Democratic Inconsistencv.

1t was declared in the Cincinnati platform. and
in the Kansas bill, and reafirmed in Buchanan
letter Of acceptance, that the people ola Territory
like those of State, shall decide whether or not
they win have slavery. The same party also de-
cared that Congress has no right to intervene for
the settlement fthis question. These were the
issues upon which the party succeeded in 1885, but
how is it now7 One faction declares that the people
of a Territory have no such right as was conceded
to them in "56," and that Congress not only has
the right to intervene for the protection of slavery
but that it is its duty to do it. The other faction
sticks to the original programme and hence the
split at Charleston. But the best part Of the joke
is, that the boilers knew, just as well in Sc as
they do now the freeso character of the doctrines
they then advocated and surrendered the rights of
the South for party success, Now they want to
retFieyewhat their political villainy then lost them
and 10 up their dishonesty by show of virtu-
GUS indignation against their northern partners in
rascality

ES7y" The remark applied by some wag to the
Governor of some State, that he came in with much
opposition but will go out without any, is strictly
applicable to Buchanan He has done nothing to
increase the prosperity, or enhance the dignity of
the Republic, but much to debauch public morals
and bring reproach upon our free institutions The
Covode Committee has developed villainy enough
to make him odious to all honest men, and enough
to have consigned him to the penitentiary had it
been perpetraed in the private walks of life and he
is, now, countenanced and sustained by such men
as Slidell and Benjamin, whose Houmas claims ere
ate a sympathy with him, and by such men as hold
Office at his will, and profit pccunarly by the ex-
ample he has set them.

sensible men discovered too late, Il at they had

prophet to the serious detriment of their pecuniary
interest. Let him croak away, It's his nature-but

Rrcu QUARTZ IN DEL NoRrE CoUYrY.-The
Crescent City Herald Of August 25th has the
following:
A correspondent whom we know to be re
liable writes us from Althouse, under date OF
Monday last, as follows:
Tremendous excitement Discovery of
quartz leads Messrs Evans & McDougal
have diseoyered a quartz lead on "Republi-
can Hill" which bids fUir to rival the cele-
brated lsh lead at Jacksonville. The Doug
Jas vein, just below, owned by Ebert d Co.,
so far as prospected, gives evidence of sur
passing richness. These are the only two
claims which have as yet been prospected,
but about one mile of country has been
claimed, and the owners of the respective
claims will go to work on them this week.
The average Of quartz SO far taken out
will pay, with'only our present rude way OF
working it, eight hundred dollars per ton.
Republican Hill is situated at the head OF
gulch putting into Althouse Creek, and Is
distant from Browntown about two miles.
The miners on the creek are still avcraS-
ing good wages, say Sc per day, while some
claims are payiag extraordinarily rich.-
John Bins & Co. have taken out in the last
four weeks IS 800.
