Opinion of a Black Republican

The San Francisco Tlmes the Black Re-
publican paper of California, on hearing of
the interview lately had at Philadelphia be-
tween Senator Douglas and Forney, on the
Presidential question, ventures the following:
"Forney is a shrewd politician, and evident
ly is bent on beating out the pro oslavery De-
mocracy. That he and Douglas will take
different paths, is now quite evident, This
we have long foreseen. Doug las rs believer
in the peculiar institution, and is anxious to
get back into the ranks of the national"
Democracy, so redolent with Ethiopian odor.
Forney, on the contrary, like Broderick, has
hatred for the chivalry only equaled by his
contempt. Of course, the three cannot long
keep company. Neither Broderick or For
ney can 20 down to Charleston without self
abnegation and qualification. But Douglas
will do that for the sake Of keeping up bis
African afiiation."

The DRINKING CAPACITY OF CALIFORNIA.
In view Of the immense amount of spirits,
wines, and malt liquors imported into Cali
forna for the six years terminating with
1858, the ability Of our people to consume
these beverages to large extent admits of
no question. In the six years named, we i'm
ported l5,l94,l5s gallons of ardent spirits,
5,5ll,732 gallons Of wine, and 2o5, ,o96
packages of malt liquors; while, during
considerable portion of that time, the home
production of these articles was rapidly as
suming Importance. Previous to the last
year, the expectation of liquors from this
port was not sufficiently significant to war
rant much attention. The gold discoveries
north, however, and the large emigration in
that direction, gave rise to some demand on
this market, and we exported during 1858
about 10000 gallons Of ardent spirits, to-
gether with some wines and malt liquors.
The distlleres and wine presses of the State,
however, must have quadrupled the amount
named, in the way of production. In 1857,
Los Angeles county alone produced $4,000
gallons of wine, and 10000 gallons of BRAN
dy; and doubtless the five large distilleries
and eighty-six breweries in the State turn
out annually large amount of liquor, fer
mented or otherwise, that is consumed here,
independent Of importations.
