TI,e eovernor,s proclamation.

Gov. Weller has Issued a proclamation "to
the Democracy of California" in the form Of
circular, which has found its way into the
papers 1t is a peculiar document He seems
to imagine that he has always been great fa-
vorite with the people, but thinks the politicians
are all combined against him. He whines about
being superseded In the Senate, as though a
man who has once been elected to an office has
a superior claim to be continued in the position,
aud attributes his nomination for Governor to
the indignation of the masses on account oil
his defeat for Senator. He says that after ne
had consented to run for Governor, the politi-
clans Immediately took the field against him,
and but for the extraordinary excitement at
the primary elections be has no doubt he would
have been defeated for the nomination. We
must confess it would be terrible outrage to
defeat a man for q nomination who has held
oface constantly for twenty-five years! The
Governor, however, is mistaken about the ac-
ton of the politicians towards him. Instead
of being opposed to him they all took the field
in his favor. and be may thank the Federal
and State officers of California for his nomina-
tion. All the party machinery which could be
welded by these officers was set In motion in
his favor, and the "extraordinary excitement
at the primary elections of ffty-seven was SOLE
ly the work of politicians. II is true, the
politicians cared nothing for Weller, but they
had ulterior objects in view. to accomplish
which 1t was necessary to create a fnrore, and
the superseded Senator was taken up as the
most available man for the purpose. OF course
the Governor knew nothing of the cause of the
movement in his favor. His simplicity of char
acter, and well-known ignorance of the ways
aud means by which politicians work to ac-
complish their objects, compel us to believe
that he mistook the clap-trap of demagogues
for the spontaneous uprising of the masses.
OF one thing the Governor can be assured;
He will have none to fight this year who were
not bis friends two years ago. The contest is
almost exclusively among them. 1t would be
difficult to point out politician in the State,
who opposed Weller's nomination in 1857, who
will take any part in the Lecompton primary
elections shortly to come off. He ought surely
to trust his chances with confidence among
those with whom he was so great favorite

A DEsrERADo HUEG.-At Roseburg, Oregon,
on the 7th of May, the Deputy Sheriff Of Doug
las county attempted to arrest desperate
named Mcpherson, for shooting a man. Nc
Pherson resisted, and the officer called on seve-
raj citizens to assist him. Mcpherson then
drew pistol and fred several shots, killing a
man named Robinson, and wounding two 9TH
ers, but was finally arrested. On the 9th dur
ing his examination before Justice of the
Peace, Mcpherson attempted to wrest a knife
from the witness who was testifying against
him, and escape. This so exasperated the
crowd, that they hung him without further GER
emony.

The Pennsylvania Democracy.

A grand mass meeting Of the Democracy of
Pennsylvania was held at Harrisburg April
18th. Alexander Mckinney was chosen Presi-
dent, and committee of twenty-five appointed
to draft resolutions, of which John W. Forney
was Chairman. According to dispatch iu the
New York papers, resolutions were adopted
repudating the Convention and platform Of
the 10th of March, and recommended the call
ing Of another Convention to nominate ticket.
They endorse Gov. Pack ker, of that State; also
endorse, without equivocation, the course of
Senator Douglas. The committee on resolu-
tions reported an address to the Democracy Of
the State, which occupied about half an hour
in reading, and the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted: .....
Resolved, That we are here to-day to resist
every attempt to weaken or overthrow the
creeds of the Democratic party, and to unite
for the purpose of restoring in all their vigor
and purity the great truths which have hereto
fore made the Democracy the conquering or
ganization, who have contributed to the endur.
ing welfare of the State.
Resolved, That this Convention most solemn
ly declare its warm attachment to the union of
States, to maintain which it pledges all its pow
ers, and that for this end it is our duty to op-
pose every nfracton of these principles, which
constitute the only basis of that union, because
a faithful observance of them can only secure
its existence and public happiness. lr
Resolved, That we are bound to regard the
Administration as having forfeited the couf-
dence of the people, and to denounce it as un-
worthy the support Of the Democratic party.
ResolOed, That the attempt of the Admins
tration to disregard the covenant of 1856. and
in is stead erect despotic test to compel obe-
dience to doctrines subversive of republican
liberty, was the work, not of the Democratic
party, but of men who had resolved on ambi-
tlous purposes.
ResoIved, That we indorse the principles of
popular executive with the franchises of the
people Of the States; that we repudiate the plat
form of the Convention of March, and that no
matter what the decision of the Supreme Court
may be on that abstruse question, still the right
of the people to make slave territory or
free territory, is perfect and complete under
the Nebraska BILL

NIcKthhin,s Record.

On Wednesday evening, the 1lth inst, Hon
]. G. McKibbin addressed mass meeting Of
the citizens of San Francisco, at the Lyceum
in that city. The house was crowded, from
eight hundred to thousand persons being
present, and his remarks were frequently inter
rupted by outbursts Of applause. The speech
was made in answer to q scurrilous article in
the S. r. National, in which he was charged
with having done nothing to advance the in
terests of California during his Congressional
term. The substance OF his speech has been
published in a number of the daily papers, and
it is admitted on all sides to be a noble, manly
and eloquent effort. He showed pretty conclu-
sively, that Notwithstanding he was under the
ban o: executive displeasure, he was able to
accomplish as much for his State as Gwin and
Scott. who were backing in the sunshine OF
Federal power. .a
To reading men, who think for themselves
and form their own opinions, McKibbin's course
in Congress needs no vindication, and those
who have not had the means to keep themselve:
posted on the proceedings Of Congress- should
read his speech. In the approaching political
canvass McKibbin proposes to take the stump
and visit every section of the State. He is 9
good speaker, sincere, straightforward, and
deals in facts which have come under his owu
observation, and his efforts will not fail to pro-
duce telling effect. ..s
