FARGO, May 6.-The course of the Sioux
Falls convention yesterday in committing
itself to striking out of the constitution
the clause prohibiting the exercise Of the
| powers OF state until recognized and
authorized by congress is pronounced by
the jndicious friends of the division and
South state movement as the greatest of
bundeis The Fargo Republican, the
leading division advocate Of the North, says
tonight:
This action upon the part of the states
men assembled at Sioux Falls is certainly
most extraordinary, and calculated to blast
any lingering hope OF favorable action by
congress. The bare submission OF such
proposition to the people at general cleo
ton would Justify all that has been asserted
against the movement for. statehood. Our
Southern friends seem to have lost their wits.
