THE MINNESOTA CONFUSION

The 81. Paul Pioneer of July 9th has the following
account of the election in Pembins County, on the
strength of which the Slave Democracy claim six
DELEGATES in the Convention about to form Consti-
tuition for Minnesota We ask The Journal Of Com
eree to let its readers both sides, as ours do:
ALL ABOUT PKmDINA by the arrival of Mr.. II.
L. BalGw win from Pembina on Saturday. We are placed
in possession of the actual returns of the Delegate
Election there. which we hasten to lay before our
eaders. Mr.. Baldwin is one Of the pioneers of the
West and an old resident of this city, so that his
.tafe ments may be implicitly relied on correct.
Mr.. Baldwin rays that the voters Of Pembiua City
The rest side Of the ricr got together on the let
Monday in June and drew up ticket 10 be voted for
the east eide Of the river and knowing by the pro-
visions Of the Enabling Act that the wet side he'd no
part in the election, the pole there not opened
On the east side of the Red River he says there
were two places Of voting, and the
of course and the only one in the fed-was composed
Of four candidates. and ran follows: JOS. Rolette,
jerome st. Msrtre, j. Z. Wilson, Joseph Versere.
OF these, Joseph Rolette and jerome st. Martre
both from he ret side Of the rirer, outside "the
ing two, j. r Wilson, resident of Minneapolis, was
then flying trip to Sheyenne 800 miles from the
election precinct and had never been Pembins
in bis life. Joseph Versere half-breed living
the cart sde-the only one on the ticket eligible to
election.
Mr. Baldwin Ia Democrat himself was present. but
perceivirg that game OF high-handed fraud was
being played refused to participate, and threatened
the crime.
Well, the farce went on, and Mr.. Baldwin sscer-
tanned at night from the "Jndges of Election" that
there had been only eleven (l votes east, al tolds
and that five ~ of these from Pembina City on
the west side This would leave six SimOn-pure vo-

IA GEIRIT SMITH il announced among the
speakers TO morrow OF the celebration Of the ami
yersary of West India Emancipation, we trust he
will improve the opportunity to give to the Colored
People who will probably compose the major part
of his audience full, frank and candid account Of
tie results, so far as be may have ascertained
them, of bis noble gift Of fifty acres Of wild land
each 10 one Thousand poor Blacks of this State.
We have vaguely heard that most of them either
never migrated to those lands or soon left them,
and that not titbe of them now iuhabt or even
own the lands so generously donated. Whatever
TIE facts msy be- we trust they will now be set
forth.
Tie fact that the Blacks did not generally make
those lands their permanent homes is not amazing.
In The fist place, the lands themselves were COM
mepded BY Mr. Smith as Of but moderate fertility,
were mainly located in tie coolest habitsble regions
Of our State, were heavily timbered land in no Ie-
spect remarkably inviting Then the donees were
not gene rally accustomed to farm labor, aud were
sti less famsrzed 10 clearing of heavy timber,

ton even Of the white men who attempt it fad it

GOOD excuses for the Blacks who "do just so;"
but we could wish that at least half of those %
whom Mr. Smith SO commercially bestowed ga

Death called them away. Be the number more or
less. we should like te know just how many of them
are each this day reposing under his own roof on
tie land Mr.. S. gave them.
We are no more enemies Of the Blacks on the one
hand than regrc.worshipers" on the other. We
demand Equal Rights for All Men, not because
Blacks .rd Whites are equal in intellect or moral
culture but because they are alike human beings,
and a. .ueh entitled to the rights Of human beings
Until they ,hall individually forfeit the same BY
crime. We do Lot expect of the Blacks OF ths
State equal attachments or achievements with
Whites. because they DO not enjoy equal opportunl'
ties Yet We believe that the children Of the eman'
cipated slaves Of cur own State, who have now
erjoyed some thirty years Of comparative freedom
ought TO be more industrious, energetic, thrifty,

The speech of the Hon. Peter L. Able, the
Kansas law partner of Stringfellow, made at
Platte City, Missouri, and of which We published
an abstract on Saturday from The Missouri
Democrat, is altogether too important document
to be passed by without further notice. In the
five or six years past, the Free States have con-
staDtly suffered from feeling too secure. 1t is
plsin, from Mr.. Ables speech, that the Missouri
Shareholders, with whom originated the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, the Kansas Nebraska
Bi)l, the Border. Ruffisn invasion Of Kansas, aud
the Bogus Code, have not yet, by any means, given
up the hope of making Kansasa Slave State; nor
till she is fairly in the Union, with Constitution
prohibiting Slavery, ought the vigilance OF the
North Oh this subject to be for che moment relaxed,
or its suspicious put to sleep.
The account which Mr.. Able gives of the various
changes of name which the Pfo-Slavery party Of
Kansas has undergone is both Instructive aud
amusing. The shareholders and Slavery-sxtenders
fairly and squarely announced themselves, a. first
ss The "PrO Slavery party" 1t was under this
nsme that tie polls Of Kansas were invaded for the
frat time and tie existing bogus system organized
In process of time, it was found, however, that
there were considerable number Of persons in the
Territory ready enough to submit to this usurPa-
tion though really opposed to Slavery In order,
therefore, to include them, the pane of the party
was changed from "PrO-Slavery" to Law and
Oder;" and it was under this name that the forays
were made upon Lawrence, and the attempt two
or three times repeated to drive the Free-stats
mel by force out Of the Territory. But this at
tempt having failed, the Presidential election hay
ing taken place. ard tie population of the Territory
having received considerable accessions 1t was now
judged best to change tie Daus Of the party still
sgain, ard to take Tire title Of National Democrats.
The object Of this last change Of name is thus can
didly and distinctly stated by Mr.. Able: 1T
"wOuld brig them into favor with the Admins
tration and with Congress, and at the same time
secure to &. party the services Of the Free State
