The proceedings of the Democratic County
Convention which nletat this place on Wednes-
day last, were characterized by harmony and
enthusiasm. Although several bollotings
we're had in the selection Of the second car
didate for the Assembly, the best feeling pre-
vailed, and all expressed themselves highly
satisfied with the gentlemen who had been
chosen by the convention, to represent this
county in the next Assembly. The candidates
for the Assembly have been in public life
heretofore, have proved themselves ''capable,
faithful and honest" and If elected. as they
undoubtedly will be, will represent the county
with an unanimity and efficiency watch she
has not heretofore enjoyed, They ara gen
tle.nen who have scorned the con empIible
tricksters of San Francisco. ami she viii fad
no tools in them for the introduction Of her
wharf and other bills OF private speculation
and corruption. This county vas disgraoed
in the last Assembly BY one who had been
chosen to represent US, out who treaeh5roasly
refused to be governed by the voice of his
constituents, and was found laboring asisilu-
ously, shoulder to shoulder. with the unpria-
cipled politicians Of the Bay, in introducing
and urging the passage Of bills calculated to
plnnder the people or their treasury, and dis
grace the State
The unanimity with which Hon. Seneca

session-Hhen any and every means were
brought into requisition for the purpose of
disfranchising the people-lIr. Ever remained
true to the interests Of his constituents, and
expressed their sentiments upon that as

reelection to the post whose duties he has so
ably and honorably filed. That he viii be
returned to meet again those questions in
which course has hitherto met the approval of
his constituents, we doubt not.
Mr.. Wells, also presented as a candidate for
the Assembly, has heretofore represented this
county in that body, having been a member
of the legislature OF 1853. His course while
such, is before the people, and the record Of
that session will show that A1r. Wells was
actuated by desire to advance those meas
ures which were calculated to confer ''the
greatest good upon the greatest number,
and conduce to the general interests and wei
fare + our young and rapidly rising State.
Although that session Of the legislature was
-rarael by no prominent and distinct ques-
tin ke the session just passed, MIR. Wells
If e.acted, will be again found faithful in the
discharge Of his duties, AMI able efficient in
demanding and sustaining the right Of the
north to the next United States Senator -
Both Messrs Ever and Wells Will use their
utmost endeavors to secure to the north their
legitimate right in this espect
Mr. Chapin, the candidate for Assessor, is
very worthy young man, and if called upon
