Calling the Roll.
1he Democracy IN Council-Ne Sentiment
among the Masses.

throughout the State Democratic Conven-
tons are now being held for the nomination
of county officers, and of delegates to the
State Convention. From the resolutions
passed at the Conventions already held there
is no such thing as mstaking the Democratic
sentlment-it is for an unwavering support
OF the administration of Mr. Buchanan and
the Cincinnati platform. Broderck is severe
ly rebuked for his factious opposition to the
Administration, and the tratorous aid and
sympathy he has extended to the Black Re-
publicans; and is no longer considered a
representative of the party.
DEL NoRTE.-The Democratic Convention
OF Del Norte county, unanimously passed
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Democracy of Del Nor
te county, through their delegates in Conven-
ton assembled, cordially and entirely approve
and ndorse the Administration of James
Buchanan.
Rcsol0ed, That David G. Broderick, by his
opposition to the Administration, manifested
as well in his degrading and disreputable
language in relation to it, as by his votes,
by his treachery to tie party w ich elected
him, his refusal to obey Instructions, and his
league with the Republicans, has placed him
self beyond the pale of the Democratic party,
and should only receive at its hands the
scorn and contempt which he so justly
merits.
SANTA CLARA-Tn t Santa Clara Con-
vention, after nominating a county ticket and
delegates from sound national men, the fol-
lowing were adopted:
Resolred, |. That the Democratic party
of Santa Clara county adhere to the princi
plies set forth in the Cincinnati platform of
1856
2. That in the Administration of james
Buchanan we recognise an abe, faithful an |!
patriotic Chief Magistrate, and do heartily
approve his acts
3. Tha, IN the State Administration of
John b. Weller we have found an enc. gctic
and reliable Governor, and do heartily en-
dorse his official acts.
4. That the political course pursued by
David G. b odcrck as one of our Senator's
in Congress, meets our emphatic condemna-
tion, and is contrary to the wishes and Opt
Mons of the Democracy Of Santa Clara
county.
ALAMEDA-ln Alameda county The Con
venion passed resolutions fully indorsing
the National Administration.
PLUMAs--In Plumas, which was claimed
as Broderick county, resolutions indorsing
the Administration, were passed.
NAvADA.-ln Nevada county, after the
primary elections the Broderickites claimed
the Convention by a large majority. But
at the meeting of the Convention the Ma
tional Democrats were in the ascendaucy. -
The succeeding resolutions were passed by
vote of ayes As, nays 24-the Broderickites
voting nay:
Resolvcd, That the Kansas controversy is
now settled, and we deprecate any issue be-
tween Democrats upon that subject.
Resolved, That to censure the Administra-
ton in its Kansas policy would be assisting
the enemies Of the Democratic party and
lending aid and comfort to Black Republi-
cans and Know Nothings.
Resoloed, That James Buchanan and Lewis
Cass, the tried and faithful leaders of the
Democratic party in times past, when oul
fathers sustained them, have now our con
fidence. and shall have our support
Resolved, That we are for the Union, fol
our party and the union Of the States, for
equality in power and equality in right
among all citizens and all sovereignties which
compose our confederacy.
ResoIved, That our delegates to the State
Convention are instructed to reflect the above
wishes of the Democracy Of Nevada county
who in Convention now renew their indorse
ment of the just, wise and liberal principles
of the Democratic party, the harmony anC
success of which we believe inseparabe from
the permanence and prosperity of our Union
Resolved. That we pledge our support &
the nominees of this Convention, and of th
State Convention.
Subsequently, when making nomination
for the Assembly, tie vote was declared be
tween Callahan and Caldwell. On the secon
ballot Callahan had four majority. The an
nouncement created great confusion, during
which motion from the Broderickites t
adjourn sine die prevailed. The Broderick
ties then retired to another part Of the hal
organized Convention, and proceeded t
nominate full ticket. In the meantime tn
regular convention resumed its labors an
completed a ticket Of National Democrats.
