The Nemvcratic party of the State of California, in Convention assembled, make and publish as their I’latform and Resolutions ; 1. Resolved. That all just powers of government are derived trom the people; that this principle is recognized . as fuacamental by all American Constitutions and b, the Lemocratic party. 2. Kesolvel, That the right of the people to form and reyulate their political institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United states. ax guaranteed to Kansas and Nebraska, by their orgunic law, be longs alike to the people of all other Territories of the Unt. ted States. 3. Resolved, That while we adhere to the fundamental Democratic principles embraced in the Cincinnati . latform of 1856, we especially renew and re affirm that principfe contained ia the re-olution known as “the Popular Suvereignty Reslution,”’ declaring the true inten’ and mean. . ing of that resolution to be. that the people of a State or . Tercitory are invested with the right of ratifying or re jecting at the ballot bux any Constitution that may be framed for their gevernment; and al attempts by the) Administration and Congress to coerce and bribe the peo. ple 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 Mates under the Constitution, 4. Rewleed, That the -ecent aicempts of the Fxecutive and Coxyresa to force upon the people of Kau+as a Constitution which they have rejected at a legal election. ix 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, 5. Resolved, That weegard with Cetestation the pas sage by Congress. at its last xexsion. of the bill known as the ‘Engtis}) Pill.’ and look upon it as an attempt to bribe a free people inte the indorsoment of an odious Con stitution; as calculated toe eate sectional feelings, and cau ec sectional jealousies ; as a violation of the Federal . compact; a breach of the Compromixes of the Constitution, and a blow at the equality of the state<, in that it proposex to make la ge donations of land, and admit Kansas into the Union as a State without reference to her population. if she adopts the Lecompton Conatitutiag, which establishes lavery, while it refuses her people admis-ion until they obtain a population of ninety or one hundred and twenty thou-and if they prefer any other than the Lecompton Constitution, 6. Rssolvel, That we heartily indorse the action of those members of Congress who sustained ‘the Crittenden-Montgomery Bill,’ and who opposed the Engli-h Biil at the last ses<ion of that bedy. 7. Reolced, That it ia the right of the people of the State: to regulate, in their owa way. their political affairs; that Federal office-holders are servants of the people, and the constant interferenee by thoxe servants with the primary affairs of party, whether by menaces of di~mi«xal from office. by ferced levies. or by the distribution of prom. je: and moneys at the polls and elsewhere. is incompati ble with the spirit of our Censtitutjons, State and Federal; subversive of popular liberty. and calculated to destroy the sovereignty of the States and ceutralize power at tie Federal Capital. . 8. Resclvel. 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 war and 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. KResoleed, That we regard with favor the bill before Congress at its past cession, known as the ‘Home-tead Bill.’ which prope-es 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 saine. me 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 pre-ent . this platform te the people of the “tate, and earnestly in. voke the active sur port of allin itx vindication and success, cordially inviting to a full and equal communion all) those of whatever creed who reengnize the justice of our cause in the doctrines we profess, and who desire to participete in their triumph. . of four thousand four hundred dollars and sixty-six cents, debt . eight miles from the Town of Nevada. containing three EL a ob SALE.—By virtue of an Execution to me directed, issued from the Hon.

Tn short, she i# nota companion to him, so the brillant novelist and actor reparates on the ground of ‘incompatibility’ from her whom he vowed before God to love and to cherish, and from henceforth their lives have separate ends, The oldest child. a youth of 21, has chosen to follow the fortunes of his mother, while the daughters remain with their father. To make the affair still more notorious, a young lady, Mre Dickens’ sister, has undertaken to keep house for Mr. Dickens and his daughters, The whole affair ix very repugnant to our ideas of matrimonial constancy. and has not enlarged the circle of Mr. Dickeu’s admirers,”” Tue Vacuxa.—The vacuna, from whose wool the California red hat ie felted, is a species of sheep found only in Peru, Its skin is exactly like that of an erdinary fleecy sheep. save that its eolor varies from light and dark red tos .

Ax Eprtor’s Wanrpropg.—A San Francieco . editor, in attendance at the Fair at. Marysville, . had his coat stolen In the eoat pockets were . two handkerchiefs, a bunch of cigars and two pairs of eocks. [From the Marysville Democrat.) The Mudiills. We claim that the term Mudsill, applied by the Lecompton upstart, Hammond, to the laboring classes, was an insult to the working white men of the South, who coustitute a very large portion of the community, as well as the luboring men of the North, It was designed, however, more particularly asa slur at Northern men. Now this fellow Hammond, who speks the true Lecompton spirit, as it existed in the Senate, instead of using this language, as bas been alledged, in the heat of the moment and without due reflection, had given utterance fore, and with the utmost deliberation, to similar insults to the free white men of the North. As long ago as 1850, he had declared in a public speech that it was to be regretted that labor could so well protect itself in the free States. In the South it was different, for there labor was entirely subservient, as it ought to be, to the upper classes, He only expressed his true feelings a litthe more fully when he said to na tiunal and patriotic Northern men in the Senate in bis remarks in favor of forcing the Lecompton Constitution on the people of Kansas: * Your slaves are White, af your own race; you are brothers o& one blood.”’ It must not be supposed that Mr. Hammond lacks backers iu his high down aristocratic notions. Hear whatan inutuential paper in the South said, in the campaign of 1856: “Slavery is the natural and moral condition of the laboring man—white or black, The great evil of the Northern free society is, that it is burdened with a servile class of mechanics and la. borers, unfit fur sell-goverumentaud yet clothed with aliributes wud powers of ettizens. Muster aud slave is urelation tu sociely as uvcessary ar that of parent: and child; and the Nurtheru States . will yet have to introduce it. The theory ot free governinent is a delusion,” Another paper said: “We have got to hating everything with the prelix free, trom free negroes down, and up through the whole catulogue—free tarme, free labor, free will, free thinking, free children aud tree schools—all belunging to the same damnable isms, But the worst of all these abominations is the modera system of free schools. The New England system of free echools has been the curse and prolitic source of all the intidelities and treasous that bave turned her cities into Sodoms and Gomorralhs, and her lands inte the common nestling places of howling bedlamites, We abominvate the #ystem because the schools are free” WaTuER ProGnostications.— Some of the newspapers are iy acne that the coming winter season wi @n unusually wet one, basing their calculations on the tact that several showers of rain have alrrady occurred. To show the folly of a calculation so based, the San Joaquin Republican calls attention to the fact that in June and September of 1850, it rained so much that the miners could not work, Lut the winter of 1850—51, was the dryest ever experienced in California since the days of “forty-nine,” MACKEREL aND SMELT Fispery at MoxTerey. —The season for this fishery has now opened in Monterey Bay, For the last week, says the Santa Cruz Sentinel, mackerel and smelt have been taken in large quantities near Monterey, ard a good schooner with nets and curing materials, could salt down any quantities desired for the California markets, No place offers such advantages for the mackerel aud herring fisheries as the beach of Monterey. Becomtne Civinizen.—The S. F. Times says: i*An Indian boy, living on the ranch of Mr. Hutchinson, beyond the Mission, known as Indian Bill, who bears the reputation of being an orderly and intelligent boy, beeame so excited during a political discussion at Frank’s bar room, near the Mission, with a milkman named Page, on Thursday night, that he wound up the same with the use of a kuife, inflicting serious wounds. He is under arrest,’”’ Scicipr.~— John Cooper, a young man 27 years of age, formerly from Michigan, was found dead on Dry creek, near Long Bar, on Monday, Aug. 23d. He was found in a sitting posture against atree, with a pistol fn his hand, and a bullet hole from the back part of his mouth through his head. He had been mining for a week or two, and mo clue was obtained as to the cause of his rash act. TaxaBLe Property IN Tenama,—The total amount of taxable praperty in Tehama county, retnrned by the Assessor, for the year 1858, foots up $1,809,205, whieh with the supplemenfal askessment now being made. it is thought, will reach the sum of $2,000,000, Lust year, the total property of the county amounted to $1,741,331, Atremprep Parricing.—On Wednesday last, William Rains, whilst riding with his father, Gallant Rains, from Petaluma to their ranch, got intu an altercation, the old man ealling his Aud still another one said: “Free society! we sicken at the name. What . is it, but a conglomeration of greasy mechanies, filthy operatives, small fisted tarmers, and moon struck theorists? All the Northern, and especially the New England States are devoid of society fitted for well bred gentlemen. The prevailing . class one meets with is mechanics struggling tu be genteel, and small farmers who do their own drudgery, aud yet who are hardly fit for asso ciation with a Southern gentleman’s body servant.” We think that. after reading the foregoing, no one can doubt. what was intended by Mr, Hammond in the term *Mudsill’? nor how those persous stand whe undertake to defend . bom for saying it. It was a deliberate insult to the working classes, and must be equally resented by all men who respect the dignity of labor, whether they Jivein the South or the North, the East or the West. It is an insult to the very founders of our Republic. who based its pillars upon the broad and deep foundation of equal rights and the unquestioued sovereignty of the American people. Jeunes Dteias i Groreta,— An exchange says that Mr, Lill, a member of Congress from Georgia, in a epeech in the House a short time . xinee, paid the following tribute to the statemanship, talents and political integrity of Judge Douglas: Certainly it will not be expected of me that I sball stand upon this floor a paneyyriet of the distinguished Senator from Tlinois ; bat TI am apt to toink that he whom T have so often and so recently in my own State, and in my own district, extrolled asa * Saul in Israel. towering ahove the political hosts,’’ is the same today that he was 1854, Men—-and I thank God . that it is eo—are not chameleons; certainly great men are not so—and Iclassin that eate. gory the distinguished statesman from Blinois, . because his own party stamped him with that seal, and they cannot take it away from him,— Me is intellectually to day as he has been heretofore, worthy of the sobriquet which has heen applied to him, * The Little Giant.’? Is he less . honest now than be was in 1854? Why showid . it he said eo? Ts any man more honest, more sincere than he was in 1854? And rhis explains the question which IT put to the distinguished gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Smith) the other day : does the fact that a gentleman who disapproved of the legislation of 1854, and now ap proves the admissiey of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, make him a better Dem. ners. than tie who devoted life, soul and every . encigy he possessed to the adoption of that} measure? .
