A CANDID ADMISSION.

Mr.. Miller, who heads the "Old Abe"
Presidential ticket, made at Red Wing on
Monday evening the most insulting admis-
sion that could be made to the Swedc and
Norwegian Republicans Of this county. He
said he was an active "Know- Nothing'' in
Pennsylvania; that he joined that proscript-
i've order in tho night, that no took the oath
to prescribe the foreigner both on account
Of his birth place and religion; what excuse
did Mr.. Miller offer for this insult to tho
foreign born? That he might defeat Bigler
the Democratic candidate for Governor OF
Pennsylvania.
As il confident he was disgraecd by the
admission, he added in palliation that since
he took that oath he had violated it by pub.
licly voting for catholics and foreigners.-
We simply add that every leading Republi-
can was once leading Know Nothing, and
they were then hypocrites, and protesting
what they did not believe; or they are now
hypocritos, and if they were hypocrites then
it is safe to say they arc now. "Can the
leopard change his spots?"

WHAT WAS HE ABOUT.

Hon. WIN. Window has lately made the
remarkable admission, that he kneo nothing
of the bill appropFiating 5000, 600 per annum
for the carrying ola mail from st. Paul to
the Pacific; that he never. heard Of it, and
would like to learn about it. We have
known for more than a year that Mr.. VIM
dom was =. "Know Nothing" but why he
should know nothing Of this important
measure to this State, is to every body a
wonderful surprise. lie better said he op-
posed it from principle, than to say he new
er heard Of it. What was he about?
This mail route would have been the pre-
cursor Of the telegraphio line and Of the
Rail Road to the Pacific. No greater adj
vantage could have been secured to our State
than this. 1t would have proved the entering
wedge to the development Of this vast nortl,

TIE DISCUSSION.

The discussion between Messrs Andrews
IL Miller, Presidential Electors upon the
Democratic and Republican tickets was
largely attended, and the best Of feeling PFC
vailed. We have certainly just reason to
bc proud Of the gentlc1nanly conduct Of our
citizens, Of both parties. The Wide
Awakes, numbering 100, were out with
torches and made fine appearance, but We
must say, that the Little Giants numbering
IS presented a finer one. The uniform Of the
Little Giants is peculiarly adapted to torch
light PROFESSIONS and evening meetings.
The Wide Awakes as they passed the
Little Giants were heartily chcered, and
three cheers for the Little Giants as heartily
returned by the Wide Awakes. The utmos
good feeling characterized the conduct Of
the companies toward each other, and We
tender to the several officers and mcmbc r.
iof each our thanks Cor the existence and
preservation Of this feeling. The drill Of
the companies was commendablc to thei,
officers.
The discussion was free from personalities.
The speech Of Mr.. Andrews was dgnified,
eloquent and able. 1t was full Of sound
sense, and was forcib'y delivered. Mr..
Andrews made lasting and favorable i'm
preston of which he may we'll feel proud
The speech Of Mr.. Miller, lift can be called
a speech, was string of anecdotes, more
suited for lot of loafcrs around bar
room stove, than dignifsed discussion Of
grave and important political questions. in a
crisis so full Of difficulty and so portcntous
|ofevil as is this one now threatening the
country.
Mr.. Miller is a man of ability, and his
capacity would make his fortune in the
place made vacant by tho death Of Dan
Rice, yet VIC can wish hilna God speed
ifhe thinks the mode he has adopted the
best to convince tho: judgement Of his
political friends. He is evidently a warm
hearted man. and would DO social star
among the b,hoys. All we say to our citizens
is to ponder we'll the facts and arguments
you heard, and decide upon the grave issues
that separate the two parties of our State. Is
on-intervention best ? Is minding ones
own business wisest? # so, vote for
Douglas and tho. peoples right to govern
themselves.

the eternal right" BY nominating Mr.
Andrews, and raising this ISSUE tho Black
Republicans Of Massachusetts have broush,

Of their ticket, IS we learn from the LiJerator
Mr.. Garriso'ns paper a. follows:
In this Commonwealth, the nomination b,
the. Republican State Convention, as it's can
didate for Governor, Of John A. Andrews, i.
a cheering sign Of the times, not only be-
cause of his exemplary character and grea
moral worth, but particularly because h.
represents the highest phase Of political anti
slavery feeling as yet developed; thus show
ing that Massachusetts, takes no step back

SENATOR uoRGLAs IN NEW Yona

During Senator Douglas speech at Cliff:
ton Springs. N. Y, on tho 18th, some one
in the AUDIENCE asked permission to put
questions to the speaker, 10 whom Judge
Douglas replied: mo sir; can't ADM,
any man to interrupt my strain Of argument
No man has right to interfere with q
crowd of two thousand people for the pur.
pose Of gratifying his personal vanity."-
The question was subsequently sent to hi,u
in writing and was as follows: Have the
people in Territory the right, according te
the doctrine Of non. intervention, to abolish
or exclude slavery from tho territory while
in territorial condition."
TO this Mr.. Douglas said:

newing the custom it has excited in my DO
som no other feeling than that Of unmitiga
ted contempt, that they should pretend t
have doubts on tho subject.
Judge Douglas spoke at Syracuse, OF
the 18th Of September, to five acre lot full
|of Popular Sovereigns. His speech EN-
braccd some new argument on points mo-
before touched upon by him. He ex
planned that the difference between Popula,
Sovereignty, and Squater Sovereignty, wa.
that the latter is outside the Constitution
and in rebellion against the Federal Govern
ment, while Popular Sovereignty is inside
the Constitution and in obedience to the
Federal Government In answer to Re
publican he stated that Jefferson was Minis
ter to France when the ordinance Of l78;
was adopted, and knew nothing about il
till aterw ards, and that Jeferson's plan fol
the government of the territories. which
was adopted in 1884. was the fullest recoe
milton Of the right Of Popular Sovereignty
On the day following his Syracuse speech
Mr.. Douglas addressed crowd of abou
10000 people at Rochester. He presented
nc new features except on the Missouri
Compromis Q. He claimed that he had
always supported and upheld the Missouri
! Compromise SO long as the people Of thu
free States were willing to abide by it, ant
in 1S48 had introduced bill, which wa
passed by the Senate, extending the line t
the Pacific. The House rejected that bill
He claimed that if passed it would hav,
settled tho slavery agitation forever. H
charged that it had been defeated by tn
union of free sellers and Southern fire eaters
who had then combined against tho Mis-
souri, Compromise as they are now combined

in the cell all night, with two prostitutes

THE LAND SALES.

>~>-~'S OAAA/A/s~s
The people have endeavored by every sac
rifice to pay for their lands. They can Meth
er sell their produce to get the means to do
50, nor can they borrow the money for that
purpose; and they have therefore concluded
that the land sales ought not to take place
and in the back country through which we
have lately travelled, they boldly say that
If one hundred determined men should DELHI

Land District it will. not take place. 1t is
currently believed, that the Land Officers. il
Temporarily deprived Of their books, maps
and plats, would find it difficult to execute
Buchanan's writ Of ejcctment, by which
hard working men are to DO tarned out Of
their homes, and from their farms.
We hope and desire, and entreat that no
such high handed acts be committed. It
should only he the last resort. They should

get an audience With Mr.. Buchanan and his
cabinet, we have no doubt they would SO
cure IN indefinite postponcment Of the sales
at once. We fear our Congressman fail to
represent these things at Washington.
which if they did, would secure such a.post-
ponement. We urge our voters to hold these
neglcctfal Congressman to the responsibility
and proclaim by their votes that they are
unlaithful servants.
