WWPOSE0 PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. bsj. The undersigned, delegates elect to a Convention proposed to be held for the formation of a Provisional Government for_ California, respectfully submit to their fellow-citizens the following statement, explanatory of the canses which hive hitherto delayed the assembling of the

Convention, and, in their judgment, would render a still further postponement highly expedient and proper

The first meeting in favor of a Provisional Government was held in the Pueblo de San Jose, and on tho 11th of December, 1848. That meeting recommended that the Convention should assemble on the second Monday of January, 1849. The second meeting was held on the 2!st of December, 1848.

some immediate organization, recom mended Monday, the 5th day erf* March, 1849, as the day tor the Convention to meet. The question of time was delib erately considered by the San Francisco meeting, and it was believed that a suffi eiently late date hod been fixed upon these views the people of Sonoma, %v t^bramento city, Calloma. and several places concurred, and electcd their delegates accordingly but the people of

Monterey, equally impressed with the importance of speedy action, yet con sidered the day proposed entirely too early, and for reasons very fully presented by their corresponding committee, recommended the first of May as the earliest practicable day for tl»§ ,meeting of the Convention.

The corresponding committee of San Francisco, persuaded that sufficient time would not be afforded to the people of the southern portion of the country to hold meetings or select delegates and have them in attenuance, and desirous to secure a cordial co-operation in the great measure proposed, agreed to the change of the day of meeting, and published a card to that effect in the public newspapers but this concurrent recommendation of San Francisco and Monterey was not concurred in by any other districts that have been heard from.— Thus some of the districts adhered to the first named day, and others prepared to attend on the first day of May, while, in consequence of the recent inclement weather and difficulty of intercommunication, the proposition of holding a Convention has scarcely reached the southern portion of California,and precludes the possibility of delegates from that

uartor being in attendance. The unhave met at this place, and, after much deliberation, have come to the unanimous opinion that, until every portion of California shall have a fair and equal opportunity of being represented in a General Convention, it would be inexpedient to attempt to carry into effect the measures proposed and, in view of all the circumstances, they deem it most advisable and respectful to those who have honored them with their confidence and entrusted them with such high duties, to resign the power dulegutcd to

them, and to recommend that,"in the!

fornia, new clcctions should bo held in

estimation of the undersigned, the most'

accessible point to the greatest portion of

Tho day now proposed for the assembling of the Convention the undersigned aro persuaded is the most appropriate, since by that time tho subject will be fully discussed, much important information will be obtained touching the re* sources, mineral wealth, and agricultural advantages of tho country, and tho people having returned from the nlacer, not only will every portion of California be to a certainty represented, but almost every citizen will have an opportunity to express his wishes at the ballot-box, and participate in this all-important public movement. And oven more than this, considering tho unprecedented increase of the population of California, pouring in from every ocean point, as well as by every avenue of inland communication, the number of the inhabitants will be such as to require the immediate forma* tion of a State constitution, and entitle us to a richt to be admitted into that Un ion of federal States, which we trust will ever be "distinct as the billows, but one as the wave and, looking to this probable event, the undersigned would further recommend that the delegates elect* ed to the proposed Convention in August should be vested with full power to frame a State Constitution to bo submitted to the people of California.

Two others of the party made their escape. They were killed by the Indians. They were at Preston Texas, on the South bank of Red River, opposite the mouth of Falls Washita and when there, they said all they wanted was, an Indian fight. It appears they got one.

I had great pain in my left side, upon which 1 could not lay in bed, and in the morning my cough was so severe that I found it very paintul to throw up the phlegm which gathered in great quantities on my lungs, when fortunately 1 bought of your agent in this place, one bottle of your Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, which so much relieved me that 1 continued using it until now. I have used six bottles, and am happy to tell you' that my pains are removed, niv strength returned, my sleep is undisturbed and sweet, and I feel perfectly well. I can now follow my daily avo cation without being afflicted with that painful hacking, weakening cough, and I firmly believe that to your medicine, under the blessings of Providence, I am indebted for this great change, and am very happy to subscribe tnvself,

Its superiority above al I other linimoMS is proven byjthe mirscoiou* cures it performs, and by the great and constantly increasing demand there is for this valuable Arabian Preparation. The A rabs, from tfieit winder* lug mode of life, are often afflicted wjtli distressing1, diseases, and also sttbject to accidents of tHe mostf severe kind rCOrtsrqaemly they would i^sira sill external application of great virtue to eflact curei This alone must render a skfllftil compound off healing properties a mritter of vital importahce toH tknusw and the well known ears and attention^ tthey hfstow upon their horses, no noted for beauty!, and spfed, must nlao greatly increase their desint^ to possess a really valttable Uniment.

It ia well known that tlw Arahiatte sressaloosp students of botany, and the fertile and beautiful J" region which skirts the Desert al*onnds with rare plants and odorous woods, whence they procure thoseguow and fragrant balsams of which thi* m* comparable liniment is composed^ It (has accomplished the nitkt extrao^dinkry euros of rheumatism.

Mr. H. G. Farrell: Dear Sir—Having in my lifetime owned manv hortxe, I am pretty well acquainted with the diseases they are street to, as well as the remedies usually applied, and must aay that I never used or heara of any medicine that was naif so good as your Linimant. I would recommend it with the greatest confide nee to all who have horses. Ineyshouldalwayshaveitonkaad, so that it con Id be applied immediately in ease of accident, and thereby save the life of many a valuable horse I have used it in the very worst oases of sweeney with entire success also splint, sprains* bruises, galls, wounds, sore eyes, &.c. Two most extraordinary cures I must mention in particular. I got up very early one morning, and oft looking into my pasture discovered my favorite horse limp tng and dragging a rail after him! On going up close to him, to my amazement and horror, tlio a»l^t.Waf

in his stomach, between the

flanks, to the depth of eignt inches, and so tightly that it took three hard pulls to extricate it otter which the poor animal suffered the utmost agony. I never dreamed of his recovery, and supposed that no human hand could save him. The well known virtues of your Liniment Unshed on my mind, and it was immediately applied. By tho, next day I had the gratification of witnessing the commencement of his recovery, and in six aays thereafter I rode him to Peoria, as sound as ever* and would not take «150 for him now. The other case Was this. One of my men got hts leg in the teeth of a thrashing machine, arid it was only by a mirncln that hs was not instantly killed.

His 1^ was horribly mutilated, though no bones were broken. Your Liniment was applied, and in five davs he went to work again. He fully believes that but for your Liniment lie would never have recovered. With every wish for the succeaa ot the Arabian Liniment, am truly votli's, ... HEJNRYs: AIKEN.

FiRREim Please send mo by tho Ijearer another dollar bottle of your Arabian Linij ment, which will be enough, I think, to completo Iy cure mv dear child. I have often thought that 1 would ait down and fttrnish you with an account of my poor child's situation, so that you mfeht make it public, find thus be the cause.of as much, benefit to some others of my fellow beings as if has been to me. She laid for six months without? the slightest power or control of her limbs what-y ever, and sunered the most agonizing pain tint greater portion of tile time. Even her neck was' rfectlv 8ti/r, and so painful that she could'noti ar to have her head mov«l in the least. Thua was she for six moftths, during all which time.Wn had to carry her about on a chair when whe wished? to change her place. We hwl thmi of the hesf physicians in the whole country attending her. but thev could do her no good. Finally, brie o* them the last to give her up) said he could do noi more for her. nnd that, as I wished to get your Li lment, I could d'olb, adding that lie Knew it was *L*n '"isht'WHp her. I got it accordingly,1 ana she began to recover after a few applications.: bhe can now use ol! of her limbs freely, and can walk tolerably well. We are now applying it thespine, which the doctors aay is the seat of the disease, and we expect one bottle more to curet her as well asever she was. We have used it mat*: for sprains, bruises, bums and,cuts, with Hko success. Hoping that thisgreat rfimcdy will be spread^ over the whole country. I am yours truly,
