Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 3, Number 16, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 August 1859 — Hon. Schuyler Colfax. [ARTICLE]

Hon. Schuyler Colfax.

The St. Paul Times states that Hon. Schuyler Colfax will visit Minnesota during the months of August and September, and address the people on political subjects; and adds: “.Mr. Colfax is an excellent speaker, and bi9~visit to Minnesota will prove of incalculable service to the Republican cause. He is a young man, but a true man, and in South Bend, Indiana, where he resides, and where he edits a paper when not engaged in Congressional duties, he is very highly esteemed. With Trumbull, Wilson, Burlingame, Schurtz and Colfax as speakers in the coming campaign in our State, we hope a sufficient light will be thrown upon the principles of the Republican party to induce the thousands who have been misled into the Democratic camp to join our forces. Let there be thorough organizations in every school district, and when the battle comes union will be the stepping stone to victory.
