WAR IN THE CAMP-Notwithstand-
ing the declarations of some of the De-
mocratic presses that all is harmony in
the ranks, we find much in the leading
journals of the party that distinctly give
the lie to all reports of peace. The
Democracy are not as unit. If any
devotee of the party is desirous of
knowing how far the disaffection has
spread he has only to consult the New
York Neus of December 21st, where
enough of denunciation of those who
have dared to have an idea of their own
and express it in opposition to the Presi-
dent will be found to insure satisfaction.
A feud has grown up among the De-
mocracy. This is undeniable. 1t has
but just begun, but on the one side there
is energy, ability and perseverance suf-
ficient to face the most obdurate difficult
ties. On the other are the keepers of
the party lash, subserviency and a sy-
cophancy and wilful perverseness that
knows not conciliation but in abject sub
mission. These elements bode nothing
of peace. A party war has actually be-
gun, which must end in the secession
of a body of the party from the now
surfeited and diScordant ranks.
Whatever course may be pursued by
the majority we do not pretend to pre-
dict at this early stage of the dissention,
but we cannot but sympathise with those
daring champions of the true doctrine
of popular sovereignty, Douglas and
Walker. They are on consistent
course, and all others, the President in
cluded, who take issue with them on the
Kansas question are dragging in princi-
Piles not a part of the Democratic creed
enunciated in the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, and which Mr.. Buchanan pledged
himself to carry out. Of this there
cannot BE the shadow of doubt Lick
spittle politicians may cling to the Pres
ident, but the honesty of the people will
attach to the cause of Douglass and his
coadjutors.

the Message Of the President reached
us we took occasion to examine the doc
ument, and so far as the limited space
Of a weekly paper allowed, gave our
views upon it. 1t occurred to us as a
strange coincidence that every paper in
the State expressed itself in almost un-
qualified terms of approval of the mes
sage with the single exception of the
.J0urnal We, however, did not, on a
second perusal of the document to which
we were urged by the overwhelming
public opinion against our Judgment,
notwithstanding our solitary position see
reasons to change it. The late mail
from the Atlantic States diets us out. y
We find, though alone in California,
there are not few on the other side of
the continent who, strange as it may
seem to our contemporaries on this, en-
tertain like sentiments to those we have
expressed. As specimen, we give the
following from the n. O. True Delta.
"a careful perusal of Mr.. Buchanan S
first essay at message making, in extern
so, has not shown us the necessity of
qualifying or retracting the censure VIC
expressed on the publication Of the tel
egraphic outline of the long -winded,
Van Burenish, contradictory and feeble
production. How he could spin out
such an interminable affair to over six
columns of solid small type letter press
surpasses Imagination, though natural
that he, notorious for indecision and lack
Of moral courage as he has ever been,
should infiict so tame and spiritless :,
paper upon the public. If any of our
readers can muster courage enough to
undertake its perusal, and can resist its
soporific tendencies, we give them credit
for more resolution and wakefulness
than are usually found out of the realms
of newspaperdom.
Take the Message as a whole it is a
poor affair, tedious, stupid, pusillanimous
and old fogyish, such a document as
might be supposed to emanate from some
superannuated old fool in Europe, but
entirely out of place coming from the
President of young, powerful and Wig
orous Republic.
"Mr. Buchanan never hadne never
could rise to proper conception Of
what beftted a great nation, and now
that his views are before the country
they will scarcely excite astonishment
as they were expected, nor do mischief
because there is not ghost of chance
that any recommendation of his will be
responded to by the action of Congress
The Message reads like the production
of a resurrected old federalist and moi
that of the first signer of the proceed
ings of the Ostend conference"

Plumer Sentenced.--Judge Scarls over
ruled the motion for new trial in the
case of Henry Plumer, on Monday and
proceeded to pronounce sentence of
twelve years imprisonment in the State
Prison. An exception is taken to the
mode of empannelling the grand jury
that found the Indictment against Plum
er, and the case will be carried to the
Supreme Court. In this connection it
is proper to state that change in the
organic law is desirable to give the Dis
trict Judge power to review sIch errors
occurring in the Court of Sessions. The
case of Plumer has been tried at con-
siderable expense to the county, the
District Judge entertaining doubts while
the trial was in progress of the propriety
of the inferior court but being powerless
was obliged to permit the case to proceed
and the expense to the county to accrue
Had he granted new trial in accordance
with the application of the counsel for
the prisoner, double expense would
have been incurred, and still the errors
below, if any existed, would not have
been corrected. A full right of review
would still have remained in the Supreme
Court.
Every days experience illustrates the
fact that the judiciary system of this
state is cumbersome and needle ssly ex-
pensive from the Justices to the Su-
preme Court Had it been scrupulously
modelled upon the circumlocution plan,
it could not have better answered the
purposes-"how not do it, Under this
system tie rights of defendant are not
better guarded than they would be un-
der one more simple and practical, while
the heavy debts of counties and the
state, illustrate its tediousness and ex-
pense. There was prospect, when
the convention question was submitted
to the people, that reform in this and
other particulars, might soon be inaugu-
rated. But the matter is indefinitely
postponed, and the people may blame
themselves for the evils under which
they suffer

FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 22d, 1858.

DOUGLAS SPEECH.-We are indebted
to the little giant himself for a copy of
his speech on the Presidents message,
delivered in the Senate chamber, Dec.
9Th. So far as the submission of the
entire Constitution of Kansas to the
people is advocated in the speech we
coincide with the Judge in opinion. 1t
cannot be doubted by any one who paid
ordinary attention to the discussion of
the Kansas-Nebraska act while on its
passage through Congress and while its
merits were before the people in the
last national canvas, that the position
taken by Douglas is in accordance with
the principles of popular sovereignty
heretofore expounded by its advocates.
Buchanan was elected to carry out the
doctrine enunciated by the author of the
Kansas act before the Presidential cleo
tion and which he persistently adheres
to in the face of all obstacles, to his
credit be it said.
We do not regard the speech of
Douglas as a model of style or as even
equal to some of his previous efforts. 1t
bears evident marks of haste; yet the
speech is a good one for its purpose, and
much too sound and heavy for any of his
brother Democrats to successfully an
swer. Bigler attempted to offer a de-
fense of the position of the President,
but failed to leave favorable impress
sion, at least with the people at large
The speech of Douglas was widely cir
culated Immediately after its delivery
and the press of the country is largely
committed in its favor. Col. Forney,
Gov. Walker, and other prominent De-
mocrats have pronounced in favor of the
views of Douglas. Some of the princi-
pal papers of the South are decidedly
in his favor, and every thing betokens
that consistent Democrats will stand up
to the author of the Kansas-Nebraska
act and support him manfully.

Our neighbor discourses wisely on
the issue between Douglas and the Pres
ident. The position of Judge Douglas
is represented in the last mum oer of the
Democrat as follows: The position
which he assumes, is, that Kansas should
not be admitted until the whole Consti-
tuition framed by the Lecompton Con
vention is submitted to direct vote of
the people" The speech of Douglas
contains no such sentiments, Tie little
giant labors to prove that the Lecomp-
ton Convention was not properly organ
lied in the beginning to construct Con
stitution for Kansas; that an enabling
Act was necessary to clothe that body
with power to frame a Constitution, and
that after the foundations had been laid
Alright the Constitution should be sub
mitted to the direct vote of the people
afterwards to fulfill the requirements of
the kansas-Nebraska Act, or to conform
to the doctrines of popular sovereignty
This is the position of Judge Douglas, as
we understand it. Douglas contends the
right of the people of Kansas to vote
against the Constitution if they choose
is sacred and not to be trifed with after
the manner proposed by the President,
that an obnoxious Constitution should
not be forced upon them, leaving them
but the bare privilege of voting for or
against slavery. Either we or our
neighbor has not read the speech of
Douglas Alright.
The St0rm.-About dark on Wednes
day evening the omens of rain came to
pass and the heavens began to give
down plenteously. The night was a
wild and stormy one opening upon day
not unlike it. Yesterday was one of the
most CHEEKY for the miners we have ever
witnessed. The water came down all
the time without intermission, sometimes
in torrents, giving certain promise Of full
bitches and consequent rich harvest.
Deer Creek rose rapidly and rolled its
muddy torrent down with angry turbu-
lence. During the night of Wednesday
the high winds blowed trees across
bitches and fumes doing considerable
damage, but workmen were making re-
pairs as soon as possible on Thursday
morning, Notwithstanding the storm, that
not a moment might be lost when the
weather allowed the miners an opportu-
nifty to operate upon their claims. The
storm will be of incalculable benefit to
the State, as it gives earnest indications
of continuing till the great wants of the
mining population are supplied.
LAST CHANcE.-City tax payers will
find it to their advantage to call at the
Marshal's office and settle immediately,
or their names will be published as de-
linquents in few days, and proceedings
be instituted accordingly. There is a
large amount still due which must be
pungled up this week to save the names
of the property holders from being ad-
vertised.
