States—a list of which, as allowed by the Dental Colbeen resolved upon by thousands of Repub: . Hieans, and which will alone secure a Union triumph in California, We have, in short, resolved to hoist the name of John Conness, We have . } carefully reflected upon the propriety of . this policy, and while we bave been search. ing for reasons to avoid the necessity, the necessity has only been the more strongly . impressed upon our minds. Asa matter of . eourse, we have had the best means of ob. taining information as to the strength of . our party in this contest, aud we regret to . confess that our prospects of success, so far as tle gubernatorial candidate is concerned are not flattering. The people at this time require a firm aod experienced Executive officer—a man of nerve, quick . to resolve and as ready to execute, From the beset information we have received, no . doubt is left in our minds that the people . everywhere look to John Conness as the ~~ . man whe is best suited for the times, and . he, therefore, will receive our earnest sup. port from this hour until the day of election. Whatever may be said by partizans . who are crazy after office, and to whom the . peace of the country is a matter of small/er consideration than the gratification of their last for the spoils, we are conecious . before Heaven that we are only pursuing . the path of duty, and are acting exactly in accordance with the wishes of a vast majority of the Republicans io this State. } Done In THE Nama or Liperty.—A case, . Says the Shasta Herald, bas just come to our knowledge which confirms our previ, ously expressed statements that anarchy j} and violence had long since robbed the . people of Secessia of every vestige of lib. erty, aod crashed them under the heel of a . despotism as absolute and unrelenting as . that which binds Russia’s millions. A. J. . Thompson, an old resident of this and ad. joining counties, left a few months since to visit his brother, who had settled in Texas, . . It appears from a letter to his wife just re . ceived, that a short time after his arrival he was waited upon by a mob, forthwith re lieved of w considerable amount of money, . . otherwise maltreated, and barely escaped . banging through the intercession of his brother. Notbiog transpires in what he . . wrote to show the animus of this wanton outrage, and leaves us to infer that he bad . either expressed Union sentiments, or that . being a Northern mau this gang of desper. adoes denounced him for an Abolition spy . for the purpose of obtaining the money . which he was koown to be possessed of, He . was a;Democrat of the ultra Southern school . . when he left, God only knows what he will . . return, but we venture the assertion tbat all the apostles of Republicanism could never . bave shaken bie firm political faith half so effectually as did this little trip to Texas, . He is now in a free State awaiting the funds his wife yesterday remitted him with which . to return. . } ! Correk IN Mariposa Counry.— Sidney Manning, a well known resident of Stock. . ton, has just returned from Coulterville, . The subject is a difficult one, and may well perplex the wisest finanncier. It has two aspects, one for the relief of the government, the other for the reliefof the people. The project of the Merchants’ Exchange meeting appears to look only to the relief of tbe people, and is open to very grave objections. It puts a debt on the shoulders ot the new government of some $225,000,000. If the government can sell the crop, all may go well, but if the blockade be not raised this season, the government has incurred an immense debt without any equivalent, or any means to pay it. To. hold the cotton and tobacco over to another season, it is worth little or nothing; for, by that time another crop comes into market and creates such’ an over supply that neither the old crop nor the new ove will bring any prices. The incoming cotton crop of thi» year may be set down at 4,000,000 bales ; of next year at 4,000,000. 8,000,000 bales on the market the same season will run the price down to nothing. The double crop will be worth little or no more than a single one, If the blockade be raised toward the end of the season the government has the crop to sell, and muet ship it to market. No sensible man expects that gold can be got in any large amount from Europe io return, Awattempt to draw from Europe $225,000,000 of gold and silver, or half that amount, would, if successful, overthrow the whole financial system of Europe, and convulse the civilized world to the centre. The attempt, however, could not succeed. It would be a financial impossibility. The proceeds of the crop must come back, therefore, toa great extent, in supplies for the country. Now, how is this to be practically done? The government must employ agents to sell the crop. It must employ some eort of agencies to turn the proceeds into supplies, to buy the goods and fabrics wanted by the country. This involves the buying by the government, through agents, of so many yards of woolens, and eo tap bales of domestic, and so many bolts of calicoes, and muslins, and lawns, laces, silke, thread, stockings, hats, shoes, hose, tape, needles, pins, thimbles, &c., &ec., without number, And then agents at home to sell out these goods to our retail mercbants, or . the proceeds will stand in banking bouses in Kurupe to the credit of the government. It isa fand of exchange to draw on, and sell to our importing merchants, to enable them to buy and pay for goods. In either mode it involves the government in an inmmenee trade in goods, or an immense banking business, Such are some of the practical difficulties in the way.
