The COUNTY Convention.

1t is quite amusing to hear OF the
howlings Of the Broderick faction in
various parts of the county over the pro-
ceedings Of the late County Convention.
With what meekness and honesty these
unsophistiested politicians Headers of an
usswspeettng .facsion-charge fraud and
corruption upon those who have defeated
them in their schemes. Gods! one would
think that butter wouldn't melt in their
mouths - such lamb-like and innocent
young creatures. Hadn't been long from
their homes, and of course were not aware
OF the lodges Of politicians and'their willy
tricks to rope young 'uns in. But let us
see how their honest professions tally with
their acts.
II is we'll known to every democrat in
the county, that previous to the Oath day
Of last June, there were two Central
Committees in this county, each claiming
to be the regular committee Of the Demo
cratic party. On the date referred to, the
committee of which VIM. A. johnson,
Esq, was chairman, resigned, and in
card recommended the democracy Of the
county to assemble in county convention
Under the call of the other central COM
tnittee; thus recognising it as legitimate
and the proper committee of the party.
This call recommended that the new
precincts in the new Township Of No. 8,
formed since the last annual election send
delegates to the county convention. And
this recommendation was based upon
sacred democratic principle--ths right Of
representation.
The regular county convention con-
veDed On the 7th of July Charles A.
TuttIe moved that J. w. Scobey. gentle
man who was not a member of the con.
yention, take the chair. This was prop
erly voted down by the convention. which
was then called to order by the chairman
Of the central committee. Dr.. Kate was

The Democrat started great cock and

to the primary election at Dotan's Bar,
and referred to Mr.. Hugh Bradley as a
witness to sustain it. Mr.. b., writes to-
us AS follows, in relation to the use of his

The Wing Congressional nominees
are from the cow counties, or perhaps il
may be said, that one Of them is from the
commercial emporium of the State. The
mining interest, which is far the most i'm
portant in the country has been wholly
overlooked. The Goldfish aristocracy of
the Whig party would not submit to the
nominatloQpf a candidate from the min
ing region. The shirt collar and kid
glove gentry of the cities and vallies
wanted the offices of honor for themselves
or friends, and they froze on to them.
The hard listed stood no show in the Sac
ramento slaughter house Perfumery and
ruffles carried the day.
State Journal, Aug. 4th.
Very we'll, Mr.. journal, hut is this not
pretty fair argument in favor of Denver,
Herbert and Leake. McDougall is from
the commercial emporium, Latham from
the city Of Sacramento, and Woodside
from a cow county. On the other hand
Denver is from Trinity, II mining county
in the north, Herbert from Mariposa, a
mining county in the south, and Ieake
from Calaveras, a mining county in the
the center of the State.
If you wish to go in with the "hard-
fsted" and support their candidates you
now have an opportunity. If you are
sincere in what you say of the Wings,
show your consistency by supporting those
who come from the mountains. You now
have an opportunity Of showing your re-
gard for the mining interest, which, as
you justly say. ''is by far the most impor-
tant in the country" but which "has been
wholly overlooked"-by your faction, as
we'll as the Wings.
