they would, until the vote by ballot could
be admitted; we, therefore, with the chair

the regular order of business, as detailed in
our published report in the Cifi<en and
Mess niger Of July 9Th.
The minority report OF the committee On,
credentials was to the effect that the secouda
delegation elected from Eureka should. be
allowed TO take their seats in the convcn-
t;oa, to the exclusion Of the first; that the
votes from Smiths Diggings (six in mugs
her, should be cast hy Mr. MeNulty instead
of T. A. Mosely, which last named gentle
man had received the first and onlv legal
power of attorney to cast said votes. aud it
can be proven that two, al least, of the sig
natures to McNalty's power Of attorney
were not written by the delegates them
selves, nor by others with their consent,
were obtained uEdtr false pretenct sor
some person belonging to or in the employ
OF the Dow Neville ciiqne, wrote letter to
the delegation ct Smiths, stating that Mr..
Mosely would not attend the Convention,
and setting forth that Mr.. NcNulty would

BY the above method Of curtailing from

of delegates from the various districts Of
the county, do hereby appeal to the good
sense, just &c and patriotism OF our constitu-

taken by favored few of the so called
Democracy of the county for the last few
years, they will unite with us at the ballot
box. at the next ensuing election, in sup
porting good and true Democrats, and put
ting down all those demagogues who would
lead the party to its destruction and utter
humiliation. Signed,
