FIGHTGNG FOR THE SAME PRINCIPLES w.
H. Weeks. in the course of his remarks Sat-
urday evening, declared that the Republicans
and Douglas men were fighting for the same
principles, and therefore exhorted them to
vote for Lincoln, as there was no possible
chance to elect Douglas. IL said their roads
diverged little, but that they were aiming
for the same destination. The only difference
between him and his Anti-Lecompton friends
(for be it known he has heretofore been a
Douglas man, was that he was in the straight
road whilst theirs was a little more circuit
GUS What think Democrats of this exposl-
tion? Are any of them willing to co operate
with any such party as adheres to the same
principles that the Republicans do?-Erpress.
Is there any consummate ass in the coun-
try that hasn't more sense than to be inhu-
enced by such statement as the above p
The Republican Party are doing their best to
break down the cause of Douglas in this
State, because they know that he has the best
chance for carrying the State. and they try
to make him odious to the ignorant and un-
reasoning by pretending that his principles
lean to Republcanism. 1t is base and con-
temptible trick, but too shallow to deceive
any man with three grains of sense in his
head.
The Republicans throughout the country
are bitter in their hatred of Douglas and are
ready to do anything that will injure him.
They think, in this State, they can iniure
him best by playing the skunk, and trying
to infect the Douglas party with their own
peculiar odor But they will fall short of
the mark. There is an undoubted sympathy
between the Breckenridge party and the Re.
publicans in this State. for they are working
together against Douglas all the time, and
you will see that the Breck nridge papers
love to quote from the organs of the Repub-
lican party. They will always find in their
columns something designed to iniure the H.
linois statesman. The Buchanan men and
Republicans in Illinois worked together in
the same way against the same man, but
their joint efforts signally failed.

TUESDAY MORNING, JULY gath.

UEENAx AND SAYEEs.-The following ae-
count Of fight. which occurred yesterday,
has been furnished us by a spectator:
a fight came off between a young man
named Buekbridge and son of Crispip,
called "the Pole" The cause of the fight
was the breaking Of glass in a bar-room
The Pole, skylarking with Buck, pushed his
(Buck's) arm against the glass and broke it.
The barkeeper demanding payment, the
Pole said he would not pay for it, as he had
not touched the glass. Buck said, 'you
showed my arm against it, therefore You
must pay for it." Pole said, Il will fight you
to see who pays" They then went to the
slough, at the end of Second street, with
their seconds, and got ready. but the "beaks
stopped them. They then adjourned to the
lane near Dr. Teegardeu's, where they formed
a ring and the fight commenced
First Round-Both came up the scratch
the Pole confident. being the heavier of the
two. They SPARED while, when both hi
together; the Pole got it on the smel!er ant
Buck on the cheek. They spared again
when they clinched and Buck was thrown
by the Pole.
Second Round-The same as the first the
Pole throwing Buck.
Third Round-Buck a little cautious; the
Pole looking forward, Buck putting in two
good lcks, one on the throat and the other
on the cheek, knocked the Pole off his feet,
which closed that round.
Fourth fifth, and sixth rounds were all in
Bucks favor
Seventh Round-The Pole refused to fight
said he wouldn't fight another round for
fifty dollars. So the Pole had to pay for the
glass.
1t should be mentioned that there was no
blood drawn.

disunionists and enemies to the Democracy
aud called upon all who loved their country
or party to stand by Douglas, the regular

of the meeting.

A FIzzLE,-The Placer Herald, published
at Auburn, pronounced the salute which it is
said was fired at that place for Douglas and
johnson a magnificent fizzle.-Erpress.
How silly You may call a meeting that
don't suit you fzzle, but to undertake to
call a salute fizzle, is piece of imbecility.
We suppose powder will make a noise, if it
is ignited in a confined space, as well for one
party as for another A salute fzzle I

RArE.-A Chinese female on Virgin Alley
was heard to scream frantically, last evening,
about sundown, articulating the word, "Si-
mon Chi" "Simon Chi, "(policeD at the top
OF her voice An immense crowd gathered
at the spot and, finally, Simon Chi made his
appearance, but the cause of the uproar had
vanished. 1t seems that the female in ques-
ton was rudely assailed by "a fend in hu-
man shape" and barely preserved the jewel
Of her life. Search was made for the monster
of this outrageous scene in every nook and
corner, but he had made his escape

A NUr FOR THE BoLrERs To CRACK.-The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune says that Hon. Herschel V. johnson.
nominated by the Democratic Convention at
Baltimore for Vice President, was refused
admission into that Convention, for not being
accredited as delegate properly. What have
the Boilers to say to this They are very
fond of alleging that injustice was done in
the Convention by the admittance Of dele
gates, because they were for Douglas, and
the exclusion of others, because they were
opposed to him. This is the chief reason
they say Why they support the seeeders
tleNeI vi course, it is very natural that
they should put up such plea as this for
boiling Is 1t not well known that delegates
of the Yancey school went into that Conven.
ton with the intention to bolt, if they could
not have a slave code platform adopted? OF
course, failing to obtain their kind of Mat
form, they withdrew, and Immediately raised
the cry that they had been forced to leave
the Convention, on account of partialty
shown in the admttance of delegates. The
refusal to admit Herschel V. johnson shows
the kind Of Partially" used.

a RurrIAN.-A struggling stranger in the
city stopped at a fruit stand on G street, near
the Market, yesterday, and purchased apples
and oranges to the amount of six bits After
eating them, he started to walk off without
paying. The fruit man politely limited to
him that he owed him six bits. "FU pay you
your six bits" replied the loafer. and landed
his fist in the fruit mans face, which sent him
rceling. The dose was repeated, and the
ruffian walked off. He was not arrested, be-
canse he couldn't be found

MORMON TYRANSY-Most Of the immigrants
who have arrived at Carson Valley from Salt
Lake, have signed paper for publication in
the Territorial Enterprise, setting forth their
reasons for leaving Salt Lake. Owing to the
length of the paper, however, the Enterprise
does not publish it, but gives the substance
This company numbers about l50 persons,
having 50 wagons and some 500 head of
stock. They were originally induced to go
to Salt Lake through the misrepresentation
of the Mormon missionaries. On reaching
there, however, they found every thing the
reverse of what had been represented. One
tenth Of their crops was vigorously exacted to
swell the revenues of the church. New and
repulsive features were engrafted upon their
religion as they had accepted it, and practices
wholly at variance with their sense of decen-
cy were attempted to be enforced in their
midst. They at length determined to escape
from these impositious and burdens, and
started for Carson Valley about the middle
of May, Notwithstanding they were threat
ened with determination if they left, and
told that they would never reach California
alive On reaching Ruby Valley, they ,ound
that the blood-hounds of Mormondom were
on their track, intent on executing their
threats. On the night of the 2lst May,
while encamped at that plaza. party of
mounted men approached their company, but
! finding them on the alert, fed without max
ing an attack Some days after, while they
were encamped in q canyon 16 miles fromWil-
low Springs, men supposed to be white, were
discovered by the guard, whooping like In
dians, and, apparently only prevented from
making an attack 10y the presence of the u.
S. troops, who were acting as an escort to
the emigration, the latter, upon discovering
their perilous situation at Ruby Valley, hav-
ing made successful application to Lieut..
Perkins for aid and protection.
The following day, Thomas Miller, one of
the emigraDts. was shot by an unknown par
ty in the same canyon, and several head of
the cattle he was attending were killed This
was no doubt the work of their murderous
puI suers who seemed bent on their destruc-
tion which they would have effected beyond
any question but for the presence of Lieut..
| Perkins and his command To this gallant
officer and his associate, Lieut.. Weed, the
emigrants feel that they are indebted for the
preservation of their lives and property
