The latest news from New Ulm IA 10 Sat

up.
An arrival from Crows Wing direct brings
intelligence that "ilole.in.thc-Day, the
great Chippewa Chief, has issued procla.
nation that he would not DO responsible for
the conduct OF tho Indians after Tuesday,
and warning the whites to leave the country
before that time. "llole.in the Day" sends
q dispatch to Commissioner Dole and Judge
Cooper to como and make treaty.
The Chippewa agent, Walker. agains,
whom complaints have been made by the
Chippcwas, is said to have committed suicide
in fit OF insanity.
The Chippewa difficulty following 70 close

Tho northern part Of the State is making

Tho people arc tho Rui,ng Power.

In the last Maine Democrat We find the
following. Here TIE PEOPLE ARE TIE RuL-
mo rowKR. They can shape tho policy OF
Government at their will"
This sentiment has our most cordial en-
dorsement. We believe that 1.-THE people
are the ruling power" and when they. in
constitutional manner, at the ballot box, ex-
press the manner in which they desire the
policy of the Government to be shaped, 1t is
the duty of all good citizens to acquiesce in
that decision, otherwise there is an end OF
Republican government.
But what is the present condition OF this
country. Have not the Southern Rebels
practically and cOntemptuously refused the
doctrine that "the people are the ruling
power" that "they can shape the policy Of
Government at their will?" And are they
not at this time resisting this plain truth
with armed forccT
When this doctrine Is thus attacked aud
resisted what is the plain duty Of every well
wisher Of his country. Is il not to rally to
the support of its constitutional government
and give his vote. his influence and all that
he has in tho direction that will toll with
the most potency against treason and rebel
lion? Is it the part of wisdOm,-nOt to say
Of patriOtisn.-is it living up to the scnti'
ment that "the people are the ruling power"
that "they can shape the policy of Govern
ment a. their WILL" for a public Journal,
when the peoples Government is struggling
70 maintain itself against those who, with
armed force, rcsis, the majesty Of "ruE rpo-
PIE" 10 attack that Government, resist and
oppose ii, and talk as openly and boldly IN
favor Of traitors In arms, and give them oil
the aid and comfort by excusins their wicked
course and by attempts to bring tho constr
tutcd authorities into disrcpute, Us tho lati-
sudo in which i. is published will allow'
Let "ths people" Sc to il that tho ma,cs-
tyOf their will is respected; that rebellion
sput down, and constitutional government
prevails.
