| Correspondence Of the Pioneer and Democrat
The Democracy of this village had glo-
rious ii me yesterday evening. The Ante
lope brought up the Delegates from Nc
Leod and Carver counties, and Hon. John
L. Mcdonald, of Scott. The Little Gil
ants" of this place, turned out to meet them
with band of martial music, and escorted
them to their Hotel amidst the vociferous
huzzas of large and enthusiastic crowd
of citizens, who seemed proud to learn that
the Convention had nominated a live ticket,
and one that cannot fail to win. Delegates
who had left home in doubt, returned with
the most sanguine expectations and assu-
RANGES of victory. The interchanges of
local news, and friendly feeling between the
delegates, VIII lie at st. Paul the desire for
harmony, and the desire to make a long
pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether
and alb owe all, the unbounded enthusiasm
manifested for our brave and gallant leader,
Douglas, has had its salutary and telling
effect. 1t is felt with full force here.
Judge Mcdonald addressed the crowd at
length ON the political issues of the day.
Judge Warner, |. A. Sargent, Joseph
Weinmann, E. F. Lewis, and Col. Stevens
each warmed up enthusiasm to its highest
pitch. Capt. Louden sang campaign and
patriotic songs. Major Burners lead a
band of martial music, composed of Ii. W
Holmes, F. Demers and others, which emily
ened the proceedings with stirring strains.
Col. Stevens, who has been alternately
claimed by the disunionists and the Blacks,
without the least shadow of foundation
defined his position and solemnly declared
81 will nail the names of Douglas and
johnson to the masthead of the Glencoe
Register, and fight for the Union and non
Intervention, until the black flags of seces-
! sion and disunion, and abolition fanaticism.
IN ignominy, are hauled down, and Douglas
and johnson carried by a sweeping whirl-
wind of popular feeling and patriotism, into
the highest offices in the gift of the Amer-
can people" The whole crowd Immediately
burst forth into loud and prolonged cheers
for Doug las and Johnson--and three times
three for the gallant Colonel
Let Scott county look to her laurels or
Carver, may next Jay claim TO the title of
Banner County,
We have no doubt here but that Mime
sofa will cast her electoral vote for Doug
las, and this adds to the energies with which
we are all filled, and redoubles our efforts in
the good cause.
The nomination OF Mr.. Weinmann of
Carver comfy is good one. The honest
German farmers of this county will appre-
ciate the compliment paid him. and, always
true Democrats, will now contend with re.
newed energy and commendable pride
against the common enemy, and for the sue
cess of our ticket.
Mr.. Weinmann although now practicing
attorney, has but lately left the pillow, and
compares favoraby with our foremost poll
tical speakers. He isa staunch, answering,
uncompromsing, hard working Democrat,
and will give good account of himself dur
ingthe campaign.
Speeches, songs and music at the Baslers
Hall being over, Col. Stevens and Capt
Louden formed the citizens into line and
marched through the principal streets, 10
pay our respects to the Douglas pole erected
by the Little Giants" of Carver and sere-
made our leading citizens.
tell you we are alive in Carver, and.o
the 9th of November will thank God we are
alive to vote for Douglas and johnson.
Yours truly, A. b. {.
