Interior Correspondence.

Ed NATIONAL DEMOCRAT: :-COl latch ana
l. G. MeQuad addressed the citizens of this
place on last Monday evening. Hatch led
off in speech of some length, first rendering
the floor to Judge Mott, who was present.
Mott declined, saying that the meeting, ac-
cording TO programme, was exclusively
Hatch's, and did not wish to PARTICIPATE
Hatch is a speaker of no mean order, but
failed to meet the anticpations of his friends.
He attempted to prove that james Buchanan
acted rightly in recommending Che ought to
have said forcing) the admission of Kansas
under the Leconpton Constitution. He en-
dorsed the Administration doctrine on natur-
alzation, and called upon foreigners of all
classes to stand by and support the admins
traton of James Buchanan He said that
the Douglas party in this State might posi-.
bly, live until the 7th of September, but after
sun,down on that day they would be known
no longer and would be remembered only as
things who had miserable existence for a
while. The Douglas party in this county,
he said, should be decently inferred alongside
of their defunct Know Nothing brethren, and
that the victors for he was sure of his party
being victorious) would follow in the funeral
train to the grave that was already open to
receive them. Poetical, isn't it? When he
made the charge of Know Nothingism, he
struck directly into the centre of his own
ill.gotten ticket, and those of that ticket who
had been Know Nothings and who were pres
ent, felt the force of the remark as the eyes
of at least one half the meeting were turned
on them. Hatch has done well not to pack
Watkins around any longer. He was un-
doubtedly but burthen on his hands, for he
never spoke at any place, though repeatedly
called fer, to my certain knowledge at three
places.
Hall was present. He appears to be a
good, jovial fellow, but he is on the wrong
side and eanrot honestly expect to be elected
Sheriff of this county.
Mr.. Shirkland, the defeated Lecompton
candidate for Sheriff, is making the tour with
Mr. Hall and exhorting his friends to vote
against Messrs. DeLong and Singerland.-
lie had some friends when he run for office,
but the course he has seen fit to pursue against
DeLong and Slingerland has lowered him in
the estimation of those who were his friends
then.
Wickersham was with the crowd. He is
after the office of Recorder with big stick,
and hopes to succeed by stealing silent
marches through the county, always taking
care to be at a prudent distance from any of
the Anti.Lecompton candidates. He says
Gorham is a very good man, but he (W.)
wants to be Recorder himself, but forgot to
say that he has held the office for the last
two years, and got rich enough to be able to
spend the "Oro' in trying to win this time.
He insists that he is Democrat, but never
mentions the fact that he was one of the
earliest who joined a Know Oothing wigwam
in Marysville. He said that the Administra.
tion ticket, State and County, was made up
of the very best men in the country, but
appeared wholly unconscious of their aban-
donment of the time-honored principles un-
der which the Democracy have heretofore
succeeded
When McQuaid took the stand, he COM
menced to harangue the few who remained,
in his usual b'hoyish style, abusing Black
Republicans, blue-belied Yankees wooden
nutmegs, and clocks, and all other Yankee
ingenuity. Mac is, believe, candidate for
District Attorney in Sutter county, but has
been in this portion Of Yuba for the past few
weeks electioneering against the Douglas
ticket and especially against Mr. DeLong.
Taken altogether Mac is an invaluable man,
and | cannot see how the good people of
Sutter can spare his services away from their
county. 1t is foregone conclusion that
whatever side Mac belongs to is sure to he
defeated, and his electioneering now is ma
king friends for the Douglas ticket. Botngle
was not present at the meeting here, but wa:
AT Camptonville, where he cad twenty five
or thirty extracts, as old as the hills, ant
with which every one is familiar. His tai
ents were eXtolled in a communication from
Camptonville, but for the life of him he can
not attempt anything like speech.
Yours, ZAcK.
