Point; was evidently working good


himself; he had no fun nor life in him his
speech did not amount to anythingl,' How
true of all the Republican speeches When
you take the blaglard out Of them there is
nothing left.
With regard to the Fcatherstone meeting
we learn that the effect Of Mr. Sorin's in
trusion was beneficial. Several of the au~
dience, who had hitherto been staunch Re-
publicans, asserting that he did not meet
squarely, and could not answer the points
made by the Democrats on our Natlo lal and
State policy, and declared their intention to
vote the Democratic ticket We hope Mr..
Sorin will continue to follow the Democrats
around, the people having notice Of it. that
a place will be given him in the programme,
and that at all events until he gets better
posted upon the real issues before the par
ties. he will be Whitfield up quite as fairly as
at Featherstone. ,.31 ar ..eI. .
TIE DEBT OF GOODHUE COUNTY
1t Is charged through the columns of the
Rcpublicnn, that our statements, made at a
political gathering at Featherstone TO wit
that the county is in debt thirty thousand
dollars over and above the Court House in
debtedness-all contracted since the Repub-
licans came in power-is false and gives til,
following statement in proof: 49,, a!9tsly
The financial exhibit made by the Audito,
to the Board Of supervisors ut it's meeting
held September 18Th 1859, represents the
liabilities Of tie county over the assets 10 be
