The Views Of q Democratic Editor.


Mr.. CowLEs of the St. Cloud .adrertiser,
as we remarked yesterday, has written very
fair article upon the doings of the delegates
to the Constitutional Convention Consid-
ering that he looks at the proceedings of the
Republicans through Democratic telescope,
we copy below the conclusion of his remarks:
We think the people will be surprised and
mortified at the course of the delegates.
There was no need of quarrel there was
no excited state of feeling; there was no
great principle at issue. The division. arose
On . point Of form. We do not think either
side has acted exactly right. The conduct
of each party has been characterized by con-
siderable obstinacy too much, in fact, for
the credit of a body of men assembled to de
wise frame of government. Both parties
can afford to concede something. So far,
however, we have not heard of an attempt
at compromise.
The people of Minnesota have sustained a
valuable reputation for good order and con
servatism. This reputation, unb .emished,
would have given weighty influence
throughout the country to any popular vote
which might occur hereafter in the State.
But If we are, at this late hour, to fall into
petty squabbles, into discussions even which
may lead to civil war; if We are to invite
the perils which have scourged Rhode Island
and Kansas, then we shall not only waste our
high weight of character as q people. but
bring distress upon every class and defeat
the noble enterprises which are now so han.
PLY in progress Generations cannot ween
awav tho enmities which factions. carried +p
too great an extreme, produce in State.
We most earnestly beseech the delegates
of both parties to reconsider their steps, and
to exhaust all just and honorable means t.
bring about harmony and united co-opera
ton. If such efforts are used, concord ca,
be obtained in day. The people in every
town throughout the country will read th'
proceedings of the Convention, and it is YER,
natural that their opinion of our people vii
depend much upon the virtue and wisdom
exhibited by the delegates. Let the dele
gates bear this in mind.

Net Republican majority 4.

In this computation we have given to the
Slave Democracy not only all the members
they have chosea, but all they claim to have
chosen, within the limits of the proposed
State of Minnesota, and two more than can
establish any legal right to seats, even conce-
ding the unsupported and questionable claims
of the Pioneer with regard to Mower and
Houston Counties. 1t is notorious at St.
Paul that they have never had on the ground
anything like quorum, and that they seced-
ed with about forty members present
from full quorum (54) present and resisting
the adjournment which they pretended to
carry. The proceeding is in every respect a
shameful one, calculated to lead to general
anarchy and chaos. The rule issued by the
proper returning officers, and duly authenti-
Gated, must be regarded as conclusive until
the body, on due scrutiny shall have overruled
them, may sometimes work hardships, Gas IN
the celebrated "Peter Allen" case in our
own State forty years ago) but to defy it is
to set everything afoat and offer premium
for violence and outrage. In this case equity
and legality are on the same side. The Re-
publicans carried the great bulk of the coun-
ties having stable, intelligent population !;
their opponents succeeded in what Jefferson
as accustomed to term "the outside rows"
of their members in St. Paul having been
chosen by the grossest and most manifest
fraudulent voting. They have never yet dar-
ed to csll the roll of their sham Convention,
as that would have shown that they never
had quorum present, even including all their
bogus members. We trust that their dis
creditable bolt will soon be given up, and that
those of them who have certificates will take
their seats in the regular Convention and
unite in the necessary scrutiny of its disputed
returns.
