ceedings OF the County Convention, very
complacently remarks;
It is particularly gratifying that the rcSo-
luton in favor of Mr.. RICE passed with entire
unapimity and it will put to rest the talsehoodS
circulated abroad that there is a respectable
body of the democratic party in st. Paul and
Ramsey county opposed to the nominee. Not
vote in the Convention opposed to him
speaks in such tone as will he heard ana
| the record will turn home the SANDERS and
election falsehoods which the itnerant lectur-
ers are attempting TO scatter IN remote sections
of the Territory.
We heard yesterday, more than one good
laugh at the abSurdity of this paragraph,
from persons who knew the circumstances
under which the resolution was foiStcG upon
the Convention We have stated thai it
was introduced after the business of the
Convention had been completed, and the
greater portion of those who composed it
had left Ireland, Wall & Co., with one
or two Others cheered it as in duty bound,
but the rest were ''mum'
The efforts Of Mr.. RIcE'S adhercnts to
make an impression in this city where it is
known that Mr. OIMsrEp carries with him
the great majority Of the yotcrS--thc partl-
nacity with which they thrust themselves
everywhere, where they have no right and
are not wantcd-the determination they
evnce to create dscord, if they cannot rule,
the noisy, rowdy character OF their pro
ceedings, are creating Il general feeling Of
disgust which will lie visited heavily upon
Mr.. RICE at the polls His hirelingS have
not the ability even to Go their work with
cleverncSs enough to avoid exposing their
motives in the most barcfuccd manner, and
the natural consequence is, that they drive
people either away or into keeping silence
through unwillin@neSS to lie mingled up
with them in any manner. 1t WAS only by
Mr. RIcE's very particular friends that
the resolution above referred to Was passed
unanimously" Save lis from that kind of
unanmity"

PRESIDENT PIERCE AND SrRINGFEIow--
In the Kansas Legislature on the odd ult,
tie afternoon session was occupied with
concurrent resolutions dcnunciatory OF Pres
i,icnt Pierce for removing Judge Elmorc.
\ majority Of the committee thought the
language too strong \ sharp debate en-
sued. n. c. Meekin thought Pierce should
be taught to know his place. Gen. String
fellow did not object to censllring Mr..
Pierce, but thought they might be making
themselves Ridiculous, lir. TihbS thought
they aught to talk like s,Guatter soyereigns,
not like growing slaves. Blair said Reed
er was removed only to prepare the way Tor
Elmore's removal. WhitIock thought the
President should have sent battalion of
soldiers to slaughter the whole crowd of
free-2oilers.
Weddcl looked upon the President as a
mean Yankee and a double dyed coward,
and said if the resolution was an insult to
the President, let the insult be given. The
amendment was finally adopted leaving the
resolution about the same as the original.
