4 CALIFORNIA RoNANCR.-A MARRIAGE on
rhE DAGuRRREorYPR PLAE.-Letters have
been received from a young and beautiful
lady OF Philadelphia, dated at San Francisco,
and announcing her marriage on the second
day Of her arrival in that city. The circum-
stances attending this marriage are;suficient-
ly interesting and characteristic to claim a
passing notice.
/. appears that som years ago an acquain-
sance of the young lady now Just married
was in California, where he met the BRIDE
groom, who was and is a prosperous citizen
Of the Pacific capital. In the course of their
intercourse the young lady was named bv
her Philadelphia acquaintance, and a wish
was expressed by the Californian, who was a
bachelor, that he could obtain such q person
~forawife. The Philadelphian returned home,
a correspondence ensued, daguerreotypeswe were
exchanged, andfnally the Californian sent on
a sum Of money, inviting the young lady to
come to the land Of promise Nothing 10th
TO change her residence as we'll as her name,
with Inc true native American grit she set
out, arrived safely in San Francisco, and two
DAYS after was led to the altar. This is one
Of the romances Of real life which promises
= happy termination and we have the honor
Of wishing the married pair every possible
felicity and good fortune.

but he would not vote for Pierce. He would
vote for Buchanan. And yet this 'democrat"
went with the black republicans in this State
last fall and voted for Anson p. MorT'a for
Governor. Should Mr.. Buchanan be nom'-
pa,ed, these slanderers of President Pierce
will turn their denunciations upon him. They
are determined not to be satis6ed-their SYM
pa,hies are with the opposition, and there they
had better go, instead of hanging as dead
weight upon the party while pretending they
are democrats. We want no better man than
President Pierce He has been proved and
found equal to any emergency. No man can
put his finger upon measure of his admins
tration at variance with sound democratic prn-
ciple. Mr.. Buchanan would not ask for a
brighter and fairer record than President
Pierce has established. We have the strong
est reason for believing that the measures and
policy of the present administration meet with
his earnest approval. Then let not demo-
crat be moved from his integrity by the slam
ders and revilings of these enemies in disguise.

The above committee were authorized 10

Mr.. Dixie, Chairman of the Executive Com
miitee, reported list of premiums, which re-
port was accepted. On his motion, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:

- That able and influential democratic
journal, the Pennsylvania, says :-''lt is a
gratifying fact that throughout the length and
breadth of the confederscy the democratic par
ty is not only cordially united upon the great
principles of the Nebaska law, but that they
are equally united and cordial in the determi-
nation TO make the maintenance of these prin-
ciples the issue in the presidential election.
No man who is equivocal or tender-footed or
uncommitted on the Nebraska question, can
receive the democratic nomination at Cincn-
natl. In the convention which makes the
nomination there will be no dodging or pre-
termitting the issues rendered by the opponents
of that measure. 1t is the democratic senti-
ment and the democratic purpose to plant the
party upon the compromises of the consttu-
tion in respect to sectional questions, and to
nominate and TO elect candidate who is thor
oughly identified or unreservedly committed
against the repeal of the Nebraska act or the
restoration of the Missouri restriction"

The Mock Governor of Kansas.

Robinson, the ssmock Governor elect o
Kansas, writes IRON Lawrence City, on the
l5;h of February in the following imperial
style -
Tell our friends to admit us into the I'm
ion il they can, but if they cannot do that, ge'
us through the house, if possible, and at all
events stop all appropriations fur the terrltori-
al government, state house and all. Pass no
law for the territorial government; accept US
into the Union OF nothing
Who is this important parsonage that sets
himself up as Dictator of what Congress shall
and shall not do!
Senator Jones of Tennessee, described the
man in his answer in the U. 5. Senate the
other day to Senator Wilson. Mr.. Jones
said -
al desire TO ask who is this Mr.. Charles
Robinson, who is called governor elect OF
Kansas, Does the honorable senator pretend
to know who he is Mr.. Wilson nodded as
senil The honorable senator bows his head.
Then hope he will furnish the senate bio
graphical sketch of him. / have few para
graphs in regard to that gentleman and, by
way of aiding the senator with the preparation
him. shall not resort to newspapers, but
can refer TO the records Of the country TO es-
tablish what say. Mr.. Charles Robinson
the Miles Standish of Kansas-was once a
citizen of the state of California; and what
was he therei He was the head and front,
the leader of band of desperadoes, as infa-
nous as ever dIsgraced any age or country.
He it was that organized band in the city of
Sacramento for the purpose of warning against
the rights of property there. He it was who
led that band in that ever memorable, ever TO
be execrated conflict, in which the peaceful
mayor of the city OF Sacramento, and the sher-
iff of that county, in attempting to execute the
law, were shot down. He was arrested and
put into prison, and while there was elected to
the legislature by these rufians, the squatlers,
these men essaying 10 usurp the rights OF
property. He went 10 the Legislature as the
champion of that spurious or squatter sover-
eighty in California. When the senatorial
election came on, I am informed by gentle
man well advised on the subject, instead of
standing up to the party which elected him, he
voted for the largest property holder in Cali
fornia. On the 28th of February-if am not
mistaken in the date-your Miles Standish
left the legislature, and never appeared there
again. The journals show it l had them ex-
amined last night. He left California, and
the next time that Miles Standish, dlias Mr..
Governor Charles Robinson, makes his ap-
pearance on the stage, he is at his old game,
leading on desperadoes to the violation of the
law and resistance TO the legal authorities of
the country"

New Hampshire.

We were in hopes Mr.. Wells would be
elected in New Hamsphire. But as it is, the
democrats of the Granite State are entitled TO
the thanks of the Democracy for doing so we'll
as they have done. And all the comfort the
Hindoo-republican party can get out of the re-
suit they are welcome to. The New Hamp-
shire Patriot gives the following returns of
votes for Governor =
Wells. (dem.) 3l,937-last year, Baker,
(dem.) had 27,Os6. Metcaf TX. Ny 49,
O50-last year he had 32, sos. Scattering,
2,465-last year 4,79l.
Four small towns remain to be heard from.
These towns gave last year, Baker 1873, Met
calf 20, others Is. Add these TO the votes of
candidates as given above and it will give the
following as the entire vote of the State:
Wells, 5000
Metcalf, 32,l20
Goodwin and scattering, 2,460
The Counoi1-Two democrats and three op-
position have been elected.
The Senate-Four democrats and eight op-
position.
The Patriot counts the house of representa-
fives $50 democrats, l64 all others; but is of
the opinion that MIR. Wells may possibly be
elected governor over Melcalf, as some of the
members claimed by the opposition are believed
TO be democrats.
County OGcers-The democrats have elect
"A ,bair couptu offcars in Marripac Eraftnn
Belknap, Carroll and Coos. In the other five
counties the opposition tickets are elected.
The New Haven Register has some excel
lent remarks upon the New Hampshire elec-
tion. The editor very truly says the tremen-
dous gains made by the New Hampshire de-
mocracy, show that the tide Of popular opinion
is setting with the democratic defenders Of The
constitution and the Union! One year ago
when the Nebraska bill was receiving the mos
unreasonable abuse and misrepresentation
when the political clergy we're railing from
their pulpits against popular sovereignty-anc
fanaticism was blowing all her trumpets-tht
opposition succeeded in carrying the old dem
ocratic Sevastopol of the north, and DEGRADED
it to the worst Of sectional purposes. A yea
has gone by-and notwithstanding the hypo
critical clamors about the "danger of Kansa
becoming slave state," and the noise of tn,
opposition generally, the public voice has re
covered its constitutional tone, and spoken il
terms not to be misunderstood, that the usurp
ers prepare to abandon what they secured b.
fraud one year ago. The popular vote il
largest on the democratic side-showing
gain 10 one year, and in the face of all thes,
villaiDous conspiracies, of nearly Eight Thous
and Hotesi The legislature may be held b
the skin Of their teeth--but so far as publ
ssntimcns goes the democracy have triumphed
