The Nevada Democrat., 1860-03-07
nm. cr... p.e,ae R,uublse.

While the subject Of resolutions was pending
before the lats Administration State Convsn-
tion, Mr.. Maulden. a delegate from Sacramento,
offered the following:
Rssolvsd, That we, the people Democratic,
while we depreeate all efforts at dsunion, are
prepared to maintain the Independence OF Call
fornia.
The mover Of the resolution explained II TO
mean this That in case the American Union
was dissolved, CaIiferniaswould set up ~ inde-
pendent republic. He said that some parties
had promised California to the South, and 9TH
ers might promise US to the North, and he wish
ed the declaration TO 60 forth ia an anshorita-
tive form that the State would set up it's inde-
pendencs in case the contingency named should
happen. The re solution was laid on the table
by q unanimous vote-the members thus de-
claring that dissolution Of the Union WAS an
event SO impr obable that IL was unnecessary
for California to take any actioH in the matter
1t is true, as Mr.. Nsulden stated, that Cali
fornia has been promised to the South. Sena-
tor Gwin made Q statement to that effect Ia the
U. s. Senate; and his organ at San Francisco
went little farther, and said that in case
Republican was elected to the Presidency, the
people of this State would take up arms and
help tho South In tearing asunder the bonds
that unite US ss one common people. But the
statements Of G win and his organ are gross
libel upon the people Of this State. The threat
Of Gwin was made to accomplish partisan pur-
poses, but IL the time ever comes when he and
bis rstainers should attempt to execute the
threat, they would ind themselves repudated
as soon as the people had an opportunity to
make known their will. The result Of the next
Presidential election may be matter Of vital
Importance to few politisiaus-those now
holding, and those expecting hereafter to bold,
the Federal offices-but the people Of Calfor-
MIA know full we'll that their interests cannot
be materially affected by the political opinisns
of the man who dispenses the Federal patron
age.
The idea advanced in some quarters that
California would, in certain contingency, at-
tempt to set up great Pacific Republic, is cal
culated to tickle the politicians those anxious
to serve as President, foreign ministers, etc.,
but such proposition, if seriously made, would
be secuted by the people. The white popula'
ton Of the entire Pacific Coast does not exceed
500 900; and what sort Of 6gure would such
a republic make among the great nations OF the
earthf Instead of being an integral part of
powerful nation Of thirty millions Of people,
we should find ourselves Of about as much i'm
portance as the Sandwich Islands, and in case
OF diffculty with third.rate power OF Europe
would have to rely upon the Atlantic States for
protection.
The Nevada Democrat., 1860-03-07

ADMINISTRATION STATE CoNNENTIeN.-This
body met at Sacramento last Wednesday, and
organized by electing Hon. Phil. Moore Chair
man. The next day, the following delegates
were elected to Charleston: G. w. Patrick, of
Tuolumne; John s. Dudley, Of Siskiyou; VIM.
Bradley, Of San joaquin; Newell Gregory, OF
Monterey John Bidwell, Of Butte; John A.
Driebelbiss, of Shasta A. E. Smith, Of San
Francisco; John Rains, Of San Bernardino. A
resolution declaring Dickinson the first choice
Of California for President was passed, but the
Convention BY a large majority, refused to in
strsct the delegates for him. A resolution
was offered by v. e. Geiger. Federal official,
declaring Stephen A. Douglas the last choice OF
California for President, but the resolution was
tabled by large majority. or the eight dele
gates elected, seven are ranked as Latham
men, and II is said they will consult that trick
ussr when they reach Washington, as to the
course they shall pursue at Charleston. 1t is
believed, however, that Douglas is the iirst
choice OF a majority Of the delegates.
The second resolution approves the bred
Scott decision declares that the Courts have
power to protect slave property in the Terrific
ries, and that 1t is improper for Congress to
interfere unless necessity requires it. The res
olution was designed to take the "safe middle
ground" between the doctrine Of the Democrat
ic party as advocated by Douglas aud the ultra
views of the slave coolers.
