The San Francisco Herald of the 5th Of
December has the following:
The demonstration by the Young Mems
Democratic Club last evening, in honor Of
the triumph of Buchanan and Breckinridgp,
was one Of the most magnificent displays
we have ever witnessed in the United States.
A vast procession, more than mile in
length-with banners and transparencies--
with torches, flags and devices-rendered
plainly visible as in daylight, by myriads
Of lights in tho Illuminated streets through
which it passed-enlivened by the martial
music Of many bands. and cheered by the en-.
thusiasiic greetings OF the ladies along the
entire line of march--parade ed the principal
streets OF the city from end to end, and was
everywhere received with gluddening shouts,
with waving handkerchefs and with every

sheet of radiant light-and all things bore
testimony to the delight Of the citizens at
the election Of BuchanaD and Breckenridge,
and the consequent salvation Of the Union.

for Buchanan and Brcckinridge. We have

CHARLEs T. HUETrsorOE, The New York
forees, has been iFied, eonyie,ed. and sen-
fenced to four years and ten months impris-
Onment in the Penitentiury. The jury were
out four hours.
In contemplating this important case, We
cannot but reflect upon the unjust discTimi-
native modes between crimes as eommitted
by different men, and the almost total failure
Of the law TO measure out to each man the
exact penalty which belongs TO his offence.
Huntington has committed forgeries to the
amount Of $50 ,0oe coo. He has lived like
a prince. Now for the commission Of this
crime he goes to prison for four years and
ten months. A poor man, toiling for daily
bread, with family dependant uPcn bis hard
earnings, who, driven by hunger, breaks into
a house and steals loaf OF Bread. is tried,
convicted and sentenced to like or greater
punishment. A rich banker, who to-day
takes the money of widows and orphans up.
on deposit, and tomorrow fails in business,
cheating them out Of every cent Of their toll
gathered funds, is nev:r sent TO prison. oh,
no;--he is only unfortunate, and the world
takes him By the hand again; while the poor
outcast, who la thoushtless hour steals for.
ty dollars, is confined period not less than
three years. The aristocratic merchant,
clothed in purple and fine linen, who burns
his store for the insurance, or fails upon the
first purchase Of goods, ard pays his debts al
twenty FIVE ctnts on the dollar, is infinitely
more respected than the poor laborer whom
he has cheated out Of his wages. ,.....
/ Such is too often the judgment Of the
world. The successful rascal is honored and
app!audcd. while the unfortunate operator
on smaller scale is tumbled into the Peni-
tentiary, and ignominy written indelibly up
on his forehead. ..
Not until men can understand the secret
springs and impulses of the human heart
can they deal justly with their brethren
Not until society is re organized. will gildet
and rugg ed crime be viewed in the same ligh
and suffer the same penalty. But there is .
time coming, when men skall be judged, moi
by the fallacious standard Of society, but by
their real merits. There is tribunal where
equal aud exact justice will be measured ou
to all men, whether reVeling in fashionable
villany, or sunken by hunger and want it
