UoV RAMS13Y'S ANNOUNCEMENT opposed by the West, and which wherever To the free and unpledged voters of Good- it has been carried into operation has proved hue county, I hereby announce myself as a most serious injury to it. As a Republican an Independent Republican candidate for then, a member of the party that thus fav OCT An extended notice of Colfax's speech, and an article on the Democratic meeting at Featherstone arc crowded out. DEMOCRATS! REON YOUR GUARD! We have received reliable information that the Republicans contemplate carrying out a great system of frauds, all through South era Minnesota, aud especially through the south part of Goodhue county, and in oth er localities, where they may have similar facilities. The scheme is with regard to this county, to run loads of voters, be tween Mazeppa in Wabashaw, and Belvi dere, Zutnbrota, Cherry giove and Kenyon, voting them in all those precincts. This was the same scheme carried out by the Republicans in 1857, by which the vote of this county was increased over three hundred over the actual number of residents then in the county—saying nothing about the fact that a large number of actual resi dents did not vote at all. One instance will be recollected, when a prominent citizen of Zumbrota took a load of strangi r* from this place and voted them at Easterly's and at Zumbrota after they had voted hero. The righteous among the Republicans arc seduced into this scheme, on the pretended plea that the Democrats will carry out similar frauds in the North, and it will be necessary to counterbalance them in this way. Oh hon est Republicans. The Republicans are now pretending that they will carry Zumbrota by one hundred and fifty majority, and Bclvidere, Cherry Grove &c, by a vote in tho same pro portion—preparing the public mind for a large vote in these precincts—while tho ac tual residents of Zumbrota never have and do not now number seventy-five. There is them is authentic on the face, not that number to be found on the road su pervisors' list. ch\tm *dii THE GOVERNORSHIP. Since the session of the late Republican State Convention,, many facts have leaked out, going to show that that convention was singularly unfortunate in its selection of & & $ & W wil! briefly consider the claims of the greater part of them With the character, history and capa bilities of Gov. Kamsey most of the intelli gent citizens of Minnesota are familiar. As a prominent member and leader of the oldof whig party, the Gov. advocated (in Penn sylvania,) in opposition to Gen. Jackson's preemption policy, the distribution of the I proceeds of the public lands among the States —a measure calculated and intended to bene fit the eastern and southern States—to sup port their State Governments,without direct I taxation, at the expense of the West a pol icy which, if carried out, would have proved rninous to Western interests and that fol lowing out that principle Gov. Ramsey I voted while in Congress, against the act graduating and reducing the price of public lands for the benefit of actual settlers, which was introduced and urged by Democrats, in accordance with this same distribution policy, the Republicans at the last session introduced and passed, the "Agricultural College Hill"—a measure designed in the name of a holy cause, that of education, to rob the West, for the benefit of the East and South, for it provided that scrips for the amount of twenty thousand acres o( land, for each Senator and Representative it had in Congress shoud be given to each State—giving to the State of New York with its thirty-five members seven hundred thous and acres New England over one million, Pennsylvania and Olio, over one million more and the other States in proportion. Minnesota, would have received for an agri cultural college but eighty thousand acres, while her agricultural resources her advan tages, as an agricultural State, are far supe rior to, and at no distant day, will produce far more, th:in those, of New England and New York combined. And while this meas ure has thus no reference to the future of the great Northwest, but would sacrifice it to the selfish demand of the East and South its present influence upon Minnesota, would be that the scrip, at least three millions of acres would been located in Minnesota, weighing her down, still more heavily, with the greatest curse that has ever been entail ed upon the West, that of non-resident land holders. This bill was voted against by Democrat ic members generally and was vetoed by President Buchanan. It is fair to infer that as it was supported unanimously, and car ried by Republicans, and as it was in ac cordance with the old line policy, advocat ed and voted for by Gov. Ramsey when in Congress, that he would have supported it. How well, this policy is adapted to the in terest of the West, our readers can readily perceive. It is one that has always been ors the same policy that he himself advocat ed when a Pennsylvania Whig. Gov.'Ram sey is certainly not entitled to tho support of the settlers of Minnesota. Gov. Ramsey claims to be the friend of the Grow Homestead bill. The Republi cans now seek to disown that bill, but they always claimed it as their pet measure and Mr. Grow, now says he wa3 the author of it. What that measure was, how disastrous to the prosperity of Minnesota it would have been we have frequently shown. That it must have neccessarily diverted emigra tion from Minnesota, and even enticed away some who have already settled here is ap parent. We have frequently shown that this measure applied only to lands subject to private entry, and in another article will be found a brief review of the claims set up by Mr. Colfax in relation to it. Now what credit ought Gov. Ramsey or any ofSecretary the Republican candidates to have for favor ing this measure? Why do they not ad-presumption, vocate such a measure as is proposed in the Democratic platform, which will cover all classes of Government land—benefit the settlers of Minnesota as well as those of Io wa and Wisconsin? Again Gov. Ramsey claims the sympathy and support of the people, because he say that he was fraudulently defeated two years ago. We have often shown how base this cla/m is. That it was his duty if he be lieved iiis statements to be true to have the natter investigated before the courts, so that at all events the people could have the evi dence of the frauds placed before them in an authentic manner. The Goodhue County Republican and other Republican papers are publishing what thoy pretend are affidavits, going to prove Gov. Ramsey's charges. All we have to say about them is that not one ofpreriovshj-had •sJn. principle a Not one in their prose nt shape could be adinitcd as evidence in any court, and that a careful ex They also boast as they did in 1857, that animation will satisfy any candid man that they have a fund of $150,000, raised in the the affidavits are throughout/yr./«wV«. That east as it was at that time, to carry the present election the persons by whom they purport be made—the officers before Democrats be on your guard. The voice purport to be taken, are not now and nov of the people of Goodhuo county, must not were in existence. They fabricated the affi be again choked down, by the repetition o| davits as the vend'eis of patent pills andplas the enormous frail 1* of '57. Make it an tens (jet vp certificate* of cures. They can especial point to watch those precincts.— not show that a solitary one of them is au Challenge every person offering to vote who thentir. How ridiculous 1 How dishonest is not a resident of the precinct. Take his How base then to be scattering broad cast name and actual residence if you can discover this pretended evidence—got up in Doctor it and thus be prepared with the evidence to Foster's office. They are like tho one him uproot the returns from precincts in d.el and twenty-, lire affidavits got up last fall which the Republican programme is carried by the Republicans in the case of the cele out. brated Chatfiald frauds in Fillmore County, Again we say, look to the polls, and chal- which affidavits were proven, before a Re lenge every person not known to be a resi- publican Judge, (Wilson,'} to be forgeries, dent of your precinct, and have cihe chal- longe and the answers to the usual ques tions recorded by the clerks of tho electron as the law directs. to whom they and were so decided by him, after a legal in veatigation. But it is all of a piece with the bastard Republicanism of the present day. It proves however that Gov Ramsey practice as, dishonest as the very worst of them. Wo have bofore alluded to Gov. Ramsey's connection with the IndianfPof Minnesota, lie came here as ex-ojtteio Indian Superin tendent, and was impeached by the House of Representatives for derelictions of duty for presenting fraudulent claims for money, pretended to have been paid to the Indians which was not—and generally for 'de frauding the Goverment out ef thousands dollars. This fully appears in the record ofthe proceedings of Congress. Now then putting all these facts together fellow citizens, is Gov. Ramsey entitled to your support for the important position of Governor of Minnesota. You arc know ing to tho truth of every statement above set forth. No person can pretend that they are false or even cxagerated. They are patent historical fasts. Do th show that the ex-Gov. has any claims to the office? TH E CLAIMS OF JAMES H. RAKER FOR THE OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE. We have intimated that the Republican State Convention was peculiarly unfortunate in selecting i's candidates. It evidently was entirely unacquainted with the character and antecedents of Mr. Baker—for we do not believe it would have nominated a man for such a responsible office, whom no hon est man acquainted with his antecedents can conscientiously vote for. It was Mr. Baker who presented the plat firm adopted by the Convention. It con" tains a severe denunciation of Know Noth ingism. It turns out that Mr. Baker wrote that portion of the platform because, having belonged to that order in Ohio, and having been elected Secretary of State on the Know Nothing ticket, he knows from experience what a dirty bird it is. The platform also makes great professions in favor of honesty and economy in the management of government. On this point Mr. Baker was evidently well qualified to judge, having himself tried all ways of get ting along. After his nomination it was charged upon him that while Secretary of State of Ohio, he had swindled that State out of $132,01)0, by one operation. We have heretofore published the facts going to prove this charge, to wit: That in negoti ating a loan of $2,600,000 for that State, he conspired with certain parties in New York to let them have it for four per cent, less than market value of Ohio State securities dividing the difference—$132,0l0—with them. The facts we published were elicited by a committee of investigation, appointed by the Ohio Legislature to examine into the matter, and were published officially. The only objection to this ever raised by the Republicans was, that it was the report of a committee the majority of which was Democratic, interested in disparaging Mr Baker. Well, it was said the report was also signed by Mr. Reemelin, a prominent Republican, and a man of high personal character and standing, (as one of the mem bers of the committee). But, said the Minnesotian, and Mr. Baker, in his speeches- Mr. Reemelin was fooled by the Democrats on the committee, and did not know what the report contained when he signed it." Hearing this declaration, Mr. Orrin Dens more, Republican Judge of Probate of this county, wrote to Mr. Reemelin to ascertain the fact3 in the case. The correspondence has since been published in the Pioneer and Democrat, and effectually sets at rest the case of Mr. Baker. As to how the Pioneer obtained it, appears in an article from that paper, which we hublish in another column. Here is the correspondence CHAM.ES SIR You will at a glance see why I ask as a favor of you, whether the charge pre ferred in the enclosed which I cut from the "PIONEER TSD DEMOCRAT," is true, and the extract therein made is from the Report" as made by yourself and associates? Mr. Baker is our nominee for the office of of State, and we desire to stand by him if he is worthy, which should be theplace, and refute all false statements made for electioneering purposes but if he is unworthy, we would not support him.— Your knowledge will enable you, to set us right in the matter, which I trust you will do at the earliest moment, and very much oblige many who in these perilous times desire to look before we leap. In Freedom's cause, yours truly. [Signed] ORRIN DEXSMORE. CINCINNATI, September, 5, 1859. 0. DIN'SMORE, Esj., Red Wing: Sin :^—The extract from the report of the Ohio Treasury Investigating Commission which you enclose to me with yours of the 3rd instant, and which you say you cutbe from the PIONEER AND DKMOCRAT, was every word written by me, and I did than and do now, most solemnly belters every word to be true and I must add that as Trustee of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trutt com pany, I have sen much to confirm, and nothing to tike away any bad impression I of James II. Baker. You signyours-df "in Freedom's cause, yours truly," and I accept your salutation and especially, because you say in your let ter, that you will not support unworthy men though nominased—a determination which tbe friends of liberty should never violate. Most respectfully vours, [Signed] CHAS. REEMELIN. Now, then, what excuse has any person to offer for Mr. Baker Mr. Reemelin, who staied in his report that Baker was notori ously corrupt and venal—that's bis charac ter in Ohio—now says that since the repor of that committee, he has discovered addi ional evidence on that {mint, which makes the case still worse for Baker. Now, then, will any of the honest Republicans of this county or State, vote for such a man Can they do so conscientiously? We know it is said, and by Republicans, too, that it makes no difference who the Republicans nominate, the party will support him butor we believe that this campaign will disprove such an aspersion upon the character of the Republican masses, by showing as its re-the sult that Mr. Baker did not receive one half the Republican vote THE CLAIMS OF Will. WINDOJf. We have heretofore published the evi dence proving Mr. Windora to. have been formerly jth active Know Nothing politician, and a member of the Know Nothing State Convention in Ohio, notwithstanding he plants himself upon the Republican platform and declares the charge to be an unmitiga ted lie. On our first page will bo fodnd an article proving conclusively that William Windom, formerly of Mount Vernon, Ohio, now of Winona, Minnesota, and Republican candi date for Congress, was, while a resident of' Mount Vernon, the Vice President of the Know Nothing lodge in that place. The original charter of the lodge, by which Mr. Windom was appointed such Vice Presi dent, being now in tho possession of the Pvineer and Democrat. Neither t/ie Minne sotian cr the Times have said a wrd in de fense of Mr. Windom since the publication of that article. Their guns are spiked The character of Mr. Windom has re ceived a severe shock in consequence of his emphatic denial of the charge, and to be proved a wilful liar on such a charge is cer tainly a very disagreeable fix to be put in,have and shows Mr. Windom is entirely unwor thy of the support of candid men. THE GOODHUE COUNTY FRAUDS OF 185T. We have made mention in another col umn of the plans now entertained by the Republicans, of re-enacting the frauds or 1857, in this county, and all through South ern Minnesota. Of this we have informa tion from one of our most reliable citizens, who is willing to make oath to the fact. To show with how much reason the De mocracy may expect the enactment of such a swindle, we give below certain facts and figure's, we have published before, and which wore never denied, and cannot be denied) for they are from the official election returns of the county, and the official census returns of the Marshal of the State. Here they are: In 1857, the whole vote polled was 1928* Democratic, 705 Republican, 1223. By the census returns, there was, at that time, in the county, 1652 men over twenty-one years of age. The Deputy Marshals got five cents a head for enumerating them, and made oath that their returns were correct, and no impeachment of them ever has been or ever can be made. This, then, is conclusive evidence of the fact that a large number of votes were polled in this county over and above the number of bona fide electors in the county— nearly, if not quite 400—for it must be borne in mind that from 100 to 150 of those electors did not vote at all. As further evi dence on this point, we give the actual vote polled in 1858, when there had been a laryi mere is^ in tin population of the county, ovei an I oVce tluit of 1857. fj^- Whole num ber of votes, 1631—297 votes les3 thin were polled the year before. Of them were Demo cratic, 715—a slight increase. Republican, 916—a falling off of 307 votes. The Republicans never have and never can explain th?so figures, and they can't be explained on any other basis than that of fraudulent voting. It is impossible Fellow citizens, what had become of the 400 fraudulent votes the Republicans polled in 1857? Where were they Not in this county. Bit hoi- out that th«y don't turn vp his fall! BE ON YOUR GUARD THE HOMESTEAD BILL. We have frequently published the first clause of the Homestead Bill, showing that it was only intended to apply to lands sub ject to. private entry—in which c^e it could RED WING, GOODHUE CO., Minn.) '*•jie of no possible benefit to a single resuleitf greatest injury for it would drive tho emi gration from this State to Iowa and Wis consin, and other points where they could avail themselves of its provisions. Nay! that it would even draw our own settlers away from us on that account. Mr. Colfax, in his speech delivered at this took a different view of the clause in question, and contended (very briefly, how ever,) that the latter-part of the clause ex tended its provisions over all classes of Gov ernment lands. In order that our'readers may clearly un derstand the point, we again publish the clause in question "That any person who is the head of a family, or who has arrived at the age oflaying, twenty-one years and is a ciiizen of the United States or who shall have filed his intention to become such, as required by the naturalization laws of the United States, shall from and after tho passage of this act. entiled to enter free of cost, one quarter section of vacant and unappropriated public land which may, at the time the aplication is made, be subject to private entry, at $1,25bletappointment per acre, or a quantity equal thereto, to be located in a body, in conformity with the legal subdivisions of the public lands, and after the same shall have been surveyed." Now the latter part of this clause, to wit: or a quantity equal thereto, to be located in a bodj% in conformity with the legal sub divisions of the public lands, and after the same shall have been surveyed," Mr. Colfax said extended the provisions of the Home stead Bill over all the Government lands of Minnesota. We cannot so understand it, for the word "quantity" evidently refers back to the "vacant and unappropriated public lands which may at the time the ap plication is made be subject to private entry." A quantity" of what of vacant and unappropriated public lands," &c, "equal thereto." Equal to what Equal to a quarter section. That is, that the settler may locate his "claim" in any shape, in conformity with the leg subdivisions, to the amount of one hundred and sixty acres, a quarter section. The whole of the latttr portion of the clause refers to the quantity and shape of claim, and not to the class of lands which may be claimed. The, first part of the clause designates that. RE- THE CORRUPTION OF THE PIIHL1CIIN CONVENTION. "However improper the influences brought to bear upon the Convention may have been in other particulars we can assure our friend II ,. ,,, ,, that they liad no connection whatever with Republican, it has no proof, and can offer none to support the statement. Hoiv was it that tho nomination of Dr. Garrard was not obtained by influences equally as im proper, as you admit, were brought to bear upon the convention in other particulars." Did he not make th' re/uis'te pledges, where by he sold himself, body and soul to Chas. McClure, in order to obtain the nomination. Tho. Republican well knows that he did-man, Did he uot sell out other candidates—the candidates for Senator, for Treasurer and Auditor, in order to obtain it The Repub lican knows that he did. Did he not buyitsn the delegates from his district who support ed him. Aaron G. Hudson, Said so, openly, as we can prove by fifty men We are glad to see the Republican-for once frank enough, as appears by the above extract to admit that the Republican con vention was controlled to use its mild lan guage by "improper influences." That is it was in reality, corrupt and rotten to theially core, and now Messrs. Republicans when your own organ admits this fact, can you,cipled conscientiously, by your votes approve of I S & his serbice,—a fact, too, with which" he was well acquainted.— Q'iodhve Co. Republican. The Rtrp'ubli-can proves its disinterestedpublican ness, in the same number, by publishing Mr. Martin's announcement a- an advMisenient This insult to Mr. Martin, shows conclu sively with what a friendly spirit that sheec was actuated, and how kindly it would have been at his service. Mr. Martin unwillingly came forward as an independent candidate', at the unanimous request of the Republicans of his district, and because he deemed it his duty, and that of the independent Republican voters, thus to rebuke the greatest political iniquity that has ever been enacted in Minnesota. The Republican, in its friendliness, pub lishes a column leader, devoted exclusively to maligning and falsifying Mr. Martin's po sition and sentiments, with an attempt to plaster up, and smooth over, tho proceedings of the Convention, which it has, however, to admits was controlled by improper in fluences,'' and then begs its readers not toselfiih hazard a U. S. Senator for such a trivial matter. No! Republicans must swallow a ticket conceived and brought forth in the foulest iniquity, and candidates who are inpublican every way unfit and unqualified for the sev eral offices—some of them, in fact, like Mr. Garard, of doubtful political principles —a Democrat until the last year—because some other interests may he jeopardized.— The Convention should have had that in view in making its nominations—should have considered that the election of a Sena tor made it all the more necessary to nomi nate good men, and not have acted as it did—upon the presumption that the party would support anybody—rather than ru:t the risk of losing a United States Senator. But of one thing the Republicans may rest assured, they cannot in any emit elect a Senotor, becausu the State Senate is al ready Democratic—a sufficient majority of Democratic Senators holding over to insure thai fact. THE LETTER FROM REEMELIN ON THE OHIO SWINDLER The letter from Hon. Charles Reemelin, to a Republican of Red Wing, has created considerable sensation in Republican circles. It has removed whatever doubts the hon est and candid portion of that party may have entertained, as to Baker's guilt". Mr. Reemelin has been active as a Republican since the organization of that party. Ho attended the Pittsburgh Convention of Feb ruary 1856, and took a prominent part in down the basis of the Republican or ganization he was an able advocate of Fre-. monl's election has been an unwavering supporter of Gov. Chase, of Ohio and up to the hour of his (REEMEMN'S) appoint ment as Trustee of the Ohio Life Insurance & Trust Company, in February of the pres ent j-ear, he held a lucrative and responsi at the hands of Gov. Chase. Bu Mr. Reemelin will not permit his sym pathies as a Republican, to overmaster his duty as a citizen and, as a consequence, he has been active as a member of the Ohio Investigating Committee, in ferreting out Baker's scoundrelism. In his language, Baker was regarded as venal and corrupt by all with whom he came in con'act." The letter of Mr. Reemelin was written in response to the interrogatories of Orrin Densmore, Esq., the Republican Probate Judge of Goodhue county. Mr. Densmore, suppressed the letter, but copies of the cor respondence were procured from Ohio. The nice sense of honor whieh actuated Dens more, we trust, will be appreciated by thecounty people of Goodhue county. Had Mr. Reol efin's answer, exculpated BAKER, it would have been expressed to every portion of the State, within 48 hours after its receipt. But as it proved and substantiated evory charge, we have mada against the infamous scoun due!, the Judge of Probate of Goodhue coun ty, concluded to suppress it. He became, by so doing, on accessory after the act. OCT Gov. Willard of Indiana, the best stump speaker in the world, is announced to address the citizens of Minnesota at va rious points during the coming week. Ar rangements will be- made if possible, for him to speak at Red Wing on Saturday the 8th, at which time we are to have a grand Democratic rally. MR. MARTIN'S APPOINTXtTNTS. Perry D.

NEWSPAPER DKCISIOX.—The Superior Court of Indiana has made a decision which has an important bearing upon the interests of the newspaper press. A controversy exists relative to a charge for advertsing between the Commisioners of Hamilton and the Patriot newspaper. It was held by the judge that" the published terms of newspapers constitute a contract. If a work is given to newspaper puplishers, without a special contract contravening the published terms, the publisher can charge and receive acording to the term so published. It is not necessary to prove what the work cost or was worth the publishers have a right to fix tho value of their columns, and if so fixed, no other question need be asked, but the price thus charged can be recovered."

Their inventor re ceived at the Paris Industrial Exhibtion, in 1855, the large Gold Medal, and the Onfcr of the Legion of Honor. One of these bells is how on exhibition for a few days at the store of Mr. James G. Dudley, at 93 Main street, Buffalo, N. Y. having been procured by him for Christ Church, Red Wing, Minnesota. This bell weigh 600 pounds, and cost about $160 whereas a Composition bell of the same sise would weigh about 800 pounds, and cost about $260.
