From the following. which we clip from
the LoSansport Journal. of Saturday. the
Democratic Congressional Convention,
which is to meet in this place on the Doth
inst. docs not promise to be altogether
harmonious:
"A meeting to appoint delegates to at
tenl the democratic convention, at Plym-
outh. was held last Saturday. The anti
administration element Of the party faced
the Lccompton men, and charged upon
them the iniquities of tho administration
Fierce speeches were made, and. for a
time the water became very warm
Groves, McFalin, and Taylor were the
principle crswfsh combatants, and Carter
and Dykeman, tho opposition. The dis
cussion was animated and refreshing, and
each freely exposed the errors OF his neigh
Dor. A majority of tho delegates are an
tiIecompton."
If there was any hope Of success there
would, in all probability be a muss in the
Convention between the two sections of
the party, but as there is none, the dele
gates will not. probably, quarrel very
fierccly as to whether the nominee shall
be genuine out and ont Lecomptonite or
a Green English Lecomptonite. One of
the latter class will pr baby receive the
nomination, and a platform adopted ig-
noring SO much Of the Green English bill
as requires population of $4,000 in Kan
sas before she can be admitted as a State
in case Iecompton is rejected, as was done
in the 7th district Will the Lccompton-
administration men ssul,Ify themselves and
condemn the President by supporting the
nominee with such a platform? Will it
not be the same as voting for Republican
so far as that question is concerned?

Doct. Forney, the Indian agent for Utah,
has made treaties with several Indian tribes
who have been at enmity with each other
for years. who. though at peace with
our government were in condition to do
us much more harm than the Mormons.
The Sioux Indians in Nebraska Territory
are much excited about the treaty with the
founctons, alledging that the land pur-
chased of the latter belonged to them, and
protest against the Yonctons being paid
anything. The Sioux are insolent and
fault finding. and had it not been for the
presence of the L. 5. troops no business
could have been transacted with them
