eighty. Everywhere, but in California, is
the Administration making war upon Mr..
Douglas and the only reason that they do
not undertake it here is, that they dare not.
They claim an Administration victory in this
State, when the very head and front of the
party which confronted the whole power of
the President at Washington with lions
heart and giants hand stands unscathed in
this contest Not a hair of the head of
Stephen A. Douglas have they dared to touch,
not a word have they dared to breathe
against his name. They have not the cour
age to make the fight which the President
himself is making, through the columns of
his organ, the Washington Union, and
through his tool in Illinois, Chas. Leib, the
whiome Free State man in Kansas and active
sworn member of Jim Lanes DANTE Band
Are the Douglas men Of this STATE so blind
that they do not know what is going on, on
the other side of the mountains? Let every

Mr. Douglas is all right with the Adminisra

Buchanans paper, the Washington Union
In its issue of July 9th, it says:

cratic party? Either he is in or he is out of
the party. If he is out, it matters little
whether he has been read out" or whether
he has hounced himself out SO that he is out

guishable facts, and there is no such thing as
well-detined democratic organization
The question is not whether the democrat
ic patty can do without Mr.. Douglas, whether
it can afford to cut loose from him and his
minions. whether it is able and the time is
not arrived, to declare independence" of him;
for the experience of the last six months has
shown that If it cannot get along without
him, 1t Is vain to attempt to get along with
him.
Observe what satanic bitterness is con-
tained in the following most malicious and
untruthful summing up" in the Same art.

goes on with its malicious attacks in this
wise:
Now. what We have to say is, that the po
