The San Francisco National "keeps
it before the people" that John Currey
and Joe McKibben were once members
of that accursed institution" which set
up the sons of Revolutiary fathers
above the recently imported progeny Of
mercenary Hessians, perfectly oblivious
of the fact that Charley Scott, Sam
Brooks and George Pen johnson once
were particular friends of Sam, and
swore never to desert him. Talk
of the value of our inexhaustibIe mines
of gold. Brass is the more valuable
metal to politician.

Gov. WISE ON DouGLAs.-We
have for more than a year endeavored
to show that Douglass i'll not have
the ghost of a chance for the Presi
dency in 1861.
The regular ADMINISTRATION forces
ofthe South are eirrevocably set against
him. One by one the prominent
southern statesmen come to denounce
him. Last of the list comes that old
political coadjutor, Henry A. Wise.
Ina recent letter to political friend
in New York, Wise says.
The South cannot adopt Mr.. Doug
las platform. 1t is a short cut to all
the ends Of Black 2epublicanism. He
then will kick up his heels. If he
does or don't he can't be nominated,
and the main argument against his
nomination is. that he can't be elect
ed if nominated. IL he runs an in
dependent candidate, and Seward
runs, and l am nominated at Char
lesion, l can beat them both. Or, if
Squatter Sovereignty is plank Of the
platform at Charleston, and Douglas
is nominated, the South will run All
independent candidate on protection
principles, and run the election into
the House. Where, then, would Mr.
Douglas be ? The lowest candidate
on the list. If l have the popular
strength, you suppose it will itself fl <
the nomination. Get that and 1 am
confident of sue cess.
