4. That in the name of the loyal beople OF
California, we demand of the General Govern
nent by all its power, to protect their lives and
property on the high seas, between this coast
and the Atlantic, from the piraiica flag which
already threatens injury, and would iniict de-
struction on both.
5. That all former partisan differences are lost
in the present overwhelming crisis and he who
would seek, by reviving them, to distract the
people, or to wrest from their honest and patri-
otic devotion some sordid partisan advantage, is
not true to the country nor worthy of the name
of American citizen.
6. That, as Californians, we appeal to the
whole people of California, without distinction
of party, reference to partisan issues to stand
with US by our country and our flag, that all
may know that the great Union party of Cali
fornia is the ovcrpowering majority of her citi-
zens.
Z. That we are opposed to any countenance of,
or coalition with, any body of men who are not
wholly and heartily in favor of the whole Union,
and who are not willing to sacrifice partisan or
ganization for the welfare of their country, and
that We Will not nominate, or vote for any man
who is not wholly, and without reservation, true
to the Union and in favor of the sentiments ex-
pressed in the foregoing resolutions.

of the nation at the death of the man whose
great intellect and unainching patriotism would
have rendered the best service to the Govern

The order of business being called for, it
was proposed that the candidates for Dist
rict Judge take the stand and make known
their views on the state of the county
John l. Caldwell and Moses F. Holt indorsed
the platform without hesitation John R.
Mcconnell took the stand. In order that
no msapprehension might exist and that no
chance for mistakes nj hit occur as to his
real position, he had reduced his opinions
to writing. He was Union man. He de-
p!ored the present troubles in the country
lie thought the Seccssionists were alto
gether wrong in their conflict with the Gen
eral Government. They had not sufficient
cause. But he declared the President had
exceeded nj. powers in raising armies and
declaring war. He had infractcd the Con-
stitution. In proof of this he read from
Douglas, and alluded TO an old speech of
Daniel Webste-. He indorsed Gov. Dswney
and concluded by saying he could not sub
scribe to the resolutions adopted by the
Convention. He WAS not candidate for
the position of District Judge of his own
accord, and did not wish the Convention to
