Mr.. Conness' Convention.


As We anticipated and predicted, Mr..
CONFESS had complete and absolute con-
troll over his Convention which met in
this city on Wednesday. 1t was disa-
greeablc to witness the subservicncy and
obsequiousness OF, not only his old adhe-
rents, but his new followers also. His
vast superiority over them was at once
apparent The slightest indication of his
wishes was sufficient. He commanded,
they Obeyed, with servility truly disgust
ing. The temporary chairman, with an
ill.concealed sigh and bitter irony, said he
liked the complexion Of the Convention.
So did we. How must CONFESS have felt?
His old enemies at his feet, piteously
begging him to recognize their claims, and
fawningly, cringingly soliciting his sup
port With . smile Of exultation or q
sneeripg remark, he granted their request
or coldly turned from them. A recent
convert, for whom CONFESS entertains
profound contempt, thinking to gain Con-
ness appreciation, made a motion which
he thought would meet the views Of his
new master. Foolish man! He had scarce
~ made the motion when CONFESS pro-
nOunced 1t absurd, and the imprudent
delegate, trembling in his knees and look
ing aPpealingly at CONFESS. precipitately
withdrew the motion. He wilted instantly.
All acknowledged Conness the master
spirit Of the COnventiOn-nearly all i'm
plicitly Obeycd him. He made every
nomination, and dictated the course to be
pursued. In some instances he ruthIessly
sacrificed his old friends, merely to show
the tremendous power he welded and
how dangerous it was to cross his path.
It was Q lesson re wished to impress on
his new followers, and they will profit
BY it.
A few-preciOus few-had the indie
pendence and manliness to oppose him,
bat they were either despOtically ruled
out Of order BY the President, or laughed
out Of cOuntenance by the Convention, or
sDosrsd down by . hooking gesture or
smile Of CONFESS, 1t was a Convention
Il OsrfS. bliDdly Obeying the commands of
Q superior. We were glad to see CONFESS
lord It over them with such mOcking in
difference. He knew and felt his power,
and made them feel it, too. Good for
COnness: We hope ever to see him tri-
umph over the men who hate yet fuse
with him, to injure their old friends, and
defeat the Democratic party.

In LucK.-Our friend Bates was placed
in nomination before Mr.. CONFESS obse.
quious convention. Several ballots were
had, in one of which he received one rote !!
Surprise having been expressed at the
unanimity of sentiment against his nomi-
nation, and his pertinacity in remaining
in the field, an ardent Douglasite irrever-
emily remarked, "He is in big luck to get
one vOte!" Bad treatment to q "vcteran
Democrat who was rocked in the cradle
Of Democracy"

a distressing death on Thursday morning
last at the house Of Dr. j. II. Edwards,

she was soon found lying on the ground,
burned to death. She was an interesting,
intelligent child, aged five years. Judge
Irvine, Of FL Dorado, held an inquest on
the body, and the jury rendered q verdict
in accordance with the above.

good reason to believe that the exhibition

ORJEcTs.-B. F. Marshall, of Murphy's. who
participated in the late Douglas Convention at
Campo Seco, Calaveras county. gives notice in
a card, in the Independent, that he does not
consider himse II bound to support the ticket.
for the reason that one or more Of the nominees
are Black Republicans.
We are crcdibly Informed that ffty.six
anti-Lecomptonites have Joined the Re-
publican Club in this city,-not one Ad-
ministration Democrat. This shows the
little difference between Republicanism
and Douglasism.

that, in case the former is elected Presi.

TwEEDLE-DrNA AND TwEEDLE- DEE.-The
Sacramento Bee, favorable to the Doug.
lasites, relates the following:
General Denver and General McDouUall
addressed the First Ward Douglas Club of ibis
city. That was on the night offs organization.
A prominent Douglas man told US, next dSy,
that General McDUugsll made one Of the best
Republican speeches he ever beard, and that he
told the General, after he was through speak
ing, that if he intended To talk that way over
the country, it would be better for him to 20
home, and remain silent, for he had talked most
excellent Republican doctrine. At this rate il
would appear that the Douglas men and Re.
publicans can hardly tell which is which"
We have it from the best authority that
when DR.. Harvey, Mr.. CONFESS nominee
for the Senate, addressed the Douglas
Club Of this city "in the English Ian.
guage" week ago last night, he uttered
not word against the Republicans or the
platform but indirectly favored both, and
with all the rancor of life. long hatred
to the Democratic party, bitterly assailed
it. Such men unwavering Democrats are
called upon to support! Importunate
office-seekers and apostates mainly COM
pose the Douglas party of Ell Dorado.

A VILE REsORr.-The Douglasites are
driven to desperate extremities, and to
avoid defeat, are ready to make any sac
ritice Of principles,-to inculcate any doc
trine Of outrage. Expedients of all kinds
are alike welcome to them, if they add one
follower to their standard. Not satisfied
with the multiplicity Of false charges, pre-
ferred against the Democratic party, in
the shape Of accusations, that that party
desires to force slavery upon the Terrific
ries, that it favOrs disunion, &c.,-these I'M
principled factionists are striving to arouse
the angry passions of religious prejudice
throughout the country, by appeals to the
Catholic voter, to lend their aid in the
coming election to Mr.. Douglas because
he is welded to q wife Of that faith;
while they assert, that Mr.. Breckenridge is
of Presbyterian parentage and prcdiIec.
tons. This is vile resOrt-unworthy Of
the age, and in direct conflict with the
teachings Of that glorious instrument, the
Constitution Of the United States, which
says, no religious test shall ever b. re.
quired as qualification to any Office or
public trust under the United States"
