/ EDITOR MARIPosA DEMocRAT-Th time for holdnj
the Democratic Convention Of this County is fas
drawing nigh. and as humble member and arden
well wisher Of the press aud interests Of the party
would obtrude the following suggestions and consd
erations:
lst The object of Conventions, is to elicit tn,
choice of the Constituency and for this purpose a
we'll as for sutng the general wish and interest the
Convention is better than any individual.
I'd. A disappointed aspirant, If he be a sound ant
true Democrat will not under any circumstances, re
bel against the Democratic Party simply because hi
desire for office is thwarted or his claims rejected
by the Convention, because the right of choice among
the asprants even from its entire ranks belong to the
party through its Conventions.
Sd. Rebellion against such choice so long as the
nominee is capable, honest and good Democrat ar
CUES folly at least, and perhaps something worse
for it is manifest the Democracy. since the annhila
ton of the Wbig, and the abortion Of the Know
Nothing Party is the only sure means Of preserving
and protecting our admirable system Of government
its Constitution and liberties
Hence he that deserts and is found in opposition
weakening Its power, and strengthening the hands Of
its foes, may clearly be regarded as opposing the
best interests of the country. For every blow he
strikes against the Democracy, whether under tile flag
Of the selfstylcd Independent -" American y" Re.
publican or Peoples Party, is eyidenilya blow in
favor Of Rcpubicansm, and consequently a blow
against his country The foe which most engages
our attention aud fronts us in powerful array Is the
Black Repubican-and If while thus engaged, CUR
rilla bands and remnants of other sms and parties
skirmish from the bush, harass upon the rear,
does not the gain clearly to that black party
of still darker aims and principles
4th. Suppose the members Of our party were to
reason and act in every county Of the United States
alas have blindly done, and now threaten to
do, in this county. Suppose they eontended that
party determinations should not be made for county
officers it would result that the administrative pow
of nearly every county ia the whole nation would
be hostile to our the proud and powerful De-
mocracy would be ruined aud extinguished. Our po-
ltcal fabric would inevitably toier and the dark
cloud of Republican fanaticsn would compass great
nations obliteraton.
What then is the daty Of the rejected aspirant and
his sometimes too anxious friends? It clearly is 10
cheeruly abide the acts of the party to shoulder his
musket aud fall into ranks. If the Democratic party
do not wish him to work in the lead Of the car of true
liberty, let him get behind and manfnly push with all
his might rather than throw distractions in the way
of its progress.
II is therefore to be hoped that the Democracy Of
this County will visit with annibilatng frown and
treat as foe', all whom design. blind passion folly
deude into such an unpatriotic course.

The NEw DTcH.-Major McNcal has re-
turned from San Francisco and has cheered
up the dropping spirits of our population with
the important information, that il is more than
probable the Ditch from the South Fork of the
Merced River will be commenced this sum-
mer. 1t appears that certain Chinese capital
lists have proposed to furnish some two thous-
and of their countrymen to dig the Ditch. The
capitalists will charge twenty-five dollars per
month for every Chinaman, and take mort.
gage on the Ditch for the whole sum or price
of labor performed, with interest at the rate Of
twelve per cent. per annum. The Chinese will
furnish their own provisions and tools, but the
Major will be required to pay their travelling
expenses TO this country. The fuming part
of the Ditch will not be constructed by the
Cinnamon, and the Major will have to make
arrangements with other capitalists for this
part of the work In this attempt we wish
the Major every success, for he is really de-
serving of it, having displayed great energy
and perseverance in determining his line Of
survey, and having expended much time, la
Dor and money in endeavoring to bring water
into the County. The good wishes of all
classes of the people are with him, and he has
only to perseyere in order to prove successful.

watch and chain, and 81 iGt the amount of collec-
ton he had just made at that place The bandit are
supposed to be set Of fellows who had stopped short
on their way from the North to Sonora, on a flbus-
tering expedition.
From KERN RyER.-There are now four mills in OPP
Grafton within two miles of each other Matby & Cos,
with twelve stamps Erskine's, with eight stamps
and Holt's and Keys with four stamps each. Malt
bys mill Is said to have cost about $50 900 Ersknes
about $4,000, and the others probably about $4,000
each $4,000 was paid short time since for claim of
only one hundred and fifty feet, which had already
been worked out to the depth Of sixty feet Another
quartz mill Is TO be erected Immediately by Won
Schmidt < Co.. to run twelve stamps.
Farms are being rapidly taken up and improved,
