The heads # your veterans in talent
and service, on The score that by such
blind nomination, moro Of yourvotes
could be secured? Arc You not be-
ing used as the instruments Of political
intrigue? If principles we're 10 be
advanced, why not believe you would
support those who framed them, and
whose lives have been devoted to
their advocacy? In the rush for mas
terry your assent has been assumed. -
When one faction saw it could not get
all the spoils, the Holy Alliance
was formed, by which with an ins e.
nificant candidate, all might get
chance at office. Now they present
such mercenary proceedings as the
promptings Of principle, and ask you
TO shut your eyes and ego it blind
once more" Will you do il? Will
you see men you wish to honor laid on
the shelf, and men forced upon You
whose existence never troubled your
thoughts?
But there is another subject to be
considered in connection with that
convention. With the exception of
few generalities about equality, re-
form, etc, which no wliig ever denied,
and which if incorporated in the whig
platform OH the 10th, would be as
much in place as they are in Demo
cratic mouths, the resolutions are made
up of the most vagu", negative propo-
sit ons ingenuity can invent. The af-
iirmation Of the compromises is the
only positive proposition advanced,
and that is not in dispute between the
parties. For the rest, ye Califcrnians
you are told ye need not expect inter.
nal improvements--a Pacific railroad
or telegraph, or improved national
highway. The Democracy see no
power in the hands of Congress to
commence or carry on such works.
Then the convention declare they can
not see several other things which
wings never pretended TO sec-so there
is powder lost again. Domestic pro,
lection is scouted, tam5icn-and, save
the mark, the bones of Biddle are
dragged forth and shaken in the face
of the country as never to-bcrel;n-
quishcd trophy Of democratic sagacity.
The reader of these resolutions finds
scarcely an affirmative proposition to
hang q hat on, while he is continually
met with negations and noncntities.
With such candidate. and such q
declaration of principles, or no-prin-
ciples, the democracy expect to tri-

THEATRIcAL.-During the past week
the company at the Hall have brought
out some of the finest pieces in the Eng
lish tongue, and been greeted generally
with good houses We confnc our re-
marks 10 single piece, promising that
others equally deserve praise. Lucrezia
Borgia was brought out on Monday
night, and so great was the applause
It was reproduced on Wednesday night.
Mrs. Baker, as Lucrezia, played mag
niGcently, making admirable roints
through the whole piece. In the dag
ger and coffin scenes, the audience Sc EN-.
ed to hold their broaths 81 intensely
vivid was the personation. The Journal
is not distinguished for extravaganza in
theatrical notices, and it will be taken
as our conviction, that Lucrezia could
not have been played better by any
actress in this State.
Mr.. Baker evirced perfect conception
of the character of Gennaro, and as the
piece ncarcd its awful climax, seemed
to rise with the occasion.
MIR. Thoman gave much point and
expression to the part of Duke of Fer
rara Mr.. Thoman is promising nc-
tor, and we anticipate for him high suc-
cess in his profession.
Gubetta was very we'll played by Mr
Gates, although hc threw less Of the
sardonic into the character than we be-
l:eve designed by the author. Mr.. Gates
has talent for his profession, and with
application will rise.
Mafio was quite we'll played by Miss
Montague. The part is an important
feature in the play, and on this occa-
sion tho lady exceeded herself
In the banquet scene, with the wild
rcvelry Of the doomed friends, and the
solemn dirgc, the effect was thrilling.
With tho adjuncts Of a large stage and
splendid scenery, the playing would
have been most impressive; as it was.
the universally expressed opinion next
day was in applause Of Lucrezia Bosg;a.
This company play for our brisk neigh
bors at Grass Valley on Monday night.
We cordially recommend them to the
attentions Of our readers in the Valley.
as being what they pretend to be. The
opening of the drama as Grass Valley.
Hnder the conduct Of such company,
is sufficiently auspcious and VIC trusi il
will be handsomely seconded by, the
citizens. I sl3 adf tt1 rUm r
