TIE Democratic State Com nt'ee met at Albany
YESTERDAY. There was very fall attendance of
mters and the best feeling prevailed. Thursday,
the 10 n Of September. is assigned as the day for
no ding State Convention at Syracuse, for the no
m,nstion Of candidates and laying out the pro-
CANINE Of tie coming campaign.

Colua bus yestefdsy, and nominated II. 3. Payne
tor Governor; ". Il. Lyttle for Lieut.. Governor;

Our correspondent at ST. Paul, Minnesota, writing
on 3lst ut, states that the Democratic Consti.u
tional Convention had organized at last, and that
both the democrats and republicans were hard at
work periectIng the organic law of the Territory.
So far nothing had transpired to indicate the cha
racser Of the constitutions about TO be put
forth. II was generally believed however, tina.
there would be no essential difference in the two.
The question that is to be prominently put before
the people, when the constitutions are submitted for
ratification Is with regard to the regularity Of the
frs. day proceedings Of the members; and in this
respect II is assumed that the democrats are sus
tanned both by parliamentary Ia and usage In such
cases. The republicans hare passed resolutions
charging their opponents with designing to prevent
the immediate admission Of the Territory into the
Union, and calling on the people to hold meetings
and express their view az 10 the question Of admis
SIGN. The contest viii undoubtedly be avery spi
rited one, and viii draw largely on the oratorical
capacity Of both parties.
