Representing as he does now tbe mavety of the constitution, the march of improve ment and the cause of humanity, we may safely congra ‘Wate ourselves and the country upon the certainty of bis v iom., Nor should we be surprised at the assaults which, by his political opponenis, are made upon his re pviation and bis capacity. Such assaults are Incident to bis position—they only prove the motives of those who mwke them, wh.e their shaite, directed towards him, fal! bertmiersly at his feet Itis the fate of greatness to be maligned, and the more conspicuous the mark the faster ud thicker fly the shafts of envy and detraction. Time however, reotifes the wrong and compensates the loss; for while the great who have been upjustly agsailed are Weasured in undying records, and are enshrined in a na- ticn’s beart, their traducers sink into merited oblivion, or preserve an infamous notoriety to which oolivion itself is bes. The charges and suggestions made against Col, Fremont are identical with those made against the Hero of New Orleans, by his political advergari: when his bame was first mentioned in connection with the same great oflice, and they will produce the same results now that they did then. ‘General Jackson occupies a pedestal 2 history only lees elevated than the one op which is placed our immortal Wasbington, and the waves of detrac sion which are urged against the reputation of Col. Fre- mont will, hke the waves of the ocean surging against a rock girt sbore, break harmlessly at bis feet aua impo- tently retire. The adopted resolutions are as follows:— Resolved, That we cordially endorse the resolutions adopted by the National Republican Convention, and in them we re eognize the priveiples which governed’ the political course of » Fathers of the repubite, Resolved, Tbat we he y ratify the nomination of John C, Fremont and William L. Dayton. and we will give them an enthusiastic support, as the standard bearers of repubican ssue in this Presidential campaign. Resolved, That we inscribe on our banner.

Fremont w ‘trates the # 28, Resolved, That slavery iu the slave States depends solely upon State laws for its existence; that Congress has no power to modify, change or repeal such laws, and is no responsible therefor; we are, therefore, opposed to all interference with slavery in the slave States. Resolved, That the speedy construction of a national rail road, by the most central and eligible route, connecting the Atlantic States with California, is demanded by the military postal and commercial necessities of the republic; and we re- cognize the power of Congress, under the constitution, to ap propriate money, as well as land, to aid in building this great work: and the only hope of its construction is in the election of Jobn C. Fremont. Resolved, That P. T. Herbert, by the murder of an humble borer, has rendered himse!f unworthy of aseat as our repre- ve in Congress, urd the demoerats in the federal Legis ure, by refusing to investigate the facts, have sanctioned the ody deed; and Sevaior Weller, in attempting to screen him from public odium, merits the severest condemnation. Resolved, That the time has fully come for a thorough and radical reform in our State atfairs, and the complete overthrow of the political parties who have encouraged ard sustained a host of cormorants in their schemes for plundering th Resolved, oflices immoral and unprinecipled men, and those who have no perms nent interest in the welfare of the country, has disgraced ovr State, and is an evil which demands an immediate remedy. Resolved, That we are ip tavor of the speedy settlement of Jond titles in this State; of a free grant to actual settlers of ortions of the public domain, aud of free mining on the public lands. Not the least iptereeting incidents of the occasion was Te testimony borne to the character and conduct of the people. * Co! ror of Californ'a,’’ Capt. Fallon, of Sau Jose, being called upon by the Conver tion, gave, in a modest and graphic manner, a bistery of his connection with Col. Fremont, as one of his companic nm arms, end upon his exploring expe- ditions, and stated that in every position the republican ate for the Presidency ebared the toils, dangers and fare of those uncer bis command; that so far from shrink- ing from hardsbip or bard tare, he was always foremost in enduring toil, danger and privation. Capt. #. stated that tbe stale charges of the interested partisan press, that a majority of Fremont’s battalion were opposed to his election was entirely without foundation, and that not more than y out of five hundred could be found in the rank the Opponents of their former commander, and that they were either officeholders or expectants. Don Antonio Mario Pico, of Santa Clara, a native Cali- pian, and an old chizen of the country, a brother of Don Andreas Pico, one of the electors at the last Presi ental election, and of Pio Pico, one of the former G ernore of California, beleg called upon by the united vot of the assemblage, ceivered an address in Spanish, which wae interpreted to the Convention After return ing thanks to the Convention, he stated that he had known Colonel Fremont ever since he first arrived in California: that he esteemed bim highiy, and admired his talents; that h*® bravery was unquestioned, and his hu mepity unbounded. Although at war with the Califor. nians during the existence of the hostilities between the two countries, be was ever kind to those whom the for tunes of war placed in bis power—respected the rights and property efthe vanquirhed. and shed no Californian’s bicod wantonly or unnecessarily; and that, ont of grati- e for hit kind and humane bearing, the Californians ng coniderce in his wisdom and ability, would w.

He advised the b alnitg emigrants to proc tothe Mission of Santa Clara, and take up their winter q garters, instructing them to forti'y the place against attack, but not to despoll the rion means to respect the church pro " em government orders for pro- visions nu state of destituiion.

Capt. Aram stated that Gen. Keni i for him one day, and navired into the circumstances of the case; and upon his ving bim @ history of the matter, Gen. Kearny imme e Geepatched a mesrenger requesting Col. Fre mmediat ndance, and upon his reporting the Commander in-Chief inquired sternly by thority the provisions bad been furnished. Co’ t replied that be had taken the respopaibility upon meoll to do it, because it was righ!. Upon Gen. Kearny repenting the emphatic question, “Do you suppose go verrment will allow this expenditure Col. Fremont promptly replied ** that he considered the emergencies he « demanded what he and if the govern ment would not allow the account, be would pay it him Coptain A. concluded with the following anecdote illus trative of Fiemont’s ebaring the same fare and fortanes as the men uncer b ob be heard from an officer, now deceased, who follow emont in bis South ern campaign during the war. On his march down the coast the supplier were ‘urnished by a commissary named King, who, finding the stock of groceries running rhort, boing evabied to procure a limited quantity a'ong the route, concluded to ure them only at the officers’ nes#. Fremont noticing some new articles on the table, inquired how they came there. Upon being informed, be immediately ordered a parade next morning. After the Lattalian was formed Fremont ordered the commissary to give « bistory of the transaction, and bis inquiry as to whether the rations bad been distributed to the soldiers as well as officers being answered ia the negative, he reprimanded Mr. King, and informed him that upon a r titton of the offence he should be dismissed from the service The reminiscences of Col.

To this came ar instant reply, that he—the Colo nel—was ‘‘ thoroughly a demoorat;” that he “adhered to the great principles of the demeeratic party: that he boundary line Was in favor of a national railread from the Mississippi to the Pacific, and for immediate action thereon, and that he had proposed a practicable route, commencing at and along the Kansas rivor ard ending tn the Del Norte valley Ho also stated bis Mariposa property was purchased in 1847, by Mr. Yarkin, for bis aceownt, for $8,000: that it lay onacreck ix tbe San schim valley, and that he hed oo * ace, and knew nothing of its char cession, oF the gold » mines, That the practice ot electing to important. public ¢ It was intended as a homestead and place of ri 48 s00p as the gold was discovered, thousands there, and be never interposed any obstacle to’ being worked, but left it “ free to all having the ind) to collect it.’ When appeinted the Boundary Comd sioner to supersede Colonel Weller, be left the time ag place of such supersecedeas to that gentleman’s conven! pe; that he himse!f obtained the money to pay Colonel ‘8 party, efter General Riley refused to furnish it; aily, be resigne1 the appointment, not eveu pre g tt to Colouel Weller, whose position bad become sant, The cattle purchase was made of De Ce is, atthe suggestion of Commissary Heniey, the commaud being destitute of provisions. It w made on the most favorable terms. General Kearney, however, issued « proclamation assuming the command, destroying th Colonel’s creoit, and refused to be responeiole for the pa) ment of the supplies. Under these circumstances, D. Cetis was informed of the facts, and placed his cattle i the hands of a third party, until it could be known wha the government would uo, It is alleged that the Colonel ieceipted for all tbe cattle, when a part only hag beeu jivered; but be did so because it completed the con (ract, because De Celis had, weriles, advanced money for the troops, and because he bad the cattle ready t eliver to the thira party, Abel Stearns, to whom they were all delivered as fast as they could be brought t Apgeles, {Thus by the honesty and fair dealing of Colonel Fre- mont, De Celis was saved from avy logs in fulfilling bis contract, and the troops were to be provided with food. } The third party or trustee with whom the cattle were placed, in a letter to the editors of the Chronicle, writes as follows :— Los ANGELES, August 12th, 1856. pions Curonicre.—Dear Sirs:—I send you copies of J.C Fremont’s order forthe di ry of cattle, copy of ceipts oi cattle, and copy of a document Celis, and attested by th re signed by Eulogio de Wm. Wolfskill, all of which speak for selves, and need no comment from me. en For. Don Eulogio de Celis contracted (3d of March, 1847,) with Col. Fremont his cattle were at the rancho ecalied the ‘Larga,”? some two hundred miles distant from this plac thus the delay in sending for and conducting them to this place. ‘The latter part of April the cattle arrived at or near this place, and at the same time Col Fremont was about to leave for Mon terey, when he entered into a verbal contract with me to receive the cattle from Sor. Celis, which T did as soon as the cattle were conducted to the place agreed upon and the neces sary re-marking of the cattle, to the number of 481 hesd—there being po more in the band ‘answering to the contract. For these I gave a receipt, dated Ist May, 1847.¥Sor. Celis had to send again for cattie—119 head—to complete the 600, and the last lot Were received the 7th of July, 1847. It's very probable that Col. Fremont, being satisfied of Sor. Celis’s ability and security for delivering the eattla to me, signed the certificate 26th of April, 1547. the cattle being then, complete and ready te be delivered to me. It is not @ fact that Col. Fremont paid fifty per cent more than the value of the cattle ai that ume. f supplied Lieut. Tavideon with eaitle at eight dollars (cssh) per head, reserving the hides, worth twodollars each, and furnished the pe coer. Yours, very truly, ABEL STEARNS. M. De Celis received his cattle back with the increase, which Col. Fremont bad generously periuitted him to realise in case the United States government refused to Sustain the contract; and here tollows acopy of his re- ceipt:— This is to certify, that T have received from Abel Stearns a lot of cattle with fis increase, by an order whieh I accompany and of which T banded the original to Col. Fremont; and In virtue of this document, the said Mr. Fremont remains free of all responsibility towards the government of the United States respecting the above -meotioned cattle, said cattle having been returned to me, having not been paid for the lot sold fo Mr. Fremont in the year 1$47, net‘her by him nor by the govern ment, for which reason 1 took the same back.’ And conse: quently, Mr. Abel Stearns, the depositary of said cattle, re mains free of all responsibility, it being ‘entirely left to me to make good any claim against said government. In testimony whereof, and'as @ voucber to the parties interested, I have signed these presents, on the 27th day of the month of Septem ber, 1862 EULOGIO DE CkLIS. Altested:—Wa.
