This body was calico to order at Wyan-
dott, at IL O'Clock, noon, of Tuesday last,
by Mr.. STINsoN, member elect from
Leavenworth. He stated that Gov. Me-
DAIRY was indisposed, else he would have
appeared. agreeably to the request of sew
eral of the members, and presided during
the temporary organization. He nomi-
mated Mr.. SLOUGH, of Leavenworth, tenn
porary Chairman. The Republicans NOM
mated Mr.. KINGMAN for that post, which
motion finally prevailed. John A. Mar
tin, of Atchison, was elected temporary
Secretary.
Various motions were then made in re-
gard to admitting the two delegates elect
from Wyandott county, all of which were
defeated by a strict partisan vote; the
Republicans voting to disfranchise Wyan-
dott county. A we'll known Republican
was inquired of to know if any one pre-
tended that frauds had been practised in
the late election Of those members. "No."
he replied, "the election was honorably
conducted, but the Legislature had ne
elected to provide for Delegates from that
county, and as Democrats had been elect
ed, the Republicans preferred keeping
them out Of their seats, and leaving
Wyandott uDrepresented, to having it
represented by Democrats"
The whole contest looked to US mednly
partisan, and unworthy the delegates Of
a great State, who had assembled to frame
their fundamental law.
Without administering the oath of Of
fee, they proceeded to the election of per-
manent officers, which resulted in the
election of ]. NJ. WINoHELL, Esq, of Su-
perior, as President of the Convention
JOHN A. MARTIN, Secretary and G. F.
WARREN, Sergesnt-at-Arms. A resolu.
ton was adopted appointing a Committee
of seven to examine credentials, and re.
port to the Convention after which the
body adjourned till O'Clock, P. NJ.
