Tomorrow the constitutional conyen-
tion of the state OF Dakota will re-as-
semble at Sioux Falls. The provision
for this meeting specified that o suffi-
cient number of the members OF The
convention to talk over the situation
should assemble in Sioux Falls on the
4th of May and decide whether or not
any emergency demanded full meet
ing of that body. The recent adverse
action of the house committee on terri
tories relative to the Harrison statehood
bill creates an emergency which
will be considered at Sioux
Falls and will doubtless shape
the action of those present. We may
reasonably look for call re-convening
the whole convention or an adjournment
to some near date with such an tlnder-
standing in view. 1t is surely the duty
of our representatives to now take
action which will give to
Dakota an opportunity TO assert it's de.
termination not to quietly submit to the
dictum of handful of democrats who
imagine they hold in their hands the
destiny Of Dakota and who seek to tram.
pie under foot the rights of people
whose honesty and intelllge nee has made
them republicans.

| to stand steadfastly by that pledge
and that oath until relieved from sucl
obligation by the regular, formal ape
legal action of the people.
- 4-Congress and the world ought to be
given to thoroughly understand that the
state OF Dakota, as already organized
will be firmly and fearlessly maintained
as true American state; continuing
perfectly loyal to the union OF which
she will constantly strive to become q
member upon an equality with the
other states, until due admission is
secured.
5-Ihat the Dakota state legislature
ought to be called together, at an early
day to deliberate upon the best means
oRperfacting the state organization, and
to enact such needed legislation as the
state constitution may warrant, looking
to the full attainment and maintenance
OF our rights as free and independent
state of the American union.
These propositions are put forth in
the form of questions and are addressed
separately to each member of
the state legislature, with
requests that replies thereto be returned
TO the Huronlte Tor publication. Each
member of the legislature is asked to
commit himself for or against each
separate plank of the foregoing plat
form and express himself freely thereon.
The Huronite seeks to place its fingers
upon the legislative pulse and ascertain
from the beating thereof the constitu-
tional condition of the body politic.
Here Is good opportunity for our leg
ialators to define their position, though
it is possible that many of them will
incline for time to the policy of silence
lit is so much the habit of Dakota pol
iticans to watch the direction in which
the cat jumps before committing them
selves,
