A Word to Breckinridge Democrats.

Now that the Administration has Withdrawn
the New York Breckinridge ticket from the field
thus virtually Withdrawing their candidate
from the fght-why do not the Breckinridgers
of this State follow suit, by withdrawing their
electoral ticket? The fight in this State is be-
tween Douglas and Lincoln. Breckenridge is
third in the field. Why, then, do not the Breck
Inridgers withdraw their ticket, support Doup-
las, and thus secure this State against Lincoln
beyond all contingency? We appeal to the
Breckinrdge Democrats of this county on this
point The combinations in New York are so
constituted that twenty eight of the candidates
on the Douglas fusion electoral ticket are bound
to receive every vote cast against Lincoln in that
State Thus those twenty eight votes are al
most sure to be elected while the remaining
seven may be defeated. Those twenty-eight,
united with the vote of California, will defeat
old Abe. The vote of Shasta county may posi-
bly, secure this State against Lincoln, and TINS
accomplish his defeat. We therefore appeal to
our Breckenridge brethren to join in with us in
supporting the only ticket that will beat Lin.

through ffty-seven ballots, to secure the nomi-
nation for themselves on the very platform up
on which Douglas now stands. And if one of
them had succeeded, every Breckenridge speaker
and paper in the State would now be earnestly
supporting him, and swearing that the platform
was all that could be asked, and that any man
who did not endorse it was "a id Black Re.

A BIT OF EARLY CALIFORNIA HIsToRY.-Mr.
Peachy, IN his argument in the New Almaden
case, recited an interesting little bit of the early
history of California. He stated that in 1888.
Don Andreas Castillero was sent to California
from the city of Mexico, with instructions to
take charge of certain military forces, and with
arequestto to settle quarrel between CarilIy and
Alyarado, who then kept the Territory in con-
dition OF civil war by a struggle for the Cover
norship As means of eifectng such a settle
ment, the Mexican President gave to Castilero
two orders, one instructing the Governor of
California to grant any island on the coast to
Alvarado, the other, Il similar order, in favor of
GARLIC, and Castillera was to present one order
and destroy the other, at his discretion-the
grant to be made to the one who gave way. The
result was that Garlic got the island of Santa
Rosa, of Santa Barbara, and Alvarado was Gov
ernor in peace.-Aha

but Uncle Billy Gwin and Gov Weller are

ion that nobody else in this State but Uncle
Billy Gwin and Gov. Weller have right to be

rial vacancy is about to occnr

Breckenridge In 1856 and Breckinridp
in 1850.

Now, in 1860, John C. Breckinridpe stands as
the candidate of men who have declared, by re-
solution adopted in the U. S. Senate. that il is
the bounden duty of Congress-in the event that
the Territorial Legislatures fail to pass local
laws for the protection of slave propertv or
pass laws untavorable to that sort of property
to furnish uch..Territory with slave code, !"
or, in other words, with code of laws that
VIII elfectually protect slavery in the Territories.
In 1886, when running for the Vice Presiden-
cy' he thought with all Democrats, and as all
unchanged Democrats yet think, that whether
the settlement of the slavery question rightly
belonged to the people of the Territory or not.
the particular plank in the Cincinnati Platform
which pledged the Democratic party to "non-
interference, by Congress, with slavery in State
Territory, and in the District of Columbia. was
eminently judicious and wise, and worthy OF
all praise. In reply to the congratulations OF
the people of Lexington, after hearing of his
nomination, he uttered sentiments on this par
tlcular question precisely similar to those then
held by the greater portion of the Democratic
party, and now proclaimed with astonishing
eloquence and unequalled ability by Douglass
Here are his words:
The whole power of the Democratic orrani-
zation is pledged to the following propositions
1hdt Congress shat not intervene on this subject
Slavery In the States, in the Territories, or in
the District OF Columbia; that the people Of each
1erraory shall determine the question for them
selves"

Day OF THANKsGIvING.-GovD Downey has ap-
pointed Thursday, the 29th of November, as a
day. of thanksgiving; to our Heavenly Father
for his manifold blessings. We quote the fol-
lowing portion of the proclamation-a docu-
ment, by the way, which reflects great credit
both upon the head and heart of its author:
And | invite and urge them on that day to
cease from their ordinary avocations, to assem-
BILE in their houses of worship and render un-
leigned thanks and praise that the seed time
and harvest have returned to us that the earth
has yielded SO bountifuly its increase; that
peace, and prosperity, and health have prevailed
within our border, and that the blessings of
civil liberty, and all the sacred privileges of ed
ucatlon, freedom of conscience, and holy reli-
gion continue to be the birthright of the hum
biest in the land. Let it be day, too, of gen.
erous deeds, when plenty shall give of its
abundance when the poor shall be remember
ed, the sick, the widow and the orphan visited,
and when by kind offices and rational fellow
ship, all the bonds of genial and charitable
social life shall be multiplied and strengthened
And while thus gratefully remembering the past
and improving the present, let us implore the
Divine blessing that the earth fail not in its
generous returns that neither pestilence nor
civil discord, nor foreign to afflict US :;
that the Union our fathers established may be
preserved to US, and throughout the length and
breadth of the land We may be a law-abiding
God-fearing people, illustrating to the world the
righteousness which exalteth nation.

SUPPosTSG CAsE.-Suppose Mr.. Buchanan
and Mr.. Breckenridge in 1856 had not told the
people of the United States that their doctrine
was, that if they wanted savery they could have
1t, but If they did not want it they should be
forced to have it how many votes would they
have got?-Stephen 4. Douglas at Rocky Point,
Again; Suppose that Douglas, in 1856, when
Buchanan was candidate for tho Presidency
had, as Buchanan is now doing, worked to ac-
complish the defeat of the regular Democratic
candidate; or suppose that he had even refrain
ed from doing anything either for or against old
Buck, would he now have it in his power, by
turning traitor to his party, to convert his name
into synonyme for all that is traitorous and
ungrateful? Would he have been elected ? No
Every intelligent man knows that Buchanan is
indebted to Douglas for both his nomination and
election

The Sewing Machine.
BY A CONNECTICUT YANKEE.

" Got one? Don't,ay SO! Which did you get,
One ,oftbe kind to open and shet2
Own it, or hire t2 How much did you nav?
Does 1t 20 with II crank or treadIe? Say,
m single man, and somewhat green,
Tell NE about your sewing machine"
Listen, my boy, and hear ali about it
/ don't know what | should do without it.
I've owned one now for more than a year.
And like it so well call it "my dear"
lis the cleyerest thing that ever was seen.
This wonderful family sewing machine.
It's none of your singular Singer things,
With steel-shod beak and cast-ron wings.
Its work would bother hundred of his
And Is worth thousand Indeed it is
And has way-you needn't stare
vi comoing and braiding its own black hairI
Nine is not one of your stupid affairs
mat stands In corner with wlatnots and
chairs,
And makes that dismal, headaehy noise.
Which all the comfort of sewing DESTROYS
No rigid contrivance of lumber and steel
But one with natural spring in the heel.
Mine is one of the kind to love,
And wears shawl and soft kid glove
Has the merreSt eyes and dainty foot
And sports the charmingest gaiter boot,
Anu bonnet with feathers, aid ribbons and
loops
With any indefinite number of hoops.
None of your patent machines for me,
Unless Dame. Natures the patentee
like the sort that can laugh and talk
And take my arm for an evening walk
That will do whatever the owner NAV choose
With the slightest perceptible turn of the screws,
One that can dance, and-possibly
And make pudding well as :, shirt;
One that can sing without dropping stitch
And play the housewife, lady or witch
Ready to give the sagest advice
Or do up your collar and things so nice.
| What doyou think of my machine?
Amt it the best that ever was seen?
Ilsn,t clumsy, mechanical toy,
| But flesh and blood Hear that my boyi
with turn for gossip, and household affairs.
Which include, you know, the sewing of tares
Tut tut-don't talk. see it all
You needn't keep working SO hard at tha wall
know what your fdgety fi.mblings mean,
Would you like, yourself, a sewing machine?
Well get one then-of the same design
There was plenty left when got mine.

WHAT They SAY.-Breckinridge saws ::

WHAT They SAY.-Breckinridpe says:
Let Congress intervene to PROTECT slavery
in the Territories"
Lincoln says:
." Let Congress intervene to PROHIBIT slavery
in the Territories.
And Douglas says
Let the PEoPLE'of the Territories determine
the question for themselves, under the Constitu
tion-for the Democratic party stands pledged to
the doctrine of tnon- interference with slavery
IN State, Territory, and the District of Column
bia"
Let the reader choose which Of these dopmas
be prefers, and then vote accordingly. If he
believe in the great American doctrine, that the
people have the right and the ability to govern
themselves, he will support Douglas.

BITTER DIsAPPoISTMEYT.-Campb the poet,
like all travellers through this vale of tears, suf-

ships. But the one related by his biographer,
as follows, " claps the climax"
Hating once at an inn in Haddington, be was
much struck with the charms of the chamber
maid. He fell asleep soon after he was in bed
to dream of her beauty, when he was awoke by
the girl herself, standing by the bedside with a
candle in her hand, and somewhat of an en-
barrassed air. Sir, would you object to a
bedfellow ?" she questioned him with hesitat-
ing voice. Supposng she alluded to herself, he
declared how he should be delighted "Oh,
sir, am so glad" she replied. There is a
drunken Brummagem rider below who wants a
bed, and have been SO bold as to ask whether
you'd let him turn in with you for nobody
have yet asked will hear of the man."

Since the late news from Pennsylvania the
Republicans think they have got dead thing

growing cheerily. Every one of the captains
and lieutenants, and not a few of the thigh

have made their "peace, calling and election"

it was related, by an unknown exchange, that
he was seen coming at a tearing rate round the
corner with his rags futtering in the wind, his
face smeared with molasses, a shingle flourish
ing in his hand, and Justify shouting to another
boy, about the size of pepper-box, who stood
nearly quarter of mile down the street =" 0

FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER u, 1850.

Uncle Timothy and his sister, the ancient widow,
now come in; all the parties are together for the
the first time; Perkins confesses; Pinehbeck is
confused, is found out, and leaves in disgrace;
plantations are made all round; Mrs. Savage is so
happy to know that her husband had only done

to do friendship is renewed healthy circua-
ton Of the blood is established in both families;
masks are dropped; happiness settles upon all,
and all acknowledge the folly Of " Playing with
Fire.
1t is impossible to do full justice to Jordan's rem
dition of the catalogue of agonies which render
Dr.. Sauage the hero of the piece. 1t is capital !;
the best thing we ever saw him in. Leffngwell's
Wooerly was in many Of the scenes admirable
Miss Thompson's Mrs. Waper7y is very good,
though it might be given with little more spirit
in some Of the situations. Mrs. Leighton's Mrs.
8audge is good and funny enough. Mark
Smiths Uncle Timothy and Mrs. Chapman's IYidow
Crabstick are equal in humor and excellent acting
to anything in that line yet seen in this region.
Davenport's Piachbecb is the very soul of hHInor-
Gus deviltry; the character would seem to have
been created for him. Fannie Browns Perkins Is
lively, and altogether delicious.
Our foregoing sketch does not include a fourth
of the funny scenes and incidents of this lengthy
but fascinating and really comical comedy. None
but an experienced playwright like John Brough-
am could ever have dreamt of such a ridiculous
web of mistakes and cross-purposes. If, regards
its lack of probability as picture of anything
sible in real life, or regards its rank as comedy
there should be any objection to rating it as fully
up to the mark Of what is called genteel comedy p
it must still be admitted that it is as good thing
