The State Conventions. As was anticipated the delegates elected to the Democratic State Convention organized in separate Conventions, on the 4thinst. The party had become eo thoroughly divided in the several counties that both Conventions were pretty fully represented. There are forty-five counties in the State, entitled toan aggregate representation of 324 votes in Convention. In the anti-Lecompton Convention, thirty-eight counties, eutitled to 291 votes were represented, and in the Lecompton Convention, forty counties, having about 300 delegates, were reprets, &e., sented. It will thus be seen that the party was eempletely disorganized before their representatives met at Sacramento, and any attempt to have organized together would have been a failure. The Popular Sovereignty Convention nominated Jos. C. McKibben, of Sierra, and Wm, L. Dudley, of Calaveras, for Congress; John L. Curry, of Solano, for Justice of the Supreme Court; I. N. Dawley, of Nevada, for Controller, and H. U. Jennings, of Butte, for Clerk of the Supreme Court. The Lecompten Convention nominated J. G. Baldwin, of San Franeisco, for Justice of the Supreme Court, and A. R. Meloney for Controller. An attempt was made to nominate candidates for Congress, but failed, it is said, in consequence of the opposition of different aspirants for the position, The proceedings of the Lecompton Convention, with the exception of an occasional speech, in which everybody in general and Broderick and MeKibben in particular, were denounced as traitors, eto., went of rather tamely, and the resolutions adopted were much less pointed and emphatic than was expected. It is stated that there was a large Popular Sovereignty element in the Convention, and that quite a number of delegates had determined to withdraw provided resolutions were adopted denouncing Broderick and McKibven, Be this as it may, a majority of that Convention, for some reason, acted as though they bad a weak caure, The Popular Sovereignty Convention was full of life and enthusiasm, and the proceedings were harmonious throughout. Among the list of delegates we recognize the names of many of the staunchest and most talented Democrats of the State, and among them all, but very few could be named who had ever strayed from the Democratic fold and wondered off after strange gods. They acted and spoke as though they felt that their cause was just and that the people would sustain them. But whether sustained or not before the people, they are not the men to desert what they believe to be a just principle because they may happen to be in a minority. Having a just cause, and talented and reliable men for standard-bearers, the Popular Severeignty Democracy of California can enter the campaign, now fairly opened, with every confidence of success, of the Two Conventions—The Resolutions . 7 In our columns to-day we give the resolutions on nae adopted by the Conventions of the twe wings of the party held at Sacramento. Both Conventions, it will be seen, endorse the Cincinnati Platform, but differ as to its construction, and upon the English Conference Bill the resolutions make a direct issue—the anti-Lecompton Convention denouncing it, and the Lecompton Convention approving it. Asa whole, we approve of the resoulutions adopted by the anti-Lecompton Convention. By endorsing the Cincinnati Platform, they recognize the right of the people of all the Territories, “acting through the legally and fairly expressed will of a majority of actual residents, and whenever the number of their inhabitants justifies it, to form a Constitution, with or without domestic slavery, and be admitted into the Union upon terms of perfect equality with the other States.’’ This principle was thoroughly discussed during the canvass of 1856, was well understood by the people to be a leading plank of the Democratic platform, and was triumphantly sustained by the election of the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. The masses rallied to its support, expecting that it would be carried out to the letter. But in the attempt to force the Lecompton Constitution upon the people of Kausas—a Constitution which no one pretends was the raIRLy expressed will of a majority of actual residents—the principle for which the party battled in 1856;was shamefully disregarded. The English Bill, so far as it submits the Lecompton Constitution to a vote of the people, we regurd as a reeognition of the principle of Popular Sovereiguty, and thus far approve of it, It matters not practically, to the people of Kansas, whether or not they put the word “‘Constitution” on their ballots, when they come to vote; they b at least the right to put such words on their ballots as will either adopt or reject the organic law, which was attempted to be forced upon them. But it is difficult to imagine how any one professing to adhere to the Democratic doctriue of non-intervention by the Fedral Government with the domestic institutions of the Territories, can approve of the condition annexed to the English Bill. Finding it imposssible to force the Lecompton Constitution through Congress, the English Bill was at length hit upon, whien gives the people uf Kansas the alternative to come into the Union now, with a Constitution which they had already repudiated or, in case they wished to form a Constitution for themselves, they must wait until their populatiou was sufficient to entitle them to a Representative in Congress, This is intervention in ite most objectionable form. If the population of Kansas is sufficient to entitle them to admission under the Lecompton Constitution, it is sufficient to entitle them to admission under a Constitution of their own making. As the people of Kansas were not a consenting party to the condition attached to the English Bill, we hold that they are not bound to adhere to the threatened alternative in case they reject the Constitution ; but when they shall have rejected it, they will have the right to claim admission under another Constitution, provided it has received the popular assent. When we first read a synopsis of the English Bill, we were induced to regard it with some favor as a measure of compromise between the two wings of the party, but the more we reflected upvn it subsequently, the less we liked it, for it must be regarded as a direct intervention on the part of Congress in the domestic affairs of a Territory. The first of the three resolutions introduced by the delegate from Sutter, and which were adopted by the Lecompton Convention, takes direct issue with President Buchanan. In bis aonual message, the President recommended that hereafter, in all cases, Cougress should re. quire that the Constitution be submitted toa vote of the people previous to a Territory being admitted asa State. The resolution recognizes the right of delegates elected to form a Constitution to determine whether or not their work shall be submitted to the people for approval or rejection; in other words, it approves of the fraudulent and treacherous manner in which the delegatcs acted who framed the Lecompton Constitution. We believe this is the first instance in which a body of men, professing to represent any considerable portion of the Democracy, have approved of the course pursued by the Lecompton Convention, and it was only as a matter of “expediency”? that the Lecomptonites insisted that that Constitution should be recognized by Congress as binding upon the people of Kansas. The Popular SovJas.

We have placed on our ticket the names of the nominees fer Congress and Clerk of the Supreme Court. Messr:. McKibben and Dudley, we presume, were nominated more for the purpose of giving additional enthusiasm to the campaign, and for the purpose of putting them on the track for next year, than with the expeetation that their election this year would be decided legal. The idea of nominating candidates for Congress this year was, we believe, first suggested by the S. F. Herald, and the bint thrown out that the candidates having the highest vote might be admitted to their seats provided a majority of the next House of Representatives agreed with them politically. We should never wish to see candidates whom we may have supported for office, ebtain their places solely on partisan ground. But there is every probability that the next House will be composed of three parties, and that no one party will be in a majority, consequently there is no danger of @ fraud being perpetrated for partisan purposes. An act was passed by the Legislature, last winter, postponing the election of members of Cengress until next year. This act is believed by many to be in conflict with the Constitution of the United States, which says that members of the House shall be elected every two years; but the elause is generally construed to refer to the length of time which Representatives shall serve. The House of Representatives is the only body that has authority to decide a matter of this kind, and we believe the question bas never yet been settled. Should an extra session of Congress be held between the 4th of next March and the first of December tollowing, the absurdity of putting off the eleetion of Congressmen until several months after their term commences, would become so apparent that members elected this year might be admitted to their seats. The act of the same Legislature, extending the term of the Clerk of the Supreme Court year beyond the time for which he was elected, ie regarded by every one as an outrage and by many is believed to be unconstitutional. There can, therefore, be no harm in voting for a caudidate for that position, fer the purpose of having the legality of the act tested. Vote of Towns. The following is the vote east at the late primary election in several towns of the State where a direct issue was made between the Douglas and Lecompton wings of the Democratic party. The list includes all the towns where the vote was reported: Douglas. Lecompton. San Francisco 1016 1349 Sacramento 1121 858 Nevada 395 255 Marysville 353 182 Dowuieville 44 215 Napa City 195 106 Auburao 122 146 Georgetown 173 83 3419 3194 In addition to the above, Douglas delegates were elected at Oroville without opposition, and at Placerville by a majority of two to one; at Stockton, eighteen Duoglas and twenty Lecompton delegates were elected, and the Lecomptonites carried Sonora and Columbia by a majority of two to one. At Sacramento, Auburn and Georgetown, separate polls were held, and at those places it is probable that mea were allowed to vote on beth sides who have not heretofore acted with the party. The very small vote cast at Sau Francisco is partially accounted for from the fact that ia a number of the districts the officers of the election refused to allow Democrats to vote who would not declare themselves in favor of the Administration, At Nevada, Marysville, Downteville and Napa City. the contest was fairly made between Democrats alone, and there is no doubt tbat at the geueral election a much larger proportional vote will be polled for the Popular Sovereingty ticket at each of these places, Tur Exoutsu Bruu.—Mr. C. E. De Long, a nominee for the Assembly from Yuba county, publishes a card in the Marysville Express, defining his position upon the English Bill. As we understand his position, he dees not differ materially from the Popular Sovereignty Democrats of the State. He says that in case the people of Kansas reject the Lecompton Constitution, and atk for admission under another which had received the assent of the people, he should favor their admission, without regard to the condition attached to the English Bill. Although he says he acquiesces in the bill, yet from the manner in which he explains his position it is evident that he doesnot. If those who profess to acquiesce in the bill, are willing to admit Kansas as a State without regard to her population, then we take it that there is no material difference between the two wings of the party. Every member of Congress who voted for the English compromise, to be consistent, is certainly bound to oppose the admission of Kansas, under any other Constitution except the Lecompton, until her population is sufficient to entitle her to a Representative in Congress, but the Lecompton Constitution, being so particularly acceptable to a majority of Congress, they were ready to admit her at any time under that. The Popular Sovereignty Democrats, on the contrary, give no particular preference to the Lecompton Constitution over any other. RrpvsiicaN Convention.—The Republican State Convention met at Sacramento on the 5th inst., and were in session two days. They adopted a series of resolutions fully endorsing the Republican Platform of 1856, and a majority of the delegates exhibited a determination to keep up adistinct party organization. There was wuch difference of opinion among the delegates as tothe propriety of making nominations, but they finally nominated Mr. Currey for Supreme Judge, and to show the strength of their own party nominated L. C. Gunn forController. They aleo paseed a resolution approving the course of Messrs, Broderick and McKibben, and of those members of Congress who voted against the English compromise. State Centra Commitree.—The following gentlemen were appointed the State Central Committee, by the Democratic Convention, for the ensuing year :— B. B. Redding, William S. Manlove, G. W. Colby, Jobo F. Morse, Josiah Jobneon, W. W. Presbury, G. W. Bloor, E. McGarry, Edmund Randolph, Herman Wobler, Elliott J. Moore, David C. McCarthy, W.J. Knox, George A. Pearce, D. J. Carpenter, P. E. Jordan, Judge Fitzsimmons, Charles F. Lott, William Higbee, A. Winemiller, Thomas Eager. Bloody Affray on the Stanislaus River. A desperate and bloody fight occurred near Central Ferry, on the Stanislaus river. last Wednesday morning, August 4th. A party of five Americans had been at work on a bar, and running a large wheel for mining purposes. Two Frevchmen, working some four or five hundred yards below, had built a dam across the river, which backed the water up so as to stop the wheel. This caused a remonstrance on the part of the Americans, and one of them proceeded to tear away the dam. The Frenchmen then run to their eabin which was near by. seized their double-barrelled shot guns, and fired upon the other party, who were unarmed. Leonard Shoecob was killed instantly, Abraw Delay was mortally wounded, Geo. Crooks was shot through both thighs, and another man was slightly wounded in the side. After the shooting, the Frenchmen took their guns, pistols and amunition, and started across the river, in the direction of Stockton. Asthe attacked party were without arms, and three of the wounded men required assistance, they eould not of course follow. The affair took place about 8 o'clock a. M. After the men were shot, a party of miners from Peoria, headed by Jacob Pike, started in pursuit of the fugitives, They were pursued to Short Crop Bar, Tuolumne county, and from thence up to Chapparal mountain, where the Frenebmen turned and fired on their pursuers. Pike was instantly killed, and Charles McKenney mortally wounded. The Frenchmen then continued their flight. The alarm was spread in every direction, and parties started from Columbia and Sonoré in pursuit of the fugitives, and were promptly on their trail, and it is said they eannot escape. They had some twenty Chinamen employed on their work, who became much alarmed, as great excitement prevailed. Wituprawn.—Mr. John R. Ridge, the late able editor of the Marysville Zcpress, has withdrawn from the editorial charge of that paper. The controlling proprietors of the paper, it seems, disagree with him as to what co.stitutes Democratic principles, which is the oecasion of his withdrawal. In his valedictory, Mr. Ridge says: I cannot in conscience support the platform issued by the so-called Administration State Convention, It embodies, iu my opinion, the embryo of a principle which ueeds only growth and matnrity to expand into monarchy. Its first true manifestation would be a fearful ceutralization of power in the hands of the Federal Government, and its ultimate result the complete overthrow of free institutions, I think Iam right, the proprietors of this paper think ITamwrong. Be that as it may, I have fouuded myself upon the great doctrine of popular sovercignuty, as it is coustrued by the Giaut of the) West, Stephen A, Douglas, aud I will stand by itin peace orin war, It may make but little difference with the great seaof political opinion which boils aud foams around me, whether 1 blow my feeble breath upon it, by the side of the lightning-winged and thunder speaking storm, or whether I withdrawit, but as the smallest pebble that is cast into the ocean's depths stirs, though it be but with a ripple, its rolling waves from shore to shore, so 18 each single man’s opinion of more or less moment in the great affairs of society and government, and mine IL will vot surreuder to the beck of power, though it should be throned in adamant. ee Joun Currey.—The Times and Call, the two most popular papers of San Francisco, favor the election of Mr. Currey to the Supreme Bench. A correspoudent of the Zimes, thus speaks of him: John Currey, of Benicia, is, upon the whole, & most unexceptionable candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court. He is aman over forty years of age, why» has been engaged iu the practice of his profession more extensively thau any other lawyer in his District for the past six years; and during all that period, we believe, he has enjoyed the coutideuce and respect of the Courts, the profession, aud the community iu which he had been industriously following his profession, When the UaitedSiates District Court was first’ esiablished here, John Currey, of Beaicia, was the most prominent caudidate before the Presideat for the appointment of Judge of that Court, excepting only Judge Hoffman, the present incumbent. He has since rejoiced that he was not appointed; for he has entire confidence in Judge Hoffinan; whilst by continuing in his profession he has grown rich, whereas the salary of the United States District Judgeship would hardly have supported bis family. John Currey, of Benicia, is s man of family, 8 man of large property, a man of fine rep utation, of irreproachable integrity, of sound legal experience and ability, of firm and impartial mind, and of pure and unsullied private character. Deatus IN Saasta.—A telegram from Shasta, dated Aug. 5th, to the Sacramento Mercury, says: Jobn Owen, a much respected citizen of Shasta, and carpenter by trade, fell from the bridge in course of construction across the Sacramento, at the mouth of Spring creek, and was instantly killed, yesterday afternoon. Deceased fell more than sixty feet upon the rocks, and his mangled body bounded into the river about tweny feet below. His remains were recovered to-day. He leaves a wife and two children. A man named Thomas Cole was murderd on Townsend’s flat, last night. He was sleeping outside of his cabin. The murderer is not kuowa a A Bisnor’s Oprivion.—Bishop Scott, of the . Methodist Church, writing froia Esquimalt says: I found the people at Bellingham Bay and at Victoria in greatand painful suspense in regard to the future, but the prevailing feeling is that of discouragement, Many have spent all their funds hare nothing to do, and know not how they are either to live here or to get away, So it is also, Iam told, up Fraser river. Jf the trail can be cut through, if the water fall sufficiently extensive, if and f— itis all if. Iam not, you know,a miner, and my opinion is not worth much; but, at any rate, partial; and my opinion is, that this Fraser river excitement will prove to be the greatest humbug of the age, and that many people will suffer even to the last extremity. Tae ADMINISTRATION AND THE DeMocracy.— Instead of receiving a cordial support, no Administration has ever had to withstand so many assaults from an opposition House as the present Demccratic Administration bas had to withstand from a Democratic House ; and it is a remarkable fact that every assault that has been made upon the Administration, though seconded, of course, by the opposition, has been instigated, directed, and stimulated by Democratic members, We believe it isa fact that no meas ure of the Democratic party or Administration has passed the present Congress by a mojority of Democratic votes: but that every measure that has become a law has become so by the liberality of members belonging to one branch the other of the opposition.— Washington ion. ASSESSMENT OF CALAVERAS.—The Assessor of this county has assessed the value of property, and it amounts to $2,400,000. The delinquent . list of last year and supplement, it is stated, will . inerease it at leart $100,000. have no motive to be . THE PLATFORMS. In the Democratic anti-Lecompton State Convention, the following resolutivuns were unanimously adopted : The Democratic party of the State of California, in Convention assembled, make and publish as their Platform and Resolutions : 1. Resolved. That all just po f : derived from the people; tat this principle is recognized as fuucamental by all American Constitutions and by the Democratic party. 2. Resolved, That the right of the people to form and regulate their political institutions in t own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States, as guaranteed to Kansas and Nebraska, by their organic law, belongs alike to the people of all other Territories of the United States. 3. Resolved, That while we adhere to the fundamental Democratic principles embraced in the Cincinnati Fatform of 1856, we especially renew and re-affirm that principle contained iu the resolution known as ‘the Popular Sovereignty Resolution,” declaring the true iutent and meaning of that resolution to be, that the people of a State or Territory are invested with the right of ratifying or re jecting at the ballot bux any Constitution that may be AT TEMPERANCE HALL, NEVADA, Rour Nights Only: POTTER’S ers of goveroment are] DRAMATIC COMPANY Will present to the Ladies and Gentlem lace and vicinity a 7 Sita STERLING PLAY AND FARCE Fach night, togethe: with NEW SONGS and DANCRE And trust they will merit and receive a libera, share “ public patronage, A the compan sent vy lowing persons. all of whom have held Positions in the best Theaters in the United States: The pepular Tragedian, J.H.WARWICR!

Mesdames SOYER & ELLINGSWORTH Administration and Congress to coerce and bribe the people into the adoption of a particular Constitution, not thus ratified by them, are subversive of the principles of pure Democracy, and destructive of the equality of the States under the Constitution. 4. Resolved, That the recent attempts of the Executive and Congress to force upon the people of Kausas a Constitution which they have rejected at a legal election, is in violation of the principles of the party whieh placed them in power, derogatory to the positions they occupy, and destructive of our form of government. Resolved, That we regard with detestation the passage by Congress. at its last session, of the bill known as the ‘‘English Bill.’’ and leok upon itas an attempt to bribe a free people inte the indorsoment of an odious Constitution; as calculated to create sectional feelings, and cause sectional jealousies ; as a violation of the Federal compact; a breach of the Compromises of the Constitution, and a blow at the equality of the States, in that it propeses to make large donations of land, and admit Kanras into the Unionas a State without reference to her population, if she adopts the Lecompton Constitution, which establishes -lavery, while it refuses her people admission until they obtain a population of ninety or one hundred and twenty thousand if they prefer any other than the Lecompton Constitution. . 6. Rssolved, That we heartily indorse the action of those members of Congress who sustained ‘‘the Crittenden-Montgomery Bill,’’ and who opposed the English Bill at the last session of that body. 7. Resolved, That it is the right of the people of the States to regulate, in their own way, their political affairs; that Federal office-holders are servants of the people, and the constant interference by those servants with the primary affairs of party, whether by menaces of dismissal from office, by fereed levies, or by the distribution of promixes and moneys at the polls and elsewhere, is incompati ble with the spirit of our Censtitutjons. State and Federal; subversive of popularliberty. and calculated to destroy the sovereignty of the States and ceatralize power at the Federal Capital. 8. Resolvel, That the immediate action of Congress in securing the construction of a Railroa’ to the Pacific is a recognized feature in our party policy, indispensable to our safety in warand prosperity in peace, and we call upon the Administration to redeem its pledges, and devote its energies to the consummation of this great work. 9. Resolved, That we regard with favor the bill before Congress at its past session, known as the ‘Homestead Bill,’’ which proposes to donate to each actual settler up pon the public lands of the United States one hundred and sixty ac.es, and earnestly recommend the passage of the same. 10. Resolved, That relying implicitly upon the soundness and integrity of the principles above set forth, and upon the justice and intelligence of the masses we present . this platform to the people of the State, and earnestly invoke the active support of allin its vindication and success, cordially inviting to a full and equal communion all those of whatever creed who recognize the justice of our caure in the doctrines we profess, and who desire to participate in their triumph. In the Lecompton Convention the following resolutions were adopted by a vote of 287 ayes to 2 noes: Resolved, That the Democracy of California maintain with untailing faith their attachment to the wise, just and liberal principles announced in the Cincinnati Platform, and, among others, they most cordially approve and will most faithfully sustain the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty and its inseparable guarantee, non intervention of the Federal Government with the domestic institutions of a State or Territory, Kesclved, That the Act of Congress, known as the English Compromise Bill, having referred the whole subject of the admixsion of Kansas tothe decision of the people thereof, wedo, without regard to former differences of opinion, accept and abide by that reference, and cannot but deem any attempt to revive the agitation of that subject in national politics, as a violation of the spirit and in. tent of the Kansas-Nebraska law, and dangerous to the peace and integrity of the Union. Resolved, That we have undiminished confidence in the wisdom, patrietism and Democracy of the Chief Magistrate of the Un'ted States, and pledge to him and to his Administration the earnest support of the people of California in maintaining the honor and integrity of the Union, both at home and abroad. Resolved, That we deem the passage of the Pacific Railroad Bills as of vital importance, net only to the interests of California, but to those of the Union at large; and that while we deeply regret the postponement of that measure and the unfortunate causes which led to it, we congratulate our people upon the establishment of « complete system of overlane mail lines upen all the main Northern. Central and Southern routes to the lacific coast. Resolved, That American ships at sea, under the American flag. iu time of peace, are subject to the jurisdiction . ef the United States, and to that of no other power on earth, whether for search, visitation, or any other purpose whatever; and we rejoice in the promp itude, energy and success, with which this great principle bas just been maintained by a Democratic Administration. Resolved, That the present Democratic Administration of this State is entitled to and receives our cordial approval. Resolved, That we cordially invite the co-operation of all national men, without regard to former politica) associations, to unite with usin the present and prospective struggles against sectionalism and iis attendant evils. The following resolutions, offsred in the same . Convention, by a delegate from Sutter, were adopted by a vote of 202 ayes to 65 noes: Resolved, That we recognize the right of the people of each State and Territory, when so desired by them, to vote upon the adoption or rejection of their fundamental law; but we hold that it belongs not to the Congress of the United States, “but to the people themselves, speaking through their own represe tatives, to say whether they do or do not desire to exercise such right. Resolved, That, in the opinion of this Convention, the formation of and adherence to the so-called Topeka Constitution, by the Abolition party of Kansas, was, in the language of Stephen A, Douglas, ‘‘an act of rebellion, which ought to have been put down by force.’’ Resolved, That it is the will of those who adhere to the Government, and not the will of those who arra’ themselves in rebellion against the Government, that should be looked toand carried out, both in the formation of State Constitutions and in the admission of States in the Union.

The State Conventions. As was anticipated the delegates elected to the Democratic State Convention organized in separate Conventions, on the 4thinst. The party had become eo thoroughly divided in the several counties that both Conventions were pretty fully represented. There are forty-five counties in the State, entitled toan aggregate representation of 324 votes in Convention. In the anti-Lecompton Convention, thirty-eight counties, eutitled to 291 votes were represented, and in the Lecompton Convention, forty counties, having about 300 delegates, were reprets, &e., sented. It will thus be seen that the party was eempletely disorganized before their representatives met at Sacramento, and any attempt to have organized together would have been a failure. The Popular Sovereignty Convention nominated Jos. C. McKibben, of Sierra, and Wm, L. Dudley, of Calaveras, for Congress; John L. Curry, of Solano, for Justice of the Supreme Court; I. N. Dawley, of Nevada, for Controller, and H. U. Jennings, of Butte, for Clerk of the Supreme Court. The Lecompten Convention nominated J. G. Baldwin, of San Franeisco, for Justice of the Supreme Court, and A. R. Meloney for Controller. An attempt was made to nominate candidates for Congress, but failed, it is said, in consequence of the opposition of different aspirants for the position, The proceedings of the Lecompton Convention, with the exception of an occasional speech, in which everybody in general and Broderick and MeKibben in particular, were denounced as traitors, eto., went of rather tamely, and the resolutions adopted were much less pointed and emphatic than was expected. It is stated that there was a large Popular Sovereignty element in the Convention, and that quite a number of delegates had determined to withdraw provided resolutions were adopted denouncing Broderick and McKibven, Be this as it may, a majority of that Convention, for some reason, acted as though they bad a weak caure, The Popular Sovereignty Convention was full of life and enthusiasm, and the proceedings were harmonious throughout. Among the list of delegates we recognize the names of many of the staunchest and most talented Democrats of the State, and among them all, but very few could be named who had ever strayed from the Democratic fold and wondered off after strange gods. They acted and spoke as though they felt that their cause was just and that the people would sustain them. But whether sustained or not before the people, they are not the men to desert what they believe to be a just principle because they may happen to be in a minority. Having a just cause, and talented and reliable men for standard-bearers, the Popular Severeignty Democracy of California can enter the campaign, now fairly opened, with every confidence of success, of the Two Conventions—The Resolutions . 7 In our columns to-day we give the resolutions on nae adopted by the Conventions of the twe wings of the party held at Sacramento. Both Conventions, it will be seen, endorse the Cincinnati Platform, but differ as to its construction, and upon the English Conference Bill the resolutions make a direct issue—the anti-Lecompton Convention denouncing it, and the Lecompton Convention approving it. Asa whole, we approve of the resoulutions adopted by the anti-Lecompton Convention. By endorsing the Cincinnati Platform, they recognize the right of the people of all the Territories, “acting through the legally and fairly expressed will of a majority of actual residents, and whenever the number of their inhabitants justifies it, to form a Constitution, with or without domestic slavery, and be admitted into the Union upon terms of perfect equality with the other States.’’ This principle was thoroughly discussed during the canvass of 1856, was well understood by the people to be a leading plank of the Democratic platform, and was triumphantly sustained by the election of the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. The masses rallied to its support, expecting that it would be carried out to the letter. But in the attempt to force the Lecompton Constitution upon the people of Kausas—a Constitution which no one pretends was the raIRLy expressed will of a majority of actual residents—the principle for which the party battled in 1856;was shamefully disregarded. The English Bill, so far as it submits the Lecompton Constitution to a vote of the people, we regurd as a reeognition of the principle of Popular Sovereiguty, and thus far approve of it, It matters not practically, to the people of Kansas, whether or not they put the word “‘Constitution” on their ballots, when they come to vote; they b at least the right to put such words on their ballots as will either adopt or reject the organic law, which was attempted to be forced upon them. But it is difficult to imagine how any one professing to adhere to the Democratic doctriue of non-intervention by the Fedral Government with the domestic institutions of the Territories, can approve of the condition annexed to the English Bill. Finding it imposssible to force the Lecompton Constitution through Congress, the English Bill was at length hit upon, whien gives the people uf Kansas the alternative to come into the Union now, with a Constitution which they had already repudiated or, in case they wished to form a Constitution for themselves, they must wait until their populatiou was sufficient to entitle them to a Representative in Congress, This is intervention in ite most objectionable form. If the population of Kansas is sufficient to entitle them to admission under the Lecompton Constitution, it is sufficient to entitle them to admission under a Constitution of their own making. As the people of Kansas were not a consenting party to the condition attached to the English Bill, we hold that they are not bound to adhere to the threatened alternative in case they reject the Constitution ; but when they shall have rejected it, they will have the right to claim admission under another Constitution, provided it has received the popular assent. When we first read a synopsis of the English Bill, we were induced to regard it with some favor as a measure of compromise between the two wings of the party, but the more we reflected upvn it subsequently, the less we liked it, for it must be regarded as a direct intervention on the part of Congress in the domestic affairs of a Territory. The first of the three resolutions introduced by the delegate from Sutter, and which were adopted by the Lecompton Convention, takes direct issue with President Buchanan. In bis aonual message, the President recommended that hereafter, in all cases, Cougress should re. quire that the Constitution be submitted toa vote of the people previous to a Territory being admitted asa State. The resolution recognizes the right of delegates elected to form a Constitution to determine whether or not their work shall be submitted to the people for approval or rejection; in other words, it approves of the fraudulent and treacherous manner in which the delegatcs acted who framed the Lecompton Constitution. We believe this is the first instance in which a body of men, professing to represent any considerable portion of the Democracy, have approved of the course pursued by the Lecompton Convention, and it was only as a matter of “expediency”? that the Lecomptonites insisted that that Constitution should be recognized by Congress as binding upon the people of Kansas. The Popular SovJas.

We have placed on our ticket the names of the nominees fer Congress and Clerk of the Supreme Court. Messr:. McKibben and Dudley, we presume, were nominated more for the purpose of giving additional enthusiasm to the campaign, and for the purpose of putting them on the track for next year, than with the expeetation that their election this year would be decided legal. The idea of nominating candidates for Congress this year was, we believe, first suggested by the S. F. Herald, and the bint thrown out that the candidates having the highest vote might be admitted to their seats provided a majority of the next House of Representatives agreed with them politically. We should never wish to see candidates whom we may have supported for office, ebtain their places solely on partisan ground. But there is every probability that the next House will be composed of three parties, and that no one party will be in a majority, consequently there is no danger of @ fraud being perpetrated for partisan purposes. An act was passed by the Legislature, last winter, postponing the election of members of Cengress until next year. This act is believed by many to be in conflict with the Constitution of the United States, which says that members of the House shall be elected every two years; but the elause is generally construed to refer to the length of time which Representatives shall serve. The House of Representatives is the only body that has authority to decide a matter of this kind, and we believe the question bas never yet been settled. Should an extra session of Congress be held between the 4th of next March and the first of December tollowing, the absurdity of putting off the eleetion of Congressmen until several months after their term commences, would become so apparent that members elected this year might be admitted to their seats. The act of the same Legislature, extending the term of the Clerk of the Supreme Court year beyond the time for which he was elected, ie regarded by every one as an outrage and by many is believed to be unconstitutional. There can, therefore, be no harm in voting for a caudidate for that position, fer the purpose of having the legality of the act tested. Vote of Towns. The following is the vote east at the late primary election in several towns of the State where a direct issue was made between the Douglas and Lecompton wings of the Democratic party. The list includes all the towns where the vote was reported: Douglas. Lecompton. San Francisco 1016 1349 Sacramento 1121 858 Nevada 395 255 Marysville 353 182 Dowuieville 44 215 Napa City 195 106 Auburao 122 146 Georgetown 173 83 3419 3194 In addition to the above, Douglas delegates were elected at Oroville without opposition, and at Placerville by a majority of two to one; at Stockton, eighteen Duoglas and twenty Lecompton delegates were elected, and the Lecomptonites carried Sonora and Columbia by a majority of two to one. At Sacramento, Auburn and Georgetown, separate polls were held, and at those places it is probable that mea were allowed to vote on beth sides who have not heretofore acted with the party. The very small vote cast at Sau Francisco is partially accounted for from the fact that ia a number of the districts the officers of the election refused to allow Democrats to vote who would not declare themselves in favor of the Administration, At Nevada, Marysville, Downteville and Napa City. the contest was fairly made between Democrats alone, and there is no doubt tbat at the geueral election a much larger proportional vote will be polled for the Popular Sovereingty ticket at each of these places, Tur Exoutsu Bruu.—Mr. C. E. De Long, a nominee for the Assembly from Yuba county, publishes a card in the Marysville Express, defining his position upon the English Bill. As we understand his position, he dees not differ materially from the Popular Sovereignty Democrats of the State. He says that in case the people of Kansas reject the Lecompton Constitution, and atk for admission under another which had received the assent of the people, he should favor their admission, without regard to the condition attached to the English Bill. Although he says he acquiesces in the bill, yet from the manner in which he explains his position it is evident that he doesnot. If those who profess to acquiesce in the bill, are willing to admit Kansas as a State without regard to her population, then we take it that there is no material difference between the two wings of the party. Every member of Congress who voted for the English compromise, to be consistent, is certainly bound to oppose the admission of Kansas, under any other Constitution except the Lecompton, until her population is sufficient to entitle her to a Representative in Congress, but the Lecompton Constitution, being so particularly acceptable to a majority of Congress, they were ready to admit her at any time under that. The Popular Sovereignty Democrats, on the contrary, give no particular preference to the Lecompton Constitution over any other. RrpvsiicaN Convention.—The Republican State Convention met at Sacramento on the 5th inst., and were in session two days. They adopted a series of resolutions fully endorsing the Republican Platform of 1856, and a majority of the delegates exhibited a determination to keep up adistinct party organization. There was wuch difference of opinion among the delegates as tothe propriety of making nominations, but they finally nominated Mr. Currey for Supreme Judge, and to show the strength of their own party nominated L. C. Gunn forController. They aleo paseed a resolution approving the course of Messrs, Broderick and McKibben, and of those members of Congress who voted against the English compromise. State Centra Commitree.—The following gentlemen were appointed the State Central Committee, by the Democratic Convention, for the ensuing year :— B. B. Redding, William S. Manlove, G. W. Colby, Jobo F. Morse, Josiah Jobneon, W. W. Presbury, G. W. Bloor, E. McGarry, Edmund Randolph, Herman Wobler, Elliott J. Moore, David C. McCarthy, W.J. Knox, George A. Pearce, D. J. Carpenter, P. E. Jordan, Judge Fitzsimmons, Charles F. Lott, William Higbee, A. Winemiller, Thomas Eager. Bloody Affray on the Stanislaus River. A desperate and bloody fight occurred near Central Ferry, on the Stanislaus river. last Wednesday morning, August 4th. A party of five Americans had been at work on a bar, and running a large wheel for mining purposes. Two Frevchmen, working some four or five hundred yards below, had built a dam across the river, which backed the water up so as to stop the wheel. This caused a remonstrance on the part of the Americans, and one of them proceeded to tear away the dam. The Frenchmen then run to their eabin which was near by. seized their double-barrelled shot guns, and fired upon the other party, who were unarmed. Leonard Shoecob was killed instantly, Abraw Delay was mortally wounded, Geo. Crooks was shot through both thighs, and another man was slightly wounded in the side. After the shooting, the Frenchmen took their guns, pistols and amunition, and started across the river, in the direction of Stockton. Asthe attacked party were without arms, and three of the wounded men required assistance, they eould not of course follow. The affair took place about 8 o'clock a. M. After the men were shot, a party of miners from Peoria, headed by Jacob Pike, started in pursuit of the fugitives, They were pursued to Short Crop Bar, Tuolumne county, and from thence up to Chapparal mountain, where the Frenebmen turned and fired on their pursuers. Pike was instantly killed, and Charles McKenney mortally wounded. The Frenchmen then continued their flight. The alarm was spread in every direction, and parties started from Columbia and Sonoré in pursuit of the fugitives, and were promptly on their trail, and it is said they eannot escape. They had some twenty Chinamen employed on their work, who became much alarmed, as great excitement prevailed. Wituprawn.—Mr. John R. Ridge, the late able editor of the Marysville Zcpress, has withdrawn from the editorial charge of that paper. The controlling proprietors of the paper, it seems, disagree with him as to what co.stitutes Democratic principles, which is the oecasion of his withdrawal. In his valedictory, Mr. Ridge says: I cannot in conscience support the platform issued by the so-called Administration State Convention, It embodies, iu my opinion, the embryo of a principle which ueeds only growth and matnrity to expand into monarchy. Its first true manifestation would be a fearful ceutralization of power in the hands of the Federal Government, and its ultimate result the complete overthrow of free institutions, I think Iam right, the proprietors of this paper think ITamwrong. Be that as it may, I have fouuded myself upon the great doctrine of popular sovercignuty, as it is coustrued by the Giaut of the) West, Stephen A, Douglas, aud I will stand by itin peace orin war, It may make but little difference with the great seaof political opinion which boils aud foams around me, whether 1 blow my feeble breath upon it, by the side of the lightning-winged and thunder speaking storm, or whether I withdrawit, but as the smallest pebble that is cast into the ocean's depths stirs, though it be but with a ripple, its rolling waves from shore to shore, so 18 each single man’s opinion of more or less moment in the great affairs of society and government, and mine IL will vot surreuder to the beck of power, though it should be throned in adamant. ee Joun Currey.—The Times and Call, the two most popular papers of San Francisco, favor the election of Mr. Currey to the Supreme Bench. A correspoudent of the Zimes, thus speaks of him: John Currey, of Benicia, is, upon the whole, & most unexceptionable candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court. He is aman over forty years of age, why» has been engaged iu the practice of his profession more extensively thau any other lawyer in his District for the past six years; and during all that period, we believe, he has enjoyed the coutideuce and respect of the Courts, the profession, aud the community iu which he had been industriously following his profession, When the UaitedSiates District Court was first’ esiablished here, John Currey, of Beaicia, was the most prominent caudidate before the Presideat for the appointment of Judge of that Court, excepting only Judge Hoffman, the present incumbent. He has since rejoiced that he was not appointed; for he has entire confidence in Judge Hoffinan; whilst by continuing in his profession he has grown rich, whereas the salary of the United States District Judgeship would hardly have supported bis family. John Currey, of Benicia, is s man of family, 8 man of large property, a man of fine rep utation, of irreproachable integrity, of sound legal experience and ability, of firm and impartial mind, and of pure and unsullied private character. Deatus IN Saasta.—A telegram from Shasta, dated Aug. 5th, to the Sacramento Mercury, says: Jobn Owen, a much respected citizen of Shasta, and carpenter by trade, fell from the bridge in course of construction across the Sacramento, at the mouth of Spring creek, and was instantly killed, yesterday afternoon. Deceased fell more than sixty feet upon the rocks, and his mangled body bounded into the river about tweny feet below. His remains were recovered to-day. He leaves a wife and two children. A man named

Thomas Cole was murderd on Townsend’s flat, last night. He was sleeping outside of his cabin. The murderer is not kuowa a A Bisnor’s Oprivion.—Bishop Scott, of the . Methodist Church, writing froia Esquimalt says: I found the people at Bellingham Bay and at Victoria in greatand painful suspense in regard to the future, but the prevailing feeling is that of discouragement, Many have spent all their funds hare nothing to do, and know not how they are either to live here or to get away, So it is also, Iam told, up Fraser river. Jf the trail can be cut through, if the water fall sufficiently extensive, if and f— itis all if. Iam not, you know,a miner, and my opinion is not worth much; but, at any rate, partial; and my opinion is, that this Fraser river excitement will prove to be the greatest humbug of the age, and that many people will suffer even to the last extremity. Tae ADMINISTRATION AND THE DeMocracy.— Instead of receiving a cordial support, no Administration has ever had to withstand so many assaults from an opposition House as the present Demccratic Administration bas had to withstand from a Democratic House ; and it is a remarkable fact that every assault that has been made upon the Administration, though seconded, of course, by the opposition, has been instigated, directed, and stimulated by Democratic members, We believe it isa fact that no meas ure of the Democratic party or Administration has passed the present Congress by a mojority of Democratic votes: but that every measure that has become a law has become so by the liberality of members belonging to one branch the other of the opposition.— Washington ion. ASSESSMENT OF CALAVERAS.—The Assessor of this county has assessed the value of property, and it amounts to $2,400,000.

Resolved, That the right of the people to form and regulate their political institutions in t own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States, as guaranteed to Kansas and Nebraska, by their organic law, belongs alike to the people of all other Territories of the United States. 3. Resolved, That while we adhere to the fundamental Democratic principles embraced in the Cincinnati Fatform of 1856, we especially renew and re-affirm that principle contained iu the resolution known as ‘the Popular Sovereignty Resolution,” declaring the true iutent and meaning of that resolution to be, that the people of a State or Territory are invested with the right of ratifying or re jecting at the ballot bux any Constitution that may be AT TEMPERANCE HALL, NEVADA, Rour Nights Only: POTTER’S ers of goveroment are] DRAMATIC COMPANY Will present to the Ladies and Gentlem lace and vicinity a 7 Sita STERLING PLAY AND FARCE Fach night, togethe: with NEW SONGS and DANCRE And trust they will merit and receive a libera, share “ public patronage, A the compan sent vy lowing persons. all of whom have held Positions in the best Theaters in the United States: The pepular Tragedian, J.H.WARWICR! The Versatile Tragic Actress, MISS H. CARPENTER! framed for their government; and a!l attempts by the . Mesdames SOYER & ELLINGSWORTH Administration and Congress to coerce and bribe the people into the adoption of a particular Constitution, not thus ratified by them, are subversive of the principles of pure Democracy, and destructive of the equality of the States under the Constitution. 4. Resolved, That the recent attempts of the Executive and Congress to force upon the people of Kausas a Constitution which they have rejected at a legal election, is in violation of the principles of the party whieh placed them in power, derogatory to the positions they occupy, and destructive of our form of government. Resolved, That we regard with detestation the passage by Congress. at its last session, of the bill known as the ‘‘English Bill.’’ and leok upon itas an attempt to bribe a free people inte the indorsoment of an odious Constitution; as calculated to create sectional feelings, and cause sectional jealousies ; as a violation of the Federal compact; a breach of the Compromises of the Constitution, and a blow at the equality of the States, in that it propeses to make large donations of land, and admit Kanras into the Unionas a State without reference to her population, if she adopts the Lecompton Constitution, which establishes -lavery, while it refuses her people admission until they obtain a population of ninety or one hundred and twenty thousand if they prefer any other than the Lecompton Constitution. . 6. Rssolved, That we heartily indorse the action of those members of Congress who sustained ‘‘the Crittenden-Montgomery Bill,’’ and who opposed the English Bill at the last session of that body. 7. Resolved, That it is the right of the people of the States to regulate, in their own way, their political affairs; that Federal office-holders are servants of the people, and the constant interference by those servants with the primary affairs of party, whether by menaces of dismissal from office, by fereed levies, or by the distribution of promixes and moneys at the polls and elsewhere, is incompati ble with the spirit of our Censtitutjons. State and Federal; subversive of popularliberty. and calculated to destroy the sovereignty of the States and ceatralize power at the Federal Capital. 8. Resolvel, That the immediate action of Congress in securing the construction of a Railroa’ to the Pacific is a recognized feature in our party policy, indispensable to our safety in warand prosperity in peace, and we call upon the Administration to redeem its pledges, and devote its energies to the consummation of this great work. 9. Resolved, That we regard with favor the bill before Congress at its past session, known as the ‘Homestead Bill,’’ which proposes to donate to each actual settler up pon the public lands of the United States one hundred and sixty ac.es, and earnestly recommend the passage of the same. 10. Resolved, That relying implicitly upon the soundness and integrity of the principles above set forth, and upon the justice and intelligence of the masses we present . this platform to the people of the State, and earnestly invoke the active support of allin its vindication and success, cordially inviting to a full and equal communion all those of whatever creed who recognize the justice of our caure in the doctrines we profess, and who desire to participate in their triumph. In the Lecompton Convention the following resolutions were adopted by a vote of 287 ayes to 2 noes: Resolved, That the Democracy of California maintain with untailing faith their attachment to the wise, just and liberal principles announced in the Cincinnati Platform, and, among others, they most cordially approve and will most faithfully sustain the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty and its inseparable guarantee, non intervention of the Federal Government with the domestic institutions of a State or Territory, Kesclved, That the Act of Congress, known as the English Compromise Bill, having referred the whole subject of the admixsion of Kansas tothe decision of the people thereof, wedo, without regard to former differences of opinion, accept and abide by that reference, and cannot but deem any attempt to revive the agitation of that subject in national politics, as a violation of the spirit and in. tent of the Kansas-Nebraska law, and dangerous to the peace and integrity of the Union. Resolved, That we have undiminished confidence in the wisdom, patrietism and Democracy of the Chief Magistrate of the Un'ted States, and pledge to him and to his Administration the earnest support of the people of California in maintaining the honor and integrity of the Union, both at home and abroad. Resolved, That we deem the passage of the Pacific Railroad Bills as of vital importance, net only to the interests of California, but to those of the Union at large; and that while we deeply regret the postponement of that measure and the unfortunate causes which led to it, we congratulate our people upon the establishment of « complete system of overlane mail lines upen all the main Northern. Central and Southern routes to the lacific coast. Resolved, That American ships at sea, under the American flag. iu time of peace, are subject to the jurisdiction . ef the United States, and to that of no other power on earth, whether for search, visitation, or any other purpose whatever; and we rejoice in the promp itude, energy and success, with which this great principle bas just been maintained by a Democratic Administration. Resolved, That the present Democratic Administration of this State is entitled to and receives our cordial approval. Resolved, That we cordially invite the co-operation of all national men, without regard to former politica) associations, to unite with usin the present and prospective struggles against sectionalism and iis attendant evils.

Convention, by a delegate from Sutter, were adopted by a vote of 202 ayes to 65 noes: Resolved, That we recognize the right of the people of each State and Territory, when so desired by them, to vote upon the adoption or rejection of their fundamental law; but we hold that it belongs not to the Congress of the United States, “but to the people themselves, speaking through their own represe tatives, to say whether they do or do not desire to exercise such right. Resolved, That, in the opinion of this Convention, the formation of and adherence to the so-called Topeka Constitution, by the Abolition party of Kansas, was, in the language of Stephen A, Douglas, ‘‘an act of rebellion, which ought to have been put down by force.’’ Resolved, That it is the will of those who adhere to the Government, and not the will of those who arra’ themselves in rebellion against the Government, that should be looked toand carried out, both in the formation of State Constitutions and in the admission of States in the Union.
