The CALIFORNIA; Democracy ON III
Admt nlstratAOn.

ssThe cohesive power Of public plunder''
has failed to unite the Democracy of Cali
fornia, for the reason probably that they are
not as "h0.d up'' in that section as their
brethren in Iowa.
AT the recent State Convention of the Anti
Lecompton Democracy Of the Golden State
of the Pacific coast the following resolution
was adopted
ssResolved, That the Administration Of
James Buchanan, by its outrage on the rights
Of the people Of Kansas, its unrelenting pro-
soription Of tried and worthy Democratic
principles, its constant violation of the pledg
es which brought it into life, it's attempts to
make the Legislative subject to the Execu-
tive department, and its gross extravagances,
mismanagement and corruption, has forfeit
ed the respect and lost the confidence Of the
American people,"
There are three tickets in the field, and the
candidates for Governor are, John B. We'll
Ter, Lecompton John Curry, Anti Lecomp-
ton, and Leland Stafford, Republican.

TWO Days Later from Europe by the
Canada.
The Cunard steamship Canada arrived at
Halifax with news two days later than BY the
Baltimore. The dispatches thus far received
contain only letter from the New York
Times, purporting to give an account Of the
Great Battle Of Solferino by an eyewitness.
The substance Of the account is that the bat
tie commenced at FIVE O'Clock in the morning,
the Austrians being stationed on the big hills
and little hills in and around the village Of
Castiglionc, and the French occupying the
rest of the hills and the plain below. The
French opened the cannonade from the hills
under the eye Of the Emperor, who stood on
q high point above. The French drove the
enemy from the village and the posts nearest
it early in the day, though the Austrians
fought bravely and contested every inch OF
ground. The gradual retiring OF the Aus
trians induced the necessity of a change of
position on the part Of Napoleon, who fol-
lowed his victorious troops, and directed
their attacks upon the extending lines of the
retresting foe.
The Piedmontese, under their King, occu-
pied the extreme left, and were engaged in q
hotly contested fight with the Austrans all
day, but held the field and finally compelled
the Austrians to retreat from that portion of
the battle field. During the fore part of the
day the sun shone brightly, and the weather
was very hot, but towards evening thunder
storm rolled up and delivered itself for an
hour or so, and the cannonading was sus-
pended in compliment to Heavens Artillery.
The writer says the Austrians sustained an
overwhelming defeat, and that the loss in
killed and wounded was enormous, though
be cannot venture o conjecture as to the ac-
tual loss in round numbers.
Such is the purport of this important and
remarkable letter, purporting to have been
written on the battle field and telegraph ed
to the western papers.

EprroRs GATE Cry IL see an article in
the Fort Madison Plaindealer Of late dats,
copied from the estate Democrat" headed
aRalph P. Love-" being abusive and SLAM
derous in it's terms. In looking over the ar
tiole am disposed to think that it was writ
ten rather as q burlesque than in earnest
The writer sets out with the implied propo-
sition that Martin Van Buren, was once polit-
icaIly honest Ii the writer does honestly
believe this proposition, he should at once be
handed over to Barnum and turned to some
useful account.
The balance Of the article is one wholesale
batch Of falsehoods and ISLANDERS, and fully
known to be so by the author, If he knew Of
what he was writing. That Gov. Lowe is
q scholar, the equal Of any candidate for Su-
preme Judge now nominated by either party
that he is q high toned gentleman; that
he is o man Of clear discriminating and
impartial mind, of pure character and labo-
rious habits, none who know him will deny
who have any character for truth and homes
ty to risk by such denial.
Gov. Lowe has been resident of the Ter
ritory and State of Iowa for over twenty
years, most of that time in the active prac-
tice of the law, and at no time did he occsl-
py the position Of second rate Lawyer IN the
circuit in .chich he practiced. lie was for
four years Circuit Judge of Lee, Des Moines,
Henry, Louisa and Washington counties, q
District Astounding in legal talent. And du-
ring that whole time no lawyer, nor any one
else, was ever heard to complain of bis want
of legal ability or honesty of purpose. Gov.
Lowe is man of great goodness Of heart
and kindness of feeling, which sometimes
caused him to extend more ienity than some
thought that he ought to do as Judge. But
it was noble trait, and one too often lost
sight of by those who, for the time being,
are clothed with little brief authority.
| have lived in this District since it's first
organization, now % or "a years. have
attended most Of the Courts in this and some
of the adjoining counties. have been or
terms of intimacy and kindness with each
and oil the Judges of the circuit during al
this time. have known the opinion of tht
lawyers and people Of each Of these judges
during their judicial administration, and
now say that none, no not one Judge Ma
son, who esteem highly being one OF them
was more respected, both by lawyer ant
people, as an able, honest and faithful Judg
than Ralph p. Lowe. So we'll satisfied wa
every body with his judicial qualifications TO
the position, that at the end of bis term b
was offered the field without opposition, i
he would consent to be candidate for re
election. kEOkUk.

In the spring of '54 Senator Dodge voted
in the Senate of the United States in favor Of
the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise. AZ
the result, Slavery was admitted into oil the
Territory Of the United States, and the Kan
sas outrages blackened the pages of our his
tory. The people Of Iowa sat in judgment
upon that measure and that vote at the au-
tumn election Of that same year and rendered
their verdict condemning the measure and
dismissing Senator Dodge from service as q
Senator from Iowa.
The President of the United State, howev-
err, took him up when the people of his own
State condemned him, and rewarded him for
incorporating the sentiments of Iowa, with
mission to Spain. General Dodge now re-
turns with his pocket full Of rocks, and asks
the people to reverse their verdict, to ac-
knowledge their guilt and ingratitude, and
to endorse his course. Are the people of
Iowa prepared now to approve what they
condemned; do they repent their opposition
to Slavery extension, and are they willing
publicly to humble themselves in the dust
and elevate Dodge to the Chief Magistracy
OF the State?
Either the people we're wrong and Dodge
was right, else Dodge was wrong and the
people right. Dodge asks the people to con-
denim themselves and to acquit him, and en-
dorse and approve his course. Are the peo-
pie Of Iowa prepared to forego their self-rs-
spect and forfeit their reputation before the
world by tame surrender Of their own con-
victions and an absolute reversal of their de,
liberate judgment? Are they ready to yield
to the high sounding title and the immense
wealth Of an ex- Minister of Spain what they
would not grant to a Senator Of Iowa? Ar,
they ready to say by their votes, "Genera
Augustus Cesar Dodge, ex- Minister TO Spain
who voted for the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise and the extension of slavery, i
the true exponent of the sentiments Of tn
people of Iowa" Will they take up thi
confession: 'We have done evil in the sigh
Of the Shareholders and before the Admins
tration in the election of Grimes and Har
Ian, and we confess our sin, and as the frs
fruits OF our repentance We elect Geners
Dodge to the Chief Magistracy of the State
and promise to restore Jones and the old rec
ime to their accustomed seats"
Such will be the import Of bali9 cast fc
Dodge, and such would be the reading of hi
election to the office Of Governor.
