THE NORTHERN STAR,
TRIUMPH OF REPUBLICANS.
Three times three for ttinnesota.
Justice is vindicated! Victory is on the side
of right! Pro Slavery Democrats are routed!
Noble little Minnesota we take you by the hand.
Notwithstanding the efforts which have been
made by the tools of the South to effect a vie•
tory for the democracy, they have been con•
pletely overthrown. The honest votes of the
hardy Pioneers of that terrritory have proclai•
med in trumpet tones who shall have sway in
the government of Minnesota. The southern
fire eaters are fast losing ground in the territo•
ries. Minnesota will be the first state that
comes into the Union with a free constitution.
The official returns show that the convention
will consist of 102 members, of ,which will be
as follows :
Republicans,
Pru•Sluvery Democrats,
Republican majority, 16
This shows conclusively the current of feeling
there, and one more State with liberty inscrib•
ed upon her banner will be added to the solid
phalanx of Free States. The following taken
from the Chicago Tribune im:icates what efforts
have been resorted to, to effect their aims:
"While the result seemed in doubt, the Pro.
Slavery leaders sent an express to Pembina, to
bring down six half breeds residing outside of
the boundaries of the proposed State, as delis.
ed by act of Congress, for the purpose of semi
ring a majority in the Convention. But that
game is blocked. The six red.skin scalper al.
lies of die Democracy, will be summarily kick
ed out of the Convention if they attempt toot,.
trude their copper heads upon that body. Even
if admitted to seats, it would be of no party ad.
vantage to the "Buck Africans," as the ludi.
ans would not hold the balance of power.
We presume that, after filling their skins with
fire water, enjoying a dog feast and war dance,
at the expense of their white confederates, they
will take the back trail to the Red river of the
North, having their tramp for their trouble.

GENERAL WILLIAM F. PACKER.
We hear the friends and supporters uf this
gentleman constantly boasting of his great ex•
perience in State affairs, his large public ser
vice, and his thorough knowledge of all the
public wants. They du this with au air of tri
umph, and contrast his career vauntingly with
that of Mr. Wilmot. Now, what is this nape.
rience, and what hat been its character'?
He came first into public lift: as Superititen•
dent of the West Branch Canal, and remained
in that position from to 1835. During
that time he was before a Legislative Coinmiti
tee, and was censured upon two points t first
for changing notes of the Bank of Pennsylva•
to the amount of $15,000, in which the
Si - - Stockholdi for - of the
State was then a ler, for notes of tt.
Bank of Middletown, not then at par, and pay
ing it out to the contractors along the line, and
also for using improperly the reserved fund of
15 per cent. withheld from the contractors to
insure the completion of their contracts.
During the same period he was one of the
"Panic Shriekere" against General Jackson,
and took part in a public meeting held at Wil
liamsport, to condemn "Old Hickory" for Isis
veto of the bill for a recharter • I the United
States Bank, and for his removal of •the dopes•
its. This, however, has nothing to do with his
experience as a public man,but we cite it as an
evidence of his thorough paced Democracy,
and as such commend it to the faithful.
From 1935 until 1839, he remained a "high
private," always reeking office, but never able
to obtain it. Upon the accession of governor
Porter to the Chief Magistracy, he was appoin•
ted Canal Commissioner. hoeing his teen of
oflieu he was belore two Legislative committees
of investigation. By one of them he was polo.
tedly condemned for giving a e3ntract to his
brother at a price far beyond what other good
bidders offered to do it foe. It was proved be
fore another that he retained Victor E. Piolette
as Superintendent upon the West Branch when
he knew him to have an interest in a contract.
Whilst Auditor General, he woo again a wit.
ness before two investigating committees ; and
although every circumstance connected with
the investigation pointed to him as one who
ought to have known all about it, he, when cal
led to the stand, poor, innocent, inexperienced
• soul, knew enough to know nothing I
Whilst in the Senate, he voted to revive a law
to give slave musters a riglit to bring shores in•
to this State, and hold them here as such for
six mouths in the yetis•. Ili, voted tilt., :1/I,ollBt
resolutions instructing our SVIIIIIIIrs to extend,
if possible, more ample proteetion to "our ag
ricultural, coal nod iron interests," than was
given by the law of 1847. He gave five dis.
tinet voles for different prohibitamy laws, and
yet his friends are now urging hint us the anti•
temperance candidate for Governor.
Is this a record containing the evidences of
fitness for office, which his friends would have
us believe he possesses ?
"Huntingdon!" shouted the conductor, and
out of the window vent our knowledge box, in
the flies of a wanting in metallic letters, that
personal injury ntbrht result from it. We were
at a loss what to make out of Huntingdon. It
looked to us RA if there was a grand struggle
for the supremacy going on there between en•
terprise and affluent indolence. The Broad Top
Railroad and the gas works now building, as
well as numerous other outward tokens, give
evidence that there are some enterprising men
about. But there were glaring evidences that
many of the inhabitants having secured enough
to live upon comfortably, aro unwilling to do
anything fur posterity. With them it "come
day—go day,"—their life is listless, and as use.
less to the good of society as a second candle
appendage would he to a comet."
So speaks the editor of the Lancaster Times,
who has been paying us a visit. We would be
disposed toluzrrel with him, concerning the
sharp.cornered brick he throws at some of our
citizens, did we not feel his remarks to be "too
true." We have a class of men among us, who
like the dog in the fable, will neither eatthe
hay themselves nor permit the ox to eat it.—
Men who "feel their keeping," who aro "rich
enough" and who discountenance and diseour•
age improvement solely from a fear of paying
one cent more taxes. Until we shall bacone
rid of these nuisances, these draw backs to otir
prosperity and dead.weights to progress, by
some special act of God's providence and met.•
ey, we must content ourselves with the sluggish
spirit of old.fogy inactivity which has so long
kept our energies in "durrance vile."
Nature has done everything to make us a
place. We do not fully appreciate our position.
It is useless to go into details about the advan•
taxes tvo possess above our sister towns, they
are many. All we lack is public spirit, noth.
ing else.
Straightouters.
We say, without hesitation, that there is not
a man advocating the miserable abortion nom
inations of the Lancaster Convention, that is
not either,
First, So weak.,einded that he does not
know any better, or,
Second, That he is in the pay of the Locofo•
co party; or,
Third, That he is not personally interested
in the next election, because he is "fixed (des
he thinks fur a few years ; or,
Fourth, Is the contemptible serf of some of tt
who gives him bread and butter, or,
Fifth, Is preparing to follow the lead of his
farmer nutstee, William B. Reed.
Again, We assert, as only nonesty dare as.
sert, that the than win, calls himsell'a Native
American, and opposes Dav'd Wilmot, belongs
to ono of the above numerated five classes—
we make no exceptiou.—Sus.
Ger Some Washington letter•writer, in giv
tag an account of a visit to Gen. Cass, re•
ports him to have said :
"Oifice.seeking in men, women and children,
has become our national malady. Gud only
knows how it is to be checked, or in what di.
rectiun the cure lies."
Pretty well this in the old General, to be
sure. Having himself, by the diligent and
pertinacious labor of a long life, climbed to the
top of the ladder, or as near the top as he ever
expects to get, the old gentleman rolls up his
eyes in lamentations over the malady of office
seeking, and is prayerfully turning his attention
toward hauling the moans to abate it. He bus
done more, we four, by his own example to
spread this ulartnitig malady than be will ever
be able to do, whether by preaching or pray
iug, to abate it.

We clip tho following from the North Amer
ican, and bespeak for it the attention of every
honest man in the State. Sue the beauty of
Democracy t—
in the Court of Quarter Sessions, on Satur
day, the 18th, all the Judges being present, a
decision was rendered in the long contested
District Attorney election case. The opinion, I
which was road by the President, Judge!
Thompson, and is very long and a thorough I
and able review of the evidence presented in I
the course of the investigation, will he found
on our first page today. The decision is in
favor of William B. Mann, Esq., the contestant
who is thereby declared to have been legally
elected by the people at the October canvass,
although his opponent. Lewis C. Cassiday.
Esq., was fraudulently returned as the success
ful candidate, arid has held possession of the
office and its great power, responsibilities and
emoluments during a period of nine months.
The Court sums up the legal majority for
Mr Mann at 518, from the fact sworn to. It
now becomes an interesting question whether
another District Attorney is to be appointed
under the act of assembly increasing the num
ber to two. The Court was, we believe, only
authorized to appoint one, .d it did so by giv
, leg the preference to Mann, who thereupon
was sworn into office. But as he is now legal
ly adjudged to have been eleocted by the peo
ple, Mr. Cassiday's commission is vacated, and
Mr. Mann succeeds to it, that he now holds
both offices. Moreover. the fees of the District
Attorney have been doubled by the act of As
sembly creating two prosecuting officers.
German War in New York.
We l earn that the excitement occasioned by
the riot in the Seventeenth WA, New York,
had not subsided on Tuesday morning.
German excitement is peculiar. It is blow of
birth, and lives long. The Germane neglected
their usual avocations. They mustered in
strong 'force at the lower avenues, all armed,
and discussed the affairs of the preceding days.
All appear animated with a strung feeling of
revenge. They assembled about the house
where the body of stiller lay, and axaited the
result of the Coroner's examination. Then,
assembling in a body, they attended the fatter
' al, taking a circuitous r, ate to the ferry which
leads to the Calvary Cemetery, bearing aloft a
banner, inscribed "Death to the Mutropu!hat'
Police." After the funeral the crowds Noma.
sed upon every street corner, bonfires were lit
in Third and Fourth streets, and things gener
ally wore an ugly look.
New Yorkers are fools if they bear all this•

Great Excitement and Rumors of War
at Doniphan.
Col. W. B.' Thompson, t.iis city, who arrived
yesterday morning from Doniphan ' K. T.,
brings full accounts of the late disturbance.—
It appears that II man named Mitchell, who fig
mitil wither conspicuously as an officer during
the difficulties last fall, took exceptions at
some cowlicks made by Mr. Boyd, in his ora-
Lion on the Fourth. Mitchell sought an expla
nation from Boyd, during which time some in
sult was passed, alien 111,i knookiaal 440111611
down with his tint. •
a challenge was then sent by Mitchell to
Boyd, and readily accepted by the latter.—
Seconds were chosen, and the distances meas•
urod oil and the muskets prevented when the
civil authorities arrived on the ground and
arrested the beligerent parties, who gave bonds
for their good behaviour for a limited period
of time. The bonds had not been signed
more than fifteen minutes before Mitchell re
newed the challenge, but Boyd declined saying
that he had given bonds, but as soon us the time
expired he would give satisfaction.
The Pro-Slavery and Free-State parties then
took it up. Gen. Jim Lane, with his followers
seized upon thirty serer muskets belonging to
Government .d placed themselves in a de•
fonsive attitude. Runners and expresses were
despatched to all quarters (or recruits. Spee
ches were then made by men belonging to both
i sides.
On Monday night armed men, belonging to
the Free State party, were stationed out all
around the city. Lane's excuse for his course
and conduct is that he understood the Pro-Sla
very men bad sent for the Kicapno Rangers,
and he pursued this course for the benefit of
all concerned. Col. Thompson and Mr. Mid
dleton, of this city had an interview with Lane,
and used their utmost endeavors to dissuade
him from his course. Ile made faithful prom.
ises to capitulate and then proceed to make a
flaming speech to his excited comrades, in
which ho stated that he and his teen were not
afraid to meet the Pro-Slavery men in any
shape or form, that they would meet them sin
gle handed, infist fight, or with bowie knives
sword, revolvers, rifles or in it body with twen
ty-five pounders, that they know no fear—nine
Free State men could be mustered at any nio
meat to two Pro-Slavery ones. Ile concluded
by making a proposition which all parties con
ceded to; which was, both parties surrender
up their anus to the civil authorities; which
was done. Tuesday a rumor was sent to Gov.
Walker, requesting the Governor to issue a
proclamation. When our informant left—
muesday, 9 u'eocit at night—everything was
quiet, but how long it will remain so time only
can tell.
TAKING OUT an EYE TO MEND IT.--The
Leipeic Journal of Literature, Science and Art
publishes an account of the wonderful discov
eries of Dr. Graeff in diseases of the eye, and
the wonderful cures he performs. He bus
found the ball of the eye to be transparent,
and by a curious instrument, examines it mi
nutely, takes it out and performs any necessa
ry surgical operation, unit replaces it without
injury to its appearance or visicii. A young
girl had long been afflicted with the most ex
cruciating pain iu the left eye, the cause of
which the most learned could not understand.
Dr. Gruff found in the centre of the ball a lit
tle worm, which he removed, and restored the
poor creature immediately to health and per
fect sight.
A MILITARY SUOGESTION,—Wo learn that at
the recent gathering at Lexington, it won sug
gested by several military officers that a grand
ruVieW of all the volunteer companies in the
United States be held at some suitable time on
the i•mirieu of Illinois, and be reviewed by the
President of the United States and Oen. Scott
and Staff. A grand suggestion.—Cincinnati

Stir Another awful poisoning ease has oe
curled in Massachusetts. The entire family of
Mr. John Jones, living at Randolph, was made
very sick with arsenic, but by the prompt in
tervention of measures of relief, their lives
were saved. Miss Lucinda Ann Hunt, twenty
two years of age, was arrested on the charge
of administering the poison.

A Visit to McKim.
Having occasion tt be in Holiidaysbnrg, Fri
day the 10th., we thought, while there, it would
be a good opportunity to pay a visit 6n McKim
now under sentence of death fur the murder
of Norcross. Upon expressing our wishes to
Mr. McClure, the jailor, we were at once shown
into the room in which McKim is confined.— I
The room in which he is kept thro ugh the day.
is en apartment about ten feet by twelve, and I
is the principal room in the jail. Communi
ttting with it, is the cell where lie in confined
at night. This is a small room or closet about.
eight feet long and not much more than five
feet wide. At the time ot our visit the door i
was open and we had u good view of the whole
arrangement made by the Sheriff for keeping
his prisoner securely.
On our entrance we found McKim lying up.
on a cot, with an open book in his hand. fle
appeared to he tone well, only a little pale.—
His leg was fastened to the floor by a strung
chin, long enough to permit hits to move
about freely in a circle of about five feet in
each direction. On a table itt this roost were
books, writing materials, and some other arti
cles, the whole appearance of the man and the
place indicating that he was treated With all
the leniency consistent wth keeping him safely.
So fur as we were informed he has never yet
evinced any desire or attempt to escape. No
doubt ho thinks that any effort in this direction
would be fruitless.
In answer to the question of the keeper, as
to how he's getting along, he said, "pry well."
we were then introduced, upon which he gree
ted us with great cordiality, and with the air of
a man well practised in the reception of com
pany. After a few common-place remarks ho
alluded to his unfortunate situation, and spoke
of himself as a man who the force of adverse
circumstances, was convicted of a crime of
which he was entirely innocent. To this we
replied that his position was certainly a sad
one, but we were glad to see that he bore him
self so well and manfully under a condition of
affairs, calculated in our estimation, to drive
any man out of his senses. To this he answer
ed, no man knew what he could endure till he
was tried, adding that a consciousness of in
vective° would sustain any one ander the
most appalling circumstances.
In speaking of his trial and other matters
connected with his arrest and conviction, he
made no complaint ngaiust any one, but pro
tested very strongly that he was entirely inno
cent. One of his expressions was—
" The law has condemned me to death, nod
I suppose I shall have to suffer, but my ex
ecution will be an act of great injustice."..
- -
He afterwards said h; was not afraid of
death, and that he should die as firmly as any
man, for the innocent did not fear death,. with
touch more all tending towards thesume point.
In the sante conversation he seemed to have
the idea of inspiring us with a belief in his
innocence continually in his mind. His but
sentence when conversing on this subject,
was:
"Mr. Goodall—l am an innocent man, and
Wynn see me executed, as I have no doebtyou
will, you will see that I say the sante on the
scaffold."
Ha then began to speak of the circumstan
ces which led to arrest, and of his having to
ken two women to Pottsville, of hie taking wie
of Marcus Behme's girls along, and of Bob.
me's following him there, While he was talk
ing of this he saia
"It was gambling and this woman business
which got me into all the trouble."
He also said he had traveled a good deal,
had lived in Boston, had been on the Mississip•
pi i bathe had Ateibbiutigu'ind
he said he hail gambled in Lancaster and at
Reading that he ha-I played and been intimate
with Marcus Behme, until that woman affair,
of which he had before spoken l and that his
wife and child and sister had been to see him
two weeks ago.
Of these — persons he spoke in the highest
terms; said his wife was a first-rate woman,
good in every respect and thoroughly religious
and that she had Lever known of any of his
misdeeds until Ibis came upon her like ft thun
derbolt. On this topic he spoke with muck
earnestness and fueling, and among other
things said his wile was not only a good wo
man herself, but was of a gond family being a
