To the People Of LOWndeS County.

THE undersigned having consented if elected,
to represent you, in the Convention to assemble
at Jackson, IN November next, feel it duty they
owe to themselves, as well as to the people, fully
to place before them, the opinions they entertain,
in relation to the subjects which the Conyen-
ton is called to deliberate.
We are aware that Misrepresentation has been
busy in every portion Of the county, denouncing
us as disu,ionists and traitors. We have patient
" submitted to this outrage, knowing, that in a
free country Ike ours errors of opinion, or even
malicious defamation may be safely tolerated, for
the while, where truth and reason and the honest
hearts of 5ast and patriotic people, left us
to combat them.
We have only to say to you, that we are,
and ever have been, the ardent friends of our
Constitutional MISUNDERSTANDING that IN Il will be
found the surest protection to the rights of the
States against all encroachments foreign or do
nestle. The best mode to preserve consttd-
tional rights and the union Of the States is what
all should desire.
Referring ycu to the annexed resolutions, adop-
ted upon mature delberaton, by the friends whom
we represent, fer opinions on this subject we
trust that amcng friends, neighbors and acquaint-
ances throug hout the county, who have known and
conided in integrity for the last fifteen years,
in different capacities that do not ask too much,
when we ask them to believe, that these are oar
opinions. We do not agree with either the Sub
missionists or the Disunionists. We regard them
both as ENTHUSIASTICALLY dangerous to the rights
of the States and the union of the States. We
are responsible for opinions save our own,
which We here spread before you for your calm
reflection.
While we shall maintain the principles here as
serted, with proper frmness and with what of a
bility some experience in life and business, and
much observation and reflection, may enable us,
we shall not forget, trust, the freedom of opin
ion which belongs to others
We have no denunciatiUns for the friends O.
Southern institutions, whose zeal in cause may
have influenced their better judgments. This pa
triotic ardor, we are told by Jefferson, is spirit
to be repressed-not extnguished We should
guard, restrain, subdue, but not destroy it. 1t;
entire absence, exhibited in those who are ready a
strangers bidding, to imbrue their hands in the
blood of the citizens of their own State const
tutes, in our estimation, our worst enemy.
We hope to see you before the election, that WI
may explain to you fully, the principles set fortl
IN the annexed resolutions-and trust that we shall
have your hearty cooperation, in endeavoring t.
promote-what we desire above all other consider
ations-the common good
we are, very respectfully,
Your obt servants

The storm Of the past week has proved
most disastrous along the line Of the

much longer. Although large amoan'

Some time ago we published an ae-
count OF a most desperate affair between
The Squatters & the authorities and ci,i-
zens of Sacramento City. In common
with the public. we supposed tina. Mr..
Allen. principal actor, was dead. The
following. which we cut from the last
Brunswicker, pslniedin Brunswick, Mo-.
gives very new and unexpected place
to the MISTER. That paper says:
"James Allen, who was reported az
killed in the Squa,.er war al Sacrament
TO City, is nos living at hose, in Nay
county in this State. A, the time Of
the desperate fight between the Squat
tiers and the sheriff 3 posse in his house
there, in which the Sheriff and several
others persisted, Aliens son was killed,
Mr.. Allen tainted awav on her SIGH bed
and never came 10, and Allen himself
escaped from the house with one arm
mutilaled, and several shote in hi- body.
He was traced to the river BY his blood,
and supposed to have persisted ti.ere.-
But after extraordinary adventures and
incredible suiferings, he finally got out
Of the country, abandoning his property
and negroes"
This intelligence will be quite astoun-
ding to many persons in California, Who
had numbered Mr.. Allen with the dead.
