J. R. CRANDALL, Sectet.ry.. Auburn, Juno 13, 1863. 2w It is for this ruion, all these wrongs are wrought upn the people of.

Ohio under the pretense "a war necessity" a aiihierfug heretofore resorted to for the violation of ttrwnal rights tn thit State, and it ia very plain lhal if persisted in bv the Federal Adminittration, it will bring the people of lhal Male into armed collision with the adherents of the parly in power. The Administration of Ohio it in the hand of these adherents, and it aiding in bringing about this state of civil war. Give to the Republicans of California the Administration of the affair of California for four year, and we have no ground to hope for anything belter bere than in Ohio. They have no more respect fr the constitutional rights of tliecinzen I ere than their brethren nave on the Atlantic tide; are of the tame higher- law tendencies as they, which the Attorney General and other luminaries in lie party have frequently proclaimed. The Slate Convention of this party is now in session and we observe among the resolutions pass ed there the one following, and the circum stances as reported.

Gissm.L of Cutie There is a parly in my county which is a good deal to do with the Con stitution of Ibe United Slates, having taken that instrument under their especial charge. Now lor their benefit I wish to offer an additional resolu-tion: littohed. That any mean necessary to be made use of to preserve tbe Union are constitu tional. This resolution we hare said passed and became a part of their platform of principles, but it is possible that from motives of policy not because it does not express their views may be stricken out, with the example of Ohio and these express declarations, livery voter in this Slate should be warned and on his guard. The Abolition Idea of Constitutional Powers.

The State Convention of the Abolitionists of California, on the 17th adopteed as a part of their platform of principles, the following resolution: Resolved. That any means necessary to be made use of to preserve the Union are Constitutional." On the next day a motion prevailed re considering the vole by which it passed, and on the final vote upon the resolution quite a debate sprung up. not as to whether the sentiment in it was correct and truthful, for this the speakers all conceded but whether it was policy to express it in so many words openly. There it is plainly set forth- whatever power they say is nee essary that, tlieBe crentures declare to be the Constitution. ThiaUnol the Ian ui of mm, who all concede did love their country.

Listen, oh fellow citizens, to the voice from the grave said (din Adams: 'Nin the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud. is tho only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When tho people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon tliera so last mai mere is uo resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment is to crow every day more encroaching; like a cui.cer it eats fasti every hour." Thomas Jefferson dedans: "Those to whom power is delegated shonld be held lo a strict accountability to thuir Constitutional oaths of office. The plea of necessity is no excuse for a violation ot them.

Kecollecl the price of liberty eternal In clarion notes the great Daniel Webster al hires us to 'Cling to the Constitution. as the shipwrecked marinerclings to the plank, when night aud the tempest close around him." Even of the party of these conspirai tors, Senator Trumbull a living man, re bukes them. Says lie: Necessity Is the plea of tyrants, and if our Constitution ceases to operate the moment a per son charged with its observance think there is a necessity to violate it, it is of little value. We are fighting to maintain the Constitution, ami it specially becomes us in appealing to the people, to com1! to its rescue How are wo better Ih.ia the rub-da if both sides set ut naught the Unitku Dkmucracv oy Acdurm. On the first page of to-day's UeraM will be found the proceedings of the united democracy of this place.

Union-AdminietratiomRepublicau-Abolitioo party, met by lit delegates, in Mate Com en tio at Sacramento oh Wednesday, Wm.

L. Dudley, of Calaveras, wat chosen perrua. pant President. On the tame day F. F.

Low, Collector of the Port of San Francisco, and A. A. Sargent, El-Congressman, of Nevada, were placed in nomination for Governor. On the first ballot Low received 170 votes, and Sargent 93. Gov Stanford wat not bei fore tbe Convention for nomination, at his defeat at the primaries in Sacramento and San Francisco, drove him from the field; but baiever strength he bad wet thrown to Sargenl.

But John Connest wat too power ful for either of ibem, and triumphantly twepl the course with hit candidate Low. Thit was the great fight, but tbe Connest programme teems mainly to have been fol lowed throughout the whole ticket and John hat lake good care of his Democratic adhermte who followed him into the Abolii tion ranks, and of those Republicans who went early to hit support lasl winter for tbe U.S. Senate. As for example, the nominee for Lieul. Gov.

is Speaker tchin, Republican, who went for Conness, and was a pretended can didate for Governor in the southern mining counties, but in reality a whipper in for Low. The nominees for Congress are Tom Shannon, of Plumas; W. IIvHigby, of Calaveras; Cornelius Cole, of Santa Cruz formerly all Democrats of the Connest stripe. Another B. li.

Reading, of Sacramento, was nominated fr Secretary of Slate. Another Pa-checo, of Santa Barbara, for Slate Treasurer. After these John permitted some of the old line Republicans to come in, and Oulton, of Siskiyou, for Controller, and Ilarriman, of Placer, for Supreme Clerk, who were Senators lat vinter, and originally for Phelps, but went to Conness sooner than the Sargent men, were nominated. MoCul lough, the young man of wardrobe notoriety, was nominated for Attorney General. And then came Clayes, of for State Printer; and lIotihlon, Surveyor General.

Some of these nominations last named may not be Conness men, but John is too wary a manai ger to take every thing, if by so doing he thouaht he would drive away Republicans from the support of the ticket, and it is likei ly that he was willing to give them just a taste to keep them in passable humor. At this writing we have not learned the nominees for the Supicme Bench, but il may be set down as certain that a majority of them will be Conness men; and among them will be Sanderson, of El Dorado, and Curry of Solano. Time brings about strange things; and who would nave believed two years ao. when Conness was denouncing Republicans as "water drinkers, who woul not tight. would so soon be the leader of their party, dictating the men tliev should support for the highest positions in the slate.

Although Conness has given this ticket to the party, he has been unable to present strong men, It intellectually very weak the weakest ever presented to the State. is a small man nominated for a large place. Tom Shannon is a consummate ignor amus whose success in attaining political position has been a matter of suppnse to thosa who know the caliber of the man. lligby is something of an improvement on Shannon, but wofully deficient in the neces sary qualifications to represent ihe interests the great state or Oalitonna in the na'ion- al councils. As lo the ability of Mr.

Cole, we are not advised, ami will not speak. But it cannot, be claimed for him thai he is a man of note in the Slate. Il will be the pleasure and duty of ihe Democratic State Convention, on the 8th of Jti to nominate a ticket that will he a credit to the State for intellectual strength, and the hold il will have upon the Democrat and conservative masses, a ticket Ilia' cannot fail to be e'ected. N'swr Mining Town Rich Cohi'kb Lkad. We have before us a specimen of ore from the Wilson claim, in Garden Bur District, ten miles north west of Auburn.

The ore assays, by returns from San Francisco, 24 7 10 per cent, and the Comyauy fcave now nn the ground at their shaft, from fifteen In twenty tons of ore of a like quality. The VVil son claim was located in November or Dei cemlier last, and worked by a shaft sixtvfive feet deep. At that depth the lead it found eight feel iu thickness, and yielding a pyrt tons ore. A few feet have been told in the claim at fifty dollars per foot, but none can be purchased at such figures now. The Auburn Cnmpnny adjoint the Wilson nthe toiilh.westand the Jefferson Company nn the north-west and both are confided on equally as rich.

The developments of ihe copper interests in that locality, lias caused a town to be laid out, known as Wilsum town which it going ahead in true California style. Another town, named Superior, hat been laid nut in the same District. There ran be nn doubts that the "Wilson" will be soon ranked among the moat valuable claims in ihe Stale, and there are other claims in the vicinity of Bear River that gives great prom ite of richness. 7The Col ton Stale Convention it call edto meet in Sacrmenlo on Wednesday, hut it it generally conceed lhal there will he few if any delegates there.

In tbe work of orgaui. nation, there was tile or ao opposition to tbe "ways aud Bieaus Ol ine majority ur inc mu-Low Party.

TUMPOIUUr OUOAXIX1TI0V. The Luwitca took possession of the Convention ou the start, by electing Jobu II. JeWett, at their temporary Chairman, and they held a tiuht rein over its proceedings unlil after tbe nomination of Mr. Low. No quarter waa given, tbe black 8a? being unfurled from the beginning.

The packed delegak't from San Francisco, Sacra-memo. Vula and Santa Clara, composing sixty-lour members, were true aa steel to Ibeir masters, aud voted -Low" ou every question. These lour coun lies controlled the Conveution. and were implacable and obstiuate. With such ao array of eiiinliiiiml sfrenerth as a nucleus to which all Ihe other scattering Low delegates were attracted, there was po hope left for tbe oppusiti jii, and quiet subniistio a was the only alternative.

which was well timed to deceive strangers, but upon the minds of those who knew the man, bad no cnccl at all. NOMINATION OK OOVKKXOB. In Ihe evenius. the Convention having com pleted its permanent organization, the majority resolved to proceed with ibe nominations, at least, with Ihe nomination ol Governor. Amotion to adjourn until today was voted diwn with great unanimity by Ihe Lowites.

and a motion to proceed with the nomination was adopted Mr. F. F. Low ami A. A.

Sargent were duly nominated pro forma Mr. swift, a very indifferent speaker, from the San Francisco delegation doing the 'honorable" for his friend Low. and Gen. Collins, of Nevada, performing similar favors for A. A.

Sargent. A resolution, inviting Ihe candidates lo the stand, was opposed by Low's IVi'-nds. but it finally passed. The Lowitcs then endeavored to limit the candidates' speeches to ten minu'es: Th inference the lobby drew from this sensitiveness on the part of Low's that Low would loose caste with the Convention by a practical comparison of oiatorial powers with Mr. Sargent.

They thought, perhaps, that Low could hold "his wind" lor ten minutes, hence the motion of limitation. But the Convention wanted to see and hear Mr. Low. He was a new man in the political arena. He had made rapid strides from Ihe banking house, at Marysville, to high political positions.

'-Some men are born to greatness, while others have honors thrust upon them." Mr. Low had been squeezed into the House ol Representatives, as a third member, when every body else thought there was no prospect for such a scat. Unexpectedly and quietly he returns from his missiou lo Washington as the Collector of Custcms, at San Francisco, and today, unsatisfied with such rapid advances on the political scale, he stands an aching aspirant lor Gubernatorial honors! Had a reputation for mental brilliancy or genius, preceded this man, the public ould not have been surprised at his special pre'erineut and rapid i dvancement. Brodcrick said that '-(Jold was King." Everybody knows that it F. F.

Low had been a poor miner, delving in the bed of the Yuba river for his daily sustenance, that he never would have seeu Congress, the Custom House, or been fl it-lived with a nomination for Governor. His age is about and his personal appearance is good, but his ability is seriously in doubt. His speeches last evening were very tame, as you will observe by the report in the Union. In his introductory he very vainly says, -if you find any man more no5e, -any man who can guard Ihe interests ol the State any better than give him your suffrages." This is flat, silly and ridiculous. Any man more noble." Ihat'B good.

My noble Lord. F. I1. Low! Ihe "Kb hereafter be dropped, and this gentleman distinguished as Noble Low. In his congratulatory speech, he nearly broke down on opening.

His grammar was so bad that the Union reporter dropped the speaker's words and substituted bis own. commencing where the Collector had regained his sell possession and spoke morfi easy. He manifests no lite, animation or spirit on the stand, and speaks slow and with serious and anxious Your readers will probably have an opportunity of Hearing mis eloquent ami noble man belore the campaign is over. Immediately al ter Mr. Low's nomination, the Convention adjourned till 10 o'clock this, morn ing, when they met and proceeded with the list if nominations.

TUB I.IKCTEXANT OOVKRXOR. In this matter the reader rrust keen in view the charge that John Conness has made all the nominations lor this Convention, iu advance and as early as last winter, when he was a can didate lor U. S. seuutor. The man nn his slate lor Lt.

Governor, was Ex-Speaker Machin, of Mono, and he was nominated as readily and easily us his candidate for Governor. Mr. Low. Gen. Collins, of Nevada, had some claims, but he un fortunately voted for Sarg nt lor Senator.

So tbe ball moves, and more rapidly nnd smoothly ns will be seen, as the nominations proceed. TUB COXOKKSSIOXAl. NOMINKKK. Next in order was ihe nomination of the candidates for Congress. In the First District, the jrreat champion ol Conness.

lion. T. H. Shannon, of l'liimis. was nominated by acclamation.

Shannon and Conness slept together dtu'ng the Senatorial struggle last winter. Who now is silly enough lo doubt but that this is but a consummation of the iindcrslaiidinir then in do be tween these bright nnd shining Douglas Democrats? Conness sticks well to those who Croze lo him nn thai Irving occasion. Everybody knows a it me qn no iii-nii uus 01 tins man were no recommendations lor this high position. Hut Shannon has rough road to i ravel ere gels his comtnis-inn The lieonlc of the District Ininw his qualifications belter than this nominating cnnvei lion. In Ihn Second District, similar programme was carried successfully out.

Con. ness' Iriend. Ex-Senator Wm. Higliy. or Calaveras, was nominated by acclamation.

The nnnnsitinn to these gentlemen Was so weak-kneed, that It was uselcs to oppose Ihcm. The irrepressible Conness had everything too well matured tn lie ucieatcu. lint iiicrc it one dark spot marked upon his political chart, by the consummation ol Wis last nomination. Senator Ilurnell, of Atnamir, was a laithliil friend of John Conness in bis dtys Senatorial nnd he liilmr-id with great effect for the Little Giant, of El Dorado. Witness his reward.

There is still another victim of misnlnceri confidence t.nr.,n Upson political editor of the Sacramento Daily Union. Who has lorgotton the Conness leaden which appeared durinir last winter? Especially after the wardrobe affair. Mr. Upson was a can- mimic mm nau claims lor services rendered on Cunness' Influence. Whita nv.n t.

cerliiliMsIs niton proved by Ihe daily occurrences of life. In Ihe Third District, the programme was broken by the nomination of C. C. Cole, lato District Attorney of Sacramento, now In Santa SKCBKTAnT Of STATS. R.

The eveut Caused great rejoicing, and at 7 o'clock in Ibe evening tbe citizeus met to celebrate the completion of tbe line that would hereafter bind them toother civilized aud culigbteued communities. Sneeches were ule by several eloquent eeutle men, aud tbe audience teemed particularly delighted with the ielrgrapb.

UECOIltlKB'S tl.El'TlOX. The elecliou tor District Recorder look place on the 2nd and tbe omce being a most lucra tive one, you can rest assured I here re no scarcity ol candidates. V- ion Democratic and Independent aspirants put lortb their claims for the peoples sunrages. anil electioneering was car ried on with greater vigor man 1 ever benelil in a town that could not boast of a larger population than between two and three thousand.

Money without limit was spent, and although whiskey for that day appeared to be King, the election passed off with quietude and good order. At noon some of Ihe candid ites haviug withdrawn from the the fight was narrowed down to Ed. Gallager. Union candidate for re-election, and S. MotT.it who me out on Ihe square Democratic ticket.

Col being good and popular men. the most knowing ones could not wiih any certainty predict who would be the lucky hnmbre. Any amouut ol money was offered to bet on Uncle Ned (as he is here called but very few takers. At IU o'cloeg. id Ihe evening tbe result was m.ide known iu Motfat's favor, who was' declared elected by fourteen majority.

The enthusiasm of the Democratic parly knew no bounds, bonlires were lit. and the joyful crack of revolvers were heard all night, from iliscus-cussious I have beard regarding this event, it appears that Moffat being very popular received a very large number of Union votes. lie' that as it may. the Recorder elect, to-morrow takes bis of-fiice, and the probability is.that the mining interests of E-meralda will in no ways suffer, lor having a politician of tbe Old School, too look after them. LOCAL ITEMS.

Although stocks in mining claims have gone down to the lowest possible notch, never did our prospects look brighter thin at the present time. A few months since, all kinds of ledges some of which had not even been prospected were selling for good prices. some oven at high figures. San Francisco men going it blind, and since their eyes have been slightly opened, have betfome so very cautious that eveu the most valuable claims have receded to low qout.itions. is being pushed ahead with a vigor that does great credit to our young town.

New mills have been erected -and old ones improved Splendid brick buildings are constantly going up in our midst as it by magic, aud ere the sum mer is over Aurora will present quite a handsome aud imposing appearance. HANK. Rkpublican Countv Ticket. On Satur-last, the second day of the Republican Convention, a full ticket was nominated com prised of the following gentlemen: Senators James E. Hale, Auburn John Yule, Michigan Bluff.

Assemblymen i. D. Pratt. Carrolton. Winchester, Plains.

E. II. Snyder, Last Chance. Co. Judge II.

Fellows, Dutch Flat. Co. Clerk W. D. Spear, Michigan Bluff.

Sheriff William Sexton, Auburn. Treasurer J. W. Dickinson, North Star House. Recorder W.

D. Lvon, Iowa Hill. Supl. C. Schools A.

II4 Goodrich. Pub. Adm'r llazell, Auburn. Coroner Thoa. Jamison, Auburn.

Surveyor Eugene Phelps, Grizzly Fiat. Taken altogether this is a very good ticket for the Republicans. It might have been improved by the selection of some other names that were spoken of for nominations, but il is expecting too much from Conven tious that tneir nominations should be wholly iinexceptionab'e. As good citizens no excep tion can be taken to any of the nom'tiees to their politics very grave objections can be offered. The nominees for the Legislature, wiih the exception i-f Mr Yule, have no Legislative experieni-p, and he certainly has not made his mark as nn able man, although a clever gent eman.

Judge Hale is (he lea I ing man on the ticket, but lias never been identified with the party until nominated. Mr. Fellows, was t'-nntv Judge 'last fall, and has but recently entered upon the duties of office. Mr. Goodrich was elected School Supertnti'ii lfcil two years ag, and has filled the office well.

Moat of the other candidates are before the people for the firt time.

OHIO POLITIC. The situation of waiter politic! in lir North West hat at any time wiibiu lit part fifteen yeara been a tulject of deep interest to the people of lite entire Union, because it embraced vast empire, already holding the balance of power in the national affair; but it it particularly ao at thit day, and the State of Ohio occupies by force of recent eventt a tpecial interest among all the tiaterhood of that aubwiivikipn of Stalet. Thit great Slate in the contest of I860 cast vole of 442 442, of which nearly one half were in nppo tition to Republican candidate, but whirh opposition wat divided between Douglas, llreckenridge and Bell. Thit opposition has become by ronton of the flagrant wrongs committed by the Administrations, Stale and Federal, intensified and united into the most intimate bonds of brotherhood. It cannot be said that her people have not gone into the field and sacrificed themselves at the call of Mr.

Lincoln; there is no pretense that ber citizens have not contributed their share of taxes to carry nn the objects nnd policy of the Administration, and yet from tome causa a majority of that people stand in open undisguised hostility to the Admin titration. How this has been btou-ht about i it easily told, and when explained to tland as a lesson to the people of California. The Administration in its infatuation seeks to destroy the inalienable rights of the citizen. Last tall Dr. Olds and other citizens were dragged from their homes and incarcerated in Government prisons, without crime in direct violation of the laws of the United State's and of ihe State of Ohio, retained in those baslilea fo long as Mr.

Lincoln willed it, and discharged al his pleasure, and to this day not one of them has been informed of the cause of su inhuman and illegal treatment. It was in vain those victims ot brute power appealed to the Governor of their State, to sustain them in their legal rights, he loo was a Republican, and mock wer answered by assisting in tne wickedness 'of their kidnapping. It was in vain that they cried from their prisons we are cit xena of the United Slates judge us by the laws of our common country what are the crimes with which we btand charged? let us be tried that our innocence or guilt may be made apparent. Their supplicating moan. inga weie either smothered or lost in the massive walls of their subterranean cells, or fell upon ears deaf to the voice of law and justice.

At length came the day when by the law of the land the people could through the ballot box, and reprove those temporarily entrusted with power, and they did it with no unmistakable tonee of condemnation. The opposition vote swelled into a mighty majority, and it was supposed this protest would be respected. A Grand Jury indicted Gov. Todd for the participa. tion of his part, in the infamy of kidnapping, which it was hoped but vainly would i teach these upstarts some regard for the criminal coda.

Recently Mr. Vallandigham, a prominent citizen, was arrested by a disgraced General, -for criticising the acts of the Republican hartv in a speech made before the people of alt. Vernon, iriea ivy a urumneni coun, nn.i banished from his State. It is not pretend ed that he is guilty of any crime known to laws, that the court before which he was lirntin-ht. was one authorized by any law to which ha was amenable, to try him, or that the punishment ia anywhere in the United States sanctioned by law.

It is apparent that if they can inflict such wrongs upon citizen so prominent as Mr. Vallandigham it can be done with perfect impunity upon less humble persons. On the eleventh ol this month the Democratic State Convention of Ohio assembled at Columbus, and the telegraph informs us thai this Convention was the largest ami most enthusiastic, ever assemble I in Ohio, and further, that: "After a laborious, but exceedingly harmonious and enthusiastic session, the Convention adjourn-f with a determination to elect Vnllandighaiu linvernor of Ohio bv triumphant majority. The report of the Committee on Ru-olutions declares th it the Democratic irty ever has been 1 and Is yet a law abiding party, asking nothing but Its rights under tbe Constitution unit law; iht the will of the neoole is the foundation ol all free Government; that to give effect to Ibis will, free thought, free speech, tind free press are absolutely indispcnsiiilej that tii'Tc is a manifest difference between the Administration of tlx1 Government and the Government itsell; lh.il the Administration are agouti ol the pi-ople aniiW.t to their nnnroval or condemnation, ac cording to the merits or demerits of their nets, The resolutions Ittrtner prorcsi ntiunn un- email lniinn nrochimallon. onnose compensated email eipalion as burdensome on he people, unjust in its nature and wholly without warrant in the Constitution; declare that the power ussum- by Ihe President to nroclaim it arlial law over Stales where war does not exist, and to suspend writs of babea' corpus.

Is unwarranted by the constitution Its tendency being In make the civil authority subordinate to tlio military; tb.it tb nrrest and Imprisonment without trial, mid tho actual banishment of U. Vallandigham by the alleged military authority for no other pretended crime tbao uttering words of legitimate criticism upon tbe conduct or the Administration in power, and of nppcallng tn the ballot-box lor a change of policy-said nrrest and military trial taking place where thi Courts or law are opn and tinob- atrocled It a palpable violation ol the provisions of Ibt Constitution of tho United States; that whenever It is practicable to ohtalna Content on of allorthriie-fonrth of the lues, such a body bould be convened lor the purpose of proposing each amendments to the Federal Cunstilutioo us experience bat proved necessary." Add to the foregoing the fact lhal Mr. Vallandigham wae nominated by this 0n eenlion by the unpartlelled vole of 854 to 7, and the tlalue of tin opposition in Ohin cannot he douhtrul in any man't judgment. Meantime Vallaiwlighatii hat been delivered over to the Conf derate authorities, by the ofBcere of the army, and twenty citizens have sane In demand hit restoration to flliiu. bv the President.
