'
Democrats of California have labored most assid
uously, to show that the Knownothing party of this
State and of the Union is mere fag-end, q wing,
scouting party, of the Republican party that never
yet legitimately baptized and registered for the
turf. The State Journal has spewed out column OF
column of its sanderous text for the little interior
fellows to carp from in the grand joint effort to show
the Kns up to be pure Abolitionsts Yet, ne
sooner did occasion offer to test the comparative pro
clivities of the two parties for eesolsm than tht
great Democratic State Journal, with its amiablt
proprietor heading off the column, wheels into line
and helps to elect freesoil ticket for the CITY O
Sacramento and aids and abets similar democratic
movement under like circumstances in two Other
California cities What falling off was there, from
the loud professions of national devotion on which sc
many choice sentences had been wasted And, nc
sooner had the California Democracy done the dirty
work of the freesoilers, than Immediately the party
press while yet the small fry were rejoicing over the
victory O turned about to renew the charges against
the Knownothngs afliation with freesoilers and
misunderstanding to inspire sectional party
with confidence, at the same time and distract with
jealousy national party that had one hand on the
throat each of Broderck and Gwn.
These California Democrats would sooner see the
State government pass into the keeping of the Re
pubcans than remain longer in charge of the nation
AL American party, that threatens to cleanse the
State of the last vestige of spos party that has
so long preyed upon its dearest interests-batten-
ing on the public treasury while it poisoned the pub
lie morals Help the Republicans into public places,
and turn the Knownothings out and the prospect
would then be good for the smallest possible slide
back into democratic hands but, give the State one
more term of Knownothing government, and these
sound democratic freeso voters are we'll convinced
that their shows bad one, for ever again getting
taste of the spoils
We were reminded of the ideas above given by
meeting with the following item from the Ohio States
man, edited by COL Sam Medary, the ablest demo-
cratic editor in the Union and President pro tem of
the Cincinnati Convention. Mcdary wishes, come
what may, to keep down seconalism and sectionists
he has always labored to that purpose, and some
years ago went with the democratic and whig mem
bers of Legislature, into joint caucus, by which
the balance of power held by the freesoers was
broken up, and the legislative favors divided between
the two national parties. That was national con-
duct for you! Old Sam is on that-and lately
when the Republicans of Ohio attempted to nsinu-
ate themselves into American Councils to subvert the
American organization, and when they so signally
failed, and the national element of Americanism
stood forth bold and defiant, read the old bricks
statement of it, and compare it with the spirit
eyinced by the loudmouthed preachers of democracy
in California
"We informed that the KrowNohing Lodges
throughout Ohio holding elections, decide to which
organization they will adhere-ihe boiling Spooner and
Ford party the regular Nationals malshalled under
the Presidency of T. c. Ware, Esq. We learn from
eral genl men, well advised in the premises, that in
many counties where it hoped Mr.. Fillmore would be
repudated by the Councils the order is the contrary
almost unanimous for the Ware organization. In one
large and leading county, in particular carried heretofore
by the knowNohngs ever since their organic iton and
where the antiFilmore schismatics hoped make
cessfu stand, assured there will hardly be single
Council if one in which the Philadelphia nomination and
platform will not be ed."-Oho statesman.
