The Election.

The result of the election in this county Is
different from what was expected, as
general thing. by either the Lecompton OF
the Douglas party. The Douglas men ar
surprised and so are the Lecomptonites. Ii
is one of those changes Of the public mind
which belong to the phenomena of the rolit
ical atmosphere.
We have one consolation, in the almost
universal defeat which surrounds US, and that
is that this paper has remained true to prin-
ciple 1t has deviated neither to the righl
nor the left in the plain course upon which ii
started. 1t has sustained no candidates bu,
the nominees Of the regular and Legitimate
organizations Of the Douglas party. 1t has
sustained no fusion-adv dvocated no fusion
justified no flsion-known no fusion, and this
day it can as defantly as ever throw forth
the Douglas banner to the breeze. The Peo
pie at large must, perforee, give us the credit
Of honesty and sincerity of purpose. No man
can say. with truth. that we have advocated
any doctrines but those of the true and gen
uine Democratic party of this Union.
That the Douglas party has failed to carry
this county, at the election just closed, (the
fist failure which it has ever met in Old
Yuba) is no fault of ours If the people
prefer Lecomptouisn to pure Democracy,
we are very sure that we are not responsible
for the latitude of their consciences or the
narrowness Of their judgments. We do not
believe that they do prefer it. We think
the know the secret cause Of the defeat
with which our party has met. What
that cause is it matters not to say. The
county of Yuba is this day strong Douglas
county, and when the issue comes in 1861
upon fair and square Douglas principle the
stolen, accidental triumph Of Lecomptonism
in this present election, will he thing to be
laughed at-a mere interlude in the series OF
signal successes which have crowned, and will
hereafter crown, the great party Of the I'm
ion.
With our record thus pure and clear, the
columns OF the NATIONAL DEMOCRAT will be-
as heretofore, open to the PRONUNCIATION OF
sound Democratie principles fearing no op
position. as long as it is in the right; asking
no favors from its enemies demanding nC
support from the public but that which il
properly deserves as reliable newspaper
and conscientious public journal.
We are in no manner dauuted by the re-
suit of the election jnst ended. We know
well that the day Of our triumph must come
Sooner or later, the people must arise on(
shake from him the burden Of the too success
ful sycophants and lacqueys ofthe present Ad
mnisrHtion. Sooner or later this county
must redeem itself from the disgrace of hav-
ing even accidentally endorsed the Lecomp-
ton doctrine Till that time comes, we wait
patiently, resolved to stand By principle, if
need be, till the last man abandons the flag
of popular sovereignty, and sells his immor-
tai soul to the Devil and the Lecompton
party.

THE following letter from Stephen A. Dos.
glas, to Col. John L. Peyton Staunton, Of
Virginia, contains that distinguished Sena
TORS views on the naturalization question:
My DEAR SIR - You do me no more than
justice in your kind letter, for which accept
my thanks, in assuming that | do not concur
with the Administration in their views re
spectlnS the rights of naturalized citizens, as
defined in the lie Clerc letter, which, it is
proper to observe, have been materially mod
fled.
Under our Constitution there can be no
Just distinction between the right of hative
born and naturalized citizens to claim TIVE
protection of our government at home and
abroad. Unless naturalization releases the
person naturalized from all obligations which
he owed to his native country, by virtue of
his allegiance, it leaves him in the sad pre-
diehment of owing allegiance to two coun-
tries. without receiving protection from
either, dilemma in hich no American Cit
izen should ever he placed. Neither have
you misapprehended my opinions in respect
TO the African slave trade. That question
seriously disturbed the harmonv of the Con-
vention which framed the federal constitution.
Upon it the delegates divided into two par
ties. under circumstances which, for time
rendered harmonious action hopeless
The one demanded the instant and uncon-
ditional prohibition Of the Af lean slave
trade, on moral and religious grounds; while
the other insisted that it was legitimate
cor merce involving no other consideration
than sound public policy, which each State
ought to be permitted to determine for itself

,.lt
own position. until both became convinced
that this vexcd question would break up the
Convention, destroy the Federal Union, blot
out all the glories of the Revolution, and
throw away ali its blessings unless some fair
and just compromise could be formed on the
common ground of such mutual concessions
as were indispensable to the preservation of
their liberties and independence.
Such n compromise was effected and ncor
porated into the Constitution, by Which it
was understood that the African Slave trade
might continue us Legitimate commerce in
those states whose laws sanctioned it. until
the yea- 1903, from and after which time
Congress might and would prohibit it forever
throughout the dominion and limits of the
United States and pass all laws which might
become necessary to make such prohibitions
etfectuaL The harmony Of the Convention
was restored, and the Union saved by this
compromise, without which the Constitution
could never have been made. Island firmly
10y this compromise, and 10y all the compro-
mization of the Constitution, and shall use
my best efforts to carry each and all of them
into faithful execution in the sense and with
the understanding in which they were ori-
ginally adopted. IN accordance with this
compromise, am irreconcleably opposed to
the revival of the African slave trude. in apv
form and under any circumstances.

Yours, truly, S. A. DouGLAs.

TIMELY ApvIcE-The editor of the Medi-
cal Reformer remarks that, as in the spring
and elrly summer, the sensibilites of the di
gestiye organs are increased, the full diet Of
winter will, if persisted in, induce fever
This is by no means a new discovery. The
ancents named the month Of February, when
their spring began, from fe5r7an fever, and
wisely recommended, as preparative forthe
heats of summer, judieious exercise, light
diet, and the full and free use of water
Professor Holloway, the distinguished Eng
lish practitioner, has done something more
than this. He has discover and troduced
two remedies for all the arrangements Incl
dent to a change of temperature, which have
saved the lives of thousands Of uuacclimated
travellers and soiourners. in every region be-
tween the equator and the poles. When n
sudden transition from cold to heat produces
dyspepsia, liver complaint. fever, diarrhea or
dysentery, Holloways Pills seem to subdue
the disturbance in the system at once. and to
bring all its functions into harmony with the
new atmospheric influences by Which it is
surrounded Where the shock occasioned by
the change affects the shin or glands, the
Ointment, in combination with the Pills,
soou puts the internal organization into a
healthy condition.
Under these circumstances, common pru-
dence suggests the propriety of having both
remedies always at hand at the commence
ment of the summer, and of providing sup
ply Of them before starting ON a journey or
voyage In this climate, summer and dautumn
are, questionably, the seasons most preiu-
dicial to health, and therefore nothing should
then be left undone that viii have the
effect of forlifying and bracing up the sys-
TEN, purifying the blood, and putting the di
gestiye apparatus in good working order. So
far as our observation goes, Holloway's Pills
will infallibly secure these results Families
who have habitually used them for years as
a spring, summer and fall medicine, declare
that complete exemption from the com
plants usual at those seasons has been the
invariable consequence of their exhibition.
This we can readily believe, knowing as we
do, that they exercise triple influence upon
the internal organs. They purify the fluids.
remove Instructions, and invigorate the Iii.
gestive powers. There are few systems so
healthy ms not to require such helps to Ma
ture at this critical period of the year, and
it is therefore obJious that n course of Uollo
ways Pills is proI er as protective measure

DAMAGES AT SEA.-Alfred Staffleboch, a
minor, has commenced suit in the Fourth
District Court, through his uncle, X Stafile-
boch against james I. Watkins, master of
the steamship Golden Age. The Bulletin,
in speaking of the affair, says the plaintiff
was engaged as a seaman on the vessel, and,

his arms were placed before him and again
ironed for fourteen hours longer. The locker

TnEATER New Orleans English Op
era Troupe performed last evening, to a
crowded house. Carl Maria Won Weber's
great masterpiece. Der Frei,hutz was TIE
attraction. Miss Durand's Agatha was acted
and sung with splendid effect. Mr.. Lysters
Caspnr was one of the finest impersonations
that have been witnessed upon the theatrical
boards of California. His appearance was
imposing and in perfect accordance with the
character assumed. His rendition of the
aria. "Re'enge." in which the renowned Carl
Formeo is so distinguished, exhibited powers
of vocalization and dramatic talent which TO
say the least, were extraordinary. Mr.. Ire
vor as Max, displayed most excellent voice
and won much admiration Miss Kings Anna
was fine performance. The little that Mr..
Boudinot had to perform was admirably
done
Tonight is positively the last night in our
city of this magnificent troupe, when the
grand fairy opera of Cinderella will be pre-.
sented. Secure your seats early, for the
house will be thro nged.
