Wailst the California Democratic journals

The Black Republicans have only two
papers in the State-San Francisco Chroni-
Gle and San Jose Telegraph.
The neutral, or independent journals in
California, number eight dailies and ten
weeklies, Total, l8.
A fair proportion of the editors and pro-
prietors Of these independent journals are
Democrats, and will doubtless use their in
fuence and cast their votes for Buchanan
and Breckenridge.
Now, Whilst large plurality of newspa-
pers ib this State are ably, earnestly, and
consistently conducted, and devoted to the
support and maintenance of the time hon.
ored doctrines of Democracy-the platform
of principles adopted and promulgated by
the Democratic National Convention at Gin.
cinnati-the Democrats should see that
these, their journals, are supported and dis
tributed throughout the State, and especi.
ally should they encourage and sustain
their local papers. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that the Democracy will, at once,
make vigorous effort to insure general,
widespread circulation of their journals
throughout the State.
SHIPMENT OF WHALE OH ACROSS THE
IsrHMUs.-He are informed, by the United
States Special Inspector of Customs at this
port, says the Panama Star, that the whale
ship owners in the United States have ad.
dressed communication 30 the Secretary
of the Treasury at Washington, desiring to
know whether their oil, if shipped across the
Isthmus will be admitted into the United
States on the same terms as if sent round
Cape Horn, to which he replied that he has
givea the Special Inspector at Panama in
structioAs in reference thereto, and that the
oil, if landed here by the vessel to which it
originally belonged, can be sent across the
Isthmus, reshippsd' at Aspinwall, and en-
teredat any port in the United States on the
same terms as if taken round the Cape. No
trancfers at sea, however, are allowed, as
that would give British and French vessels
an opportunity of placing their oil on board
American vessels, and entering it in the
United States on the same terms as Ameri.
can vessels. The Inspector here is to ex-
anime all the oil thus landed at Panama,
brand the casks, and certify under seal to
its Decentralization here and reshipment at
Aspinwall. There are now five hundred
American whalers engaged in the Pacific,
and it is calculated that one-third of these
vessels will send their cargOes across the
Isthmus.
