The PinehlsclKs.

mere handful Of faetionsts led on by
the pinchbeck Democratic Globe. paper
that refused TO support the Democrat,
nominee for Senator from that district last
winter, continue their attacks upon one OF
our Democratic Senator's and his friends, for
the purpose of creating divisions and dissen
sions in the party. The vile SANDERS origi.
mated BY this hireling crew in the employ OF
E. selfish politicians, find ready echo in the
II. N and Republican prints Of the State,
who chuckle with delight at the prospect OF
the division and consequent destruction OF
the Democratic party in California. Thee
lean and hungry" descendants of Cassius-
pretend to be the particular friends of Mr.
Buchanan's administration. ana yet they
defame and vilify those who have ever been
and still continue to be his firm and unwav
ering supporters. They profess to be gov
erned alone by their devotion to principles,
and still thrust men forward for the sup
port Of the Democracy, and denounce those
as opposed 20 the National administration
who do not join with them in uPholdng GER
tain men and denounciug others. This is
the programme ,halked out by the boiling
Vigilante Globe, sustained by purchased
| tools in the interior, aud encouraged by the
( Ki-Yi and Republican press.
Will the Democracy Of California heed
the appeals of these conspirators' Will
they permit the spoilshunting politicians
of San Francisco, aided by their boiling
and pinchbeck presses, to dictate opin-
ions TO them: Are Democrats the slaves OF
factions, or free men, capable of forming
their own opinions Is it for professional
| place hunters to dictate to the people, who
shall be their servants, or is it proper for
the people to assemble in their primary ca
pretty, express their own views and choose
their pubhc,seryants
We should Ike to rave tae- epinch becl. dem;
! ocrats inform us wfen they were constituted
! the laboratories for the manufacture of pub
| lie o4cers and when they were intrusted with
the sole power to speak the public sentiment
of California? We have always believed
! the Democracy couli select whom they
! pleased for their servants, and those who
! have undertaken to dictate to them, will
find them competent to form their own opfn-
ions.

Later from,hc Northern Coast.

BY the steamer Goiah, which arrived in
San Francisco on the 24th, inst. from ports
on the northern coast, we have papers from
Crescent City to the 10Th of May, and Union,
Humboldt Bay, to May 23d.
MURDER AT JACKSONVILLE. O t An
old gentleman named Lane, living six or
eight miles from jacksonville o. T., was
murdered recently, by having his head
split open with an AK. He was supposed to
have ten or twelve thousand dollars in money
in the house, which was doubtless the cause
of the murder. 1t is not stated whether
the villains obtained the money,
A CAUTION TO THE SAN FRANCISCO
CHARITABLE.-So Some weeks ago u flaming
account was published in the newspapers OF
one man having attempted to roast another
alive at Crescent City. The Herald of that
place now says Of the matter:
We learn that the statement we published
week or two since, 10y man named Mark
ThoMa3. charging man named Brown and
another, on Sucker Creek, with throwing
him into the fire, was an entire faisehood
The facts were, that Thomas, Brown and
another, were all on spree, and Thomas
ran against Brown aud fell in the fire. So
far from Brown throwing him in. he was
the first to take him out, and afterwards
paid him every attention, buying him med
icnes and giving him money This MIA
/ Thomas has gone to San Francisco. on n
purse made up by the charity of cur citizens
/ and we caution the people there not to be-
/ lieve his made up stories.
( MIGRATION OF CHINAMEN.-The China
men who tlocked (hy way of Crescent City,
/ TO sucker Creek, Althouse Greek, and other
branches OF Illinois river, are being driven
out of thar section, are now, we learn,
coming over the Siskiyou and working down
the Klamath Humboldt Times
RAINS AT HUMBOLDT. Heavy rains have
recently fallen in Humboldt county; in con-
sequence of which the crops of every des-
| cription are looking we'll, and promise to
yield as much as any previous year.
MINING on SALMON RIvER.-Mining on
the main Salmon i paying well The Hum-
boldt Times say that the miners generally
are making good wageS-say from four to
ten dollars day.
The MYSTERIOUS WRECK AT GOLD BLUFF.
The hull of the wreck that recently went
ashore at Gold Bluff is imbedded in the sand
on the beach. At low tide she is out of the
water entirely, and persons can approach
her with dry feet; but sheis still bottom up,
and the deck so much buried in the soft
sand that it is impossible to make out what
vessel she was. She is judged to have been
a craft of three hundred tons or over. She
has n lumber port in the stern, and is
slowed tull, aud from what they are able to
see, the cargo is square timber and plank
They have not been able 70 reach the cabin
or forecastle, and cannot know whether
there are any bodies in her. From the po-
sition of the lumber in her, the cabin must
have been built on the main seok, and il
has been carried away. Her. sheathing, or
IA greater portion of it, is what. is known as
yellow metal. 1t seems that this craft i

Letter from MIR. Granger.

The following letter from our fellow
townswan L. c. Granger Esq bears its own
explanation, and wilD be read with interest
by the Democracy:
0itovILLE, May 9th 1857.
GEO. II CRosEwrE ESQ,
Dear SU--in order to place myself in n
position not to be misunderstood, without
any idea however, that it would be of any
particular inter est to any other person than
myself, wish to state that my views and
sympathies have always accorded entirely
with the Democratic party, except that upon
personal reasons | cast my vote last
fall for friend and acquaintance, John G..
Fremont
With the excellent, prudent, and patriotic
administration of Mr. Buchanan, am en-
trely satisfied; and believing that the same
craftsmanship will continue to characterize
his administration, | conceive it to be my
duty to give it my humble sympathy and
support The late call for n Republican
State Convention, to which hear my name
is appended was not made with my know
! ledge or consent.
TRUSTING this explanation may be satsfac
tory to you, as it is to myself, and thanking
you for your past Kindness to nc
| am very truly yours

if the conspirators do not succeed IN con
trolling the Democratic State Convenuon'
that they will bolt the ticket. and bring out
an Independent one, that will receive the
support of the Fillmore men. This explains
he reason why the conspirators candidate
is travelln, over the State in company with
the present Know Nothing Governor -
"Yubar" is evidently Il Know Nothing
whom the Governor let into their secret
moves on his recent visit, and he has blab-

elected GOV johnson in 1865, and it is prop
er that he should assist them now. Do the

FRoM NICARAGUA Coming up from
Marysville on the stage last Tuesday, we
fell in conversation with Mr. Lane, who
has just returned from Nicaragua, where
he had been in Walkers army for nineteen
months. He gave us some interesting as
well as thrilling incidents of life with Gen
Walker, and said that even in his desperate
stu alton, he would not leave the country
were a ladder let down from Heaven. and
he had chance to climb it. Walker knows
no such word rs fail, and when Mr. Lane
LETT ire told him (Walker) that he had no
chance, as he would soon be starved out ,
when Walker, with a smile and an air Of
confluence, said that ''in less than a month
he should hase undsputed possession of the
whole five States, with his flag floating to
the breeze over the capitol Of Nicaragua +"
Mr.. Lane thinks that ere this, Walker and
his gallant band have been entirely cut to
pieces. The news by the next steamer is
anxiously looked for

all the practicable portion OF the route
