Democratic County Convention,
AmadOr County.

The delegates from the different precincts
in Amador county assembled in Convention
at the Theater in Jackson on Wednesday,
July 9Th, 1851, at ii o'clock A. NJ, and
were called to order by n c. F. Lane, Esq,
Chairman of the Democratic Central Com
mttec.
J. S. B. Jewett, of Volcano, was elected
temporary chairman, and A. Leonard, of
Pine Grove, temporary secretary.
After returning thanks for the honor con-
ferred. the chair stated that the Convention
was ready to proceed to business.
On motion of p j. Goodrich, of Amador,
committed of seven, on credentials, was APP
pointed as follows W. l. Morgan of Volca-
no. A. S. Mckee of Clinton, S. b. Segar of
jackson, P. ]. Goodrich of Amador, John
II. Bowman of Butte, Thos. S. Crafts of
Aqueduct, and n. c. F. Lane of lone.
On motion of John A. Eagan, of lone, the
following committee were elected to report
permanent officers Of the Convention A. j.
Lucas of Upper Rancheria, Samuel Davis
of Amador, and w. w. Moore of Fiddle
town.
After the credentials we're handed in to the
Secretary, the Convention adjourned to meet
at o'clock p. NJ.
The weekly ledger., 1857-07-11

On the 9Th ballot Mr.. Ketcham having re-
ceived majority of all the votes, was de-
clared duly nominated.
Dr. X. being present and called upon, re-
turned thanks for the distinguished honor
conferred, and would strive to merit the con-
iidence reposed in him by the Convention.
The Convention then proceeded to elect
two candidates for the Assembly-to be
elected separately.
The following gentlemen were put in noml-
nation:
p. c. johnson of Jackson, Robert Stewart
of Volcano, Homer King of Jackson, j. IL.
Bradley Of Jackson, j. G. Severance of Ian
cha Plana, William NJ Seawell of Fiddle
town. A. NJ. Creghbaum Of Amador, John
A. Eagan Of lone, James Livermore Of lone,
and NJ N. Evans of Volcano.
Messrs johnson, Bradley, Scawell, Eqgan
and Lvermore respectively withdrew their
names.
The Convention then baloted with the
following result
The weekly ledger., 1857-07-11
The County Convention.

The proceedings of the Democratic County
Convention were harmonious, and the defeat
ed as we'll as the successful, with their respec-
tive friends, cordially acquese in the result
This is emphatically as it should be; the
Democratic party is devoted to principles
not to men. There may be an indefinite
amount of contention before the nominations
are made; but after they are once declared,
all family contention ceases.
The only matter chat arose in the Conven-
tion at all calculated to create any unpleasant
feeling, was in relation to the admission OF
delegates from Sutter Creek-there being
two sets claiming seats from that precinct
Legislative bodies and Conventions are the
sole Judges Of who are properly elected and
qualified to be members Of their respective
assemblages. The late Convention exercised
this right, or power, in the case just spoken
of. and it is not the business of newspaper
to 90 behind its decision, nor do we intend
to do so.
1t is but proper, however, to mention onr
regret that the contesting delegates did not
have better opportunity to be heard in open
Convention. No doubt the committee on
credentials examined the matter and satisfied
themselves; but it is always proper and
consistent with right and justice, to allow a
party full hearing before the entire body
that is to finally judge upon the merits of the
matter in controversy The previous ques-
tom is a severe rule, and should only be
resorted to after party has made his state
ment of facts and argument. 1t is intended
as means of preventing unnecessary and
factious delay; but never to deprive party
of fair hearing.
The contesting delegates from Sutter Creek
presented, with their credentials, the names
of all those who voted at the meeting which
elected them; an array Of Democratic names,
of the number which composed that meeting,
are always entitled to consideration.
But it would now, perhaps, be improper to
say more We take pleasure, by way of con
clusion, to remark that the contesting dele
gates and their friends, like all other good
Democrats, "bury the hatchet" and unite in
a cordial support Of the ticket They con
slider that injustice was done them, but they
do not "bolt"
The contesting delegates made afidavet
that they were pledged to no candidate for
any office.
