The Minnesota Constitutional Convention.

The Border Rufian minority are in a
dilemma. Tired Of waiting for ma
lority to arrivc,' they have gone to forg-
ing certificates of election, and coaxing
the unterrifcd doughfaccs who are scat
tered hither and thither, up and down
the land, to accept the manufactured to-
order credentials, and take a seat, to
make up the glorious 55 In this game
they have caught Tartar The nine
Pembina members not arriving, nor even
the six, but only three, and the vortex
of public odium into which the disor-
ganizers have plunged, becoming every
hour narrower, and threatening their de-
struetion, desperate measures must of
course be resorted to.
They found a Mr.. Wilson up at St.
Anthony, Democrat,-prescnted him a
certificate of election, assured him that
he was the choice of the people of
Pembina," and urged him to accept his
manifest destiny, and become member
Of the Convention. Mr.. Wilson replied
by informing them that he rather thought
not that he knew he wa. not elected by
the peopi. OF r.ma,::aa. to represent ,ii,em
in the Convention, and that the farce
was too criminal and too Transparent for
him to sanction.
The Revolutionists have got fit of
the blues. To save their lives they can
not count but forty, bogus and all, in
their Convention" now, for the more
respectable of their delegates and the
party spurn their ridiculous schism as
wholly unworthy of enlightened men.

SLAVERY In Oregon.

The new doctrines Of the Democratic
party evolved in the Nebraska bin and
the bred Scott decision, or rather, the
new Democratic party which has been or
ganized on the basis of those dcmonstra-
tions--are making their mark in Oregon.
That Territory has been from its organi-
zation under the rule Of the /" National
Democracy" and has uniformly sent Del
egates to Congress Of Northern origin but
intensely Pro-Slavery ideas and associa-
tions. The last and wsrst Of these il Joe
Lane, who was sent out as Governor, and
soon secured the post of Delegate, to
which, through the distraction and heed
lcssness rather than the weakness Of the
Opposition, he has just been reelected
Now Oregon is preparing to come into
the Union, and great cxertions are put
forth, under Lanes auspices, to have her
come in Slave State The "National
Democracy in their Convention resolved
to leave the question Of Slavery or No
Slavery an open one, and it's spokesman
are now taking ground openly for Slavery.
Thus, at recent discussion at Jackson
vile, week prior to the choice of Dele
gates to the Convention, a young Demo
cratic lawyer from Ohio named Deadly,
who is styled Judge, thus delivered him
self:
The Judge approved Of the decision
| Of the Supreme Court in the bred Scots
case, Endorsed tie principles of the Kan
sas and Nebraska bill, and offered the
best arguments in favor of Slavery we
have heard. He said he should rote for
.SaOcry in Oregon, and assumed the po-
sition that all legislative action to prevent
free negroes from immigrsting and set
| Ting in non-slaveholding States las prov
ed to be dead letter on the statute book.
Said he: Let those who hope to prohibit
free colored immigration to Oregon OK
anime the past, and they will be satisfied
OF the impossibility to carry out such a
law, and that, if we are compelled to have
the colorcd race among us, they should
be slaves
His argument in favor of the ri,a
roce system of voting is the true Demo
cratic doctrine. His position in relation
to Salaries was about right-fair salaries,
so as to command the bet talent, or make
the office sufficiently honorable to CON-
mand the talent without any salary at all.
The latter is a matter that We are not pre-
pared to Judge of; but there may be some
thing in it. Still, it has always appeared
to us that, the more honorable the Office,
the grec.er the pay was"

An Indian War Thrsatened.

The outlook on the frontier in the d.

past three weeks been very omincus, and
a letter in the Pioneer Of yesterday con-
firms our apprehensions Of fight with the
Indians Of that ncighborhood. The Su-
perintendent, who BY tn. way, seems to
be the most sensible Of our Territorial Of

that the Sioux nation shall capture and
surrender to the fort, Inkpadutah's
band Of murderers, on the ground that
the articles Of treaty Of 1851 guar
anteed perpetual peace and friend
ship between the contracting parties -
The Sioux deny any responsibility in the
matter, and totally refuse to accede to the
demand. The Superintendent has given
notice that all annuities will be withheld
until the condition is complied with

der, which was peremptorily refused, and
only complied with after considerable

parties.
There are now, in the vicinity of Vel

send YOU an account OF rich prize
captured Of Lagos on the 10th OF April,
with upwards Of Ell, 900 in gold on board
for the purchase Of cargo Of slaves,
which was made prize Of and sent on
board her Majesty's steam sloop Prone
theus, FIVE guns, Commander Charles ".
Hope. On the 18th Of April, while the
Promcthcus was making passage from
Lagos to the Island Of St. Thomas, she
observed sal! in the ofing. and, as she
appeared to b. beating to windward, the
Promethess altered course and chased
her. She was observed to tack and keep
away, and, thinking she was not observ-
cd, made all possible sail, setting stud
ding sails with the hope Of getting away,
at the same time throwing overheard
quantity of her cargo, also her anchors
and cables, and saving her beams thro
to allow the vessel to work. Upon the
Prometheus coming up with her, about
six PM, and firing a gun, she holsted
Spanish colors, whereupon, Mr.. Jameson,
master of the Prometheus, was sent on
board her, and, from the vagueness OF
the answers to the questions put BY him,
that officer proceeded to search the ves-
sci, and found under cargo Of bread,
-four, rice, bales Of tobacco, and cases OF
goods (the leagers we're full of water),
planks for slave deck, and all other gear
complete for slave cargo.
When the slaver's papers were d.
manded, he stated he had none; he was
therefore at once made prize of. The
crew and money upwards of $4,000,
were removed to the Promctheus, and
on the 10th, after having made good
search, and all the necessary papers hav-
ing ben ben made cut, she parted company
with the Frou.ss ;:..cus, anu after passage
of twenty-one days arrived at Sierra
Leone in charge of Mr.. Jameson as prize
master, where she was condemned in the
Vice-Admiralty Court on the goth of
May, after which the prize officer and
crew embarked on board the Hecla for
passage to rejoin their vessel. This fine
prize was an American brigantinc, named
the Adams Gray, of New Orleans, where
she fitted out and shipped all her stores,
but called at Havannah, and sailed thence
for the coast Of Africa with an American
captain and Spanish supcrcargo. She
had run down the whole line of coast as
far as Porto Novo, in the Bights, flying
the American flag, anchoring and com
municating at the various places among
the men-of-war and shipping, but it APP
pears she was not able to purchase her
cargo Of slaves, from some cause or other,
as IT the time she was taken she was pro.
ceeding to the southwark for that pur-
pose. This is the finest prize that has
ever been taken into Sierra Leone, being
a beautiful model, with all new sails and
valuable stores.-Correpondencc Of Lon
