Califoi mans.
The following is the protest presented to the
President against Col Bakers interference in
the California appointments;
To HIS ExcELLENcY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED rEs:-The undersigned, Republi-
cans of the State of California, respectfully
and earnestly protest against tho interference
of the Hon. Z. D. Baker, Senator from Oregon
with the Federal appointments in the State of
California. First-Because somc of the ap
pointments which Colonel Baker desires would
be very unacceptable to the party in our State,
and would be most injudicious and most prcju
dicial to the public interests. Secondly-Be-
cause California is able and willing to represent
herself; and to attach her as appendage to
Oregon, would be to demoralize our party, and
to expose us to the certainty of defeat in the
next and subsequent elections.

This was presented by Simonton, Of the Bu-
letin, at the head of its forty signers, and the
sane gentleman also read paper cond -mning
Colonel Baker, which, as has already been pub |
lished, the President cast into the FIRE. The
Bulletins correspondent adds:
After the President had burned the paper, and |
thus relieved Col. Baker of the indiguty which |
had been put upon him, Mr.. Carnage, Benjamin |
L. West and J. NJ. Eckfeldt, went up and erased
their names from the protest, which they had |
voluntarily signed. OF coarse, the President
could not avoid noticing the cowardiee which |
actuated them. Mr.. lincoln declined to hear
discussion Of tho case, which was offered by |
Thomas s. Fitch and VIM. II. Weeks but as
sured us all that he should give due considera-
Ii n to our protest, and that he should be happy
to consult with our committee upon appoint
monts.
