The climate OF Northern Minnesota is ex-
ceedingly healthy, being dry, pure and
steady. The summers are simply delightful
with long twiIights and cool evenings. The
winters are about the same length as in
northern New York with the advantage Of
being more steady. The mercury runs per.
haps a little lower, but the cold is not as dis
agreeable or penetrating.

Taught by EXperience.

Three years ago Rev. J. w. Dunjie,
formerly connected with Bates Col
lege, then pastor Of a Freewill Baptist
Church, in Richmond, Va, identified
himself with a movement then under
taken in the South to divide the col
ored vote between the two political
parties. In accordance with his chang
ed views he published an address,
which was about equally divided be-
tween denouncing the party that had
up to that time been the firm cham
pion of his race, and urging his people
to follow him in espousing the South
ern cause.
His statement was thought to be SO
important that it was printed by the
Richmond Whig, and also issued by
the National Democratic Committee
as a campaign document. Many
Southern papers at that time spoke
highly of Mr.. Dunjie, as a man whose
opinions were worthy of consideration
and whose representations were trust
worthy. We invite such papers tc
further consideration of what actual
experience has led him to say. In al
open letter explaining his reasons fol
embracing the views that he did, ant
also detailing his experience since, h

Hancock at HOme-HiS S15, 100000

The General occupied sixty-four
acres Of land, worth, If it were sold

rCincinpati Gazette :

ready to the abilities of Gen
Snd e has served Ss pary aeaousiy and aithuy
But that he has rendered as important service to his
Groesbeck.
Will Mr.. Groesbeck be good enough
to point out the distinguished service
that Gen. Hancock rendered his coun-
try? We want bill of particulars.
Then we shall be able to compare
notes. Gen. Hancock was brave
soldier. So was Gen. Garfield, with
this difference: When Gen. Hancock
was sixteen years of age the govern
ment took him and educated him.
And since that time it has regularly
paid him for his services. He was a
regular member Of the army, and as
such he fought, and fought well, for
the Uuion. Gen. Garfield, on the 9TH
er hand, was one of the people; he
worked with his hands to secure mon
ey to pay for his education. When
the war broke out he was a poor man;
he had never held a government office;
he had wife and children to support;
he had not enjoyed the aristocratic
training of West Point, but he for
sock all and volunteered to defend the
flag, and well did he do it. He dis
tinguished himself as soldier. His
heart was in the cause and he was as
brave as he was loyal. As Gen. Dur
bin Ward said Saturday night, he was
the last man on horseback on the
bloody field Of Chickamauga. But
the least part of Gen. Garfield is the
soldier part, and that is equal to Gen.
Hancock, who has no part except that
of a soldier. As a statesman he has
made his mark. In that vocation he
has few equals and no superiors. He
has lived and acted in the presence OF
the American people, and it is amaz-
ing that such a man as Mr.. Groesbeck
can not estimate the services of such a
man above those of a mere soldier,
who, on the field, never rose above the
rank of division commander.

No! Mol WE do not sell auction or

| venture, however, to make special
mention of some of the principal
topics which are likely to become the
subjects of discussion. Without re-
viewing the controversies which have
been settled during the last twenty
years, and with no purpose or wish to
revive the passions of the late war,
it should be said that while Republi-
cans fully recognize, and will strenu-
ously defend all the rights retained by
the people, and all the rights reserved
to. the States, they reject the per-
nicious doctrine Of State supremacy
which so long crippled the functions
of the National Government, and, at
one time, brought the Union very
near to destruction.
They insist that the United State:
is Nation with ample powers of self
preservation; that its Constitution
and the laws made in pursuance there.
Of ''are the supreme law Of the land;

tradiction, that to-day there are thou
sands of colored persons in the peni-
tentiaries of the Southern States who
have never committed any crime, and
who are deprived Of their liberties, in
violation Of the Constitution Of the
United States. Thus we have no
guarantee here for life or liberty"
The school privileges for colored
children are then referred to, and
while saying nothing against these
schools in some of the large cities,
Mr.. Dunjie states that in the country
the situation is the worst possible. In
the portion of Alabama from which
he wrote there had been no school for
colored children for two years, and it
was his firm belief that "ln a few
years more there will be no provis-
ions for the education Of colored chill
dren in the South"
Speaking of the practice Of cheat
ing colored people by their employers,
who pay them for labor in household
goods he says:
II have Just looked over large
number of little account-books held
by these colored men. One OF these
men the name and residence are CIV

mon flannel, worth about 20 cents;
the same man was charged Is cents
for common prints, Is cents for dark
sugar, 20 cents for common yellow
cotton. Another man was charged
Sc for a piece of goods selling at the
stores for 81 So"
Is an exodus" of people thus abus-
ed strange thing? "If they had the
means" says Mr.. D., ''over a hundred
thousand colored people would leave
the South this fall. y
The writer of this letter did not dare
to make public his statements while
living in the South. He afirms that
it would have cost him his life to have
done so. Having recently come to
Pennsylvania Che is now the pastor Of
a Free Baptist Church in Harrisburg),
he makes known his experience,
part of which we have recorded. Con-
cerning the motives which actuated
him in 1876, or those which govern
him now, we do not attempt to ex-
press any opinion. But we firmly be-
lieve that the condition of the people
in the South, and of all who are iden-
titled with them, is quite as bad as he
represents it to be.
The Star is not political paper, but
it is enough concerned in President
making" to believe that the paramount
issue in the next campaign should be
the just and equal rights of all citi-
zens before the laws. To say that
that condition exists in the South to-
day is to say what is denied by as
black record of intimidation, assas-
sination and murder as can be found
in any country claiming to be free"

And then the Squire rode sadly on.
John watched him in amazement,
And, as he watched, two faces bright

The doctrines announced by the
Chicago Convention are not the tenn
porary devices of a party to attract
votes and carry an election. They
are deliberate convictions resulting
from a careful study Of the spirit Of
our institutions, the events of our his
tory. and the best impulses of our
people. In my Judgment these prin-
ciples should control the legislation
and administration of the Govern
ment. In any event they will guide
my conduct until experience points
out better way. If elected, it will
be my purpose to enforce strict obedi-
ence to the Constitution and the laws,
and to promote, as best | may, the
interest and honor Of the whole coun-
try, relying for support upon the wis
dom of Congress, the intelligence and
patriotism Of the people and the favor
of God. With great respect, am
very truly yours, ia. GARFIELD.
