Our County Ticket.


To-day we place at the masthead the tick

Convention on last Sanrday-and in doing
so we take occasion to congratulate the
Convention and the party upon the excel.
lence of the selections Ii was the aim Of
the Convention in presenting candidates
for the SURFACES of the people, to have
them from the substantial men of the coun-
ty. Men whose long residence and interest
in tue affairs of the county and State
would be guarantee in the event OF their
election. that they would be guided wholly

affairs of legislation and the county. In
this the Convention has succeeded almira

nominees should be men of intelligence.

have been too frequently ignored in sending
men to the Legislature. or in filing other
offices. Our political opponents even go so
far as to call the ticket a strong one The
candidates are re men-;hat is, they are
candidates for the first time in the lives.
They are old Democrats. however, and have
never in the remotest degree been effected
with the faint Of Republication. And it

The State Convention.

The Democratic State Convention met on
Tuesday, and closed its labors on Thursday
afternoon. AS au intellectual body il has
never been surpassed, if equalled by any
Convention in the State Even the opposi-
ton prints grant this much. The proceed.
ings throughout were characterized by good
feeling and gentlemanly bearing; and al
though a diversity Of opinion existed as to
the platform that should be adopted, yet
the discussions were conducted in Kindness,
and with marked ability, as will be seen by
the reported proceedings in the Sacramento
Union.
AS was to have been expected. from the
anamolous condition of national affairs, the
platform received more than ordinary at,en-
ton from members, and its provisions were
attentvely considered. And the difference
in the sentiments of members was manifested
By majority and minority report on resou
tons, as well as a Substitute that was offered
for both. The minority report and the sub
sjiute were rejected by the Convention. and
the majority, which we publish to-day was
adopted by a large vote. Cher resou-
tons, TO be added to the platform, were
subsequently adopted, and will be found in
our publi.hed proceedings.
For tie reason that an impression had
gone abroad that the nomination of ticket
would he postponed until July, a number Of
counties were not represented; and to enable
them + be represented, and not to have too
long canvass, the Convention adjourned
until the 23d of July. At that time q full
ticket Will be nominated.
The platform adopted will be thoroughly
scrutlnized, and already the opposition press
ha pronounced it full tiedged seress on
document-and profess to find it advocated
in the third resolution. We have read the
resolutions with care. and cannot find in
them an alvocary of secession. The third
resoIuti"" says That we are in favor of the
preservation of the Union upon Constitu
tional guarantees which will be acceptable
to both sections Of the Confederacy." Every
national man can certainly subscribe to that
sentiment. 1t proposes to deal justly to
both sides 1t does not ask for guarantees
for the South that will be distasief to the

We have received the following from Mr.
f. Barrett, of u per Horse Shoe Bart
being copy of a letter sent 10y him to The
Chairman of the Douglas Central Commit
tee of this county. The test adopted by
the Committee, for their primary elections,
partakes so much of the war policy of the
Black Republicans. with all its attendant hor.
rors, that Mr.. Barrett cannot subscribe to it.
We think there are many others, who have
been acting with the Douglas party, who will
not indorse the test of the Committee:
JOHN NYE, Esq, Chairman of the Democratic
(Donglas) Central Committee of Placer county:

at that point, but the details are not given.

Gen. Butler was at Fortress Monroe with
$4,000 men and his force Increasing daily.
l'nmors OF all kinds are given besides, but
not worth the publication. The news of
one day is contradicted the next, until the
mind is utterl Y confused in sitting truth from
