After the reading of the Report by Ross
Wilkinson, interspersed by such explanatory
remarks as only Ross can make, the report
was accepted.
Col. Carruthers cnquired if the Report
should be adopted, if the long list of Delegates
from the mythical counties would be consid-
cred members.
The Chair replied in the affirmative.
The Colonel then said that he was prepared
to show that there was no white population in
some of the counties named-that the persons
purporting to represent such counties hao

substitutes of no persons who had ever seer
g those counties, and that no Conventions o.
: meetings Of any kind had ever been held there
a He said he should protest against admitting
J, them. Some of them were reported from
counties where no white man now lived. III
did not 60 in for any moccasin plan for cheat

f move for an expulsion after the permanen

4 The gallant Colonel seemed to have forgot
e ten tn immense Democratic majorities thes
l. very fabulous counties returned in 1851
Mr.. Carruthers proposed a resolution re
j. quiring every Delegate to be resident of tn
e County he represents, or a substitute for on
actually so resident-and the Convention wi
r hear evidence of the rights Of any one VIII
might be challenged.
The Rev. Gent from Pembina John Pen
man here got nervous, and tried to explain
Then scene of confusion ensued. Sieve,
al gentlemen were on the floor at once.
THE OUTSIDE COUNTIES DENOUNCED.
And. c. Dunn moved to lay the report o
the table. He said the admission of Dele
gates residing in st. Paul to represent myth
cal Counties, would be an outrage on the pal
ty.
Gen. Van Etten of St. Paul, made som
remarks opposed to the grounds taken b
Mr.. Carruthers. He said the trouble Origin
ated under the call for the Convention. H
wanted the report separated, and "outsid
Counties" and their pretended Delegate
brought up separately.
DUNN BROWN!
Here nice little squabble snsued betwee
Gen. Van Etten and Dunn.
IN Gen. Van Etten disclaimcd any intentio
Of the Ramsey County delegation exercisil
any undue influences. Who were Il

W. Mr.. Dunn replied that the pro tenn Seer

man, representing the County of Pembin
was one of them. Applause.
