What il has Effected


the sentiment of majority of the Democratic
parfy in California. The defeat of the Doug
/ las party, strictly so called as contra .distin-
guishel from the Administration organiza-
tion, has been owing to the fact that many
strong Douglas Democrats were unwilling to
leave what they termed the regular organi-
cation Of the Democratic party. They were
mistaken in supposiug that any organization
could possibly be a regular organization of
the Democracy which did not avow Demo-
cratic principles But the notion could not
lie beaten out Of their heads, and so they
voted against men outside of the Lecompton
ranks whom they knew to be the truest and
best friends that Douglas ever had in this
State. Had they possessed the manliness to
come ont from their so called Irregular" or
ganization and voted as their principles and
consciences should have directed, the Doug
las party would this day be ruling the State,
and ready to send staunch Douglas del, gates
to the Charleston Convention, for, the Le-
compton faction would in that case, seeing
themselves fairly beaten before the people,
have readily changed their tactics and have
come into the ranks of the Democratic ma
jorty. thus re uniting the party. AS the
cuse stands now, the Lecompton leaders may
patch up things so as to send delegates to the
National Convention thoroughly hostile to
Douglas, and, if any one O. jects, the cry will
be raised Down with you! We have got
the regular organization !" With this hurrah
about he regular organic tion. we would not
be surprised o see them cut politically the
throat Of every Douglas man within that or
| ganiza.ion in the limits of the State. they
crying for help in the meantime from the
thirty thousand Douglas men outside Of that
organization.
Nevertheless. this separate organizing of a
Douglas party has not been without its
! wholesome results. 1t has prevented the
Lecompton faction from denouncing Stephen
\. Douglas 1t has shown them that they
dared not do it. 1t has also driven them
from the position which they were willing to
assume, in favor of Congressional Slave
/ Code for the Territories, when the celebrated
debate took place on that sui ject between
Douglas and Brown in the Senate of the Uni
ted States 1t has made them crawfish from
many position which they would otherwise
have assumed. 1--WE are as good Douglas
men MS you are" sid the hypocrtes. ''and
Douglas is with us He goes for regular or
,s. :. 4 1
Douglas suppo Is Mr.. Buchanan" Thus did
they talk and buster, when ut the very mo-
men they would have cursed Mr.. Douglas
through their Kissing teeth. they had dared.
In private they damned him, and in public
they extoled him.
1 Furthermore, this separate Douglas organi
ziton has forced them at all times before the
people to use Douglas thunder. They have
been compelled to appeal to the masses in
The name of Douglas and, if they cheat those
mas eS 10y sending enemies Of Douglas to the
Charleston Convention, it will all he done in
the name of Douglas. 1t is astonishing how
people can be so gulled, but sensible men
have long ceased to wonder at anything.
We think that the masses Of the Douglas
men in this State must come together, in some
shape or other, before the election Of dele
gates to the Charleston Convention. 1t would
seem Incredible that a strong Douglas State
| like this should send delegates to that body
hostile TO the great champion of popular
rights. Yet this will even be the case if the
proper steps are not taken in some manner or
other to unite the two forces of the Dougns
strength now represented in the existing Lee
compton and Anti-Lecompton organizations.
We expect to see political leaders in the
50 called regular organization" respond fa-
vorably to this sentiment, while from the ex.
ponents of the straight.out Buchanan doc
trines we expect to hear i: repudiated vehe-
mently. 1t will not take long, on an issue
ofthis kind to see who, in the late canvass.
have been the true friends of Douglas and
who have not. His true friends desire to see
delegates favorable to him for the Presidency
go to the Charleston Convention Such dele
gates can be sent, but it wont be done by
howling "Black Republican" at every Demo
cratin the State who voted against the Le-
compton ticket in the recent election.
OLD BoREAs.-The wind has been blowing
continually for several days. Yesterday, il
was particularly dsagreeabe. The subject
inspired our Devil, who begged leave to add
scme verses to the one which our local repor
ter reeled off, the other day. (while duly
sOber!) } on the previous windy weather. The
verses ran thus:
The wind it blew,
The dust it flew,
And few all sorts of garments;
And flew 50 fast
The ladies past
You scarce could see the varmiHts.
The which our Devil admired C) very
much and added the annexed, which he begs
we will put in print
With sails all spread,
They forward sped,
Like ships with brcezes spanking.
With whirl AID whiz,
Aud skirts that rz,
Aud lips their good luck thanking;
With flying feet,
And ankles neat,
That q ,shed thro' dust envailing,
CThe Devils eyes
Stretched tyic, their size,)
