The Nevada journal., 1853-07-15

and eloquent man, for Attorney General.
Gilbert E. Winters, of Yuba, was
nominated for Comptroller. Several
strong men from various sections of the
State, were ably presented by their
friends for this Office. Nevada, Placer,
Yuba and San Francisco stood shoulder
to shoulder for Winters, on the ground
that our great and growing section OF
the State should be represented. Cen
tralization of office was most ardently
opposed, and successfully. Mr.. Winters
was nominated, and now Nevada county
must back the efforts of her representa-
tives and others who labored for a rep
resentation on the ticket for the coun-
ties north of Sacramento,
Samuel knight, of San Joaquin, is we'll
known in the State as a strenuous oppo-
nent in the Legislature to the innumer-
able frauds Of the Bigler administration.
If opposition to corruption is worthy of
admiration and countenanee, Mr.. Knight
has strong claims fer support by the
people of the State.
Selim E. Woodworth, of Monterey
was nominated unanimously for Sur
veyor General He is a man of fine
accomplishments, and a pioneer Cali
fornian.
The most gratifying nomination to the
friends of education and morality, is that
of Sherman Day, Of Santa Clara, for the
Office of Superintendent of Public In
struction If there is any thing in an
cestry and education, Sherman Day is
splendid man. He is a grandson of
Roger Sherman, and son of the late Pre-
fessor Day, of Yale College. His nomi-
nation was warmly seconded by Rev
o. C. Wheeler, and Rev Mr.. Crouch,
of Sacramento, who pronounced most
eloquent and enthusiastic eulogies upon
his character and fttingness for the
station Mr.. Wheeler seemed taken by
an agreeable surprise, and spoke with
the fervor of grati6ed friend.
The ticket thus put forth | believe to
embrace some of the best men in the
State 1t commands general assent, and
carries with it a prestige of victory.
God help that the days Of corruption
are ended. That the shameless dynasty
that has, incubus-like, sat upon this
State since it's organization, may now
under the efforts of new peaceful re-
form party be hurled from its place.
Truly the star Of State is emerging from
the clouds-is passing to the zenith.
The concluding labors of the Conven-
ton were the appointment of the State
Central Committee, Corresponding Com
mittee, and basis of representation. The

trail Committee for the ensuing year

to fix the basis of the Whig State Con-
ventions hereafter -
Resolued, That the following section
be substituted in the place Of section
No. 3, in the plan of organization, adop-
ted by the late Whig State Convention:
Sec. 8. At every Wing State Conven-
ton hereafter to be called, each county
shall be entitled to one voting delegate
for every 200 Wing votes cast by said
county at the preceding general elee-
ton, taking as basis the Presidential
vote or highest vote for any State officer,
provided, however, that each county
shall be at least entitled to two votes.
The official election returns to be taken
on this basis, and the apportionment to
be made therefrom at the sitting of
each Convention, previous to the trans
action Of business of general interest.
Business in San Francisco seems ac-
tive. The number of brick buildings in
progress is astonishingly large, and in
dicates not only heavy transastion OF
j trade in this city, but great growth in
the interior, to which all these improve
mems are a corollary.
