Later from Yreka,

We have received an extra of the Yrcka Union
dated Tuesday, July 6th 10 A NJ. The extra
ed the killing OF the miner by the Deputy Sheriff
at that place, nor to any acts Of violence against
the editor Of that paper, subsequent to the issu-
ance of the extra Of Sunday, the 9th. From this
fact, as seems from an explanation which appears
in the San Francisco Bulletin of Saturday. made
by Mr.. Coryell from whom we derived our intor-
nation through Mr.. Gridley we infer that the ex-
citement in lreka was not prolonged beyond Sat-
urday night or Sunday morning. Mr.. Coryell in
forms the Bulletin that the information communi-
Gated to us was derived from rumor before he left
Yreka; and it is possible it may have been some
what exaggerated. Mr. Coryell stopped but tif-
teen minutes in Sacramento on his way to Stockton,
and his information was obtained by us from his
friend Mr.. Gridley--with whom we had but a
brief conversation Sac. Union, July IA.

"A committee having been appointed by
the National Convention to inform Mr..
Buchanan of his nomination, he made the
following reply:
Mr.. Buchanan's Letter of Acceptance,
WHEATLAND, near Lancaster, June l6, '56.
GENTLEMEN
| have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your communication ofthe 9th
instant, informing me officially ofmy nomina-
ton by the Democratic National Convention
recently held at Cincinnati, as the democratic
candidate for the office of President of the L.
S. shall not attempt tc express the grateful
feelings which | entertain towards my demo-
cratic fellow citizens for having deemed me
worthy of this the highest political honor
on earth-an honor such as the people Of no
other country have the power to bestow.-
Deeply sensible of the vast and varied respon-
sibility attached to the station, especially at
the present crisis in our affairs have carefully
refused from seeking the nomination either
by word or by deed. Now that it has been
offered by the democratic party, accept it
with difidence in my own Abilities but with
humble trust that in the event of my cleo
ton may be enabled to discharge my duty
in such manner as to alay domestic strife,
preserve peace and friendship with foreign
nations; and promote the best interests of the
republic.
In accepting the nomination, need scarce
ly say that | accept in the same spirit the
resolutions constituting the platform Of prin-
ciples erected by the Convention. To this
platform intend to confine myself through
out the canvass believing that have no right,
as the candidate of the democratic party, by
answering inerrogatories to present new and
different issues before the people.
1t will not be expected that in this answer
| should specially refer to the subject of each
of the resolutions; and shall therefore confine
myself to the two topics now most promi-
nently before the people.
And, in the first place, l cordially concur in
the sentiments expressed by the Convention
on the the subject of civil and religious liberty.

tolerance towards one class Of American citi-

not be adopted in the choice of U. 8 Senator.

The Manifesto of the Radical Democracy of our
State, protesting against the astounding apostacy
and recreancy of part Of their former associates,
as evnced in the last Soft" State Convention held
to choose Delegates to Cincinnati, is given in our
columns to-day. 1t will be found clear, calm,
manly and truthful in its statement of the doctrines
which the Democratic party of our State protested
uDitedly to hold, down to the "Hunker" and
"Barnburner" split at Syracuse in lS47, and which
the Radical section still proclaimed and insisted on
with partial and occasional defections down to the
last State Convention at Syracuse wherein the tide
walters and postal agents Federal Adminisra-
ton took bodily possession, and compelled the party
to take position at war not only with its past his
tory, but with every instinct Of selfrespect and
decent sense of shame. There ia not a citizen OF
NeW-York who was ever termed Barnburner"
who will not feel the force Of every line Of this
Manifesto, and confess to himself that if he is not
be ought to be enrolled among the silent thousands
in whose behalfit was put forth. Even John Coch-
rane must feel, though he may not admit that the
Manifesto is entirely right in observing that, if the
doctrines newly protested by the "Softs' are
sound they have no need and no business to send
Delegates to Cincinnati at all-there being already
a Delegation elected to that Convention by the
lizards" who will represent fully and faithfully
the sentiments and views which the last "Soft"
Convention has proclaimed to be those Of the New
York Democracy.
This Manifesto is strsDg in every part, and not
least in its signatures. Among them will be recog
nized several State Officers, Members Of Congress
and State Senators of former years, with Electors
of President and others, whose names presented as
candidates have given strength to the Democratic
part in its palmiest days No observer of the po-
litical history of our State will deny that Abjah

other sgners of this address, have for years been
recognized as among the most earnest, active, eff.
Gent reliable standard bearers Of the great party
which rallied around jackson and Van Buren, and
gave the vote of New-York to Polk and to Pierce.

what it will be ,cith0W them, should it decide to

Federal Union, "to establish Justice and secure

reast at all for giving to the clause above quoted
the narrow, technical marrowless construction in
sisted on by Judge MLean, while the whole

forms part, seem to demand more generous

In the conclusions of Judge MLean, that Con-

Territory, and that such Territory must remain
"free until the people thereof shall form State
Government, " We fully and heartily concur. But
as to Slavery being domestic relation, over
(which the Federal Government can exercise no
"control," We can only assent to it as essentially
qualified by the principles we have already laid
down. Poygamy in Utah is ga domestic rela-

cisiDg that power at particular time and in par

to open the door to legalization and impuniy for

Territories. Those Territories exist, not for the
