The Nevada Democrat., 1860-10-27
Nerada Semufrat.
LOCAL MATTERS.

made a speech at the Nevada Theater yester-
day evening. We dropped in during the fore
part of the evening, and found the Theater toll
erably well filled-the audience being mix
ture of Breckinridgers, Lincolnites, Belleveretts
and Democrats-the latter, we should judge,
being the most numerous. As we entered the
Theater, the Colonel was lauding the Demo-
cratic party; he spoke of its immutable princi-
pies, and of the many benefits it had been to
the country, with as much assurance as though
he had belonged to the party for ten or twelve
years. Like great many other new converts,
however, he has mistaken Buchananism for
Democracy. He endeavored to prove, in his
peculiar style of logic, that Douglas was not
the regular nominee of the Democratic party;
and having established this fact to his own sat-
isfaction, he informed his auditors that he
would not have supported Douglas had he re-
ceiyed every vote in the Convention. He said
that the principles of the Black Republicans
were more conservative than the principles of
the Douglas Democracy and that as between
Douglas and Lincoln his choice would be Lin
principally drawn from Jewish and Roman his
tory, and his speech was in the forid, spread
eagle style, and not particularly calculated to
make converts.
