Bzy- We should like to hear from some Of our
old wing friends, who deserted their coors to sup
port Mr.. Buchanan aud democracy, on account OF
their intense desire to belong to Party what they
are going to do now Where is their democratic
party? Are they going with the Douglas fragment
or the anti Douglas? With Andy johnson and the
Homestead BILL or Green, who says it is an infam-
GUS measure to sustain lazy scoundrels, and get
votes With Congressional protection or against
II? With Baltimore or Richmond? In a word,
where now will the poor disconsolate old Wigs
go? win they still hopoIessly seek amid the frag-
mcnts and splnters Of democracy for party, or
come back lartrioucay to their first love, and
battle with us for the Union and the Constitution?

SINGULAR SUIcIDE.-A Chinaman who had
been for some time employed about the resi-
dence of DR.. J. W. Winter, on street, very
mysteriOusly disappeared on Monday last.
Diligent inquiry was made for him. in every
place, but no trace of him disco vered till
Wednesday, when he was seen at the bottom
OF the privy, connected with the house, one
of bis legs sticking up while his head was
downward The privy is a deep one, the
top being on the upper floor Of the bui ding.
The Chnaman evidently put his head through
the hole and deliberately plunged downward
Such mode Of committing suicide would
probably never be thought of, much less
executed, by any body in the world but a
Chinnman Mr. Hamilton went to work,
yesterday, and with considerable difficulty
iished out the dead body
The Chinaman had some peeuiarities about
him, vixen living, which indicated an un.
sound mind. lie would for several days at
n time be moody and retiring, and averse to
speaking to any one. He would afterwards
be quite lively again. He had a seeming
mortal aversion to his countrymen, driving
them away from him. wheH they approached
him, with bitter invectives He was a queer
genius, and what secret misery preyed upon
poor Sing Poo's mind no one knows.

SeuAw FIeHr.--A snug little fight took
place. yesterday, on Virgin Alley, in the rear
of Bockius' stable, between two Diggers of
the female persuasion. 1t was witnessed by
a large crowd of buck Diggers who seemed
to enjoy the sport and applauded loudly
The champions came to the scratch in beauti-
tul style and struck out simultaneously from
the shoulder but aiming too high, each caught
the others blow in her top knot, and there
they stuck. Vigorously did they exert them
selves TO extEcate their delicate fingers from
their entanglement, and many glossy ringlets
were loosened in the attempt, but all to no
purpose. At length the taller of the two
becoming impatient, reached over and helped
herself to moutkful of her adyersary's cheek.
A white spectator, sympathizing with the
weaker party, at this juncture ordered the
male Diggers to separate the combatants and
declared the battle drawn Ga la Heenan and
SayersG Jealousy is said to have been the
cause of the difficulty.

first number of this new Democratic paper
published every morning in San Francisco
Sunday excepted by Urmy & Barcklay The

writer. and well posted both in politics and
literature. The Nation carries at its mast
head, the names of the Democratic nominees
-Douglas and johnson. From its editorial
columns we clip the following:
With full confidence that the Democracy
of San Francisco and of the State, will sus-
tain daily newspaper in this city, in which
they can find the unchanged creed Of the

ing the first number of the Nation We do
not enter the newspaper field for the cam
pain merely, but our new experiment is on a
basis which will insure permanency if it sue
ceeds in deserving support. We hope to be
OF some service in the great battle now being
fought between the National Democracy on
the one SIDE, and the Northern and Southern
Federalits on the other. Non-intervention
is Democracy; Intervention is Federalism -
The rights of the people are the rights of the
States. Under Democratic rule, these rights
will be saeredly guarded, and the Federal
Government will never attempt to tyranize
over an organized community of American
citizens, by forcing upon them either Will
mot Provso or a Slave Code. We send out
a large edition of the first number of the Ma
ton, and rely upon such assistance from our
f-iends in the various localities throughout
the State, as will prevent any necessity for
reducing the number to be issued hereafter.

IHE CALIFORNIA Seeding DELEGATES -
The San Francisco Nation says The sub
joined note from Hon. B. M Henry sufficient
ly explains itself In addition to the plain
language of the resolution quoted by Mr..
Henry, some remarks were made in the State
Convention by VIM. S. Long, of Sacramento,
who offered it, which were highly approved
at the time, and were to the effect, that too
often, after delegates were elected to the
National Convention, they passed their au-
thority over to members of Congress. The
object of the resolution was stated to be to
prevent delegates from giving proxies. Not
withstanding this precaution, however, we
read that Hon. C. L. Scott sat in the Seces-
sion Convention in the capacity of delegate
from California. by virture of proxy OBJ
tanned from National delegate.

Calhoun Benham, and probably Others. held
and used proxies" in the National Demo-
cratic Conventions at Charleston and Balti
the State of California.
As Secretary of the late Democratic State
Convention, deem it my duty to say, that |
wrote the credentials of the delegates to the
National Convention, and in each credential
| embodied the following resolution, adopted
by the Democratic Convention, to wit:
"ResolUed That in case of the absence of
either of the delegates from this State, the
majority of the delegates present shall cast
the vote of said absentee"
| am at loss to know how any member Of
said delegation could transfer his proxy to
another party under the above resolution.
b. M. HENRY

Those men who cast the votes for the ab-
sent California delegates had about as much
business there as they would have at Chicago.
They were there in direct violation of in
structions from the State Convention.

Douglas and Lecomplon Again
Another Version.

The Washington Constitution
publishes letters from various
members of the Lecompton Con-
yention, in which it is alleged that
Mr.. Douglas gave Mr.. Calhoun,
and others in Kansas, assurances
that he would do his best to put
the Lecompton swindle through
the Senate. Republican paper.
Well, end we rather reckon he
did put it Throughput it through
in such way as to prevent any
more swindles of the same sort
showing their ugly proportions in
the Senate agar, while he is pres
ent there Tor, better still, in the
White House, always ready to
put them through whenever they
appear.
