rIous promise may be about TO dawn upon
the Israelitish world. And, that the rumors
which come have an origin in the brain of
him who sways the sceptre of chivslrie
France, is not incredible. What more likely
event than that the faithful believer in des-
tiny should attempt to be an apparent in
strument, foretold by the prophets, in re-
storing an heir to the throne Of Solomon?
BRECKINRIDGE COUNTY CONFERENCE.-The
body met in the Court House on Saturday
last. The attendance was large, number
ing between ninety and hundred gentle
men, of intelligence aud substantial appear
ance. We saw but little difference between
the Convention and the ordinary ones of
the party in years past. There was about
the same crowd, the same faces, the same
enthusiasm. In the way of principles, the
Convention went to the point. The Breck-
inridgers leave no doubt as to their mean
ing. They raise direct, open and fair is
sue-one that everybody can readily under
stand. Their doctrine i. clearly defined
1t is in direct antagonism to the Republican
and Douglas creeds. There is no chance
for double dealing in theresolutions passed,
they are so explicit. We like this. a bold
and manly enemy is more to be admired
than a skulking foe. We SEQ in the princi-
pies of the Breckinridgers what are their
designs, and they take no sort of pains to
conceal them.
The ticket selected last Saturday is gen.
orally conceded to be a strong one-in truth
it may be doubted if the party could have
done better. In Phil Moore they found the
most successful electioneerer in the county.

The Convention took strong grounds
against the Bulkhead-a course which the
Douglas Convention failed to follow.
REPUBLICAN MEETIsG-TnoMAs FITcH-I
Thomas Fitch, "the eloquent Milvaukian,n
addressed large crowd last Saturday night
from the stand on Broad street. james
Churchman, Esq, presided. a lot Of Vice
Presidents were on the stand, but we did
not get near enough to distinguish their
faces.
Mr., Fitch is quite Al eloquent young man
speaking with great ease and fuency,
abounding in snecdote, and pleasing in his
manners. His speech was about two hours
in length and was listened to with marked
attention throughout. The cheers were
hearty but not often. The Republican party
has none of the hooraU element in it. Its
members are reading, thinking, staid and
sober men, not given to making much un-
necessary noise about the stump. In this
respect they are, perhaps, unfortunate, as a
Few clagusrs might have tendency to in
crease their vote.
At the conclusion of Mr Fitch's speech,
in obedience to the calls of the crowd, Jas.
Churchman came forward ard spoke st some
length, when the meeting adjourned. 1t
was the largest meeting of the campaign.
WINE TAsTER-We acknowledge the re-

Ter, Cor Sec. St. Agl Soc, wherein we are
informed Of our appsintment on commit

Wines on exhibition at the State Fair about
to assemble at Sacramento. To get snip
at all the various samples Of native wines
is a great iuducement for US to endure the
dust of seventy miles stage travel, and,
maybe, we'll be on hand. We are not, like
Gen. Allen, going to feign ignorance of the
reasons which induced our appointment rs

a constitutional dessication of the esopha-
gus, is well established at Sacramento:
A BREcKINRlDGE FLAG.-The Republican

was the hour, the Breckinridgers proceeded
to hoist a large and beautiful flag across
Pine street not far from the corner Of Broad.
Speeches were made on the occasion by r.
B. Moves. Jno. 7. Crenshw, Chrs. Catalan
and c. Wilson Hill. The boys, we are told,
were somewhat noisy when the star-span-
gled banner was displayed.
