MINNESOTA CORRESPONDENCE,
Democratic Festival.


Especial Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune. ]
Er. PAUL, MINI, Jan. Il, 1868.
The Democratic festival at Ingcrsolls hall,
on the 6th Of January, revealed clearly the
disloyal sentiments-not Of the masses-but
Of the leading members Of the party. Though
many loyal and good men were On hand, the
sentiments Of the meeting were controlled by
those who have discouraged cnlistments, and
opposed, in every possible way, the measures
Of the Government for the suppression OF the
rebellion. =.
No sympathy was manifested by the speak
crs with the government in this hour Of peril,
nor with the brave soldiers who hare shed
their blood in the sereice Of the country.
Tic speeches Of ]. Sprigg Hall and ]. N.
Gilman, # not positively. reasonable, were in
Of tic Woods, Vallaudighaln Alex. Stevens
and JEFF Davis.
"Abrahnm Lincoln had been guilty Of more
infamous acts than those which cost Charles
tie First his life, and made James the Second
miserable outcast from his country. He had
violated every principle Of the Constitution,
and all the waters Of the ocean would never
wash tie guilt from his pcrjured soul''
" The Union was i'll more danger from its
l!rofesscd friends in power at Washington,
than from its open enemies Mt the South. It
vas never intended to allow Gen. Mcclellan
Democratic party to power, is The only means
Of restoring the Union"
Other speakers, though less reasonable,
and perhaps more dull, Joined In the general
trade Of fault finding and denunciation.
Ihe toasts Of the evening were passable,
most devoted cpicurc could desire.
The Pioneer notices the festival, but without
COMMENCEMENT that sit was attended by
about goo persons, and that the supper was
got up in Joe Halls best style'' Tie Uaio,.
and the Ptess characterize it, as It deserves.
