RIGHT.-Three miserable wretches
in Detroit, few days since, went to a
grove, where school pic mic was be-
ing held, and insulted a number of the
young ladies, by indecent language,
and actions not to be named, when Mr..
Thos. Towne, the well-known music
teacher advanced and requested them
to desist. Instead of doiag as they
were bid, Haggerty, one of the scoun-
drels, assisted by the others, knocked
Mr.. Towne down, kicked him in the
face and otherwise maltreated him.
when they were arrested by an officer
and lodged in Jail. Justice Bagg sent
the defendants up for ninety days
each, with year additional for Hag-
gerty in default of his giving bonds
in the sum of $500, to keep the peace
for that time. Served them right.

CALIFORNIA PoL1T1cs.-The Repub-
lican State Convention of California
met at Sacramento on the 1st Of June,
and nominated full State ticket, with
sound Republican platform. The
resolutions declare that the Republi-
cans of California are opposed, as
formerly, to the introduction of slavery
into the free Territories that they re-
pudiate the dogma that slavery exists
in all the Territories by virtue of the
Constitution that the corruption ofthe
Federal Administration demands the
sternest rebukes which can be admins
tered by - free people that they arc in
favor of a homestead Law, and are op-
posed to any unjust discriminating a.
gainst naturalized citizens.

Post Office War at Pokagon.


Mr.. EDITOR The deep believing
of distant artillery, on Thursday of last
week, betokened the approach of dead
ly strife. Almost suffocated with heat
and blinded by mingled clouds of dust
and smoke, Tobacco smoke) arrived
lust in time to witness one of the most
deadly pop-gun engagements, between
the two wings of the Democracy of
Pokagon that it has ever fallen to my
lot to record.
1t seems that by some sort of ledger
demain, the milk and water wing had
succeeded in gaining possession of the
keys of our village post office, while
the milk punch wing, Boosting double
portion of loyalty of the reign of King
James, claimed the right of preferment
in the Kings Court; and in the name
of their Sovereign, demanded an un-
conditional surrender of the keys.
This demand not being complied with,
the forces were drawn up in battle ar
ray; presenting an unbroken front OF
half a dozen on a side, who, after de-
liberately charging and discharging
mutual recriminations at each other
from their small arms until their pop
guns became too heated for further use
on that occasion, withdrew in good or
der to night quarters T; leaving the
wounded to the kind care of Doctor
Don Quioxte who says that the wounds
are neither deep or dangerous.
Thus ended another glorious strug-
gle for crum of the spolis. Lauda-
bic as the prize was, l cannot but re-
greet that our beautiful village should
be made the seatof war between the two
great factions of waning democracy, and
for the honor of sthe powers that be-
and the powers that acoatld be in 1860
hope the beligerants will kiss and
make up, and remember that their
little hands were never made to tear
each others eyes" r.

What Douglas meant.

The Washington States, one of the
central organs of the Slave Democra-
cy, and understood to be devoted to
the interests of Douglas, has undertaken
to give the key to the recent letter OF
Mr.. Douglas. 1t says:
In defining his position in his re-
cent letter, nothing more or less was
meant than that, if he could not con-
cientiously assume the leadership of the
Democracy, in accordance with certain
conditions imposed, which might be
proposed, he would prefer to cooper
ate dutifully as an humble individual
in the ranks. We shall see him in the
indomitable array of his energy, at
Charleston next spring, and in the
thickest of the fight in Illinois next
Autumn, aohatever may be oar platform
and achoeUer mag be our standard bear
er. He is thoroughly imbued with the
fact that such services as he is capable
of performing in the campaign of
next year, may be indispensable to the
preservation of the Union"
This is undoubtedly the truth.
Whether the platform OF the Charles
ton Convention takes grounds in favor
of slave code and the slave trade, or
against every doctrine Mr.. Douglas has
ever professed, we shall see him when
the time comes, "dutifully" sustaining
it. And whether the Convention NOM
mate James Buchanan, Tom Hyer, or
Fred Douglass, he will be found du-
tifully" supporting the Charleston can
didate also. We have before said that
Douglas did not mean that he was op-
posed to slave code, or the slave trade,
but simply that he would not be can
didate on such platform, as there
would he no chance for an election.
His organ now tells the public that he
Will support any other candidate
pledged to these infamous measures.
What, then, does his refusal to be a
candidate himself signify p Detroit

A General Eurouean War.


The time has now arrived when
very few days must decide whether the
European. war is to be confined to
Italy, or whether it must rage over the
continent. Prussia has taken step
which renderes her position in the
highest degree critical, and, being gen.
orally regarded as unnecessarily i'm
perilling the peace of Europe, meets
with universal condemnation. Her at
titude is one which may well command
the attention Of the belligerents; but
Austria on the one hand may not yet
be prepared to give up Lombardy, and
Louis Napoleon may be unwilling to
stop his victorious career on the west
bank of the Mincio. In either case,
her voice unheeded, the whole of Ger
many must plunge into the bloody are
ma. Contemplating the possibility of
such catastrophe, the London Times
says:- 80
What is the present position of af-
fairs on the Continent? The French
and Austrians are preparing for great
struggle on the Mincio; the French
fleet, of enormous strength, is ap-
proachiug Nonice, where it is said an
army is to be landed to take the Aus
TRANS in the rear. The consequence of
these acts is, that Prussia now threat
enes to enter actively into the dispute.
We learn that the Regent has announ-
ced that the line of the Mincio must be
considered as defense of Germany,
and that in this unwise decision he is
supported by the whole of the minor
States. Proposals will, no doubt, be
Immediately made to France, based on
this principle, and if they are rejected,
the entire Continent may be wrapped
in war; for Russia is making ready to
take the field, and the great additions
which have recently been made to the
Baltic fleet, will enable the Gar to
cooperate with his ally both by sea
and land. The first result of this will
be that the German marine, the most
considerable in Europe after that of
England, will be entirely at the mercy
of the French and Russian fleets.
Hamburg and Lubec, and Dantsic, as
well as Trieste, will be attacked, the
coast of Europe for hundreds of miles
put under blockade. and English rights
brought into jeopardy in every port of
the Federation.
