Schuyler taken Down.

EDITOR DEMocRAT The Pacific Hotel has
been visited to day by various candidates,
and amongst the number was the renowned
Col. Schuyler Coombs Tompkins, of Railroad
notoriety and the Lecompton Custom House
candidate for Mayor at the ensuing election
As the usual custom is, when candidates are
around, the "boys" all took a "smile" with
the Colonel, greatly to the satisfaction of the
landlord, who, by the way, is a gentleman
and good Douglas Democrat. After the
boys had qucnched their thirst, the Colonel
attempted to explain his position on Rail-
roads and various other topics of the day. but
from some cause or other the Col did not
succeed in convincing his hearers that his
Railroad policy was good; finally the Col
took his departure, and of course after hear
ing his arguments and drinking considera-
ble quantity of brandy we had become some
what patriotic, and Immediately upon the
Colonels taking his leave, division of the
house wasa sasked for by Lecomptonite, which
resulted, (twenty four men being present. as
follows: Judge Singer. 20; Col. Tompkins, 4 /;

Slave Property in New Mexico.

The Overland Mail informs us that the
lower house of the Territorial Legislature
of New Mexico has passed very stringent
bill for the protection of property in slaves.
1t will probably pass the upper house also.
This news is somewhat important as show
ing the workings of squatter sovereignty in
a Territory hitherto unagitated by the ques-
ton of slavery. The action of the Legisla-
ture (or its lower body in thus passing
bill for the protection of slave property,
would seem to indicate that New Mexico
was destined to grow up into 4 slave State,
were it not that the amount of soil fit for
slave labor or indeed any kind of labor is so
exceedingly limited. The climate is temper
ate, and portion of the territory suitable
to the growth of cotton, but by far the lar
ger portion is a sterile region of extended ta-
ble land producing fine quality of grass, it
is true, but wholly unfit for anything but
grazing purposes. The best portion of New
Mexico is included in the limits Of the pro-
iected territorial organization of Arizona,
which region is much more likely to be cree
ted into q slave State, or indeed into any
State at all. The fact that slavery already
exits in New Mexico to such an extent as to
require legal protection is almost certainly
indicative of gradual spread of the institu-
tion over all the habtable country within
the limits of Arizona. We see no reason,
then, why the South should not be satisfied
with the workings of this squatter sover-
eighty doctrine outside of Kansas and Ne
braska. There is no earthly doubt that if
God and Nature ever designed any country
to be cultivated by slave labor, Arizona is
the country.

They Give il lin!

The scales have dropped from the eyes Of
the LecOmptonites Their game of brag is
played out, and they wedkenl They have
literally left tine field. The street corners,
the saloons, end other public places about
town were yesterday the scenes of com
plete surrender of the enemy. The defend
ers of the President and the infamous Le-
compton swindle have no longer any hope of
successfully combating the PEOPLE, if their
own trembling tongues are to be believed.
Judge Singer will be elected by 800 majority,
if his friends, through over confidence, do
not neglect their duty at the polls The
whole ticket of the Douglas Democracy will
be elected, and the Lecompton fraud will not
be endorsed by single ward in Marysville
Our friends must not cease the good tcork
now so gloriously begun. Erery good citizen
must vote on election day Our immense
Douglas majority is of no avail unless every
voter is out on Monday. Every minion of
the Federalists will vote never doubt that
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE is omnipo
tent when at makes Itself heard! Now, if
ever, is the time. Our municipal election
may seem small affair to some, but the
hungry horde of Office seekers throughout
the State who perform the duty of worms
over the carcase Of Lecomptonism, Ore listen
ing for the report of the FIRST GUN OF

Stand by the Whole Ticket.

Our enemies will show US on election dav
that they are determined to 60 the whole
Lecompton ticket They will not be found
working for a single Douglas Democrat
Every nominee on our ticket is worthy of the
support of the PEOPLE. The opposition can
not deny it, and do not If the Democracy
would win, they must lend no "aid and com
fort to the enemy" by scratching single
name on our ticket, or voting for single man
on the other. Let the victory over Lecomp-
tonism be full and complete, and let those who
hare stood by 1t fall with il. We ara on the
eve of great triumph Let no few men,
through personal regard for either of our
enemies, break the high fall which the Le-
comptonites arc about to take. The offices
to be voted for are not 50 very exalted or
profitable; it is not a matter of life or death to
any nominee on either side, whether or not
he Is elected. 1t is important that the first
municipal election Of 1859, in California,
should not only result in triumph of the
rEoPLE over Federal power and influence,
but that triumph may can, must and shall
be an overwhelming one
Let every true Douglas man stand firmly
by those who are fighting under the trno
flag, and every Douglas candidate will dis
tance his adversary.

Nominee for Recorder.

The popularity of the Democratic nominee
for City Recorder, Jesse o. Goodwin, Esq,
has been so well established, and for 50 long
a time in this city, that it is almost An act of
supererogation to speak of his merits at all.
Yet we may be allowed to say thus much

ferior to but very few men in the country if
any, and his conduct has always been that of

man who stays at home. industIiously follows
his avocation, and trains himself in civil pur
suits, may be as well entrusted with the re-
sponsibilities of an office purely civil and ju-
dicial as any one Of the modern heroes who
bare their swords for conquest, and found
governments and empires "at the drop of a

unbounded and disnterested benevolence, to

ceive that an American citizen may deserve

EDITOR DEMOCRAT When Jack Barklev

politics, he was strong. Having seen fit to
attach himsefto the sinking raft of Lecomp-
tonism, and to run for Marshal on a ticket
headed by man who has recently made him
self obnoxious to the people by his Railroad
associations, as well as by his political course.
the probability is that friend Jack will see
that bad company will "let him out" The

take them from the Douglas ranks, this
