We have received copy of the proceedings
of the Democrating meeting, held at French
Gulch on the 9Th inst. for the purpose of FORM
ing Douglas and johnson Democratic Club.
VIM. B. Stodda:d was elected chairman, and
DR.. J. B. Stewart chosen to act as secretary
After stating the object of the meeting, on
motion, the Chairman appointed Charles O'Con-
nell, VIM. Carr, Edw. Connor VIM E. Hopping
and George P. Mcclure committee to draft re-
solutions. The committee performed its duty a:
follows:
Resolred, lst. That the Democracy of French
Gulch recognize Stephen A. Douglas and II. V
johnson AS the regular nominees of the Demo
cratic party for President and Vice President ol
the United States and that they are justly enii-
tied 10 the support of all good Democrats.
Resolced, I'd. That the seeding delegate:
from the Convention who put in nomination
John c. Breckenridge and ice Lane for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United States
assumed powers not delegated to them 10y the
Democratic party, and therefore we repudiate
and condemn their action, and view it in
tended for the destruction of the Democratic
party.
Resolved. 3d. That we form this Club for the
PuIpOSe OI cOinuhtlNB t!le open anu iuSiulbun
toes of the Democratic party, and that we may
the better be enabled strength consisting in
unity to further aud promote the interests OF
the regular standard bearers of the party-S. A
Douglas and II. V. Johnson. And further re-
solved, That we heartily endorse the course pur-
sued by j. P. Hoge, Chairman OF the State Cen
tral Committee, refusing to act with that por-
tion of the Connittee who did not recognize the
action OF the Baltimore Regular Democratic
Convention.
We quote from the Secretary's report:
The resolutions were enthusiastically adopted,
after which this pledge was drawn up, and sign
ed by seUenfy-tro names:
We, the undersigned, residents of French
Guch precinct, herein recognizing Stephen A.
Douglas and II. V. Johnson as the only true and
regular nominees of the National Democratic
party, firmly pledge ourselves to support them
with our suffrages, and to do all in our power
consistent with honor, to secure their election.
The meeting then adjourned 10 the following
night, when permanent officers were elected as
follows: President VIM. B. Stoddard; Vice
President, Geo. P. Mcclure; Treasurer, William
Davis Secretary, ]. B. Stewart; Assistant Sec
retary, Chas. O'Connell.

WILLIAM @. GRAY.-Developments are
constantly being made of the forgeries and
vilainous conduct of this miserable suicide.
The sympathy and charity so freely extern
ded at first, have been withdrawn, aud his
death is now deemed only fit expiration for
his crimes. Expectations were entertained
that the opening of his safe would develope
some extenuating circumstances-that it
might be found that others were concerned
with him in the forgeries, and that he might
have been the innocent victim-that sufi-
cient funds would be found to reimburse
those who held the forged paper. But the
contents Of the safe signally failed to devel-
ope anything in extenuation Of his conduct
and disappointed all those who had been in
clined to be charitably disposed towards him.
Nothing was found in the safe of any
value. There were some twenty or thirty
dollars in counterfeit and broken bank notes,
and draft on Samuel Mayall from firm
in Milwaukee, for $500, which bore Mr..
Msyall's acceptance, but which proved to
be forgery. Letters were found addressed
to Parker Paine, which had contained Land
Warrants--but Gray had appropriated
them to his own use. But worse than all,
lettors were found from his nearest relations
which showed degree Of rascality towards
them, that has noparallel in any Of bis trans

LAST SUNDAY was the most lovely Gay
that ever dawned in this high northern eli
mate, within our recollection, and no des-
cription could accurately portray il. Long
fellow describes in "Evangeline," the beau.
tiful season known as our Indian Summer,
but which the pious Acadian peasants call
the "Summer % All Saints" and his lines
will be felt to be truthful :fT@1 t oHA
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical
light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of
childhood VldaaU aGlyie9aI
Peace seemed to reign upon earth, and the rest
less heart Of the ocean AVA
Was for moment consoled. All sounds were
in harmony blended.
Voices of children at play, the growing Of cocks
in the farm yards, i,,o,-s .s,o O. 49,. e-.
Whir Of wings in the drowsy air, and the cooling
of pigeons,
Answere subdued and low as the murmers of
love- and the great sun
Looked with the eye of love through the golden
vapors around him
While arrayed, in its robes of russell and scarlet
and yellow.
Bright with the sheen of the dew, each glitter
ing tree of the forest
Flushed like the plane tree the Persian ad.
crned with nantes and jewels!

OFFICE SEEK1Na.-We fear there are
scores Of young men in this city who are
wasting their time in useless adulation of
Republican Congressman, and State officers,
in the hope of obtaining Office under the
incoming administration. They have work.
ed like Trojans for the party, and naturally
expect reward, but even if they should sue
coed in obtaining it, perhaps it would be
worse for them, than if their claims were
disregarded, and they compelled to seek
legitimate occupations for a livelihood.
Boys, we really are concerned for your wei
fare, andintended to give you little fatherly
advice, but we adopt the language Of Long
John Wentworth. Hear ye him:
GET YOURSELVES Observation-Disclosures is
now reviving, and there will soon be an oppor.
tunity for all honest and industrious men to get
good and permanent situations. Do not ex.
pect any Office! you do, there are thou.
sand chances to one that you will be disap.
pointed. Mr.. Lincoln will have thousands of
applicants, and when he dominates, who knows
whether the nomination will be confirmed or
not, as the Senate will be against him.
Let no man then look to Lincoln for Office.
But let every man go to work wherever he can
find situation.
Cool Down AND GO TO W0RK.-The excite.
ment is now over, the battle has been fought,
and let MS all cool down and go to our usual
avocati0ns.
The chances for Office under Lincoln will be
small, and we had better not rely on them.

The Galena Courier of last week says,
Considerable ice formed on the river last
night, and the Steamboat Basin was almost
spanned by sheet of ice. Some of the
boys were out skating this morning, on a
small slough on the east side of the river"
We published last week an account of sleigh
riding in New York, and nearly month
ago, of snow storm in the New England
States. Let no one hereafter complain Of
the early advent of winter in Minnesota,
after such weather as we have had to the
middle of November. We hope eastern
and southern papers will notice the fact that
we have had no snow in Minnesota yet, and
the weather has not been cold enough to
freeze the stillest and smallest lakes.

A CALL TO THE CHARIrABLE.-Mr. John
O'Gorman, an able bodied man, was run
over by an OK cart last winter, and was
obliged to have one of his legs amputated
He called on us yesterday, asking assistance
to raise money enough to buy cork leg,
which will enable him to earn living for
himself. If any persons are disposed to
help the poor man, with even small sum,
they will leave the same at this Office and
it shall be applied to his benefit.

of these letters were so pathetic as to draw
tears from those who heard them read.

A SELL-A most atrocious sell was per-
petrated on portion of the American peo-
pie Saturday night. When the Frank
Steele arrived, she was boarded by large
number of people, and the officers informed
US that New York had gone for Fusion.
Mr.. Rhodes, the clerk, said that when they
left La Crosse the Democrats were firing
cannon, and that the La Crosse Democrat
had issued an extra confirming the report
He telegraphed to Milwaukee to know if
the news was true, and got an answer that
"New York was doubtful" and said that
when be got to Red Wing despatch was
received that the State had gone Fusion by
some thousands. This was borne out by
Capt. Hatcher and Mr.. Davis. The effect
on some of the Republicans was overwhelm-
ing. One subsidized into chair, turned pale,
and looked as If his "fat was in the fire." at
least. The countenances of others were
elongated down to their knees, and despair
seemed to reign. We used every effort to
cheer them up, but in vain. They must have
passed doleful night. Capt. Painter of
the Milwaukee, said some of them crept
down to his boat when she arrived in the
morning, clad in moccasins, so as to make no
noise, land in faint and stammering tones asked,
"h-has N-n-ew York gone Fufu-sion?" On
being informed of the true state of affairs, they
went home smiling, washed their faces, and
combed their hair, and went to church as
self-complacent as ever, declaring they
"knew it was all humbug" Going home
late Saturday night, we called on Bro. Long,
to whom Capt. Hatcher had given the La
Crosse Democrat, to learn the news. "Too
late," said Bro, "Major NJ has just
gone up to Senator Rice's with it."
