ADJOURNMENT OF CoNGREss.-Th first
session of the thirty sixth Congress expired
at 12 o'clock, on the oath ult In the
House considerable excitement prevailed.
Some shouted aloud, some called for order.
and some called on the Speaker to "read the
riot act" The Speaker himself entered as
heartily into the row as the most thoughtIess
OF the members, and when some one ser.
ously dcmande1 that members should be re-
4ured to take their seats, the Speaker, sha-
king his sides with laughter, cried out:
TOO late; too late!" And pointed at the
same time with his gavi to the large clock,
whose hands indicated the hour of twelve
Then, rarping three times, he said: "The
hour has arrived at which, according to the
resolution of the two Hou.es, am required
to adjourn this House. 1t will therefore
stand adjourned accordngly-and | bid you
all an affectionate farewell" The Stampede
that followed resembled somewhat the scat.
terlng of herd of wild mustangs, after hav
ing them once entrapped in pound. If
friends spoke, it was rs they rushed past
each other, with a nod Of the head and
hurried goodbye" The Senate remained
10 session for the purpose Of arranging exc
cutive business. ~

tional Democracy go into the great con
test Of 1860, to do battle for the gallant
leaders, who stand by the constitutional
rights of all sections Of the Union, upon
just and equal terms.
1t is not a question with us, whether they
will be elected or defeated, we conceive it
to be our duty to advocate that which is
Just between citizen and citizen, State and
State. The nterminable "nigger question:"
and the over heated ambition of one man,
has divided the Democratic party, and it
behooves every National Democrat to come
up to the work with undaunted faith
and undiminished zeal 1t is not necessary to
fight about mere distractions, but upon the
matter of great and essential principle,
every Democrat must prepare himself to
act. He must be found battling for the
right. Equal rights to every State in the
Union must be recognized - that all citizens
OF the union have a right to settle in the
Territories with their property, no matter
Of what description, and that neither Con
gress nor Territorial Legislature can i'm
pair or destroy that right. And further,
that it is the duty Of Government to pro
tect the rights of property in the Territories
and il necessary, TO the full extent Of its
Constitutional power.
We say all this must be recognized, and
he who rafuses to support these equitable
principles we hold is not sound in his pro
fesso,.s Of Democracy, and is not worthy
the support Of National men. For they are
part of the creed of the Democratic faith
they are established principles that neve,
can be yielded, and which will he defended
for all time to come.
California will prove true to the trust re
posed in her. She will support Na!iona
men and sustain national principles. There
is no other course for her to pursue. Made
up as she is, almost entirely of citizens
from every State in the Union, she mus
extend, by her political decision, equa! ant
exact justice to all. This is now the grea
duty incumbent upon her. Then fellow
Democrats to the work, and let us perform
it with wiil--showing our good faith il
the task that is to lie performed. "Onwart

Voting Ones Sentiments.
Far Judge Douglas.
Sfenhon A Do,,oIag

The disruption Of the Baltimore Convention
and its consequent failure to place before the
country regularly nominated candidate for the
Presidency, gives every Democrat an un-
trammeled opportunity to Vote His Sentiments
Hence no man who believes that the South
has rights in the Territories which should be
respected, ought to fail to vote in accordance
with that belief when casting his ballot for
President. Judge Douglas admits that the
Territories are the common property ofsll the
States, but he claims that the citizens of one
half of the States may be robbed by vote of the
Squatters, of the share which they ought to
have in their settlement. This he says can be
done "legally." All who think so should vote fol
him. All who think that every constitutional
right which man possesses, is entitled To such
protection as will enable him to enjoy that right,
should vote for Mr.. Breckenridge - Meoark

The Fusion i'm Kentucky.

We have published the owledgement ol
the Douglas Kentucky organ that the friends
the squatter chief in that State voted directly
TOR the know-nothing candidate in the last elec-
ton; but in some cases courts will not convict
a criminal even on his own con fession, without
corroborating circumstances. Let this rule be
applied for the benefit of the Kentucky Doug
lasites, who, we are sure, must be very anx-
ious to avoid the charge of refusing to support
regular nominees -and nevertheless we have
still other evidence quite sufficient to convict
them Of the treason of deserting McCarty q
regular democratic nominee, and voting for
Gen. Leslie Coombs, an old enemy Of the Dem
ocratc party, and as hostile now as he ever was
alike to its men an / its principles. Mr.. Coombs
at any rate; has generously, If not prudently
written letter owning his obligations to some
sort ola party, which we suppose he means to
have us understand are the Douslasites, though
we fail to recognize them, except from the sur
roundings, under the name which he applies to
them. Mr.. Coombs commences his letter thus
"LExINGToN, Aug. z, 1860
"GENTLEMEN: Profoundly grateful as am
to Providence and the people for making me

This single word is sufficient on all points
with which Mr.. Coombs is concerned, save one.
He did not tell us what compensation he has
agreed TO give this patriotic national Union de-
mocracy" for their support. This is an inter-
esting omission. sE
The Paducah' Herald adds its testimony, in
ore er to prove the fact OF the fusion by the con-
currence Of all parties. 1t says:
"Nearly the whole Douglas party Of this CITY

the Know Nothing party Nearly the whole
mass OF them, Dutchmen and all, voted for
Coombs, the standard bearer OF the know mo-
thing party, leaving the little demagogue Doug.
las without party and without friends"
The genuine democracy charge it, the Doug
lasites confess il, the know nothings return
their thanks for it! Nothing could be more
clear, whether ii is satisfactory or otherwise -
The Douglasites have gone over to Bell and Ev
erett and. though this may help the latter can
didates, we have curiosity to know what be-
comes Of Douglas and johnson in the transfer
We doubt, however, whether the true Democ-
