Address of the Republican State Central
Committee

REPUBLICANS OF CALIFQRN1A: Your delegates
assembled in Convention at Sacramento on the
5th and 9th of the present month, after full dis
cusson and dcliberatop, adopted the Platform
which you have seen published in the newspapers
OF the day. and placed in nomination, as canli-
dates of the Republican Party, for Justice Of The
Supreme Court, JQuN CuRREy, Of Solano; and for
Controller Dr. l.. c. GUM, of Tuolumnc.
The Convention also passed resolution, in
slructing the State Central Committee "to place
upon the Republican Ticket as Candidates for
Congress, +. p. Tracy and JOS. G. MCKBBES, in
case majority of the Committee should deem it
proper
The majority of TIE Committee cQnsidcping the
Instructions of the Convention. aud the general
opinion Of the Party, at their meeting in San
Francisco this day, have performed the duty as
signed them, and completed the Republican Tick
ct for the next Election, by placing upon il. in
nomination for Congress, +. p. TRACY and Jos. c.
MckInREN.
The great purposes of the Republican Conven-
tion in nominating this Ticket, has been to end
the misrnlc of the Buchanan Democracy of this
State by electing Candidates to Office upon Plat
form essentially Republican. The Anti-L -Lccomp-
ton Democratic State Convention, which also nom
mated Mcssrs. Cqrrcy and McKibben adopted a
Platform fully recognizing aud asserting the prn-
ciples of the Crittcndcn Montgomery Bill which
bill received at the last session, the sanction of
the Republicans in Congress, as the ground on
which we could fraternize with the Anti-Lccomp-
ton Democrats. Indeed, we find that Convention
giving an Interpretation to the Popular Sove-
rcghty portion of the Cincinnati Platform. and
by necessary consequence to the Kansas Nebraska
Act, which is wholly in accordance with the doc
trine of the Philadelphia Platform on the same
subject. The Republican and The Anti-Leeomp-
ton Democratic Platforms IN this State, then, il
not identical. are at least not antagon,stic.
Nominated upon this common ground Messrs
Currey and McKibben must be equally satislac
tory to the Republicans and to the Anti-Lecomp
ton Dcnocrats
Personally, Mr.. Currey is every way suitable
man to be placed on the Bench of the Supreme
Court
Joseph G. Mckibben, by his manly course il
Congress on the Kansas question, has entitled him
self to the admiration and supportaf every frient
of liberty.
ination of these gentlemen, it must not, howevc cr
be supposed for moment that the Republican
party of California has in the least sacrificed its
party identity, or abated in any respect, in il
devotion to the right hand nor the left but keeT
right on to the support of the Republican Can
ddate for the Presidency in 1860, with, ,ce hope
greatly increased numbers.
To maintain the integrity of the Party, and t,
strengthen that controlling influence which tn,
Republicans of this State must continue to exer
in the Kansas controversy, it is of the first import
ancc that DR.. Gum for Controller, and Il.
Tracy for Member Of Congress, should receive
the undivided support of tho Republicans OF thi
State. No circumstances can arise in which an,
Republican will be justified, in falling to do al
in his power to swell to the utmost the vote 70
Gum and Tracy. Their vote will be the distinc
tive Republican vote-that which will be countc
as such, and that which will determine the futur
standing Of the Party. Let our friends then talk
care that Gum and Tracy receive every Republ
can vote in the State, while at the same time, n
vote be withheld from Currey and McKibbcl
The Republican Party of the Nation looks to yo
to do your duty.

Chairman FRO ten
