From California.
We subjoin a vaiiety of extracts which will be
read" with interest.
The S.iu Francisco Herald of the 4th May has
a .table showing the-arrival and departure ui
passengers at the port of San Francisco fur the
month of April, in which it appears that the
population has increased 5.531 within that month,
of which 2450, or nearly one-half, were from
China. The same paper says': We
learn from an authentic'source, that the
Chinese arriving on the 23d by the Clipper ship
Challenge, as well as most others of the immense
' numbers now about to arrive, are under bonds
to serve for limited period, and at a stipulated
sum. These coolies are hired-in most cases by
their own countrymen, or foreign, residents of
- Qhina who will-reap the benefit of their cheap
V. . labor, while our own citizens are debarred from
the same privilege through the failure of the
Senate to pass a law on the subject. Many thousands
are now on their way to California, and
IB?g?' they will be thrown into every branch of uidustry
by their Chinese masters, to underbid AmeA
rican labor, while American citizens have their
bands tied, and cannot eugage their services
with any prospect of a performance of their contracts.
V | Expulsion of the Chinese.?From the cor.
respondence of the Sacramento Union, we learn
that the expulsion of the Chinese gold diggers
P has commenced in the interior. The following
is the letter:
./ Mormon Bar, North Fork, Am. River, )
Sunday, May 2d, 1852. \
Messrs. Editors: The excitement in regard to
'V ' the Chinese is rapidly extending along the North
;vFork 6f the American River, and daily expulsions
are taking place. This morning some sixty
^ . Americans ranged down the river some four
miles driving off two hundred, quietly removing
the tents, strictly respecting their persons and
property, except in one instance, when a Celestial
seemed inclined to be "obstreperous," his
Pr . cradle was thrown into the rive. Tee same com,
,, pany intend to proceed en masse to Horse Slioe
Bar this afternoon, to concert measures with the
miners, there to "start" some four hundred located
at that place. A band of music is engaged,
to accompany the expedition.
The feeling is strong, and anything but evanescent,
that self-protection as a first law of nature
mast and shall be enforced. Would it not
-be well for your city government to take some
action on the subject, for you will certainly have
V. V" - . . a flood of them from above and below you soon.
Jgy^ ' There is but one opinion among the miners in
- * regard to the proposed monopolies and importa
Ition ofChinese into the mines, and nearly all of
the eighty or ninety thousand American miners
are fully determined to submit no longer to have
the-public lands robbed of their only treasure.
Yours, in haste, as I accompany the expedition
down the river.
The citizens of San Francisco have memorialized
the Legislature in favor of the Chinese. The
memorial says:
That the emigration of the Chinese to this
. country is productive of great profit to us, and we
. "believe of great benefit to the mining and agricultural
interests in our State; that they are a
""^peaceable, industrious and law obeying people;
that many of them are merchants and citizens
of respectable standing and considerable capital
in California; that we believe, from what some
of ugt kuow who have lived in China, that the reflex
iSfetion of the srold mines of California, and
the system of American free principles of goveminent
and trade, witnessed by these people in
& our midst, will be in the highest degree beneficial
to the enlightening and liberalizing of Asia;
p and particularly of the immense Empire of China,
lying within thirty-five days distance from
our shores, and nearly as large as our country,
' and containing over 250 millions of men of highly
civilized habits, of Immense trade and commerce,
and capable of indefinite extension and
h-*"-' expansion.
That this trade and commerce, by kindness,
' liberality and generous dealings, will in a few
years, under the guidance of our energetic and
- enterprising countrymen, pass through the golden
gates of San Francisco, and the golden hills
| of California, enriching this State to an extent
unconceived now by our living citizens. That
KjL if we check or damage this system, just now in
its infancy, by establishing ignorant or hasty
laws and restrictions, we may injure ourselves to
* acgree omy reparaoie ny years 01 ceju?eie?s
longings, of wearying desires, of that which we
. had destroyed by our folly?so common in the
& affaire of States and of men, "and well known in
the exjerience of this California.

Y?v One Hunpred and Fifty Indians Killed.?
"Welearn of thekilling of nearly one hundred and
fifty Indians by a company of citizens of Trinity
county, under the command of Sheriff Dixon,
recently. It was supposed that these were the
Indians who murdered Mr. Anderson a short
time since. The following is the account of the
affair: uThe company that went in pursuit of
the Indians returned to-day, having been absent
just a week. They had little difficulty in following
the trail. The foot prints of the cattle
/ * which the Indian^bad driven off with them, together
with portions of clothing of the deceased;
which they had found scattered aloDg the way,
and were readily recognized by his son who was
in the company, showed unmi-takeable signs of
the path of those whom they were pursuing.?
Bat it was necessary to proceed with great caution
in order not to alarm the savages, and accordingly

Democratic Platform,
ADOPTED BY THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
: Resolved, That the A merican democracy place
; their trust in the intelligence, the patrocism, and
i the discriminating justice of the American people.
44Resolved, That we regard this as a distinct
tivc feature of.our political creed, which we are
proud to maintain before the world as the great
moral element in a form of government springing
from and upheld by the popular will; aud
we contrast it with the creed and of federalism,
under whatever name or form, which seeks to
palsy the will of the constituent, and conceives
no imposture too-monstrous for the popular credulity.
"Resolved, therefore, That, entertaining these
views the democratic party of this Union, through
their delegates .assembled in a general convention
of the States, coining together in a spirit of con,
cord, of devotion to the doctrines and faith of a
free representative gowrnment, and appealing
to their fellow-citizens for the rectitude of their
intentions, .renew and reassert before the Arnerirt.in

by them when, on former aceasions, in general
convention, they presented their candidates for
the popular suffrage:
ul. That the federal government is oneot limited
powers, derived solely from the constitution
and the grants of power shown therein ought to
be strictly construed by all the departments and
agents of government, and that it is i.iexpendient
and dangerous to exercise doubtful constitutional
powers.
"2. That the constitution does not confer
upon the general government the power to commence
and carry 011 a general system of internal
improvements.
"3 That the constitution docs not confer authority
upon the federal government, directly to
assume the debts of the several States contracted
for local internal improvements orother State
purposes; nor would such assumption be just aud
expedient.

federal government to foster one branch of industry
to the detriment of another or to cherish
the interest of one portion to the injury of another
portion of our common country; that every
citizen, and every section of the country, has a
right to demand and insist upon and equality of
rights and privileges and complete and ample
protection of persons and property from domestic
violence or foreign aggressions.
" 5. That it is the duty of every branch of the
government to enforce and practice the most
rigid economy in conducting our public affairs,
and that no more revenue ought to be raised
than is required to defray the necessary expenses
of the gove rnment and for a gradual but certain
extinction of the public debt.
I "6. That Congress has no power to charter a
national bank; that we believe such an instilu
tion one of deadly hostility to the best interests
of the country, dangerous to our republican institutions
and liberties of the people, and calculated
to place the business of the country within
the control of a concentrated money power, and
above the laws ami the will of the people; and
the results of democratic legislation, in this and
all other financial measures njion which issut*?
have been made 1*'tween the two political pari
ties of the country, have demonstrated, to can:
did and practical men of all parties, their soundness,
safety and utility in all business pursuits.
"7. That the separation of the moneys of the
government from banking institutions is indisjtensable
fur the safely of the funds of the gov- ,
eminent and the rights of the people. 1
8". That the liberal principles embodied by
Jefferson in the Declaration of Independance,
and sanctioned in the constitution, which makes <
our the land of liberty and the asylum of the op
pressed of every nation have ever U-cn cardinal
principles in the domocradtic faith: and every attempt
to abridge the privilege of becoming citi
r.ens and the owners of soil among us ought to
be resisted with the same spirit which swept i
the alien and sedition laws from our statute 1
books.
J "9 That Congress has no power under the 1
; constitution to interfere with or control the do- '
mestic institutions of the several States, and that '
sueli states are the sole proper judges of every- 1

hibited by the constitution; that all effort of the
I abolitionists or others made to induce Congress
;Jt?i intefere with questions of slavery or to take
incipient steps in relation thereto, are calculated !
to lead to the most alarming and dangerous con- <
sequences; and that all such efforts have an inevitable
the tndency to diminish the happiness of 1
the people and endanger the stability and pcrma ]
nenoy of the Union,and ought not to be counte- 1
nanced by any friend of our political institutions.
<
Resolved, That the foregoing proposition cov- 1
ers and was intended to embrace the whole sub- <
y ct of the slavery agitation in Congress; and I
therefore the democratic party of the Union. stan- ]
dint; on this national platform, will abide by i
and adhere to the faithful execution of the acts i
known as the compromise measures settled by <

lesigncd to carry out an ex}-re?ls provision of the i
constitution, cannot with fidelity thcrdto b<> re- j

Resolved, That the democratic party will resist
all attempts at renewing, in Congress or out
of it, the agitation ou the slavery question. uri-1
:ler whatever shape or color the attempt may b-made.
1 '
Resolved, Tliat the pruci a- ??F in - public '
lands ought to be sacredly applied to the national
objects specified in the constitution ; and that
we are opposed to any law fur the distribution
of such proceeds among the States, as alike inexpedient
iu policy and repugnant to the constitution.
"Resolved, That we are decidedly opposed to !
taking from the President the qualified veto pow- j
ei, by which he is enabled, under restrietions j.
and responsibilities amply sufficient to guard the i
public interest, to suspend the passage of a bill ,
whose merits cannot secure the approval of two
thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives,
until the judgement of the people can be
obtained thereon, and which has saved the Anier
ican people from the corrupt and tyrannical do- j
lililiaildll (Jl UIC VJil 11IV Ul LUC Utliuu WMHI-'I) l?.u
from a corrupting system of general internal improvements.
"Bcxoloed, That the democratic party will
faithfully abide by and uphold the principles laid j
down in the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions ;
of 1708, and in the report of Mr. Madison to the !
Virginia legislature in 1790; that it adopts those '
principles as constituting one of the main foundations
of its political creed, and is resolved to
carry thorn out in their obvious meaning and
import.
44Resolved, That the war with Mexico, upon
all the principles of patriotism and the laws of
nations, was a just and necessary war ou our part,
in which every American citizen should have
shown himself on the side of his country, and
neither morally nor physically, by word or deed,have
given 4aid and comfort to the enemy."
Rcsolvr.d That, we r joicc at the restoration
of friendlv relations with our sister Republic of
Mexico, and earnestly desire for her all the blessings
and prosperity which we enjoy under republican
institutions; and we congratulate the American
people upon the results"of that war, which
have so manifestly jnstifiod the policy and conduct
of the Democratic nartv, and insured to the |
United States "indemnity for the. past, and se j
curity for the future."
Resolved, That in view of the condition of ;
popular institutions in the Old World, a high ,
and sacred duty is devolved, with ine-va-V '
responsibility, u]<onthe Democratic party <?f this
country, as the party of the people, to uphold
and maintain the rights of every State, and thereby
the Union of the States, and to sustain and
advance among us constitutional liberty by continuing
to resist all monopolies and exclusive
legislation for the benefit of the few at the expense
of the many, and by a vigilant and constant
adherence to those principles ana compro- j
mises of the Constitution, which are broad en- j
ougli and strong enough to embrace and uphold J
the Union as it was, the Union as it is, and th :
Union as it shall he, in the full expansion of ticenergies
and capacity of this great and progressive
people.
The committee to report in relation to the next i
Democratic Convention reported a series of res- j
olutions, fixing the place at Cincinnati, leaving j
the time to the Dcmocratical National Commit- }

more than twice as many delegates as their vote j
in the electoral college. This latter provision ;
was laid unon the table, and the remain .1 -r rift he i

animated. We quote at 7 1-4 to 9 3-4. . |

Counterfeit Detecting.
We were informed by Mr Vane on Tuesday last,
that he will bo in Camden next week, for the purpose of
teaching his rules for detecting counterfeit and altered
bank notes He is now iq Columbia where he has
taught with success. He placed in our hands certificates
from Col. Goodwyn and other gentlemen of that
place, which are ample testimony to this fact.
State Affairs.
We have just soothed ourselves down from the effects
of a political contest of deep interest, and as exciting
perhaps, as any in which the State has been engaged.
The late Convention, it seems, has put an end
to tlio intestine war. Separate Secession now sleeps
in tho "tomb of the Capulets," and Co-operation has
been handed over to the convenience of Georgia and
other Southern States. While we may suppose that \
those Statesaro leisurely "chewing the cud of bitter
fancies," let us employ ourselves in good works at
homo. Some one has well said that it is better to wear
out than to rust out?and although we have been foiled
in a cherislied political purpose, still we prefer to
wear ourselves a little in smaller, though useful effortsi
rather than be consumed by inglorious corrosion.
There aro many matters of internal interest to which
we may well turn our attention; for even the optimists
anions: us will hardly suppose that we have reached
the point of absolute perfection in all matters whatsoever.
We intena, therefore, from time to time, to throw
out certain hints with the hope that they will attract
the attention of wiser heads than our own.
The part that the State should act in promoting popular
Education?what can bo done for the agricultural,
commercial, and manufacturing interests among
us,?are subjects most worthy the consideration of the
press, of tho people, and the government of South Carolina.
These open a Held in which the harvest is
plentiful, but wherein the laborers, heretofore, have
been too few. Perhaps political speculation (a prolific
and easy theme) has too much excluded from the mind
of the country matters of practical utility?each should
receive due consideration, and we propose to devote
our attention hereafter a little more equally to all.
We would first invito tho attention of our readers to
the subject of popular education. Our own has been
recently poiuted to that subject bv an intelligent correspondent
of tho "Laucastcr Ledger." Tho theme is
very trite, but we are not ashamed to utter the stale truism
that a right moral and intellectual culture of the people
should be tho first object of those who would properly
diieet tho affairs of a Republican Commonwealth.
M U WCI lliai lllU seilllUlOUI. IS iW OUIIUUUU tu luu mu- I
guuge in which it is expressed, and lias been repeated
for thousands of years?from the days of Aristotle to
the time of Calhoun. Wo doubt if any young aspirant,
just stretching liis unfledged wing in the genial sunlight
of popular favor. over delivered himself from the
stump of the sweet pains of his virgin conception, with-"
out announcing with dne solemnity of voice and gesture
this time-honored but over neglected truth. Of
courso we will hear it often agaiu, for it is a good chord
to strike, and the heart of the pooplo will always vi
brate a momentary response. But this is not what we
want?we do not desire to have this subject brought
forth again and again, to make merely a vain parade,
or (lout islrng elfort barren of good fruit We desire
that it shall be pressed homo deep into the minds of the
sober, reflecting, wise men ?.f ?thc country, that they
may revolve the matter seriously, and strike out some
plan that will yield us all the benclits of which a good
plan is capable.
It seems evident that the Dresent free school system
of tliis State is founded on an erroneous principle. It
is manifest that it works out no result of benefits at all
proportionate to the mcaus employed; nor are the means
employed adequate to the general purpose.
For 'ear, however, of wearying the patience of our
readers by a further continuance of the subject at present,
we will take a future occasion for the development
of these points?hoping in the meantime that some
friend of the country, and of the rising generation particularly,
may give us the benefit of his thoughts, and
so save the public from our lucubrations.
Adjournment of Congress.
On Monday last the Ilouse of Representatives passed
a resolution to terminate the present session of Congress
on the 16th of August.
Ballotting Extraordinary.
The Charleston Courier says that the number of ballottirigs
at the lato Baltimore Convention, being 49,
were unprecedented. In 184-1, there were only 9 On
that occasion, to use tho words of the Richmond Whig,
Mr. Van Buren was tho favorito of the majority; but
to defeat him the two-thirds rule was adopted On
tho first ballot, he received 151, Cass 81. On the second,
Van Buren 127, Cass 95. On tho 7th ballot,
Van Buren 99, Cass 123. On the 8th, Van Buren 104,
Cass 114. Polk 44. This was tho first timo Polk's
nainc was mentioned. The .Now York and Virginia
delegations retired and consulted together?and on the
next ballot, Mr. Polk was nominated. In 1848 there
were only 4 ballots. On the 1st, Cass 125, Buchanan
55, Woodbury 53. On tho 4th, Cass 173, Woodbury
35, Buchanan 33.

Ex-Governor Jones of Tennessee.?It appeals
that this worthy gentleman, whose gusty '1 ; i|
oratory occasionally disturbs the U. S. Senate, is ' - J
not so anxious of being President or Vice Prcsi- ''-J
dent of the United States, as to be the hangman
of all the enemies of the Union! This is
the ottice lie sets up his claim to in his recent ,^|
speech in New York, at the last anniversary of
the birth-day of Mr. Clay. "We copy from it as '"
follows: ]
" He said here what he said in the south, and ; ^ \
lie wished to be known in every portion. of the >.
Union, that he had a scorn ineffable, withering
and eternal, for those miserable demagogues, ^
north and south, who seek to foist themselves in- : 3
to power upon sectionalities. If he had the
power he would damn them (politically) so low, '\.M
that the thunder of the last resurrection could v $j|
not rouse them. j
He would hang, if he had the power, every |J
man opposed to this Union. Hang them as ;^l
high as Haman. The office ho would seek j
would be high above that of President?that of " !*1
hangman io such traitors."
Bravo, Mr. Jones ! These are fine, fair words, ^
truly ; and many a man will read thein over with :
Hnnroval. But von are not the best of counsel- - i
lore, oven if you would make, as you say,agreat ^
hangman. At this moment you are up to your H
eyes in an intrigue with the friends of Gen. \
Scott in order to make yourself 'Vice President.
Who are these friends? Look around you. . *
Why, almost at your side in the Senate sits the - j
northern Scott leader?the man who has declared ]
that there is a 44 higher law" than the Constitu- ... - *5
tion?that man is Seward. Greely is for Scott *
with all the ardor of his nature; so are Thad- 1
deus Stevens and Wra. F. Johnston?and so are '
nil men who act with them against the South.
Do you know, sir, that but for these men there
would have been no Secession party in the South, . and
really no Abolition party of the North ?
And yet you are now eager and willing to unite -; -'js
with these men to put into the Presidency a man j
like Gen. Scott who is the notorious choice of eve- .jj
ry Northern whig agitator. Sir, when you begin J
to^hang -the foes of the Union, you will find the ?J
first\ictims among the friends '
