DIR, DuncOmbe,

The action of the people of Sacramento IN
re nominating DR.. Duncombe for the Assem-
bly, meets with the hearty appreciation OF the
Douglas Democracy of this county. If the
Legislature again chooses to refuse him his
seat, contrary to all former usage in the
United States, because he happened, twenty
or thirty years ago, to swear allegiance to
England, let them take the responsibility
The Douglas Democracy do not consider it a
crime for man to swear allegiance to Eng
land, if he goes TO reside in that country,
or any province belonging to it. They
don't see why a man should be pro
scrbed for swearing allegiance to the Eng
lish Government, when he is not prescribed
for swearing allegiance to other governments
They don't believe in Know Nothingism at
all, in any shape or form, but when it comes
to carrying Know Nothingism to such an
extent as this, that man cannot hold office
under the American Government because he
has once been a subject Of England, it is still
worse; it is a kind of Know Nothingism
that they will never stand.

The S. F. Herald expresses the following

not be found for them all, and humanity for
bids the possibility of our allowing them To

urgently require preventive measures against

ANOTHER OuTRAGE.-Many of our citizens
were somewhat surprised yesterday after
noon, at seeing policeman Keyser, with re
volver drawn, running across the street at the
intersection of and Third streets. followed
by Tom Rooney and Others with large cob
bles in hand. Officer Cody interferred and
was going to arrest Rooney. The latter de-
clined to be arrested (and was backed therein
by several friends, compatriots,) until Kevser
was first arrested, alleging that the latter had
drawn pistol on him without cause. Cody
subsequently arrested, seizing him bv the
cravat. Immediately a number of persons
interfercd and rescued him, one cutting awav
the cravat Of Rooney, Others assaulting the
officer Rooney was rushed off instanter bv
his friends, but will undoubtedly he found
somewhere within the jurisdiction of the Po
lice Court. 1t appears that Keyser, while
passing along the street quietly, was abused
10y Rooney in words, because he had previ.
ously arrested him for an assault with
deadly weapon-brass knuckles. Keyserad.
vlsed him to keep quiet, whereupon Rooney
thrust his hand into his pocket and drew out
ms orass knuckles. The officer then arrested
MN; but being assaulted by Rooneys at
tendants was compelled to retreat rs above
noted; A number of gentlemen who wit
messed the affair, advised the officer to shoot
as he should have done probably in selfde.

SECRETARY TOUCEY on TIE RIGHT OF IN.
srRucrIoN.-Some one, who appears to be
wei posted and signs himself "a Democrat" !"
thus writes to the s F. Call:
The Lecompton Democrats of this State
have overlooked the views of Mr.. Secretary
Toucey on the right Of Legislatures to in
struct u. ;. Senators, perhaps for the reason
that his case is the only one fairly committing
the present National Administrat on against
the doctrine of the "Broderick resolutions 3"
Hon. Isaac Toucey was one of the Senators
from the state of Connecticut in 1854, while
the Kansas n ebraska Act was pending in
Congress. The Legislature of CONNECTICUT,
then in session, instructed the Senators from
that State to vote against the Kansas Bill.
These instructions were received by Mr.
Toucey before casting his vote, and il expla-
nation for disregarding them, he denied the
right of the Legislature to instruct on nation
al questions While he did not doubt that
the people of Connecticut were opposed 10
the till he intended to support by his vote.
his duty to the Union, as United States
officer, compelled him to disregard the views
of any local Legislature, not excepting the
Legislature of his own State In 1854 this
was good Democratic doctrine Mr.. Toucev
was applauded by his Democratic colleagues
in the Senate His conduct was pronounced
patriotic and unseltish by them, for it was
clearly discernable that he sealed his politi-
cal doom in Connecticut by refusing to be
controlled by her Legislature, representing,
as it undoubtedly did, the popular sentiment
of that State
BY that act of independence and faithful
ness to the Constitution, Mr. Toucey won a
high position in the National Democratic
party. But for it, he would not now be
member Of President Buchanan's Cabinet.
for the strong point made by his friends in
urging his appointment on Mr. Buchanan
was his self sacrificing vote for the original
Kansas n ebraska Act This appointment
fully confirms the fact, that the present Ad-
ministration ,chen Il commenced its reiqn, was
sound on the question of Legislative nstruc
ton of Senators on national questions. Let
the supporters Of the Broderick resolutions
bear in mind that they are opposing Demo.
cratic doctrine" as acknowledged by the
Administration they profess to serve.

MYSTERIOUS DisAPPEARANcE-A day or two
