MIR. DONNELLY IN DOUGLAS COUN.
TY.

OsAK1s, Oct. 21, 1863.
EDITOR JouRNAL.-We had a rous-
ing Republican meeting here to-day,
in behalf Of Hon. l. Donnelly, at IL
o'clock A. NJ. Adley's Hall was crowd.
ed and great many could not obtain
seats. Only ten hours notice was given
us. Had there'becn few days notice
of Mr.. Donnelly's willingness to speak
here, there would have been at least
five hundred persons present.
Mr.. Donnelly delivered a very able
and convincing speech, which was
loudly aprlaudcd.
At the conclusion of his address, the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted, amid rounds of cheers:
RESOLVED, That the thanks of this meet
ing be rendered to Hon. Ignatius Donnelly
for the able, earnest aud consistent man
ner in which he has advocated all measures
intended for the development of Northern
Minnesota and the State 1t large. He
has, We believe, in all cases been true to
the best interests of his constituents.
Resolued, That relying upon his un-
swerving devotion to the cause of Republi-
can liberty, upon his labors for the benefit
Of this portion Of Minnesota, and upon his
ability and experience as Member of Con-
gress, We are heartily in favor of his re-
election for the House.
Resoloed, That the course of the St.
Paul Press in it's unjustifable, bitter and
malicious attacks upon MIR. Donnelly, de-
serves the severe condemnation of every
true Republican in tho State, as tending to
cripple and disorganize the party.
The feeling throughout all this por-
ton Of the country is ia favor of
Mr.. Donnclly, and Andrews will scarce
ly get a half dozen votes ouf of the full
Republican strength. None of US want
to see a Democrat 60 to Congrgss from
Ibis District, and We understand that
that would be the result of voting for
Andrews.
STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN.

His speech was excellent, and the ef.

here. Mr.. G. showed up Gen. An

changes from one party to another, and
the position he now occupies as the
candidate of a disorganizing clique rum

candidate.
During the meeting, Minneapolis

and electioneers for Gen Andrews at
the same time, interrupted MIR. Gordon
several times, but he made 60 little
headway against the speakers points
and facts, that he was soon glad to keep
quiet. lie doubtless felt very much
like the Bull that was butted of

would rather Thousand times ses vii.

would not vote for the latter if he had
received the unanimous nomination of
a full Convention. Such men as these.
from Washburn's home, talking 10 this
way, put US on our guard as to what
the real purpose Of the Andrews move

here who will 60 with them. A great

WHO VOTE FOR GRANT, AND WHO
FOR SEYMOUR4

EDITOR JOURNAL vote was ta-
ken in Que Of the cars that pssscd
through Austin, Minn., on Monday,
the 10Th inst, at the breaking up Of
tho General Conference of the Cougre-
gational churches of Minnesota, on the
Presidential question. In this Car Of
course were many of the returning
members Of the conference, together
with some other passengers. The re.
suit of the vote was, 80 for Grant and
Coltax, and 2 for Seymour and Blair.
Afterwards vote was taken among the
ladies in the car, and the vote was all
tor Grant and Colfax except one old
woman who was 50 deaf that she could
not understand the question, and it was
claimed that even she would have voted
for Grant if she had known what was
going on!
Another vote on the same question
was taken tho other day on a steam
boat containing a "General conference
Of the Plug Uglies" Of Baltimore with
a different result.
"a prize fight between a rough from
New York and one from Baltimore,
took place on the Isle Of Shoals last
week. 1t is an interesting fact, and
one not quite without significance, that
a vote taken on the steamer on which
the infamous crowd went down from
Baltimore to witness the brutal specta-
Gle, indicated the choice of the party
tor the first officers of the nation to be
as follows: for Seymour and Blair l66,
for Grant and Colfax 3.
The man who during the war found
his "friends" engaged in one of the
most infamous riots that ever disgraced
American civilization, and assured
them of his sympathy, would have felt
himself as much at home and as well
supported By the mob on board that
steamer as he did in New York when
face to face with those brutal rioters.
These Two votes are very significant,
and should rouse the energies Of all the
friends Of order and good government
to meet the great contest Of November.
While some men carry their politics
into religion, let us carry our religion
into politics. x
