D%EpLoRAsLE CoSplrloS OF THE TREAsrRr.
''Independent," the well Informed Washing
ton correspondent of the Philadelphia .3meri-
car says:
Heretofore gross errors and miscalcultions have
been covered by the continuance Of re-issuing the
Treasury not. S As fast as they were received. or in
other words. by renewing the debt. without IA wing =
plea rune on account The authority stopped ye ter
day. by law. and it will before long b. plain to the
country that the great operations Of the Treasury
have been carried on BY a process of shining
which would disc edit . lame duck" in Wall street.
False balances and exaggerated estimates will not
answer henceforth The people will have some op-
portunity of discovering, Just "n the eve Of Nr Ru-
chanan's exodus from Office. what is the real state OF
the Treasury next winter. One OF the earliest de-
mands Of Mr.. Cobb will be for a loan to cover a pres
emit deficiency which NAV range between five and
six millions. and before the close of the session an
| other loan for nearly so ORC Oro will BE- necessary TO
pay off the floating debt and postponed incumbrances
of this Administration.
With such a condition OF affairs, perhaps
the Breckenridge fragment desire no change
in the Government. OF course not. Fortu-
nately III. people do.

"a ORGANIZE.

Our State election ticket having been no.
minated At Baton Rouge Of the 4th inst, it
becomes the duty of every parish to or
ganize at once for the campaign now before
u. It is but too well known that our organi-
cations in this State, for the past five years,
have not been Is perfect as they should, and
the consequences have told fearfully upon
our ranks. The lessons of '55. SO, '57, and
80 are before Us, and We must profit by them
to the fullest extent in the present canvass.
The disasters We 50 frequently experienced
are mainly Attributable to this cause. 1t has
often been admitted by our sdversaries, when
Democracy was \ unit in this State, that had
we been united in concert of action, tL.ey
would not have trumphed so easily, if at all
Now thai the Democracy are about equally
divided shall We not avail ourselves Of the
prize thus temptingly d%isplayed' All that
We require 's q perfect understanding, and the
6eld Is ours. Let the fairt-hearted look
at the vote polled by the opposition in this
State for five years back, and they will see
that the majoritie. Of the united Democracy
were tri6ing. With q knowledge OF this fact
we hope our IT ends will no longer delay but
put their shoulders to The wheel and be I'M
tirinE in the cause Of the Union Candidates
BELL nd EVERETT.
Upon the subectof organizing. the Bult-
tin makes the following suggestion which we
endorse and recommend to our readers.
The Presidential contest will depend main
" upon the votes of these thousands Of the
interior, upon whom the subject Of politics
in party sense rest lightly. and who are ready
to vote patrioticzlIy. We must therefore
reach these men-sll OF them We want to
present to them the great points Of the cam
vass in . clear perspicious light. SO that they
can survey the whole ground at q glance.
For this purpose therefore we need nov or
ganizat,on. This is the desideratum u,,on
which the whole question will turn. We
must circulate documents and papers c%ontain-
taing the truth, the whole truth, ard nothing
but the truth. This is what We want, and
that 10 what we must havesjn order TO sue
coed. Every parish in the State should have
IN euecUve parish 0f&anszation. ana every
ward an effective ward organization. A State
organization is, of course, indispensable, to
which the parish and ward organizations can
apply for papers and documents. Let this be
done, and let speakers be appointed fol every
parish in the State. In a word, let the Bell
and Everett Organization be made thorough
and complete throughout the State, and it is
as certain to cast its electoral votes for these
distinguished men as the sun is to Use. The
Alabama State Convention appointed parish
ELECTORS in addition to State electors. This is
"a cspitsl idea md should Be adopted by the
State Convention OF Loui lana.
Let the friends of Bell and Everett through
out the South organise-ORGANiZE EVERY.
WHERE. Let rich men who do not wish to
engage actively in the canvass pay: and lei
the young men work.

THE PLACER HERALD.
AUBURN, MAY 10, 1850.
Charleston Convention,

BY this time every one is informed that
the proceedings of the Charleston Conven-
ton were troublous, that some States finally
seeded, organized separate Convention
{and adjourned to meet in Washington June
l1tb), and that the remainder, after baoting
over fifty times, failed to nominate Presi-
dental ticket and finally adjourned to NEE:
in Baltimore on the 18th of June. This
much as well rs an attempted detail of the
proceedings Of the Convention is given in
the Sacramento Union, but is is palpable the
omissions Of that report are very serious-so
much So that it is impossible, in several i'm
portant PARTICULARS to make sense of the pro-
ceedings.
1t is certain, however, that the platform
reported by majority of the Committee was
rejected, and minority platform adopted,
which was distas eful to some of the South
ern States, and the entire Mississippi, Ala
bana, Arkansas, aud Florida delegations
withdrew rs well as portions Of delegations
from other Southern States. Much excite
ment prevailed upon the withdrawal Of these
delegates and without the transaction OF
other important business the Convention adj
iourned for the day. On the following day
the President announced the first business in
order to be the disposition Of several pending
motions to reconsider the vote by which the
platform had been adopted, but in the subse-
ouent proceedings no action appears to have
been taken on these motions.
During the same day the Tennessee dele
CATION presented the following resolutions as
the ultimatum of the South and said they
were acceptable to the seeding delegates
Resolved, That all citizens of the United
States have equal right to settle with their
property in the Territories of the United
States: and that under the decision of the
Supreme Court, which we recognize as cor
rect expo-itor of constitutional liberty, the
rights Of neither person nor property can be
destroyed by Congressional or Territorial
legislation.
Resolved, That two,thirds of all the Elec
tora votes of the United States shall be
required for the nominations.
The report tells us the latter resolution
was adopted, but does not say what became
of the first. Shortly thereafter the baloting
seems to have commenced, and continued
through two days, and upon Tuesday, 3rd
inst, the Convention adjourned.
The report is decidedly muddy, and it is
only upon the receipt of the Eastern papers,
with full Details that we can arrive at full
understanding of the proceedings now so
mystifed by the Union's St. Louis collator
of news.
The Tennessee proposition contains the
basis of a platform that we hope to see
adopted at Baltimore; we believe its doctrine
correct, and such as the Democracy could
win with
