Daily national Democrat., 1860-08-31
The secession County Convention.

the Court House Z. O. F. Hastings, Federal
office holder was selected as temporary
Chairman, and MIR. Blaekford, OF Timbuctoo,
as temporary Secretary.
The Committee on Credentials reported,
and the report was adopted. The Committee
on order Of business reported W. c. Buckle
lew as President of the permanent organiza-
ton, and Mr.. Blackford as Secretary. MIR.
Buckelew was overwhelmed with the honor
of being selected to preside over the great
democratic National Conv nvention,' and said
so. He compared himself to Moses and said'
that Aaron could speak better for him than
| he could for himself This compliment to the
sable ben-ringer of Marysyille brought down
the house. He was in favor of non-interven-
tion, as he understood it, but it was plain
to see that he didn't understand it at all. To
be brief. however, Mr. Buckelew made n
very creditable speech, considering the cause
he had to advocate, and was loudly applau-
ded.
Pretty soon, Col. n. E. Whitesides and Dr.
G. s Farley were put in nomination for Sen
ator from Yuba county. DR.. Farley saw
that the current was stronger for Whitesides
than for himself, and withdrew in his favor.
The Col. was then nominated 10y acclamaton,
and came forward to enlighten his nomina-
tors on his political status-a thing by no
means unnecessary, under the peculiar cir
cumstances which have surrounded him po-
Iiticaly, for some time past. lie defined his
position on the main issue to be this-non-
Intervention by Congress with the question
of slavery in the Territories and non action
by the Territorial Legislature This is not
exactly his partys platform, but we suppose
he has platform of his own and asks no
odds of Conventions.
Resolutions introduced by b. r. Spillman
were taken up and considered The first
resolution, pledging the Convention anG
party to support no man for the Legislature
who was not opposed to the Bulkhead at
San Francisco, was adopted thus directly
censuring those members of the last Yuba
county delegation who voted for the bulk.
head BILL We should suppose that the reso-
luton did not set very well on the stomach
of ORear, who was present, nor of Hugg,
nor of Jonas Wescoatt, who were there also
The next resolution endorsing John B
Weller and instrueting the candidates, il
elected, to the legislature, to vote for him fo
United States Senator, was poted dotcn. Doe:
this mean that Dr. Gwin is to be supported
10y the Breckinridge candidates, in case they
are elected
Col. Hatch made a speech in opposition tC
the resolution, and stated that John B. Wei
Ter had made speech recently in TuolumnC
county, in which he is reported to have de
clared that, had Douglas received the full
202 votes of the National Convention at Bal
timore, he would have supported him. If
said Col. Hatch, he is correctly reported il
that speech, | would no longer yield him my
seemed to be that John B. Weler's declara-
tion that he would vote for Douglas at all
under any circumstances, was crime enougl
and an objectionable otfense Alas for John
b. Weller His sunshine friends are gone
and the Yuba disorganizers have abandoned
' him to his fate Gwin stock is eyidentl,
coming up.
This thing being over, the Convention
proceeded to nominate candidates for tn,
+ Assembly from the three seve,al Supervisor
t Districts For the first District, Lloyd Ma
= gruder, Jonas Wescott, B. F. Hicks, and A
e Walker were put in nomination. The vote
stood Magruder 81, Weseoat l8, Hicks To-
Walker O.
So Magruder was nominated. He came
forward and defined his position. He said
he was sound, and read letter cf his to the
Standard, when it first hoisted the Secession
flag, to prove it. He said that he was op-
posed to the Bnlkhead Bill, ard that he had
no doubt that some of his Yuba county
friends in the last legislature voted for that
bill 0ithom any peca1,iary considerations
This high compliment to the stern integrity
of those said friends of his was greeted with
loud and enthusiastic applause, in which the
outsiders heartily joined.
Nominations were then made for the As.
sembly from the Second District L. W
Thomas, Lawler, Wick, Rand, Autenheimer
and Cannon were put in nomination, with
the following result:
Thomas, S; Lawler, So Vick, s !; Rand
IS; Autenheimer, 5; Cannon, Is. So Mr.
Lawler was nominated.
Nominations we're then made for Assem-
blymen from the Third District, with the fol-
lowing result:
lst Ballot-B. F. ORear, AZ; J. Hanson
%; Hendricks, 81 Farley ..
I'd Ballot-O'Rear, Al ; Hanson, 40.
So Hanson was nominated Hendricks
withdrew his name on the second ballot)
At this point in the proceedings, a vivid
scene occurred in tie Convention. L. W.
Thomas, mounted upon a table, in a loud
voice addressed the Chair, denouncing the
alleged treaehery of Col Hatch towards Ger
tain delegates and declaring that there were
traitors in the camp A wrong had been
perPetrated and for his part he would not
stand it. lie was on hand to say that he,
with the delegations from Sand Flat and
4uba Ranch, withdrew from that Conven-
ton and refused to recognize its proceedings.
This discord in their harmony being over,
the balance of the Convention proceeded to
nominate candidates at large for the Assem-
bly,. c. II. Kungle and David Haun were
nominated and each made few "neat and
appropriate remarks" Kungle declaring his
