| have this to say in relation to the pro
cceliucs of the above Committee: |, as a
Republican, feel that We, the laymen Of the
marty, ought to have at least the privilege oi
cIeeGng our own delegates to the County
Convention, and then let the County Conven-
ton elect delegates to the State Convention. /
am fully persuaded that this has always been
the rule of the Republican party as well as
all other parties of Il political character i'll
the country. | most certainly, as a Republic
can, would like to vote upon this matter and
can see no reason why County Committee
should pledge me to abide their nominations
aud selections when have had no voice in
the matter, either directly or Indirectly 1t
seems, however, that the County Committee
have taken the entire matter into t'.cir own
hands, and simply say TO the rank and file Of
theGmty, "IIcre, Republicans, wehaye met
in lMrysyille and selected some men to suit
ourselves that will 90 down to Sacramento
anil make nominations for you to vote for
My. Editor, we are informed that portion OF
tn, County Committee were opposed to this
ligh handed scheme. Mr., Snyder and Mr.
Becher voted against the foregoing resolu-
l.ou, and desired to have the election Of dele
gates submitted TO the people. These two
g.ulemon. .oynccl ly their action in the
matter, that the Republican voters Of the
county were the best judges as to their own
Interests and as TO whether or not they de-
sired to throw away their right to vote for
men 10 represent them in the state Conyen-
tiyo, in oglcr "1o save time and expense.
Mr. Editor, have couv,rscd with many Re-
Talicaa' in r,cud to the action of the
County Committee, in this portion Of county,
and have yet to find one who will endorse
the same; but on the contrary they rcpudi-
ate the whole proceeding. We think here
that the County Committee has no authority
to dictate to US and compel us to vote for
m,a that they sny through their appoiutccs.
without our consent, shall lie our candidates.
In conclusion, will say that we will support,
rs Union Republicans, men, whoever they
may be, if nominated ly fair expression of
tbe party; but We, as Union men and Re
fublicans, will never endorse the trickcry
displayed by majority of the County Com
mitee on Saturday. We believe that We
are the best judges as to our own "time" and
our own "cXpcnse" and men that we want to
nave represent us in the State Convention.
Yours, &c, TMsucroo.
