DAILY PIONEER.SAINT PAUL:Monday Morning, July 16, 1855*£. S. GOODRICH* Proprietor and EditorTb« Second Ward.In accordance with a call signed by the Chairman of the Second Ward Committee, Gen. Isaac Van Ettbn, Esq., a public meeting of Democrats was held in the Court House on Saturday evening, to appoint Delegates to the Territorial Convention about to assemble. At the appointed time the room was densely filled, and there were many outside who could not gain admission.Gen. Van Ettex called the assemblage to order, and on bis nomination Wm. H. Forbes, Esq., was appointed Chairman, and James Starkev, Secretary.The object of the meeting having been stated, Gen. Van Etten moved that theelection be viva voce.Hon. Wiluam P. Murray objected, and complained that the notice given had beentoo short, and that it should be extended.The Chair put the question as to the manner of the election, and it was decided in the affirmative. Amid much confusion a call to “ dividewas made, and being had, the Chair again decided that the resolution of Gen. Van Etten was passed.The confusiou thickened, and soon after the meeting adjourned, we do not know till when.We have stated succinctly the above circumstances attendant upon the efforts of Democrats peacefully and properly to dfc* charge one of their duties, as regards the new election. That there were many people there who neither belong to the Ward, nor adhere to the Democratic faith, was too evident; and it was also plain, that they came there with the almost publicly avowed purpose of breaking up, or creating disorder in the meeting. Many incidents which took place during the afternoon confirm this, and we cannot too strongly reprobate that bad spirit which will induce a man to let personal prejudices, or any other petty cause, blind him to a just view of the duty he owes to his party at large The creators of the disturbance should have remembered that the meeting was called by those duly authorized by the partyhere, and that no other person had, or could exercise that privilege. They should have remembered that they were striking at once at the bond of union which binds Democrats together, and that if such disorganizing actions should be permitted to have sway, there would be an end to the party wherever such a power to disunite existed.Winona Items.The Argus of Wednesday last furnishes us with the following items:The National Anniversary was celebrated in handsome style, in Forest Grove.Mr. Nathan TJfford has been driven from his claim some miles distant from Winona, by a band of lawless men who said they regarded him as “a speculator,” aud therefore he should not have any land in that neighborhood. In open daylight, and before bis face, they took down the door of his house, took all his supplies, tools, etc., and made off. Mr. Ufford is spoken of in very favorable terms by the Argus, which farther states that he was quietly occupying and improving his claim.The following additional plats were re-ceivod at the Land Office, by the last mail.Township No. 106 North, of Ranges No. 5, 6,18,19, 25, 26.Township No. 107 North, of Range No. 6, 8, 9,10, 18,19. 25.Township 108 North, of Range No. 7, 8, 9,10,18, 19Township No. 109 North, of Range No. 20.Township No. 110 North, of Range No. 20.Mr. Upman, the Register, has returnedfrom Galena.The river was rising rapidly.A farmer says he has been successful in exterminating gophers by soaking his corn with a solution of strychnine-A party of three gentlemen, Messrs. Babcock, of St. Paul, and Soule and Wyman, of Winona, started on a fishing excursion a few days since, and caught one hundred and forty-six nice speckled trout, besides shooting any amount of the feathered tribe.The census of the inhabitants, just tiuish-ed, foots up as follows:—Mai i, 1,405*, Females, 1,021, making a total population of2,426.The Complimentary Benefit to MissSallie St. Clair will take place ou this, the closiug evening of the dramatic season, and it is well that its parting horn's are dedicated to a compliment to an artiste who eminently deserves all the respect and regard, both for her professional and private worth, which have been extended toward her to an unusual extent, by our not easily stirred community. She will be much missed by the numerous admirers she has made, aud will be gladly welcomed back again.[For the Pioneer.]PlillilC MEETING AT BASTINGS.Large Casting.—A casting weighing 80,000 pounds was turned out at the Globe Works, New York, a few days since. This is said to be the largest casting in a single piece ever effected in this country.On Tuesday, July 11, the Democratic citizens of Hastiugs assembled in the square} in front of the Hastings House.About one hundred and fifty persons then pledged themselves to oppose the nomination of H. M. Rice.The meeting was called at short notice, but all were prepared for an expression of their opinions, and gave that expression by endorsing the resolutions presented with load and repeated cheers.The meeting was called to order by the choice of Henry G. Bailey, Chairman and William Lee, Secretary.After some remarks by Messrs. J. C. Dow and O. T. Hayes, wherein the Republicans, Know Nothings and Rice men were handled without gloves, Hon. H. II. Sibley, being loudly called for, made a manly and eloquent speech.J. C. Dow then offered the following reso-utions, which were passed without a dissent-ng voice.Resolved, That au organization ot a party in Minnesota upon Democratic principles is essential to the future good of the Territory, and that it is the duty of all men w*ho have acted with the Democratic party in the States to stand firmly by such an organization.Resolved, That while we all acknow ledge and will urge an organization of the party, we will always oppose any organization that does not embrace in its creed the well tried principles of the party;—that all combinations and connections with any of the “isms” of the day are antagonistic to the Democratic party, and that any compromise with the Republican or Know Nothing order of the present day, should meet with the scorn aud opposition oftrue Democrats.Resolved, That Minnesota demands a Representative in Congiess who will not prostitute his official character for the vile purposes of enriching Wall Street Brokers, aud for that, and other reasons, we will ever opposethe nomination of H. M. Rice.The meeting adjourned.HENRY G. BAILLEY, Chair.Wm.
