Truly politics makes strange bed
fellows. The following paragraphs from
"National Democrat" new Breckenridge
Democratic paper just established at Ea-
ton, Ohio, will show how things are work
ing;
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE
That the Douglas men Georgia in Tennes-
see and other States, have united with the
Know Nothing party, to defeat the regular
Democratic nominees of the Democratic
party.
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE
That at the election just held in Kentucky,
the Douglas men united with the Know
Nothing party, and cast their whole vote
in favor of Coombs, an avowed Know
Nothing, and thereby elected him.
What do you think, Germans and Irish
men, of being sold and Belled like sheep,
by those to whom you have entrusted your
political rights? You are sold and driven
by the Douglasites into the camp and COM
PEELED to strike hands with your Know
Nothing enemies, those who drove you
from the polls in 1855; those who shot
down, murdered and and burnt your wives
and children, and swore to exclude you
from every office of honor and emolument! !!
Will you tamely submit to the salea If
you are willing to forget the wrongs and
outrages heaped upon you-forget the time
when the "bones of your wives and chill
dren cracked in the Know Nothing fires
of Louisville" and allow yourselves to be
bartered of, your God and country shold
forget you.

CONTENT FOB PooR MEs.--It seems natural
to a Democrat to hate poor maa. wigfall
thinks him criminal, Hammond calls him q
mudsill; Green denouRces him as one of the
lazzaroni; johnson thinks he ought to be slave
and Delusion Smith, of Oregon, Joe. Lane late
partner in the U. s. Senate, in the late public
speech in Oregon City, said:
He had rather be q decent mans nigger al
the South, than poor laborer in the North.
If there is a decent man in the South wht

Result i'm New York.

The New York Post estimates that the
Republican majority in that State will be
$4,000 This estimation is made from in
formation from every county in that State.
The Tribune also fgurers up by the coun-
ties, and sets the majority for LINCOLN
over Gall Sorts in the State" at 55,5OO.-
The Tribune hopes to do better even than
that, and says if Breckenridge men resist
'fusion" the Lincoln Majority will be one
hundred thousand.

HIt is evident from the latest intelligence
from the Pacific coast, that DouGL Al has not the
slightest chance of carrying California. Oregon
is almost certain for LINCOLN, even in case of a
fusion between che friends of BKEcKEsRrpeE and
DoUeIAs, which can ohly be nominal at best
DoretAs. with his Slave Code and Slave Trade
appendage, HERscHEL V. JOHNSON, will hardly
carry a single State.

DEATH OF BRIGADIER GENERAL CLARKE, L.
). A.-Brevet Brigadier General Newman s.
Clarke, Commanding Pacific Division T. S A.,
expired at Z o'clock Wednesday morning. at
his apartments in the Tehama House, after an
illness of several days. He entered the SER
vice in 1872, at the age of 10, and was 67
years old at his decease-his rank being Col
OF 9Th Infantry. He distinguished himselfin
the war Of 1912, and in Florida, and has al
ways been on the frontier, doing good and
unceasing service to his country. He served
through the Mexican war, where he COM
manded brigade and was present at nearly
all the battles in Mexico, after which war he
was brcvetted Brigadier General.
Five years ago, he was appointed to the
command of the Pacific Division, succeeding
Gen. Wool, and his military talent was i'm
mediate'y manifest in his vigorous exerlions
in all directions, by which the Oregon and
Mojave wars were closed out in few months;
thus putting an end to the long and weari-
some period of savage hostilities which had,
until then, baiiled the skill of his predeces-
sors. His brilliant campaign in the Spokane
war lin Oregon and Washington Territory J
was theme of universal admiration. He put
his forces in the field, fought several battles,
and completely reduced those warlike tribes
in less than one hundred US, so that not the
least sign of hostilities has since been noticed.
The people of the North were loud in his
praise, and will cherish his memory with
gratitude and respect.
Gen. Clarke was one Of the old school of
soldiers-poite and affable in manners, cour-
teous in his address, and withal one Of the
most unaesuming and modest men in the SER
vice. lie was remarkably intelligent, and
his memory was singularly acute-enabliug
him to recall at will dates, circumstances and
names, connected with his eventful ca.eer of
near half a century. He was a faithful
friend and an affcctionate husband and
f.thcr lie died calmly and easily, and strong
in the convictions of The brighter and better
world, for which he had never been unpre-
pared.
The funeral will take place tomorrow, at
p. NJ, the body to be escorted by the entire
military volunteer force of the city. to the
Sacramento boat to be conveyed to Benicia,
where it will be temporarily deposited in the
army vault
The present senior in the army in Califor-
MIA is Col b. 5. Beall at Fort TETON, who will
command the Pacific Division, at the pleas
ure of the Department at Washing gton.-SF I.
