destiny of the country, for veal or Woe, as
/ 1t shall be determined by the success or de-
feat of those who are laboringno disuni,e
and clrcumscribe those influences; and that
IN this emergency it is The first great duty
required of all as citizens, TO MAKE the g0-

guaranty of freedom and political equality
10 oil who come within the jurisdiction OF
us laws.
Resolved, That the cardinal principle of
our creedis opposition 10 slavery and.lis ex>
tension, and we will not ACT politically with
any party which does moi commit itself un-
compromisingly 10 that principle.
Resolved, That believing the great mass
of all parties in this state TO be with us in
sentiment upon this point, we invite them
10 unite with the Free Democratic Com

Tins principle, and form union ticket
pledged To lis maintstnance under all clf-

the bulwark of their strength, the source of
their power, and the guaranty of their ma

! Resolved, That Isaac p. Walker has dis
graced himself, by avioIatf1n of The pledges
which secured his election 10 the Senate of
the United Slates-lhat he has dsgraced
the Stale which he was CHOSEN to represent
by the exhibition OF CRAVEN spirit in the
discharge of his official duties, that he has
disgraced The Senate chamber by manifest
ing gross deficiency in all those mgrcdi-
cnts which alone should entitle kfnio a
seat therein-tlal we no longer regard him
as the represent tive of Wisconsin, in the
councils of the nation; and therefore dc.
mand his immediate resignation.
The following is an extract from IA recent
California letter in the y. Y. Courier and
Enquirer, and will serve to alay the "yel-
low fever" which is still raging in some
places. There can be no doubt but what
much of the gold excitement has resulted
from the selfish efforts of land spectators:

such as may be fitting for California;
Bring OF no machinery from tho SLles,
us it will only be added 10 the heaps OF rub.
Dish that now crowd the s;orehousrs at
San Francisco or lie in useless masses at
the principal depots Of the mlnes--no ma

rocker or long Tom used in the Georgia
mines, aud these may be made AT the mines.
Get nothing Of hadia Rubber, except per-
lnps light overcoat.
The tents will none of them bear the
hcdt--tilc boots will blister the feet in four
hou-s; indeed almost everything of India
Rubber will prove valueiess. Bring no
tents, for you may purchase them here fall
rs low as in the States. Bring no alUe!a.
tire, as il will ouly delay you from the
mines, and involve you in serious losses.
Bring no erird baggage, as clothing is at
least 50 per cent. lower than at home; and
If you are IN a fair living business ito not
come yourselves, if you desire to avert a
signal failure. My ground for this last adj
vice is found on close observation and daily

tlnuance of such golden harvesls as nave

At San Francisco all is hustle and conlu-
