enough in the hands of the Broderick boilers,
have had the independence to nominate candi-

CTs- Mrs Lydia Sayer Hasbrouck, who
publishes at Middletown, Orange county, a
paper called the Sybil, devoted to dress re-
form, is discussing the question whether a
woman should change her name on getting
married, or retain her maiden name, adding
that she does not care whether she is called
by one or the other. 1t seems to us that she
would get at the whole matter in a more
ready way by discussing the question
whether women should get married at all.
If they will only make up their minds not to
get married, but to live and die old maids,
then their names, their rights, and all that,
will be taken care of safely This view of
the subject they have not generally taken.

subscribe to the Douglas doctrine of non-in-

that doctrine and will stand on it. though
"night and storm should close around him."
Do any of the leaders Of the Administration

believe in the enactment of slave code for

Congress taking the power of regulating their

Kansas-N ebraska Bill.
The simple fact that Douglas is in favor of
the acquisition Of Cuba, does not make him
anything else than the same Anti-Lecompton
Douglas tlat he was before, notwithstanding
the President happens to be for the acquisi
tion of Cuba also Douglas has been in favor
of that measure for years and it is not to be
supposed that he is going to abandon his IA

has happened to adopt it.

The Demnorncr of New Hnmnshire.

The Democracy of New Hampshire held
their State Convention, short time ego, and
as good as repudiated Mr.. Buchanan entirely.
They gave him credit for his foreign policy,
and for advancing the means of communica-
tion between remote sections of the country,
but that was about the extent of the limit to
which they were willing to go. They didn't
venture to endorse his "wise and patriotic
course as the court slang goes with refer
ence to Kansas" The Convention didn't
think it was wise and patriotic at all Not a
word did they say about enacting slave
code for Territories, and not word about
the Territorial policy of the President They
were willing to admit that Old Buck was
some on foreign affairs and mail contracts, but
they voted down the following resolution by
vote of 14O to Al:
"Resolged, That the Democracy of New Hamp-
shire cordially and heartily indorse and approve
of the measures and policy of the Administration
of James Buchanan, and that they believe the
same to be eminently wise patriotic, Just, and
well calculated in their practical operations to en-
hance the prosperity ofour common country, aud
maintain its honor untarnished at home and
abroad"

MURDER on KINGS RIVER, FRESNO CoUNTY.
L a. Whitnore, proprietor of Whit

county, was murdered in his own house on
or about the 9th of January, by DIR. Work
man. 1t seems, says the Mariposa Gazette,
that the difficulty originated out of the re-
cent Indian disturbances in that region.
Whitmore was opposed to the removal of the
Indians; hence feud arose beteen him and
those in favor of that measure An Indian
boy in the service of Whitmore, had caught
a pig in snares set to catch geese, and the
anti-Indian party, intending to make Whit
more responsible for the act, assembled at
his house, some II or Is in number Whit
more closed his doors and forbid their en-
