al Offices.
The Republican State Convention having
been called, it becomes the Republican people
of Minnesota to be thinking who are the best
men to place on the ticket when their dele
gates shall meet here in joint Convention on
the Goth of July next 1t is well also that
some of this thinking, and the discussion OF
the relative merits of men named for the sew
eral Offices, should be done up prior to the Sc
lection of the delegates themselves in the sew
eral counties and districts of the common
wealth.
The people will be thus enabled to act in
telligently in the selection of their delegates,
and it will afford the delegates timely advice
as to the disposition and opinions of their con-
stituents in the premises. Otherwise, we will
have the people ignorant of what they them
selves want when appointing the persons to
| represent them in the State Convention and
| otherwise, these persons will come here to ST.
Paul not we'll knowing what is best to be
done, or who are probably the proper men
for positions on the State ticket, or what
would likely be their reception by the masses
when nominated Otherwise, also, we would
further remark, opportunity will be afforded,
as such opportunities always are, by the
" still hunt system-for the few to pack the
Convention before, or control it after it has
assembled. To obviate as much as possible
this undesirable state Of things, we recon-
mend that free interchange of sentiments
should at once be commenced and carried on
between the different counties and sections of
the State in regard to what nominations are
eminently fit to be nade;' and in order to
inaugurate this discussion, we on our part will,
proceed to mention the various men named
for different Offices in each of the six judicial
districts of the State, which districts may be
said to embrace eacl, division or geographical
locality of the State:

1t is possible that others have been men.
toned, but we think we have grouped togeth-
er in the above list, all the names that have
been bruited in connection with any of the
seven State offices to be nominated by the
Republican Convention of the Goth of July
next. 1t is possible, also, that the State Con-
vention may deem it expedient to elect four
delegates to the Republican National Conven-
uon OF June, 1850; but as this is not certain,
1t Is not worth while to discuss in advance
VINO those delegates shall be-. If, however,
'ne National Delegates are not named by the
ensuing State Convention, it will be necessary
a. some future period, afterwards, to hold a
pose. ''' 'na' pu'-
