Interesting Disclosure !--.COnspiracy OF
the Democracy 10 Call an Extra Sess-


ION.
Yesterday at noon as a gentleman was
standing in Davenport's Book Store reading,
he overheard Democratic State Senator |
and Democratic member of Congress elect |
and an aspirant for the United States Senate:
conversing just outside the door.
The substance of their conversation show
ed =" That all was ARRANGED for the Demo-
cratic members of the Legislature to delay,
procrastinate, and put off acting upon as
many important bills as possible-to let the
Legislature adjourn on the I'd of August
and then Indian Trader SIBLEy was lmme-
dately to call them together again under the
pretence of unfinished public business"
This, we assure our readers, was the plan
detailed, between these Democratic leaders,
and we know from other sources that such a
conspiracy to waste the peoples money has
been deliberately entered into by the Demo
cratic caucus and concurred in by the Demo-
cratic officials at the Capitol J!
The advantages hoped to be gained by this
course OF policy arc
Frs, That the tco-thirds rule in the SEN
ate required to dispense with call Will there
by fall with the end of the Session. new
Session being supposed to require re-adop-
ton of the old or the formation of new rules.
Second, They think that then there will
be no obstacle to their electing U. S. Sen
ator for third Session in one year they
think will certainly excuse a postponement
Of the meeting of the next Legislature to
sometime after March 4th, 1859, which is all
they want to legalize the outrage they con-
template perpetrating.
Third, That SIBI.EY and STEELE hope also
that they can with more time to cork, likewise
secure the Capital Removal.
Fourth, and last, but by no means least, il
is desired by SIBLEY who is Railroad Di-
rector, and by the five million loan Railroad
interest," to pass q Tar taking money to be raised
by 1dres on the People to pay the interest on that
loan! a bill to effect this object in disguise
has already been introduced into the House
but they know it is hopeless to crowd IT
through prior to the adjournment; and we
therefore charge that an EGtra Session of the
legislature is to be forthwith called, mainly
to Tax the People to pay the Interest upon
the State Railroad Bonds
1t will be rccollected also, that S1BLEy and
number of members of the Legislature at
one time, prior to the Loan Election, signed d
declaration that the MINyEsorIAN fasifed
them in charging that in adiourning over in
April to June, they dill 50 with the intention.
OF passing such a tax law at the June session
The k owing ones, we were aware. designed
then as they do now, to put through just
such law but they think now they can
make their pledge technically true if they Dc
not infct the taxes at the June adjourned
session; bnt only at an Extra Session called
after that Session had duly adjourned O. thus
cheating the people: keeping their promise t,
the ear, but breaking it to the hope.
To sum up in brief:
We charge the Democratic majority in thu
Legislature with cOnspiring to deliberately avast
Their time, simply to give SIBLEy pretex
Tor calling an EXTRA Session after the ad
journinent sine die on the I'd of August.
We charge that Henry IT. SIBLEy designs
to call such EXTRA SESSION for these purpo
SEES:
1st. OF electng his brother-in-aw FRANZ
STEELE to be the successor of Gen. Shields.
I'd. Of providing for the Removing of the
Capital to Frank Steee's Nicollct Island.
Bird. To secure the passage of law m1in.
The Peopts to pay the interest on the .f0e miUio,
loan, in violation of every pledge made befor.
the election to the People.
Let our readers mark the progress of THU
disgraceful conspiracy; and then, for summa
ry vengeance upon the conspirators
