For most all other offices there were
Ind'pcnJani candidates. who received
most Of their votes from the Wing
party.
These Independent, tickets and Land
monopoly tickets have knocked the
Whig party cold thu. year Bu, We
still believe the State Wing, and think
'ha, enc'hcr year we will push the self
styled Democracy hard. We have
some number one Wing, in this STATE.
We do not feel a Bit discouraged siNlis

candidates for the Legislature to be
elected.
The Democrats here, say they are

IL, they say they are in favor of n Rail
road extending from the valley Of The
Mississippi 10 the Pacific coast. What
say the Democracy On your side OF the
Rocky mountains to that! and to the
manner Of paying for il, . fancy if
The vcnera'cd shade Of Gent Jack ON
could look down upon ,hi. party here,
he would say 'ha, they had dcyiated a
little from those principles which lie

is too local. not irrational" enonch. too
much for the beneG, of California, too
appropriate money from the national
treasury.
The fact is we can't get the locofoco
party here to explain how they want TO
pay for this urea, ihoroughfare. Some
0! them say from the proceeds Of the
sales of the public domain. Bat when
they come 10 figure and calculate how
many soldiers bounty--claims there are
TO satisfy, and what the road will pro-
badly cost. they can, quite fix the fig
ures so as to make the result suit them.
The question which now seems mos.
TO agita'e the minis Of the people in the
the southern part of this State is, di.
vision Of the State. They have we'll.
founded objections to remaining as they
now arc. They support the State Gov.
ernment. and yet, the northern part
controls. having greater population,
that are continually changing their
places OF abode, caring nothing for the
government of the S,ate--onIy for the
gold which they dig. They pay no
taxes comparatively speaking, and many

that all would receive q benefit from is;
aud if statement of facts should be
laid before Congress, whenever Cali.
fornia shall apply there for u division,
that she will meet with no opposition.
There Is to be n convention held at
Montery, on the 18th inst. for the pur-
pose Of taking into consideration what
steps are requisite to pursue. in order
to succeed in obtaining n division. This
convention was called merely by re.
quest Of the citizens Of the southern
, part Of the stale.
! There are great many things that
| California wants---she il, it is true,
! young stale, but with all the wants Of
AN old one. We wan, "a mint here
we want the much.talked. about R,il
road through the Rocky mountains
and most Of all just now is. the Com
missioners TO settle the Land claims
The non.aPpearahce Of that buard has
been great draw back to California.
! No one wishes 10 purchase land until
he can ascertain wla. he is getting for
, his money.
1t seems as thougl. Congress have
but little desire to do anything Tor Cal
ifornia--that to make appropriations
for a country 50 gorgeously inlad with
/ gold. would be but TO sq"ander away the
national funds. Is California alone re.
ceiying all the benefits Of her mineral
wealth? Has no, the Union received
"A vast benefit from here And ought
not the Union TO help support her /: /
/ am well aware that We never will have
mint here, as long as the influence of
! Wall street brokers can prevent it.
Had We national bank upon firm
basis, the miners would gr, more than
/ SIC per ounce for their gold. and the
lining Of the pockets OF the Wall street
brokers would not be quite SO thick -
but rs the miners have no remedy they

Whenever ] read Northern paper
think that the sound Of Abolilionism.
viii never cease TO ring in The ears Of
some in tha, section. am aware thai,
much has been said and written Of the
alleged cruelty received by the slaves
Of the South. and ! ask for whall For
political effect. An answer whici,
none can deny. The loudes, cry comes
from few babling demagosues-to
awaken the tendefcst sympathes Of the
human heart. they do their tes,-and
they are men who would desert their
country. Nag wien ihcir services were

Bat til, DO know from my own obser-
va,ioas, that the abol,iionisis do not
know the real condition Of the slaves al
the South. II Northern men would
travel in the Southern State, and ac-
