THE ST. CLOUD DEMOCRAT
*AN.E G. SWISSHELM, EDITOR
Thursday, Nov. 11 1858.
WOOD! WOOD!!
Will some of our subscribers send us
fire-wood to the office, and send it soou.-
W are very much in want of it.
Messrs Wood and MoClure,
and the Minnesota Republican.
The last Minnesota Republican, in an
article on our recent election, claims it as
a Republican victory, says that Mr. Mc
Clure is, and always has been a Repub-
lican and that Mr. Wood has come out
of the Democratic party, and that both
will be found with the Republicans "every
time."
The Editor proiesses to speak "advi-
sedly" and takes the Pioneer Democrat
to task for classifying Messrs Wood and
McClure as Democrats and finds fault
with the M-nnesotiau for acquiescing in
that classification.
We are Very, very sorry to see our
good friend of the Republican led into
BO serious a mistake, and think he might
have accepted our account of that matter.
The ST CLOUD DEMOCRAT, is the organ
of the victorious party. W have been
in personal communication with the lead-
ers and candidates, have been fully ac-
quainted with every measure proposed or
adopted in the late campaign. W have
announced the result as a "Democratic
victory/' and feel that Mr. Croffut might
have "believed our report/'
The person from whom he gets his
advice cannot be a judicious and well
informed friend of the slave, or he would
not seek to pursuade the German Demo-
crats here, that they have been gul-ed—
that the Representatives they have chosen
have betrayed their confidence, and won
their suifrages under false pretences.—
Such would be the case if Messrs Wood
and McClure are Republicans.
Mr. Wood was the Democratic Receiver
at the Land Office here all the time of
General Pierce's Administration, and lias
never broken his connection with the
Democratic party, nor has he any inten
tion of ever being other than a Democrat
Mr. McClure, has never been known in
this country as other than a Democrat.—
We know not with what party he may
have operated in the East, but here, he
has been a consistent Democrat, and we
have good reason to believe he was the
eame before he came here. Both gentle-
men took the stump, and openly throughout
the campaign avowed themselves Demo-
crats. As such, they received the united
vote of the Republicans of this district
and this attempt to brand them with
falsehood is a Moccasin trick, or else
originated with some narrow-minded
Republican who wishes to break up the
union, by which the Moccasins were
defeated, not caring what becomes of the
cause of Truth and Freedom if they may
not have a party triumph.
Now, we say frankly to Mr. Croffut,
for whom we have a most profound re-
spect, that we do not think the Repub-
licans of Minnesota have won a title to
the claim of Liberty's Standard bearer
Look at the Constitution to which they
assented, and say if they have the right
to thrust their organization between any-
body and any honest effort for the advance-
ment of Human Liberty. W say they
have not and affirm that our Stearns
County Democrats are on a higher plat-
form than they have ever dared to stand
upon, and that they are ready to show
these timid, halting, half-and-half friends
of humanity the way to do right.
So, far from our delegation being with
the Republicans "every time, we expect
them to be with the right every time and
all the time, and if the Republicans are
there they will be with them but if the
right is found with the Democrats then
they will be with them.
They are just what the Pioneer and
Afinnesotian e.ills them, Independent
Democrats and if by any act in Legisla-
ture they aid the oppressor, and take
aides against the oppressed, they had
better never attempt to face their con
stituents.
The great majority ^)f the Germans in
this district are intensely opposed to
Slavery. They, are a*'I Democrats and
claim to be represented in their own way
and in their own proper .character. They
have elected .Messrs Wood and McClure
as Anti-Slavery Democrats, and with a
magnanimity which has been fully re
ciprocated by the Republicans here, have
also elected Mr. Whitney as a Republican,
forgetting their intense hatred of the
name in their love of Liberty, and deter
mination to rebuke the clique of slave
holders who had so misled and misrepre
sented them.
To claim the election as a Republican
victory is a libel on the candidates, and
an insult to their constituents, that's all.

St. Cloud, Oct. 31st, 1858.
CALHOUN,
Rev. Sir.
I have received
no answer to the letter addressed to you
some five or six weeks ago, asking inform-
ation about the woman and child you took
from this place last summer and I learn
through Mr. Gorton that you object to
any public correspondence on the subject.
You inform him that had I written you a
private note you could and would have gi-
ven such explanation as would have satis-
fied me, that you had not made any dispo-
sition of the missing persous which is in-
consistent with your anti-slavery profess-
ions.
I am truly glad you have such explanation
to give and sorry if I have made any mis-
take in the manner of asking for it but
permit me to say to you, My Dear Sir,
that I think you misapprehend the nature
of the case. I know that slaveholders as a
class, have a constitutional antipathy to
printer's ink, in all matters connected with
their cherished institutions and had I
known you as voluntarily belonging to
that class, I should not have expected a
public answer but remember, My Dear
Sir, that I know you only as a Christian
philanthropist, fully aware of the [sin and
sorrow of traficing in the souls for whom
Christ died one who was laboring at great
sacrifice, to confer the boon of Freedom
upon the unhappy people over whom un-
just and oppressive enactments iiad given
you- unlimited authority.
As a slaveholder you never could have
sustained that relation to me which makes
it an imperative duty on my part, to in-
quire about the fate of this woman and
her child as an Anti-Slavery Christian,
and a gentleman of retiring habits, it was
natural to suppose you would appreciate
any earnest call to rid yourself of the
odious suspicion of traficing "in slaves and
souls of men" like Babylon the accused of
God.
But setting aside all considerations of
this kind, it appears to me, My Dear Sir,
that you underestimate the importance
of this matter or you would not look up.
on it as matter for private correspondence.
Who are you and I that we should have a
right to get into a dark corner and decide
the facts, or the right, or the wrong of de-
priving any other human being of his li-
Who made me Supreme Judge of the
rights of the people of Minnesota? True,
I have a personal interest iu knowing the
facts that I may free myself from the sin
of fellowship in a capital crime, if it has
been committed but others have a like in-
terest in common with myself while every
professing christian, every inhabitant of
Minnesota is in duty bound to inquire in-
to this matter. If this child, born on our
soil, has been taken and sold into slavery,
it is a question for the Supreme Court of
the State to decide whether it is a case
kidnapping and a penal oflencejjagainstthe
laws of our State.
I hope therefore, My Dear Sir, that you
will reconsider your decision about answer-
ing publicly and as you have informed
Mr. Gorton that you can satisfactorily ex-
plain the circumstsnees about which I
have enquired, let me beg of you to give
that explanation, if not through my col-
umns, which I place at your service and
in which I pledge you the most respectful
consideration, then, in some other way by
which it shall reach the public ear or eye.
Believe me, that not only in this com-
munity, where you are known and much
honored and beloved but in many other
parts of the country your answer is await-
ed with deep interest.
.Respectfully your Friend and Fellow
Laborer for the Redemption of the world
from sin and darkness.

Sauk Rapids Vote.
Our election returns show 4
Moccasin votes. I is but just to that
place to say that the men who cast them
were not citizens of Sauk Rapids but re-
side seventeen miles back in the country
and were in on business.
Mr. Wood and the ticket on which he
ran had the unanimous vote of the place,
although it was there the Moccasin Con-
vention was held.
W think this is almost unprecedented
and is a complement to Mr. Wood of
which he has just cause to be proud.
The vote also decided to remove the
county seat from Watab to Sauk Rapids
where it was formerly located.
N I S W are indebted to
Mr. Wakefield, of Cold Spring, for two
turnips weighing 171bs each. They can
be seen at the stores of Messrs Mitchell
and Miller & Swisshelm.
Temperance Meeting and the
Speakers.
On Teusday evening of last week a tem
pcrauce meeting was held in Everett
School House. There was a full attend-
ance and able addresses delivered by Rev.
Mr. Philips and Dr. Hunter. As Mr.
Philips is our most popular preacher peo-
ple expected a great deal of him and were
not disappointed but Dr. Hunter was not
known amongst us as an orator and folks
were not prepared for his clear, concise
history of the Maine Law, or his effective
and forcible delivery and adaptation of the
facts to the case in hand.
I is but a short time since wo were com-
pelled to call upon the doctor for profess-
ional services and were relieved of many
tears for the future, by recognizing in him
the cautious and skillful physician and
are glad to know him so fully committed
to temperance that he will not be likely
to rcccomend the fell destroyer as a reme-
dy for trifling ills, as too many doctors are
apt to do.
The meeting appointed the Rev. Phil-
ips, Dr. Hunter and Henry Swisshelm a
committee to draft a constitution to be
presented at the next meeting. Several
signed the pledge and all adjourned to
meet on Teusday evening next.
LATE ELECTIONS.
a
Our latest news claims that New York
has gone Republican by 20,000 majority,
and that of her 34 Congressmen but 4 will
bo Buchananites.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Xew
Jersey appear also to have gone the same
way. Massachusetts gives Banks 32,000
majority^ but the exact result cannot yet
be certainly known at this distance.—
The indications are, that the Moccasins
are badly beaten throughout the entire
range of Free States as they are in Stearns
County and this is bad enough to call for
the compassion of their enemies.
Bankruptcy.
We aro sorry, on account of his
creditors, to state that our particular friend
General Lowry is understood to be, not on-
ly politically but pecuniarly bankrupt.—
has transferred his property to his
brother-in-law, Rev. Calhoun, who is,him-
self,heavily engaged in multifarious specu-
lations and heavy judgements are here
now, in the hands of the sheriff, against
S. Lowry, but no property can be
found. Some think he has made arrange-
ments to avoid paying Mr. Brott for the
type and press but we incline to think
he cannot get rid of that little bill without
serving a term in the States Prison, as
Mr. Brott is not exactly a common credi-
tor and the claim is one which can be
prosecuted by any one in case he should
neglect it.
The way of the transgressor is hard
and of that press gang, those who destroy-
ed or were privy to the destruction of that
press, all of whom were, one year ago, the
undisputed leaders of public opinion here,
there is not one now with whom a respec-
table beggar would change places. The
leaders of the mob who murdered Lovejoy
and pnt his press in the river, all died vio-
lent deaths within two years, although
none of his friends ever sought venganee
and according to the extent of their crime
these men have been equally punished.

it don't meet till the winter of 1860. The Rep

lege of taking their seats in the Capitol.—Belle

Which translated from the Moccasin
tongue: "I we (Lccomptonites,) had car
ried the Legislature, there would have
been a pleasant session this winter, and
Franklin Steele would have fen eleeted
to the United States Seggjejinit there is
one consolation, our M^fcasm Governor
will never call a Repitflman Legislature
together, no matter what exigency may a
rise, or how much the welfare of the State
may require it. There is no law for the
election of Congressmen, and Senator
Shields' term expires this winter, so that
if the Legislature does not meet, Minneso
ta will be disfranchised in the Congress of
'59—60 but then it is better not to be
represented than to be represented by a
Black Republican, even though elected
by a majority of the people." And "Hur

S. S W I S S E 'S St. Cloud (Min.)
DEMOCRAT of 14th inst., comes to us
filled with such exultation and rejoicing
as Miriam shouted over the hosts of the
discomfited Egyptians and there is rea
son for this jubilance.
Our readers will remember the outra
geous and burglarious assault made on the
office of the (then) Visiter by Gen. Lowry
—a political autocrat in that region—and
his minions, and how the press and type
were destroyed. The good people of St.
Cloud resented this outrage, doubly offen
sive as an assault upon a defenceless wo
man and upon the liberty of the press,
and they purchased press and type, and
reinstated Mrs. Swisshelm in the DEMO
CRAT office.
Since that time Mrs. S. has used her
press to some purpose Lowry and his
little aid, James Shepley, and one and all
the conspicious adherents of the General,
have been decently flagellated once a week
through the DEMOCRAT. When the cam
paign in the County opened, the DEMO
CRAT urged a union of Republicans and
anti-slavery Democrats, which was accom
plished. The Lowry, or Administration
Democrats, counted on their influence
and power to whip in the rank and file,
but they signally failed. WThen election
came they were routed, horse, foot and
dragoons—repudiated by the people of
the county and district, and the wand of
their authority broken forever. Among
the many causes for rejoicing at the result
of the October elections, perhaps none is
more worthy of "bonfires and illumina
tions" than this. I shows that when an
appeal for redress of grievances is taken
to the people, the confidence in their in
tegrity will not be disappointed.—Pitts
burg Dispatch.
Colonel Forney since the
Election.
Last Saturday night Col. Forney spoke
in Haskin District, New York—the same
where his Tarrytown was delivered.
reasserted, iu all their length and breadth,
his charges against the Administration.—
In review of the election in Pennsylvania,
he says
"For in our State this was not a ques
tion of the Tariff or Revenue laws—it was
simply an fiissue between Mr. Buchanan
and the people upon his Kansas policy:—
There was not—there could not be—any
pretext the issue was fairly and fully
tried, and the result is before the country.
As Mercutio said when he received the
Btab of the indignant Thibault, "The
wound is not as deep as a well, nor as wide
as a church door but it will do. W say
to the Administration, we have fought you
when you had nearly four years of Feder
al power before you, and were surrounded
by a hungry army of unfed and insatiate
hounds and we shall fight you now, when
you have but little more than two years of
power, and your dogs have nearly all been
gorged. The whole career of Anti-Le
comptonism has been a career of triumph
we have driven these usurpers from one
point to another we comptlled them to a
bandon the English bill, and now there is
not a white man in the north who dares a
vow himself in favor of the Administra
tion—not one. Even Mr. English has
been compelled to abandon his own meas
ure to save himself from defeat. They
have been compelled to admit the justice of
our position, and that those who act with
Mr. Haskin, and with the independent
Americans, Democrats and Republicans
throughout the Free States are right."

Infamous Fraud on the Ballot-Box
in Fillmore County.
The Minnesotian of to-day, Friday,
says:
"We have information from Preston,
the county seat of Fillmore, that in the
Land Office town of Chatfield the most in
famous frauds upon the ballot-box in that
district have just come to light. Repub
lican votes appear to|have been abstracted
from the ballot-box cither before or after
it was deposited in the keeping of the
Chatfield land officers, frauds sufficient to
overcome the undoubted majoriy cast for
the Republican ticket.
"The Republican voters of Chatfield got
together and made individual affidavits of
having voted the Republican ticket in
greater numbers by over thirty votes than
the Chatfield Land Office return conceded
them.
"On a representaiton of these facts to
the Canvassing Board, they unhesitatingly
threw out the vote of Chatfield precinct,
and have given the certificates of election
to the two Republican Senators and six
Republican members of the House.
"When will the Democratic leaders
cease to perpetrate these gross frauds on
the ballot-box?"—Minnesota Republican.

The "Quaker Vote" at Last.
The Boston Journal remarks: "Th
long missing Quaker vote in Pennsylvania
has been heard from. Jt is slow, but sure
when it comes." To which the Providence
Journal adds:
We welcome the long expected Quaker vote.
We missed it in October, 1850, and vainly
looked for it in the coming November. Our
Quaker friends are never fast, but they are
famous for holding on when they come. V»rc
should judge by the returns, that the monthly
meetings must be in a very flourishing condi
tion in Berks county.

The "True Democratic Party"
Doctrine
The Washington Union is paving the
way for the establishment of slavery in the

issue of the 5th inst.
"This at last appears to be yielded ft tme

very cannot be legitimately controlled by the
people of a Territory until they come to mtjfct a
Constitution, and that then they cannot intmfmt
with the rights of properly already vetttd."
A GIRL WOUNDING AND PURSUING
A BURGLAR—during the absence of the
Rev. John Parker, of Carmel, Putnam
county, a few weeks since, his residence
was broken into and a quantity of articles
stolen therefrom. A few days ago, the
reverend gentlemen had again*occasion to
leave home. During the "night a young
English girl, a domestic in the house, was
awakened by a noise proceeding from the
next room. She arose, and arming herself
with a corn slash, a formidable weapon,
went boldly into the next room to learn
ths cause, when she saw a large black arm
thrust through the window into ike room,
attempting to reach the fastening inside.
She ordered the intruder to leave, and the
the order in 'heeded, the "corn slash
descended wither eat force upon the arm,
between the wngt and the elbow, inflicting
a fearful gash.
The negro, did not wait for further or
ders, but left the house, and ran across a
meadow, followed by the brave girl, with
the bloody com slash in her hand. Th
next morning traces of blood were tracked
to a considerable distance.
The negro remained quiet until last
week, when Dr. Adams was called to
dress the wound, and found that the limb
would have to be amputated for want of
timely care.

preparing to wage a war of extermination
upon the whites. Scouts that have just
