The Approaching Election.

We are the eve of very important cleo
tion. For some months past the people OF our
State have-been agitated by exciting questions
questions INVOLVING deeply her credit and char
acter-and have been allowed no effective voice
in disposing of them. The time is rapidly now
approaching when every voter in California
Will have opportunity of giving voice to his
sentiments, through conventions and the ballot
box, and we hope that none will be so indifferent
to the integrity of their adopted State as to sui
fer the occasion to pass by without being fully
improved.
San Francisco now monopolzes the repre-
sentaton in Congress. Whether this State of
things shall continue or not, is question which
will be prominent before the two State Conven-
,ions The opiaon is becoming very prevalent
d that the eastern and northern portions of the
State are entitled to be heard on the floors of
Congress Those who entertain this very rea-
sonable opinion, should be careful to give 1t ex-
preston in primary meetings, aud in the Coun-
" and State Conventions of the respective
parties.
In many Of the counties south of Shasta,
County Conventions have already been held.
We are glad to state that the resolutions adopted
at these conventions almost invariably breathe
the proper spirit With the following resou-
tions passed by the Butte County Democratic
Convention especially pleased:
Whereas, Knowing as we do that the portion
of the State lying north of the City of San Fran
cisco contains more than one half OF the popu-
lalion of the Staten ore than two-thirds Ut the
mineral lands-and one half OF all the asricu-
tural lands in the State.
