DEMOCRATIC CoNvENTIoN.-We have inadvcr-
tently neglected to announce the fact that Dem
ocratc Convention will be held at St. Paul on the
25th of July, the same day set apart for the Re-
publican Convention. There is great strife
about who shall be delegate. We have heard the
names of twenty individuals mentioned, and judg-
ing from what they and their friends say, they
are all bound to be elected. We think from
present appearances, that at the next session OF
Congress Minnesota will be we'll represented.

FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.-Nothing of partic-
ular moment has been received from the Crimea,
further than has already been given. A council

fore it convened.

THE BoArs-The boats continue to arrive
and depart, Notwithstanding the low state of

HuMpucs.-We again caution our citizens
against the travelling mountebanks who are
continually foisting themselves upon our com.
munity. Do our readers remember the Fakil
Of silva, and his exit from our midst? If so, lie,
them look out and not be duped again. The
young are particularly led astray by these low
exhibitions, and if parents have any regard fol
the morals Of their children, we exhort them te
keep them away from these pest houses Of hell
Don't wait until the child's mind has been pollut.
ed ,-but gag the gurgling stream before it is toe
late. As we have already remarked, some o.
these exhibitions are meritorious, and such we
cheerfully commend, but the majority are only
fit for the bar-room or the brothel. We give
one more warning-look out. f

PARTICULARS FIrs.-Or St. Anthony CO.
temporaries are giving the .Rise and Progress
Of Minnesota Territory" by c. L. Emerson,
particular fits because it does not speak more
at large Of ST. Anthony. We rather think our

can therefore palliate their grumbling. Get up
book, yourselves gentlemen; that is the way
to do it, and then you can say what you please
about your lovely city.

AT LoccERHEAD.--The construction of the Illi-
nols Central Railroad near Galena, has caused
the sand to wash into Fevre river and thus impede
navigation, and this in turn has caused the Packet
Company and the Railroad Company to get at
loggerhead, one claiming that navigation has been
injured and the other that it has not. If there
was water enough in the river, We would propose
that both Companies be ducked, but as there is
not we think they will be obliged to fight it out.

, "The Times states that the Indian Superin-
tendent has decided that the lumhermen are right
in this matter and have perfect right to 60 on

gratified to learn that Gov. German is ready to
protect the interests of this deserving class Of
our citizens, and have no doubt but he will teach
these lawless savages that they cannot trespass
with impunity upon interests so important to iiie

From what We learn the Indians were in the
wrong, and the action Of the Executive was no
more than his duty, which he at once perform
ed when made acquainted with the facts in the
case.

The THEArRE.-We attended the minia.
ture Theatre on Tuesday evening last and heard
Bulwers beautiful play Of the Lady Of Lyons.
The play is calculated to awaken noble aspira-
tions and inculcate good principles, but some
how or other the actors did not seem to enter
into the spirit of the play, which is really me-
cessary to give it effectiveness. Some parts
were admirably performed-others miserably.
The leading characters, by Miss St. Clair, as
Pauline, and Mr.. Allen as Claude Melnotte,
were very well sustained-might have been
better. The after piece, my Aunt" was a
wishy-washy affair, with little or no point, and
the concluding Ethiopian Burlesque" was a
humbug. We speak thus plainly, not to decry
the Company, for we believe the members pos
sess merit, but we do so in hopes the manager
will be induced to bring out such pieces as will
tend to elevate the tastes and feelings of the au-
dience, as our citizens will attend these exhibi-
tons any how. Therese, the Orphan Of Ge-
neva, is good piece, which was performed last
night to a respectable house. We would much
prefer different class Of amusements to these
theatrical performances, but if they will visit
our city, and our people ,UiU patronize them, let
them be Of the highest possible character.

ASoxYxors.-The Satanic in reply to an anon
ymous correspondent, whom it styles ga coward

The article to which the nominal editor of the
Satanic refers, was published in our paper just
glowing colors the brilliant careor of the present
rtig editor of the Democrat, who, in hopes of
procuring the Territorial printing, became all at
once identified with the Democratic party. The
divulgement created considerable 1uttering in the
camp, and caused distrust on the part of the
pure Democracy. However the supple tool did the
bidding of his master, and at last received
his reward. Now VIC have considerable
charity for him who turns from his party, but he
who sells his principles (D for lucre, and affects
to be what he roally is not, is certainly not wor-
thy the confidence of any one. If tho nominal
editor of the Satani, was not whig, and an ar
dent, bitter whig in Buffalo, will he please say So.
And if he was, let him no longer pirate about mn
anonymous correspondent, who did the party and
the country good service when he exposed his
thin skinned Democracy.
