ANOTHER BALooN.-On Wednes.
day evening, another balloon passed
over our city going north. Where it
come from; who was in it; and what
1t was going fors are unanswered
questions. We presume it went in the
same direction of the one noticed by
our confrere in Church street the other
day; which he said was ladeped
with exploded Know Nothingisms.
We make no doubt that the last, like
the first, had ballast, and that ballast
it is proper to infer was the fragments
Of the last Democratic platform, going
north to be put up again, by some of
he skillful Northern joiners.

Minnesota Historical Society.

We are requested to state, on behalf of
the Minnesota Historical Society, that hay
ing been at considerable expense lately in
fitting up room in the Capitol, for the re-
ception of their Library and Cabinet, it is
necessary to call upon the old members and
those among our citizens who NAV desire
becoming such, to forward and sustain this
institution. The annual contribution is 81
each, for the present year, Oh payment of
which due, they become members of the
Association and will I've entitled to partici-
pate in all its privileges and advantages. -
If liberal contribution is made by our cit
izens it is expected the Hall of the Society
in the Capitol, will be open and ready this
Fall for the visitation of members and those
whom they may introduce.
The Treasurer of the Society, J.W BoND,
will commence calling on Our citizens this
day, for their contributions.
Persons throughout the Territory desir-
Gus of becoming members can do so by re-
hitting one dollar to the Treasurer, Saint
Paul.
As all the expenses Of the Society for
two years past, have been borne by the oll-
GERS thereof, it is to be hoped that every
citizen will now feel it to be no more than
his duty to contribute dollar and become
Il member, aud to do it cheerfully

Reported for the Pioneer
German Meeting.

Pursuant to call. the German voters of the
second and third wards of the city of ST. Paul,
met at the Court House. for the purpose of
suggesting the name of German who should
be proposed to the Democratic Convention,
as their choice for the Legislature, to run on
the Democratic ticket; and to consider other
matters connected with the coming election
On motion, Mr.. 4. REM was called to the
chair. and Messrs. GEoRGII and PRonsrrIEIp
selected as secretaries. After the meeting was
addressed by Messrs. REM and GEORGIA. a
ballot was had for legislative candidate: and
the votes being counted, it appeared that Mr.
SCHROEDER had twelve votes Mr. DREssIER
ten; and MIR. GEoRGII, twenty-five. No per-
son having an absolute majority, the meeting
then proceeded TO second ballot, before which
Mr.. DREssLER withdrew his name The result
OF the second ballot was eighteen votes for
MIR. SCHROEDER and thin ty for Mr. GEoRGlI
The persons present at the meeting then
conferred together about the other officers to
be elected in October, wherein it was resolved
to support only those men who were known
to be men of integrity and ability men who
had been true to the party through thick and
thin; rather than those men who are recon-.
mended only by the assertion that they stand
the best chance to be elected, without refer
ence to their good or bad character. And
further. it was resolved, that, whenever it could
be done, it was better to nominate candidates
for office by direct voting of the people. rather
than through the means of delegates, who too
often take the peoples political rights in their
own hands, and barter them away for their
own selfish interests, or are easily controlled
by political wirepullers and thus defeat the
motto, Let the people rule
After this discussion, MIR. FRANCIS WET
zEI. was recommended to the Democratic Con-
vention for nomination as one of the Assessors,
and Messrs. GROSS, p. FABER, and REM were
appointed Delegates to the County Conven-
ton: when the meeting adjourned.
