Of Pemberton's scattered troops that could
be gathered together, he deemed it pru-

he did In good order.
At last accounts he had established
communications with the cavalry of Gen.

The utmost confidence is felt here that

DECLINATION,

1t is with sincere regret, that we pub
lish the following communication from Mr..
H. G. Burbank, declining the nomination
for Representative on the Union ticket.
We feel justified in saying that, had
his business engagements been such as to
have warranted him in accepting the nom
mutton, he would, undoubtedly, have been
elected by a Aattering majority. His pop
ularity as an energetic, thoroush-going
business man, would have united the votes
of all parties, while his experience in this
portion Of our State, eminently fitted him
for the position the votes Of his fellow cit
liens would have given him. Being no
ultra partisan, having the prosperity Of
our county ever before him, and being
identically interested in its affairs, our To-
cal interests would have been in safe
hands. J.. .I;Ti =,

Allow me to say that in so doing you
show that you. have not been courteous
enough to read my paper-the Volunteer
land further that you DO me great
wrong. I hase-ncver been Of the Demo

publican in principle, and since the Or

ing out of this hell-bcgotten rebellion, an
ardent partizan Since then 1 have been,
and still am, under the conviction that
party quarrelling ought not to be- encour-

Your we1l-wisher,
JAMES H. PARKER,
Ed. Of Goodhue Volunteer.
We take pleasure in giving publication
to the above letter from Mr.. Parker. a.
an act Of justice to him, We had GER
tainly thought him Democrat though
such Democrat as we Can admire, liber-
al, Jealous and patriotic This error had
not arisen from a neglect to read the Tol-
unteer, which We consider among the most
valuable of our exchanges; but, if we re-.
member Alright, that paper was at one time
Democratic sheet, most probably under
the control of another editor. The fact
that there was an avowedly Republican
paper in Red Wing, connected with the
circumstance mentioned above, and Mr..
Parker's taking no party name, led to the
error. We supposed him Democrat who
had cast aside party feeling, and only ask
ed to be joined with those who were heart
ind soul for the suppression Of "this hell
begotten rebellion AS it is, he is Re-
publican,> imbued with these sentiments.
In this respect he is like the majority of
those who have. always been known by
this name. They are for "uniting the
people" in this great hour Of national per-
ii, casting aside, until this shall have been
accomplished, all the. bitterness and
division which marks party contests.
And the time has come when Democrat
and Republican are side by side IN the
struggle for the Union, confronting the
traitors in arms with loyal bayonets and
those at homc-thc coppcrheads and
peaceites-with loyal votes.
We had never thought MIR. Parker the
kind of Democrat who would support
such nominations as were made by the
Democratic State Convention. especially
when standing upon such PLATFORM
His paper proved him loyal and enthusi.
astic. And we are glad to publish his
letter to correct any misapprehensions
that may have arisen from our former ar
ticle. ~. "
