HepuMlrnn State Convention.
By official announcement, put forth by the
Black Republican State Committee, an*i
published iu some of the down riser papers,
we notice that a Black Republican State
Convention has been called to meet at Sac*
rameuto on the J7th August next. The late
Republican ratification meeting in San
Francisco has apparently given great en
couragement to the few sectional fanatics in
California, and they must needs have a state
Convention, to nominate Presidential luJco*
tors, Members of Congress, ic., &c. W«
have been unable to see the necessity «r the
policy of organizing a Republican party in
California, unless it is done Cor tie purpose
of compelling California to say that other
States shall not be the architects their
own institutions. Why should California
interfere with tke doomestic affairs or instit
utions of other States ? It is but a short
time since California, without let or hin
drance from other States, formed and adop
ted her present constitution, and was ad
mitted into the Union, that bright galaxy
of sovereign American States; Sectional
fanaticism now seeks to array the youngest
member of the bright confederacy in sec
tional opposiou to a portion of’her elder sis
ters. Other States did not interfere with
the formation of our institutions, and we
should But now interfere with the institu
tions of others. The liberty that we have
enjoyed as a sovereign State, we should not
now deny to other States. Neither do we
deem probable, or possible, that California
will be led to embrace the sectional doctrines
of the Republican party.
The strength ol the RcpaUicnn party ins
not bcctv tested in. California;; bub by. the
best datufroiu which, we have to judge, the
parly will not be able to muster many tho»-
sand robes iu California next November.
If we adopt the last Legislature as a criteri
on by which, to judge of the numerical
strength of the Republican party, it is in
deed a small one. And why should not the
complexion.of the Legislature reflect that of
the State upon this subject ? We are dis
posed to think that it does, and that, too,
with great generosity towards the Black
Republican party, because the Legislature
was composed of men elected by a combina
tion of all the isms against democracy,
whereas, if the contest had been between
Democracy and Republicans m, the Legis
lative halls of our State would not have been
disgraced by the presence of a Black Repub
lican. But taking the lust Assembly as the
criterion, and the Banks resolution as a test
vote, and there is but about one-eighth of
the voters of the State who are iu favor of
the Black Republican institution. Accord
to this criterion, sectional fanatics might
pan out of the one hundred thousand voters
iu.California, about twelve thousand Black
B*pud>)icans! But wo have another criteri
on by which to jndge of the numerical
strength of the party. Heretofore there has
been but one avowed Republican Organ in
the State, and that organ failed not a great
while sines; There were not Black Repub
licans enough in the State to sustain a single
newspaper ! Since the semination of Free
mont by the Black Republicans, the Mari
posa claim has given an impetus to theparty
and another organ has risen upon tho ruins
of the old one, which believes that Black
Republicanism will pay!
Great parade is also made of the influen
tial names of wealthy persons who favor the
movement in San Francisco. It is expected
that these influential and wealthy men will
carry great weight with them, and induce
sufficient numbers to join the Black Repub
licans to carry the State for that sectional
rjarty. However severe the reflection may
be it i* boldly proclaimed and expected by
the Black Republicans that the wealthy and
influential namea, paraded forth to the pub
lic as participants iu their ratification meet
ing, will enable them,to carry the State for
Fremont. And this, of the intelligent free
men of America!’ Verily, the Mariposa
grant, ami the “wealthy and' influential ’
names of San Francisco, have given to the
party of sectional fanatics an undue quan
tity of impudence, if they suppose the free
and intelligent miners of California, can be
purchased to oast their votes for a particular
candidate. Thera is however, no longer a
doubt that the parly of Black Republican
fanatics in California, ar e to put forth all
their energy to carry the State. They may
succeed in purchasing the venal press of the
State, and secure the services of all the cor
rupt an I unscruplous poetical tricksters,
and ballot-box stuffars. No.no! gentlemen
Republicans, the miners of California will
not vole thamsclvea serfs of Mariposa, un
der the plea of extending freedom to the
colered race of other states, over which they
can legitimately have Decontrol.

Wound not dangerous
As to rumor yesterday,, it appears that |
after the arrival, of the Sierra Nevada, the
United .States dispatched a message to the
Nu.vy Yard, and immediately afterwards
every gun on the Warren and Decatur were
prepared for action.
Dr. Randall had some business transac
tions, some nine months since, with Joseph
Hetbcrington, by which the former became
indebted to tire Irter between S2CMT»O and
<*do.ooo, which was to be paid shortly after
wards. At the time specified, Dr. Randall
was unaVde to meet the liabilities; several
alternations took place between the parties
relative to it, at one of which Metherington
spat in Randall's free.
Dr Randall had bee* at his ranch at San
Quentin m few weeks, a*d had just returned
to the St. Nicholas Hotel- was reading a
letter which had been left for him, when
Metherington came in—caught him by the
beard ruthlessly. Randall drew his pistol
and fired, without effect. Metherington then
fired also. Randall fired again—then Meth
erington fired, striking Randall in the right
temple, entering the brain, where it is
lo ged. Me was immediately arrested by
police, who were overpowered by members of
Vigilance Committee and prisoner taken to
Comaiittee Room. Dr. RaadulL is no worse
than when he was shot.
Edward Bulger who was shipped on hark
Yankee, returned on her amt.was arrested
immediately. It is said, he wauls to go the
Eastern States.
King Kamehamba was married on the 19th
June, to Miss Emma Sooke. iVJUO persons

Later. —By the Sierra Nevada, the Com
mandant of the pout of San Srancisco re
ceived orders from the Secretary of the Na
vy at Washington to place the defences oft
the harbor in the best condition possible, for
the emergency of a wvir with a foreign pow
er, ,‘*pposed to be England p. accordingly
the sloops of war John Adams, Decatur, and
Warren are predated for action, and the
harbor fortifications are being strengthened,
and the greatest activity prevails.
Mr. Jbnx Kel.lt, the great Califor
nia favorite will give a grand Vocal and In
strumental musical entertainment at the
Empire Irotel in Oroville, on Sunday eve
ning, July iTtb. The name of John Ivirfly is
enough to draw a crowded house in any
town in California where he is known, and
more particularly at this time when he has
been slrlppod'of his littlo all—his home —by
the late fire iu Ulaoerville. His entertain
ments are of the most amusing kind, and he
is acknowledged to.be the most accomplished,
performer on the violin that has ever ap
peared in California. We Jpdge, from what
the papers say of his performances at other j
places, that he is meeting with unbounded
success. Ho has hosts of friends who ad--|
mire his peculiar aud high musical talents, j
Metropolitan Theatre. —At this place
of amusement on last Thursday night, there
was a fair house, and if we are to judge of
the performance by the manner in which it
was received by the audience, we should sny
that they were of a very high order. A
young gentleman of Oreville, who favorably
and widely known, made his debut. At the
fall of. tho curtain the debutant was cal'ed
out. A very attractive bill is offered for
Saturday nigM. The managers having en
gaged the Infant Trodigy, Paganini.
Packing to the Mountains. —From our
friend Martin, who has a public house on the
trail leading from Pidwell to American Val
ley, we learn that an immense quantity of
goods is being transported to the above lo
cality and on the various branches of Fea
thcr River. Mr. Piobcrt Love has 170 pack
mules constantly employed in taking goods
to his three stores in the vicinity of• the
Junction and Rich Bar. There are several
packers and traders passing over this route
who are doing a very extensive and prospers
qus business, among whom are Holliday, K.
Irvin, P. 0 derail, Long, and many other
whose names wo Jo not recollect. For ener
gy aud perseverance and real California
mountain, rough and tumble life, they have
no superiors. They well deserve their for
tunes which they are fast accumulating ~
They, often have to breast the storms of rain
and snow that would make those of less
nerve quail before it. They are often caught
in the seve.est snow storms, and are com
pelled to break their path through it at the
rale of one or two miles a day. It falls fre
quently to a depth of ten feet or more.
When they wade cut and meet their com
rads after a few Jays of this kind of fun,
they manage to liven citings up around them
—ahera is no chance for sleeping ; —they
make the woods howl

will make separate nominations for county

his delivery was a failure, it was from want

An actor, who is one indeed, possesses cx
quisitivfly sensitive and impressible nerve? ,

or the other may kick the beam. Practice

Caftitre ok a Griri.y Bear.—A large
and ferocious grizzly bear was- captured on
Wednesday of last week, near Lassen’s
butte.-. The bear is said to haw# committed
many depredations in that viciaity, and to
have caused much consternation among the
people who have passed his dominions,—
Skeletons of mules and cattle were found at
the entrance to his cave, which had ap
parently been dragged a distance of two
miles.— Lem. State Journal.
