Voice from an Outsider.

ANGELS, July !, 1851
Mr.. Editor The Convention is over. The
nominations of the Democratic party for the
county of Calaveras are made and placed before
the people, and we, one of the " outsiders, D
lockers on in Venice" are satisfied, and pre-
dict cordial and united support.
There was but one feature of the struggle
that caught our eye and particularly awakened
an unusual interest, and that was the effort of
Mr.. Norman land we are sorry to say, too sue
cessful one.) to chain the hands of the party s
representatives, by instructing them to vote for
Mr.. Weller. Calaveras is a Weller county-
Her representatives have, on every occasion,
evidenced their appreciation Of and attachment
to, the great statesman, in sustaining him in
every position in which he has been placed,
and we believe they would do it again ,cithout
Instructions!
The resolution of Mr. Norman weakens the
influence of our State Delegates. This is to be
lamented. Upon this point there was quite a
strife. Among its opponents we marked our
old friend, Mr.. Finnegan, of Carsons, "long
tried and true" standing up as he did, and
earnestly opposing any such clog upon the Del
egates' sovereign rights, deprecating and hiss
ing down any such language as this-which we
sorry to say used upon the floor
" Shoa0 Broderack man and ,rW shoao you
aohtte Niger" Yet the resolution passed. and
we have nothing to say, save that we regret
that Mr.. Finnegan's motion to lay the resolu-
ton on the table did not prevail.
We have, after all, good nomination, and
we shall give it a strong support.
Yours, &C.,
ly 4-lt* STANISLAUS.

hAIN'-on Monday night last we had heavy
shower OF rain. On Tuesday heavy rain in
the alter noon, and more or less shewery all day
ana night; On Wednesday more rain-very
heavy shower in the afternoon; on Thursday il
cleared up cold. Much snow has fallen on the
mountains, and the Table Mountain Ditch is
again enabled to supply the miners with water.
The rain has caused all the mountain streams
to rise, and will supply the bitches with water
for the next fortnight.

BEAUTIFUL FLowERs.-A Mexican brought
into the saloon of Mr. Gooner Evinson. on last
Sunday, a boqnet of most beautiful wild flowers,
which were procured on Murray Creek. The
flowers are known in this State as the Tiger
Lilly; have six petals, of bright-red color,
marked with dark-red spots, or rings, like the
tiger AS the flowers grow near the creek, in
wet places, we are inclined to believe they are
a species of Daffodil.
