stock Raising.

Our principal industrial products are con-
fined To gold, wine aud stock Our gold
producing area is co-extensiye with the geo.
graphical limits of the State, and conse-
quently inexhaustible In this respect
California differs in character from any other
country with which we are acquainted. The
same remark is applicable to the culture of
the vine, Which fourishes, with little care
or attention, in every habitable nook and
corner our of limits. and will eventually be-
come an interest second only TO the produc-
ton of gold. Our climate is world-renowned,
and second 10 no other on the surface of the
globe. Our taxes are, comparatively speak
ing. light. and the richness of our soil pro-
verbal. Our agricultural products are to be
had at a very low price. In a remunerative
point of view, stock raising approaches nearer
to gold mining than any other industrial
interest. The inquiry suggests itself, there
fore, at the outset, why are our domestic
animals of such an inferior character? Is it
lack of interest. want of enterprise, or an in
ability to obtain improved varieties? The
former and not the latter is certainly the
cause. Any improvement in this direction
is worthy of commendation, and it affords us
much pleasure to chronicle the fact that Mai.
Reading. of the Beaunaventura Ranch, has
taken the initial step in this direction. We
are informed that he has recently ma lie an
extensive purchase of Durham bulls from Mr.
r. j. Walsh, of Colusa county, with the
view ofcrossing his stock, and improving the
varieties
Mr.. Walsh has fine lot of blooded stock
on hand for sale, consisting of Durhams,
Devons, and we believe, though we are not
certain, of Ayrshires. We have been also
reminded that this stock is held at remarka-
bly, low figures, considering the prices obtain
ed elsewhere
The example set by Maj. Reading ought to
be followed by every ranchman in the coun-
ty. Capital cannot be invested to better ad-
vantage, and the climate and grasses are so
favorable, that the forage crops of other
countries, unless in rare instances, are un-
necessary here. The stimulus is great, and
the enterprise is certainly not lacking among
a population so intelligent as ours. We
think so, at least

Our Platform.

Thecapture of Sumter was the last ounce
that was to be added to the patient load
lhe hring of the first gun reused the DOR
mant energies of a great nation. That de-
claration of war has given life and vigor to
the national heart, and is daily developing
itself IN such a torrent of patriotism that
none but free people can comprehend. If
our Southern brethren are like the red spi-
ders of the field, and cannot see a Northerner
without conflict, the time is fast approach
ing when the bent of their inclinations will
be satisfied. There are none who deplore
this condition of matters more than ourself.
There are none who have acted with the pu-
rity and singleness of purpose of the Demo-
cratic party to avert this national catastro-
phe. Our aims. our objects, our principles,
all have been coneiliatory, national, and of
character TO promote the prosperity and
harmony of the whole country. The history
OF the Democratic party proves this, and the
experience of the past is a practical illustra-
ton of it. We have never thirsted for
Zama, a Lundy's Lane, Lodi OF Water
loo, nor do we now. The nation is angry.
and laboring under an intense epidemic of
feeling. We want no Caesars, no Crom-
wells passing over our devoted land with
train of blood and pestilence in their track
We have always favored obedience to the
laws and redress of grievances under the
Constitution, the supremacy of our Govern
ment,- the integrity of our territory. and the
guarantees of the Constitution faithfully ex-
| ecuted. and every interest fostered and pro-
tected, whether they are of domestic or
foreign character. That such is our creed
to-day none will deny. Our labors are to
build up our distracted country into fair
and living whole. That this can be accom-
plished at this time may appear problemati-
cal. We do not despair of the Republic. The
frenzied state of the public mind cannot long
remain at fever heat, and the inherent love
of our institutions will soon manifest itself
above the level of the passions and preiudices
of the hour. Partisan issues are dropped for
the present, and our country, . first, last and
all the time, " is for the future to receive our
devotion. Such is the voice of patriotism and
the language of humanity. All our bicker-
ing and strife is hushed in the recollections of
the past. Such is the decree of the Democ-
racy of the Union. and more especially of the
Democracy of California, as expressed bv
their accredited representatives in their re-
cent deliberations As Democrats we acoui-
esce in the fiat of the Sachems of our party.
Our organization will remain intact. We
yield to the pressure of the times and the
emergency that is pending over us. All good
and loyal citizens can cooperate with us,
and we cannot permit ourselves to doubt bnt
that they will. Our vote in this State will
be overwhelming, and somewhat like the in
fiuence of the sirocco in the desert. blighting
to the enemies of this Union.
The Shasta courier., 1861-05-18

The Marysville Appeal is sensitive on the
national, comprehensive. and truly catholic
tone of the Resolutions adopted by the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee. and urges
the calling Of a State Convention to harmo-
nize the diverse elements of the Bell Everett
ers and Republicans as an element of oppo-
sition to our organization. The 1ppedps
efforts in this direction forcibly remindsus OF
the comedy of Loves Labor Lost.
