Of popular sovereignty" shall gush from the organ
the stump, aud finally the anticipated triumph will be
where it was last year.
A Broderick caucus held last week the " mid
night conclave" determined that popular sovereignty
lacks but material thing-a Judge Taylor Judge
Taylor would perfect the great principles and shove
the Union on to glory. Elsewise the country would
lose its identity and sink to disgrace We must
work. said the conclave, We must help the Democrats
to bolt the District Judgeship "then." said Taylor
I'll be Judge !" !" them" said the Doctor Wel give

1t was agreed that Broderick should be kept under
the shadow of popular sovereignty; that Republican
aid should be cautiously solicited and that the projected
Judge should sustain the incompetency of the organ
while the Doctor would act commander chief to in
huence and command the people.
WE'LL let the fight come as it has been fixed up. The
National Democracy will be united, the people will be
more than dsgnsted with the efforts of few who
possess neither the merit of principle nor the ability to
deceive.

jump the river and half succeeded had he cleared the
stream and had the deer been unable rum he might
have caught it. The frightened animal recrossed the
river below town and followed by several men on
horses and mules followed by dogs and cheered by the
crowd assembled Durgan bridge. The deer escaped
and has sympathy and best wishes for its long life
and happiness. We such determination to
run down innocence made that day, and the
triumph which achieved by feetness of foot did
as good to see
