Coalition.

This cry seems to he the sole plank
left the late election conspirators. Hav-
ing been prostrated in their deep laid
scheme to steal a march upon the people,
and feeling that Just and wide spread
Indignation is being directed against them,
their object is just previous to the primary
elections, to divert the popular attention.
The ghost Of the defunct whig party is
invoked to their aid, while "secret circu-
lars" cIaptraps and such like stuff, fit
through their harangues in fantastic con-
fusion. Even the State journal, with all
its obfustication of intellect, sees signs
"thngs highly Significant" In sports
mans phrase, "the coa'ition pack in foil
view," looms up before them. In other
words the mutterings of the peoples in
dignation reach its ears, and like a guilty
creature it flies from the wrath to come
Does the Journal think that the people
will accept such stale stuff for argument?
Does it expect to cover over the short
comings of its election consprator friends
by so flimsy and gossamer web? If so
we pity its deIuslon. We hardly think,
however, that with all its verdancy and
lack Of judgment, such hope can prove
to it very soothing JUNCTION. 1t cannot
mistake the signs of the times, and must
read in the movements of the people the
handwriting of its condemnation on the
wall.
As that paper seems foundering in the
mists of coalition speculation, we are dis
posed to give it light. The masses of
the democratic party, then, do not intend
to coaIesce with the wings, secret-crcu
larites, or any other fragment or faction.
They regard your efforts to elect Sena-
tor last winter-we mean by "your," the
election conspirators and politica traders
of which you are the organ as daring
and most outrageous assault upon the
sovereignty of free people. They con-
ceive that those who participated promi-
nentIy in that grand conspiracy, are un
worthy of public confidence; for having
ing once attempted to betray their con-
stituents, there could be in the future no
degree of political recreancy which they
might not attain. They design, therefore,
that such shall take back seats-that they
shall put on sackcIoth and ashes--that
they shall be humb ed before the people
that they shall be made an example of,
and held up as living. moving monuments
of the sure fate of all those who, in the

CALIFORNIA STATISTICS.- he Rev.
Mr.. Phillips, in a sermon delivered lately
in Stockton, gives the following interest
ing statistics in relation to the population,
&C., of California. They are copied from
the Journal:
The population of California four years
ago, was 35 900, Of which number I 900,
or one half, were females AT the present
time, there are 100000, making an annual
increase of $4,000 The sexes, winch
were about equally divided four years
ago, now stand in great diSproportion, as
out of popu alton Of 100000, there are
only 900 females, an increase of $4,000,
averaging $3.50 every year, or 479 per
month OF this whole population, 96 900
are children, under fourteen years OF age
Deduct from the number of females one
half the number of children, and we have
81. 500 white females in the State. The
figures sum up as follows: Females, 81
500; Children, $4,000; Males 247 300
making a total of 100000 or tins num-
ber it is estimated that 100 900 reside on
the coast, and 100000 in the valleys and
in the mountains. These estimates are
reliable, and are only selected from among
occasion, as the most worthy of pubica-
! ton.
tn connection with the above, we do not
deem it amisS to publish some statistics
connected with the churches, that may
prove of interest. The Methodist Epis-
copal denomination has 43 churches and
a ministers, in California, with mem
bership of $500 The same denomna
ton, OF the southern branch, have 81
churches, and a membership of $50 The
o. ). Presbyterans has 4 4'churrhes, and
ministers; and the n. S. Presbyterians
have churches and II ministers. The
CongregHlonalistc churches have an aggre-
gate Of 600 members. The Bup.Ists have
E churches. 10 ministers and 400 members
The UntarlaIs have one church and one
minister. From the above it would ap
pear that the MethodIsts in aIifornIa, IA,
in all new States, Oulnumher any other
denominations by great odds. We are
gratified at the religious prospects of ou
new country.

LEXINGTON.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

Slowly the mist oer the meadow was creeping,
Bright on the dewy buds glistened the sun,
When from his couch, while his children were
sleeping,
Rose the bold rebel and shoudered his gun;
Waving her golden veil
Over the silent dale,
Blithe look ed the morning on cottage and
spire;
flushed was his parting sigh,
While from his noble eye
Flashed the last sparkle of libertys fire.
On the smooth green where the fresh leaf is
springing,
Calmly the first born of glory have met;
Hark! the death volley around them is ringing!
Look! with their life, blood the young grass
is wet
Faint is the feeble breath,
Murmuring low in death,
"Tell to our sons how their fathers have died;'
Nerveless the iron hand,
RAISED for its native land,
Lies by the weapon that CLEANS at its side.
Over the hill sides the wild knell is tolling,
From their far hamlets the yeomanry come;
AS through the storm clouds the thunder
burst rolling
Circles the beat of the mastering drum
Fast on the soldiers path
Darken the waves of wrath;
Long have they gathered and loud shall they
fall;
Red glares the musket's fash,
Sharp rings the rifles crash,
Blazing and changing from thicket and wall
Gayly the plume of the horsemHn was dancing
Never to shadow his cold brow again;
Proudly at morning the war-steed Was pran
cling,
Reeking and painting he droops on the rein;
Pale is the lip of scorn
Voceless the trumpet horn,
Torn is the lken fringed red cross on high;
Many helted breast
Low on the turf shall rest,
Ere the dark hunters the herd have passed by.
Snow glrdled crags where the hoarse wind is
raving
Rocks where the weary floods murmur and
wall,
Wilds where the fern by the furrow is waving:
Reeled with the echoes that rode on the gale;
Far as the tempest thrills
Over the darkened hills.
Far as the suns inc streams over the plain,
Reused by the tyrant band,
Woke all the mighty land.
Glrded Tor battle, from mountain 10 main.
Green be the graves where her martyrs are
lying!
Shroudess and tombless they sunk to their
rest
While O 'er their ashes the starry fold flying
Wraps the proud eagle they reused from his
nest.
Borne on her northern pine,
Long DER the foaming brine
Spread her broad banner to storm and to sun;
Heaven keep her ever free,
Wide as Ger land and sea
Floats the fair emblem her heroes have won

DEMOCRATIC Los ANGELES COUNTY

DEMocRATIc Los ANGELES County
CoNvENTIoN On the 9Th instant, the
Democrats of Los Angeles county met in
mass meeting at the city of Los Angeles,
and elected by ballot three delegates to
represent the county in the State Conven-
ton to be leld in Sacramento. The fol-
lowing gentlemen received nearly unani-
nous vote, and were duly elected: Dele
gates to the State Convention, j. l..
Brent, Esq, J. Il. Downey, Esq, and c.
E. Carr, Esq. We learn from Mr.. Brent,
who arrived in this city yesterday from
Monterey, that the proceedings were
characterized by the greatest harmony.
The delegates are well known as staunch
opponents of the attempt made in the last
Legislature to distranchise the people,
and of the congenial schemes of public
plunder and private ACKNOWLEDGEMENT that
fortunately shared its fate.

Democratic Convention i'm But
te County.

This Convention met at BidwelI's Bar
on the 18th inst, to nominate county
ticket, and choose delegates to the State
Convention. There was a great unanl-
nifty of feeling among the delegates. Hon.
Seneca Ever, was renomInated as can
didate for the Legislature, by large ma
Iority. Mr.. E., at the last session was
one of the faithful who opposed the
schemes of the Broderick faction. Every
delegate to the State Convection is strongly
opposed to the Senatorial fraud. he
following resolutions were passed:
Resolued, That the Democracy OF the
county OF Butte, in convention assembled,
congratulate themselves and the Demo
cracy of the State on the triumph OF de-
mocratic principles in the late Legislature
in reservlng to the reople the right to be
heard and consulted in the election OF al
o1licers--and in the rejection OF measures
designed by political wire-Workers to tax
the people for the promotion OF individual
and selfish purposes.
lind vhereas, Knowing as we do, that
the portion of the State lying north of the
City of San Francisco, contains more
than one-haf of The population of the
State--rmore than two thirds of the mine
ral lands--and one -Lafof the agricultural
lands of the State.
Therefore be IL ResolUed, That we are
entitled to and demand as our right, that
one half of our delegation in Congress,
and one-haf of our State officers be
selected from the northern portion OF the
State.
find be 1t further Resolved, That the
delegates appointed by this convention to
attend the State convention to be holden
at Sacramento on the 18th July, for the
nomination of Congressman and state
officers, be and they are hereby instructed
to use all honorable means to secure the
nomination of one Congressman from the
northern portion Of the State.
Ind be 1t further Resolved, That in
view of the fact that each and every
Senator in Congress has been elected
from the city of San francsco--that our
State Senators be instructed, and our can
ddates for the State Assembly, are here
by required to pledge themselves, to use
all honorable means, in case OF their cleo
ton. to secure the election to the u. ).
Senate of IA suitable person, who is resi-
dent of, and identified with the interests of
the northern portion of the State.
A CHANGE.-We well recolect when
the first cargo of Boston ice reached San
Francisco how eagerly was sought after
as a luxury, and what enormous prices it
brought; how saloon and bar keepers
doubled the price of drinks in conse
quence, and how coblers and Jnleps rose
in the estimation of men as they fell down

reproach upon the party and the State
They design showing political traders
that the people have a voice in their con-
tracts, especially when they need the
action of the ballot box for ratification.
This is to be done, not by coalition or
whig affiliations, but by the open and
direct means known to our Government
They design to do it as it has already
been done in Tuolumne and Marin, by
eIecting delegates to IA Democratic State
Convention, prepared to vindicate the in
tegrity of republican institutions and the
time honored usages of the party.
Why then talk about coalitions? What
is the necessity for them? The Demo-
cratic State Central Committee have call
ed convention of the party. As upon
former occasions a response is about to
be made thereto. The conduct of those
who last winter arrogated to themselves
sole legitimacy, and sought to barter away,
in caucus, the popular sovereignty, is
now a matter of record. On the contrary,
like publicity attaches to the acts of
those who took issue with them in behalf
of the people EIectionists and anti cleo
tionists are compelled to abide the great
edct the popular tribunal. What their
design will be, the signs of the times too
strongly Indicate to leave a doubt upon
many minds. 1t will be an inglorous
defeat to the conspirators and triumph
ant vindication of their own sovereignty.
! The convention will settle the matter,
and that too without the assistance of
wings. Democratic delegates, fresh from
Democratic constituency, chosen in dI-
rect reference TO the issue of last winter
will meet in Democratic convention. We
shall be there ''a locker on in VIENNA
| and we expect to see the work well done.
| We expect to see a most emphatic re
! proof given to the Journal and its afliliat-
ed co laborers or the San Francisco clique
| We expect to see the death blow given
to the unhoIy combination who now con
troll the affairs of our State We expect
| to see repudiated every one Of the con-
! sprators, from the chief down. We eX-
pect in fine to see the true Democracy of
the State-the masses Of the party, who
recognize us as their organ and in whose
behalf we have taken up arms-vlndlcate
themselves by general decapitation OF
the band Of wire pulIers, who at the die
tation of their chief and for his personal
aggrandZement, coupled with their own
sought to force on 'slast WINTER" a Sena-
toria election in advance of the time and
in violation of the Constitution.
TO do this, whig aid is not wanted
| They will have no voice in the matter
They cannot enter into the convention OF
vote on either side. We will guaranty
that the convention will select good and
true men who will not betray their party
or prostrate themselves and constituents
at the feet of the San Francisco clique
Is the State Journal satisfied with this
arrangement? viii it abide the rejection
Of its mpions-Bryan, Myers and Cof
froth? Will it stand a most positive
direct and unequirocal condemnation o
their conduct on the Senatorial question
If not, it amy at onre raise the flag of re
beIion, for these things IL acW most cer
tainy see. The popular edict has al
ready gone forth-the fiat rrevocabl,
registered.

STATE CLAIM FOR MONEY SPENT IN
DEFENCE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE
FROM INDIAN AGGREssloN.-G General Nc
Dougal, from the Committee on Military
Affairs, has submitted to Congress aD able
and comprehensive report III favor OF
paying to the State Of California her
claim for money paid for defending her
territories from Indian aggression We
have received Il copy Of this interesting
report from Mr. McDougaI. He makes
out a strong case, and if he can ever get
vote upon the claim, may succeed IN
getting it passed. Mr.. McDougal pre-
sents ii long array OF precedents that are
Immediately in point, and which are con-
elusive as to the past practice OF paying
al such Indian war claims, when it was
shown satisfactorily that the State had
expended the money. If our members,
in conjunction with Dr.. Pierce, succeed
in getting this claim through Congress,
they will have done much towards reliev
ing the State from her financial burdens
and in obtaining for her that justice which
is her due from the General Government.
