The Legislature.

Look to your legislative tickets. The
game now is to cover up Mcllrath's de-
faications; to explain away the terrible
revelations of the committee of inyesti-
cation. and to hide what has not yet
been laid bare.
Pick out your best men. Look out
for tricks. Vote for no man who trains
with the Republican party, or who will
not pledge himself publicly to keep out
of Republican caucuses. The enemy
will rope the green-horns into Republi-
can caucuses, and then convince then,
that the welfare Of their party is in
yolved in covering up the rascalitles Of
Republican office-ho!ders. Last winter
they carried through their absurd rail

Old abolitionists who had voted for
Fremont were found working side by
side, harmoniously, with hard-shell
Democrats. The common dangers
which threaten the liberties Of the
country had overwhelmed all smaller
considerations. In the District Con-
vention the rare sight was presented Of
a gentleman, Hon. W. w. McNA1R, re-
sisting proffered nomination, and in
sisting that another, Hon. E. NJ. Will
son, would poll more votes than he, Nc
NA1R, would. What contrast with that
bribed and purchased cabal, which cost
Bill King $4,000, and where each man
knew just what his neighbor had re-
ceived from the great corruptionist -
where not only the votes, bnt the
smiles, the cheers, the stampings Of the

THE CAMPAIGN IN THE SECOND
DISTRICT.

We are glad to be able to say that
Mr.. Cox is making splendid canvass
for Congress, against his silent, NOUS
ing, button-holing, money-spending
competitor. His speeches are winning
him golden opinions. His audiences
have been led to expect coarse TRADE
from bully and vulgarian; instead of
that, they are treated to gentlemanly
and able discourses.
We were in lie Sueur county last
week and were glad to find that Mr..
Cox S majority in that county is estima-
ted, by well informed gentlemen, at from
800 to 1000. If our old friend Green,
Of the lie Sueur Sentinel, would throw
his influence into the scale, as we trust
he will, that majority might be made
even greater.
All through the valley we found that
the people recognize the fact that Mr..
Cox laborcd last winter energetically.
for the improvement of the navigation
Of the Mississippi river; and they be-
lie,e that if be goes to Congress he will
never rest until he gets liberal appro-

| it last year by large majority; and
this year, we are informed, he will

District by vote Of two to one.
In the other parts of the District a
strong reaction is taking place in his
favor. The people feel that he has beer
unjustly prosecuted; they think tha
he re .eived the nomination fairly AMI
they see no reason Why he should no
be supported. The course of Judge
Mcdonald and Hon. Seagrave Smith, II
entering vigorously into the canvass II
his behalf, reflects great credit upo'
them and will be remembered hereafter

THE GREAT BURGLARY.-.AN
ALLEGORY.

Once upon time there dwelt in the
land a worthy old farmer, who was
familiarity known among the neighbors
as UNCLE SAMUEL. He owned a very
extensive farm, embracing thousands Of
acres ofprairie and timber and meadow;
and he hired many hundred servants.
Now it CHANGED that UNCLE SAMUEL $
servants were dishonest set of rogues,
and they conspired together against
him and Pilfered everything they could
lay their hands upon. They stole the
old mans wheat and oats and corn and
cattle, until at last, despite the great
crops he raised every year from his
fertile fields, poor old UNCLE SAMUEL
was badgered by tax-collectors and
money-lcnders until he was reduced
nigh to beggary.
Now it SO happened that to meet his
most pressing debts the old gentleman
had collected together, in his principal
farmhouse, large sum Of money.
Whereupon the dishonest servants met
in council and decided that they would
break into the house and steal the old
man S wealth; and that they would
claim that they took it to pay them.
selves greater rate of wages than they
had agreed to work for.
And so one dark night, while the
good old man was sound asleep, they
prled open the doors and windows and
entering bore off the money in triumph.

Uncle Samuel, and learning what was
| on foot, he gathered together his
friends and his children, and fell upon
the robbers where they were dividing
their spoils and surrounding captured
them, and made them disgorgc part Of
their plumber. Some of them were
heartily ashamed Of their conduct. and
gave back to the old man all they had
taken: others held on and declared the
money was theirs that they we're en-
titled to it; and that their work was
worth more than the wages they had
agreed to take.
Among the rest was one fellow who
was collared by the indignant old gen
tleman, just as ne was sneakings. away
