Democrats themeeIves, one Y. ~. Sbo'c; sAS
retary Of the Territory, stepped into the Speakers
de,k and began to rap for the Convention
TO come TO order. At this the Hon. >; W.
North Of Mortified formerly Of Syracuse, new
York;. a member of the Convention, and holding
in his hand written request signed by % deesaNS
holding certificates If election in due form "a qaorEHi
of the whole Conventiop), that he should can tne
Convention 10 order at once did So nonlinated 'se
Hou. +. j. Galbraith for temporary Chairman VINO
was duly elected. and so declared. After this, ana
before Mr.. Galbrsih took the chair, Gov Gorman;
from the aisle amid all sorts OF hootng, yeihng ana
shouting from his political associates by way OF en-
enlargement moved in stentorian tones thtt the
Convention adjourn till tomorrow at IL O'CLOCK
Mr.. Chase put the vote and declared 1t carried,
though the "Noes" completely drowned the ayes,
and tbereupon the Democrats with Gov. German AZ
their head and Judge Sherburne at their tai, amia
moe "noise and confusion than poor Old Zen.
Csss ever saw left the hail. Quiet being restored
the Republican delegates went on to perfect ten
porary org aniZ alton, and made a lst OF members
elect. Fifty six $50 members presented credehtlis
in due form and were sworn IN by +. Z. furoer,
esq, Justice Of the Peace, it having oeea gwen
out by Judge Nelson's friends that he would not per-
form that duty for Republican Convention. ms
lie majority of the whole Convention even were the
Ptmbiaa members admitted for there are lG2 mem
bers without them, and they would make but lo-.
TIE Convention then proceeded 70 elect as per-
manent officers, the Hon. s.. A. ID. Balcombe,
Of Winona, President; the Hon. l.. A. Babco:k,
Of ST. Paul. Secretary, and the usual inferior OH
GERS, whose names l do not now recollect
When / left. the Convention discussing, Ill
Committee of the Whole, the question OF accepting
the propositions made by Congress Ill the enabling
act. Some objection was made to the boundary by
those who preferred an east and west dividing line
to the north and south line established by the enab-
ing act hut was evident that the propositions OF
Congress would be accepted 10y strong vote So
then, the Convention is = IN running oroer ana
State Government in fair way to be established.
What the Democrats will do remains to be seen
Their plan undoubtedly is to try to break up the
Convention in row, or failing in that, to hold Il
separate Convention. Then they will also come TO
Congress as the regularly constituted Government OF
Minnesota, SO that the Democratic President and
Congress will have pretext for PostPonng our ad-
mission as a State on the ground that 1t IS uncertain
which is the duly authorized Government. How
much of pretext this Will be you can judge from
the facts above stated From them it appearsr
First: That Mr.. Chase had authority to call
TIE Convention to order He is not member OF
TIE Convention, and as Secretary OF the Territory
Lad no more right to call the Convention to order
than the Secretary Of State OF New-York.
Second: Mr.. North authorized to call it to
order. being member of the Convention, and re-
qested in writing so to do, by majority of the dele
gates elect
Third: Under Mr.. North's call the Convention
lad chosen new presiding officer, who alone was au-
tborized to put motions to vote when Mr. Chase de-
clared the motion to adjourn carried.
Fourth Even had Mr.. Chase been authorized to
put the motion to adjourn, it is susceptible of proof
that Sc Republicans voted NO." HE there were
not over 40 Democratic delegates to vote ''lcs, and
the Demo rats rushed from the hall aud Mr.. Chase
left the chair without giving opportunity for dlyl-
sion.
Tihh The boiling members made no orgaIza..
ton, not even temporary one, have no record OF
their proceedings having chosen no Secretary aud
examined no credentials; so that it does not appear
who were the mob that first filled the sisles, voted
in favor of adjournment and then tumultuously left
tie house after making all the morse possible;
whether delegates or mob of ST. Paul Irish, headed
by their champion, Gov German.
Sirfh The Convention is organized III accord
snce with the provisions of law, consists OF quo,
ruu of the delegates elect, and is Convention OF
the people of Minnesota elected and convened under
the provisions Of the enabling act.
will inform you in due Of any further pro-
ccedinss in the matter.
