Condemned and Damned.

That arbitrator to the Democratic party,
JOIN w. Forney, of Forney's (Philadelphia)
Press, is meeting the reward his treachery
deserves. At the outset many honest Demo
Gratis were led to confde in him, believing
that he but differed cour,eousl y with the
President on the Kansas question; but his
attacks upon the venerable Chief Magistrate
have become so outrageous and indecent,
and his opposition to the Democracy, and
coalition with Black Republicans SO COM
plete and avowed, that they are turning from
him with loathing and disgust His late
pulling and dirty manifesto against Mr.. Bu-
chanan, has gone still further to disgust those
who were for a while his friends, has disap-
pointed his Abolition allies and received the
withering contempt of every friend of the Adj
ministration. AS specimen of the rebukes
Forney is now receiving from his quondam
adherents, the following from the Somerset
Pa) Democrat, is expressive and to the
point:
JOHN w. FoRNEY-Time was when we
supposed this man Democrat, a Patriot an
honest man. Time is when we believe him
neither. There is point where forbearance
ceases to be virtue. In the case in hand
that time has come. Were we longer to
remain SILENT we would become particeps
criminis with the subject of this article
We might have permitted the Philadelphia
Press" and its editor to pass down the
stream in silence, were it not for the fact,
that some six months since, we refused to
admit into our columns an article from the
pen of friend, whose Democracy never
flags, rejecting upon the character of the
Press" and its editor, and suggesting a
doubt of the honesty of the one and the
Democracy of both Our endorsement of
the "Press" and its editor at that time will
be remembered and must therefore be with
drawn We cannot afford any longer to per-
NIT that endorsement to stand. 1t is there
fore Internationally withdrawn.
Here it may be proper for us to say, that
on the Kansas question in which we then
agreed with Mr.. Forney, and differed from
the Administration, we were actuated by
honest motives-yet now, that question being
referred back to the people of Kansas, (which
was all we ever contended for) with them
we leave it, An honest difference of opinion
on one point will not justify brutal on
slaught on the President and his Cabinet.
In this business we must leave Mr.. Fornev
and his new associates to ''pad the way to-
gether."

Murder of Cinnamon on Shirt Tail Canon.

The Placer Courier says, the bodies of
three Chinese miners were found on Shirt
tail Canon, about six miles from this town,
yankee Jim) on Saturday last, with knife
wounds on various parts of their bodies,
and every indication of having been mur-
dered. The deceased had been living in a
tent on the canon, and no person living or
working nearer than one mile of them. They
were found on Saturday evening last, by one
of their countrymen, who came to this place
and gave the alarm. On Sunday morning,
Justice Jamison and Constable Cartwright
summoned a jury, repaired to the ground
and held an inquest upon the bodies.
All Tung, a Chnaman, testified as follows
before the Coroner's jury that held an in
quest upon the bodies:
Witness found All Sow lying dead, in the
water outside of the tent, about 2 o'clock
p. NJ. on Saturday, Oct. soth. Kong Ket was
also found dead at the same time, on the
ground between table and platform on
which thep slept inside the tent on the south
west SIDE. Found All Sow lying in the wa
ter, did not examine him to see if he was
cut. Two Of them were covered with the
blankets Or bed clothing. They had been
in this country FIVE years-Never knew
them to get drunk or fight. Have known
kong-K Ket and Ken Chow for one year. Saw
no knife with blood marks upon it. Saw no
person on the canon except the three dead
Cinnamon. Witness took All Sow from the
canon after going to Yankee Jim's and back.
Has no suspicion of the persons committing
the deed. There is one company of Chinese
about one mile below and another about one
mile above.

Although the whole amount of bonds re-
qnired for funding, or limited by the Act
OF April, 1857, has been received and filed
by the State Treasurer yet the amount is
sued is only $3,747,ooO. 1t is estimated by
the Department that there is still in existence
OF equitable Indebtedness against the State
at least 100000. 1t will be borne in mind
that the new bonds bear date from the re-.
ception of the old, and that the interest on
the latter is funded in the new issue. About
$4,000 interest is due January Ist, 1859.
The amount of interest on the old bonds
refunded was over 100000.

Kansas not in q Hurry.

1t seems that the people of Kansas are in
no haste to come into the Union, very much
to the disappointment of the Abolition brawl-
ers throug hout the North, who have been
urging that an application for admission be
made to Congress the coming winter, that
another fight might BE- opened to distract
public business and the minds Of the whole
peop'e. According to the Leavenworth
correspondent of the Cincinnati Times IAN
opposition prinD there is growing feeling
in that Territory against admission at pres
ent-an indication that the people there are
turning attention to the true interests of the
future State, regardless of the entreaty anil
bowling of demagogues who would advise
against any course that promises quiet and
good will among the people of Kansas The
correspondent of the Times says:
"a paper is now in circulation for the sic-
natures Of sll who are opposed to applying
for the admission of Kansas during the next
five years. have not heard of single in
dividua who has objected to signing the
paper 1t is the intention to hold a meeting
and devise plan by which the desire of the
people may be expressed upon this question.
From present appearances there are not
thousand people in the Territory in favor of
applying for admission during the next Con-
gress, at least"

Rejoicing in the East over the Democratic
Victory in California.

The news of the brilliant Democratic vic
tory in California has been received with
great satisfaction and enthusiasm by our
brethren in the East, who proclaim it as one
of the most glorious victories upon record.
The defeat Of Broderick sectonalism has
proven to them that the Democratic heart
Of California is sound, and beats in unison
with the national sentiment of the Union.
They recognize in it a most signal rebuke
to those agtators who for their own selfish
purposes have attempted to disturb the har-
mony of the party and embarrass the admin
istratcn of Mr.. Buchanan; and thev also
further recognize in it the sccurement of the
State to Democratic principles for years to
come The result Of the election was receiy-
ed at Washington with every manifestation
of pleasure. From the numerous articles of
congratulation upon the subject we select
the following from the New York Neacs of
Sept. goth:
1t will be perceived by a persual of the
intelligence from California, inserted in this
mornings Daily News that the noble De-
mocracy of California have achieved one of
the most glorious victories on record. The
details show conclusiyely that all the varied
hosts combined could scarcely be called
formidable opposition. Everything has been
demolished which had been organized ce-
mented and reared against the National
Administration. Except in San Francisco,
the Democracy have literally swept the en-
tire State, leaving scarcely single district
where a Black "Republicann or bolter can
be found Such a victory such an over
whelming defeat Of the Opposition, such
perfect crushing out of the enemy, will Sc
cure the Golden State in the hands of the
present party there in power for years to
come.
Into California the Douglas detection was
carried from Washington by Broderick. As
he voted with Douglas throughout the last
session, SO he abore for Anti Lecompton
in conjunction with the Black "Republicans"
in California. He created the issue there.
and boasted of the power he welded in sus-
tanning the Illinois traitor. The result shows
the influence he possessed. His treachery,
no doubt, stimulated the Democracy and
filled them with greater determination to
sustain the Administration.
We congratulate Senator Gwin upon the
great and interesting result. No man in
the nation has greater cause for rejoicing
than himself. During the last session his
influence, votes and action in sustaining the
Administration, and in endeavoring to COM
ply with the desires of the Democracy of
California were neutralized in great meas
ure by the conduct of Broderick. The lat
ter claiming an equal Democratic consttu-
ency with Senator Gwin, and boastingly
affirming on the floor Of the Senate that be
possessed the confidence of majority of
the California Democracy, led many to think
that the man had some political weight.
But as his fate is etfectualy sealed in Cali
fornia, so will be that of other Douglas SYM
pathsers in this city, State, and everywhere
else.
