Delegates to State Convention.

Ii will be seen by the published proceed
ings of the County Union Central Committee
in another column. that the Committee have
seen proper to appoint six delegates to repre-
sent this county in the State Convention to
assemble at Sacramento on the oath inst.
This course was thought advisable bv the
Committee. for the reason of the short time
to elapse before the meeting of the 0onven
ton, which would not enable them to give
sufficient notice to the more distant pre-
cincts for an election of delegates to County
Convention, and at which, if one had been call
ed, the sole business to betransact. d would
be to elect delegates to the State Conven
ton.
As the Committee had taken considerable
pains to inform themselves of the wishes Of
Union men in the several districts of the
county, and as but one sentiment prevails in
regard to who the people wish for President
for the next four years, botkas first and
second choice, they deemed it best for the
interests of the party to select delegates from
each section of the county, who would be
most likely to represent their various con-
stituents in the Convention, and thus save
members of the party the expense and trou-
BILE of electing delegates and attending a
County Convention.
The delegates chosen are believed to be
sound. unconditional Union men. who fully
endorse the present Administrator in the
prosecution of the war. and are believed to be
in favor of sending delegates to the National
Convention whose first choice for President
of the United States is Abraham Lincoln,
and whose second choice is Benjamin F.
Butler the rebel tanner.
We believe the action of the Committee
will be approved by the members of the
Union party throughout the county, as the
best thing that could have been DONE

NEW VOLUME.
LARS.

With the present number we commence
sition it will occupy upon the great national
questions now agitating the country, we shall
pursue the same uncompromising course for
the vigorous prosecution of the war for the
suppression of the rebellion, and the support
of the Administration, as we have done for
the past year. Having done all that lay in
our power for the success of the Union party
during the past exciting political contest, we
shall unfalteringly, and to the utmost of our
ability, strive to unite more firmly the loyal
sentiment of the people upon the question of
our National existence and show to them the
necessity of undivided action with the Union
party as the only safe course for preserving
our republican institutions.
Notwithstanding the increased expense of
the material used in the publication OF a
newspaper, yet. thanks to the efforts of our
friends in our behalf, we are enabled to place
the publication of the COURIER upon sure
and firm basis, which promises fair remune-
ration for our time and labor.
Being the official paper of the county, in
which all legal and mining notices will ap-
pear, the COURIER should be in the possession
of every business man and miner in this Sec
ton of the State. We therefore ask our
friends to assist us in extending its circula-
ton, for our own benefit, and the general
prosperity of our county.
