Sup t OEOVILLE, SATURDAY MOENING-, APRIL ISG-4. The Union state Convention. which met at Sacramento. March I4th. closed Us session on the 25th. The Convention was harmonious, and unanimously in favor of President Lincoln's re election. The following gentlemen were chosen as Delegates to the National Conven tion, at Baltimore, June Tib : Delegates at lame—Thompson Campbell, of San Francisco; Rev. M. C. Briggs, of Sacramento; John Bidwell, of Butte county; Pbineas Banning, of Los Angeles. District Delegates—Nathan Coombs, of Napa ; Robt. Gardiner, of Yolo; Wm. Ritter, of Sacramento; O. H. Bradbury, of Tuolumne ; James Otis, of San Francisco, and Wm. S. McMnrtry, of Santa Clara. Al ternate Delegates at large—Mahoney, Randall. Brannan and Neville; District alternates— Culver, JuurJan, Huntington, Bjncrson, Sny dcr ami Thompson. The Committee on Resolutions reported the following, which were unanimously adopted ; Whereas, The perils and distresses of civil war continue in this republic: and. whereas, our National Government is still assailed asd sought to be overthrown by rebels in arms and by traitors advocating peace at the sacrifice of the unity, dignity and power of our nation ; and. w hereas, throughout this momentous and unparalleled struggle for National existence, it is the imperative duty of every citizen to unre servedly and earnestly sustain tbe National Administration in tbe execution of all measures adopted by tbe Government for the suppression of this unprecedented and iniquitous rebellion, and the restoration of the flag of our country; therefore, Kesolvtil. That the Union party of California reaffirms its devotion to the Union and its de termination to support and sustain the National Administration in all its efforts to suppress this infamous rebellion, w-aged against our National existence, as long as a rebel is found in armed hostility to the laws and constitutional author ities of the country, or a Copperhead is loutd to give him aid and comfort." liesolvcil, That this Convention, representing the Union parly ot the Stale of California, indorses the Administration of President Lin coln from the first hour of its existence to the present time ; embracing a period in the history of our country more eventful and fraught with more danger to the cause of constitutional lib erty than any like period in the history of the worid ; that we are unanimously in favor of his renomination to the Presidency, believing it will contribute to the speedy triumph of our arms, the establishment of a permanent peace through victory, and will be a merited indorse meiit of a wise statesman and earnest patriot, who has t amed and possesses the love and confidence of the American people. We there fore instruct our delegates to the National Convention to vote fur and use all honorable means to secure his renomination. AVso/rt>/. I hat we are opposed (o human slavery, as an institution condemned of God and abhorrent to humanity, a stain upon the nation's honor, and a clog to its material progress; that, as the rebels, by their own act, have brought destruction on this infernal sys lent, we regard it as a just punishment A r their crime against their Government anil tbe civil izati'Ui of the ago, and rejoice that such good results as its eradication will issue from our nation's Itibulutioiis. AVo>/c ( J. 1 fiat we take a ju-t pride in the California \ olutilecrs. who have left the peace ful pursuits of life to go forth and battle for the maintenance of the Hag of tho Republic against the polluting hands of traitors; they have proven their patriotism by their acts, and have earned the gratitude and commendation of the loyal citizens of their State. These brave soldiers of the Union should be alluwid to exercise all the privileges and suffrages of freemen, and the Legislature should, tty suita ble enactments, secure them in that right. Kesi'lced. That we indorse the honorable John Conness. our I nion Senator in Congress, and believe that his official nets thus far have been fraught with great good to the country and to the people of this Stale, and that in him we have a true representative and an able and patriotic statesman. A'f.vi lml. That we recognize in the honor ables William Highy. Cornelius Cole and 'l*. 1!. Shannon, our members in the Unii-o. able, faithful and patriotic Representatives. AV" lrc:l. That tbe administration of Gov, Low lias been lints lar marked with wisdom and patriotism, and meets witli the hearty approval of the loyal citizens of this State. 7fe»«red. That we regard the Pacific Rail road as one of the most important measures of the National Administration ; and the liberal donation by Congress toaid in tbe construction ol that gicat work entitles it to the thanks and supp rt ol the Ann rican people. The following resolution of respect was unanimously adopted by the Convention rising fit masse: Resolved, That in the death of the Rev. T. Starr K ing. Calif": nia lost one of her brightest ornaments and noblest citizens. He was a true patriot, an accomplished orator, a brave defender of freedom, and an earnest champion of human rights. By Ins matchless eloquence, earnest zeal and tireless exertions, he contrib uted m ire than any other man to build up and intensify the Union sentiment of this Stall. while to him is due the chief honor of the splendid contributions of California to the Sanitary Fund, which lias made its name dear to every soldier's heart, and a synonym of manifest benevolence. W e deeply mourn his loss. It cannot be repaired to the State; but the mem ry of his good deeds will live after him as long as patriotism and virtue have a lodg ment in the human heart. We tender our condolence to the bereaved family, and request the Secretary to furnish them with a copy of this resolution. During the nomination- for delegati ?. Seneca Kwer, in nominating Brigadier Get tral Bidwell. said : I nominate General John Bidwell. of Butte. [Applause.] Anything I might say about hint would bo useless, since he is known to almost every man in this Convention. He lias been identified with this country both before and since it became a State. He has been a resi dent more than twenty years, and helped to rgat tbe State No man has dme more than he to develop the resource's of Caiilornia. As to his political standing, we claim that it is as good a« the Union party can require of any man. When this rebellion broke e-nt. General Bidwell was found on the side of tho Govern ment, and has been there ever since, and no man’s Union record stands cie'arer or fairer. Some men here have seemed to trace this Union organization back a great wrays, but in Butte county we think it is only about three years old. and that tbe man that has served in it that time is as good in his standing as if he had belonged to any other party for twenty years before. General Bidwell was a member of a Presidco tial Convention about four years ago. but when he found that Convention was drifting into Secession ism, be immediately left it, came hack, ami proclaimed his determina I .ion to sustain tbe Administration in putting d >wn the rebel lion. That position he has firmly maintained ever since, and no man doubts or questions his loyalty I think bis remioation as delegate Union State Convention. fr m the State at large would have a peculiar propriety, for very few men have done so much toward bedding up the State. He came here when there were nothing bat Indians and a wilderness. For these reasons. I hope we -hall elect him by acclamation, without any ballot, and that is the wish of onr delegation. We hope that both John Bidwell and Thompson Campbell may be elected by acclamation. After his election as a delegate. General Bidwell came forward in response to calls, was introduced amid cheers, and spoke as follows : Mr President and Gentlemen of the Con vention : Yon have placed me under a weight of responsibility and of gratitude which I can not find terms suitable to acknowledge. I know of nothing which has ever transpired during my career which so elevated ray pride as your action here to-day. That one. who has walked in so humble a path, one who has done so little, could at this time be accorded so much merit, far beyond his deserts. fills me with emotions that lam unable to express. 1 return to you, therefore, gentlemen, my cordial and sincere thanks for the honor which you have done me. and will briefly state to you that to the best of my ability the sentiment which you have ex pressed here to day upon the great events of the age and nation shall be carried out faithfully and to the best of my poor ability. [Applause.| I am not the man to desert a cause in which 1 engage. Though often I may pursue the wrong path, yet when I am convinced that I am right. I continue as long as there is hope. When I saw the clouds of treason lowering in the Na tional horizon, I prepared myself, deserted the ranks of treason, and embarked in the great Union cause. [Applause.] There I intend to remaiu and labor until that glorious (lag floats triumphant throughout the length am) breadth of our whole country. [Applause.] 1 cordially approve of all that the eminent orators who preceded me have said. I cannot in such forcible language express my feelings, but I can say to you that I was one among the first men who declared in favor of Abraham Lincoln's re-election, more than a year ago, as the only man who could carry the destinies of our great country to a successlul termination. [Cheers.] He is the man for the Presidency. It has required great trials ar.d great sacrifices to pi .ce the right man in the right place, but He who holds the destinies of nations in his hands helped to place Abraham Lincoln where he could serve his country and the world. (Ap plause ] We are now beginning to find the right men for the right places. The distin guished Secretary of the Treasury is the right man in the right place. [Applaua l .] Ulysses S. Grant is the right man in the right place. [Sudden and loud cheers.] A few more shakes of the elements which compose our National strength will throw every man into the right place, separating the chaff from the grain, the sand from the gold. [Applause] Geotlemt n of the Convention, next to being an American citizen, it is my pride to be a citizen of Cali forma. 1 have seen her from her infancy; I have watched her progress; 1 have some slight conception of her great and important destiny. The United States cannot attain that eminent position as a nation to which she is entitled without California, nor can California be devel oped without being an integral part of the United Stales. [Cheers] The great railroad which is now in progress should meet the cor dial approbation and the support of every man in California. [Applause.] Without it, we, as a | eople, must remain in a slate of almost stag nation compared with what we might be if that great National highway were finished. This Administration, gentlemen, with this gigantic war upon its shoulders, has done more toward that great work than was ever accomplished before by any and all parlies in the nation. [Applause.] When we look upon this groat and beneficent act of our Government, will any man say that California could be developed Without being a part of the United States? [Applause.] 1 know wc have men among us who would be glad to see our Union rent in twain —I do not mean in this Convention; there is not one here—we may have them in this Stale, and in plenty, too; but by the next election there number will be less in proportion bv ten or twenty thousand than it was a year ago. They are already deserting the sinking ship with which they had been trying to navi gate the muddy waters of treason. Every man of ti e nation at this time has a great and im portant duty to perform, more especially every man upon the Pacific coast. Here wc should be united like a band of brothers, and if worst comes to worst, if it should be the will of Providence that we shall yet pass through such terrible crises as have shaken the fabric of our republic, then let us stand shoulder to shoulder lit the darkest hour, when we perhaps may be assailed by foreign invasion, w hen France may perhaps demand the recognition of the Mexican empire. Then let us still stand by our Govern ment. come what will, until ultimately our troubles are over, and we occupy the proudest position of any nation in the world. [Applause.] Indorsing your platform, returning my thanks to all ih -e who have spoken so favorably and so kindly of me, promising to the extent of my ability to endeavor to carry out your wishes, expressing my pride in being chosen to repre sent the. Stale of California in the renomiimtion of Abraham Lincoln. I again return to you my cordial'aud sincere thanks. [Cheers ] The Convention was also addressed at some length by Thompson Campbell and Uev. M. C. liriggs. Before adjourning, three cheers were given fur the Union party, three cheers for the next President, Abraham Lincoln, and three cheers for Gen. Grant. Ui.ckrxTixti Teeth.—The ulcerating pro cess seldom commences unless the nerves have been destroyed. A tooth, being thus deprived of its vitality, becomes a foreign body, and frequently causes severe suff ring. I‘eople are often proue to retain their loosened teeth f-r a long time, which is a great mistake. They should he extracted without delay. Those loosened teeth, upon being removed from the month, often omit a disgosting odor, showing ti e impropriety of retaining them a single day. Bci -g loose, llicy cause but little pain in the extraction. A scatician computes the augmentation of the value of real-and personal property from 1 31 to 1-'6O, to be the almost fabulous sum ol sixteen billions of dollars. Were wealth the only indication of national greatness and progress, the United States, in this respect, wvuld scarcely have d rival; hut the moral a d intellectual status of a people is the only true criterion in judging of their condition, and in this respect we certainly compare favorably with any other nation. Fora lutes more beautiful than these, says the Buffalo Express, are rarely written. The figure which il involves is exquisite; A solemn murmur in the soul Tells of the world to be. As travellers hear the billows roll Before they reach the sea. Four lines more truthful than these are rarely written: A solemn buzzing in your car. When vou retire to bed. Tells you that swelling lager beer Is dreadful for the heafl. An Act For the better Protection of the Agricultural !

The Succession English and American. Never hits the prospect of an hereditary mon archy in England l>een so perfectly, remarks tlie Public Ledger, probably, tor a thousand years, or at least since the Conqnest. There is no dispute or question aliout the succession, and the heir appar ent to the throne now has a son to succeed him- In the life and reign of George the Second, there was a grandson liorn and brought up as his soccer aor. But the Stuarts still had j owerful adherents, and the father of George the Third. Prince Fred crick, died ten years liefore his father. The English people are of course full of joy at their secure life, not that they particularly admire the Prince of Wales, his younger brother being gcnearlly prefer red as a brighter man and a lictter fellow, but because everything thatjensures a quiet stability to the Government and avoids all possibility of a dis. pute as to the succession is a great blessing to a nation which has so much wealth liable to plunder, and so much dependent on flic* credit of the Govern ment itself, and that would all melt into thin air with any protracted internal struggle. It is a strange thing that a people who can feel all this so keenly when it touches them and thei r Constitution, can so little understand the feelings of an American al»out hit Constitutional Govern ment. We elect our President every four years and the stability of our Government depends upon alj the requirements of the Constitution being exactly complied with. The succession of office with ns answerf to the hereditary succession of monarchies. Of course this portion of our Constitution comes into play much oftener than in Europe .and is there fore a more vital point with us. Vet it has estab lished sixteen distinct Presidents in the Chair, and live of them twice in succession. Queen Victoria is only the eighth of her line since a revolution. But Abraham Lincoln is the twenty-first in the succcs «ion of our line of Presidents. And when by violence the rel*els would, by force or fraud or com promise. have broken in upon onr succession,it was l»ec.iuse the stability of the whole Government of the country for all coming time depended upon a break in tho constitutional line being rendered lin possible of success, that the people rose a-* one man to put down the rebellion at any cost. We may now congratulate ourselves that each day shows the fearful retribution falling on the head* of rel«els leaves little or no doubt that our Conslilu ■ tion will.in this respect, become stronger than ever, and the fate befalling its enemies is such that few will l*e disposed to try the same course again. It is strange, we think, that a nation like the English, who hare had such hitter experiences of a disputed sucession, and pay so roundly to keep up their hereditary system, and who in a thousand years, have not had twenty successive under any constitution, should not appreciate oar strug gles to preserve our succession, which Iras already done so much for us—done it so cheaply and so well. It is strange they cannot see what the cause of the Pretender was in England, that of Jefferson Davis and the rel>els is in this country and that the dying oat of the former is not more certain as a fact of the past than that of the rebles is in the future Even now princes may marry and heirs be bom. but there is a l»eiter prospect that there will be twenty more Presidents constitutionally cho«en in America than twenty or ten more of the defendants of Victoria sitting on an English throne.

It is estimated that their mail freight w id average about 1 000 pounds per day for the whole distance each way. or equal to one ton counting one wav. If this be so, it is clear that they could afford to carry seventy five tons m»>rc for about $360 000, which is less than one pe~ cent. In all the aspects of the case in which we can view it, there seems hardly a doubt that great risks would be avoided, and a large amount saved by changing the shipment of treasure from the long and dangerous sea voyages to the more rapid and more safe transit overland. — Ca->on ImU^iuAcut, Impudent Diuvki.. The Confederate Con gress-puts forth a long winded (five columns) whine against the Unionists for making “unpro voked and aggressive war’ upon them. They say : “Commencing our in w national life under such circumstances, we had a right to expect that we would be permitud wrhoul mohsta tion to cultivate the arts of peace, ai d vindicate on our chosen arena, and with the selected type of serial characteristics, our claims to civiliza tion. It was thought, 100, by many, that war would not be resorted to by an enlightened country, except on the direst necessity. That a people, professing to be animated by a Christian sentiment, and who had reganhd our peculiar institution as a blot and blur upon the fair escutcheon of their common Christianity* should make war upon the Scutb for doing what they had a perfect right to do, and for relieving them of the incubus which they pro fessed rested upon them by the association, was deemed almost beyond belief by many of oar wisest minds. * * * These reasonable anticipations were doomed to disaj pointment.

The Feather river was for dable at Niclolaus. No grain was rai-ed at the missions, and the Guvermnonr. to save a portion of the catile, ordered that most of them should be killed, and the order was exe cuted by military authority. Laige droves of cattle were driven off the cliffs into the sea. rather than have them starve to death on land If the accounts are authentic, and there suras to be no valid reason to doubt them, we art liable to such ano her violation.

IlUio water could he found in deep holes in the river bed. No rain fell for twenty month?. The Contra Costa Gazette of March I2tb contains the following curious statement : l>on Salvio Pacheco. an old resident of Cal ifornia. and a very intelligent and reliable gen tleman, slates, a> we are informed, that from the year 1824 to 1825, scarcely any 1 . what ever fell; that cattle died by th n.-an 1-. ;.:.d that earthquakes were so frequent ami «■> se vere that in some instances adobe buildings were thrown down and the inmates buried in their ruins. Tim London Times think? it the clear interest uf Great Britain that this country should be divided and weakened, as w. were becoming entirely too strong and powerful before secession. Very naturally, it considers Gov. Seymour’s late me-sage a wi-e and statesmanlike product i n. and wonders why its author is so unpopular at home. The n .=on is just ibis: New York docs not believe that this country ought to be divided and paralyzed, and therefore the loyal New Yorkers do not think well of Gov. Seymour: and at the same time the ultra Copperheads of the W.-ds species find fault with the Governor for his half way loyally.
