The Nights Of Naturaiized--Bo otis o N
Ca0N.

New York, June l6.-A number Of promi-
nent adopted citizens OF New York, recently
addressed letter to John Minor Bolts, on
the subject Of Gen. Cass' recent letter to
the adopted citizens of Pennsylvania, which
they say, "has fallen upon adopted citizens
like thunderbolt from clear sky" They
ask Botts' view on the question whether Cass
has not misinterpreted the bond Of natural
ization and the duties Of this Government
under it, and whether the Constitution and
laws, and the spirit Of naturalization, do not
involve the same absolute degree Of protec-
ton to adopted as to native citizens.
Mr.. Botts replies at considerable length.
After disclaiming the prominent political pc
stion ascribed to him, be pitches into Cass
severely, maintaining the position, that natu.
rallied citizens are entitled to the same pro-
lection abroad as natives.

Sympathy OF the Germans Ter Autoe

II il said that German merchants Of New
York are in possession Of private sdvieae
which render Il certain that Prussia nd III
Germany will Immediately join Austeia y her
struggle with France. These adviooD, y y
asserted, are from persons in the doa41sass
Of the government, and are regarded -
Trustworthy.
Perhaps, says the Evening Pest, itislasrs-
ly due to their traditional hatred OF the Bo-
napartes, that tho sympathy OF tho Germans
Of the city in behalf OF Austria seems to b
general and cordial. As an instance, one Of
them, young and wealthy merchant, has al-
ready made arrangements to 90 BY the next
steamer and enlist in the service. He says
his family were massacred by Napoleon l.,
and he will have revenge upon his successor.

xxinito the Italians.

Mazzini has issued o war manifesto, warn
ing his countrymen not to depend on the
crowned heads, who wish to use them for
their own purposes. He recommends the
Italians to fight on their own account, and to
organize force in Naples, and elsewhere,
sufficient to support and maintain their inde-
pendense, to draw q clear line of distinction
between their cause and the or owned impos.
tors, and to never dishonor their proclama-

kossurH's POSITION X ossuth, in q note
to The London Times, correcting misrepre-
sensations, says:
The purport OF my argument is this: II
England abstains frsm taking part in this
war, the war will remain restricted TO the
Austrian dominions and to the Italian pen
insula il, on the contrary, England inter
feres, The war will become general Euro
pean one, because Germany will not plunge
into tho war II told that che will not be .rr-
ported by England; and in this case Russia
too, will remain neutral; but il England
should either directly support Austria, OF
assist Germany in supporting her, then Rus
aia, too, will step IN, but on the opposite
side she will support France. SO that il
the present war assumes general European
proportions, it will be entirely the work OF
England's Intervention.

The nomination of Mr.. Latham was then
made unanimous. A Committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon Mr.. Latham and in
form him of his nomination. He appeared
before the Convention and said:
Mr.. President and gentlemen OF the Con-
vention: l cannot find words to express to
YOU the pride and pleasure l feel on this oc-
casion. This, may truly say, is one OF
the happiest moments of my life; and l can
not give adequate expression to the grateful
emotions that fill my breast at this proof of
your confidence and esteem. We have had
hard, severe, long and an animated
struggle for priority in this political contest;
and it would be vain affectation in me to deny
that the result is to me source OF exulta-
ton. which the consciousness of my own
inetficiency for the high office to which you
have nominated me cannot wholly suppress.
To that gallant and true-hearted body OF
men who have stood by me like granite in
this contest, l return my deep, sincere and
heartfelt thanks. TO the Convention at large,
| can only say that pending the contest or
at its termination, will ever prove untrue
or unworthy of the responsibilities imposed
upon me- Cheers. Gentlemen, | might
content myself with these remarks for the
present-and the more so as intend to adj
dress the people throughout the State from
the 1st July till the 7th of September next,
on the various questions of the day. l will
only. therefore, state as the platform on
which | stand that am in favor of popular
sovereignty as laid down in the compromise
measures of 1854. Cheers. l stand by
the CINCINNATI Platform. stand by the
Administration of James Buchanan. Great
cheering And above all these stand by
the unity and integrity Of the Democratic
party as | value the peace, the happiness and
the prosperity of our common country.
Continued cheers
Let me express wish that you may feel
as do, and that with the close Of this con-
test there may a,so be an end Of any bitter
ness or asperily which naturally accompa-
MES su struggles. Let It's remain true to
platform, true to our party, and we shall roll
up such majority as this State has never
seen upon any former political contest
Cheers. Once more permit me to return
you my heartfelt thanks for the honor you
have conferred upon me, as have no desire
to interrupt you any longer in your business
[Great applause.
As Mr. Latham retired from the platform,
he was greeted with three tremendous cheers.
The next business in order being the nom
ination Of Lieut.. Governor, Dr. Downy,
of Los Angeles, and Mr.. johnson, of Sierra
were placed in nomination. Mr.. Johnson
declined to ran. DR.. Downey WAS then
nominated by acclamation.
A motion to appoint a member from each
judicial District as a Comm.tte on Plat
form and Resolution, prevailed. Convention
adjourned uutil Friday morning at 10
o'clock.
The nominations made on Friday, will be
found in another column.

Oppressive Heat.

The heat has been oppressive throughout
the week. Morning and evening, midday
and midnight, the theremometrlcal range
has been "excrutiatng;" so much SO, that
every one is FUSED up community"-ener-
waited and istless. No one has cared to at
tempt mental or physical exertion--it re-
ouired too much effort
Sunday Monday and Tuesday, were con-
sidered hot-9s and 100 deg. being reached
but Wednesday proved hotter than either
the heat being greater than has been
known for years. In this place, at 8 o'clock,
p. NJ. of that day, it was from lo2 deg. to
ll3 deg. in the shade-the difference owing
to the location of buildings. At O'Clock
on the same evening, 81 deg. were the flg'
ures. On the same day, at Rattlesnake, II
was l2o deg, and at Maine Bar, on the Mid
die Fork of the American, l22 deg. AT
Gold Hill, on Monday 1l6 deg, aud on
Wednesday l2o deg.
On Thursday in Auburn, it seemed llt
tie cooler, from the fact of their being an
occasional puff of wind, but 100 and llo
deg. was sure warrant against freezing
On Friday, at Z A. M. 90 deg, with some
breese and 95 deg at P. M.
We cannot be said to be in the 'enjoy
rnent" of the usual cheated term OF June
because we are SIN it," nevertheless, ant
snore unsatisfactory weather, judging fron
the complaints, never fell to the lot of op
pressed humanity.

The Grasshopper Plague.

The western part Of this county is now
undergoing the same infiction the northern
counties have been suffering from for the
past few weeks. Grasshoppers have made
their appearance in myriads, aud are making
sad destruction in gardens and orchards.
Many Of the finest trees have been entirely
diyested of bark as well as foliage, and or
chardists have cause to regret the less OF
some of their best trees. The grasshoppers
NAV be found on fences, houses and barns,
in countless numbers and in low or wet
ground where vegetation has not been parch-
ed by the sun, the ground is said TO be actu
allv covered with them. The amount OF
damage already done to our farmers has
been very great. The operations OF the hit
tie pests seem not to have extended out OF
the plains but have been confined to the
country below the timber on the foot hills
None have made their appearance IN this
vicinity; and the prospect is favorable that
our gardens and orchards may escape the
visitation

Discussed 'PIKE's PEAKERs.-We have
been somewhat amused in noticing the in
scriptions and devises on the wagon covers
of the Pixies Peak emigarnts. One went
through day or two since, with a large
elephant painted over the whole cover. An
other had rude attempt at a pike, with a
pyramid to represent the Peak But the
most unequivocal Inscription yet, we noticed
on the wagon cover of a returned emgrant
on Saturday. 1T reads: "Oh, Yes! Pixies
Peak in Hi and D-n-nationl'' We think
the man owning that wagon must be Of the
opinion that he has been badly humbugged,
and he thus emphaticaly expresses himself.
