THE San Andreas Independent saws ::

The Republicans throughout this entire
campaign have directed the brunt of their
battle against the Douglas party. They have
permitted not single opportunity 10 escape
when a shot might be effectively pitched INTO
the Douglas column. They have treated the
breckenridge forces with comparative civili-
ty and moderation. The closer we draw to
ward the election the clearer does their no.
tion for this sort of tactics become apparent
they regard the Douglas as the stronger and
more formidable wing of the Democracy in
this State If California is saved to the De-
mocracy, it will surely be by the Douglas
wing-between whom and the Republicans,
the latter have shown us in all their writings
and in all their speeches, there is great

OLD LINE DEMOCRATS, READ Tms.-Wt
are assured that some of the Breckenridge
men are willing to bet that the Republican
nominee for Senator in this county will be
elected but We do not hear that any Of them
offer TO bet on the election of p L. Edwards
the Breckenridge nominee for the same posi-
ton. The boilers of the Breckenridge bolt
ing faction seem to have concluded that Ed
wards will be defeated as a matter of course
Indeed, they may as well come to like
conclusion as to all their ticket, though it is
reported they will make desperate effort to
elect one of their Assemblymen. This it is
understood, is to be accomplished by judi
cious system of swapping votes ON the day
of election.-Sdc. Union.
The "swap" appears to be, that the boilers
shall vote for Heacock, a Black Republican,
for Senator, and that the Blacks shall vote
for one of the Breckinridge nominees for the
Assembly. Is anything further needed to
open the eyes of Old Line Democrats who
have followed false leaders out of the Demo-
cratic party? Now is the time for them to
return to the ranks. Vote for DoUGLAs on

CONFIDENCE IN BRECKINRIDGE PUT TO THE
TEsT.-The West Tennessee Wing, in giving
an account of the discussion in jackson, be.
tween Messrs. Peyton, Polk and Haynes, re-
lates the following episode, which at once
puts to flight all the fancied prospects of the
Yaucey- Breckenridge ticket, as far as its
election is concerned. Maj. Polk, Douglas
Elector, was speaking, and the Wing says
"He exposed, in a mastery manner, the
hypocrisy and dupcity of the Breckenridge
men, who persist in running a man who has
"no chance" on earth for election; and as an
evidence that he did not believe that Breck-
inridge could be elected, he proposed, and
repeated the proposition, that if Col Haynes,
as an honorable man, would come upon the
stand, and tell the people that he believed
that Breckiuridge stood any chance to be
elected, either by the people or the House
of Representatives, that he. Col. Polk, would
surrender the canvass and go home When
this proposition was made, Col. Haynes was
standing in the crowd with distinguished
Democrat of this county, who urged him to
accept the proposition; but Haynes dared
not do it. He does not believe that Breck-
inridge has any possible chance, and as an
honorable man he would not say So"

A correspondent of the Georgia Chronicle

Breckenridge would be the President. But
when the challenge was accepted the propo-
sition made to ''anti," we are told by the
Editor. that he only did it "out of devilment
for fun" What glorious funl No doubt you
will see this challenge going the rounds, pa
raded through the whole country as bona
hde. You can state, that the Editor was
called upon on the morning after the chal-
lenge appeared and requested to put up his

The VoTE OF NEVADA CoUNTY.-A gentle
man who has travelled considerably over this
county within the past two m onths, and who
is, perhaps, as competent to Judge of the SEN
timents of the people as any in the county.
has furnished us the following estimate of
the vote at the Presidential election.
In the township of Eureka, Bloomfield
and Bridgeport, known as "the Ridge" the
vote will be about even between Douglas
and Breckenridge, while Douglas will have
100 more than Lincoln. In Washington
township, Douglas will beat Lincoln 200 and
Breckenridge 100. In Nevada, Douglas will
lead Breckinridge 500 votes and Lincoln 400.
In Little York, Lincoln will receive 100 more
votes than Douglas, and Douglas so more
than Breckinride. In Grass Valley, the vote
will be about even between Lincoln and
Breckinridge, and Douglas will lead them
800. In Rough and Ready Breckenridge
will probably be so votes ahead of Douglas.
and Douglas 100 ahead of Lincoln.
This estimate would give Douglas 900 more
votes in the county than Breckenridge, and
] 900 more than Lincoln. The majority for
Douglas is somewhat less than we have here
tofore estimated but our informant is well
posted, and his figures may prove to be nearer
correct than our own. 1t Is now conceded
by all parties that Douglas will have a ma
Jority in the county the only question is, as
to how large that majority will be?-Neyada
