TII E NEW ERA.
EDITED sr
WM. HENRY WOOD,
THURSDAY. FEB. 2, 1800
Our Platform.
1. Opposition to the Extension of Slavery.
*. No more Slavo State* except by compe
tent affirmative Legislation.
S. Hostility to the re-opening of the Slave
trade.
4. Liberty of Conscience and equality of
right* for native and adopted citizens.
5. Repeal of the Fugitive Skve Law
6. Opposition to the principles announced in
the Dread Scot Decision.
7. The policy of granting *6O acres of Land
to actual Settlers on the public domain.
«. Hostility to the corruption and extravagance
of the National Administration.
Mr. Chumberlain’s proposition to the
Legislature is to build 230 miles of Rail
Road, commencing at La Crescent, op
posite La Crosse, and running up the
most direct line on the old survey, say
tf> Anoka, for SBSOO a mile, equipping
the road and putting the cars on. He
Agrees to deposit nine hundred thousand
dollars of old bonds with the State Trea
surer, as security for the performance
of his contract.
The general proposition meets, we
believe, with the favor of most of the
members of the Legislature. But there
•is a disagreement on the particulars—
as to when the company shall be paid
as to the disposition to be made of the
remaining out-standing bonds in the
hands of other parties, over which the
old company has no control—and as to
the precise line to be followed from La
Crescent to St. Anthony. The Winona
folks are alarmed for their transit road.
Minneapolis puts on a wry face because
it is proposed to run the road through
Hennepin County on the east side of the
River, instead of the west side. The
little bond-holders want the State to
take up the old bonds now, and issue
new ones. They are all swearing in
squads, some in unknown tongues, be
cause Gov. Ramsey proposed to pay
them only 25 cents on the dollar, if they
refuse to come into the general arrange
ment proposed by him in his Message.
Wo heard Gov. Gorman tell a crowd of
them, in his usual emphatic way, they
could either do that, or sue the State
and get nothing, on account of the com
pany for whose benefit they were issued,
having utterly failed to fulfil its part of
the contract. And so the matter is be
set with some difficulties—though we
understood before we left St. Paul, that
it was the determination of the Legisla
ture to do something definite before ad
journing. We believe, from what we
saw, that our present Legislature is
composed of an eminently honest body
of men, and have no fears but their ac
tion in this matter will be wise and for
the best interests of the people. All the
people ask this time, is, that their rep
resentatives in this Rail Road matter,
shall disregard sectional interests, and
act only with reference to the general
welfare of the whole State.
Who are the Disunionists.
The charge most often and flippantly
made against the Republican Party by
its adversaries, is, that it is opposed to
the Union and Constitution Leaving
that allegation alone just now, suppose
we look a moment at facts. Who are
the disunionists? Who in reality are
those now threatening a disruption of
the Union. Are the disunion men those
who say they will abide by tii6 Rnion
and the Constitution under any circum
stances, or those who declare they will
destroy both by force of arms in the
event of the election of a man to the
Presidency not of their choice, however
•egnlly. justly or constitutionally that
election may be by the people? The
leaders of the southern section of the
Democratic Party proclaim everywhere,
—in Congress, at Conventions, on the
rostrum, and through the Press—that
the election of a Republican President
is pev je a dissolution of the Union.——
They say if the Republicans elect their
nominee for President, he shall never be
permitted to take his'seat. Mr Bocock,
the Democratic nominee for Speaker of
the House of Representatives, and sup
ported as well ( by the Northern democrats
of Congress as the Southern, himself
has declared the same thing. Mr.
Gwin of California, Mr. Clark of Mis
souri, Mr. Garnett of Virginia, all have
proclaimed in their places in Congress
that a Republican President, though
elected by a majority of the votes of the
people, however legally, shall never en
ter the Presidential mansion. That up
on the contingency, of such election,
they are themselves in favor of dis
solving the Union. This ground is bold
ly and openly taken by the leading
Southern Democratic journals. The
correspondents of these journals aver
themselves now ready to take up arms
to destroy the Union in the event of the
triumph of the Republican Party. Now
we ask, if these are not disunionists,
who are? If these are not traitors in
heart and theory, who are? No man
in the Republican Party occupying a
prominent position has ever said that he
would not quietly and peaceably abide
the result of the next Presidential elec
tion, be that result as it may. Nor do
the leading papers ofthat Party intimate
that they are not willing and ready to
stand by the Constitution and Union in
any and every event. So say all in
the North who are opposed to the ex
tension of Slavery. Who are the dis
unionists? These, or the leaders of
the present Democratic party.
Congress.
Forty day 3 have now been spent in
Congress, in fruitless discussions, with
no more prospect of an organization of
the House than when Congress assem
bled. Sherman lacks his three votes
of an election, and the Opposition are
just as far from uniting on a successful
candidate as they were a month ago.
They can neither coax nor drive the
auti-Lecpmptons to vote for their cqndi*
date, The Americans stand also firmly
aloof from the Lecompton Democracy.
It is evident that nothing but the plu
rality vote can effect an election. The
Republicans and anti Lccomptons stand
ready to adopt that rule. The Demo
cratic side oppose. The question arises
now who are responsible for the present
disorganization of Congress ? The
question, we believe, is already answer
ed in the minds of the people. Clearly
they are responsible who refuse to adopt
the plurality vote.
All at "once the Lecompton Democra
cy have discovered that such a rule
would be unconstitutional ; and yet no
thing was said against its adoption when
Mr. Cobb was elected, nor yet in 1356,
when Mr. Banks was placed in the
( hair. It is a sheer subterfuge, and
the country will hold them accountable
for all the evils of this protracted disor
ganization.
Rail Road to Lake Superior,
Our readers will find an interesting
article in this paper on the Railroad
question. The writer is a gentleman of
high standing, and is well posted on the
subject upon which he treats. He looks
the complicated matter of these Rail
road bonds right in the face. He cer
tainly takes the sensible view when he
says, if we go in debt at all, let us have
the whole road, and not a part of it. A
road to Lake Superior from the Missis
sippi is absolutely now more needed
—more imperiously demanded, by the
interests of the State, than that by any
other route. Turing more than half the
year tho South have an outlet by the
Mississippi, while the North really are
without any during the whole year.
From St. Cloud and Sauk Rapids to
Lake Superior it is but 125 miles.—
Freight is no more from New York to
Superior City than from New York to
Chicago. The entire agricultural and
mercant.le interest of Northern Minne
sota is crippled by the want of a com
munication east by the Lakes. We
want a market for our grain. It is as
good at Superior as at Chicago. This
road would save to our merchants freight
on nearly a thousand miles. What a
splendid circuit of Railway would that
be from Ls Crescent via. St. Cloud to
Lake Superior ! Our young State w ould
then excel all others, both in the eligi
bility and wealth of its Railroads. FtCrn
Anoka, the point to which Mr. Cham
berlain proposes to carry the road from
La Crescent, the ground is nearly fin
ished to East St. Cloud ; from St. Cloud
the 125 miles to Lake Superior, passes
over a beautiful country, as well adapt
ed to the easy construction of a Rail
road, as any in the world.
Two million-three hundred
thousand dollars are required to build
the road to Anoka. Can anything be
plainer than that three million expended
with a continuous road to Superior Citv,
thus connecting our Southern line by
railway, with the great Northern Lakes
—will infinitely more promote the public
welfare, than two and a half million,
with only a part of the road made, and
that by far the least important, so
far as respects the substantial develop
ment and advancement of the whole
State ? We think not. We earnestly
ask the attention of our Legislature to
this view of the matter. If we are to
go in debt at all let it be for something
that will really make us a great and
powerful State, and we undertake to
say that nothing short of a communica
tion with the east by Lpke Superior, a ill
ever do it. r
St Cloud.
St. Cloud had, we know not how
many Stores. But it seems there were
not enough. A new one has been open
ed in Mr. Gorton’s budding - , opposite
Proctor and Clark’s. We have not
been in, but understand from others who
have, that a choice variety of very fine
dry goods, is offered for sale there. We
learn also, that still another store is
soon to be opened some where there—
whether in Upper or Lower St. Cloud,
we don’t know. St. Cloud, notwith
standing the money pressure, is rapidly
fulfilling the high destiny predicted by
her friends two years ago. Her people
go along building and improving just as
tho’ money was as plenty as four years
ago, when Wilson said his town should
rival St. Paul in trade and commerce.
We could not but notice the strong hold
this town has upon the confidence of
business and monied men from all parts
of the State, during our recent visit be
low. They look upon it as the great
commercial point of the North, destined
to rank as the second greatest city of
the Slate. We rejoice in the prosperity!
of our neighbors. All we can do, edi-
and otherwise, to confirm this
good opinion entertained abroad of our
sister city, shall bo done cheerfully!
Perhaps Sauk Rapids will wake up by
and by. Rip Van Winkle is asleep yet.
A Plan
For making these Hard Times a Time of
Plenty. Rail Road from La Crescent to
Lake Superior,
The only substantial means of effect
ing the lasting welfare of our State, con
sists in opening a communication with
the east by way of Lake Superior. Our
farmers, then, would be enabled to get
the whole value of their produce; and
emigrants would pour into our bhautifu|
State by thousands The Construction
of a Railroad from the Southern part of
our Slate to St. Paul, St. Anthony, and
thence up the River to East St. Cloud
or Sauk Rapids, thence to Lake Supe
rior, would bring more real wealth and
permanent prosperity to our State than
we could hope to realize with ul it, in
the next thirty years,
The only proper way of effecting this
desirable result, is to take back the
Land Grants and Charters from the
present Companies who have failed to
fulfill, and give them, in return, the act
ual outlay of their grading, which does
not amount to more than about 15 cents
on the dollar of bonds which they have
received. Then amend tho Constitu
tion, and, by a vote of the people, give
to any Company or Corporations that
will build the above Railroad, not only
the Cand Grant, but also a bonus in new
Bonds not exceeding the amount of
Railroad Bonds now oul-slandiug. But
let no Bonds be delivered to any Com
pany until the Railroad from La Cres
cent via. St. Cloud or Sauk Rapids to
Lake Superior is finished in a substan
tial manner, and the care actually run
ning on the whole finished road. Let
the Bonds be paid in twenty-five years
bearing seven per cent, interest, paya
ble annually.
This can be done and the State not
feel it, while at the same time we shall
be the creators of our own greatness: the
workers out of our own high destiny as
a State. It will be an easy matter for
our Senators and Ropresentatives in
Congress to procure an amendment to
the Land Grant so as to entitle the Rail
toad from St. Cloud to Lake Superior
to the same grants of Land as are now
given to the other parts of the road.
But let us not forget that the bonds
for tho entire Road from La Crescent to
Lake Superior must not exceed the!
amount of the present out standing
Bonds, which, of course, are to be de
livered U P t° the State by the new Com
pany, for which °ld bonds the new Com
pany have to pay, out of
the bonus, the fifteen or twenty per
cent on the dollar, and deliver the old'
bonds up to the State, receiving, in re-1
turn, new ones to the same amount of
the old ones, as soon as the cars run
We must not go into debt for any less
matter than would be actually for the
benefit of the whole State. We must
not give a bonus to any Company for a
part of a road. Let us have the whole
read. Just as certaiu as ninety-nine is
not a hundred, just so certain will any
road, not running to Lake Superior, fail
to accomplish the welfare of the whole
State.
There are some selfish politicians
whose whole study is only to make mon
ey by squeezing the people to enrich
themselves. Let the Representatives of
the people now assembled at the Cap
itol watch such men, and act in this
Railroad matter, keeping in view the
good of the whole Stale —and not mere
ly a part of it.
We call upon the Legislature in this
great matter to forget party and sections,
to look out for the sly and cunning ap
proaches of Joxes in the guise of advis
ers and patriots. Civitas.

We are now Saving a touch of win
ter which would aot disgrace Minnesota
itself. The wind is blowing from the
North-west, cold as if it came from the
“Nodes of the moon.” During last night
the snow fell to the depth of nine or ten
inches, and ice has formed three or four
inches thick. Yesterday the thermom
eter gave us the true evidence of the
cold state ofthe weather. The mercury
stood three degrees below zero. The
Darkies made premature Christmas
fires, and have given up all idea of emi
grating further North for the present.
Not all the eloquent fustion of the Abo
litionists could draw them one foot from
their comfortable log fires and sheltering
cabins.
While I am writing, “Miss Mary” is
penning an African love epistle, dictat
ed to her by a shady damsel, for her ab
sent lover, who is one of the bed-makers
on the steamer Paytona. The letter
would be a curiosity in amatory litera
ture, and does honor to the darkey Sap
pho, who stands near, with a skimmer
in her hand, showing her ivory and her
tender affection at every fresh avowal.
It was decided this morning by my
wife that there must be an execution on
the place. The seriousness which set
tled on every face proclaimed that there
was grave work on hand for some one
A certain black cat, an old affender,
had been adjudged by an impartial jury
of the household, white and black, as
meriting death. From parts unknown,
he had strayed Into our neighborhood,
and finally iuto the castle. His manners
were not such as to make a favorable
impression with the inmates thereof.—
His crimes were many, and prejudice
and truth had united to make up a long
catalogue against him of grim offences
He had been caught stealing pieces of
elegantly cooked steak from the break
fast platter while the cook was looking
behind her. He had quenched his
thirst out of the family water bucket;
he had lurked about in unseemly places;
he made unearthly noises nndcr the ne
gro’s cabin, greatly exciting their aston
ishment and fears; ho wore but half a
tail, which old aunt Hannah said had
been cur-tailed by the evil One.—So the!
cat was caught, and Goodwin, whose
religious zeal and superstitious procliv
ities are proverbial,was called on to ex
ecute the sentence of the law. The I
Congonien’s black face turned a shade!
lighter, if sooty darkness is susceptible!
of such n change. It was an unwel
come summons. With every matk ofj
consternation depicted on his ebon fea
tures, lie respectfully declined the office
of executioner. Raising his old lop
sided hat, he stammered out—‘‘Lord
bless you, Miss Mary, I hope you’ll ex- 1
cuse me. I would not sleep one wink
all dis night long with dat black cat’s
blood on dese here hands,” holding out
those huge members before him. Of
course a like request was made of oth
ers, but with like results. Not a soul
of the sooty croud could bo induced to
take the black cat’s life. I was obliged
to become the executioner myself, and
flinginging the defunct into the middle
ofthe yard, I bade some one of them to
remove it from sight, but all avoided it.
and there it remained till the going
down ofthe sun, an object of horror to
those superstitious children of the Equa
tor. Forced to become sexton also, I
deposited the stark remains of grimal
kin in an open ditch at the bottom ofthe
garden.
It id impossible to account for super
stitions. They are, however entitled
to our reg.iet. The exhibition of the

curious reader will find the effect of this

I might offer you something touching
the habits and peculiarities of the Afri
can, as he appears in his everyday
dress in Kentucky, stripped of the un
natural and unbecoming tinselry which
unprincipled or fanatical book-makers,.
Negro-romancers, have made use of to j
cover up his true character. But I will
reserve it for a future letter, having
already drawn this out beyond your
patience and the limits I had prescribed.
It would be unbecoming in me not to
mention here the magnificent entertain
ment given on the evening of the Isth,
by Mr. James Weir, at his noble man

The beauty and shivalry of Kentucky
have a wide renown, but I dare say
they were never better represented than
on this occasion. The rarest flowers
are indogenous to our soil: but they re
present only in the floral kingdom the
charms and superlative loveliness of our
own fair sex, who on this occasion ap
peared constantly reflecting new attrac
tions like the combinations of natural
heauty seen in a revolving kaleidoscope.
But you who, six months in the year,
have the frozen constellation of Ursa

incapable of liquidation; and so, with a
regretful adieu, I leave you for the pres
