cisco he was in great danger Of being skinned
alive In Sacramento county, they made him
howl with mingled wrath and pain. In Yuba
he got some tremendous digs in the region of
the wind. In Ell Dorado, they beset him
with sword and fire, until he Swung the
scaly horror Of his folded tail" in an agony Of
torment that was really excruciating to be-
hold. He squealed like a stuck pig when
Old Butte got hold Of him. and he will wear
her brand upon him for some time to come.
Fearful that he would be slaughtered out
right, his friends dressed him up in Douglas
drmor. and wrote Douglas" upon is bias
phemous forehead, in order to deceive the
Douglas men who were sworn to kill him,
and will yet, if they ever get fair chance
At him. Thus equipped, he managed to 90
through several large counties, like Sierra,
Nevada, and Tuolumne, without that scathing
which he would otherwise have received.
That he was not knocked squarely in the
mead, and his Internal carcass torn up and
scattered to the four winds, was owing to the
ors in all those places in which his hackers
dared not tear the lions skin from his back,
and show him as he was, hell born, cloven
footed, dragon.tailed and sulphuious Of as
pect. The sledge-hammer that will yet fell
i'm like beef, waits for him in the Doug
las camp, and his doom is as certain as if it
were already chronicled in the Book of Fate.
We have said that the Lecompton party of
shs state have not had the courage to fight
is battle openly and fairly. While the Ad-
.uinistration was combined with the Repub-
.icans in Illinois, in a foul ard damnaLle Goa
ition against stephen A. Douglas-which
aoalition is even now existing-and while
the Washington Union, the Presidents or
gan, was BREATHING fire and fury against ali
enose who dared to say Douglas was a good
and true Democrat. the Lecompton rarity III
california were shameless enough to declare
that the Administration had no war to make
dpon Douglas or upon Douglas men, ana
That really and truly Douglas was with the
Administration in this fight How any friend
of Douglas could he SO ignorant of the actual
state OF things, so shallow in Lis judgment
nd guliible in his nature us to be deceive q
10y so mean and contemplate trick we con
t > we are at LOSS to see. We are statistic d.
owever, that many Douglas men voted for
ne Administration in this contest, becaus
hey desired to stave off the issue until tn,
Iext political campaign, or until such time
us things could settle down into their proper
status, and the lines bet wcen the LecomJ :
ton and the Douglas side Of the house cou.d
Oe more distinctly drawn than was possible e
IN the present instance At this moment, We
rs firmly believe, almost, as that We are now
mere, that vast majority of the Democracy
of California are with Stephen A. Douglas,
and regard with adherence the attempt of
Mr. Buchanan td"force the Lecompton Con-
stitutiOn upon the people of Kansas We're
gard the result of the election in this State.
therefore, as no Administration triumph al
all. 1t is in fact Douglas victory--a double
Douglas victory. The counties which were
carried for the Anti-Lecompton ticket Were
carried because the people understood that
they were called upon to endorse the politi.
cal position of Mir. Douglas as against that
assumed by Mr.. Buchanan, with regard tu
Kansas The counties which were carried
ior the Lecompton ticket, were carried be
cause the people were made to believe tha
there was no war to be waged, either now ol
hereafter, iu this State or elsewhere, agains
Mr. Doug.as, and that the issue which one,
existed between Mr.. Douglas and Mr.. Bu
chanan was past and would never be revive,
dad the people known the true state of til,
case had they known that the leading new
paper organ of MIR. Buchanan ut Washing
ton was proclaiming daily to its thousands o
readers that the separation between Mr.
Buchanan and Mr. Douglas was eternal, an,
chat no man was faithful to the party repre-
sented by Mr.. Buchanan who did not de
nounee Mr.. Douglas as a traitor to the De
mocracy had they realized that the Admin
lstration State Platform contained plank
as it did and does, which in effect reads every
Douglas man out of the Administration or
ganization, we do not believe that hal
dozen counties in the state would have gon,
for the Administration. A douLle victory I
has been, in every sense of the sord, for Mr.
Doughs. There was potent magic in hi
! name against which his enemies dared no
contend. They, therefore, hypocriticalIl

enemies in this contest to make their wa
