THk HARMONY THAT PREVAILED
THERE.

THERE.
One would be lsd to imagine, from certain
= Especial dispatches, that there was tran
scendentlove and harmony throughout the
whole proceedings of the State Democratic
Convention at Des Moines, but as more re-
liable reports arrive, we find there was
mighty sight of wrsheids instead. A full
report cfthe proceedings will be found in the
Register of Thursday morning last, from
which We make few extracts, that our read.
ers may learn how loving the brethren were.

made its report, the Register says:

introducing new series of resolutions in

under the platform.

the resolutions presented by the Committee
be the ones, and the only ones, adopted,
Mr.. Dean replied, saying he did not wish
70 disturb the Convention, and proceeded in
his remarks, when he was Interrupted BY
Mr.. Test who wanted to put Mr. Dean in his
seat.
Mr.. Dean told him he needn't try TO choke
him dovn-he could talk him TEST down,
and he would do it,
