Meeting in Crow Wing County.

Correspondence of the Pioneer and Democrat
Crow Wing, July l, 1860.
AT meeting of the citizens of Grow
Wing county, held at the hotel of B. J.
Brown, on Saturday, June 29th, 1860, IT.
vim Sco6eld took the chair, and in a few
remarks stated the object of the meeting.
On motion, Peter Roy was chosen Presi-
dent and gave brief view of the proceed
ings of the National Convention at Charles
ton and Baltimore.
Speeches were made by F. M. Campbell,
Jeremiah Roach, and others.
The following resolutions were offered and
unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That the nomination of Stephen
A. Douglas, for President, meets with our hear.
ty appreciation and we pledge him our unani.
nous support in November next.
RESOLVED, That the course pursued by our
delegates, Messrs. Sibley German, Cavanaugh,
Rosser, Phelps and their substitutes at both
Charleston and Baltimore is heartily endorsed
by US and ought to meet the approval of all
true Democrats. At the same time, we de-
nounce and condemn the action of Messrs.
Becker, Fridley and Edgerton, and look upon
them as traitors to the Democratic party, and
tiOns.
RESOLVED, That these proceedings be sent to
the PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.
The meeting then adjourned with three
times three cheers for Douglas and Johnson.

From the Louisville (Ky) Democrat, June %.
1.-The accept he will be written down at
the head of southern sectional party, and
will be borne along in the current of its
purposes and designs in spite of himself. He
holds now position which he could not
occupy if those who placed him there had
fOreseen that he would be the disuniOn CAM
didate for President. Tens of thousands of
his former friends will feel that they have
been deceived and betrayed by one they de-
lighted to honor. If this deed is to be done,
he is not the man to do it. He has in>
Cured obligations incompatible with the po-
sition he is solicited to assume. He may be
tempted by the malign influences about
Washington into fatal step; but stab of
his party from his hand, of the party which
has honored him far beyond older men, will
not be forgiven.
The Kentucky convention pledged the
party to support the nominee of the
Charleston convention. 1t met, and did
what all admit the convention had right
to do; it adjourned, and, upon assembling
at Baltimore, did what all such bodies have
a right to Undetermined upon the creden-
tials of claimants to their seats. A minor
ity seeded, bolted, organized a mass meet
ing, admitting to seats men unauthorized to
sit in such a body by any constituency.
From this crowd of renegades Mr.. Brock
inridge accepts nomination-from this
boiling crowd, with no end in view possible
but the disintegration and defeat of the
party that elevated him to Office.

habitants of territory wished to exclude
slavery, while only one wanted it, the Sc
cessionists tell us that Congress shall enforce
the will of this one. Congressional inter-
vention he thought was wrong in principle
and he feared in the slavery agitation it
might produce, it would lead to unnum-
bered woes. Nevertheless, if the Supreme
Court should decide after full argument and
consideration OF the question-wEich they
had not yet done-that territorial legisla-,
ture bad not the right to exclude slavery
they stood pledged faithfully to abide by
that decision. He thought, however, the
principle of popular sovereignty was gain.

cause the bills were inconsistent with the
doctrine of non-intervention.
He believed Douglas and the platform
would triumph because he had faith in the
intelligence and patriotism of the people.
He trusted that in the south and the north
they would exert their will with such unan-
unity and might as to appal and Danish
abolition and disunion fanaticism forever.
The people should remember that this is a
great crisis. Sectional fanaticism-possi-
bly executive patronage would seek to in

their duty they can give new assurance to
the durability of popular representative
government and add fresh glory to their
country.

The NATIONAL TIcKET.-We this week
unfurl our banner and nail to our masthead
the names of the gallant Senator of Illinois
and ex-Gov. johnson of Georgia, knowing
them to be the only regularly-nominated
Democratic candidates. Time nor space
will not permit US this week to refer to the
nominations at length, but we will in future
be found in the ranks as an ardent supporter
of the ticket.
We cannot consider the other candidates
in any other light than that of boilers, or
the nominees of a meeting of boilers, and
must use our efforts to assist in putting
down any such attempts to dismember the
Democratic party.
" Sink or swim, live or die" we give our
hearty support to Stephen A. Douglas.
We pledge the Banner County" of Mime
sofa for the ticket.-Bele Plane Enquirer.

At the Tammany ratification meeting
held in New York on the I'd instant, Sen
ator PUGH, of Ohio, in the course of an
eloquent speech, thus faithfully daguerreo-
typed the political Cyprians of Massachu-

thousands who had always fought for the
Democratic faith, but of those ready gen.

party of Massachusetts conveniently small

full walters on the administration. They
were curious haracters-revolted abolition
lists of the olden time; men who, like Caleb
Gushing, denounced the admission of Ar.
kansas into the Union as a slaveholding
State, worshippers of the Wilmot proviso,
revilers of the Fugitive Slave act, upholders
of the Kansas and Nebraska bill, live oak
contractors, consumers of post Office blanks,
loungers about navy yards, leeches sucking
the federal treasury at both ends, walters on
office, and expectants of the shoes of dead
men. Great laughter and cheers. When
thew on ont from ne havino novor hoon of
US, having stayed with US for the spoils of
Office, we remove from our consciences the
reproach which has borne us down for so
many years. The Democracy of the North
at last can look up confident not only in the
honesty of its principles, but in the honesty
of its representatives; and they call upon the
American people to make good by their
verdict in November the eternal principles
of truth and justice taught by Jefferson and
Jackson.

Letter from Hon. A. HI, SteDhens.


From the Rock Island (1l.) Argus.
It will be recollected that, at our late
county convention, resolutions were intro
duced by DR.. Gregg, and unanimously
adopted, approving the late letter of Alex.
ander 81. Stephens, of Georgia. in favor of
non-intervention and rebuking the seceders.
Having forwarded copy Of the proceed
ings to Mr.. Stephens, we have received
from him the following letter acknowledging
their reception
f CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Ca, June 9, 1860.
J. B. DANFoRTH, Jr., Esq, Rock Island, Ill.
Dear Sir: Your kind note of the Both
ult., has been duly received, with the &C.
companying resolutions. Allow me to re-
turn you my thanks for the same. I feel
under great obligations to your Democratic
County Convention for the terms in which
they were pleased to speak of the sentiments
and principles of my late letter, referred to.
These principles, am quite confident, con-
stitute the only basis on which the nation
atty of the Democratic party can be pre-
served, and the union of the States main>
tanned. Should the Democrotic party ever
abandon the doctrine of non.interYention, so
long established as its creed, it will, fear,
be demoralized forever. 1t is very crafty.
ing to me to know that the sentiments I
proclaimed to the people of Georgia are so
cordially received and endorsed in Illinois.
This shows that all patriotism in this coun-
try has not yet degenerated into nothing but
sectiOnalism. The signs of the times, how
ever, are ominous of evil, and it will re-
quire, in my judgment. every effort of the
wise and the good, everywhere, to sustain
the cause of the constitution and the coun-
try, against the assaults which now threaten
the existence of both.
But my object was barely to acknowl4
edge the receipt of your favors, 1.-THE letter
with its enclosure, as we'll as the paper),
and to return my thanks to you and the
Democracy of Rock Island county, for the
feeling thus manifested towards me. Yours,
most respectfully,
ALEX. H. STEPHENS.

The Right of Suffrage at the Presi-
DENTAL Election.

ST.. PAUL, July g. 1860.
To the Editors Of the Pioneer and Democrat
l have been asked almost daily "whether
adopted citizens can vote for President,
after having declared their intention to be-
come citizens?"
l deem it proper to say for the informa-
ton of all concerned, that the right of suf-
frage is conferred and governed by State
laws, and under the Constitution of Min.
nesota, all white persons of foreign birth,
who are over twenty.one years of age, and
have resided in the United States one year,
and in this State four months next proceed.
ing any election, and ten days in the election
district, may vote for all officers that are
now, or hereafter may be, elected by the
people; also
persons of mixed white and Indian
blood who have adopted the customs and
habits of civilization )" [see art. Z, sec. l,
Const. Min. and
Also, "Persons of Indian blood who have
adopted the language, customs and habits of
civilization after an examination before any
district court Of the State, in such manner
as may be provided by law, and shall have
been pronounced by said court capable of
enjoying the rights of citizenship within
this State" Thus it will be seen that
adopted citizens can vote for President and
all other elective officers, on their first pa
pers. Truly, w. A. GoRMAN.

The stone from "Prairie Quarry" in the
western suburbs of Chicago, has just now
been found to yield, under the action of heat,
gas equally brilliant as the same volume OF
coal gas, and the burned stone is found to
contain fifty per cent. of pure sulphur, the
residue being excellent lime. The Second
Presbyterian Church in Chicago is built of
this stone, and is noted for its antique and
venerable appearance. West Lake street is
macadamized with this stone. 1t is thought
by some that an immense oil spring is below
the quarry-the streams of which have per-
meated the stone. The Superintendent of
Gas Works confirms the discovery.

A VERY unfounded notion prevails in
England that, in the New World, brilliant
hues of the bird take the place of the power
of song. On the contrary, it would appear
from Wilson's American ornithology, that
the American song-birds are infinitely more
numerous than those of Europe, and many
of them superior to the most celebrated
songsters of the old world.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June S, 1860.
MY DEAR SIR: The chair which you desig-
nate as the .'chair Of state" is duly at hand
and gratefully accepted. In view of what it
symbolizes, might it not be called the "chair
of state and the union of the states?" The
conception of the maker is pretty, patriotic
and national one.
Allow me to thank you and him much for the
chair, and more for the sentiment which per.
vades its structure. Your obedient servant,

WASHINGTON. Jnne Is, 1860.
SIR: The National Committee OF the
Democratic party, which met in Charleston
on the 23d day of April last, and adjourned
to meet at Baltimore on the 18th day of
June, has unanimously nominated you as
their candidate for President of the United
States. We have been delegated to inform
YOU of such nomination, and to ask your
acceptance of it. The Convention has re-.
asserted the time-honored principles of the
party as enunciated at Cincinnati in 1856,
upon which we won the glorious field in that
contest, and carried with single exception
every Southern State. Assailed, as we are,
by sectienalism, endangered by Disunionists,
and in the midst of crisis threatening the
very perpetuality of our Union, we believe
that to you the people turn, and have long
since Involuntary turned, as one whose firm
ness and ability, whose consistent nationality
and unvarying recognition of the Constitu-
tional rights of all sections of our common
country, can alone lead US in safety to that
repose demanded by every true patriot. We
tender to you our heartfelt congratulations,
and have the honor to be your fellow.citi-
