WHAT'S IN A NAME-Somebody writing to
to the Argus, at Stockton, tells story on
the Republican office, of that town, which is
a little funny. 1t seems that mining COM
pany named itself Ariel, after the delicate
spirit in the Tempest of Shakespeare, whose
province it was
ITO tread the ooze of the salt deep:
To run upon the sharp wind OF the North;
And do teork IN the veihs Of the Elrth."
This Company determined to have certif-
Gates of stock printed, with the name Ariel
prominently lettered thereon, and gave the
work to the Republican office. The learned
cotelie of that office, says the correspondent,
sat in judgment on the name, and after they
had thoi oughly manipulated Webster's Un-
abridged, and exhausted entirely their library
Of English words, it was wisely resolved, the
devil concur;ing, that no such ,cord could bt

The Position of Mr.. Rreckinridge.

Mr.. Breckinrigde has been led, by an in
ordinate ambition to accept position which
disgraces him. He has suffered himself to
become tool in the hands of the Disunion-
lists, who do not expect to elect him, but
think by the prestige of his former character
as lover of the Union, to get votes enough
away from the regular Democratic party to
greatly weaken it in the contest and thus
giveth Government into the hands of the Re-
puhlicans-which circumstance, they think,
will at once produce their long-wished-for
desire, u dissolution of the Union. That
Breckenridge has done violence to his own
character and opinions by thus suffering
himself to be controlled by Buchanan, Yam
cey, Cushing & Co. is apparent, from the
fact that he has always heretofore acknowl-
edged Douglas to be sound Democrat, and
a man to be trusted by the South. Not only
did he favor Douglas in his contest against
the Administration and the Republicans in
Illinois. but he declared himself friend of
Douglas up to the very time of the assem-
bling Of the Baltimore Convention. A
Washington correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press says:
"Prior to the secession demonstration at
Baltimore, and, it is confidently stated, be-
tween the Charleston bolt and that in the
City of Monuments, Mr.. Vice President
Breckenridge was in the habit of assuring
the Douglas men in this city that he 'coutd
take tie stump IN erery Northeastern State
for Douglas. should he be nomindted There
are hundreds who will remember his declar-
alton to this effect The truth is, he never
dreamed of being made tool by his embit-
tered enemy, james Buchanan until certain
men closed around him and put the cup to
his lips, and compelled him to conceal the
nauseous dose They had arranged the plan
of disunion long before, but he was ignorant
of it, ! have no doubt that, in his own
heart he deeply deplores the position he re-
luctantly assumed indeed, il is asserted that
since he has accepted the Disunion nomina
tion, he has. in moments of confidence to his
friends, in the deepest agony, regretted the
step he permitted himself to take
Well may he regret it. His political doom
is sealed. No man in the country had
brighter prospects than he. lie was young
and could have waited for the opportunities
of life. lie was popular, because he had
been union-o ing man. But, taking the
. nrsp that h.. bas he has lnst all that he had
gained in the affections of the people. They
perceive that he is without stability and that
he has sacrificed his principles to the pros
pect vague as it is, of ascending to the Exec
uiive seat of the Nation. lie is no more the
Breckenridge of former days. He has COM
nitted political suicide, and goes to his death
either exccrated as willful traitor or pitied
as a weak tool of more willy men.

at great length by S. B. Axtell and K. Nj.
Briggs, of Amador, and r. P. Hammond, of

their pledges and untrue to their supporters.

Wellers letter to the people of Amador
where he urged them to stand by the regular
organization, and said he should follow the

Governor Stevens being in constant inter
