NEvADL. June 28, 1858.
Mr. Editor As an old democrat, who has
not heretofore had much opportunity Of notic-
ing the manevering of factions. wish to un-
derstand the position in which the two branch
es of the Democracy of this county are at pres
ent placed, prior to the coming contest, on Sat
urday next. In pursuit of information on the
subject, 1 attended the meeting the other even
ing, in the Court House, hoping that there, they
wonld have been able to come to some conclu-
sion that would have enlightened US outsiders;
in which, need not say, that we were disap-
pointed and since then, my endeavors have
been equally fruitless, in conversation with the
members Of each faction. Now, what many
democrats wish to know, is are we going to have
o disruption of the party, merely because lot
of wire workers cannot agree on what shall be
the test Of orthodox Democracy, or in other
words, who shall be chiseled out of the nomina-
tions? Let any man go to town and talk with
those party hacks, and he will find that the
Douglas men, equally with the administration
party claim to stand on the Cincinnati platform
and endorse the principles of the Kansas Ne
braska bill : but some of them, (the administra-
ton men) say they are not willing to make
these the tests under the construction placed
upon them in the campaign of 1856; but that
an individual, to take part in our primary elec-
ton, must distinctly aver that he worked with
the party last year. Now, if l remember right
ly, some of these same individuals did not re-
quirc one years probation from the Know
Nothings. when they interfered with our nomi.
nations in the fall of 1857. But now. inasmuch
as it seems that some of our Republican neigh
bors who have seen the error of their ways, and
wish to embrace salvation through the Demo-
cratic faith, they are not willing to extend the
right hand of fellowship to them and some of
them even 60 so far as to indirectly threaten to
secede from the party in the event of any new
converts being received into it. Now, which
shall we be governed by? Shall we allow one
portion Of the party, POSSIBLY minority) to
dictate to the rest, and simply because they
have taken for their motto "rule or ruin" be
led by them, into what may to our consciences
we meet the issue as men, and Democrats, and
by submitting to no test but the endorsement
of the Cincinnati Platform, and Kansas Nebras
ka act, coupled with pledge to support thC
ticket nominated by the Convention, ensure
our opponents "iair field, free eight, and
certain defeat" MUD-SnI.

LOOK OUT FOR HM.-The S. F. Times says that
Fred Bertram came to the Station House on
Monday night, and asked to be locked in, so
that he might not be guilty of kissing the first
lady he met. friend or foe. Fred is said TO be a
man of refinement. He is Swede, and former
ly held the Office of Consul in South America,
under his government. But he has lost bis bal.
ance wheel, and when his mania assumes a viru-
lent character. it developes itself by making him
so gallant to the ladies as to be considered in
sulting. by those especially who know HIM not.
We should say there were some hopes of this
poor fellow. as bis freaks are certainly more
indiscrest than senseless.

TUE PLuMER CAsE.-On Saturday, the Su-
prcme Court rendered decision in the case of
Henry Plumer setting aside the verdict of the
jury, and granting him new trial. 1t will be
remembered that after Plumer was convicted,
it was proven, on the application for new tri-
al, that two OF the jurors had, previous to being
empannelcd, expressed the opinion that Plumer
was guilty, and one of them had gone so far as
to offer to head mob to hang him. Judge
Searls overruled the motion, intmating at the
time that the indictment was defective, and be-
ing desirous that all the objections should 60
at once to the Supreme Court, thus avoiding
the possibility of two more trials. The Su-
preme Court overruled the objections TO the
indictment, but held that the jurors who had
thus expressed opinions, and afterwards sworc
that they had never formed any opinion in the
case, were incompetent; and oil this ground the
case was sent back and new trial ordered.
Some months ago. writer in the San Juan
Star, under the signature of"X. Y. H." dcvo-
ted several columns to prove that if new trial
was granted in this case, the fault was with the
County Judge. 1t appears, however, that
Judge Caswell's decision was correct, as the
objections to the indictment were overruled.
The fault of having two trials is chargeable to
two OF the jurors, who, in their anxiety to have
Plumer convicted, had forgotten, when examined
on their voir dire, that they had, time and again.
expressed opinions as to bis guilt, In regard
to the competency of these jurors, the Court
say:
1t is clear that neither of these jurors were
competent to sit upon the trial of defendant. If
indeed they were competent to sit in any case
involving the life or liberty of a citizen.
A man who could so far forget his duty as a
citizen, and his allegiance to the Constitution,
as to openly advocate taking the life of cti-
zen without the form of law, and deprive him
Of the chance of jury trial, would not be like
ly to stop at any means to secure, under the
forms Of legal trial. result which he bad
openly declared ought to be accomplished by an
open violation of the law.
