DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

Now that the people of the Democratic
party have declared with a positivencness
and unanmty unparalleled, that there shall
be no more subsidy or robbery Of the
Masses under whatever name it may as
sumo, either by corporations Or individuals,
the State Convention meet at Sacramento
next Tuesday, has but simple, though vast
ly important duties to perform in the carry
ing out of the demands of the people express
ed in their primary capacity. The delegates
to that Convention are bound, by all cor
rect precedents and by every principle of
honor and justice, to fairly and strictly rep
resent the people who sent them, in all their
votes, and upon every question that may be
involved in the present contest, and those
delegates who fail to do this, if there be any,
should be marked, published and despised
through all future time. What does this
almost universal expression of the people in
their primaries, where they have been allow
ed to hold them, and County Conventions
mean? It means that every species of sub
sidy, Of the robbery of the many for the ben
eft Of the few, of the giving Or granting of
the lands or other property Of the State to
individuals or corporations, or of the oner-
Gus and exorbitant charges for freight and
fare by protected corporations shall cease and
be prohibited forever on the assembling of
the next legislature and the Inauguration of
the new State officers and Supreme Judges.
1t means, further, that this Convention shall
proclaim these doctrines and publish them to
the whole people Of the State, and that it
shall give to the people only candidates for
all the officers to be voted for who are SOL
emnly pledged to carry out these principles
by every act and all the influence they can
exact during their entire terms Of office. In
word, the people in their primary capacity
have declared that henceforth in this State
taxation shall only be imposed for the secur-
ity of life, liberty, the protection of property
and the punishment of crime. This doctrine
inaugurated and strictly carried out in the
State and counties, and half the burdens of
Government will cease at once, and half the
taxes that are now weighing down the ener
gies of our people and consuming the earn
ings of labor can be stricken from the roll.
These are the instructions, briefly summed
up, given by the great mass of our party TO
its delegates in the coming State Convention
and if faithfully carried out by that body,
not only will great and memorable victory
be achieved, but new era in the political
history of this State will have been inaugur
ated that will carry blessings, prosperity,
contentment and satisfaction to every home,
except that Of the schemins plunderer, in
California. To make the actions of the
Convention perfect, candidates only whose
past history and acts, both public and pri-
vate, are in complete harmony with the
above principles, must be placed on the tick
ct. Such is what the people demand, and
he is not their friend who possesses not the
honesty, purity and patriotism to grant it:

report says: ! n.
The sea being quite rough. the brig

with him being q small canvas bag con-

mate, Mr.. johnson, died first, six days

salmon. half barrel Of tongues, and q
box OF China starch, were fshed up ont
of the hold, but the drinking water was
all found to be brackish. The salmon,
tongues, starch, and few fish caught
with hook from time to time, and oc-
casionally little rain water caught in a
sail, and always more orless brackish

ships company had to subsist on. Capt.
Hopken's account of the suGsrings OF
his inen and passengers is most heart
rending one. After the death of the
mate. on the 9th of July, none occurred
till September 6, when they began to
become delirious and weak from hunger
and thirst, and several died or jun ped

disease, induced by hunger and salt
water. added to the intensity of their
sufferings. Nine Or ten days before the
steamer rescued him, Captain Hopken
states that bark ran down to the wreck,
hove to for q few minutes, and then
squared away without sending off boat
or making any effort to rescue the lives
OF those on board, of whom there were
eight then living. The bark came 80
near that persons could be seen moving
about on her deck. Those on the brig
we're 80 weak as to be unable to stand,
but got on their knees and waved pieces
Of sail-cloth. hoping to attract attention.
