Democratic /!

The San Francisco Citizen says that since
the Locofoco defeat in California, it is current
" reported that the Governor intends to con-
vene the Legislature to elect United States
Senator in the place Of DR.. Gwin. The official
journal had even intimated so much. After
quoting the constitution Of the State to show
that his authority to convene does not vest in
the old Legislature the power to elect and re-
marking on the great amount Of money which
has already been squandered in the controversy
between Gwin and the New York "Short Boy
he goes on to say:
The complete rout their forces have met with
have induced them to fall back upon this extra
session. as their last and only hope; and they
would undoubtedly have it called, If these const
tutional questions did not stand in the way. But
even il the old members of the Legislature were
convened, we surmise, that Senator of the Amer
lean party would be elected, and thus would they
be laid permanently upon the shelf; for we can
assure them the complexion of the last Legislature
has changed, materially changed, since the ad-
journment.
Should the Governor see ut to attempt this
rash act we predict he will convene the newly
elected members of the Legislature, and thereby
hasten the final end of California Democracy which
the natural course Of events is rapidly bringing
about"

Seward on the stump.

Senator Seward, somewhat against his custom,
has taken the stump In New York in behalf of the
Black Republican anti-slavery movement. He
made two-hour speech at Albany on Friday
evening last--a speech that breathed nothing but
treason TO the Constitution and Union and the most
cndish hostility to the South and Southern insti-
buttons. As remarked by the Herald, "there
must be something in the wind" sure enough,
when Seward abandons, even for a moment, his
fayoritc policy Of secret wire-working, and boldly
makes his appearance on the hustngs. Here
toforen IL says, he has been the invisible arch
agitator, never seen anywhere, but working every
where, through the agencies of his big and little
villains, runners, tide-waiters, and pipe-layers.
Like the old rat In the fable, his policy has been
to keep out of harms way. But the present agi.
tation has unearthed him" &C. "0f one thing,
Il continues, 1--WE may be assured-when the arch
agitator takes the eld his stakes are directly in
volved in the contest and there Is some doubt OF
the result" This, we suspect, Is the true reason
why he has made his public appearance in the can
vass in New York at the present time. He sees
something in the signs ofthe times which promises
TO be fatal to the success Of his long-cherished
Abolition scheme and TO his own hopes ofpolitical
promotion, and deeming Il no longer safe or pru-
dent TO rely entirely upon his big and little vii
ainsr he considers It necessary TO step boldly into
the ring himself This we regard Q significant
sign. The reorganization Of the old Wing party
at the North upon O basis OF national p[inciples,
and their expressed determination to n pose sec
tionasm and fusionism in all their forms have dis
turbed the equanmity Of the areh-agitator, and
caused him to crawl out from his hiding place, and
make desperate attempt to bolster up the falling
fortunes Of himself and his cause. We repeat that
the various movements Of national character
which have recently manifested themselves in
severaf'of the Northern States have animated the
friends Of Union and the Constitution with new
hopes, and produced considerable fear and depres.
sion in the minds Of the Abolition fanatics and in
cendaries The Conservative men at the North
have only to remain firm and organize themselves
properly, and the result win be such as every
patriot in the land will heartily rejoice over.
The speech OF Senator Seward Ia only repeti-
ton and rebash Of what he has frequently dis
gusted the country with before. He offers nothing
new, but contents himself with reitersting his old
thread-bare notions about the equality Of all men
and all races He calls the shareholders Of the
South privileged class and argues that the en-
istence Of such people under a Republican form
OF IL fatal TO its continuance, and that
il ought TO be done away with, u we would pre-.
serve our institutions, and our liberties intact and
unimpaired.--Rich. Wig

CANTON, N. Y, Oct. 1G.-Joln Van Buren, ad-
dressed large meeting at Canton this evening.
Whilst he strongly dsapproved Of the passage Of
the Nebraska bill, he undertook to show that a
faithful execution of its provisions would keep
Kansas free. He commended the administration
of Franklin Pierce. He referred to the national
position of the Democratic party in opposition 10
the Know-Nothings, and said that the security and
peace Of the country depended on upholding the
Democratic party. He denounced fusion In all its
shapes, and pronounced Mr.. Seward a mere polti.

with strong appeal 70 the Democracy fist Law

burning of Greytown was an achievement worthy Of
Napoleon; that the shameless backing out from

perfection Of foresight and courage; that its dou
