In view of the National and State issues which

State Central Committee would urge all who opposed
to the present National Administration we'll those
who are in favor of nauguating new in the politics
OF the State of California to unite in sending delegates
the Republican State Convention.
The Democratic party by its action at the late National
Convention, held in Cincinnati has decided in favor of
The spread OF slavery National Territories In
the States of Union east of the Rocky Mountains the
people marshang for the decision of the great
National question whether the General Government shall
be longer under the control of the slave power and s in
fuence be wholly exer1ed TO maintain and perpetuate
slavery whether it shall subserve the purposes for
which fathers designed it nursery OF freedom
and the asy lum for the oppressed OF all lands.
This same National issue must be met here in Caifor
MIA Though ours is free State with large portion of
her population from free States yet the influence of Cali
oma IN our National Councils, has of late years, been
uniformly given for the spread OF slavery Fremont one
of our rsi Senators, and Gilbert and Wright, our first
Representatives in Congress, true TO Freedom, and
worthy Representatives in Washington of this State
Their successors down to the day have been the
veries tools of Slavery EXtensonsts, and in proper
have they represented the Free State sentiment Of
California Our Senators and Congressman all voted for
the KansasN Nebraska Bill present delegation approve
and sustain that measure and as Calfornans we are to-
day responsible for the horrible crimes which propaganda
Isl ruans committing against settlers from Free States
in the Territory of Kansas.
Strngfelow, Shannon and their bloody and murderous
associates in Kansas? Have they word of cheer for
the brave spirits who are there making stand against the
advance OF slavery with its ninity of curses? Have the
dweers the Pacific Coast reproof for the ruiansm
Of Herbert and Brooks exhibited at Washington, and
free from free States be beaten the earth tor
their of subservency the interests of slavery-
These questions which pertinent to the times and
must meet and respond to them. Men must be
Congress from California who will truly represent the
free State sentiment which prevails here Our Congress
men must be in sympathy, politically, with the only party
of the Pacific Railroad This road is the Great Want and
the Great Work of the age and the Representatives of
California in the National Councils should be whose
abors will most efectualy conduce the commencement
and completion of this great enterprise
inc Senators who represent our State in the upper
branch of the National Congress- fora like reason, should
also be in sympathy with the Republican party These
Senators are elected by State Legislature, and The
voters of California should to it. that that Legislature
is composed of who will elevate the honorable and
responsible position of United States Senator's only such
men as will faithfully and credaby represent the Free
State of California. John B. Weller, the shameless apol
ogst of the murderer of noensve Irish waiter
unit for Senatorial hOnors the murderer Herbert is
for his seat in the Representatives Hall. Both of these
men, and all of their class disgrace our State home and
abroad and they and those who are in political sympathy
with them, only dsparage the interests of State
in our National Councils at Washington.
Professional politicians have heretofore ruled California.
Our offices have been sold TO the highest bidder. Our
elections have been farce. The political franchise
treemans dearest right, has been nothing WORTH for
villains have consped to defeat the choice Of honest
tiers by fraudueny stutfng the ballobox. These
patent facts they are known to ALL Let the People de-
clare for the Inauguration of New Era. Let offices
be given not to gamblers, not to murderers TO the
aplogss of murdelers yet professional politicians
and but to such men among us as are den-
titled with our State, and who have stake in govern
ment to those whose families here. whose interests
are here, and who expect TO remain here. The offices,
local. State and National to be filled at the approaching
election ought only be conferred upon such as be-
eve that office should neither be sought at the hands of
the people, declined when rendered by them
The Republican State Central Committee invite all,
without regard former party associations who concur
IN the above expressed sentiments regard to the Nation
al and State issues which be canvassed and decided
at coming State election to send delegates to the Re-
publican State Convention to be holden the above
named day
The Central Committee would urge representation at
the Convention from every city, town, village, mining
camp in the State without limit numbers, and would
further recommend that in the Convention the voting
representation be equal to four times the representatives
OF the respective counties in the State Assembly.
