TIE Folly OF THE Projection DOCTRINE
The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, Breckinridge
paper, says:
"The decision to insist on special Congress
sional interposition for the protection of sla-
very in the territories, amounts to dissou-
tion of the confederacy. 1t cannot be obtain
ed and if we determine to insist upon it to
oil extremities (Which we should certainly
do if it is a clear and valuable right then W e
may prepare ourselves at once for national
as well as a party disruption. No man can
believe that Congressional protection before
q Congress so largely freesoi can meet with
a better fate than it did before the Democrat
ic Convention"
The Columbus (Ga.) Times, another Breck
inridge paper, said before the meeting of the
Charleston Convention:
"What platform shall be insisted upon as
an ultimatum ? Shall it be the recognition
of the doctrine of protection and a pledge
that Congress shall intervene when necessa-
rys We say no! Why insert this principle
in platform before there is any cali for its
direct application and before Legislation is
demanded by reason of rights sacrificed in
the Territories We endorse the princi-
pie as correct in theory, and will never part
with the Constitutional right to its enforce
ment, when there is a case in point, but why
anticipate the ends? Why not wait until
the emergency rises? p

ASSAULT TO MuRDER.-Robert Robinson,
County Judge of this county, and L. b.
Crocker have been absent several days in
Sonoma county, attending to matters cohnec-
ted with land owned by them in the vicinity
of Cloverdale. Being successful in their suit
and having been put in possession by the
Sheriff, they were visited by some dozen or
more squatters who threatened them and ad-
vised them to leave the neighborhood Judge
Robinson very charaeterlstcally declined
leaving, saying that he was there on legiti-
mate business, etc. Mr.. Croker left on the
stage on Tuesday and Judge Robinson started
on his return at noon in his covered carriage,
with his wife and child. He had proceeded
about four miles from Cloverdale. and while
passing through piece of woods was shot

PROGRESS OF THE FILLIBUsTERs IN LOWER
CALIFoRNTA.-It was announced few days
since, that body of fillibusters had left Los
Angeles county, on an expedition against
Lower California A correspondent of the
Alta, writing from San Diego, under date of
September 2Sth, gives some account of their
progress, from which it appears there has
been some fighting and loss of life, and that
Gov. Esparza is apt TO fare badly unless he
receives succor. many of his adherents having
left him and cleared out" The correspon-
dent says:
Juan Mendoza, formerly resident of Low
er California, is at the head of this organiza-
ton. The principal elements of it are the
disaffected refugees of Lower California, who
were banished 10y Gov. Esparza, some months
since, or who left their country for their
countrys good, and few hirelings, who are
notorious for their bad character, or the
crimes they have committed. The whole
object of this expedition is, TO use a cant
phrase to "clean out" Governor Esparza and
reinstate the "Thieves" whom he drove out
of the country.
On crossing the line, G len. Mendoza-God
knows how he got this title, unless la mode
Walker, who dubbed himsef-mmediatelv

like many a hero who has went to war and
glory before him, by appropriatiug the prop.
erty of the surprised inhabitants to the use of
his army and swelling his ranks by pressing
Ill of the able bodied men of the country into
his service. At this juncture of affairs, on the
frontier, Gov. Esparzl was at San Qaentin,
attending to some official business. Not
having any regular force with him, he gath
cred upa few of his party in that vicinity
and entrenched himself at Santa Tomas
where he was safe at last accounts Many
of Gov. Esparza adherents, true and lawful
thinking prudence the better part of valor,
made good their escape to this place, where
they are enjoying themselves freely, while
their chief is in trouble, and will probably be
killed in few days, unless some succor
should unexpectedly arrive.
The last news from the scene of war is, that
the advance guard of the fillibusters, and a
small party going to the relief of Governor
Esparza, had a skirmish in which some six or
more men were killed on the Esparza side
The loss of the fillibusters is not known. The
tllibusters have also taken and shot one
Manuel Silvers, Chileno, who was acting in
some official capacity under Gov Esparza.
The San Diegomans are making a strong
effort to get up a company, and go to the
relief of Gov. Esparza. How they will sue
eeed, am not able to even guess at this
time. There is much feeling here, for the
reason that if Mendoza and his fllibusters
succeed in taking the couatry it will imme.
diately be filled up again with the same class
of people that occupied it before Governor
Esparza took charge there. Should this be
the case, the inhabitants of this county would
suffer much, as these desperadoes would come
into it and steal any and everything that they
could, and in few hours be across the line
with it, where, as before. they could enjoy it

FEDERAL PRoscRIprIoN STILL GOING oN.-
The st. Louis correspondent of the Alta
writes thae the Postmaster at Warsaw, Mo,
lately received the following interesting doci
ument-a sample probably Of those sent to
other officers:
L. 0. DEPARTMENT, APPOINTMENT OFFICE,
September &c, 1860.
SIR; 1t is alleged that, in your political ac-
ton, you are "violent and uncompromisng, {"
that the friends of Mr. Breckenridge can
seldom receive at the post office decent and
respectful attention from you and your en-
ployes," and that efforts are being made bv
the citizens for your removal on the ground
OF incompeieney, independent of party con-
siderations.

answers as you may wish to make to these
charges.

AccEssIoNs TO Mr.. BREcKISRIGE-A few
days ago; we announced that the notorious
Aboltionist, Joshua r. Giddings. had de-
clared for Breckinride in the following terms:
"As regards the two Democratic candi-
dates, | prefer Breckenridge, because he is
not as much committed to slavery as Douglas
is. Douglas is a slav veholder, and Breckin-
ridge is not, and therefore prefer him."
We can now announce another accession
to the ranks of the Brecks. Cassius NJ Clay,
an Aboitionist of the same stripe as Cid
dings, declared, in a speech delivered at
Tiffin. Ohio, in behalf OF the Abolitionists
and Republicans of the Northwest, that:
''lf we had the power, we would thou
sand times rather place Breckenridge in the
Presidential chair than Douglas"
On another occasion, this same orator sta
ted that he had always looked up to Mr.
Breckenridge as the guide and pilot of his
political opinions. Birds of feather flock

F. P. TRAcY.-The Nevada Journal men
tions the death of Z. p. Tracy, and says:

Mr.. Tracy was in early life talented
minister of the Methodist denomination, and
preached in Newturyport, Mass, which we
believe was his native place. Afterwards he
occupied a pulpit at Haydenville, near
Northampton, Mass, and became the tutor of
the sons of Hayden, wealthy manufacturer
of the place. accompanying them in tour of
Europe. He returned to the u S. in lS47 or
3, and soon after under the patronage of the
Haydens came to California in charge of a
coinage apparatus-one of the first ever bro t
to the State. In 1850 he began the practice
of law. Mr.. nacy's subsequent career is
well known. He was man of much more
than average abilities, fine orator, of gen.
ial but sensitive disposition, and generally
respected.

"Instead of breaking up the Union, We in
tend to strengthen and to lengthen it'd. G.
Breckenridge.
"The Constitution and the Equality of the
Statesl These are symbols of everlasting
Union. Let these be the rallying cries of
the people j. G. Breckenridge.
We find the above sonorous sentences ev-
cry day in the Breckenridge organs and they
make about their capital stock in trade
Does Mr.. Breckenridge, or does his party
intend to lengthen the Union by the acqusi-
tion of Mexico? If So let them say it plain
ly-we oppose and shall oppose all such
lengthening, for we believe such policy will
not strengthen, but weaken, the Union and
the South, because it will inevitably lead to
q revival of the slavery agitaton-that curse
of our country.
The last paragraph is one of those glitter
ing but unmeaning generalities which sound
so eloquently, coming from the lips of the
finished Kentucky orator, but really there is
nothing in them, except the sound "The
equality of the States" forsooth-what does
that meanY viii some good Breckinridge
friend please inform us? Hew do you pro-
pose to make the States equal? Do you pro-
pose equal rights for all OF them? But have
they not all equal rights If not, pray tell
us wherein they have not In the Uuion as
it now exists, and under the laws as they now
stand have not all the States, and all the
citizens of each State. equal rights? If not,
point out the cases, and then tell Us your
remedies. Is disunion is precipitated revo.
luton, a remedy for any evil, or any want of
equality, or any aggression which now ex-
lists? These, when analysed, are very foolish
rallying cries for a party, the leaders OF
which make meaningless declaration, called
party platform, and then vote that they
will not carry out this declaration of the duty
of the Federal Government, in a case, where
the Territorial law is against us-in case
which demands this boasted protection, i

ALroS.-Speaking of the Douglus triumph
in Alton, Illinois, the Missouri Republican
says:
In 1856, Buchanan carried the city by four
votes over Fremont, while now Kellenberger
is elected by about eighty over his opponent,
Mr.. Scarritt-one of the most popular men in
Alton. That doesn't look much as though
Lincoln is sweeping everything before him,
as the Black Republicans are trying to make
out To us it has an appearance "on the
contrary, quite the reverse"
The long and short of the matter is, that
Linconism and sectional revolution are about
"fickered out" in Illinois. No power on
earth can prevent DoUGLAs from carrying the
State by handsome majority, and he will
do it as certain as fate. The conservatives
are openly coming out for him by hundreds,
and are helping with might and main to as
sist their friends in other States, whose first
object is to defeat the geographical nominees
and put the country out of danger. The
matter Of eecting a President will be atten-
ded to afterwards
We say, well done for Alton. Let the ne
gro worshippers "look out for the locomo-
tive"

EXTRACT FROM HERsonEL V. JonNsoN's
SPEECH at ATLANTA (GA) The whole ques-
tion is forclbly and truthfully summed up by
Mr.. johnson in his Alta 5 speech, as follows:
l. No such convention as the Seceders'
Convention was ever called 1t was a rebel
lious and factious offshoot from the National
Democratic Convention.
2. In point of votes, duly accredited to
represent any portion of the Democratic
party, it numbered less than one third of the
electoral college.
8. Though it adopted, pro forma. the Gin
cinnati platform, yet it is notorious that its
leading and characteristic idea is Congress
sional protection to slavery in the Territories,
which is a tenet heretofore unknown to the
National Democracy.
T. 1t appeals to a sectional sentiment in
behalf Of sectional interest.
Tried by these tests, its claims to national
ity fall to the ground. 1t was sectional
Convention, the party was sectional party,
and its candidates are sectional candidates
Whereas Mr.. Douglas is the nominee of the
National Democl attic Convention. 1t adhered
to its ancient platform of principles, and
consisted, after the seceders retired, of more
than two thirds of the whole number of the
electoral college. 1t maintained the estab-
lished usages of the party, and its action is
binding upon all true National Democrats
Clamors and prejudice against Mr.. Douglas
may mislead the popular mind for time
but there is sincere devotion in the great
popular heart of this country, North. South,
East and West, to the princi pies of Democra-
ey which will finally re.unite its broken
columns and inspire them with new zeal in
the cause of the Constitution and Union. If
it be not so, sha-ows and gloom becloud the
future, and scarcely ray is left to gild the
patriots hope.

FIVE QUEsrIoNs-FouR OF WHICH BREcK.
lNRIDGE DEMOCRAT WILL ANSWER, AND THE
FIFTH He WILL Nor.-The Rome (Ga Courier
remarks:
Question.-How do you know that your
party is in favor of the doctrine of protection
to slavery in the Territories?
Ans.-Because they have declared clearly
and unequivocally in the platform, "that it is
the duty of the Federal Government, in all
its departments, to protect, when necessary,
the rights of persons and property in the
Territories
Ques.-When will it be necessary for the
Federal Government to afford this protec-
ton?
Ans.-When, in the language of the plat
form, the right to property in slaves is de
stroyed or impaired by Territorial Legislation. I"
Ques-Has not the Kansas Legislature
passed laws prohibiting slavery in that Ter
ritory, and thus destroyed or impaired the
right to property in slaves?
Ans.-Yes.
Ques-Is it not then necessary noD for the
Federal Government to protect the slave
owner in his rights?
Ans.-Yes.
Ques.-Why, them did Breckinridge Dem
ocratic Senators vote down the resolution in
troduced hy Senator Brown of Mississippi,
declaring it to be necessary non for the Fed,
eral Government to protect the rights of the
STAKEHOLDER ?
No answer.

swer to this last interrogatory. Ifany of our

SoSoRA.--In Sonora, the conservatives are
making an active effort to overthrow Pas
quiera and revolutionize the government. A
correspondent of the Bulletin writing from
Tucson, Arizona, Oct. goth, says that two
sons of Ex-Governor Gandara and Don Re-
mia Rivera, are the most prominent leaders
of the movement and adds:
They left Arizona and crossed the line some
three weeks since and met with no obstruc-
tion in their march to Magdalena, s5 miles
from the line. Here they concentrated their
forces, and were making preparations to
march upon Hermosillo. where the Governor
was posted, strongly fortified. Their forces
were commanded by Gabolondi who was
second in command at CavorcO, when Crabbe
was massacred. Rumor says that an en-
gagement has taken place, in which Colonel
Gabolondi and Don Remiia Rivera were both
killed but it is not generally credited.
