can State Convention, from the county of
Butte stated to that body, that in a conversa
ton had by him with the Hon. J. G. Nc
Kbben, that gentleman had said to him, 81
don't wan. your Convention to nominate me.
Let me alone, we are overheard, we will new
er 60 back to the Democratic party, and in
one year we will be with the Republicans.
But at present, we would rather stand aoof.
and gather as large force from. the De-
mocracy as possible, so that when we do 90
over to you, we may bring with us a large
force"
We have no doubt that that Hon. gentle
man spoke not only his own sentiments, but
that of the whole Brodericl party We
have no doubt they have Left the Democrat
ic party never to return, and we have no
doubt that next year they will all be in the
Republican party, and it seems that others
Of the Republican party besides Mr.. Cum
mings understood the same thing Mr.
Tracey one Of the leaders of this party, and
by tie way, the most talented man in the
party, said the same thing. and in very
clear and torcibIe manner exposed it to the
public view, as will he seen bv the following
extract from his speech, as reported in their
organ, the Sacramento Union:

Now observe similarity between couple
of resolutions of the two Conventions, which
is, perhaps, littleremarkable The sixth
resolution in the anti -Lecompton Convention
reads, as follows:
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the ac
ton of those members of Congress who sus

and who opposed the English Bill at the last
session Of that body.
| would thank the Secretary to read the
resolution on the same subject contained in
our platforms:
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the ac-
ton of those members of Congress who sus
tanned the "Crittenden- Montgomery Bill
and who opposed the English Bill at the last
session of that body.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, the resolutions adop
ted by this Convention was not written this
morning, nor last night, but it has seen the
light of day for several days past. ["Court

think that it grows out of any particular
wooing here spoken of, then it denotes mat

As Mr.. Tracy says, the same pen thai

Republicans were ready to receive them a:
