Correspondence Of the Pioneer and Democrat
ROCHESTER, Mimi, Sept. IL, 1859.
The campaign of $50 has but just opened
with us-the speeches of Messrs. BR1sB1N
and Cole being the opening up. They ad-
dressed large audience at the Court House
in this place, on Friday night last. Mr..
BR1sBIN's clear, concise, and argumentative
remarks, were received with hearty applause,
and fell like molten lead into the ranks of
the Opposition, and served to convince the
wavering that the position occupied by the
Democracy was the correct one, and that
their platform was the only one that could
be stood upon with safety. His remarks
were not of the kind to excite the risibility
of an audience, but were of that character
which carries conviction to the nearer, and
leaves the impression that what the speaker
says be means, and what be means he SAYS.
In justice to Mr.. BRIsB1N, we can but here
remark, that we have seldom heard but few
that leave so favorable an impression behind
them. The Democracy of this county will
give him their hearty support, and in doing
so, will give their votes to an honorable
man, and firm advocate of truth, right,
and justice, as well as true Democrat
Upon the other hand, the speech of COLE
was stale and fiat, and in fact the same " old
yarn" that has been spun for years-abuse
OF Democratic men and measures. 1t was
imbecile and puerile, and proved unsatisfac-
tory to ALL His attempts at wit rendered
his speech odious as we'll as disgusting, and
bis listeners, to man, returned to their
homes, with the entire consciousness of the
fact, that Mr.. c. was not in any particular,
fit for the office he is Striving to gain.
through falsehood and Misrepresentation
If Mr.. Cole is fair representation of the
remainder of the Republican ticket, "God
save the mark !"
The Democracy of Olmsted are up in
arms, and ready for the combat-not dis
tracted and divided as heretofore as
one man. Their nominations for county
officers were made on Saturday last, and up
on the ticket may be found the names of
the BEST as we'll as the hardest working
Democrats in the ranks-men for whom we
feel a pride as well as an honor in support.
ing-men whose countenances bear the i'm.
press of reliability and integrity, and just
such men as can and will be elected.
Our prospects of success were never so
bright as now. Every day adds few more
to our already swelling ranks, and the
leaders of the Opposition begin to trem-
BILE for the result. They now begin to
see that in their attempt to foist upon this
people reputation platform and repu-
diation ticket, they have gone step too
far. In the place of regulating the State
debt, they find the people are repudiating
them, IA thing they should have done long
ago. They now find that as poor as our
honest yeomanry now are, they were not yet
in condition to do an act of dishonor to
themselves and bring ruin and disgrace to
our fair young State. The treachery of the
Minnesota Republican platform-makers is
now apparent, and quietus will be put
upon them at the ballot-box in October
next, which will consign them to the Deep
est depths of infamy and disgrace.
Again, 1 will say in behalf of the Democ-
racy of Olmsted, that they are up and do
ing not sentinel asleep at his post har-
mony is in their ranks, and that they are
wide awake, and will give good return of
their ranks in October next.
