Gaining Ground.

1t is evident that the Anti Lecompton De-
mocracy of this State have been steadily
gaining ground since the commencement of
the present campaign. The candidates
brought out by them for the various State
offices, are oil acknowledged to be men well
fitted, both morally and mentally, for the
positions to which they were nominated
The Anti Lecompton Convention met with
the determination to select good ticket, and
they did. Judge Currey, our candidate for
Governor besides being man of acknowl-
edged intellect, and an able jurist, is man of
uninpeachable character. From the people
of the State wherever he has has been, he
has won golden opinions"
On the other hand, the Lecompton State
Convention placed at the head of its ticket
the name of man whose moral character
has been impeached before the great bar of
the State. That name rests like dead weight
upon the ticket. The Lecomptonites made a
great mistake in nominating Milton S. La
tnam for Governor. They should have been
more careful. They should have ascertained
whether or not, their candidate for Governor
was vulnerable.
1t cannot be disputed that the LecomptOn-
ties have lost much through Mr. Latham's
nomination. The report of his arraignment
before the people, has gone to every part OF
the State. His accusers have spoken, and he
has replied in his own defense. The defense
and the accusations and the evidence will
alike be weighed, and the people will judge
rs to their respective merits. The fact is
that Latham has lost in popularity vastly
since the opening of the campaign. The
chief ground, we believe, upon which Mr..
Buchanan's supporters in this State base their
hopes of success is In the result of the last
Gubernatorial election. They appear to for.
get that since that time, the Administration
to which they are welded has lost its prest.
age. Since that time, it has lost the conf
denee of the people, to an extent never be
fore witnessed in any other Administration.
1t is emphatically shutting and a quibbling
Administration, the like of which was never
seen before Are we to be told that the
strange freaks of the Administration, dishon.
orable to itself and to us people, will have
no influence whatever in this or any other
State? Let not the Lecomptonites console
themselves with that idea. Though this
State has been ridden by Lecomptonites. with
Gwin at their head, the opposition to the
miss-rule of James Buchanan, as evidenced
in many Of the Atlantic States, gives us good
ground to hope that the opposition here will
not be frutless.

Letter from EagleviIIe.
EAeLEv1LLE, Yuba Co, Aug. 81.

EAGLEvILLE, Yuba Co, Aug. Il.
EDITOR NATIONAL DEMooRAT:-The elee-
tion is close at hand and as a consequence,
candidates of every political shade are
"sloshing" around the all pine hills of Eagle
vile, and occasionally favor our place with
call. Last night our citizens assembled at
the Eagleville Hotel, and were most eloquent
ly addressed by G. E. De Long, candidate for
State Senator, in which the young man
eloquent" in .nost courteous and gentleman
ly language, laid bare the foul blots upon the
Administration of James Buchanan, most et
fectually. Mr.. De Long seemed and spoke
as if he wore the armor of truth and justice,
and was fully able to carry the Douglas Ban
ner into any camp, or into the very strong
hold of any foe to the principles of popular
sovereignty-and in the end cry, victory
In fact Charley spoke from the record and
made many friends for himself and the Doug
las cause.
AT the conclusion of De Longs speech
Mr.. Shngerland, candidate for Sheriff, was
called for and made his appearance on the
stand and in short speech defined his po-
sition on the national politics of the day in
a satisfactory manner, showing conclusively
that in matters political he was a sound
Democrat.
Our population is getting somewhat thined
out in consequence of the failure of water,
yet we will show good account of ourselves
on the 7th of September, and by our acts, (as
heretofore) will contrive to hold the power
as the banner precinct of Yuba.
Yours SoBI.

Our Prospects.

The prospects Of the Democratic party are
such as to encourage every man who respects
the principles of that party more than the
would.be dictator who seeks to set them
aside We find the Democracy of Maine
planting themselves firmly upon the Douglas
platform The disastrous defeat of the Ad-
ministration boilers in Illinois is matter of
history. The majority by which the cleo
toral vote of Virginia was cast for Buchanan
is almost decimated. Senator Pugh has, in
Ohio, unfurled the banner of Popular Sover-
eighty in the face of Federal pets and the
frowns Of the President-Tennessee is about
to pronounce, by majority of thousands.
against the vile schemes and utter dtmorai-
cation of Buchanan's administration while
even portion Of the press of South Carolina,
disgusted with the Presidents bid for the
support of the South by proposition which
Senator Hammond says should have been
"kicksd out of Congress" has boldly pro-
claimed itself in favor of Stephen A. Douglas
and his National doctrines. We find the
friends of Buchanan in the Vicksburg Con-
vention recoiling under the scathing rebuke
of Gov. Foote, in their efforts to pass resolu-
tions endorsing the re opening of the Slave
Trade, and setting the laws of the country at
defiance. The great State of New York,
with her powerful vote, will appear at the
Charleston Convention possessing the true
organization, and advocating the claims of
Douglas while the entire Northwest, repu-
dating the LIE Clerc and Hofer letters, as the
North has repudiated fraudulent Kansas
policy, will demand the nomination of the
great leader who has been true to the pledges
of the party and to common honesty. Turn
ing to our own State, we find the people
everywhere arrayed against GwIN and the
Administration; and the office holders who
but recently wore an air of confidence, are
dismayed to find themselves placed on the
defensive by the startling disclosures and bold
denunciations of Senator Broderick. Truly
the signs promise stout rebuke to misrule
and incapability. 1t devolves then upon the
Democracy of Yuba county to be fully up
with their friends abroad in the present con-
test. and nothing less than a clear majority of
five hundred ballots, fairly cast at the ballot
box on the day of election, will convince us
that every Democrat has done his whole
duty.

WHAT ARE THE AIMS OF LOUIS NAPOLEON p
This question was asked some time ago and
is asked now. 1t was asked ht the time that
he commenced the great work of strengthen
ing the fortress of Cherbourg. At that time,
some said he was making ready for war
with England, and that he intended to pass
over Dover and take John Bull by the horns.
Some diplomatists may then have dreamed
Of his war with Austria, but nobody else did
Since the conclusion of that war, the question
is, what next2 Louis Napoleon is a great
ruler. He is the wire worker in the politics
of Europe, 1t is said that he brought Eng
land into the fight against Russia, and made
use of Russia to keep England in check while
he humbled the power of Austria. Is he now
looking forward to war with England
Some affect to believe that he is. In this
connection we quote the following from the
Cincinnati Gazette:
That there is next in order a terrible retri
button menaced against the ancient enemy of
France, there can scarcely be n doubt. To
march from Lombardy to London is included
among the dreams of Napoleon the Third ;
and, in the words of recent French journal
ist, 'the end will be contested with all the
pride and patriotism. and with all the ambi-
tion to decide the destiny of Europe in new
fields of blood, Of which the present French
Empire is capable"
