Republican Gasconade.

The Black Republican State Central Com
mittee have called State Convention to as
semble on the 9th August, (the day after the
meeting of the Democratic State Conven-
ton, at Sacramento. The call is fine spe-
cimen of Republican gasconade We ex-
tract as follows:
"The Republican candidate for President
Of the United States will be elected in 1860
The eve Of victory is not the time for re-
treat or capituation.
The Republican party Of California. if not
numerous enough TO contribute materially to
the victory, viii none the less enjoy the ben
efits which it will confer on the country.
The Republican party Of California must
remain intact. 1t must stand by its princi-
pies and its organization. 1t must, in good
fellowship With all who aim at the same ulti-
mate ends, seek the political regeneration OF
the State. 1t must labor IN hope to make
the electoral vote Of California effective for
the purposes of freedom in 1902
SO it seems that the Republican Party OF
California is to "remain intact'-that is to
''stand by its principles and its organiza-
tion'-and that the present is mo time for
retreat or capitulation;' all of which is pre-
missed with the "bluif, or gasconade, that
"the Republican candidate for President of
the United States will be elected in 1860"
How do the Republicans reconcile these
things with their pretended espousal of the
cause of Popular Sovereignty BAIL Re
publican is Republican, and you can't make
anything else out of him; the party is to
maintain its old anti-Popular Sovereignty,
Congress-Terrtorial controlling principles of
1856, and maintain its party organization
'intact" All right - the Democracy ask
nothing else of the Republicans LET eve
ry tub stand on its own bottom" Those who
were Administration and anti-Administra-
ton Democrats in the late Kansas difficulty,
will remain together, their union cemented
by the glorious doctrine of Popular Soyer-
eighty, while the common gulf between them
and Republicausm will grow wider and deep
er at each successive campaign.
FoR FRAZER RIyER-So great is the rush
for the reported new diggings at the North,
that we find it utterly impossible to keep the
run and publish the names Of those leaving
this part of the State. 1t may be that be-
fore many months we shall find as much diff
iculty in chronclng their return. Among
the recent departures we note that of Arm
strong Askey, of jackson, who left yester-
day morning. Amador can but i'll afford to
lose such men as Mr.. Askey; he has been
one of our oldest residents, and most valua-
BILE citizens. Mr.. Askey will write to the
Lxdger. as soon as he reaches point where
he can ascertain, beyond doubt the true
state of facts with reference to Frazer River
It is unnecessary for us to state that in thi:
community, where he is so well known, what
ever he says will be implicitly relied upon
The morning of the day before yesterday
Mr.. Kretcher, another of our most entcrpri
sing and worthy young men, started for th'
new El Dorado, and will go on the same
steamer with Askey.
