Not many years since the Germans voted
the Democratic ticket almost as exclusively as
the Irish do now, and thessweeping majorities
the party were wont to receive in New York,
ST. Louis, Cincinnati, and other cities, came
from the German wards. Now the case is
different, and in the cities referred to and all
over the country, large proportion of the
German voters are Republicans, and ardent,
active, working ones too. The present strength
of this element in our party may be inferred
from the fact that an incomplete list of the
German Republican papers published in the
United States numbers sixty seven, twenty
two OF which are dailies.

i The Breckenridge wing Of the Democratic
party has much greater strength iii this State
than has generally been supposed. In some
counties they will strongly contest with the
Squatters for precedence, and in all they num-
er more or less voters. Mr.. ROBERT VII
SON, of Trenton, in this county, is member
of the State Executive Committee for the 8th
Congressional District and we learn that in
Trenton, Harlem, Genoa and Porter are to be
found a number ofsupporters of Breckinridge
and Lane.
A State Convention is called to meet at
Columbus on the 18th August, when an Electo-

Stark County Democrat. Steubenville Union,
Newark Advocate, and Defiance Democrat.

The Douglas party occupies the same posi-
tion at the North that the Breckenridge party
does at the South--both being in the majori-
ty in the respective sections indicated, but
| both having to encounter the opposition of
troublesome minority. The essential differ
ence in the position Of the two parties is, that
while their numbers are of no advantage to
the Douglas men in the North the strength
of Breckenridge in the South gives him the
vote of most of those States The cassifica-

case to be as we state it. A list compiled by
the New York Herald shows the following

Would they be Admitted1

We know not what action the Douglas
Central Committee of this county intend to
take respecting delegates to the State Con-
vention. It occurs to us, however, that
should they call a county Convention, and
that Convention should send delegates to the
State Convention called by the State Central
Committee presided over 10y Joe Hoge, it
would be difficult for that body to show cause
why they should not be admitted. 1t the
Administration State organization be the on
" regular" Organization of the State, As has
already been claimed by the Administration
lists. why none the less regular is the Douglas
Democratic organization of this county. The
Administration organization, which iately
through its Central Committee maze test
excluding Douglas Democrats from a partiei-
patton in the primary elections, is itself the
most irregular Of all irregular things. 1t is
an omen and avowed boiling organization
having been established by men who acted
in all the proceedings of the regular county
convention up to the last moment; and, after
the adjournment, proceeded arbitrarily. and
audaeiuusly, and without shadow of author
ity, to call another convention, which they
denominated in their boiling lingo. "regu-
lar Democrats Convention" This Conven-
ton i, was which organized the Committee
thai now makes tests declaring that good
Democrats who have stood 10y the only reg
ular organization of the county, shall not
vote at the primary elections Is this irreg-
ular and bastard concern to be baptised, as a
Legitimate thing, at the font of the party and
the true offspring showed asideH Can Con-
vention, assembled in the name of "regulari-
ty," refuse to admit the regular delegates
of the party, and open the door to irregular
and pretended representatives There is
glariDg absurdity in the assumption.
But, it is unnecessary to dilate upon this
subject. The plain truth is, that if there be
any Irregular" State Convention to be held,
none but regular" delegates can rightly be
admitted, and no organization in this county
but the Douglas organisation can send those
delegates.
We do not design this article as a redhot
poker in the Express menagerie, but merely
as friendly suggestion to the true Democra-
cy of Yuba County, and especially to the
Douglas County Committee.
