These figures show that Douglas is the repre-
sentative man and exponent of the principles
OF nearly twothirds OF the Democratic party,
according th the vote at the Presidential elee-
ton in 1856. The vote Of Minnesota and Ore.
gon is taken from the returns of 1859, those
States having been admitted since 1856, and
the full vote OF South Carolina is estimated. as
the Presidential Electors are appointed by the
Legislature Of that State.
The Democratic party has decided by its rep
resentatiyes in National Convention against
Congressional protection for slave property in
the Territories, and i! remains to be seen
whether the advocates OF that doctrine submit
to the will of the majority, or whether they per-
sist in carrying out the secession programme
inaugurated at Charleston.

CALIFORNIA Practice Acr.--We have received
from the publishers, Messrs. Fl. II. Bancroft a
Co., of San Franciseo, book containing the
act to regulate proceedings in civil cases in
courts of justice in this State, passed in 1851,
and the several amendments thereto, with notes
and Annotations by Henry ]. Labatt. counselor
at law. The book is neatly printed, contains
366 pages, law size, is substantially bound in
sheep, and is for sale by II. H. Wickes & Co.,
Broad street, Nevada. 1t is useful work for
county and township officers, aud convenient
for the profession.

STAGE RoBBRRIEs.-The San Francisco Spirit
of the Times in abiding to the alarming frequency
of robbing treasure boxes from the stages, says:
authorities, to prevent far they possibly can
recurrance of these highway robberies ard bring the
perpetrators to justice 1t will be absolutely neces-
sary to establish and maintain mounted police
for the protection Of life and property, otherwise
lines of travel might as well be abolished. 1t is not
to be expected that under such circumstances as
those which occurred at Chico, that either driver or
passengers viii! risk their lives in defense of the
property Of any corporation. In nine cases out OF
ten at the present time, passengers do not carry
arms, and the imprudent use of one shot in the
hands of an inexperienced party would insure the
destruction of the whole. 1-lrs.L

AFFAIR OF H0NoR.--For the past few days an
affair Of honor has been on the taps between
J. B. Van Hagan, Captain Of the Nevada Rifles,
and r. d. Moyes, member OF the company
The difficulty originated In Washoe 1t ap.
pears that while the company was in active
service, Moyes had broken open box, contain
ing come tobacco, which belonged TO some other
company, but had been left 10 charge Of the Ri
fies, and for this be was reprimanded by Van
Hagan. After the company had returned to
Nevada, Moyes accused Van Hagan OF COW.
srdce. The parties had some words on Satur-
day afternoon, a challenge was sent by Meyes
the next day, and on Monday forenoon the prin-
eipais, with their friends, left for Camptonville
to settle the affair according to the require
ments Of the code" John Weber aud ii. b.
Thompson acted as the friends Of Van Hagan,
and S. Il. Brown, - Reed and Kepner Carnss
we're the friends OF Moyes. The meeting was

Camptonville, yesterday morning, and twenty
persons besides those immediately interested,
had gone FROM Nevada to witness the affair."
Frsm some cause the meeting did not take
place. and many Of those who went as spec.
tators have returned. We have not been able
to learn whether the affair was settled or only
postponed, but 1t was the general impression
Yesterday afternoon that an amcable arrange
ment had been effected
p. S.-A dispatch was received here this
morning, stating that the parties had been ar
rested aud taken TO San Juan.

DEMOCRACY THEN AND Now.-Mr. Douglas, in
his late speech in the Senate referring to theattept
Of Buchanan, Davis, Slidell, Gwin & Co., to read
him out Of the party, said:
l accede to the Executive branch Of the govern
Inent freedom Of thought and action in the perform
ance of its functions. But when it comes to voting
on a measure, am as independent of him as he is
of me, and he has more right to tell me how
shall vote than have to tell him what he shall
ommiend, or whether he shall sign or veto bill.
Whenever recognize the President, be he who he
may, as the head Of my party, that tell me how
to vote in this chamber, then disgrace and degrade
the sovereignty Of that State which sent me here.
Republics nominal and sham unless the rep
resentatyes Of the people and the States in
dependent of the Executive as he is Of them. do
not plead guilty. therefore, to the Impeachment that
am outside of the Democratic organization, or ey-
er ] appeal from this test as a Presidential
ediet to the Grand Council of the party ITSELF the
National Convention. Judging by their test am
inside, and every man who is willing to fight under
the old flag of 1852 is inside with me. Every man
who demands no new test is inside, and only those
boilers and seceders who reject the platform and
try to break up the organization because the party
Will not now abandon its time honored principles,
and take up those which it has uniformly reject
ed for so many years. The Senator (Davis) loves
the party, but loves to have the party agree with
him, and then he will fight for it. wish him to
bear IN mind that the party never did endorse this
new article of faith which he is threatning to
to the disruption Of the party, unless it can be
adopted The party rejected it in l84S, secuted in
1852, denounced it in 1856, and again in 1890 The
party stands with its old flag, under its old organi
zation, proclaiming its time honored creed, making
no variations whatever and that is held to be sufi
cient to disrupt the only party that is adequate to
the preservation of the Union. The only question
is, wneCner II Is better to have Democratic Admin
istration on the same platform that brought Mr..
Buchanan into power or dissolve the Union Now
sir, if this platform fearfuIly bad so vicious
SO fatal to Southern interests, and destructive Of
southern rights, how happened it that every man Of
you Endorsed it in 1856 {? Did not you know what
your rights were' Were you less devoted to the in
terests and honor of your States than now? How
happened it that every delegate voted for it then, if
it is sufficient cause for disruption now

CeULDS'r BE BoUoHr-A dispatch from Wash
ngton says that some Interesting developments
have lately been brought out by the Coyode
Investigating Committee. 1t appears that At
torney General Black was deputed by the Pres
ident to offer the Post Office printing to Col.
Foruey. on condition that he would change his
course on the Kansas policy Of the Adminstra-
ton; but the offer was refused. The profits OF
that printing amount to $50, 900 a year. aud
the money is now used to keep up number OF
Administration papers in Pennsylvania.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AT BALTIMORE.
On Monday last, the Democratic National
Convention was to have met at Baltimore. The
preliminary organization having been effected
at Charleston, and the platform adopted, the
Convention will have nothing to do but exam
inc the certificates OF the delegates elected in
place OF the scceders, admit them to their seats
and ballot for candidate for President. As
the places Of the seccders are likely to be filled
by the friends Of Douglas, there is not much
doubt that he will be nominated on the FIRST bal
lot. Should the Pony Express be established
we may look for the result! in California by the
I'd of July ; but il We have to wait for the news
until it arrives by the overland mail. it will not
reach California before the 10th or 18th of next
month.

THE EMnRA1D-rhc emerald depends for it

THE EMERALD.-Thc emerald depends for its
value upon sizc fine color, and vivid lustre. Aspe-
cimen which possesses these qualities in perfection
is fitted for in the most expensive kinds of jew
elry. The price of this gem has been reduced by
the product of the mines of Peru, but good speci-
command high values, and the rates have late
ly increased. An emerald of four grains sells for
about S20 one of sixteen grains, for $500; and one
of fOrtycight grains for 81 900. The gem is easily
initiated, and it is sometimes difficult to distinguish
the genuine from the false.

THE LANE AND GwN CoNsPmAoY.-The fol-
lowing is the dispatch sent by Senator Joe Lane
to the Oregon delegates, advising them to
leave the Charleston Convention. lis taken
from tho Washington Star, paper that sup
ports every administration that happens to be in
power, and OF course is now friendly to Lane

ccved. Stand by the equality OF States, and
STAND by those States that STAND by the Con-
stitutional rights of all. BY all means 60 with
them-go out aud STAND by them.
JOE LANE"
A dispatch Of similar purport, was sent by
Gwin to the California delegates, and it was
probably owing to the refusal of Major Bidwell
to obey the order, that the delegates from the
Pacific States concluded not to leave. This is
what Austin T. Smith, California delegate
referred to in bis speech when he denounced
Bidwell as a "bOck sheep" 1t is openly charg-
ed by Washington correspondents that Gwin
and Lane have entered into a conspiracy with
Southern Congressman to break up the Demo-
cratic organization, asa preliminary step to
breaking up the Union, out of which three re-
publics are to be formcd-tho States east to be
divided on the line Of the free and Slave States,
forming two governments, and the Pacific slope
to constitute the third. But the dream Of these
political gamesers will not be accomplished, in
their lifetime at least, Even in the event that
a secession movement should take place in the
test comes, will remain true TO the Union.
