Currants it exports, is suffering. The pop
ulation is afflicted with a famine, and the
Clipper brig "News-Boy" has been charter
ed to convey from Boston cargo Of pro

The Second Ward.

In accordance with call signed by the
Chairman of the Second Ward Committee,
Gen. ISAAC VAN ErrEN, Esq, public meet.
ing of Democrats was held in the Court
House on Saturday evening, to appoint
Delegates to the Territorial Convention
about to assemble. At the appointed time
the room was densely filed, and there were
many outside who could not gain admission.
Gen. VAN ErrEN called the assemblage
to order, and on his nomination WIN. ID.
FORBES, Esq, was appointed Chairman, and
JAMES SrARKEY, Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been
stated, Gen. VAN ErrEN moved that the
election be rava uoce. ..
Hon. WILLIAM P. MURRAY objected, and
complained that the notice given had been
too short, and that it should be extended.
The Chair put the question as to the
manner of the election, and it was decided
in the affirmative Amid much confusion
a call to "divide" was made, and being had,
the Chair again decided that the resolution
of Gen. VAN ErrEN was passed.
The confusion thickened, and soon after
the meeting adjourned, we do not know till
when.
We have stated succinctly the above
circumstances attendant upon the efforts of
Democrats peacefully and properly to dis
charge one of their duties, as regards the
new election. That there were many PEG.
pie there who neither belong to the Ward,
nor adhere to the Democratic faith, was
too evident and it was also plain, that
they came there with the almost publicly
avowed purpose of breaking up, or creating
disorder in the meeting. Many incidents
which took place during the afternoon
confirm this, and We cannot too strongly
reprobate that bad spirit which will induce
o man to let personal prejudices, or any
other petty cause blind him to just view
of the duty he owes to his party at large
The creators of the disturbance should
have remembered that the meeting was
called by those duly authorized by the party
here, and that no other person had, or
could exercise that privilege. They should
have remembered that they were striking at
once at the bond of union which binds
Democrats together, and that if such dis
organizing actions should be permitted to
have sway, there would be an end to the
party wherever such power to disunite
existed.
