The election returns show thnt Ken tucky, Tennessee, Alabama and North Car olina, have all given handsome Democratic majorities. From Texas, the news is fa vorable to Houston (Independent) for Gov ernor. From Oregon, that the election is so very close that it was uncertain who was elected.—claimed for the Republicans by 30 majority. SENTINEL FOR THE CAMPAIGN* AND THE CAMPAIGN OF 1859. We will send the SESTINEL to all those wishing it during the campaign, commencing with the issue of our next number and the nomination of the Democratic ticket, and ending with the reception of the election returns, for forty cents to each subscriber for that length of time. It has become settled that the Democratic party, will carry the State this fall by a Urge majority. The adoption of a repudia tion platform and the nomination of a repu diation ticket by the Republicans has ren dered the complete repudiation of thai party, inevitable. There will be however a warm contest, in which many questions of great interest will be discussed and settled. Especially those affecting the future State policy in regard to the railroads and bank ing. On which subjects our readers will bear in mind, the Republican platform is al together inexplicit. There will also be some music about the returns sent on to elect Ramsey in 1857, and which the Board of Canvassers rejected. Which returns are now in existence, and can be shown to be entirely fictitious. As there are also two Congressmen to be elected, the present national issues, will also have to be discussed. We mean the issues which it is generally understood divide the Democratic and Republican parties, to wit:that The National measures of 1850 and 1854 Upon which questions, the Republican party of Minnesota is strangely silent but still ire suppose the campaign will be conducted on these issues. To be sure th«J the Repub licans will do their best to ignore the squat ter sovereignty question, as they have in their platform, but they will be held to the point Neither will our own county matters be uninteresting. .Since the last election, frauds and schemes to plunder the people—con sidering the amount of tax raised in this county—of a gigantic nature—have been de tected aud exposed in the ranks of the Re publican office-holders and corruptionists. These frauds as we shall show during the campaign, have been but partially uprooted and are still continued the parties to them having been let off, on simply dividing the plunder, disgorging not one-half they had stolen. Weshall show that they are still playingthesamegame. As they will come be• fore the people this fall for an endorsement of their conduct, we believe that all, whether Democrats or Republicans, feel an interest in having these matters clearly understood, and on these points the SENTINEL -can be depeni:d upon. It has no interest in cov ering up these things, and would not if it had, on the other hand, it.shall contain nothing but what can be proved from the re- On all these-subjects the SBSTINEL will be as usual bold, open and explicit, and neither fear nor favor shall cause it to dis- guise one iota of the truth. We, therefore, claim at the hands of our political friends, and of all those who desire a fair statement anddiscussion of all the issue* before the peop'e, assistance in increasing the cir culation ofour paper.through Goodhue coun ty, fully convinced that an enlarged sphere of usefulness on our part will by no means be derogatory to its interests. TIIR LAND SALES. In scarcely any one instance has theGovernor, Tresident displayed more foolish mis management than in the case of the Min nesota Land sales. A measure that he has persisted in, spite of the most earnest representations of our Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress, of the unainimou* sentiments of our people as expressed thro' the press, by petitions and through every medium by which* it has been possible to approach him, and in spite of the universally admitted fact, that the sales cannot, under the circumstances be produc'ive of any rev enue to Government, because, while there is no money to be obtained from even actual settlers, in payment for their claims, swarms of speculators stand ready to cover every vacant tract with land-warrants, as soon as it becomes subject to private entry. But the efforts that have been made in that be half have been so far successful, that the lands proclaimed for sale, have been limited to those lying on the route of the proposed railroads. More especially the people of this vicinity have reason to congratulate themselves upon the fact that the Lake Pepin Half-breed Tract," is not to be sold. It was embraced in the original draft of the proclamation, but on the representations, and at the request of Mr. Phelps, our Rep resentative in Congress, was s'ruck out. The lands covered by the proclamation, in this district are those on the route of the railroads, and between ranges 18 and 27 west. Comprising in all 36V Townships, the greater part of which—at least nine tenths—has already been pre-empted. So that the injury caused in consequence of the sale will not be so serious as in the other districts, but it will.siill prove a great hard ship to very many settlers, depriving them of their homes, of the result of years of labor. We still hope that the sales will not come off as we have not lieen able to learn that they have yet been adverti ed, and as very strenuous efforts are still being made to in duce the President to keep them out of market. WHAT SHALL WE DO Red Wing is quiet as Sunday. No teams in the streets. The men folks are all outthis harvesting, and it's too hot for women folks to circulate around. To be sure we nownesota, and then catch a glimpse of a fan waving behind a curtain, but that much is only an aggravation. The papers are entirely de void of news or of anything interesting.— The new books are flat and dull, and the old ones too heavy for the season. Every body is depressed and lieles", seeking for nothing but shade. The sky has been low ery for three days, but the clouds are too lazy to rain, or else find the water too com fortable to part with it. Lemonades and cigars bring no relief— what shall we all do Up on the prairies, tliey say, the breeze is rustling over the the wheat fields and tliro1 the corn. How beautiful is the grand swell of the green sward, rolling off until far awaj it mingles with and is lost in the sky. And those groves, like islands floating beautifully on the sea and the clouds, other islands, covered with verdure, only so distant that the foliage is indistinct and massed together. And the sweet-scented harvest fields. Tou can hear the cradles sliding gracefully thro the grain—the tinkling cow bells—the ceaseless hum of the bees and flies, and the gently rippling brook—all befitting, and harmonizing with, a tranquil frame of mind Out under hese influences, one no longer craves for excitement, and it is not tiresome to have nothing to do. We find an ea position without tossing or fretting the smoke from the cigar curls peacefully up wards and the mind is filled with the beau tiful and sentimental. So if you are tired and listless and de-chiera, pressed, here in town, as you always will be in such hot woather, with nothing to do,eration, betake yourself to the lovely praireis, and experience the miraculous and happy change will take place in all your feelings and sentiments, and philosophize if you will up on this and all the other wonderful harmo nies of nature. «». Wflf. D. PHILLIPS. It will be seen from the following, taken from the Constitution of the 2d inst., that Win. D. Phillips, now an agent at Wash iugton, formerly of this State, charged with counterfeiting the frank of Senator Doug las, was honorably acquitted after a fair and full investigation by a jury, at Washington, after an absence ntonlufivj minutes from the jury-box. The prosecution was looked upon at Washington as malicious, and intended to strike Judge Douglas through one of his warmest friends. Judge Douglas was a witness, and testified that "he had known Phillips several years during his holding an office in one of the Departments. Their ac quaintance had been of a kind character Defendant had been one of witnesses warm est friend?." (From the Constitution, Aug. 2.) WM. D. PHILLIM.—This gentleman, who was indicted at the last term of the crimi nal court for the District of Columbia on the charge of counterfeiting the frank of Sena tor Douglas, was yesterday put upon his trial, and was acquitted by the jury after an absence of five minutes from the jury box. The greatest objection the editor of the Sentinel c*n trump up against a majority of the candidates upon the Republican State ticket is, that he is not acquainted with them—that he does not know them. So far as this vicinity is concerned, that fact, well established, will prove an important advantage in their favor.—Republican. True as gospel. Like the Republican'* editor, the less they are known the better they arc liked.' After all, the Republican Convention did manifest somo discretion, and nowhere is it more apparent than in keeping their prominent men off their ticket. the The meanest thing we ever saw in is his constant assertion—an as sertion made openly in the Convention— that he was fairly elected over Gov. Sibley. This we consider is cowardly and pusillani mous in the extreme. If he was, he owed it to himself and to his party, and to theenough, people at large, to contest the election. If the Court should decide wrongfully against him, the evidence produced would have been submitted to the people—a tribunal in that case that would have done him ample jus tice.—Sentinel. We would suggest to our neighbor that the case is now submitted to the people Ramsey is l»3fore that tribunal, contesting his right to be Governor of Minnesota. If the Democracy propose to appear in defense, all they have to de is to re-nominate Sibley. If our neighbor is so well convinced that justice will be done at that tribunal he can not object. The Republicans desire it They challenge the Democracy to do it. Come, let us have a fair trial at the people's tribunal. Dare you re-nominate Sibley Republican. We would suggest to our neighbor, that it will be extremely difficult to try that Issue before the people, without some kind of evidence, which Gov. Ramsey, in de-proceeds clining to contest Gov. Sibley's election, has put it out of the power of both parties to produce. However, if the Republicanscan offer any evidence whatever in corroboration of Gov. Ramsey's charges, the Democracy are per fectly willing to take issue with them upon it, satisfied that they can show that every vote cast for Sibley was fairly and legally polled, and that all the votes favorable to Ramsey, which were excluded, were as they appeared to be upon their face, illegal and fraudulent. With regard to the nomination of Gov. Sibley, it is well known that it has been his determination from the beginning, not to ac cept a re nomination—but we can assure1 the Republican, if the unanimous voice of the Democratic party can induce him to ac-of cept it, Gov. Sibley will be nominated—and will beat your Ramsey non-committal ticket and platform so badly, that your favorite howl of fraud will be as mournful as the sound arising from the toombs. TT A RABU TBOUT.—Our trout-loving and unrivaled trout catching friend, R. Galla way, Esq., hooked from Trout Brook, near city, on Monday last, a speckled trout, which weighed twpjtmds fioe an I a half ounces, being the largest ever caught in .Min and challenging the product of any trout stream in the country.—l\otmr JJtmocrat. The Pioneer isn't posted altogether on trouting in this country. In the fall of 1853, John Banfill and Charles Rice, of St. Paul, caught a tour and a half pound trout, from Hay Creek, six miles back of this place. We saw in the pos ession of G. W. Bul lard, at Wacoota, in this county, in the win ter of 1855-6, just a dozen trout, weigh ing in the aggregate sixty pounds. They were selected from the result of one day's sport on Plum Creek, Wisconsin, and were sent to St. Louis. We ourselves have of ten had the startling pleasure of landing trout of two pounds and upwards from the streams of Minnesota and Wisconsin, and know where the places are now. A O II E O E ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP UAMMONIA. SEW YORK, Aug. 9. The steamship Hamtnonia has arrived.— She left Southampton on the 26th ult., and brings London papeis of that morning. The second edition of the London Tunes of Tuesday gives the preliminaries of the peace of Villalranca, as follows The two sovereigns of France and Aus tria will favor the creation ot an Italian con federation ihat confederation shall be un der the honorary Presidency of the Holy Father—the Pope. The Emperor of Austria cedes to the Emperor of France his rights in Lombardy, except the fortresses of Mantua and Pes which rights the Emperor of France will hand over to the King of .Sardinia. Venice forms part of the Italian Confed but remains under the crown of Austria. The Dukes of Tuscany and Modena. re turn under conditions granting a general amnesty. Both Emperors will ask the Pope to in-M troduce indispensable reforms. Full and complete amnesty granted to all SARDINIA.—Le Norde says that one of the first acts of the new Ministry will be to put an end to the present dictatorship, and frame an electoral bill applicable to Lombar dy. A dissolution will then take place in order to effect, in new Chambers, a complete fusion of Piedmont and Lombardy. The King will preside, and the Parliament will sit in alternate years at Turin and Milan. The Turin journals say that the army, reinf .reed by recruitments in Lombardy, is to be raised to 20U/.00 men. General Garibaldi has had a confidential interview with General Marmora at Bres cia, on the 15th. He stated that he had 15.0U0 men, and that his force continued to increase. He expressed confidence in the King of Sardinia not forsaking the Italian cause. A Milan letter in the London Times says Garibaldi is about to move to the Appe nines. There will be a gathering of 50, 0 volunteers in the Romagno, and Garibaldi's corps, added to that of Meczocapo, will form an army capable to secure the independence of central Italy, at least against any Roman or Neapolitan, forces. The Duke cf MalaKoff has been appoint ed Grand Chancellor of Legation, of honor. It is reported that about 2JO.O0O men will be. discharged from the army on renewable furlough, the advantage being that the gov ernment will have them still on hand, while their cost will be directed to other purposes. The wine accounts are unfavoaable. The Moniteur De La Flatle, the Govern ment organ says that Denmark has ceded the Island of St. Thomas to the United States. It is rumored that the Duke of Modena proposed to arm, 4,000 Austrian troops to enable him to enter his State, also that a division of the French army is to enter Par ma and Tuscany, and another corps the Ro man Legation, for the purpose of simply preserving order, and: allowing the free ex pression of public opinion. The municipality of Florence has formal ly expressod the desire of annexation to the Italian kingdom of Victor Emanuel, or that Tuscany be governed by a Prince of the House of Savoy. DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES. The following is a condensed view of the entire Platform of the National Democracy, as promulgated at Cincinnati, and which, then, as now, was broad enough, and strong for every Democrat in the land to stand upon and adhere to. That Platform declares 1. Confidence in the intelligence patriot ism and justice of the American people. 2. The limitation of the powers of the Federal Government. 3.

A clock is on exhibition in New York which not only does duty as a time-piece, but boils the coffee for the owner, and awakens him in time to drink it. Attached to the clock on the right side is a brass pla.e lying parallel with the tuble or shelf on which the clock is placed, and at the further end is a coffee pot, fixed upon frame with a spirit lamp underneath. Between the clock and the coffee pot is an alarm bell. The apparatus is thus used Suppose aper son wishes to rise and travel at 4 o'clock in the morning all ho has to do is to set an inner dial to that hour, while the outer clock dial indicates the true time. He also makes certain dispositions of the lighting apparatus. Precisely at 4 o'clock a lever is moved, which causes a drum to revolve against a friction match, the flame from which ignites the wick of the spirit lamp. In half an hour the coffee is ready, when another drum revolves, ignites another match, and lights a candle, and at the same time the figure of a monk pulls a rope and rings an alarm bell, effectually arouseng a sleeper.—New Yorkp p.r. ARRIVAL OF THE CALIFORNIA OVERLAND MAIL. St. Louis, Aug. 8. The Overland mail arrived last night. A fire occurred at Crescent City on the 9th loss $3O,00Q, New gold and silver mines, discovered in Washoe Valley, promise to pay well. Three arrivals from Victoria, within a week, brought upwards of $13,0 K) in gold and 300 passengers. The latest dates were to the, I2th Fraaer river had fallen suffic $3,000,000. An arrival from Oregon on the morning of the departure of the mail, brought advices indicating the election of Logan (Republican) to Congaess, by 20 to 30 majority. Advices fiom Salt Lake to the 13th state that a man named Bremer had been arretted at Oamp Floyd, having in his possession $8,000 in counterfeit government checks on the sub-treasury at St. Louis, most of which were ready to issue, with the exception of the signature of Col. Cnssman. The en graver was arrested in Salt Lake City, in whose fthop were found all the impliments and materials used in preparing the checks, together with a large bundle of unfilled checks. Horace Greeley had arrived at Salt Lake City. The Indians were committing depreda tions in Humboldt county also implicating the Mormons. BaisToii BILL."—According to the cor respondent of a Brattleboro paper, who has lately paid a visit to the Vermont State Prison, this once famous criminal is com-. pletely broken down: In the first shop we visited our atten tion was directed to the noted Bristol Bill, who is certainly the last man that one only acquainted with his history, would select as th'.' noted burglar, counterfeiter and prison breaker. His appearance is that of a bro ken down, feeble old man, emaciated and grey haired his countenance expresses a hopeless misery, and his whole appearance is calculated to excite the pity of those who see him. He looks neither to the right nor the left, not even giving to the visitor a glance of his cold grey eye. His work is smoothing off the snaths. I visited his cell, and found a number of books in it, and on his pillow lay a copy of the Bible. COL GRAHAM.—We are extremely grati fied to hear from different parts of the State that the name of this gentloman stand) prominent as a candidate for Congress. We do not know how it could be otherwise. Give us Christopher Graham, to run against Cyrus Aldrich, and the half-barrel of sweat will leak out mighty oily. Graham and Cavanaugh—them are our sentiments,— O'eorrc Rfgitlcr, REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. yield of the mines within aye™ hastoeJ five million loan H«cy, we all unite in a de- Relying upou the intelligence, patriotism and discriminating justice of the American people, we, the Delegates, of the Republican party, in State Convention assembled, submit to the enlightened judgment of the freemen of Minnesota, the following emphatic declaration of principles and resolutions: 1. We maintain the Union of the States, the rights of the States, and the liberties of the People. 2. Regarding slavery as a great moral and political evil, we oppose its extention beyond the States iu which it already exists—the re oppening of the African Slave Trade—a Slave Code for the Territories, and whilewe disclaim all interference with slavery where it already exists in the States, we demand the entire and unconditional divorce of the National Govern: inent from any participation in this "relic of barbaism." 3. We proscribe no man on account of his religion or place ot nativity we oppose any abridgement whatever of the right of naturali zation now secured by law to emigrants, andional all discrimination between native and natural ized citizens, whether by amendment of a State Constitution, as Massachusetts, or by Legisla tive or Congressional action and we resist with indignation, as our fathers did in 1812, the monstrous doctrine of the impressment of American citizens by foreign despotism, as re cently proclaimed by the present Administra tion. A We are in favor ef granting the public domain in limited quantities to be the free homes of freemen -lands for the landless versus niggers for the niggerlese and we bold the present Administration to a strict account ability for the defeat of the Homestead Bill in the last Congress. 5. We condemn the doctrine ot the Dred Scott decision as anti-Constitutional, anti-Re publican, incompatible with State Rights, aud as destructive of personal security. 6. We are in favor of immediate and effi cient National aid to the Pacific Rrilroad by the most practicable route. 7. We hold that Congress ought to protect the lives and property of our citizens by judi cious appropriations for Rivers and Harbors. 8. We are resolved to maintain the purity of the ballot-box, as the palladium of our liberties. To this end we will resist by every legitimate means in our power the frauds which, it is the avowed purpose of the corrupt dynas ty uow entieucUcd iu the stolen places of power this State, to perpetuate, and for their past iniquities as well as their proposed frauds, we hold them up for the reprobation of all patriots as conspirators against Liberty by their viola tion of its sacred ark—the ballot-box. 1. Resolved, That we condemn iu unmeas ured terms the reckless extravagance of the present corrupt and profligate JN'atioual Ad ministration—its auti-Democratic issue otshii: plasteis—its veuality in the awardinent4ol public contracts—its proclivity to create a inouuia.u of public debt—its punic faith iu the affairs of Kans is—its repudiation ot "homes lor theWatches, iouieless—its duplicty on the Pacific Rail road, its gross violation 6f the purity of the ballot box, its cowardly abandonment of tin Joctriue of protection to adopted citizens, iis alliance with disauiouists, its universal subver sion of Liberty, its uppo'sitoii to the Declara tion of Independence, and its gross perversion of the Constitution,—constituting in all a bill of grievances which renders this Administra tion a cancer upon the Republic, and which we pledge the vote of Minnesota lo aid in re moving iu I860. 2. Resolved, That the present State organ ization is one based upon frauds, and is there fore bogus, that the Governor and Auditor ot State, iu receiving stocks as a basis of bank circulation, without marketable value, have violated the plain letter of the law, forfeited public confidence, and contributed largely to our pecuniary embarrassment—that the Demo cratic party has created a contingent fund for the benefit of State officers, thereby stealing the People's money, aud that by their general mismanagement of our State affairs they have shown themselves not only unworthy of con fidence, but have manifested their incapacity to administer the Stale Government. 3. Resolved, I'hat the present Administra tion in orderiug the sale ol public lands in this State, fas it is uuderslood such is their avowed purpose, in this dark hour offinancialdistress aud general embarrassment, is inflicting a fearful wrong upou the settlers oi Minnesota, turning over to remorseless speculators the fruits of their honest industry. 4. Resolved, That the gross abuses prac ticed by the Democratic partv of this State, under that clause ot the Constitution which extends the elective franchise to the Indians who have adopted the habits and customs ol civilized life, demand the severest reprobatiou of all friends ol the purity of the ballot-box, and this Convention pledges the Republican party of Minnesota to reform aud correct such abuses, by such needful legislation as shall coufine the benefits intended to be conferred by that provision to such Indians as have or may become civilized in fact 5. Resolved, That however men mav have ^.^optionoMh termination to preserve the plighted faith of the State from the stain of repudiation by meeting all our obligations to theentire extent of ourhonest indebtedness that iu regard to the question of the taxation of the people to pay the interest on the State Railroad Bonds, we hold that the Constitutional Amendment itself points out the mode by which that interest shall be met, that we will faithfully carry out and abide by that amendment, and shall hold the Railroad Companies to a strict compliance therewith and that we shall oppose all further Legislation upon the subject uutil default and forfeiture shall have been made on the part of the Companies. 6. Resolved, That we shall expect the Re publican Legislature of the coming winter to, boldly carry their investigations wherever there are known or imputed frauds iu the manage ment of our State affairs, regardless of those that may by implicated. NOT ALL DBAD YET.—The fools are not all dead yet, and the struggle between them now appears to be, who shall be the great est. Since Blondin has succeeded, so well others, as mad brained as he, are puzzling their wits how they shall eclipse him in fol lj. One W. T. Aymar a circus performer has settled the question in his own mind. According to the Boston Herald, he is about making arr ngements to do somersaults at Niagara which will eclipse M. Blondin's feat of tight rope walking. He proposes it Mr. Porter, will allow scaffolding to be erected on Goat Island, to turn a somersault down into the water at the foot of the Island a depth of one hundred and seventy feet fmm the point where he springs. He chooses this place because it is the only one with sufficient depth of water, and clear of rocks, for him to alight upon. The bare contemplating of such a feat, as a thing ac tually to be accomplished, stamps Mr. Ay mar as one of the boldest performers the world ever saw.
