Fort Smelling Committee.
Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.
Minnesota moves along very slowly The
fact is, nobody is very enthusiastic about
this new State. Some of the Democracy
have decency enough left to be ashamed of
the breech-clout farce-Medary has made
admissions that it was disgraceful fraud all
through, and that Ramsey was really elected
Governor, A vigorous remonstrance has
been received from Minnesota protesting
against the admission of the state with its
government elected and organized by the
basest frauds. AS to the admission of Rice
and Shields to the Senate, it is prepostcrous.
The State Legislature Of Minnesota has yet
no existence, and no power to elect anybody
or to do anything.
The Fort Smelling Committee have not yet
met to agree on their final report, but they
will 90 so this week. Mr.. Morris, the Chair
man, will 60 with the two Republicans in
pronouncing it fraudulent and collusiye sale,
and advising that it be cancelled, and the pa
tent withheld, the money paid being refund
ed. The Democratic majority, will, OF course,
report all right. JUNIUs.

Thou shalt clasp thy dove
Clasp her to thy heart,
