FLUSHING.
Glorious New from. California.
(From the st. Louis Democrst)

(From the St. Louis Democrat.)i
The Pony Express arrived a. Fort Kear-,
ney on Saturday night with news from Cali.
fornia to November sth-a little more than
nine days old Yesterday. in addition to
our regular dispatches, which indica,e i'm.
mense Republican gains all over the State.
so much SO that politicians are surprised
we received the following Telegram giving
later reiurnr:
SAN FaAscIsco, " Y. 8.,4PM.)
Via FORT KEARNEY, Nov. H..
Editors Missouri Democrat: About 90,
0o0 votes are returned. Lincoln is ahead Of
Douglas 25oo, and expected TO carry the
State. Breckiurdge is behind both.
WIZ. RiBt.
Secy Stste Central Committee.
This news is not surprising. Our dis
patches and private letters for two weeks.
have predicted very heavy Republican gains.
and in few instances a plurality for Lin.
coin Ia the State. the counties to bs
heard from are probnbly the Northern and.
Southern coast counties, including Mendo.
cino, Klamath, Humboldt, Del Norts, Mon--
trey, Santa Barbsra, San Luis Obispo. San
Bernardino, and a few others. The Fre--
mont vote was vero heavy Iin the Southern
coast counties and light in the others. From,
tbs tenor Of the di patches it evident that's
political revolution has awept over the Stat
and the effect of it may be seen in the vote
pf San Francisco, which, last year, stood
for Governor: Republican, 8 O27: Admins,
frath n Democrat, 4,747; Anni-Lecomp:on,
Democrat, 2943 Now II gives Jinroln q .
poo majority and the reports say that Brsck--
nr'dgs, whose p rty last year carried the
State by 10000 over the uni,ed Opposition
kRepublican and Anti. Leeompton, ) 10 now
the third candidate at the polls. This result
shows that parties have been complstslv
broken up since the death OF Brodorick and
we are not without hope that Lincoln has
carried the State. although the Il. gular dis
pa ch contradicts our special Telegram given
above. II would be u fitting conclusion of
the splendid victory thai ths Republic N.
have achieved in every State On this side, If
'he next news confirms the Anticipated
triumph on the Pacific. Al all events, an
other year is all that will be required To-
wheel California and Oregon in the column
of sure Republican Stat,s.
Not the least. gratifying feature OF tho
incl gence- received by this arrival, is the
news of the certain defeat of Wm N Gwin
BY the next Legislature We may 90 well
CONT him out of the new Senate. Joe
Lane and Gwin have been close partners in
political vilany in the Senate, and they
VIII 60 out together. Brodeiick 10 thrice
avenged.

DEMOCRATIC CoRRUPT1oN.

The Committee appointed by Congress
to investigate the alleged corruptions of
high officials, are developing scenes of
fraud and peculation, bribery and cor
ruption, before undreamed of. 1t will
be remembered that Buchanan sent in
his solemn protest against the investiga-
ton, This aroused suspicion that
there were darker scenes behind the cur
tain than even rumor had breathed to
the public. This is now proved to be
| true.
The Committee found on the books of
the Bank of the Metropolis, that many
! hundreds of thousands of dollars had
been placed there and checked out by
Wendell, the Public Printer, and others
in the employ of the Administration !;
while the books were SO kept as pur-
posely to conceal the names Of the par
ties to whom it was paid. The books
are full of such entries as these: "To
save the Union, S50,O00," &C. But the
Bank officers would give no information
to the Committee. They therefore sum-
moned Wendell, himself, who has been
several times before them, and although
reluctantly, of course, has made disclo
sures which appall the guilty parties.
He testifes that ten thousand and even
fifteen thousand dollars accre giren for a
single rote in Congress in favor of the pas
sage of the English bill!' This is only
specimen. That open: direct, corrupt
bribery has been the common practice
of the Administration, is proved by the
sworn testimony of its own tools, before
the committee. The report, when COM
pleted, will show the most rotten, fester-
ing corruption in the bosom of the Ad-
ministration, which ever preyed upon
the vitals of any Government. The
whole country will be startled by the
disclosure, if, indeed, the magnitude of
| the crimes it discloses does not make it
appear like fiction.

GOV. sEwARD's PREDICTIONS VER-
IFIED.


The result at Charleston is a remark
able verifcation of what Gov Seward told
the Democrats on the floor of the Senate
some years ago when they were passing
the Nebraska and Lecompton bills. In
his speech of March 18th, 1854, he said
Senators from the slave holding States
You, too, suppose that you are securing
peace as we'll as victory in this transac-
ton. | tell you now, as l told you in
1850, that it is an error. !; 4; Even
if those whom you denounce as faction
lists in the North, would let it rest, you
yourselves must evoke it from its grave
< !: Hereafter, when having taken ad-
vantage-which in the North will be
called fraudulent-of the last of those
compromises, to become, as you will be
called the aggressors, by breaking the
other, as will be alleged, in violation of
plighted faith and honor, while the
slrvery agitation is rising higher than
,vyr before, and while your ancient
friends, and those whom you persist in
regarding as your enemies, shall have
b zen driven together by common and
universal sense Of your injustice, what
new mode of restoring peace and har-
mony will you then propose? What
statesman will there be in the South
then, who can bear the flag of truce?-
What statesman in the North, who can
mediate the acceptance of your new pro-
posals? x x Agitation of slavery
must go on in some form; for all the
world around you is engaged in it. 1t
is, then, high time for you to consider
where you may expect to meet it next
| much mistake if, in that case, You do
not meet it there, where we, who once
were slave holding States, as you now are,
nave met, and, happily for us, sue
cumbed before it,
Again, when the Lecompton Bill was
, under consideration, two years ago, he
said:
This whole controversy is at last re-
duced and contracted into quarrel on
your part for revenge against wise advi-
sers. Instead Of listening to their coun-
sels, you will suppress their remonstran-
ces and punish their authors as mutt
hOCio. 4NCh CI ehOiCoo, JOu Will uOt
succeed in dlscrediting and prescribing
them; for either you provide for yourself
defeat, which the signs Of the times in
dictate, or, in lieu of that, you will 60
down to 1860 under the influence OF SEN
timents and feelings very different from
that of 1858. A party in power in the
first year of an Administration is apt to
be bold and violent. A party going out
of power is generally timid and hesita
ting. You will search the SUBMITS in
New Hampshire, the plains in Mexico,
and the halls of ST. James in London, to
find Presidential candidate in 1860
who was against the Conference -Lecomp p
ton Kansas Bill in 1858, and then, if
these honorable gentlemen with whom
l have labored so pleasantly shall be
found yet remaining within your polit
ical communion, think | can promise
them that you will come to a much bet
ter understanding with them than you
have now

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN McNAIR
COUNTY, TENNESSEE.

The Purdy Banner, of the 29th ult.,
furnishes the following particulars of one
of the most horrible and atrocious as
sassinations that ever stained the an
nails of McNair county:
On Sunday night, the 22d inst, six
miles south of this place, negro man,
belonging to Mr.. John P Erwin, en-
tered the house of his master, at the hour
Of twelve o'clock, or thereabouts, and as
saulted Mr.. and Mrs Erwin, while they
were asleep in bed, and beat them over
the head with cudgel, in such manner
as to almost instantly kill Mrs. Erwin,
and but little hope is entertained of Mr.
Erwin's recovery There was intense
excitement manifested among those who
assembled at the house where the very
grievous affair occurred, and so over
whelming was the evidence against the
negro boy, whose name is Henry, that
the excited populace thought strongly
of dealing summarily with the criminal,
but the mobbish passion was allayed,
and under promise that he should not
be dealt with until examined by the au-
thorites, Henry confessed his guilt-said
it was his intention to kill his master,
John P. Erwin, but he had no thought
of injuring his mistress. Henry was
examined before committing court and
ordered to Jail, where he awaits his trial.
The negro boy gives no excuse for his
enormous cruelty and grievous crime
There was young lady sleeping in the
house at the time, in an adjoing room to
that occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Erwin.
She was aroused when the vile monster
commenced his hellish work of assassi-
nation, and heard Mrs Erwin a it was
Henry who was committing the dee' -
In addition to this the boy was searched
for and found in bed with his clothes II

Pathetic.
The Cincinnati Enquirer entreats Mr.
Buchanan to withdraw his opposition to
Douglas, and let him be nominated by
the Baltimore adjourned Convention
Hear its touching appeal:
1t seems to US that President Bu-
chanan, upon the old principle that zone
good turn deserves another owes it to
himself to withdraw the opposition to
Mr.. Douglas to the extent Of his power
now that the latter has obtained Il ma
jority of the Convention. Mr.. Douglas
is not his choice, but he ought not to
allow his unsuccessful competitor Of
1856 to outdo him in magnanimity, and
in respect for the wishes of majority OF
the party. By pursuing the course in
dicated, he would perform a grateful act,
that would inure to his credit upon the
page Of history.

The Tennessee Resolutions.

The following are the resolutions
presented in the Rump Convention by
delegate from Tennessee,) on the ba-
sis of which it is hoped by some very ac-
commodating Douglas men that they
can patch up truce with part or all OF
the Southern States, and get their fa-
vorite on the course:
Resozced, That all the citizens of the
United States have an eqaal right to set
tie aoith their property in the Territories
of the United States, and that under the
Supreme Court of the United States,
which we recognize as the correct e:rposi-
tion of the Constitution of the United
States, neither their rights of person or
property can be destroyed or impaired
by Congressional or Territorial legisla-
ton.
Rcsozved, That it shall require two
thirds of the entire electoral vote to
make a nomination.

Washington Correspondence of the n. Y. Tribune.
THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

There are leading Delegates to the
Chicago Convention here from nearly all
the States to be represented in that Con-
vention. Conferences are numerous
among them, but it is idle to speculate
much as to results. The friends of
Messrs. Bates, Chase, Seward and Came
ron, are all confident, each of these being
backed by his own State. In the event
of all these being set aside, PARTIES seem
nearly equally divided in their prefer
ences for Messrs. Mclean and Wade.
10 Mr.. Wade we hear Of no objection
as compromise candidate.
Col. Fremont is frequently named
with much of the old enthusiasm of 1856
His conduct since his defeat is not only
declared to have been unexceptionablc,
but most admirably discreet.
washington Correspondence of the N. Y. Times. /
Republicans are busily caucussing,
and the friends of the different aspirants
are actively engaged in arranging com
binations. Senator Wade and Mr.. Hick-
man will be presented as winning
ticket in case Mr.. Seward is over
slaughed.
Gov. Chase is here canvassing his
chances, and has many warm friends, but
indications are that he will stand no
chance at Chicago.
The Republican members of the
House will, for the most part, remain
away from Chicago during the Copven-
ton there. A delegate from Virginia
to Chicago says it is mistake that his
delegation will 60 for Seward. Wade
will be their preference.
