Douglas and johnson Rattle alton Meet
Ing.

On Saturday evening last the Democrats Of
this place held quite an enthusiastic meeting in
front of the Empire Hotel, for the purpose of
ratifying the nominations the regular National
Democratic Convention Stephen A. Douglas
and H.rschcl v Johnson.
Judge Joel I. Landrum was called to the
chair, and Geo. Forbes chosen secretary
The meeting was then addressed by Hon. E.
Garter, Judge Pitzer, and the editor of this pa
per. The efforts of the speakers were received
with a spirit that indicated great enthusiasm for
the regular nominees. The speeches of Messrs.
Garter and Pitzer gave great satisfaction to the
crowd, as was evidenced BY the repeated long
and loud cheers which rent the air.
At the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Dosh
offered the following resolution, which was
adopted with the utmost unanimity and heart
mess:
Resolred, That we, portion of the Democracy
of the town and county of Shasta, hereby en-
dorse the action of the regular Democratic Ma
tional Convention which recently concluded its
labors at Baltimore and pledge its nominees
Stephen A. Douglas and Herschel V. johnson
"a hearty and enthusiastic support
The prospects of the regular nominees in this
county are most flattering. From every quar-
ter-French Gulch, Horsetown, the Cottonwood
country, and the east side of the river-come
the most encouraging reports. The masses oi
the Democracy refuse to leave the good old
| Democratic organization, and follow the lead OF
Yancey and other men of his stripe, who have
for years publicly proclaimed their intention OF
] first destroying the Democratic party and then
the Union, for the purpose of building up q
/ Southern republic.

WILL BREcKENRIDGE CARRY VIRGINIA THE
friends of Breckenridge talk confidently of his
carrying every Southern State. If the statement
be true, however, that, in Virginia, the Douglas
strength already developed is equal to 10000
votes, they are building a castle upon founda-
tion of sand. And if two Democratic electoral
tickets will throw that State out of the hands of
the Democracy, why may not Bell and Everett
with good reason hope to carry two-thirds of
the Southern States?
The Shasta courier., 1860-08-04

Esg Its poor argument that will not worl:
both ways says the old saw The Brecken-
ridge-Joe Lanegers complain of unfairness be-
cause the delegations of Minnesota, Indiana
and New. York were respectively compelled to
vote as unit, thus closing the mouths of a
small minority from each Of those States op-
posed TO Douglas and the platform adopted
They neglect TO state, however, that the delega-
tions mentioned were each instructed by the
Conventions which elected them to vote as a
unit! We presume the Breckenridgers will not
dispute the right of conventions to instruct
their delegates. But even if the unit voting of
the delegations named were wrong, the Breck-
enrdgers have no right to complain. Cushing,
who bolted the regular Convention and pre-
sided over the secedcr's meeting, while Presi-
dent Of the Convention at Charleston decided
that the Georgia delegation were required to
vote as 4 unit. Now the minority of the Georgia
delegation were for Douglas If the rule when
applied against him was right, ii was right when
1t worked in his favor. OF course the Brecken-
ridgers will take Cushings ruling as authority
The Shasta courier., 1860-08-04
Action of the state Central Committee

The State Central Committee met at San
split wide open. The Breckenridgers, being in
the majority, refused to compromise upon he
following basis, viz:
That the State Convention shall nominate
four candidates for electors, two to be chosen
from the friends of Breckenridge and two from
the friends of Douglas, said candidates to be
supported by the Democracy of the State, each
individual voter heading his ticket with the
name of Breckenridge or Douglas, as he may
prefer and that said candidates for electors
shall be pledged 10 cast the electoral vote of the
State for either Breckenridge or Douglas, as a
majority Of the Democratic voters of the State
shall have been found to have expressed their
preference.
On the contrary, they endorsed the platform
State Convention to assemble on the llth of
September.
The members of the Committee who were in
favor Of supporting the regular nominees, refus-
ing longer to recognize the seceders as being
inside of the regular organization, then proceed
ed legally to the performance of the work for
which they were called together. Their pro-
ceedings are IS follows:
Resolped, That we recognize ard sustain the
regular candidates of the National Democratic
Convention, Stephen A. Douglas for President,
and Herschel V johnson for Vice President
and approve the platform of principles there
adopted
Resotred, That Democratic State Convention
be held at the city of Sacramento, Wednes-
day, the 5th day of September, 1860, at 2 o.
clock, M, for the purpose of nominating four
electors of President and Vice President, to cast
the vote of the State of California for the regu-
farly nominated candidates of the National DEM
ecratic party
Resolredi That it is recommended to the
eral Democratic County Committees to adopt
for the primary elections in their respective
counties, a test which shall admit all National
and Union loving who will support the
regular Democratic nominations for President
and Vice President.
Resolved, That we adopt the ratio of repre-
sentation ofthe last State Convention.
The Committee adjourned till August lst, at
10 o'clock, A. NJ.
J. P. HoGE, Chairman.
B. N. HENRY, Corresponding Sec'y.
GEO. F. PRICE, Recording Secy.
Under the rule adopted the Convention will
be composed of $50 votes, and the counties
named below will be entitled to a number of
delegates as follows:

OFFICE HOLDERS Sixty five
gentlemen of San Francisco have issued an
" address to the National Democracy" They
take the ground that Douglas was not regularly
nominated by the National Democratic .Conyen-
ton that therefore Democrats can vote as they
please at this time, without having their party
fealty called in question and therefore ask the
Democracy to go with them in the support Of
Breckenridge and Lane. OF the sixty names
attached to this document, t10enty-nine are those
of Federal office-holders, and the balance, OF
their relations or dependents. The poor devils
were compelled to sign the document \ re-
fusal to do so would have caused the blood to

Nss- Gen. Shields formerly U. s. Senator
from the States of Illinois and Minnesota, ar
rived at Los Angeles, few days ago, by the
overland stage. He is an ardent supporter of
Douglas and johnson. We expect shortly to
hear him denounced BY the seceders for being
"a id foreigner" he having been born in Ire
land. We presume the Standard will refuse to
give him the title Of General, and will announce
him as Mr.. James Shields, as that would be as
sarcastic as to say Mr.. J. G. Downey.

HoLD-ovER AND Ex- LEGISLATORS Union
states that Senators Ryan, Logan, Chase, Leet
and Edgerton are for Douglas and johnson, nd

Lane. 1t is also reported that ex-Speaker
Moore and ex-Speaker pro TEN. Stevenson, are
for Douglas Ex-senator, Denver, of Ell Dora
do, is likewise supporter of the regular nomi-
nees And Judge Burke, of Mariposa, expresses
the opinion that that county will 60 for the
regular ticket notwithstanding Sam. Merritt has
declared for the seceders

TRINITY CouNTY.-The Democracy of Trinity
are pretty much all one way of thinking-that
is, that Douglas and johnson were regularly and
fairly nominated, and that all friends of the
good old Democratic organization are therefore
in honor bound to support them Trinity will
give the regular ticket very large majority
but little less than will old Shasta. Mark the
prediction

LITTLE Too FAsT.-The Breckenridge-J Joe
Lanegers, in appointing their committee few
nights since, were endeavoring to ''play it very
ane," when they placed thereon the name of
Pat. Desmond. 1t so chances that this gentle
men is hearty supporter of the regular nomi-
nees-Douglas and Johnson-and too sturdy a
Democrat to be caught by this little delicate
piece of 1attery. We would advise the Breck-
snridgers to be more careful hereafter This
plan of swelling their numbers by including
boys without votes, and sterling supporters of
Douglas and johnson, doesn't look well 1t

WHAT THE n. Y. HERALD THINKs.-The New
York Herald has been a recognized organ of
President Buchanan for several years. Bennett
and. Buchanan are great friends and mutual
admirers, so much so that Ewhen his, Benefits,
family visited Washington, they, at one time at
least, did SO as the guests of the President
Hence the Herald ought to be authority with the
seceders, seeing that old Buck is himself an
ardent seceder. Well, what does Bennett, who
is doubtless aware of the Presidents opinions
on the same point, think of Breckenridge's
chances of election? Does he think he stands
the ghost of show? By no means. On the
contrary, he, through the Herald-a Buchanan
organ, mind you-expresses the belief that Bell
will beat him in ten or twelve of the Southern
States, and that he will not get a single electo-
raj vote north of Mason and Dixon's line
There's comfort for you Breckenridgers and Joe
Lanegers.

tiles.

The Red Bluff Beacon of this week refers to a
class of politicians who may be found in every
community in California They seem to think
that the mere locality of their birth -place-be-
ing north of Mason and Dixon's ine-is prima
tdeaa evidence of their unsoundness on. the negro
question, and hence abuse their native hills, and
denounce the people among whom they were
born, in manner that cannot but excite in the
breast of any Southern gentleman feeling of
contempt Even Yancey, being proud, State
loving, high-toned and chvalrous gentleman
while he would gladly accept their aid in ac-
complishing the dream of his life the estab-
lishment of a southern republic-would loath
them in his heart. British gentlemen, in the
days of the Revolution, loved Arnolds treason,
but they despised the traitor.
No doubt many thousands of Northern Demo-
Gratis honestly support the Breckenridge ticket.
Being honorable men, however, you never hear
them denounce their native States, nor the peo-
pie thereof. 1t is only those unprincipled fellows
who do this, and who denounce as " a id Alb
olitionist" every man who does not think as they
born and raised in slave State, where all his
| relations still reside Hence his denuncation
is the more withering:
If there is any set of politicians we are down
on, it is those who have been born and raised in
the North, and educated where Abolitionism
stalks abroad the land, and then move South
or to California, and become even more intense
| ly Southern than if they had been rocked in a
cradle by little negroes which they knew they
would fall heir to, educated in college
among the hotspurs of South Carolina Mis-
sissippi. Who is there that cannot point out
numbers of these men2 They so much fear that
the idea may get abroad that they are Repub-
licans, that they go around and abuse every
thing Northern, and call man an Abolitionist
if be does not go as strong on the pro-slayery
question as themselves. Now we have always
thought that if three-fourths of these Northern
men with intensely Southern principles were
living in Ohio they would be acting with the
Republican party.

Rail Road VS.. Niggers.

Why shall our people permit themselves to be
absorbed in the contemplation and discussion
of the everlasting negro question, when mat
ter of SO much greater importance to US as Call
ifornians is now staring US in the face and de-
manding our attention? A Pacific Railroad is
or ought to be our " nigger,' and in canvassing
the claims Of parties and candidates TO our sup
port, we ought to look at their records and po-
sitions on this question, rather than on the
everlasting and disgusting niger question.
1t is undoubtedly true that, while almost
every delegate of the convention that nominated
! Douglas was in favor of Pacific Railroad the
larger portion of those composing the meeting
which nominated Breckenridge are and always
have been opposed on principle to the Govern
ment aiding in the building of this great work
And as to the records of the two candidates
let facts speak. We quote from the Sonora
Democratic Age:
During the second session Of the SD Con-
gress, in the year 1855 the Pacific Railroad
Bill was introduced in both branches Douglas
was in the upper-Breckenridge in the lower
House. From the first introduction of the bill
in the House of Representatives, January %,
1855, the vote of John c. Breckenridge is found
recorded against it, When brought to a final
passage, he voted no; but the bill passed. The
vote upon its passage, however, was afterwards
reconsdered the bill was recommitted to the
Committee of thirteen; and while motion was
pending to reconsider this vote, another motion
was made to lay il on the table, and carried
The effect Of this was to kill the Railroad Bill
in the House. The vote stood, yeas, % nays,
94-Breckenridge voting in the Affirmative
This January %, 1855.
On the 9TH of February-same year-the
Pacific Railroad Bill was introduced into the
Senate; but the motion to take it up was lost
BY vote of yeas, II nays, 30-Dougas voting
in the affirmative. The bill was afterwards
taken up, and during the deliberations of the
Senate the vote of Stephen A. Douglas is found
IN every instance recorded in its support, as that
of Breckenridge, in the lower branch, was re-
corded in opposition. The bill passed the Sem
ate February 10, 1885, Douglas voting in favor
of its passage

A Man OF Principle.

Gov. Weller, in his speech at TIE San Fran
cisco Breckenridge ratification meeting, declared
that one of the chief drawbacks to his going for
Douglas was, that q his cause had fallen into
the hands of some men in this town 1San Fran
ciscol for whom never was so fortunate as to
have any respect" That is, one great reason
why he goes against Douglas is, that men for
whom he had no respect are supporting him.
And yet he has the effrontery to call himself a
personal friend" of Douglas and to claim, in
another portion of his speech, that be is influ-
enced by love Of principle alone! Pohl Rare
friendship is that which permits a man to aban-
don friend because some obnoxious persons
may see fit to befriend him Rare democracy
is tnat which will induce man to go against
friend, because disrespectable people go for
him And rare old-style Democrat is that
man who, like Gov. Weller, has the efrontery,
while alleging such reasons for going against
Douglas, to claim to be actuated by love of good
old Democratic principles alone Oh, yes, a
rare old Democrat is Gov. Weller, and IL still
rarer old demagogue.
Would any body believe that man who would
announce as reason for his going against one
toward whom he claimed TO stand in the rela-
tionshp Of personal friend" that disreputable
men were befriending him-we repeat, would
anybody believe that man of such exceedingly
exalted political morality would in the same
speech confess that he had once voted for a
gambler of thirty years standing, for Sheriff of
San Francisco, against Jack Hays, for the sim
pie reason that the thirty years standing gam
bier had been regularly nominated ? Well, Coy.
Weller is so reported, and no doubt truthfully
