CoMPENsATING BENEFIT
show that the decrease of the yield of gold
in Australia, since 1858, has been about one
million dollars, and gradual decrease has
been noticed for several years In the ratio
OF this decrease has been an increase of sgri-
cultural products Withdrawing from the
mines or the pursuit of mineral wealth. men
of industry and enterprise have settled upon
the agricultural regions. opened farms and
cultivated the soil. The result has been the
benefit of the individual himself and of the
country.
The same compensating benefit for the fail.
ure of the mineral yield has been observable
in California in those places which, once
rich with gold, have been worked out. In
those regions. lately dotted with scraggy
looking mining cabins, and presenting a
rude and half civilized appearance we behold
rose-embo vine-clad cottages, neat
farms, fragrant gardens and vine yards, wa
wing fields of grain, and in short delicious
and permanent homes With Agriculture
thus treading upon the heels of the mining
population, and beautifying the waste and
abandoned places. We can scarcely regret the

The Chances Of Douglas.

The last Pony Express brings the newS
that on the eve Of the assembling of the
Charleston Convention. Douglas stock was
rising. The rooms of Judge Douglas were
thronged, night and day, by the leading pol
itieians of the country. and the assemblages
resembled succession of Presidential levees
more than the mere audiences Of Senator
Of the United States.
The indications are strong that Douglas
will be nominated at Charleston. The most
available candidate Of the South for the
Presidency, Alexander II. Stephens, of Geor-
gia has withdrawn in his favor and does not
hesitate to declare that, in his opinion, the
nomination of Judge Douglas is the only
thing which will save the Democratic party
in the coming election. Hon. Albert Rust, of
Arkansas has written home to his constituents
letter, expressing the same opinion, aud.
although Mr. Thompson, of Mississippi, is the
first choice Of the delegates elected from Ar
kansas. there is but little doubt that they
will be found to have cast their votes for
Stephen A. Douglas as their second choice
for the position. They would have preferred
an extreme Southern man but, not being
able to nominate their preference, they would
vote for Douglas as the ablest and safest
Democrat of the entire North.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Cobb. too, from
the arena, is not witout its significance. 1t
is all indicative Of a favorable result to Doug
las
But, the strongest inducement yet offered
to the Charleston Convention, to nominate
Douglas, is the mortal terror which the Re-
publieans exhibit with regard to him. Every
Republican orator and every Repul lcan
press, throughout the length and breadth Of
the land, has been busy. abusing and villify-
ing him. The choicest vials Of their wrath
have been heaped upon his head He has
been accused of more than Musselman devo.
ton to the South as the Mecca of his polit-
ical thoughts and tendencies And, while
all this has been going on, the Republican
press has been industriously incorporating
him as weak at the North, and not capable
of ralying the Democratic strength Of that
region. and they have done this with SO
manifest desire that he should not be con-
sidered available at Charleston, as to over
leap their object and convince every South
ern delegate that of all men in the Union they
dread to see Douglas pitted against the Re
publican nominee, They would far rather
have some ultra fire eater or secessionst or
Lecomptonite opposed to them. Such man
they could beat easily. but Douglas he is
an antagonist they fear.
1t is to be hoped, for the sake Of the Union
and for the sake of the Democratic party,
that Douglas has been nominated.

CoRRUFTINe ELEcrIoNs-If the President
of the United States is guilty of one in par
ticuldr of the charges into the truth of which
the House Committee is now inquiring, to
wit: the use of money in carrying elections,
he is the guiltiest of men for it is an act
which he himself has most pointedly de-
nounced and stigmatized. He cannot have
sinned, therefore, without a full consciousness
of violating q plain dictate of his own
conscience In 1858. he wrote letter in
reply to an invitation to be present at eel
etration of the founding of the city of Pitts
burgh, in which he said:
81 shall assume the privilege Of advancing
| years in referring to another growing and
dangerous evil. In the last age, although
our fathers, like ourselves, were divided into
political parties which often had severe con-
ficts with each other, yet We never heard
until within recent period, of the employ
ment of money to carry e,ections Should
this practice increase until the voters and
their Representative in the State and Ma
tional Legislatures shall become infected, the
fountain of Free Government will then be
poisoned at its source, and we must end, as
history proves, in a military despotism. A
democratic Republic. all agree. cannot long
survive unless sustained by public virtue
When this is corrupted and the people be-
come venal. there is a canker at the root of
the Tree Of Liberty, which must cause it to
wither and to die"
Now, this rabid House Committee swear
they are going to prove that Mr. Buchanan
has influenced elections, directly. by giving
out fat jobs to partisans and having the pro
ceeds distributed with a view to the success
of his party favortes. We hardly believe
this can be proven. but time will show.
