Proffered Consolation.


1t IS great satisfaction to the Democracy
TO know that, whatever accident may hap
pen. the practical result of which shall be
the abrupt termination of their sublunary
existence, that they have the previously
proifered coincidence of their opponents, on
the predicted results. 1t is true that the
national democracy haye at present, the en-
tire control Of the government, as indeed,
they have, with fow brief exceptions, since
Its organization, and are powerful enough so
adopt any measures upon which they party
may unite, or successfully carry out any line
of policy which their wisdom may devise.
Fanatics, in whatever portion Of the Union
to be found, stand rebuked to silence, before
the virtue of patriotism, and the expressed
will of the people. In our unsophist!cated
notion of political matters, this bright and
promising state of affairs should be regarded
by the country with great satisfaction, and
BY the Democracy with equal qualification.
| But the close observers and prophets in
poll sical events to be found in the opposition
ranks, have discovered signs ofrapid decay
and elements of early dissolution in the fu-
ture which envelopes the victorious aad all.

licans with great unanimity. proclaim the
astounding intelligence, some with grim
satifaction, and others in q spirit of condo

The Louisville Journal was the first to
prophecy that the party had become too nu-
merous to exist much longer, and to discover
the "seeds of decay in the Democratic
State Conventions of Georgia and Mississip-
pi, which States, it is avsrred, have seen
proper to formally adopt resolutions con-
demning the only significant act OF the Bu-
chanaa administration, and denouncing in
dignantly the conduct of it's representatives.

to ultimately prove the destruction of the
Democracy, and give the ''close Observing

even admitting the truth of the declaration
above, will not lead to the prophesed result.
Such result was foretold by the same class
of political savans after the election of Mr..
Pierce. and yet divided Democracy was
found equal to the task of defeating the
fragmentary opposition arrayed against
them. Georgia and Mississippi can no more
destroy the Democracy, than South Carolina
could destroy the Union. What have the
Democracy to fear from two fanatical states,
when sixteen States were powerless for evil
against them in 1856

BILLS OF ExCHANGE-The San Francis
co Globe contains the following sensible
suggestion regarding bills of exchange is
sued to persons lost in the Central America :
Among those who left this city on the Goth
Of August, by the Sonora, were people from
all sections of the State, Miners and others
Many of them undoubtedly purchased ex-
change here. and we know it to be the Gus
tom of those who are not very coyersant
with the forms of business, to take with them
both the first and seconG of exchange. In
this ease, the fuAds of those who were lost
on the Central America would be entirely
lost to their friends and relatives IN the East
We would therefore suggest to the Bankers
of this city the propriety of publishing here
their exchange of the above date; and for
this purpose We freely tender the use Of our
columns.

CALIFORNIA CoTToN.-YesterddJ, says
the State Journal, of the 9th inst, we
were shown an open boil Of Cotton, grown in
the garden of B. 8. Redding. Esq, Of this
city. 1t was not quite middling as to size,
the staple short, kinky and not fine. In
color, it appeared bleached, instead of the
rich yellow, so peculiar to the fine long sta
pie cotton of Louisiana, We are satisfied
that even fair specimen of cotton cannot
De produced in this climate without irriga-
tion' and if this opinion is correct, then there
is nothing more certain than that it will
never form staple production of ofCalifornia.

them with men who would work for less than

we regret to see and one that in ;he end
must prove injurious to the interests of that
paper. Very much of the popularity that
has heretofore attached to the Bulletin, has
grown out of its supposed sympathy with the
industrial classes. The action of yesterday
