by this allowance, and by giving delegate
to each Of the organized counties which
lacked the requisite number of votes to make
up the unit, or its emitting fraction the
whole number of delegates was increased to
two hundred and seventy-nine.
1t will thus be seen that the Convention is
composed of double the number of delegates
than is usual. We believe this to be good
policy. 1t removes the Convention farther
from the dangerous plottings of politicians
and office-seekers, and places it entirely un-
der the control of the bona fde representa-
tives of the people. A small Convention
may be controlled in its deliberations by
the management and chicanery of profes-
sional wirepullers, but an assemblage of
several hundred delegates, it will be i'm
possible to affect, and the deliberations of
such body will faithfully and fearlessly
indicate the popular will.
The time between the assembling of the
Convention and the Presidential election,
will afford ample opportunity to thoroughly
canvass the State, and ensure glorious
Democratic triumph in November.

Wagon Road to Superior.

At last, we are to have wagon road,
and good one, from ST. Paul to Superior.
We learn from Mr.. TRorT, of Chengwatana,
that the Pine county road, from that place
to Kettle river, distance of thirty miles,
will be completed about the first of Sep
TENDER. From Kettle river to the Lake,
the citizens of Superior are having the mil
itary road repaired, and placed in good Or
der this section will be ready Tor travel
by the first Of August. Early in Septem-
Der, therefore, there will be a good road
for wagons, carriages, ETC., from this city to
Superior. The distance is $50 miles. BUR-
BANK & Co., who have the mail contract,
will put OF this route, a line of four horse
Concord coaches, and summer trip be-
tween st. Paul and the Lake can be made
with speed and comfort We anticipate a
largely increased travel, both of pleasure
and business character, upon the completion
of this important, but hitherto neglected
avenue OF communication.

The TREMENDOUS BRECKENRIDGE DEM
oNsrRAT1oN AT RED W1NG.--Accounts have
been published in the Buchanan. Republican
papers of an enthusiastic demonstration Of
approval, by the Democracy of Red Wing,
of the nomination of Mr.. Breckenridge, by
the Boilers Convention. The facts, about
this great demonstration, have been de-
tailed to US by gentleman from that city,
and are as follows: That there is but one
Breckenridge man there-that all other
Democrats are for Douglas--that when
Breckinridge's nomination was received,
this one man, bought ten pounds OF powder,
and borrowed gun belonging to the Re
publicans, to fire salute--that he could not
get Democrat to assist him, and finally
hired little boy to " tend vent" and load
ed it and fired it himself, ten times, and az
forwards, solitary and alone, leaped upon
the top of the gun, waved his hat and gave
three cheers, to the great amusement of all
parties. This is the whole story of the
"great demonstration at Red Wing" as
detailed by an impartial witness. Its effect
through the State and country will be "tre-
men.ie Gus and fearful to behold"

The Indian Scare---A Humbug.

From the Daily of the 18th.
"Just as we predicted" the ramors OF
wars, and scalpings, and house.burnings,
from Stearns county, turn out to be wholly
untounded. We learn from the St. Cloud
Democrat, received last evening, that on
"Wednesday last, a messenger arrived in st.
Cloud with the intelligence Of an Indian
attack at the Siour Agency on the Minnso.
ia, and that the Agent, Interpreters, men,
women, and children in that vicinity, had
been murdered and the Indians were
crossing the country towards Forest City,
committing the most horrible outrages. Says
Mrs. Swisshelm
Soon the town (St. Cloud began to fill with
! women and children from Maine Prairie, Grand
| Lake, Rockville and all down the Sank Valley
Ihey come on foot and by every kind of convey
ance, and the cattle from Maine Prairie were
mostly driven into st. Cloud to cut of the sup
| plies OF the advancing savages. The women
and children of Forest City Kingston and Fair
| Haven it was said had all fed to Clear Water
| as nearer point than this.
The st. Cloud Guards turned out and almost
every man in town volunteered TO 90 and meet
| lue ILLS W DIS lclL 10 DE IInDruQenL,
| as some of the ladies were greatly alarmed:
and there was a possibility that if the report
were true, party might surprise the town.
! So one hundred men fastened to the relief of
the men on Maine Prairie, who were determined
to stand by their property. Other men were
organized, and kept up patrol on all that
side of the town west Of the river 1t was ar
ranged that if there were any cause Of alarm
in the night sentry should haste to the Saw
Mill of Fowler & Owen, where man was Sta
toned to keep up steam, and was to blow the
whistle for all the women and children to go
to the Stearns House. Fowler staid at his
Ferry close by, and pledged US all that he
would run the boat until he took over every
body who wanted to go. 1t was night of
anxiety, for those who did not believe in the
possibility of a hostile Indian getting in here,
were in sympathy with the settlers back The
morning SIM shines brightly-it is nine o'clock
1.-The men have not yet returned from Maine
Prairie, but message has come that they have
| found no Indians.
LATER. Gen. Lowry has arrived, and the
militia are returning. The scouts sent on to
| Forest City have come back reporting that the
citizens there have heard of no Indians this side
of Fort Ridgely, which is situated $50 miles
| distant.

How a. j. EdgertOn Deceived the
People of Mower and Dodge Counties.

The voters of Mower and Dodge counties,
in 1858, were humbugged into electing Mr..
A. j. EDGERToN to the State Senate, by the
earnestness of his professions of devotion to
the cause of Popular Sovereignty, and its
gallant champion, STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS
But EDGERToN, at Charleston and Balti-
more, had neither the honesty or fmness to
carry out his professions; he joined the dis
union secessionists, and in the card which
he with others has published, he declares
his centre and cordial assent" of YANcEY's
slave code platform, and the boiling candi-
dates, BRECKENRIDGE and LANE. The
Rochester Post, (Republcan) Of the TIN, in
noticing EDGERTGNs apostasy from the
principles he protested when a candidate
says:
1t happened to fall to our lot, in the con>
test for members Of the Legislature which
took place in the fall of 1858, to BE- a resi-
dent of the district, Consisting OF Mower
and Dodge counties,) in which Judge Edg-
erton was the Democratic candidate for
Senator; and, in the Canvass which be made
in the district, to have listened to several of
his speeches upon the subject of National
politics, and particularly with reference to
the "gur-reat pur-rinciple" Of Popular
Sovereignty. 1t will occur to the voters of
Mower county, (who are persistenty free>
labor, as well in their principles as their
votes,) that Judge Edgerton took advanced
Douglas ground on the subject of Slavery
in the territories. He found it difficult to
say enough in praise OF Douglas for his OPP
position to the Presidents Lecompton poll
cy, or in condemnation of Mr.. Buchanan
for his course on the same question. H.
deed, be out~Douglas-ed Douglas in bis
advocacy of the Squatter Principle, even
going SO far as to repudiate the bred Scott
Decision, in all particulars wherein it con-
tiicted with the great theory of the Illinois
Senator; and the Judge will remember that,
in his anxiety to secure the votes and
achieve the honors of State Senatorial
election, he, on several different occasions
found it exceedingly difficult to determine
the line which separated his from Republ.
can notwithstanding that the most GER
tain way to secure the freedom of the terri
tories-an object which he and the Repub>
lican party were alike anxious to secure
was to carry out the principles of Popular
Sovereignty which we're so very dear to his
susceptible heart.

Mrs. Sxvisshelm on Matrimony.

A few weeks since, Mrs SwIssHELM ad-
vertised in the st. Cloud Democrat, for
women; not for one or two, but for dozens
to supply the luckless bachelors of st.
Cloud with helpmeets, &c. We notice in
the last Democrat that Mrs. S. has met with
response, which she publishes. 1t is as
follows:
If you have any first-class widower or bache-
lOr among the lot you speak OF who wants wife
bad enough to send for her, then l am YOUR
woman; widow of 33 with daughter II, and
too far reduced in circumstances to enjoy the
luxury of single blessedness longer in comfort.
So, if any one up there will send for me and
daughter, soon, we shall be only too happy to
come; or, he may write me and send his like
ness and | will do the same--modesty, of
course, forbids my warranting perfect satisfac-
ton on my part. hope you will exert your
influence, Mrs. S., in my behalf; l have no
relatives, and my daughter are alone in the
world. l should be glad to find congenial
companion and home. have been alone
two years. Believe that this is in good faith.
Such an appeal as this, from widow
of SO, with daughter of H." meets with
Indifferent encouragement from JANE. She
backs down from her proffer and says that
she "would prefer standing sponsor for Mr..
BUCHANAN's last veto and Mrs. BELzEBUBs
next baby" to aiding her inquiring female
friend to husband, and would rather help
dress her male acquaintance " in shrouds
than assist them into such connection"
Dear Mrs. S., when you indulge in such
terrible forebodings, do you speak from
your own experience? You certainly give
one an impressive idea of your opposition to
marrying and giving in marriage, when you
prefer to join in christening BELzEBUB's
youngsters, to helping friend to hus-
band, especially when it is considered where
the christening would be likely to come of:
1t is virtually saying you would be id
if you would.

A Douglas Recruit.

1t will be seen by the manly, patriotic
letter of JOHN EsA1As WARREN, ESQ, for
merly United States District Attorney for
Minnesota,) elsewhere published, that, in
spite of his consistent and ardent devotion
to the Administration of JAMES BUCHANAN,
he is now cordially enlisted for the cam
paign, under the banner OF DOUGLAS and
JOHNSON. So they go. The BRECKENRIDGE
faction in this State is already confined to
the office holders, and it lacks large per.
centage of numbering all Of them.

The Prospects of the Farmers.

The advices from Europe justify us in
expecting a very large demand for bread
stuffs during the coming year. The season
has been so wet and cold in England that a
deficiency of at least four million quarters
is already estimated as certain, while the
supply in the markets of the United King
dom of Great Britain is less by about one
million six hundred thousand quarters than
last year at the same date. Private letters
from the highest banking authorities confirm
the statements of the public press, and pre-
dict large demand for American produce.
Nor is this impending scarcity confined to
the British islands. The continent is not
likely to to have any surplus. All accounts
agree that the crops throughout central
Europe have suffered much from the severity
of the weather. On the other hand, Prov,
idence has favored this country with the
assurance of a GROWING harvest.
There will be an unusually large yield in
Minnesota this year. 1t is believed that
three times the amount of land is under cul-
tivation that there was last year, and in
every part of the state the crops are looking
splendid. In the timber regions, where
winter wheat is sure crop, the harvest has
already commenced. If the weather is pro-
pitious during the ensuing three weeks,
Minnesota will astonish the world.
The only misfortune which has befallen
the growing crops in this State, was caused
by severe hail storm which visited por-
ton of Dacotah county on Tuesday Of last
week. One man alone, as we learn from
the Hastings Demo crat, loses ITO acres of
wheat, and several others are sufferers to an
extent not much less, the whole loss being
nearly equally to 1000 acres of fine crops.
Such was the destructive force of this storm
in that vicinity, that the grain was battered
into one tangled mass upon the ground, and
is completely ruined.
The Winona Republican which is usually
well posted as to the southern part of the
state, in its issue of the 9th, says:
From other portions of the State. we have no
account of any material injury having been
done by the storm of Tuesday evening. A
heavy hail storm passed over the country Dor.
dering the river, on that evening, and in sever.
al places the crops were blown down, but in
most instances they soon Strengthened up on
the following day. 1t is fair to presume, there.
fore, that the permanent damage to crops in
this state, was confined to Dacotah county.
Since Tuesday, the weather has been cool,
and with the exception of few light showers,
quite favorable to all kinds of growing crops.
At the present writing, however, the sky indi.
Gates more rain. Two or three weeks of dry
weather from this time would prove an inesti-
mable blessing to Minnesota. Winter wheat
will soon be ready for harvesting-much of it
within the next ten days.
A gentleman who has recently been
through Stearns and Meeker counties, in
forms us that the grain is remarkably luxu-
RANT, and that many fields of rye are about
ready to be harvested.

The Breckenridge Platform Pledges
their Party to REOPEN the Slave
Trade.

The Providence Post calls attention TO
the plain, unquestionable tact, that the plat
form of the seceders pledges their party, not
only to protect slave property in the Terri
tories, but on board the slave ships should
not be lost sight of by our people. The
following are the resolutions in which we
find this doctrine emphatically enunciated
l. The government of Territory organized
by an act Of Congress, is provisional and tenn
pOrary, and during its existence all citizens of
the United States have an equal right to settle
with their property in the Territory, without
their rights. either Of person or property, being
destroyed or injured by Congressional or Ter.
rtOrial Legislation.
2. That it is the duty of the federal govern
ment in all its departments, to protect, when
necessary, the rights of persons and property
in the Territories, and wherever else its consti-
tutional authority extends.
The plain English of this is, that the Con-
stitution of the United States carries slavery
into the territories, and that oil the depart.
naents of the government, including the leg
islative, of course, should protect it there,
and not only there, but ,cherever else the goo.
ernment'S constitutional authority e1tends.
Thus slave ship from Africa, when she
arrives within three miles OF the American
coast, being then under federal jurisdiction,
must be protected by the federal government.
The owner of the slaves has only to present
his bill of sale from an African chief, and
Mr.. Breckenridge and his party are bound,
solemnly bound, to bring the government,
in all its departments, at once to its support.
They must protect his property, wherever
the constitutional authority of the govern
ment extends and certainly il extends to
our sea-coast.
OF course this platform is pledge to re-
peal the laws against the slave trade. They
must be swept from the statute book, and
in their place we must have slave code for
the territories, and a law TO facilitate the
landing of slaves on the Southern coast,
