II EFT NO FALSE DELICACY PREVENT THE
IL invalid from seeking medical relief-the
card of DIR. L. J. CZAPK.aY, to be found in
another column, indicates where to obtain relia-
BILE and competent physician. 1t is seldom that
we are called upon to bear testimony in favor Of
the skill Of any physician, but sense Of duty as
we'll as justice demands that we should not pass
DR.. Czapkay by. without something more than q
mere mention. Unlike the greater portion Of
those who thrust themselves and their nostrums
before the public, whose practices are empirical,
DR.. Czapkay is gentleman of rare medical and
scientific attanments having held the position of
chief surgeon of the liberating army during the
late Hungarian Revolution, and is possessed of
all the requisite experience and skill for the sue
cessu practice of his profession. 1t is to the care
and advice of such physician we would recon-
mend all suffering from the effects Of sexual or
private diseases feeling assured that in all such
complaints, whether arising from infection, in
discretion, sef-abuse or loss of virility, he can
guarantee, from his extensive practice, speedy
and permanent cure. To those suffering from the
effects Of physical and mental debility, we would
say, let common sense take the place of false mo-
desty, and seek such advice as will save you from
an untmely grave, and lead you back again to
pristine health, consult DR.. Czapkay, whom we
chcerfully endorse as skilltul and tried physi-
clan, capable of coping with and successfully
eraGcating those self inflicted miseres the evils
of empirical practices and all diseases of a semi
nal nature. Dr. Czapkays rooms are on Sacra-
mento street, opposite Pacific Mail Steamship Cos
office, San Francisco.

Mr. Mc ntgommery of Pennsylvania.

This gentleman, who was the author of
what is known as the Montgomery Crit
tenden bili for the admission of Kansas. in
letter to his constituents in Pennsy ylvania,
made the following remarks:
II have invariably, in all parts of the dis
tsict, said to the people that | was not a
Lecompton' candidate; but simply an old
fashioned Democratic candidate, subject to
the customs and usages of the party We
had some difference of opinion amongst us on
the Kansas question, but now that contro-
versy is terminated by a bill which, if it is
not all that we could ask, is vet a compro-
mise which we, as good citizens, should faith
fully carry out. The course of true wisdom
demands every Democrat to exert his whole
influence to harmonic and uaite the party.
lie, like Mr.. Douglas, considers the ques-
tion settled, and SO it is considered all ever
the country. And we have no doubt it will
SO be considered by the people of California.

PLATFORM OF THE NATIONAL DE.
MOCRACY OF CALIFORNIA:

Adopted by the Democratic State Convention
at Sacramento, August 5th, 1858
"kaesolped. That the Democracy of California
maintain. with unfaltering faith, their attachment
to the wise, just and liberal principles announced
in the Cincinnati Platform, and among others
they most cordially approve and will most faith
fully sustain the doctrine of popular sovereignty
and its inseparable guaranty non-intervention OF
the Federal Government with the domestic insti-
tutions of State or Territory.
''Resolred. That the act of Congress. known as
the English Compromise bill, having referred the
whole subject of the admission of Kansas to the
decision of the people thereof, we do without re-
gard to former differences of opinion, accept and
abide by the reference. and cannot but deem any
attempt to revive the agitation of that subject
in National politics, as violation of the spirit
and intent of the Kansas Nebraska law and dan
gerous to the peace and integrity of the Union.
''Resolued, That we kave undiminshed conf
dence in the wisdom, patriotism and Democracy
of the Chief Magistrate Of the United States
and pledge to him and his Administration the ear
nest support of the people of California in main
tanning the honor and integrity of the Union
both at home and abroad.
''Resolvtd, That we deem the passage of the
Pacific Railroad bill as of vital Importance. not
only to the interests Of California, but to those
of the Union at large, and that whilst we deeply
regret the postponement of that measure and the
unfortunate causes which led to it, we congratu-
late our people upon the establishment OF a COM
petc system of overland mail lines upon all the
main northern, central and southern routes to the
Pacific coast.
''Resoived, That American ships at sea und, 7
the American flag, in time of peace, are subject
to the jurisdiction of the United States, and to
that of no other power on earth, whether for
search, visitation, or any other purpose whatever,
and we rejoice in the promptitude, energy, and
success with which this great principle has just
been maintained by Democratic Administration.
'Resolred, That cordially invite the CO.
operation Of all National men, without regard to
former political associations, to unite with us in
the present and prospective struggle against Sec
tionalism and its attendant evils.
"Resoiced, That the present Democratic Admi-
nstration of this State is entitled to and receives
our cordial approval.
Resolred, That we recognize the right Of the
people of each State and Territory, when SO de-
sired by them, to vote upon the adoption or re-
lection of their fundamental law; but we hold
that it belongs not to the Congress of the United
States, but to the people themselves, speaking
through their own representatives to say whether
they do or do not desire to exercise such rights.

A Voice from Kansas.

The Mountain Democrat, publishes let
ter, dated Lecompton, June oath, 1853, from
Gov. Denver, of Kansas, to his brother St.
Clair Denver, Of Ell Dorado county, in which
he makes suggestions that should be needed
by every man who desires the success of
Democratic principles in California. Gov.
Denver SAYS the sense! less Kansas question
should be ignored in our State politics as un-
worthy place in the canvass. He is cor
rect-this Kansas howl is only kept up by
renegades from the Democratic party, (who
are anxious to blind the people to their own
hideous political deformity and attempts to
force themselves into official position,) and
by the Republicans purely sectional party
who were overthrown by the Democracy in
the memorable Presidential contest of 1856.
The Republicans contend that they stand to
day where they did then, and that the views
of those Democrats who have left their party
to war against the Administration are in uni
son with their own. Let true Democrats
mark this This howl about bleeding Kan
sas is silly war-c,y to obtain office Moth
ing more
| have written to you and Den. senior of
the Democrat long ago in January or
February, think, protesting strongly against
allowing the preseAt phase Of the Kansas
question to divide the Democracy in Califor-
nj : ic
that should never lave produced any troub-
lie in our party. There is nothing to be gain
ed by it and much to lose. 1t has now al
most worn itself out, and in this Territory
the question is in fact settled and the only
"Freedom shriekers" 10 be found are bands
of horse-tLieves and robbers. Drive the
whole subject out Of your councils and keep
it out. The Free State men Of tbs Territory
have majority now in avery county, they
have very nearly every local officer in every
county, the Constitutional question has in
fact been referred to Them and now let them
attend TO their own affairs and not bother
others. If with all the officers they can't
preserve the peare-if they have not inte.i-
gence enough to know whether they want
a State government or not, why-throw the
responsibility on them. That's where it prop.
erly belongs. If they prefer to remain 4
Territory, let them remain. The proposition
presented is fair one and let them take eli
ther horn of the dilemma they choose, bu,
don't let their senseess and unmcaning quar-
rels effect the Democracy in our State The
struggle here has been in fact between the
ultra proslavery and ultra Abolitionists and
the fruits of it are now being seen in the
organized bands of horse thieves and rob
bers with which the country is over un. I
say again ignore the question altogether. 1t
is unworthy place in our politics.

TEE ARTEsIAN WELL ExPEDirIoN-De-
spatches to June 4th have been received at
the War Department, from Capt Pope. An
exploring party sent from his camp on the
Pecos river near the mouth of Delaware
creek have discovered large number of
springs on the summit of the Llano Estaca

half way between the Pecos and the Mustang
Springs on the eemigrant road. There is a

TO THE AFFLICTED.-Dr L. J. Czapkay,
returns his sincere thanks to his patients
for their patronage, and would take this oppor-
tunity to remind them that he continues to con-
suit at his Institute for the cure of Chronic dis
eases of the Lungs, Liver. Kidneys, digestive and
genital organs, and all private diseases, viz:
Syphiltic ulcers, gonorrhGa, gleet, structures,
seminal weakness and all the horrid consequent
ccs of self-abuse, and he hopes that his long ex-
perence and successful practice of many years
will continue to ensure him share of public
patronage. BY the practice of many years in Eu-
rope and the United States, and during the Hun
garian war and campaigns, he is enabled to ap-
ply the most efficient and successful remedies
against disease of all kinds. He uses no mercury
charges moderate-treats his patients in cor
rect and honorable way-has reference of un-
questionable yeracty from men of known res
pectablity and high standing in society. All
parties consulting him, by letter or otherwise
will receive the best and gentlest treatment and
