+ This body has been in session in the
Assembly chamber during the afternoon.
We do not consider it entitled to the cour-
|tesy Of oeing called a Democratic Conven-
|tion, though it arrogates that name. It
reflects, only the sentiments Of that class Of
voters who desire the enforcement of the
Fugitive Slave Act in this State, and the
conversion Of the beautiful groves and
prairies Of Wisconsin into i nigger hunt
ing ground. Its candidate will receive on
" tile votes Of that class. A very large
number. of even those Democrats who vo-
ted for Buchanan last fall will support the
reelection of Chief Justice Wilton.
sa P.S M. M. Cothren of Mineral PIT,
was nominated by acc alnation. We
shall give the proceedings tomorrow, -
