0 ST CI.OUD A JANE Q. SWISSHELM. KDITOR Thursday Jun 14t I860. beward, we are willing to admit that the nomination of Lincoln is probably the best that cdultMiave been made under the circumstances. It is one of the worst features oi a Republican Government, that the men who have done the most to give tone and permanance to its institutions and whose genius commands respect and attention for it, from abroad, should be the first to suffer by its neglect.

WM II. SEWAUD was a man of known and tried Statesmanship. He was the recognized leader of the Republican party. Whatever of strength or of prestige it may have acquired in its conflicts with the Slave Power, is due mainly to his talents. His friends saw this and the only wonder to them was, that the country did not see it too.

For years he had expounded its principles. The leaders cf that party were accustomed to adopt his speeches as the standard of round Republican doctrines. He had nobly defended his country through its many Through along public life he had probably been move consistent and had committed less errors than any other Statesman of the age. It is not to be wondered at, then, that the public expectations, of those who sympathized with his political views, should have been sadly dis appointed at the news of his defeat are, however, very well satisfied with the nomination of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, although we think had someone been nominated from one of the Slave holding States for the Vice Presidency, it would have avoided the charge of sectionalism, which was so successfully made in 1856, Not that abetter man than HAMLIN Could have $abits of sympathy with the laboring having demonstrated iuhisown person the nobility of and from the sitnpte God-giveri elements of health and a vigorous constitution, carved out a fortune complete in all its manly proportions) will, when the facts come to be fully known, have their due force with the millions of President makers of this'Kepublic. The man who makes upon the simple powers of his own exertions, achieves a purer and nobler fortune than the man whose greatness comes by inheritance or is the necessary concomitant of his position.

The former is a natural, the latter is an artificial product. ABRAHAM LINCOLN is surely the architect of his own fortune. He possesses not one advantage to day which he is not fully entitled to bv his own His nomination for the Presidency can be regarded in.no other a compliment to the laboring classes or whom he stands to day as the type and illustrious representative. That he will receive almost the entire vote of the laboring classes of the North, we think there can be no doubt What Harrison was in 1840, Lincoln will be in i860. For 20 years the Presidency has been in the hands of Aristocrats, and of men whose professed sympathy with the masses, has been followed up by.

the most reckless indulgence in official plunder, and it is high time that the efforts of the poor should be put forth to restore its ancient glory. The holy sepulchre of the nation, containing as it does, 'the archives of our liberty must be regained, and Lincoln is just' the man to lead on the enthusiastic hosts. in the successful crusade. Wjjth such a man as our standard bearer, who Bay we are not to have a Republican President. There is no longer any reliance to be placed in the BO -called Democratic For years it has Presidential Candidates.

The work which the Democrats themselves so nobly commenced at Charleston, we hope to see completed in November.

With such a platform as that adopted at Chicago, and sueh men upon it as LINCOLN and HAMLIN, who can entertain doubts of our success. SERVED HIM the Pittsburg (Peon.) True Press, of the 7th we find an account of the beating of a slavehunter by some negroes. It appears that six slaves had left their masters in Virginia, and escaped to Blairaville, whither this slave-hunter (whose name is Patterson) followed, with the intention of arresting and returning them to their masters. On Monday evening, the 4th, at 10 o'clock, as he was walking about town, making observations and laying his plans, he was attacked a band of negroes who administered to him a severe constigation. They did not intend killing him, as Patterson himself says that one of the ringleaders called out to the rest "not to kill him." Served him right! Any man who will so far abase and brutalize himself as to turn bull-dog and slave-catcher, deserves yfe to be beaten, and soundly beaten.

a been nominated or one more eminently crinoline and silk flounces and consign worthy of that distinguished position, but that since success must always enter more or less into every political consideration, we think it could have been more easily achieved in the person of some one less objectionable. The nominees of the Chicago Convention bring into the campaign many strong points of availability. They are men the record of whose public acts wonld not read more favorably either by erasures orinterlineation.s Their characters for integrity and houesty of purpose are unquestioned. All through the mad conflict of 1858 vfhen LINCOLN was the antagonist of the gallant champion oi Popular Sovereignty in Illinois, no man was found so daring as to oven charge him with a dishonorable action. That he has emiticnt talents for statesmanship with an enlarged political experience no one pretends to deny.

That he is a man the sterling qualities of whoso heart will draw around him hosts of admiring friends and the soundness of whose judgment and the brilliancy of whose intellect will enlist the popular enthusiasm, there can be no reasonable doubt. He is emphatically a man of the people. His pleljean In St. Cloud, a large supply of raw material for the manufacture of brides.

For years he led the German Unversities, doing the religious thinking for millions and philosophizing himself finally intcskepticism. The present work was written prior to, that time, and is likely the most of Jewish life now extant. Certainly no one could be better prepared to draw such a picture. It certainly is not calculated to increase ones respect for the chosen people, to see them thus in working dress. The picture given of the furious jealousy of the hero priest, on seeing his.

No wonder the Jews were ever tending to become slaves. I They were the sons of slave ers and could not, in the. nature of the case, be free. Every biblical scholar should read this book, It is worth a whole shelf full of commentaries and those who groan over the increasing wickedness of the world should read it and learn that the better day has always been coming.

They were bound for the Sauk valley, Monongalia county, and came from Wisconsin.

In addition to those the bridge at this point, we are informed that many settlers strike directly across from the Mississippi to the Minnesota river, and many from the St.

7 A SAILING ALL THE Wit 0 IJj 3DAJTS FROM GFORGElOWtf ARRIVAL OF MR. BUttPAKK. OFFICE, Friday, June 1st Shortly after eleren o'clock this morning, the booming of cannon at Fort Garry and the shrul soun.l gf the steam-wListle announced the return of the Anson tforthup. The news set the people in commotion, and a stream of anxious individuals started for the Fort, near which the boat already lay, with the Stars and StripeB waving at the fore and the Union Jack atthe stern. The Royal Standard had also been hoisted in the Fort, and the combination of bright colors and the fcpeedy congregation of a crowd gave the bus-thirty in the Settlement an unusually gay and animated appearance.

The boat was all the more welcome" because she was unexpected. Every person who had come to Georgetown since the Anson Northup left for that post, united in representing the navigation at Goose Rapids as an impossibility. It was, then, with the greatest satisfaction we learned that, contrary to the expectation of the most sanguine, the not only been able to reach long distance above the that in returning with freight she steamed pa6t them without once touching the bottom. Among the passengers by the boat was her enterprising proprietor, Mr. J.

C. Burbank, from whom we received particulars of the trip. It seems that being insufficiently manned, the Anson Northup remained for some time stranded at Goose Rapids, on her way up but that as soon as the captain and crew, whom Mr. Burbank had brought through with him from St Paul, were able to reach her, fromGeorgetown, she was got off and run to the mouth of Buffalo river without difficulty. At Georgetown she was partially painted and furnished and fitted up as completely as the short time left at the disposal of the party would permit.

She was then freighted with all the goods which had, up to that period, reached the post, to about 30 tons, nnd having taken aboard the passengers, left on Tuesday eveninglast for Red River Settlement. By that time the water had risen considerably, and as we have already stated, the boat was carried over the most dangerous place in the river without the slightest impediment. The river continues to rise rapidly, though for the season it is unusually low but were it as shallow as when the boat went up, Mr. Burbank is sanguine of his ability to navigate it with a heavy cargo He states that it is at least one hundred per cent, better than he expected to find it when he left St. From Red Lake River to Fort Garry there is, he says, at times a depth of water sufficient to float the largest craft on thtf ississippi, and between Red Lake River and Georgetown only a small expenditure is required to render the navigation satisfactory throughout, Mrr Burbank is prepared to incur that expenditure, and has already given instructions for the erection of wing dams at Goose Rapids.

In the meantime he is having a barge constructed above the Rapids to lighten the boat in caae the water again recedes. So that is prepared for every contingency, and is willing to make contracts for the tftn.sperto.f goods to and from the Settlement, and guarantees their safe arrival at'their destination during the present summer This at once relieves people of the Settlement of further difficulty in regard to transportation and substitutes uneasy and expeditious way of reaching the States for the slow and laborious one of cart brigades. Mr. Burbank assures us that in future the boat will be able to make the round trip Uai.rv,. a --r over the bridge to the rich lands to the will prevent her running a good part of the distance by'night, and it is believed that she up in four days return three days for shipping and lie has caused all tut town und Str.

His complement of 100 wagons, in brigades of 25 each, are also running with freight from St. Paul to Georgetown. The journey from Fort Garry to St.

Paul, by steamboat and stage, will ere long be regarded as one of the most agreeable of trips. The cabin of the Anson Northtip already been made snug, and on the return passage will be carpeted and furnished as comfortabtv as the "floating palaces" on the great rivers down south. She has also earned th reputation ofkeeping a good tabla. The crew are all experienced. Mississippi steamboat men.
