PorUt ALTON OF Conference.-The Address Of
the Senators and Representatives elect from the
State of California 10 Congress- contains some inter-
esiing items 1t states that The population Of Cal
ifornia. exclusive Of Indians and Africans, is sup
posed 10 have been, on the first day of January,
lS49, as follows, viz Californians, $4,000; A
mercans, 5000; Foreigners, 5000; Total, 10000.
From that time TO the lh OF April, the arrivals by
sea at The different ports are believed to have ex-
ceeded 5000, and the arrivals by Land through
Mexico are estimated at 1000. The records Of the
Harbor Masters Office at San Francisco, show that
from the 18th of April to the 9lst December, the
number Of arrivals al that port were 20,O69. In
addition to these, it is believed that no less than
600 persons landed at other ports. Adding 10 these
amounts the 5000 sailors who have deserted from
ships arriving in the country, and computing the
whole overland immigration at 10000, the follow
ing totals result as the population of California on
the first day of January, 1850, viz: Americans,
5000; Californians, $4,000; Foreigners 5000
Total 1869. of,he 5000 persons who arriv-
ed at San Francisco from April 18th to December

returned from the Legislature, and to receive The
announcements Of candidates for the spring cleo
ton, but also 10 consider the recommendation of
the last Legislature to send Delegates to the Nash
vile Convention. 1t may be needless to add that
The meeting was highly intelligent and respectable.
AS will be seen by reference TO the proceedings
in another column, the meeting declined, by an
overwhelming majority, to have part or lot in said
Nashville Convention and for reasons set forth in
the preamble and resolutions.
During the absence Of the committee in prepar-
ing the Resolutions, Speeches were made by the
Senator from the district, VIM. KINNEY, Esq, and
from The county delegates, Messrs. SHRFfEY and
McCuE, theformer Of whom. declined offering for
recollection.
The committee of nine having resumed their
places in the meeting, majority and minority reports
were presented five TO four, the fUrmer sustained
by Messrs. STUART and NICHE, and the latter by
Messsrs. SKINNER and HARMAN,a ll dfthecommitlee,
and the result was as above stated.
After tins special business had been disposed Of
in addition to Maj. ). NJ. MoCUE, who Ind announ-
ced himself in the fure part Of the day, four other
candidates, all Wings, announced themselves, viz:
Major JAS WALKER, JNo. l.. PEYToN, JOHN ID.

this time The day had been nearly consumed, and
the assembly, which was still considerable, quietly
separated.

For THE BoYs.-Every day or two party of
urchins come into our office to beg for old papers to
make kites. For their special benefit weinsert the
following from the New York Tribune:
Kites--These being the days Of high winds and
high kites we suggest to young friends the idea
oftrying their artistic skill in making their kites
into the form of living things. II is rather too bad
that our boys should be behind the Heathenlsh
Chinese in this respect; but they are, nevertheless
A missionary in that country says, "The sky is a
universal flutter Of kites counted this afternoon
from my window ninety-three, which were flown
a, various heights with great skill Some repre-
scented hawks, and admirably initiated their mannu-
vres IN the air, posing themselves, and sailing ard
darling gaudy butterflies foated around and drag
ons formed of long succession Of circular kites,
with fierce head, flew around the sky. The ma
jori,y were of merely fancful shapes. Loud noises
like wind instrument could be heard from them.
The must amusing form was that Of huge fish, as
Il swan through The blue above, moving its tail
and fins with ludicrously natural effect. Those
like animals, are also flown in pairs and made to
fight" Now boys try your Yankee ingenuity, and
let the ceestials know that you are UP to The age
with something in the wind worth looking at.

THE SpRIEG ELEcTIoNs-The approach Of the
Spring Elections admonishes the Wings ofVirgn-
ia of the necessity of preparing themselves to vim
dca,e their principles at the ballot-box. We 60
into the contest under The most cheering auspices.
So far as federal affairs are concerned, the history
Of the past year has been fruitful OF events to salts
fy us Of the wisdom and goodness Of the whg cause
and the priceless value OF that spirit conservatism
by which it is eminenlly distinguished. In the af-
fairs of our State the course Of the dominant party
has taught US the necessity of Wing ascendency to
the preservation of the ancient republican principles
of Virginia A system of prescription has been COM
menced al the capital, which cannot receive the
sanction of the people Of this commonwealth. The
system is not only in violation Of their ancient usa
ges, but the interests ofthe State, which cannot but
suffer by the practice of changing auditors, ireasur
ers, Sc, with every change of power from one par
ty TO the other.
We firmly believe that by proper unity and exer-
ton on the part of the Wings, we can carry The
State in the Spring. Batevery thing depends on the
Wings themselves. lfpersonal ambition be allow
ed to intorlere with devotion 10 the cause, we must
again lose the State, and the Democracy will claim
their triumph as a popular sanction of the system
of prescription. Let the Wings Of Virginia bear
this in mind. Let them adopt il as motto, "Prin-
cpes. not men," LIE: self be discarded from this
contest, and the only rivalry be which shall go far
thest in making sacrifices for the common cause
No man deserves TO be considered Wing, who can
for moment permit private considerations to con-
fict with public duty. Wings of Virginia, in un-
ION is your strength. Unite and Triumph! Divide
and be Defeated The choice is in your hands

CONVENTION QUESTION IN THE WEsT.-Oppo-
siton to the Convention bill in the Western part of
the State seems to be assuming most determined
form. The Parkersburg Gazette, Weston { Lewis
Coz Sentinel, and Kanawha Republican, have Ia
ken decided ground against it. At public meet
ing of the people Of Kanawha County, recently
held to consider the subject, the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
J. That the people of Western Virginia did not ask
or DESIRE the hands Of the present General Assembly
any law for the call of Convention preferrng 10 post
pone any movement forthat purpose, until after the
directed By law to be taken during the present year
has been completed and that this CAL for Convention
comes from those who are hostile to equal representa-
tlon and who seek to harry forward in advance of
the arguments ana demonstrations which that census
will bring with il.
ii. That no basis Of representation be consistent
with the true principle Of republican government
which does not recognize perfect equality OF political
rights in each and every member Of the body politic
irrespective Of the differences which may exist, in their
indvidsa fortunes
III That in the construction Of state government
cannot to confer upon Individuals right OF suf
frage in proportion to their wealth. we recog
ze and adopt the same principle, by yielding TO the
people Of particular district Of the State representa-
lion proportional TO their aggregate wealth.
w, That the people Of Western Virginia cannot vote
for Convention, as the is 10 be constructed and
organized under the Act of Assembly before referred TO-
without acknow lodging their own political inferiorlty,
and agreeing that the money and property of one Sec
tion of the State shall be weighed against the ireemen
Of the other.
