vassng tour through Trinity, Siskiyou, Del
NOrte, klamath and Humboldt. They are both

COL. TINGLEY, after canvassing that coun-
ty, wrote to the San Francisco Times that the
Republicans would carry Shasta county in No.
vember. The Courier says there is not single
Republican in the county who would hazard the
assertion.
OWN claims great credit for the meagre
mail facilities enjoyed by California, and, to the
public ear, relies upon them for reelection After
twelve years of labor in this respect, the fact is
undeniable that, the public Of California rely

Day RE&ARK.-There was a Breckinridge
mass meeting at Stockton, lately. A Bell and
Everett man present, looking at the crowd a
while, turned his head in disgust and said,
"Why, d-n it, there isn't Breckenridge men
enough here to lynch an AbOitiOnist ~
--CoNNEcTICUT.-T Democratic State Con-
vention, held at Hartford, August 3Oth, resulted
in the nomination of clear Douglas electoral
ticket There were some four hundred delegates
present, the Breckenridge wing being in the mi
nOrity.
--PRENTcE says that between a Douglas
fever and a Breckenridge sweat, office holders
have a hard time generally. Their feelings lie
on one side their bread and butter on the other,
and they themselves he generally.
How HE RETmED.-The S. F. Herald re-
ports The Sacramento speech of Senator Gwin,
and says " he retired amid the widest enthusi-
asm." When be makes bis final retirement the
enthusiasm will be wilder yet.-NaysUWe Appeat
-WE learn from the San Francisco Evening
Mirror that J. G. McKibbin will soon commence
a stumping tour of the State for Douglas and
johnson.
Why SENATOR GREEN SUPPORTS BREcKIN-
RIDGE" Isupport John G.. Breckenridge because
he has never Travelled up and down the river on
the decks Of steamboat, adv dvocating his own
election to the Presidency ; he has never descen-
ded into beer saloons and drank lager in order
to gain popularity with the vulgar rabbe."
-PREFERs LINC0LN.-The Providene R ~
Press, Douglas paper, speaking of the friends
of Mr. Breckenridge, says: "Coaliton with
them therefore must be too repulsive for honest
Douglas men to indorse, even to defeat Linooln,
whose stra ght- -forwardness has the hearty in
dorsement of Douglas himself"
-IT is an unaccustomed sound for Demo
Gratis to hear their party friends abused and Will
fled as Mr.. Douglas is doing, while he has no
word of condemnation for Lincoln. He is doing
faithfully the work of a Black Republican ennis
sary. He ntters no untruth. The defeat of the
Democracy, and the triumph of Lincoln, are OBJ
jects which cause him to stump the country. In
none of his speeches has he uttered a sentiment
against Mr. Lincon-in all he has shamefully
and falsely assaled the man whose support he
but recently sought-RichmOnd (Va.) Inquirer.
THE statement that Mr.. Dallas, our Minis
for IN I'm 0Jand bad announcad bimsolf In e, Won
of Douglas, is said to be false. Very necessary,
we suppose, that Mr. Dallas, in England should
declare in favor of somebody, and yet hardly
advisable that he should say Douglas. A press
ing invitation to visit the American continent
might follow.
---SToP THE FALsEH0oD.-TI latest and big
gest and most mpudent fasehood originated aud
circulated by the frightened Douglasites is, that
Chief Justice Taney is in favor of their IDOL and
approves of his construction of the Dred Scott
decision The idea is preposterous. Judge Ia
ney is profound jurist, consistent Democrat,
and an ardent supporter of Breckinrdge and
LanesL.Mountdn Democrat.
On that point there seems to be a standing
dispute. The Douglas journals in this State long
ago came to the conclusion that Taney was with
them, notwithstanding which the Breckenridge
papers pronounce it unblushng falsehood We
are anxious to know to which idol fancy posi-
lively adheres.
SENATOR GwIN says, that if the election of
President does not go into the House, Lincoln
will be elected but if it go to the House,
Breckinrdge will have it.
-THE N Y. Herald has correspondent who
comedies the eight electoral votes of MARYLAND
to Bell and Everett another who says that Lou
isiana will aid in secession if cold Abeu pets in
the White House easy chair, and still another
who honestly believes that the Bell Everetts will
carry every Southern State but South Carolina.
-THE Peoria Ull) Democratic Union, a
Douglas journal. admits that in speech at Car
rolton, Illinois, in 1874, Stephen A. Douglas use
the following language in relation to Henry
Clay Henry Clay is a blackhearted traitor,
and the only American statesman who ever sold
himself for British gold"
If Douglas ever made such unkind remark, he
