Dakota Correspondence.
YANKroN, D. T., Aug. 18th, '62.

The Delegate question has already been
thoroughly canvassed in the Territory,
and the minds Of the people are made up
not to sustain Bill Jayne, Surveyor Gen.
eral Hill, and their two subsidized sate-
li,es, Bloriating sweNhead, Lamson,
and the false hearted hay contractor,
Edmunds. The people are thoroughly
aroused to sense Of their duty, interest
and honor; and will demonstrate the fact
by depositing their ballots on the first
Monday OF September for the earnest and
tried friend Of the Territory, J. B. S.
Todd. The bona tide residents of the
Territory are determined to administer a
lasting rebuke to dishonest officials who
have thus far tried to rule them with the
iron hand Of despotism. The time has come
when the people are determined to de.
monstate beyond a doubt, that there is
one thing they can and will control, and
that is the election of Delegate to Con-
gress who has common interest with
them. and who is one Of the first residents
Of the Territory, and whose every act has
| demonstrated him to be the true and de-.
voted friend Of the Territory. The old
settlers Of the Territory know the man
who has been with them from the earliest
dawn Of Dakotas existence.
Who but j. b. s. Todd was the active
and energetic individual in procuring'the
Treaty with the Yankton Indians, by
which the Territory was opened for settle
ment3 Who but the same individual lent
his efforts to procure the organization of
the Territory! Did William Jayne, g. D.
Hill, or any Of those who are now sus-
tanning Gov. Jayne? The answer is, No.
The man who stood by US in our infancy
was J. b. S. Todd, and the man that we
wiil stand by, now in Our manhood, 10 J.
B. s. Todd.
Wha; has Gov Jayne done to commend
him to the favorable consideration vf the
voters Of Dakota Territory? Can any
man answer? Oh, yes he brought out
from suckerdom that worst of suckers,
Phesenden, who has been kind enough to
survey our lands in Dakota, pocket the
money that our Delegate, j.. b. S. Todd,
labored to have appropriated for the ben.
eft Of Dakota Territory, and taken the
same back to Illinois He also brought
private Secretary from Sioux City to carry
messages to the Legislature. He also
found favorlte in Sioux City and made
him I'd Lieutenant in the Dakota Cavalry.
He and friend 3urleigh also found suit
able person in Sioux City for trader on
the \ lank,on Reserve. He also vetoed q
number of apporlionment bills to prevent
the people OF the respective counties from
handling any more money than he could
help. lie also refused to sign memorial
praying Congress to change the Organic
Act so as to give the Governor only the
usual two third veto power, so that he
might be able to prevent the people from
accomplishing their desires through their
Legislators. He (when the House of
Representatives were not willing TO be
governed by him nor his dupe) attempted
TO coerce them into obedience, by station
ing an armed body Of meu over them
Now, while every act of his is thus defn-
ed as the act of tyrant, can be call
upon the honest citizens of Dakota to
rule them with a more despotic hand -
The people say he has called but they
cannot answer. They cannot sustain a
man whose every act has been at war
with their interests. They will aot elect
. man who has failed to sanction laws the
most wholesome, and who has imposed
outsiders upon them to the exclusion of
competent residents.
The oH39pen wsd4nd taking an active
part for Bill Janyes are the subsidized
satellites Of G. d. Hill. They are simply
trying to pay Gov. Jayne for applauding
and endorsing the old Surveyor General
in his annual message.
Jayne's friends say they have adopted

intend to stand
