Fire il the lReor,

we ha'e ho lecture on cOpperneadlsm TO
preach now, as, perhaps might be inferred
from tho tito Of this article; but we have to
rejoice over the manifest disposition Of the
true democracy Of thu State, TO repudiate
the sham treason. stamped, disloyal blooded
concern that met at ST. Paul on the 26th
day Of August, and there, after having as
Pltzhold alleged voluntarily excluded from
their platform resolution of unconditional
loyalty; after having berated the Govern.

been noted for his foul. mouthed slander Of

able longer to restrain their indignation,
gave him the alternative to kneel down and

Who wouldn't rcpu1iate such concern I?
We repeat again. We rejoice to know that
the true democracy Of Minnesota is spurn-
ing this filthy thing from them. as they

their last resolution is clintchsr. Here it
is:
