ADJOURNED MEETING OF CALIFoRNIANs.
Such meeting was held at the American Hotel,
Hon Demas Strong in TIE Chair, when Judge Crane,
from the Committee appointed at previous meet
ing. reported an address and resolutions The ad.
dress deprecated the practice of appointing stran
gers 10 responsible Offices in the State. Cali
forDia has suffered much by bad legislation at home,
and did rot feel ready to suffer from that of the
Federal Government. The wrongs Of which they
complained were not to be borne they had been
loya people, and desired to remain The esilb-
hshment Of the Assay Office in San Francisco was
one of the greatest grievances the establishment
was managed entirely for private benefit, and Was
a tax upon the people, while its coinage was
not legal tender and its officers were not
respon sible The report demands the repeal of this
Assay Office and the establishment Of a legal Mint
The report then detailed the particular grievances
OF having strangers to he country appointed to Of
fce and the vexatious conduct of these officers
when they were once in Office SO great had this
evil become, that the merchants Of San Francisco
ad been obliged to resist and rebuke their inter
neddling with affairs which did not belong to them
Another grievance was the neglect of the Govern
ment to erect lighthouses and protect commerce -
Russia would soon make bold stroke for the con-
troll Of the Pacific, and with the aid of Louis Napo-
leon might seize upon the Sandwich lsantS, and
thus hold the key to that vast ocean The report
urges the completion Immediately OF the great Pa
cihc Railroad, and concludes with resolution rec
ommendm meeting Of Californians in Washing
ton the 9Th of February, IN order t. press these
and other CLAIMS upon the attention of Congress.
The Report was accepted.
Hon Demas Strong. the Chairman, spoke briefly
OF the importance of the matters mentioned In the
Report and invited discussion thereupon.
Mr. Crane urged the same views. and said that
there were many more grievances not embraced IN
the Report There was concerted effort al Wash
iueion to take from California all the benefits TO
which she was entitled. lie spoke strongly OF the
character of the men who hung apou. Congress,
begging for important offices in California. If we
can't get nd of such officers in any other way, we
Will put them in irons and send them back. The
speaker charged them with attempting &c muzze
the press None but Californians, said he shall hold
Office IN that State We must resist these rascals,
or they will be as thick among us-as the frogs
were in Egypt and will be In every mans
bed chamber, and every womans too. We Will go
to Washington and give them some OF the palDest
ADelo-Saxon that they ever heard. We have coun-
try that we can and ill defend against j000O bayo
nets if need be. The speaker said, in California
there were no wraDgles about North and South
Slavery and Abolition, and II their Influence was ex
erted they could do much to pour oil upon the
troubled waters this side Of the country. The re-
marks OF Mr. Crane were what might be thought
rather too energetic, but perhaps the occasion de-
manded tive DON'T know
The following persons were named az Committee
to prepare for the meeting in Washington Mr..
Crane, San Francisco Demas Strong, Sacramento;
A Smith Downieville David Alexander, Los An
geles J. NJ Huntington, Sonora
