ORovLLE, July 3Oth.
EDITOR DEMoCDAT After the regular De-
mocracy of Oroyille had held their ratifca-
ton meeting on Saturday, the 2lst inst, the
secession, disunon faction resolved to do
something handsome and throw everything
in the shade, and get the good peonle of
Butte county to commit themselves in favor
of their reasonable, disunion party. Accor7
dingly, dark.lantern meeting was held at
the Sheriffs Office and large sum of money
raised for the purpose Of getting up a grand
affair worthy of the occasion. Flaming
handbills were stuck up on every tree and
public house in the county, private letters
were sent to all parts of the county, notice
was given that the great C) Breckenridge
guns, Zach Montgomery and Kirkpatrick
would appear to enlighten the political hea
thens of Oroville Behold, Saturday came
and with it the Hon. Zach, accompanied by
the editor of the Marysville Express and one
of the proprietors. But oh, my eountrymen,
what fall was there! and partly in the
language of Julius Cesar, "they came, they
saw" and they fszled Evening came, and
with it the g-r-e.a torch light procession,
so much heralded about. And the affair
commenced by thirty nine men ana boys Il
speak from actual count leaving the plaza
and marching through some OF our principal
streets, and, on their return, they had dwin-
died down to nineteen. Finally the meeting
organized by calling j. W. Bufrum to the
Chair aud electing half the assemJlage Vice
Presidents.
The Hon. Zach spoke for about an hour to
about $50 men, about one third Of whom, TO
judge from their expressions, belonged to
the Seeding party 1t is useless to say any,
thing about his harangue. l suppose you
have heard this eloquent gentleman before.

Douglas, which were heartily responded to-

litical weathercock, was called for | only
have to say that this gentleman was editor
of the True Californian, in '56, and every
one can judge of his love of the institutions
OF his country. 1t is really ridiculous to
hear this leading K. N. express his great love
for the dear foreigners, when he knows that
the majority of his hearers are of Celtic
origin. After haranguing his audience for
about half an hour, he wound up by calling
for three groans for the U3,jon (They say
he meant the Sacramento Union, but that is
doubtful) After which some one called for
three cheers for the Union which were Civ
en- with good will by three quarters of the |
assembly When this patriotic gentleman of

persons present, not more than one third of
whom were Breckenridge. Thus ended the |
grand Boiling izzle at Oroyille.
Put Butte county down for Douglas, the
regular Democratic nominee.

OUrRAGE.-We are informed by gentle
man who came over the Hehness Pass route
a few days since that the day before he
passed 0 Neills Crossing of the Truclsee, some
white villains had stolen several Indian
picaninies from party Of "Washoes" en-
camped near that place. The kidnappers, it
was thought, took the Dowuievile trail The
Washoes have ever been friendly to the
whites and are in no wise implicated in the
recent Indian hostilties; but such outrages
as the above are well calculated to induce
them to seek revenge even upon innocent
parties. # is to be hoped that the miscreants
will be discovered, and visited with the Sc

BREcKINRGDGE AND POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
Here is something from st. Louis parer: It
is said that there are a number of southern
Rights Democrats who have declared that
| they will bolt the Breckenridge and Lane
ticket if Mr.. Breckenridge, in his Tippeeanoe
speech, uttered the following language:
Il am connected with no party that has
Tor It's object the extension of slavery nor
with any to prevent the people Of a State or
Territory from deciding the question of its
existence with them for themselves I"
The speaker continued
Il happened to be in Congress when the
Nebraska bill passed, and gave it my voice
and vote, and because it did what it did, viz:
1t acknowledged the right of the people of
the Territory to settle the question for them
selves and not because | supposed, what |
DO not now believe, that it legisated slavery
into The Territory The Democratic party is
not pro slavery party"
Here is something from a speech delivered
by Mr.. Breckinridge in Lexington, KY, after
lis election as Vice Presidents
Upon the distracting question of domestic
slavery their (the Democratic party's) posi-
uon Is clear The whole power of the Dem
ocratic organization is pledged to the follow
ing propositions: That Congress shall not
intervene upon that subject in the States, in
the Territories, or in the District of Columbia
that the people of each Territory shall de.
termine the question for themselves. without
discrimination on account Of the allowance
or prohibition of slavery"
The Richmond Va.) Wig quotes the
above paragraph, and says:
1t will lthus be seen that Breckiiridge takes
the Douglas ground, that "the people of each
Territory" in their Territorial capacity. shall
admit or exclude slavery at their discretion
which is nothing but Squatter Sovereignty,
pure and unadulterated lie goes further.
and aftirms that Congress shall not inter, enc
tor the protection Of slavery in the TerIito-
ries, while the seceders maintain that it is
the solemn duty Of Congress to intervene"
invariably Tor the protection Of slavery in
the Territories, whenever such protection
may be necessary. 1t was the denial and
reputation Of this doctrine of protection &"
by the Douglas men at Charleston which
caused the Gulf States Democrats to secede.
And now these seceGers have nominated
Breckinridge, who occupies the position of
Douglas on this protection doctrine"
The following are two paragraphs from
late eastern papers:
All accounts from Washington seem to
agree in stating that Senator Brown, of Mis-
sissippi, having read Breckinridge's letter of
acceptance, has determined to take no part
in the fight, as his position does not materi-
ally differ from that of Douglas and neither
declares himself in favor of Congressional
protection of slavery in the Territories.
Among the political squibs now exploding
is one that Breckenridge, in his letter of ac-
ceptance, has stolen Douglas Popular Sow
ereignty thunder. Practically, they stand
upon the same platform.

A DEMocRAT
Placer County Correspondence.

PINE GROVE, Placer Co., July %.
EDIroE DEMoopAr:-One of the largest
and most enthusiastic meetings of the Democ-
racy ever held in this section Of the noun
tGins, was convened here last evening The
meeting was called to order at an early hour.
Resolutions endorsing Douglas and johnson,
the regular nominees of the National Democ-
racy, were received with immense cheering
and the firing of anvils. The meeting was
addressed by Judge Rowle, Schoble and
others, after which a Club was formed to
carry on the campaign. Clubs have also
been formed at Stewards Flat, Rushville,
Doton's Bar, Horseshoe, and at twenty-four
other precincts, numbering from 80 to $50
members to each Club. Set Placer down for
tLeregular nominees, sure.
This state of affairs sorely troubles Wal
kup, who is intent on giving the vote of the
county to the old Lime Pointer; besides
many of his disunion brethren are making
strong efforts to nominate an Assembly ticket
who will pledge themselves to support the
Hon. David S. Terry for the U. S Senate, he
being more reliable in case of immergency
than DR.. Gwin. The understanding in this
county is, that any one who votes for the
disunion ticket votes for either Terry or win

DID THEY QUARREL.-It seems hat the re
port that the President and Senator Gwin
had quarrelled, is officially contradicted. The
New York Tribune's Washington correspond.
ent says upon the subject;
All the attempted explanations of the
scene between Buchanan and Gwin are false
and fabricated They have come together, it is
true, but under circumstances which reflect
dscredit upon both. No President who re
spected himself would consent to be recon-
ciled after the insulting language Which was
applied to him, and no : enator who valued
his position could submit to the humiliation
recanting without a surrender of personal
dignity. In either case, the parties are not
benefited by the contemplate explanation
which has been put before the public.
