WALKER's WRATH. The sovereign maies
ty of the new government of Nicaragua finds
itself insulted and aggrieved by the refusal
of the United States TO recognize it. 1t has
done droll thing--nothing less than declare
the diplomatic relations between the two
countries suspended, and give our minister
to Nicaragua hint that he may so home.
The hardship of being cut off from friendly
relations with the august government of Col.
Walker is distressing one for the U. States,
but we must try and bear it. Our energies
must also be directed to the prevention of a
warlike rupture with the great Ncaraguan
republic, for there is whisper of war in the
article of the official journal of Col. Walker
and it would not surprise us, if his enterpri
sing government, after pacifying Central
America, should set off OH filibustering ex-
cursion to the United States. take Washing
ton, as it did Grenada, shoot Mr.. Marcy as
a traitor, and set up for itself in the white
house and the capitol. There is scarcely
anything such government might not un-
dertake, after what it has already DONE

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERs.-M make
great mistakes when, in their intercourse
with their daughters, they treat love and mar
riage as prohibited subject. 1t is quite Ger
tain girls do think of both; and if they speak
their thoughts to an affectionate mother, who
does not slight their feelings by cold worldly
teachings, of jealous regret at the thought OF
another becoming dearer than herself, there
is much less fear of mistakes and misery, than
when young hearts make imprudent confiden-
ces, or feed on themselves in silence and sol
itude.

QUERIES FOR A. A. SARGENT TO ANswER.-Mr.
Editor:-To the election of men devoid Of prin-
ciplc, have an insuperable objection. To
bring out the opinions Of one of the candidates
on question Of vital importance to many
"Americans," desire to prOpound through
the Democrat, the following questions to the
American candidate for the Senate-Mr. Sar-
gent:
Do you, or do you not believe the officers
elected by the American party last fall, to be
fools and knaves, (neither honest nor capable
and that vigilance committees should be organ
lied throughout the entire State to evict them,
as recommended by the Bulletin, True Califor-
nian and our party papers generally?
If elected to the Senate, will you not oppose
the payment of all printing bills, referring to
the Vigilance Committee, although contracted
in good faith, and by authority of the Governor
of our own partys election, and thus compel in
nocent third parties to lose by the acts of our
Know Nothing Executive.
Do you or do you not believe that the acts of
the Vigilance Committee in executing and ban
ishing American citizens without the form of a
trial, or the privilege of hearing, as wise, pol
itic and humane, conducting at once to our own
safety and happiness as people?
Would you if elected State Senator, violate
the oath there taken, as you have your obliga-
tion of District Attorney, by declaiming from
high places against the law, and those entrusted
with its administration, and in a public har-
rangue, sanctoning and encouraging the out
rage of that law which you were sworn to main
tain.
1t having been reported to your discredit,
that you were thus reckless Of Oath obligation
and self respect, PROFOUND the foregoing que
ries to you, that you may set yourself rightwith
every good citizen

RED Doc, Sept. IA

RED Doc, Sept. IA, 1856.
Editor of the Democrat:-Quite commotion
has been raised in town this week amongst the
few scattered remnants of Know Nothingism
left amongst us, by the formal renunciation Of
the President of the Red Dog Council, of his al
legjancc to the proscriptve and intolerant prn-
ciples of the dark lantern gentry. They accuse
the gentleman of all sorts of treason to his par
ty and unjustly so, for he gives his reasons and
they are such as every honest man must recOg-
Mise as good and sufficient He says that the
democratic party is the only conservative party,
and as such he supports it.
The democracy Of Little York township are
working silently but surely. IF every portion
Of the State will show the same front when the
ides of November come round. the republicans,
know nothngs, and all the other factions which
at present threaten to disturb the tranquility
and pcrmanency of the Union, will be buried,
so deep that they will know no resurrection
Peace and plenty, conservatism and democracy
must and will prevail. Little York township
will undoubtedly give large democratic ma
jority this election.
The mining prospects here at the present are
very favorable. Those companys which are
working here are doing remarkably well-ma-
king from eight to ten dollars per day. On the
whole Red Dog presents as favorable an aspect
as any mining town in the mountains.

of the great dead. They would make the world
believe that he was capable Of falsehood and
dssimulation. 1t is time for those who cherish
sincere respect for him to rescue his character
from sich friends. But of Mr. Buchanan it
should be well remarked, the delicate and en-
barrassing position which he occupied when he
came forward to do this act Of justice to the
character of Mr.. Clay. As he remarks in the
Lancaster letter he had never been the political
friend of Mr. Clay since he became a candidate
for the Presidency. And when he says "polit-
cal friend" he does not mean that they did not
belong to the same political party. For it is
known to all that in 1926 there was no party in
the field except the Democratic party, ard that
all the candidates, Jackson, Adams, Clay and
Crawford were all members of that party. He
simply means that he preferred Gen. jackson to
Mr. Clay as he preferred him to all the other
candidates. The bargain and sale SANDER was
started in 1925 by Chas. Kremer of Pennsylva-
MIA. 1t was not till 1927 that Mr.. Buchanan
was named as the witness who was to prove it.
Then Mr.. Buchanan expressed his astonishment
that he should be referred to-, and as Mr.. Clay
said, came promptly forward to disclaim any
knowledge of the transaction. At that time he
was acting with the wing of the party which
still adhered to Gen. Jackson, and General
jackson himself had endorsed the charge
against Mr.. Clay. 1t was therefore very deli
cate position for him, but he was a man Of sufii-
cient selErespect and moral courage to meet the
occasion, and as will be seen by the following
extract he gave a most emphatic denial to the
charge which upon erroneous information Gen..
Jackson had been led to prefer.
II owe it to my own character to make an
other observation Had lever known, or even sup
posed, that Gen Jackson believed | had been sent
! TO him by Mr.. Clay or his friends, | should have
imme eliately corrected his erroneous impress
| ion, and thus prevented the necessity for this
most unpleasant explanation When the editor
of the United States Telegraph, on the 18th of
October last, asked me, by letter, for informa-
ton upon this subject, promptly informed him
by the returning mall on the 10th of that month
that had no authority from Mr. Clay or his
! friends to propose any terms to Gen, Jackson
! in relation to their votes, nor did | ever make
such propositions and that l trusted would
be as incapable of becoming messenger upon
such an occasion, as it was known Gen. Jack
son would be to receive such message" e"-NileS'

THE GERMAN PRESS OK THE PREsDENcY.-The
Detroit advertiser publishes list from the Gin
cinnati C0namercidl of German newspapers print
ed in the United States, showing their political
position in the present canvass. The whole
number of papers given is Ill, of which "a are
set down for Fremont, SO for Buchanan and 4
undecided. The Buffalo Democrat and Welt
beuger gives fuller and more accurate list,
showing that of lis German newspapers, G2 are
for Buchanan, 43 for Fremont, and 10 neutral
or doubtful. The Buffalo Courier is informed
by German editor, we'll posted in this matter,
that the German democratic papers published
in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Buffalo,
Cincinnati Columbus and Milwaukee, very great
ly exceed in circulation those of the Republican
stamp and that only in Chicago and ST. Louis
the circulation of German Republican papers
predOminates; and that it may be assumed that
while in actual numbers the German Democrat
ic papers stand TO the German Republicans as
two to one, the actual circulation of the former
is, at least three or four to one of the latter.

the ground that the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise has been the Illisd of all our woes,
but that to restore it was impracticable. Mr..

sided at the meeting at Grass Valley, and de-
cared that the Missur Compromise must be re-
stored What says the X. N. platform on this i'm

The Mass Meeting of the Democracy in Sacra-
mento on Wednesday evening last in front OF
the Orleans is described as the largest and most
enthusiastic gathering of the people by far
which has been seen of any party during the
campaign. Several thousand persons were pres
ent. The meeting was presided over by P. Del
Ia Tore assisted by number of Vice Presi-
dents, amongst which we observe the name of
J. t. Crenshaw Esq, of this county. The Dem
ocratic Clubs of the city marched to the place
of meeting with banners and music. Stirring
and able speeches were made by Scott the NOM
inee for Congress, Latham, Dudley, Clayton and
others.

Late from Oregon.

The schooner Mathew Vassor, which arrived
at San Francisco on Tuesday night last, brings
intelligence to the 9Th of August. Many lndi-
ans had come into the Dalles. Col. Steptoe had
started on the 23d, July for the Walla-walla
with company of dragons, and intends es-
tablshing permanent post on the Walla Walla
river. near the blue mountains. Gov. Stevens
was to have met the Indians in council, on
the 25th. 1t was feared the Indians would not
meet him.
There are about 5000 Indians at the Dalles,
under the charge of agents. The friendly lndl-
ans there are much dissatisfied because the hos
tiles are received and fed and clothed by the
whites better than they are who have continued
friendly.
At Linn City, August 18th. Mr.. J. F. Thomas

Capt Hedges, the new Superintendent of In
dian Affairs in Oregon, is vigorously at work.
The lumber trade is fiourishing and increas-

Money is somewhat scarce in Oregon. A sort

Home manufactures and encouragement to
enterprise are advocated by the papers
The crops are turning ont pretty well.
Coal mining, says the Portland Standard, has
become fixed and profitable fact.
The difficulty in relation to the election re-
turns of Jackson county, for the seat of govern
ment, is as yet unsettled.
The severity of the cold during the last winter
was supposed to have so killed the wheat crop
that nothing more than one-half of the usual
and annual amount was expected to be raised
this year. But the late rains have been favor
able, and the harvest is much larger and better
than was expected. The fruit-growers are gen
orally expecting good crop, and the market is
lively So that, on the whole, we need not de-
spair, though Uncle Sam will not listen to our
earnest appeal for relief this year.

nemocrot,c State Convention.

The Democratic State Convention adjourned
sine die, on Friday last, after session of four
days The proceedings of the Convention were
marked with more than usual harmony, for,
although every one had his personal preferences,
all were willing TO abide by the decision OF the
majority. The names of the nominees of the
Convention will be found above Without
claiming that the ticket is the best that could
have been selected it is, taken as whole, better
than that presented by either Of the other par
ties, and it now becomes the duty of every
Democrat, whatever may have been his personal
preferences, to give it his hearty support.
Every county in the State was fully repre-
sented in the Convention, and the delegates
from every quarter expressed the most unquall-
fed confidence in the success of the Democracy
in the approaching contest Much may be set
down to party enthusiasm, but if we can be-
lieve the half that was told us, not county in
the State will fail to roll up majority for the
Democracy San Francisco, it has been feared
would give majority to the black Republicans,
but since the opposition has divided and split up
VI
the Democratic ticket in that county as morally
certain.
The only hope which our opponents had to
cling to, was that the Convention would get in
to difficulty on the vigilance question and break
up in row. In this, however, they have found
themselves mistaken. While the delegates were
almost to man opposed to the proceedings OF
the San Francisco mobocrats, there was an evil
dent aversion on the part of majority of them,
to throwing this fire-brand into the present con-
test. They considered that they had no right
to endanger the national ticket by making an
issue upon question which appcrtains to this
State alone. The question was not in any way
mooted, and had it been brought up, il would
doubtless have been quietly laid on the table.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Mcconnell would
have passed had it been presented in time but
the Convention, Unexpectedly TO most of the
delegates found itself adjourned, and as the
main business had been transacted, no attempt
was made to reorganze, and the question was
allowed to drop.

Col. BAKERS SPEECH.-The high reputation
enjoyed by this gentleman as public speaker
drew together on Saturday night last large
audience who listened to him with respectful at
tenton. The effort of the Col. was by no meaus
equal to those which he was wont to make in
the old whg cause. 1t wanted the spirit and
fire which in former days characterized his elo-
quence. This is perhaps to be attributed to the
fact that the Col has not yet been well broken
into the traces He has been waverng for a
long time and exclaiming ''where am l to go"
and at last has fallen into the embraces of the
Black Republicans. He was toleraby liberal
in his platform, but we think will hardly get the
mass of his allies upon it. He thinks that they
would not if iii power, meddle with the institu-
ton of slavery in the States or the District Of
Columbia, but as he is neophyte, Joshua r.
Giddings, Sumner Garrison & Co. who are older
in the cause than Col. Baker are to be regarded
as better authority-and as for the Coils. infu-
ence in the event of Fremonts election he
would no more be able to restrain the ultra
"higher law" rule than he was to beat back the
vigilantes of San Francisco. We surmise that
the Col. has no very well defined political opin-
ions at this time, save on two questions. His
deadly opposition to the vigilance committee,
and to know-nothingism is well known. Con-
sidering his implacable hostility to these two
parties, it was really painful to see him sur
rounded on the stand by the coterie who have
been well known as the advocates of both. 1t
may be truly said of Col Baker that "misfor-
tune makes us acquainted with strange bed
fellows"
In support of what we say of his want of fixed
political sentiments, we have the authority of
highly respectable gentlemen of this place for
saying that Col. Baker declared in the Stage on
the way up from Sacramento that if the demo-
cratic party had have passed resolutions at the
State Convention condemnatory of the vigilance
he would have taken the stump for the
democracy.

Each family was provided with wagon, and
