The following interesting and cheering dis
patch has arrived by the Pony Express:
SAN FEANclsco, Aug, 20, 1860
We will carry this State by decisive ma
jority. The democracy are rallying around
our banner from San Diego to Liskyou. The
contest will be warm, but there is no
doubt of the result. The detection in our
party is confined to the leaders, and scarcely
touches the masses
Very truly yours.
WM. NJ. GwIN.
Hon. |. |. STEVENS, Chairman, DC.
Interesting and cheering dispatch" di-
rected to |. l. Stevens, the reliable, and signed
Ly VIM. NJ. Gwin! Stevens sends to Gwin
and Gwin sends to Stevens Delightful re-
ciprocity. Stevens telegraphed to Gwin that
Pennsylvania would go for Foster "our can
ddate for Governor. by we forget how
many thousand majority. And she didn't go
for him at all. He telegraphed also that the
tide was running strong for Breckinridge"-
and that was not so, either. He also prom
ised to send cheering intelligence" by every
pony. Stevens is kind of prophet, and the
only thing lacking in his character as a
prophet is that his prophecies don't come
true. His facts are no better. The tide is
not running strong" for Breckenridge. Penn
sylvania did not go for Foster, and he can't
send any cheering intelligence" for the
Breckenridge party by erery pony, or by
any pony.
But, Gwn is not going to be outdone by
Stevens, and so he prophetically informs that
distinguished individual that 1--WE, (Wm. NJ.
Gwin,) will carry this State, California; by a
decisive majority" "The Democracy are
rallying,' as the Constitution newspaper
prints it, "around our banner from San Diego
to LiSkyom The Washington Buchanan organ
knows as much about California in general as
it does about siskiyou (Liskyou , in particu-
lar, and its informant, VIM. NJ. Gwin, is in
the same category. He will find Siskiyou a
sore pill for him to swallow, and many an
other county like it.
"The detection in our party" says Gwin
"is confined to the leaders, and scarcely
touches the Masses" He acknowledges that
the leaders of the Democracy are with the
Douglas and Johnson party. If the leaders
are there, will not the masses be there also
If the masses do not go there, it shows that
the men called leaders are not leaders. But,
we all have leaders, and we are proud to
follow them. 1t is mark of our own in
telligence that we do so, for it shows the
ability to comprehend those principles which
our leaders advocate. Those men who ridi-
cule the followers of Stephen A. Douglas, for
ralying around his standard, are themselves
led by VIM. ii. Seward or VIM. L. Yancey.
And those who accuse those Democrats who
follow the Douglas banner in this State, of
being led by such men as Gov. Downey and
j. w. Denver and Joe Hoge and Gen. Nc
Dougall, are themselves led by man whom
they were once ashamed to acknowledge but
now are compelled to acknowledge, to wit :
VIM. NJ Gwin,. of Mississippi, and prospective
ly of Texas
1t is true, that the majority of the leaders
of the Democracy in this State, are with
Douglas and Johnson, and we believe the
majority of the people are the same way not
simply because the leaders are, but because
they have sense enough to comprehend the
justice Of the principles which those leaders
advocate.
