Daily national Democrat., 1860-08-10

Although the undersigned is Chairman Of the
Committee appointed by the regular Democratic
Convention Of Yuba county, it would, in his judg
ment under the peculiar state of affairs now ex-
isung be impolitic for him or that Committee TO
stand in the way ofa perfect union Of those Dem.
ocrats who last year advocated the views Of Mr..
DOUGLAS and those who then supported the Ad.
miuistration, aud who stil adhere to the regular
National organization. lie, therefore, instead OF
issuing cal for a meeting OF the Committee, re-
spectully recommends his Democratic friends
throughout the county to participate in the Prl-
mary Elections to be held in the several Precincts
on Tuesday August 2Sth, 1860, in accordance
with call dated August sth, 1860, and signed

in the National Convention, by delegates who
refused to secede.
"MinaeSota-A Mr. Johnson, who was
never heard of before as u delegate from Min
nesota, cast one vote, wHeu she should have
given. fany at all, but the half of one vote. -
We have thus. in the present and preced-
ing number of the DEMOCRAT condensed the
facts presented by the Committee on Address
of the National Democratic Convention
They conclude their very able effort in these
words:
Fellow citizens, we have thus explained at
length the controversy between the supporters OF
Breckenridge aud Lane upon the one side, and the
regular nominees Of the Democratic party upon
the other.
1t remains for us to add, as the sentiment of
the Democratic National Committee, and as the
universal sentiment Of the supporters of Douglas
ana johnson, that no compromise whatever is al.
mlsSlble. We desire to ascertain the strength of
the National Democracy IN every State North
and South, and we intend to ascertain 1t. We
have made no proposition for JOINT electoral
ticket in any State; and we earnestly exhort you
TO reject such propositions indignantly, Whenever
and wherever made. II we have any friends IN
any State, let those friends call State COnven-
ton at once aud nOmipdte u full electoral ticket,
pledged to the exclusive support of Douglas and
johnson. We can agree to nothing else; be-
cause to acknowledge the right of factious mi
nority to dictate their own terms Of co-operatOn-
suffer chem to violate the solemn professions of
The Democratic party, aud trample under foot our
Democratic usages-wUuld be to dsband the ma
uunal organization at once Do not fall there
fore, to act Immediately; assemble yourselves
everywhere, by States, by counties and by neigh
borhOOds; take no counsel, and listen TO no sug-
gestiOns from those who have so shamefully de
serted the National Democracy Every vote for
Breckenridge and Lane is a vote, indirectly, at
least, for Lincoln and Hamln a vote for nau-
guratlng an "Irrepressbe cOnflt" between the
North and South, and therefore a vote for the
dlSunion OF the States.
BE not deceived by the plausible assertions Of
your enemies Breckenridge and Lane have no
trength, not the least, in any Of the Northern
States. They will not receive one electoral e
IN the North, and except perhaps, in three or four
Northern States, will not have even an electoral
ticket.
On the other hand, if the Southern Democracy
should now desert the Democracy of the North,
II would be an end Of the alliance between them.
What remains, then, to the South if she would
maintain the Constitution, the Union, and the in
tcgrty and usageS of the Democratic party, but
the cordial support and consequent election of
Douglas and johnson.
We commit these issues to your determination.
Their Importance cannot be overestimated they
involve the fate OF the Democratic party and Of
that Union it has 50 faithfully, aud constantly,
and zeal0usly maintained.

ARRE5rs-Iwo colored individuals. named
respectively Mr.. Pagan and Mr.. Doe were
arrested, yesterday, by officer Vandvke at a
place near the Eight Mile House on the Orc
vile road, charged with stealing pair Of
cloth pants, linen coat and pair of gate,
shoes. 1t is doubtful which one of them
committed the theft, but one Of them was
about to get married an hour or two before
his arrest, and suspicion rests upon him, on
the ground that he would be likely to feel
inclined to sleek up. The articles were
stolen from the Dawson House, out of one Of
the rooms, Wednesday morning.
John Paulin was arrested for violation of
City Ordinance, by shooting at a mark with.

DoMos OF A Mon IN ST. LouIs.-The 81

DoIyds OF 4 Mon IN Sr. LouIs.-The st.
Republican Of July 26th says;
Last night witnessed a sad spectacle for ST;
Louis-one which, it must be hoped, wlil
never be seen ngain. 1t is known to many OF
our readers that during the past two or three
years the nrighborhood of Almond and Pop
lar streets, between Main and Fourth, has
been colonized bya number of degraded men
and women who have been constant pest
to the whole community, providing PRISON
ers for the calaboose and workhOuse, and fur
nishing countless examples of immortality and
vice for our people of both sexes These
abandoned wretches, living by means the
most frichtful to contemplate, have latterly
become so audacious in the preparation OF
their unchecked excesses that persons VINO
have been subjected 10y them to daily eX-
periences, as revolving as they were bold,
last night took the law into their own hands
and administered terrible retributiGn.-
What the origin of the plan was, or who
were the principal parties influential III set
ting it on foot, could not be ascertained 10y
us. There appeaPs to have been but few
individuals concerned in the undertaking, as
at first resolved upon, and it Is likely that
the original project comprised the demoll-
lion Of only two or three places, where the
nuisance had become most intolerable; but as
the work of destruction commenced, the ac-
tors readily gained many accessions, until at
last crowd of six or seven thousand had
assembled moving from from spot to spot at
the shout of the ringleaders.
The Republican gives long account of the
dongs of the mob from which it appears
that large number of houses were broken
into and every thing inside of them broken
to pieces or thrown into the streets, and the
inmates compelled to seek safety elsewhere.
The police interfered, but were driven back
by the mob. The exertions made 10y officer
Kennedy were too much for him. On re-
turning to his beat from the scene of excite
ment, he fell down and died in a short time
from sheer exhaustion. The work of demo
lition commenced at in the evening, and
continued till in the morning Up to 3
O'Clock on the morning of the 26th, about
sixty of the mob bad been arrested.

DOUGLAS IN New YoRK.-A little over q
month ago the Buffalo IN. " Courier said
If the election were to take place within &
week, Judge Douglass would carry New
York by an overwhelming majority. But
as he stands upon the rock of principle, We
believe he will gain rather than lose bv the
discussions and incidents of a more protrac.

which preceded this nomination do not prov,

CALL AND SEE THEM-Mr Abbott, "A D
street, opposite the St. Nicholas Hotel, has
received a supply Of Morrilrs Eroyapor
cooking stoves-an invention admirably
adapted to this country, as it saves fuel,
avoids heat, is perfectly safe, and is fair
cheaper than any ordinary stove for use. The
flame is easily kindled, and easily extin-
guished,and cooking is done in a surprisingly
short time. In fact, so readily are these
stoves used, so little expense are they, SO lit
tie room do they occupy, so movable are they
from one part Of house to another, that
cookins with them becomes merely pas
'ime instead Of drudgery. By all means go
and look at them.

The Douglas and johnson ratification meet.
ing at Springfield, on the 25th of July, is con.
ceded, says an eastern paper, to have been
the largest political demonstration ever held
in Illinois. Over forty thousand persons
were present Mr.. Lincoln viewed the
crowded streets of the city from the dome of
the Capitol, Il pronounced the assemblage the
largest he had ever seen. The excitement
and enthusiasm exceeded anything that has
been witnessed since the log-cabin days OF
1910.

RUNAwAy.-Our friend Spreckles, was
driving along his lager beer wagon, yester-
day morning, drawn by two horses, when
one of his lines fell under one of the horses
tails. The animal started frantically and
the other one became frightened also Finally
the horse that had the rein under his tail
kicked up and got one of his legs over it.,
aud moved off more expeditiously than ever
Spreckles held on yaliantly, and the horses
tore down towards the steep bank of the
river. Fortunately they stopped before
reaching that dangerous point, and Spreckles
got out to see what was the damage. None
at all. One keg Of beer had rolled out in
the middle of the street, but the hoops were
strong and stood the shock. The accident
happened on First street, between c and B.

EDWARD EvERETT.-The New York Tri-
bune of July 25th says; "It is privately
reported, and the report is not improbable,
that Mr. Everett is about to withdraw his
name from the Presidential canvass. The
reason & ven for this determination is that he
is unwilling to be, even tacitly, party to
the intrigue for the elevation of General Lane

leading Northern members of the National
Union party are now engaged"

Ell DORADO CoUNTY-The Central Califor-
nian, speaking of politics in El Dorado coun.

nearly all for Douglas. An intelligent Dem
ocrat from Greenwood says there is not a
Breckenridge man in that town. At Ell Do
rado (Mud Srrings) the Sceessionists are
scarce as "tears in the eyes of hardened sin
ners." At Durock precinct, after inquiry
thus far, not Breckenridge man has been
found. AT Newtown, about one in four OF
the Democracy are disposed to bolt; the rest
are true TO the regular nominees. AtGeorge-
town, the Democracy are about to organize
a Douglas and johnson club. The voters
are pretty much all for Douglas there AT
Gold Hill the majority of the Democracy are
for the regular nominees.

This last named Convention styled itsel
the Anti Mormon Nominating Convention.
and appears to have been opposed to any
election of officers under the old Mormon
laws The following resolutions adopted by
the County Convention, will explain the diff.
ference between the two parties:
ReSotOcd, That in the opinion of this con.
vention the laws which are constitutional and
apply to this county, are good in themselves
ana II carried out III good faith by the officers
elected, VIII be the means of affording us II
good, cheap and efficient county government
ReSotped, That the silly effort now being
made by the posting OF handblls, head, d
"Antl> Mormon" to defeat county organiza.
uon, Is an absurd device to impose UPON the
credullty OF the people, and an insult to their
understanding, there being few or no Nor
mons IN our midst, and few sympathisers with
them.
ResOlred, That we will not vote for or
recommend our fellow-citizens to vote for
any man, for any office who does not tr.t
pledge himself to serve, ii elected, and qualify
as an officer.
ReSotved, That believing any government
better than no government, we recommend Ia
our fellow citizens 10 turn out upon the dav
OF election and 10y their votes organize and
give US stability and protection
AS yet it is not known how the election
has resulted, but accounts already received
indicate that the County Convention capdi-
dates have been successful
