THE RELIABLE MAN.-Both the Republicans
and the Secessonists rely upon the traitor
Hickman, for material with which to villify,
sander and traduce Douglas. They say that
Hickman acted with Douglas in his efforts
against the Lecompton Constitution, knew
him well and all his plans and motives, and
therefore he is TO be relied on in his state
ments regarding Mr. Douglass character, his
tory and opinions. They love to quote him
to show that Mr.. Douglas is not the true man
that he is represented TO be, and that he cam
not be trusted by his friends. Well, q man
who pretends to turn informer against his
friends and to betray the secrets of his party
may be relied on or may not. So much fol
that. But, since Mr.. Hickman is such gooC
authority for the Secessionsts, let us see how
he sustains their charge that Douglas is al
enemy to the South and Free Soiler. Hick
man emphatically says in his much quoted
speech denouncing Douglas, that the NOrH
can't trust Douglas at all that he is with the
South in all his feelings and sympathies, and
that everything he can do for the advance
ment of slavery he will do
Now, if Hickman is such admirable au,
thority for these Breckinrdgers, let them
pick that bone.

MARArosA CouNTY.-We have been permit.
ted. says the Nation, to read a private letter
from Mariposa, written 10y prominent old
line Democrat, on the 2Sd inst, in which the
following language occurs: "We were all, |
think, convinced that Douglas would carry
this county, before you left. At this day
there is no doubt about the matter" The
letter also states that one who has counted
the noses, and can be relied upon says that
in four precincts near each other, only three
Breckenridge men could be found. The four
precincts poll about three hundred votes
The few Breckenridge men about the county
seat are represented as being very melancholy
and retiring. Maraposa is all right

GOVERNOR DowNEY AT FoLsoM.-We are
indebted to Moneys Express, extra, says the

evening last, at which Governor Downey

pears, in company with a friend, Judge Ord,
visited Folsom on private business But the
Douglas primary election was going on, and
the Democrats of that persuasion were out in
force. P. j. Hopper introduced the Governor,
who delivered one of his characteristic speech
es, indicating correctness, independence and
decision of character in high degree. He
of course advocated the cause of Douglas
The meeting was afterwards addressed by F.
j. Hopper, Judge Ord and Mr., Mooney.

Daily national Democrat., 1860-08-29
How they Attack him.

It is earious to observe how persistently
Mr. Douglas is attacked 10y the two sectional
parties Of the country, the Breckinridgers
and the Lincolnites. The Breckiuridgers say
that Douglas is unsafe for the South, an cue
my of its Institutions aud at heart free
soiler. The Republicans denounce him as a
base trucker to the South, a man who has no
moral feeling about slavery at all, and who
publicly avovs his Difference to the Supreme
Court of the United States, when he knows
that the Court will pronounce in favor OF
slavery at every opportunity that it gets
The Breckinridgers abuse him as an enemy OF
the South, and the Republicans abuse him as
a friend Of the South. They agree in abusing
! him, but differ in their manner of it. 1t can
not be that both are right. 1t is hardly pos
sible that he can be friend aad an enemy OF
the South, both, at the same time The truth
! il. he is friend Of the Union and an enemy
to no section of our common country. He is
for the rights of all, and therefore he is de-
nounced by those who are sectional in their
views and feelings, and who imagine that
every body who is not ciM them in all their
gangrene prejudices is against them
To the Southern men who oppose Douglas,
We would say-The Abolitionists and the
Republicans vilify him beyond measure.
Consequently, he cannot be with them. And
to the Republicans and Aboltionsts we would
say-The Southern Fire Eaters and Seces.
sionists denounce him without stint conse-
quently he cannot be with them. But, to the
lovers of the Union We would say-Both the
sectional parties of the country hate Douglas,
therefore he must be with you
Is it not demonstrated that Douglas be-
longs to neither sectional party Of the coun-
try ?

by Mr. Donovan himself, there being no such
springs accessible in the country The wood
work which is complete and bearing an ex.
quisite polish, was done by Mr.. A. j. Latin
The trimming, on the inside, of white satin
with silk fringe, was the work of Mr.. F. P. Os-
good, The sockets on the outside are very ell.

wheels move upon the axles with the smooth
ness of oil, and there is not jar in any mo-
tion Of the vehicle We were surprised to
see so finished a piece Of work gotten up in

ted also that private letters had been receiv-
ed here justifying the attempted deed and
denominatng Castillo as a tyrant. Iester.
day, we were permitted by Mr.. Eldridge to
see a letter from his father at Lima, in which
the old gentleman expresses great regard for
President Castillo and strongly denounces his
attempted assassination; at the same time
declaring his full conviction that his son could
not have been guilty of the act, and that his
innOcense would appear. According TO the old
gentlemdn's letter, Castillo is anything but a
tyrant. On the contrary he is spoken of as
patriot and a benefactor to his country.

JoHN 9. CALHouN.-The advocates of Con.

Never was there more baseess assumption.
John {. Calhoun's policy was that of Non
Intervention. As early as 1877, in his
speeches in the Senate, he declared that the
question OF slavery should be left to the Ter
ritories and that the extent of their power
should be adjudged by the judicial tribunals
This is all that Douglas contends for to-day.
