The General Convention to consider and mature
plan for the division of the State of California
met at Santa Barbara on the 10Th of October,
and, after rather inharmonious session of three
days, adjourned on the Odd It was composed
OF thrtyone delegates representing the counties of
San Diego Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Mon
terey Resolutions were adopted detailing the
grievances of the Southern people, urging the alleged
necessity Of division providing for the transmission
OF copies OF the resolutions and proceedings of the
Convention to the Governor and to each Represen-
tative and Senator in the State Legislature, and re-
questng the Representatives and Senator's from the
counties represented in the Convention to bring it's
proceedings before the Legislature at as early pc
Rod as possible Previous to the adjournment, the
San Diego delegation, with single exception, and
one or two other members, withdrew from the Con-
yention, and refused to take any further part in the
deliberations, because proposition was intro
duced by member from Los Angeles relative to
defining line of separation between the northern
and southern parts OF the State.
The California papers evidently look. upon the
movement for division failure, for the present at
least because of absence of unanimity among its adj
vocates- The Alta California" says that the Con-
vention accomplished nothing in favor of the
much-talked-of movement"

has passed an act, in conformity to the suggestion
of their Chief, JOHN Ross, authorizing him to call
together the people in order to obtain their assent
to a retrocession of the Neutral Land /" to the
United States Government The Cherokee /" Adj
yocate says that this is the only possible plan to
hqudate the debt of that nation, and that the strip
of country proposed to be transferred is SO detached
from the proper limits of the Nation and it is so
difficult to enforce the execution of the laws over it,
that its possession by the Cherokees is rather an In
cumbranee than benefit
