistake
should be made: important, alike for the IN
terests of the State, the welfare of the People
and the future of the Republican Party.
Let, therefore, nothing be done hastily
let the modest discussion and the treeSt per
sonal scrutiny,be indmlged in; without acrf
mony or rashness, in candid spirit, seeking
after only the truth, and carefully discrlnln'
ating between what is the truth. and what are
mere calumnieS.
By this course, the Republicans of the Leg
islature cannot fail of arriving at result which
will give general satisfaction, and excite the
pride of every Minnesotian, without regard te
party or locality.
