THE RIGHT COURSE.
In this Consentl there were cliqne of
secessioni,ts who had no other aim than to
make a trket to be defeated, and virtually
to adopt platform which would be SO
odious as to advance the Douglas Democra
cy, and contrary to their wishes, elect the
ticket which Should be nominated by John
Couness d Co. Also, in said Convention
there were Democrats who visited TO pnr
sue a medum course, and also, few demo
Gratis, like Sanderson of FL Dorado, who de
sired to pursue a certain direction which
would land them this year with the Doug
las Democrats and next year with the Re
publrana.
TIE DEMOCRACY AWAKE.
A first a large majority of the Conven-
ton were opposed 10 a postponement Of the
nomination Of a ticket at this time. Bat
after mature and sincere consideration the
Convention was convinced that "policy'
dictated such a course The Convention
therefore al journed to meet on the 23d day
of July, then to make full State III, ket.
suspicion has been raised that the succeed
ing Convention might alter or mutiIate the
platform adopted, a resolution was voted
down almost unanimously against any such
proceeding, But believe that DISPOSE
ton exists to change the platform, and it
may he modified on the assembling Of the
next Convention.
THE REPUBLICAN, GOVERNOR.
BY expressions from the vali County
Conventions he'd 10 nominate delegates tc
the Republican State Convention, it seems
apparent that Leland Stanford will receive
the nomination over Senator Phelps. Con
sidering the appliances, through Federal
patronage. which have been brought to bear
throughout the State, it would be strange
and an anomaly in political warfare were the
result otherwise. mo more appointments
in the Custom House and no appointments
at all in the Sacramento Post Office until
after The State Convention" has had its "on

and levers that move men.
ITS EFFECTS Upon TIE PARTY.
II it appears to the minority of this
Convention. when it meets on the 18th in
stant, that Phelps has been overcome by
the Rankin clique, what will the Phelps Re
putlicans do? Will they quietly yield ard
acquiesce in the nomination. An attempt
will be made TO compromise by cffering the
Congre ssional nomination to Phelps. But
will this satisfy his friends, a, well as Camp
bell, of San Francisco, who is the already
accredited man for the position. When
Conventions 90 nmence 10 fill State ticket
on tie ''rrowdiug back" system, greater dis
salistacti II is made. So you see, Messrs.
Editors, that this nomination Of Stanford,
admitting Il at it is forced, is enveloped in
serious troubles. In the case that Sacra
mento county should hold the balance of
power between Stanford and Phelps, will

WAS carried 10y one Of the most stupenlous
fraud, ever rerpetrated upon the electors of
any party. There was nothing to dis,n

! care not how tten the Sacramento Union
publishes the lie that these meetings were
carried for Stanford through the Interference
of Breckenridge Democrats. The tru,l, is

have sent delegates to the Convention by the
action Of the County Central Committees.
II these de legates prove to lie for Stanford,
then follows another contention over them

be about as harmonious as some of those
Democratic Conventions when David G.

THE Dol GLAS DEMOCRACY.
The political troubles do not all attach to
the Republican party. Their twin brothers,
