insttutions. Had the party organization which grew
up at once on the close Of the Convention been in
power at the primary elections, the friends Of Free
State might well have despaired Of California The
exposition in the Convention was BY no means con-
ten ptble, but il overcome by the deep moral
sentiment that breathed in every action Of the Free
State settlers. They hated Slavery with such
powerful hatred that it's friends in the Convention ac-

question separately to the people, but it would not do,
and falling in with the spirit Of the hour It's advocates

Democratic ranks. San jose full of plotting and
busy politicians. The Legislature composed in
good part of old residents in the country but the out
