The stone Which the Builders Re
jected, the Same IL Become th,
Head OF the Corner.

The ultra radicalism of the Republican
Convention, which assembled here on the
9th, and put in nomination the most ex-
treme of the lnegro-worshippers in the
ranks of its party, was in nothing 80 dis
tinctly shown asin its rejection Of the reso-
luton offered by DR.. WELCOME in support of
President JOHNSON conservative and pat
riotic measures for the restoration of the
country to its former condition and rela-
tionship. That resolution We ask our read
ers to examine and remember. It is as
follows:
Resolved That we recognize in the civil
and military acts OF Andrew johnson, as they
stand out before the world during the darkest
period of the nations trial, the fearless pat
riot, the able statesman, the honest man; and
that we pledge to bis wise and patriotic meas
ures Tor the restoration OF the Union, our cor
dial support
The feature in President JoHNsoNs re-
construction policy to which the niger
equalizers object, is that which prohibits
the darkey from voting. Of course, there
fore, the nigger-equalizers cannot sustain
the President. And not sustaining him,
they cannot, consistently vote for reso-
luton which does. But, the Presidents
polly, coinciding, as it does, with the
Democratic idea, can be sustained by
Democrats; and we are grati6ed that the
Democratic State Convention exhibited
the patriotism of the party by an unquali-
fed endorsement of the patriotic acts OF
the President; and that, to make such
endorsement more effective and emphatic,
it passed, without dissent, the very same
resolution which the fanatica negro Re
publicans had the day before insultingly
laid on the table.
This resolution involves the great ques-
ton at issue now between Conservatism
and kadicalism The Conservatives sus-
tain JOHNSON in his policy, and the masses
OF the people are conservative. Our Re-
publican friends will find, to their sorrow,
that the stone which the Radical builders
rejected, the same is become the head of
the Democratic corner.

party from utter humiliation. But Presi-

The issue has been already opened.
The war of the radicals against JOHNSON
and his supporters has commenced. There
is no averting the conflict. 1t is apparent
everywhere in the country. This issue,
with the negro suffrage question, States
rights, and the rights of the laboring white
people, divides the voters in the approach.

The nomination Of HRHRY NJ RICE fur
nishes the opportunity, which thousands
in our State have desired, for aunion npon
single Hcket Of all the conservative ele-
ments Of the State. It enables all who
desire to sustain the hands of President
JOHNSON, in his patriotic efforts to reor-
ganise the South, and make Us again an
united people, to do SO, without compro-
missing their manhood by placing them
selves upon political and social equality
with an ignorant and inferior race. And
this opportunity, thus longed for, will be
heartily embraced. The nigger-equalizing
ticket, headed by Gen. MARSHALL, will be
supported by those who believe niger
to be as good as a white man, and who
are willing to 60 to the polls with him as
an equal, and to sit at his table as guest.
And it viii be supported by none other.
The issue is fairly and distinctly made in
the two platforms, and the two platforms
find their proper representatives in the two
candidates. The radical who believes in
niger equality, we say, will vote for Gen.
MARSHALL; the elector who believes that
Con meant something when He made the
negro black, and invested him with infe-
rior attributes, and who believes with the
founders of our government that it was
created for, and SHOULD be administered
by, the superior white race who inhabit
the land, will vote for HENRY M. RIoE.
Two-thirds Of our people believe with Mr..
R,CE on this point, and that is just about
the measure of the support which he will
receive at the polls in November.
The following correspondence between
the Committee appointed by the Conven-
ton and Mr.. RICE, furnishes the crafty
ing intelligence Of his acceptance, and the
patriotic considerations by which he is
governed:
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Sept z, 1865.
Hon. Henry II. Rice:
DEAR Sur: The Democratic State Conven-
ton, which closed its labors this day, nomi-
mated yourself as the candidate of the Democra-
cy for Governor in the ensuing canvass with
unanimity which is an encouraging auguy of
success. The undersigned we're appointed a
Committee to inform you of the nomination.
Yours respectfully,
A. j. REED,

q present Is stationed st Fort Smelling q
Rresidsnt Of tho court martial now in ses-
son y that post. He Is eminently quali-
fed for the position to which he has been
nominated, and We confidently look for
his election.
Mr.. Frank HYDRRsrADr, of Scott
county, was nominated for State Treas
urer BY acclamation. We have not the
pleasure of personal acquaintance with
Mr.. HYDERsrADr, but learn that he is an
educated gentleman Of wealth and stand
ing, and one that enjoys the confidence
and esteem Of, not only the Germans, but
also Of large proportion Of our citizens
throughout the State. He is an honest,
capable man for the Office, and win make
our friend CHARLIE SGHRRFKR tremble in
his boots before the canvass is over
The last man upon our ticket is VIM.
LooHREN, of Hennepin county, for the
Office Of Attorney General. Aside from
other considerations, we claim that it is
the duty Of our citizens for selfinterested
motives to elect Mr.. LooHREN to this Office.
Mr.. LooHREN is an able lawyer, few MEM
bers of the bar in Minnesota ranking
higher for splendid legal attainments. He
entered the service of his country as a pri-
vate, and rejecting all offers of promo
ton, CALAMITY carried his musket with the
rank and file for three years. This Office
in its immediate effect upon the interests
of our young State is the most important
upon our ticket, and should be filed
by sound lawyer. Questions in
volving thousands of dollars to the State
will have to be adjudicated during the
next term of this office, and we ask any
candid man whether Democrat or Repub-
lican, if they would feel safe to entrust
such weighty interests ia the hands of WIN.
CoLvMLE, gentleman who we venture to
say has not tried case, in Justice Court
even, for the past five years, if he ever
has at all. He is about as well qualified
for that position as be is for President of
the United States, and stands about an
equal chance, Of the tax payers Of Mime
sofa do their duty) to obtain the one posi-
ton as the other. Mr.. LocaRsN on the
contrary is an able, weal-read, practical
lawyer and stands high with the profess

whelming vote. .., - ga.a-
Voters of Minnesota! sach is tbe ticket
we have placed in nossinstioa, and for
which we ask yeur sufrseee. Better men
for the respective positions were never
placed before you, and we have an
abiding faith that the ides of November
will ratify the nominations in electing the
entire ticket by such majority as viii for
ever place the seal Of condemnation upon
the "clique," which, under the name of
"loyalty, has controlled the State for the
past six years, for purposes of self-aggran-
dizement, at the expense of the taxpayers

The Republican Nominees.

With degree Of complaisance which
we hardly hoped for, at the hands of the
Republican State Convention, our favorite
candidate to beat was placed in nomina-
ton Tor GoAernor. On the twenty-second
ballot, and after the race had been run
quite evenly between Gen. MARSHALL and
Col. AvRRuI, the former received sixty
eight votes to the latter's fifty, and was
declared the gubernatorial nominee.
As citizens, the three gentlemen who
were candidates before the convention.
enjoy good repute; and in respect to the
private virtues, Gen. MARSHALL does not
stand below either of his competitors.
We cheerfully accord to Gen. MARSHALL
this measure of justice-that in his private
life he is above reproach, and that as a
politician he is earnest and sincere. The
latter he could not help being, from the
very structure of bis mind. He is fan
attic in every instinct and element of his
character; and such men, while they may
be opposed for their errors, or ridiculed
for their absurdities, can never be
stigmatized for their dishonesty
As military man, we know
little, save that which Gen. NAE
SHALL has himself written, in the way of
editorial correspondence, to his paper.
According to these writings, few Drawer
men ever snuffed the smoke of battle.
He has been, according to his own testi-
mony, the hero of every engagement in
which he has participated, and he has de-
scribed his own valor with a most crafty
ing self-consciousness of the fact. How
far this self-estimate may be shared by his
associate officers and soldiers, their
votes win tell in November more
truly than We can now. Suffice
it for the present to say, that we do not
believe his strength at the polls viii be /
found to consist in bis military repute, but
rather in bis political fanaticism. Here
he is strong. because he represents more
truly than almost any other man, the most
extreme, fanatical, nigger-equalizing ele-
ment Of the Republican party--which ele-
ment represents the majority Of the party
in the State, as it did, also, the majority of
the State Convention. Fa

The failure Of the Repu blican Conven-
ton to renominate Hon. GORDON E. COLE,
as Attorney General, is disgrace to the
party-especially 80 when his successful
opponent is so utterly incompetent to per-
form the duties Of the Office. We have
never been chary in our commentator of
Col CoLvnLH's military services, and have
no objection to their appropriate recogni-
ton by the Republicans but to elevate
him to the Office of Attorney General is to
commit grievous wrong upon the public.
He is unified for the position in every
respect, and it will be misfortune to the
State if he is elected.

Every gentleman whose name is. men,
toned in the supplemental report of the
Committee on Credentials was present,
additional to those mentioned in the re-
port of the committee on the 10th of
August. We admit that in point of num-
bers the Republican Convention was the
largest, fact easily accounted for. FIRST
the contest for the office of Governor was
warmly contested one. and each candidate
marshalled his entire force. Money was
sent to all parts Of the State to pay ex-
penses of Delegates in order to insure their
attendance. Thus many oonnties were
represented that would otherwise have
been without Delegates. Secondly; a
glance at the list of Delegates viii suffice
to show that great majority of those who
were not induced to attend by having their
expenses paid were Office holders who have
fattened upon the spoils Of Office, at the
expense of the taxpayers of the State.
Lastly, IN order to swell the numbers,
Delegates we're admitted from military
organizations, even extending to niger
regiment in Tennessee. With all the ex-
element of a hotly contested strife for the
gubernatorial nominee, the lavish sxpendi-
ture Of money and interested motives of
ofice-holders and ofice-seekers, less than
one hundred Delegates were actually pres
ent-several counties being represented
by one or two men who cast the full vote
of the county in accordance with reso
luton Of the respective County Oonven-
tons. The Democratic Convention had
an aggregate of about seventy members,
who were actually present, representing
every county in the State except some
three or four of the most remote.
