Sacramento Politics.
AS a consequence of the disruption on
the 25th, there were two Conventions in
session yesterday in Sacramento, each
claiming to represent the Unionists Of this
county. The Convention at Turn Verein
Hall comprised a large majority Of the
delegates chosen at the primary election,
including a number who had figured upon
Low tickets. The other body, in the AS
sembly Chamber, was "Short," but per-
sistent. Each Convention adopted a
series of resolutions. The Turn erein
Hall Convention declared, in its platform,
that it endorsed the policy of the present
Administration, rejoiced over the triumph
of our arms, and the overthrow of the
slave power, opposed the sale OF the min
eral lands and the taxation of the mines,
favored the introduction of greenbacks as
q circulating medium, condemned the in
vasion of Mexico BY France, demanded
rigid economy Of administration, and be-
lieved in the necessity Of the enactment
of a Registry Law. The other Conven-
ton declared in favor of the Constitu-
tional amendment abolishing negro
slavery, of the repeal of the Specific
Contract Law and the introduction of Ma
tional banks, Of the Monroe doctrine, of
the reorganization Of the militia system
and of q change in the mode of collecting
taxes, and against any immediate change
of u State Constitution so as to secure
the elective franchise to the colored race.
Each set of resolutions touches upon sub
jects which should have been left to the
State Convention. Each undertakes to
pledge the Union men of this county in
favor of the repeal of a law framed to pre-
vent swindling and the introduction Of the
greenback currency without regard to its
relative value, when it is notorious that
upon these points loyalists who are
equally earnest in supporting the Govern
| ment entertain different views. The Turn
Verein Hall resolution against the sale Of
mineral lands and the taxation Of the
mines favors what We believe to be the
wisest policy upon that subject, but there
arc good Union men who hold q different
opinion, and at all events, no issue is pre-
| scented which calls for a definite declara.
ton by q mere County Convention. The
Low Convention probably intended to
conciliare Copperhead votes by an appar-
ent opposition to negro suffrage, but the
resolution upon that topic is so worded
that it can be construed for either side.
That body declares it will oppose any
amendment of our State Constitution Civ.
ing the negroes q right to vote until a Ma
tional Union Convention shall pass upon
the issue. Seeing that the Constitution
| cannot possibly be so amended for several
years, even if the ruling majority favor
that policy, why NEEDLE with the ques.
| tion at all at this time and in a County
Convention?
