THE LATEST NEWS,
RECEIVED BIZ
MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.
From Washington.

Special Dispatch to The NJ I. Tribune
WASHINGTON, Friday, Dee. 7, 1860.
THE TREASURY.
The weekly statement of the Treasury shows
worse condition than at any time since the hight
of the panic in 1857:
Recepts....... sGl978O 95 Drafts issued sI4ss4ss ~
Drafts paid.. l4sbiS % Net bslsuce.... iOso45 ~
beside this balance, there is 81, 5l6,s3i IS in
the Mint and its branches. The present receipts
frsm all quarters are less than One-half OF the
recent expenditure.
WAYS AND MEANS.
The Committee on Ways and Means will meet
tomorrow to consider what form aud what man
ncr of relief shall be meted. Tho first question
viii be whether to convert the ST., OO9,00 of
uncanceled loan into Treasury Notes and to give
tie Secretary TIE Sl0,0O0,0O0 additional ~
asked in his report, or 10 make thorough in.
vestigaton of tue Treasury, and provide at once
for its full wants. The probability is that shs
urgency will recommend she former course "a 10
temporary expenses, and to meet the most
pressing liabilities which are now daily reached
ut the Department. There will be about
Sl,500, COO due for interest ON public indebted
ness on the LIST of January, which must be pnd
IN coin. Unless relief is obtained promptly, 30
that the small payments into the Treasury in
gold may be reserved for that purposes the Sec
rotary viii be compelled 10 apply to the Mint
for funds. Some members OF the House of Rep
rcseltatv's were sharp enough to get tho
Speakers certificates tor pay aud mileage, and
| present them personally at the Treasury instead
| of collecting them through the Sergeant Arms
thus securing their own dues, while others
have been denied even the pro-rata, the Secre-
,ary already acknowledging an exhaustion Of
means.

Reverend Politicians.

Let a clergyman say word in favor Of
freedom OF Abraham Lincoln, and Instant
y he is assaulted by every Democratic pa
per in the country. But if q minister of
the gospel advocates bondage or denounces
the Republican candidates, his language is
copied with appreciation by every rro-sla-
very journal Of the land.
When Senator Colquitt, Henry A. Muh-
lenburg and J. Clancy Jones proclaimed
Democracy and occupied the pulpit, and
finally abandoned the pulpit for political
position, the thunder Of these journals vas
silent; but just now the Pioree,I bud 9TH

made npon: Mr.. Lincoln BY the Rev'd Pc

meeting in Illinois. Poor old Peter was q
man in his day, but like the Democratic

Lake Superior Rail Road.

We are just informed by an Intelligent
gentleman Of Lake Superior, that the con-
templated Rail Road, as surveyed from St.
Paul to the Lake, is about 200 miles in
length. If this be true, we respectfully
ask the managers why they do not run
their road by way Of St. Cloud? They
would add but twenty miles TO the distance,
and by the time Of its completion would
secure revenue Of 100000 per anuum,
between this point and St. Paul or SUPERB
or, whereas the projected road passes thro'
a wilderness.
Capital and political management may
delay the development Of the Northern
two-thirds Of Minnesota; but gentlemen
the day will come when you shall have to
do us justice. We have As good an agri-
cultural country as decks the face Of the
globe, and in little time it will be crowd
ed and cultivated by million Of frecmen.
We shall then have a railroad from the
Lakes via St. Cloud, Sank Valley and
Breckenridge to Oregon, and you have now
an opportunity Of making $50 to 140 miles
Of your road portion Of this great thor
oughfare. To day we plead for our rights
and your interests; you can delay the for
mer and fling away the latter. But few
years will see US in position to demand
justice, and with the aid Of Sank Valley
and those interested at the Lake, to build
our own Railroads and paddle our own ca
noe.
Our middle aged men will live to see
this point the center Of our State popula-
ton, and the seat Of Government. Capt.
talists and politicians may take advantage
Of our future prosperity fthey will. They
may delay but cannot defeat it.

Douglas and thu uaion.

Senator Douglas ptoclains himself n the
special champion Of the Ulion, aud de-.
nounees Lincoln and .Breekiinridee Is tn.
representatives Of sectional and disuuion
parties. 1t is customary ITO judge man
by the company no keeps" and in order to
illustrate his true position, wc clip the fol.
lowing from the Southern Contsderacy, a
leading Douglas paper published in Geor-
gia. In reply to question Of his own
asking, "What will the South do if Abra.
ham Lincoln is eleeted?" the editor saws :
1--WE answer this interrogatory by simp-
ly stating that the South will never permit
Abraham Lincoln to be in4uguratcd Pres
ident OF the United States. Thu. i. SET
tied and sealed fact. 1t is the dctern,ina-
ton Of all parties at the South. And let
the consequences be what they may
whether the Potomac is cri.ns"netl IN hu-
man gore, and Pennsylvania Avenue /.
paced ten futhones IN depth .oith n,angled
bodies, or whether the last vestige Of Lib
erty is swept from the American continent,
the South, the loyal South, the constitu-
tional South, will never submit to such hu-
initiation and degradation as the inaugura-
ton of Abraham Lincoln"
And we answer the question by saying
that Lincoln is bound to be elected, and
that those who elect him will see to his in
auguration. The voters of the South are
not all fools by long shot, and when fair
ly outvoted, their masses will yield, as mi
norities have always done. The Potomac
won't change its color neither, nor will the
travel on Pennsylvania Avenue be at all
interrupted, unless it to necessary to give
a dozen or two such bathrooms as this Doug
las editor hemp elevation, as a warning
to traitors. But it is more than probable
that even he would escape upon the plea
Of insanity.

St. Cloud Democrat. [volume] (Saint Cloud, Stearns County, Minn.) 1858-1866, 1860-08-30
The Land Sales.

Hundreds of our citizens who have new
er voted any other than the Democratic
ticket, and who arc now ardently support
ing Douglas; are loud in their curses Of
Buchanan, for placing the public lands in
market; and unless relieved by a miracle
many of them will lose their homes.
These men know or ought to know, that
Douglas could have carried the Homestead
Bill over the Presidential Veto, had he
been in his seat and cxerted himself for its
passage as he ought to have done. They
know that the Republicans Of the lower
house passed another bill postponing the
Gales of all public lands for ten years, and
Douglas could have pushed that measure
through the Senate; but he was silent as
the grave. Indeed he made no speeches
in the Senate during the entire Session, if
We except those that were devoted to "My
great principle" and Stephen A. Douglas
for President.
Then look at the National Platform upon
which he is now running, and which the
Democratic papers OF Minnesota dare not
publish That platform is full Of niger
ism, but contains not a word about Home
stead bill. Douglas has sacrificed his man
hood, and is just as much owned by the
South as Breckenridge, and neither Of them
dare to, advocate free homes for free men,
or the Negro-drivers would "drop them
ike hot potatoe."
Sane men who ever expect to secure this
great measure, will vote for "Honest Old
Abe" and support the whole Republican
ticket. He stands squaEely upon the Chi
sago Platform, which fully pledges him
md the party to liberal homest<a d law ;
and denouuces the sales Of the public lands.
And let it be remembered that every Re-
publican member in both houses Of Con-
= g'ess, when this matter was under consid-
: slation, voted in favor Of the people and
against the Aristocracy Of the South.
St. Cloud Democrat. [volume] (Saint Cloud, Stearns County, Minn.) 1858-1866, 1860-08-30

Turn out, all you farmers who have pre-
empted small portion Of this goodly her.
itage, and see your possessions sold. You
have improved your lands sufficiently to
render them desirable and saleable; and
as the Democratic party need money to
prosecute the political campaign, you must
dance to the music. Sale positive, and no
postponement on account Of weather or dis
tress caused. Four and halt millions of
acres must be sold. These will be the
lveliest Democratic meetings ever held in
Minnesota.
The above kit is from the !Siz,oater
II ssenger, edited by A. ]. Vau Worries,
ESQ.,, the Republican candidate for Clerk
Of the Supreme Court. 1t is truthful and
to the point. The Messenger is one Of the
best papers in the State, and We trust that
Van will be elected by an overwhelming
majority. A portion Of our delegation op-
posed his nomination because they deemed
it improper to confer two State Offices up
on one county; but the entire delegation
admire the editor aud the man, and will
SEQ to it that he polls the full Republican
vote OF Northern Minnesota. ..,5,

IL Douglas a Know-Nothing

Tho following article from the Pioneer,
looks rather suspicious:
"The Douglas Democratic State Convcn-
ton re-assembled at Syracuse, N. Y, on
the 10th, and after adjournine from time
to time to allow the Committee on Electo.
ral Ticket to complete their labors, finally
selected full ticket which is satisfactory
to the Committee Of the Bell and Everett
party, who have been preeent during the
entire session negotiating for representa-.
ton Of the ticket that would bring to it the
support of the Americans Of the State. -
O~c-thtrd Of the electors are members Of
the american Organization"
And this is but repetition Of what is
occurring wherever there is Know-Noth-
ing organization. In Kentucky, North
Carolina, Louisiana the Douglas forces and
Know-Nothings have joined hands and are
cordially working together. This they
have right to do, and "Old Abe" will
fog the brace Of them At that, 80 badly
that they won't know themselves. But
we refer % this matter for the purpose Of
asking the six hundred German Douglas
men Of 6tearns County, how they like this
nice little Know.Nothing arrangement Of
their candidate. We also remind the
Douglas leaders of Minnesota that for yearl
they have been branding the Republican
