other instrumcntalities of tyrany, NAV
flourish in certain depraved and dis
eased condition of society but they are
| ahhorrent to the normal sentiment of a
civilized, christian and free people, and
sooner or later, they must fall before the
march of liberal ideas, covering their
authors and advocates with disgrace and
opprobium.
The principle of the Conservative Par
ty of this county, is not as has been. false
Yascrlbed to it, sympathy with the reb-
els or with the rebellion, but respect for
the CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE, and
Tor all the rights which that instrument
guarantees, together with a profound
conviction, that if rights SO distinctly
and solemnly assured as these, can be
reckleSsly and lawlessly trampled under
foot, there can be no security or protec-
ton for any other rights in the commu-
nifty. The wrongs practiced upon rebels
in May, is, by an easy graduation of vio-
lence extended in the course of a few
months to the arrest and imprisonment
ofeight unimreached UNION MEN. The
spirit that would drive returning rebels
from their families and homes in June,
now drives men of the most unquestion-
ed and approved loyalty from the polls
in October. Where is this to end? Who
can claim exemption from or set limits
to this wild spirit of disorder and ruin :?
4 few months hence, it may be that the
Masons, or the Odd Fellows. or the Cath
olics or the Episcopalians, or the Sunday
Schools, or some other sect, order or in
terest, may become the victims of these
violent and unrestrained assaults Is
human nature so blind and selfish, that
it can never see wrong, unless it is itself
the immediate victim of that injustice?
All experience teaches that the rights of
every society are bound up in one COM
mon bond of copartnership, and that
there can be no security for any right in
that community, which habitually sets
at defiance its own FUNDAMENTAL
LAWS.

The Gu1uirul of R0scuIity.

The election, so far, at least, as this
Circuit is concerned, has been decided
by the popular voice in favor of the
Conservative candidates. Judge Ken
nedy and DoWney have both been elect
ed by handsome majorities.
jefferson gave Kennedy 15l majority :;
Hampshire, $50; Hardy, 200; Pendle-
ton, $50, reported. And this, notwith-
standing everything that political
knavery and deceit could devise to beat
them, was brought to bear
Berkeley gave Hall 7S6 majority,-so
say the Radicals, Morgan, AS. These
are the only counties in Circuit COM
posed Of six counties, that the learned
Attorney General could carry against
US. And he could not have carried these
two, but for the veriest rascality ever
carried on by any political party in any
country.
For instance: In Berkeley County, at
Martinsburg, before the day of election.
the Radicals had, through false repre-
sensations to Gen. Emory, induced that
officer to send a military force to that
county, only to aid the cicH authority to
Hreserre The peace, NOT to interfere IN Tie
election. These We're the explicit orders
given to Lieut.. Myers by his superior.
The day before the election, some of the
leading men, who had been always on
the Union side, issued card, calling
upon their people to come to the polls
and exercise that right most dear to ev-
cry freeman, the right Of suffrage. What
was the result: Why the military, be-
ing ordered to report to the civil author
thorlties, was put under the control Of
the Sheriff of the county, Mr.. John w.
Pitzer, strapping siX-footer, and a
Radical. Lieut.. Myers obeying his or
ders, was under the control of Mr.. Pit
ger, and was ordered by him to arrest
these true Union men, and put them in
prison. This was done in the most ap-
proved style known to military science.
ana these gentlemen, taken from Mei,.
homes, dctore they had q chance to rotc,
o11d a7orched through the streets Of Mr.
fussbatrg, amid the tetattts and .jeeys of the
ouezjoyed Radicals, to a place of safe
keeping, in order that Mr.. Hall might
not feel the weight of their influence
against him, and that all others who
We're disposed to vote their honest SEN
timents might thus be deferred from
voting for Mr.. Kennedy.

A serious accident occurred in the
town of Westport, Dane county, lately,
caused by the heating of the journal
of a separator during the operation OF
threshing. A young man named Nif-
fin, whose duty it was to oil the jour.
nal, opened the box and poured in some
kerosene oil, which no sooner struck
the heated iron, than it ignited, or rath
er exploded, throwing Niiiin back upon
the tumbling rod, and whirling him
about in such manner that he was
stripped and nearly killed. AT the
same time the flames of the burning
oil communicated to the straw heap,
and five stacks of oats, twenty tons OF
hay, the separator and shed, reaper
and other property were destroyed

Indian Treaty Signed.

A treaty OF peace has been signed
by Governor Newton Edmunds, Major
General Curtis, Brigader General Sui.
ly, Col. Taylor, Hon. Orrin Gunersey,
and Mr. Ried, Indian Commissioner,
on the part of the United States, and
the chiefs of the Minneconson tribe OF
Sioux Indians, after which interesting
ceremony, presents were given them,
but they are evidently not fully salts,
fed with the provisions of the treaty,
which imposes upon them an obliga-
ton to keep the peace with the white
man for twenty years, with the right
to cross their country, build roads
therein, and pass troops through
they were very obstinate at FIRST, and
were quite disposed to dispute the
right Of transit with the whites. They
say the white soldiers drive off their
game and cause the buffalo to disap-
pear, and to change their ranges and
feeding grounds. There is no doubt
that this is true, as where there were
plenty of buffalo only two years ago
none are to be found this season, and
the hunting grounds are changed.
Gen. Sibley stated to them that it was
entirely their own fault that brought
the soldiers there that the whites,
when allowed to pass peaceably
through the country, interfercd with
no one, but that the United States had
the entire right to pass its citizens
through any portion of the country,
and if any attempt at interference was
made, that right would be enforced /;
that they bring ruin upon themselves
by opposition, but would bring peace
by different course. If they had not
committed depredations, no soldiers
would have been there to disturb their
game. This decided course had its ef-
feet, and the point was yielded. Du-
ring the argument pending the execu-
ton of the treaty, Tah-ke-chah-horsh-
tay (The Lame Deer), in order to more
fully explain to the Commissioners the
barren condition of his country, sud-
denly deprived himself of his robe and
fixtures, letting them fall to the ground,
and in perfect state of nudity stood
before them, urging claim for the
benefit of his people. ....

ton, that 'ez longs there's niger,

sentiment, rhetoric, oratory, all of the
most stunning character to the Democ-

gans along the border is the de profnnd
of the orthodox Democrat. OF nothing
is he so apprehensive as his possible
equality with the negro. While other
white men are assured of their own
ability to maintain their supremacy as
white men, without imposing legal dis
abilities upon the black, the orthodox
Democrat rants and raves, eXpostulates
and demonstrates, and warns the peo-
pie that the negro, in an even race for
social position and political influence,
would come out UNNECESSARILY his SUI

Minnesota Central Railroad.

This important railroad is doing a
lucrative business. Long trains leave
daily for Shakopee and Fairbault. Two
passenger trains leave daily, ant
throughout the winter months will rur
in connection with stages to Rochester
thus constituting the shortest and best
route East. The distance from Fair.
bault to Rochester is forty-two miles,
and from Winona to Lacrosse, thirty
six miles. These gaps between the
railroads are supplied by stages. Thus
the two hundred miles of staging which
passengers had to undergo last year,
has been reduced to seventy-eight
miles-no great hinderance to winter
travelling.
