WASHINGTON, Nov. 80.

The Union of this morning has an article on
the union of the democracy, in which it makes
the following remarkable assertions:
elf the Baltimore platform had expressly APP
proved or disapproved Of the compromise, the
nominees would have met certain defeat.
"The friends Of the measure of adjustment
never had sufficient strength to select Presi-
dent; and this fact ought to impress itself with
force upon the minds of democrats who claim
from the administration more consideration to-
wards the original advocates of the compromise
than they are supposed to have secured"
Saturday has beer fixed upon for the holding
Of caucus Of the members here for the nomin-
alton Of Speaker and Clerk.

THE GRAND RIVER TIMES.
TELEGRAPH NEWS.
New ORLEANS, Nov. IS.


News FROM CALIFoRNIA.--The steamship,
the United States, from Aspinwall, has arrived
at this port, bringing California dates to the LIST
inst.
The steamship Illinois left Aspinwall, for
New York, on the 18th inst, with s 900, 900
in gold dust and one hundred and fifty passen-
gers.
The news is but Of little Importance.
The most absorbing questions are the pro-
posed removal of the capitol and the election
of u. S. Senator, to take his seat in 1855,
The principal candidates are Messrs. Broderick,
Hartford, and Gwinn.
Two steamers, the American Eagleand Stock
ton, had exploded, killing two persons.
The mining news is interesting, and the mi
ners, generally, were prosperous. Many new
placers had been discovered.
Emigration TO Australia had ceased
The Sonora fillibusterng expedition attracted
much attention, and there was but little sympa-
thy for it amongst the people. 1t would, prob
ably prove an utter failure.
The complimentary dinner to John Mitchell
took place on the 25th October, and Mitchell
sailed on the lst November, en- route for New
York.
The total amount of treasure shipped from
San Francisco, on the LIST November, by both
routes, was $2,750,000, mostly for New York.
The Nicaragua steamer, it was reported, had
on board rather more than million.
Her news from California, Sandwich Islands,
and other portions of the Pacific, is interesting.
The fine building known as the San Francis
co Hotel bad been entirely consumed by fire.
serious riot is reported to have occurred at
place called Martinez, in which three Span
iards were killed.
Trade in San Francisco, and indeed through
out California, is represented as exceedingly
dull, owing TO the immense stock Of goods on
hand ; and all articles except flour have met
with further decline. Flour, however, is quo
ted as being firmly held. The crops were turn
ing out fine.

Hy@ Our friend MOORE, of the Warrenton
News, assumes to justify the Inconsistency"
with which we said he was acting, in favor
ing legislation for the suppression of the IL
quor traffic and at the anne time publishing
the advertisements of liquor merchants and
also editorially calling attention to them, by
the following plea:
We puHEh a newspaper, one Of the objects of
which is,St0&erve as an advertising medium for
those who wish to avail themselves ofits columns
Therefore we feel that we could not, whatever U
private views may be, refuse an advertisement .
any business of the Country, so long as said adyer-
tisement contains no language indecent or profane.
And further, we conceive it to be q duty we cannot
justly omit, to call attention to such advertisements
as wei as others, when they pay tho same price.
We give the Editor the benefit of the above
grouse, and only make the simple remark,
that some people may not carry private prin-
ciple and conscience into business relations,
and yet feel a sort of justification in it. IT'S
curious, however.
The News gives the Weldon Patriot Editor
a hard rap, by telling the following anecdote
on him:
A certain newspaper editor went to Petersburg
and, dropping into a store, was asked if he would
not walk into the back room and take a little good
old French. He politely declined, but at the same
time told the merchant that, if he felt like making
a present, he might put him up a jug fall of SOM
of his best, which c~ourtesey would be duly appreci
ated, DC, &c. The merchant accordingly sent OF
and got a jug, had it filed withthe bestof the "goo,
cretur" and our editorial friend took it home wit
him. We have looked among the editorials of GU
friend since but find no public Acknowledgement {
the reception of the jug and contents. Now, VIVA
does the Spirit of the Age think of thaR
What do we Mink? Why we boldly sa!
no wonder such an Editor is opposed to pr
hibiting the sale of the critter it would max
it ~inconvenient to bestow such presents. "
understand the Patriot editor no~w-hypostdt
couy, he is opposed to prohibition and tt
News is speaking in a Pickwickian sens
when he calls attention to liquor advertis
ments-it's only in the way of business.
