amongst us bat IN vii have tsSn( (hsse efforts
to bring about the result ndnlpted ard hoped
for, Notwithstanding aii ths truth md falsehood
promulgated to effect such. Why, that offended
pride OF State sovereignty that sensc Of insult
and indgnity offered us--that wounded fraternal
Aeling-that resentment from mistreated and
neglected offspring--thAt any and every sensa-
ton, or feeling which the people Of California
might be supposed possessed Of, has failed TO
be aroused by all such appeals; not even the
ofhce-hOlders and expectants, or the political
puppets here Of Atlantic demagogpcs and wire
workers having the stfrontery to meet together
for responding TO any such sentiments They
alt know too we'll no such feelings exist in the
bosom Of any man here; and you editors had
as. we'll say at once, and relieve the anxiety Of
those east Of the Rocky Mountains who have
been 80 long and SO eagerly looking and wishing
for this terrible demonstration and denunciatory
respone Of feeling from us.
Apparently you are correct in this, as both
names, votes and figures are at your command,
to partially subs.antiate your position. But |,
as we'll "a many others in California, know your
statement to be wide OF the real truth.
In the FIRST place, but bare majority OF the
Convention were individually in favor OF State
organization ut the start--all the Southern men,
bers and several Of the Northern ones tnvorlng
a territorial or provisional government
The necessity for at once harmonizing and
forming some kind Of civil organization induced
most Of the advocates of the latter to waive such
preference, and the balance were brbcd to such
support by the same kind Of argument, and mu
tual pledges and understandings--th brought
Il.
honest anti-rcpublican act fixing the day of elec
ton almost Immediately after the adjournment
of the Convention. This thing however, is to
be more fully discussed soon BY others than
myself so leave it for the present
About half 6f that Convention were, and are
now, pro slavery men-that is their predictions
md plrtialities incline this way, aad, but for the
strange position in which California is now
placed, would be found voting for, instead OF
against, its admission, amongst W..
Notwithstanding all the twaddle aud false
sertions so constantly made in the halls of Con
gress and the Northern newspapers, about Mexi-
co not being a slave country, 1t is de facto just
rs much so as any part of the world; for they
Indirectly enslave their own citizens, and like
wise the Indians throughout their territory.
This is a question | should not now have
touched on, but for the continued and reiterated
nisstatements and false arguments you, as well
as majority Of our editors, are so constantly
engaged in sending forth to the world, relative
to the ''unanimous opinions entertained among
MS in reference to it. Nor do such assertions
and ideas as put forth by me, find favor alone
among men from the slave State, as can name
numbers here from the free States, who have
never been in n slave State, that support my
doctrine, and will be found ready to aid pr;acti-
cally in support of such, whenever the proper
| occasion arrives.
As for your denial of having any leaning or
sympathy towards II new Bearing movement,
will answer certainly found much in your edi-
toral favoring this sentiment, and only ask your
readers to re-pcruse it and Judge for them
selves. Pacific.
