The assembled Democracy Of Nevada were
addressed by our nezt Governor, Jno. B. Weller,
and by our worthy candidate for Attorney Gen.
eral, Thos. II. Williams, on the evening of the
sth inst. The Republican apology for candi-
date. Little Bo-Peep Stanley, utterly disregard
ed his appointment the other day to speak at
this place and slipped silently though on bis
way to San Francisco, tho political corruption
OF the atmosphere Of which place is better suit
cd TO hisconsttution than the honest breezes Of
the mountains. The Democrats Of this vicinity
ON last Saturday turned out and attended in
large numbers. The promptitude and general
interest exhibited this the first occasion OF
any public speaking in the county this year
proves that tho Democracy are awake and pre-
pared for the contest The absolute certainty
Of eiecting oar tclcetyit has been feared, would
create lulewarmness on the part Of Democrats
We must not only have victory, but we must
achieve it by majority that will ensure prestige
to ourselves and ,discomfturel 70 our enemies,
This the Democracy here are determined UPON
THE speech of CollWeller on the occasion was
one we feel proud Of as Democrats. 1t was q
manly and Independent defence Of manly, in
dependent and upright cause. All who heard
him expressed their satisfaction with the effort
and their admiration of the speaker, as q man
aud as an experienced and faithful public SER
want. He INDUCED but little in discussing the
national issues between parties. He hammered
with hercnlean force, and with great satlsiac-
tion to the audience, the fanatical Republican
alliance, or party without platform. Cover
nor Weller said he was not canvassing the State
for the purpose Of soliciting votes, for he was
confident of an election If he remained at home.
His tour was for the purpose of learning the
wants and wishes Of the people Of the different
counties and of finding out the gocd moral men
and tried and faithful Democrats Of each com
munity9 sWc trust this information, witha hear
ty welcome, may everywhere be extendedtO our
worthy standard.boarer, and we shall feel q
double assurance that his administration will
be one Of the most successful and The proudest
in the history Of California. ylsT nl8y.y is5u.

imprisonment OF the American Consul at
sglol Si.,sg gald NIazatIan.ii rg1 1Df.
A correspondent of the San Francisco Herald
writing from Mazptlan, gives the particulars Of
ans nsoutrage againstthe American flag in that
place, which for high.handed insoloncc isiwith-
out a parallel. The American schooner Ada
had been seized by order of q Mexican Judge,
Don Jose Antonio Aldrete, aud ordered to be
sold to satisfy the demand of a man named
Fitch Mr. Charles B. Smith, the American
Consul at the port, in note addressed TO the
Judge, bearing date July 4th, protested against
the proceedings, decreeing the sale of the
schooner, as unwarrantablc and unjust, she not
having contracted any debts within the Repub-
lie Of Mexico. Tho Consul was soon after ar
rested by a Hle Of soldiers and taken before the
Judge, and upon his acknowledging the author
ship OF the protest, he was fined ono hundred
dollars for contempt Of court. Mr.. Smith re-
fused to pay the fine, and was ordered to be in.
carcerated in the common Jail until the fine was
paid As soon as the fact of the imprisonment
became known in the town, it produced great
excitement among all classes ofpeople, and the
illegal proceedings of the Judge were uniyer-
sally condemned. Gen, Yanez1 was soon i'm.
formed Of The outrage, and although he had no
civil authority he took steps to procure the i'm
mediate release Of the Consul. Accordingly,
about half past nine o'clock, on the evening Of
July 9th, the Judge visited the prison in person,
and set the Consul at liberty. asd eolt a u
On the following morning, the American Con-
sui received intlmAtion from various quarters,
that the Judge was desirous to compromise mat
ters; but the honor Of the American government
being deeply concerned in the outrage, no pro-
positions were or could be entertained, and the
American consulate was closed to await the ac-
tionof the government on the subject In a
circular addressed tO1the Consular body Of Ma
zatlan, Mr. Smith set forth his grieyances and
the steps he had taken, aud closed by demand
ing for the citizens and interests Of the United
States the protection Of the Consular body of
Mszatlan. - ,i8ittm l4ElEihna dJDn sniand
Comment upon these proceedings is unneces-
safy. They add but another to the long list of
outrages which have been pefpetrated against
American citizens, by Mexican officials, upon
he Pacific coast. The facts OF this case are too
outrageous to be quietly submitted to, and
Fhen they become known at Washington the
overnment will be compelled to take immedi-
to measures for redress for past indignities,
nd for the protection in future of American
Iterests upon this coast. r37 Do bao3ss
