WHAT ARE WE COMING To?-It appears, by a
communication in Tuesdays american, that there is
church in Sacramento-a community of the Fol
lowers of the Meek and Lowly"-which admits
members into its fod regardless of the State of their
nativity! If the church should increase and multiply
they'll soon have sweet lot of Abolitionists and
Pro-Slavery brethren and sisters. Regardless of
nativity! La! how shiftless !" Here's the COM
municaton:
AT their regular monthly meeting for business, a
few evenings ago. the Baptist Church in this city
the Rev. Mr.. Shuck, pastor, passed series of reso-
lutions reafirming the basis upon which the said
church was originally organized, viz That in the
reception of members to the fellowship of the church
and in the calling and the settlement of pastors no
question should arise in reference to the birth place
of the parties, the State country from which they
hailed or the social other positions they might oc
cupy in regard to any of the great issues of the day

call, the Old Line Wings of this vicinity collected ir

the meeting. After adopting Fillmore and Donelson
resolutions the Club adjourned to meet on Tuesday

REPUBLICAN OR CossACK.-At u dinner lately
given to Sir Colin Campbell, in Glasgow Sir Archi-
bald Alison, after rising TO propose the toast " Her
Majestys Allies, the Emperor of the French and
their Maiesties the Sultan and the King of Sardi-
nia said The great Napoleon said, forty years
ago, that in half century Europe would be either
Republican Cossack." That memorable expires
sion, pregnant in meaning, which the world did not
perceive at the time, which we now see, had been
gifted almost with prophetic spirit, as Indicating
the position in which we are now placed. He would
say where the danger of the Republican was to be
found. He believed no one could look across tn,
Atlantic but he would see the danger there was that
ere long Napoleons words would be realized, AMI
prove that within the time specified Europe might
be either Republican or Cossack. The alliance
French and Eng ish was the only secure bulwark
against this.

fair. A good audience was present, but by looking
around for a few moments, we were convinced that
not tithe of those listening were Reps. Or those
we recognized, certainly not than one in twelve
belonged to that party. During the day, good
many persons came in from abroad. These, we set
down in body for Fremonters-and they, with a
fair allowance of those who happened along in the
evening, might possibly have figured up a hundred
The band played tune and the "exercises com
menced. Mr.. Tracy spoke about two hours, about
Kansas, Border Ruffans, and in fact went through
the catalogue of catchpenny arguments in favor Of
Fremont: made a good speech, considering the small
amount of capital he had to start with.
A dog fight commenced, and Col. Crocker took
the stand. Both progressed finely for some minutes
and about half the audience performed the same
movement. The dogs weakened, and the other par
ties proceeded. The Col. commenced So far back in
the history of the country that concluded not to
wait for him, and so left After he sat down the
band played another popular air, and the Reps. col
lected in sufficient number to execute their Duda
song. Three cheers were given for JesSe's man and
Dayton 1.-The Evenings Entertainment having
drawn to close, three tremendous cheers were Civ
en-, for Fillmore and Donelson. Hon. j. G. Brown
came down from the rostrum, he was speaking an
accompaniment to the latter exercises and the crowd
dispersed. Thus endeth the second lesson.

The County Convention.

On Tuesday, 23d September, the delegates from
the several American Councils of Ell Dorado county,
will meet in Convention in the town of El Dorado
The business of the Convention will be to nominate
two candidates for the Senate and eight for the As
semby. The delegates from the three Supervisor
Districts will also nominate separately candidate
to be supported in each Of said districts for Super
visor. -~ -- -
1t is customary to say,-fn view of an assemblage
such as that we now anticipate, that on its action
hinges the destiny of the country, &c. Wen say
nothing of the Sort But intelligent men are aware
that on the character of the American ticket in the
several counties depends the success of the party in
the State. The party commenced a good work last
year, but too little caution was exercised. Tn the
battle for principles not had to put forward
the right sort of men to advocate those principles
Principles are mockery unless supported by able
and high-minded men, Precious time has already
been wasted, and the party has nothing left to throw
away. The redundant material which year ago
numbered our Councils and clogged the action of
the party, has fallen by the wayside and been gath
cred by those who have use for it.
The party is now in the field, purified, and still
mighty and it becomes us now to act The time is
here-strike now-and so conduct the primary meet
ngs and the Convention, that on the 4th of Novem-
Der you can turn from the ballobox with the graft
flying reflection that you have voted the straight
ticket and yet for none but good men -" men who
their duty know who know their rights-and know
ing, dare maintain!"
Even now, the enemy throw out the taunt to us,
that more than one Senator now holding over will
next will next winter put off his party's livery and
cast his vote for U. S. Senator from the ranks of
the party which buys Senators at the Capital This
may be true-counseling with the past we have rea-
son to fear it is but be it true or false. our course
is plain. We must be doubly sure that we " Put
none but Americans guard tonight - elect none
but those who are above suspicion, to the next egs-
lature. 1t is much easier to secure clear working
majority in the Senate this year than it was last
Last fall we had no Senators holding over Now,
we have nne and little well directed exertion will
secure large American majority in that body.
And then if two or three Senators should be tempt
ed by Brodericks dollars or Gwin or Washngton's S
promises, enough good will be there to vote the
traitors down. The time is at hand when honest
men must take on themselves the burden of the day.
and go into the councils of the people, to labor and
do battle for the right Of noodles and schemers we
have had enough. Give us a good ticket, or give us
defeat Let not the party fall by the hands of its
friends Let Proper men for proper places B" be the
word, and the American party of Ell Dorado will
roll up majority for the whole ticket, that will
make the doubleheaded opposition stare with especial
wonder!"

HopEFUINEss.-True hope is based on energy Of
,'haractcr A strong mind always hopes, and always
las cause to hope, because it knows the mutability
ii human affairs, and how slight circumstance may
change the whole course of events. Such spirit,
too rests upon itself; it is not confined to partial
views, or to one particular object And if at last
al should be lost it has saved itself-ts own integri-
ty and worth.

Why DIDN'T THEY Do IT?-In vain we searched
the record of the proceedings of the Democratic
Convention at Sacramento for resolution instruct
ing the Electors in of their election to cast their
votes for Milard Fillmore for President rather than
let the contest go to the House of Representatives
The State Journal made great ado because the
American Convention did not instruct its Electors to
throw the vote of the State for Buchanan in event
at vote should be necessary to keep the contest out
of the House. Why did not the Democratic Con-
vention adopt the policy indicated by its fugeman
Do the Democracy prefer Fremont to Fillmore?
The fact that the American Convention did not con-
form to the Journal mans ideas of dsinterested
patriotism is certainly no sufficient excuse for the
Democracy's allowing the Union to :" slide" Per-
haps the Unterried could not screw up their imagin-
ations to suppose i'll which four votes would
either decide the election in Mr. Fillmores favor or
throw it into the House? Then so much the easier
to instruct with reference to such an exigency: and
as, in the first place. the Electors do not stand the
ghost of a chance of an election, the Convention
would have hazarded nothing, and would have ap-
peared so patriotic-so magnanimous

The OLD LINE WHIGs.-The following preamble
and resolutions we adopted at the meeting in the
School House, on Tuesday evening:
Whereas, in the progress of political events, the
National Conservative Wing party has for the time
being ceased to act as an organized political body
and Whereas, many of its former members, have ul
to the present time stood aoot from all political or
ganizatons, therefore
Resolved, That in view of the Importance of the
issues which presented in the present contestthe
hostile array OF parties-and the threatening power
OF sectional agitation, it is the duty of all National
conservative Wings, to rally to the support of the
Constitution and the Union and by their aid endeav-
or to secure the election Of National conservative
men.
Resolved, That in Mlard Fillmore we recognize
the true patriot, wise statesman, and firm supporter
of the Union one whose past acts recorded upon
the pages OF history, are sufficient guaranty of his
future course, if elected President. We therefore
call upon all Old Line Wings to enter into the con-
test at once unfold the Fillmore banner and true
patriots "march under the flag, and keep step with
the music OF the Union"
ResoiUed That as dsinterested partizans we claim
the right to express opinions concerning the mer-
its or dement's of the various parties who are now
urging their claims upon us.
Resolred, That the Republican party is sectional
in all its features, and III our opinion its supremacy
would be destructive of all true national principles.
ResOlUei, That the Democratic party has in its
eager grasp for power departed from its former Ma
tona position, thereby showing that the claims of
once honorable foe are not to be regarded worthy
OF the support Of the National Conservative Wings.
ReSOlUel, That us Wings, we do not and cannot,
endorse the proscrptive features of the American
party, but fully endorse its National sentiments

LIFE OF FREMoNT.-We have received with re-
spects of the Author" copy of Chas. E. Pickett's
pamphlet entitled "John c. Fremont His charac-
ter, achievements, and qualifications for the Presi-
dency; and other matters connected herewith" The
author is posted and is reliable; and he shows con-
cusively that Fremont has never performed moiety
of what his friends claim for him, and that even tho
he were all and much more than his supporters pre-
tend he is he is yet in respect qualified for the
position of President. Fremont is flash candidate
running on the humbug, mock-heroic hobby which
has inflicted on the country the only three Presidents
who were not qualified for the position The book,
we presume, can be had at the book stores and if
any one in the county has the slightest thought
of voting for Fremont let him first get all the light
he can.
