The Wabashaw journal.

Mr.. H. G. SIMPSON, of this journal, whose
corruption and rascality we have fully dem
onstrated, does not meet with much encour>
agement from the Wabashaw Herald, the
leading Republican paper in the county.
In its issue of the 18th, the Herald thus re-
fers to the contempt which is felt and ex-
pressed for SIMPSON, by his new allies, who
use, but despise the traitor:
THE JOURNAL TAKES ITS PoSITfoN.-NeighbOr
Simpson has finally made up his mind which
side will 'pay best, and has cast his net in Re-
publican waters. Not ripple was occasloned
by it. He has been in market So long that his
subsiding either way would have caused no
but one thing, that he has made up his mind
that the Republican party is invincible in this
county The Republicans of the county, Nth
ont a single exception, so far as we have been
able to learn, have expressed their unqualified
contempt for his position not because Of his
change-that is human prvilege-but because
of the manifest reason for that change. We have
been informed that our neighbCr, on the eve.
ming OF the day on which he hoisted Republican
colOrs, used the following words, or words OF
the same import: IF live till election day
shall vote for Stephen A. Douglas" This was
while in conversation with gentleman of this
place. We have no desire to do our neighboT
Injustice, but if that is fact we would like to
know it.
When the above is answered, we shall have
other questions to ask.
God hates treachery.

Democratic Mass Meetings.

We publish this week list of appoint
ments for the candidates presented by the
late State Convention for the suffrages of
the people. This list covers only portion OF
the time between the present and the close
of the canvass; but it is as full as it can now
be made. 1t will be seen that a series of
mass meetings is provided for, commencing
at Bed Wing, on the 18th September, and
closing up at Wabashaw on the 9th OF
October. These meetings ought to be at
tended not only by the masses OF the Democ-
racy, but of the whole people. They will be
addressed by the ablest and most eloquent
OF our public men; and as mere intellectual
treats, will repay those who attend them
amply for their time and trouble. Let the
Democracy, especially, turn out by hundreds
and thousands, with music and banners,
and evidence by their presence and enthusi-
asm the interest they feel in the great con-
test now impending before the country.
Other appointments, covering the balance
OF the time of the campaign will be an
nounced at an early day.

The State Convention.

AS far as our information extends, the
action of the recent State Convention, in
the matter of candidates and platform, meets
with the hearty concurrence and approval
of the Democracy Of the State. The dele
gates return to their homes, cheered and en-
couraged by the zeal and confidence of sue
cess manifested in the Convention. There
we're no doubts expressed or entertained, in
the Convention, as to the probability of the
State being carried for DOUGLAS, if the
Democrats would put their shoulders to the
wheel, throughout the State, and conduct
the canvass with energy and determination
to conquer The delegates appeared to be
impressed with the right spirit, and if they
impart little of their zeal to their constitu-
ents, Minnesota may be set down as sure for
DOUGLAS and JOHNSON.
The ticket is as good and available CONS
bination of names as it was possible to Sc
lect. Messrs. GILMAN and GEORGE, the
candidates for representatives, are both men
of talent, of fine presence, popular manners,
and great force as speakers. They will can
vass the State in the most thorough manner.
The candidates for Presidential Electors
were chosen with view to their fitness and
ability as public speakers, as well as mark
of distinguished merit. They will also en-
ter upon the canvass of the State, at the
earliest practicable period, and continue in
the field until election.
Mr.. J j. Noah, candidate for Clerk OF
the Supreme Court, has filled that position
to the satisfaction of the bar of the State
during the past two years.
Mr.. Hermann TRo7T, of Pine county.
candidate for Auditor of State, is an educa'
ted German gentleman, we'll acquainted with
the English language, a thorough and &C.
complished business man, whose character
for integrity and honesty, is unspotted with
the slightest faint. He will make not only
competent, but thoroughly honest off
Ger, if elected.
Let the Democracy 60 to work in thei'
school districts, and perfect thorough or.
ganization. If they do so, they will carry
Minnesota by decided majority, in No
vember next.

The Dead Men of the National
Democratic Convention.

When, in the State Convention, Mr..
CAvANAUGH objected to the omission, in the
resolutions reported by the committee ap-
proving the course of the majority of the
delegation to the National Democratic Con-
vention, of the names, or any reference to
the treachery, of the three renegades, Col.
ROBERTSON, in justification of the report of
the committee, called the attention of his
"classic FRIEND" to the Roman maxim
Mortuis non conuiciendum-"We must not
speak ill of the dead" The quotation bit
the mark; the effect was electric; and pro-
duced an emphatic shout of applause from
the whole convention.
The traitors are indeed dead, beyond re-
covery; and as Mr.. CAvANAuGH has well
said in bis New England speech, "they fol-
lowed their own hearse back to the soil of
Minnesota"
If the committee had mentioned their
names in the resolution, it could have been
done only for Reproduction of their treachery,
against which that other Roman maxim
Mortuum fagellas,-- &c GU are beating adead
man, might have been aptly quoted.
These men are dead, and "let the dead bury
the dead" But Mr.. CAvANAUGH, who is
a humane gentleman, evidently deplored the
death of his old friend, of whom he spoke so
feelipgly, and was manifestly influenced by
that generous sentiment of the old Romans:
De mortuis nal nlsi bonum,-"Of the dead be
nothing said but what is good"

virginia State Convention.

The TWO Democratic State Conventions
OF Virginia have adjourned without agree
ing upon any plan of compromise. All
ovartures were rejected, by one or both Con-
veptions. At the Breckenridge Convention
HUNTER and MASON made speeches, the
latter declared that the path marked out
by DOUGLAS leads directly to the Abolition
camp. A wonderful man is Mr.. Mason.
The Douglas Convention at Staunton,
rejected all propositions for compromise
with the seceders. A resolution was adopted
that the vote of the State should be cast for
anv candidate to defeat LINCOLN. Great
enthusiasm prevailed.

MEN OF MARK !-Among the Wide Awakes,
every member signs his name to the Constitu-
ton. Among the 'Little Giants" majority
make their mark" while the Secretary writes
the name opposite. Minnesotian.
The above is fair specimen of the sneer-
ing falsehoods on any organization OF the
Democracy, composed of the honest, indus
trious, hard working "bone and sinew" of
the community, that are constantly being
published in the Mannesotiun and kindred
prints. 1t betrays such contempt of COM
mon humanity, where it is not encased in a
dark skin, or robed in broadcloth, as to be
obvious to the dullest apprehension. The
party endorsing such taunts, will find that
the "Little Giants" will snake their mark"
at the polls on the 9Th of November, and
signally rebuke their contemplate maligners.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-08-31

The New York Daily News, which
strongly opposed the nomination of Mr..
Douglas, now says that no candidate, with
the exception of Jackson, ever inspired so
much enthusiasm. 1t says:
"Our exchanges are filled with the records
of popular demonstrations and popular
movements in favor of the Democratic nom.
inee. Douglas meetings, Douglas clubs,
Douglas societies, Douglas committees,
Douglas serenades, Douglas excursions,
Douglas balls, Douglas hops, Douglas enter
tainments, Douglas dinners and Douglas
speeches are all the 60 at present. They
spring spontaneously from the people them
selves, and can not be repressed. They
speak the same voice that was heard on the
hills of New England and the rich bottom
lands of New YOrk-that walked up the
echoes of the Aleganies, ard rolled over the
prairies of the West and rich savannahs of
the South in 1882, and, in addition thereto,
it now takes far wider Western sweep
and also winds along the distant golden
shores of California, the far off Oregon, and
cheers the hearts of the miners in the passes
and on the hill sides of the Sierra Nevada.
In conclusion it adds:
Pass through the streets of the city and
along our numerous wharves, and converse
with thousands of honest laborers, those
who earn their bread by the sweat of their
brows, and they will tell you almost to a
man that they are for Douglas.
Converse with our hundred thousand mer-
chants, their clerks and employees, as they
meet in their reading and club rooms, or
around their own firesides, and very large
majority will tell you they shall cast their
votes for Douglas. Converse with our two
thousand policemen, and the ten thousand
clerks and laborers in the public offices of
our city, in the Custom House and Navy
Yard, and as far as they dare express an
opinion, it is in favor OF Douglas. Then 90
to our numerous ship yards, and among our
sailors and boatmen, into our ten thousand
manufacturing establishments, and listen to
the deep affirmative response that comes up
at the very mention of the name of Douglas.

From the tone OF the following para
graph, under the title of Pride and Exclu-
siveness," in the Boston Transcript, we
should guess that some one of the many
mutual admiration societies, among which
the First folks" of Boston are parcelled out,
has burst up. Which is it
at is reported that the proud Duke OF
Somerset never stopped to speak to ser
want, but signifed his wants by signs. His
children were not allowed to sit in his pres
ence. In his afternoon nap, one OF his
daughters was required to stand by him as
he slept. Lady Charlotte Seymour having
once, when very tired, violated this etiquette
he left her in his will $4,000 less than her
sister. His second wife once gave him an
affectionate and familiar tap with her fan.
my first duchess" said the august noble,
drawing himself haughtily up, "was Per-
cy, and she never would have taken such a
liberty" The only titled and noble>blood-
ed fool that ever excelled the Duke, as far
as our knowledge extends, was that Span,
ish hidalgo, who, having once fallen down,
Indignantly exclaimed, "this comes of walk

Died, at Faribault, Rice county, on the
10th inst. j Jean BAPT1srE FARIBAULT, aged
lightweight years, whose residence in Min
nesota dated back to period prior to the
commencement of the nineteenth century.
Mr.. Faribault was foreigner by birth, his
family being among the most respectable in
Lower Canada. He removed to this country
in 1898, more than sixty-two years ago, and
engaged in the trade with the Dakota or
Sioux Indians, in which vocation he con-
tinued until the infirmities of age obliged
him to retire from active life, to spend the
remainder of his life among his numerous
descendants, by all of whom he was beloved
and revered.
The descent into the tomb of this oldest
of the "old settlers" whose history, if it
could be correctly written, would afford
material for a valuable addition to that of
Minnesota and of the Northwest, is emf
nently suggestive, and should not be allowed
to pass with mere ordinary announcement.
He was probably the last survivor of those
of pure white blood, who personally wit
messed or participated in all the scenes
which have been enacted upon the soil of
what now constitutes our youthful State, for
more than half century. The writer of
this has been intimately acquainted with
the deceased for twenty-five years, and has
frequently heard from his lips, narration OF
the events connected with the early history
of the country, of which Mr.. Farbault had
vivid recollection. The tolls, the exposure,
and the perils incident to residence in a
region in the complete and undisturbed pos
session of naughty and savage race, it was
his lot to realize to their fullest extent. On
more than one occasion, did he suffer the
spolation of his hard-e earned property at
their hands, and once he barely escaped
with his life, the knife of furious Sioux
having been plunged into his body below
his shoulder blade, from the effects of which
wound he ever after experienced more or less
inconvenience.
Mr.. F. became we'll acquainted with Lieut..
Pike, when be visited the Upper MISSISSIPPI
pi with small body of soldiers in 1905,
and by his firm and judicious course, gave
to the tribes of the Northwest, the first en-
during impression of the resources and the
power of the United States Government.
When the erection of Fort Smelling began,
Mr.. F. resided at the mouth of the Mime
sofa river. He was subsequently prom-
nent actor in bringing about the different
treaties with the Dakota Indians, which re-
linquished to the whites the magnificent re-
gion embraced within our present State
boundaries.
Originally subject of Great Britain, Mr..
F. transferred his allegiance to the United
States, and to the end of his life he remained
thenceforth an ardent American in feeling,
and warm advocate of our institutions.
The old man has been gathered to his ia
theirs, and while the bereavement is deeply
felt by the large circle of his relatives, they
have the consolation of knowing, that hay
ing lived to ripe old age, he died, a firm
believer in the great doctrines of the Chris.
tan religion, and with well grounded hope
Of blssful Immortality. S.

The ordinary cost of constructing tele-
graphic lines in this country, according to
Prescott's History of the Electric Tele.
graph, is about $62 per mile. According
to the same authority, line properly con-
structed would cost about $3.50 per mile.
In England the cost is greater than with us,
the lines being more substantially built.
The cost of lines in France is about 5000
per mile, which gives durability ten times
as great as ours.

The CHLoRoFoRM CLUB.--This political
organization, composed of citizens opposed
t. the election of Lincoln, and got up for the
purpose of putting the Black Republican
aWide Awakes" to sleep, held their first
regular meeting in Brooklyn, New York,
last week. The organization is quite an
extensive one.
