kesolvcd, That we hold it as one of the
paramount duties of Congress to make libe-
raj appropriations for the improvement OF
tho harbors, bays and navigable rivers of
California, likewise for the erection of Gus
tom houses, light houses, docks fog-bels.
and all other improvements tending to pro.
tect and facilitate trade and commerce.
Resolved, That it is the imperative duty
Of Congress to refund without delay, to Cal.
ifornla, the large sums extortcd from her
citizens before her adfnission into the Union,
under the disguise of custom house dues or
public revenue, but which were in fact only
military exactions levied without color OF
law, the cnormity of which has no parallel
IN the history Of our government, unless it
shall hereafter be found in the adoption OF
proposition into the Senate of the United
States by distinguished representative Of
the democracy of California, 10 rob the bona
fide lawful owner of his lands under the
pretenee OF law, until the validity and Justice
oil his title is confirmed
Resolved, That with the vast capabilities
OF California, it is Indispensable that her
legislation sbcu'd be especially drectc d to
the speedy development of her agricultural
resources, the building up of manufactures,
the extension and protection of her COM
mcrcial interests, and the encouragement of
domestic industry in all its branches. Such,
in the opinion Of this convention, has not
been the character of its legislation under
democratic rule.
Re etoived, That we concur with the self
styled democratic convention that assembled
at Benieia, in their resolution declaring that
the general government, in the hands of a
so-callod democratic Senate and House of
Representatives, have been guilty of the
most culpable neglect of the higher interests
OF California, and have utterly disregardcd
the wants and demands of the people"
Resolved, That VIC regard ths series of
measures recently adopted by Congress, de-
nominated the co mpromsc measures, rs a
settlement of those questions on basis
alike just and honorable, and we will strictly
maintain and support them as such.
Resolved, That it is the duty of the gene
raj government to assume the Indebtedness
of this State, necessarily contracted in the
protection and defence of her citizens in
warfare.
Resolved, That we will support the doc
trincs set forth in the foregoing resolutions
for the reason they arc whig doctrines, and
II carried out, will not only promote all the
great leading interests of California, but Of
the whole Union, and as wings, we pledge
our united and individual advocacy OF the
same, before the people.

TRAGEDY AT CONTRA CosTA..-.On
Friday July 30th, most fiendish out
rage was committed at Contra Costa
on Sheriff Hm. r. johnson while in
the discharge Of his duty, by man
named Hardy. The matter in dispute
was the possession of some land which
was owned by gentleman named Van
Buren,, under pre- emption claim.---
Van Bircn had placed certain per-
son i'll possession, who, without author
ity disposed of his interest to Hardy.
Hardy took possession, and erected a
house on the premises. The sale not
having been recognized, Mr.. Van Blu.
rem sought TO establish his right, and
to recover possession through the
courts. He accordingly commenced
suit against Hardy, and Judgment
was rendered in his favor. Hardy
then obtained an INDUCTION stopping
further proceedings for the time being.
The proceedings on the njuction hav-
ing terminated in Mr.. Van Buren's IA.
vor, Mr.. Johnson, Sheriff of Contra
Costa county, yesterday afternoon un-
dertook to put Mr. Van Buren, in pos
session of the property. Hardy re.
sisted, and on seeing Mr.. johnson de-
termined to do his duty, he took his
gun and fired its contents at the .Sher-
iii. Mr.. johnson received the charge
in his breast, and Immediately tell,
mortalIy wounded. Hardy was at once
secured.
The deceased is represented as a
man having the respect and confidence
of the whole community----kind and
forbcaring in The exercise Of his office
and universally esteemed in all the re.
lations of life.
The claim of Hardy had never been
recognized by the squattcrs who were
convcrsant with the way in which he
obtained his hold.
The Transcript of Aug. I'd says:
"He has wife and children, and
they were offered a portion of the
ground, with the house, for a peacea-
BILE settlement Of the difficulties, or to
be otherwise paid in full Ior the i'm,
provements which they had made.
None of these propositions from Mr..
Van Buren were entertained by them.
and they esolved blindly to persist in
their wrong.
The body of MIR. johnson was
brought to San Francisco ON .Satur.
day, and placed in Yerba Buena ce- |
m try. As the boat left the wharf
with his remains, the cries of his be,
reaved wife were heard from the house
where with her children she was stay
ing, and the scene presented another
OF the dark pictures of California life. |
Hardy remains under guard in a house
near the wharf, and will be examined
before Justice Adams this morning"
