Daily national Democrat., 1860-10-02
Judges Taney and Nelson.

!
The Washington City States and Union
declares authoritatively that Chief Justice
Ianey, the author of the bred Scott opinion,
Is a supporter of Douglas As the Breckin-
rdgers use that opinion as almost their sole
justification for botting the regular nomina-
tions of Douglas and johnson, they have found
it necessary to contradict the statement Ac.
coldingly, not being able to get u Democratic
paper to utter the falsehoud they had to fall
back upon the opposition for aid and comfort.
And now We find them quoting, exultantly, !
from the Baltimore American, the declaration
that Judge fancy will vote for Breckenridge.
The baltimore American has been fur years
the Interest sort of an opposition pqper-in
short, has exhibited undoubted Black Rcpub-
licon leanings, aud justified Winter Davis in
voting for u Black Republican Speaker of the
House of Representatives But that is the
sort of authority that tie Breckenridge prints
now love to quote. With them the voice of
a Burlngame, Lovejoy. or any other foul
mouthed, lying abolitionist, against Douglas,
is as holy writ" Charges coming fl ON such
black and dirty sources, they roll as a sweet
morsel under their tongues"
The truth is, in our opinion, there is no
doubt but that Chief Justice Taney is really
a supporter of Douglas ltis impossible that
he could have any sympathy with a party,
called into existence through the Vaccinations
of lot of hot heads who for years have been
plotting the destruction of the American
Union. He knows that Yancey, Rhett, Davis.
and men of that stripe. have for years favored
division of the Union and the establishment
of a Southern Republic-and loving the
Union as he does his life and honor, he cannot
possibly sympathize with them in their en-
deavors to consummate their mad and trea-
sonable designs
What have the Yanceyites to say to the
fact. as announced by his own town paper,
that Justice Nelson, who concurred in the
bred Scott decision, is also, ike fancy,
supporter of Douglas ?-ShaSta Courier.
DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT COLUMBIA The
Columbia Times independently Of Thursday,
has the following:
There was very large and enthusiastic
meeting of the friends of Mr.. Douglas in this
city OH Monday evening, who were addressed

ton, and that he was regularly and fairly the
nominee of the Democratic party.
Governor Downey was next introduced
and was received with a perfect tumult of
applause and cheering.
The Governors speech did not occupy more
than ten minutes in its delivery but during
that time, pin might have been heard to
drop such was the attention and silence of
the immense crowd
Col. Briggs, Of Amador, was then introduce
ed, and received with three cheers. This
gentleman delivered q most powerful and
telling speech
There must have been at least a thousand
persons present, and considering that it was
on Monday, the very worst day in the week,
to hold a meeting in the mining districts it
speaks volumes for the interest taken in both
the speakers and their purpose, that so large
meeting was gathered particularly as but
little notice of the meeting was given.
