The Beacon gives the following account oi
Breckinridge meeting held at Red Bluff last
Monday evening; or rather meeting called
| by Breckihridge men, and attended almost
wholly by those who will cast their votes ior
Douglas aud johnson:
Our readers observed in the advertising
columns of the Beacon, last week Breckln-
ridge call for the 9th inst, signed "mauy clti'

purpose of additional strength to their cause
and for the purpose of convincing the people
that they were of the genuine Democracy, IN

address the meeting. Mr.. Geiger hastened
from his mountain retreat, recognizing the
call to the performance of duty, and our ar
/ dent friend Mr. Rhodes Travelled from Oro-
vile, eager for the fray. Ats o'clock the
meeting was called to order by the election
ofJ a. Ruff as Chairman. Mr.. Geiger was
then introduced, and occupied the stand fol

hands with Black Republicanisn. MIR
Rhodes repudiated this proposition; desired
harmony, and was not willing to say that a
man who supported Mr.. Douglas was not a
good Democrat; wanted to know who in

vious to Mr.. Rhodes taking the stand, were
then made the subject of "A few remarks 10y
the Chairman, who invited all who were III
favor of the same to step forward and sign
them. One citizen complied with the re-
quest. Certain persons called for more signers.
AT this time three cheers were given with II
hearty will for Douglas. The Chairman de-
clared the meeting adjourned and left the
stand. Breckinrdge and Lane did not re-
ceive cheer during the entire evening, and
our readers will bear in mind that the meet

the boilers No disturbance was had at the
meeting; every person present listened Qu'et

Rhodes. After the Chairman declared the
meeting adjourned, the regular Democracy
called for Judge Harrison Cheer after cheer
was given for Douglas as the regular nomi-
nee.
Judge Harrison appeared upon the stand,
and for half an hour applied the whip to the
bolters with telling effect. Then the true
feelings of the Democracy of Tehama county
became manifest, and Douglas was triumph
antly sustained. One hundred and fifty per-
sons were present, and ouly ONE man signed
his name as a member of the Breckenridge
Club. Truly, the Breck. men are Il unit in
this county. We have witnessed many po
ltical meetings; but of all failures the Breck-
inridge meeting of last Monday evening was
the most miserable failure ever experienced
in this State. Tehama stands 10y the organi
cation, and will give her usual Democratic
vote for Douglas and Johnson
