Nor RATIFIED.-At a Douglas Ratification
meeting in Sacramento, on Tuesday evening,
the crowd of four hundred was addressed
by Coughfroth. Billy Long, Frank Hereford,
y. Greene Curtis and Gov. Downey. The
Breckenridge element being found decidedly
strong towards the last, the gas was turned
off to prevent one of the latter stripe of or
ators from speaking, and the Douglastes
dispersed without ratifying the nomination
of their chief

, CoLD CoMFoRr.-The Douglas men are
trying to comfort themselves with the hope
that Breckenridge will not accept the nom

troubled with wish or hope tilat Fitzpat-
rick will not accept a nom nation on plat
form which they know he sbhors. Therein
thsy pay compliment 10 Breckenridge,

TIE Union says the Republicans know
very well that with Breckenridge and the
Administration out of the way Douglas
would carry every Southern State by sweep
ing majorities." About as near the truth as
the Union ever gets politically, yet very far
from it. There has not been nor is there q
doubt with fair minded men that Tennessee
and Maryland have been sure for Bell and
Everett from the start, with fair show for
Virginia and North Carolina. As the case
now stands We count on all these States for
Bell and Everett.

BAREFAcRp.-The aPgcndage Of Pacific
Railroad resolution TO the Breckenridge
Platform, is one of the raost baretaced i'm
positions ever attempted 70 be practiscd on
she people OF this State. It was probably
done at the instigation of the seeding del
egates from California in the hope OF carry
ing this State thereby. But e'.ry body
knows that lour-fiths of he delegates in
that Convention and the States they repre-
cent, are bitterly hostile 10 Pacific Rail-
road Such duplic;ty is most execrable.-
And yet this is mt all that is reprehensible,
found in that Platform. 1t afiirms the right
O: foreign born citizens to protection abroad
m like manner as native born American.
For any other but the Administration to
declare such doctrine, may. be well enough,
but when we take into consideration the
position assumed b. the Administration a
year ago on this question. We must conclude
the appearance of an opposite doctrine in
the Platform IF the party at the present time
is only evidence of the rankest demagogism
aad hypocrisy.

Be Kind to the Aged.

Age when whitened for the tomb is an
object of sublimity. The passions have
ceased-hopes of self have ceased. They
linger with the young, they pray for the
young, while their spirits are looking be-
yond the grave-and oh! how careful
should the young be to reward the aged
with their fresh, warm hearts, to dimin-
ish the chill of ebbing life. The Spar
tans looked upon respect for old age as
a beautiful trait of character. Be kind
to those who are in the autum of life, for
thou knowest not what suffering they
may have endured, or how much of it
may still be their portion. Do they
seem unreasonable and disposed to find
fault or murmur? Allow not thine
anger to kindle against them; rebuke
them not, for doubtless many have been
the crosses and trials of earlier years,
and perhaps their dispositions, while in
the spring time of life, were more fexi-
BILE than thine own. Do they require
aid of thee? Then render it cheerfully.
forget not that the time may come when
thou mayest desire the same assistance
from others, that thou renderest unto
them. Do all that is needful for the old
and do it with alacrity, and think it is
not hard if much is required at thy hand:
lest when age sets its seal on thy brow
and fills thy limbs with trembling, others
may wait unwillingly, and feel relieved
when the coffin lid has closed over thy
face forever.

Old Maids.

Old Matds.
In his New Years sermon, Henry
Ward Beecher paid the following tribute
to Old Maids: Il have no sympathy
with that rude. unfeeling and indelicate
phrase old maid, which is banded about
the mouths of rude, unfeeling and in
delicate persons. It is true, that self
ish nature, cut off from all duties and
ties, and sinking back il to solitary life
Of selfish heart, becomes most unlovely
and useless. But shall the few cloud
the true nobleness of the many? How
many elder sisters, it may be unblessed
with outward comeliness, have entered
into brothers or sisters family, and
accepted all it's cares as the duty Of their
life, and joining hands with the mother,
given to each child, as it were, two souls
Of love, like two wings of God, to help
it fly up withal from weakness and igno-
rance to manhood and strength! How
many have cheerfully given up their one
whole life, built no nest, sought no COM
panion, but sang in the tree near the
younglings Of another's nest, patient in
toll, watchful and laborious in sickness,
frugal amid poverty, rich in nothing but
good works, and in these abandoning in
wealth! When the roll is read above,
and they are named that lived in self
sacrifice, in gentleness, in patience, in
love, and in the only triumph of disin-
terested mercy, they who are unmarried
and childless, that they might more he
roically serve the households of others,
and become mothers of children not
their own, shall stand high and bright. -"

Punning ON a Serious Matter.

While the Pryor4Potter controversy
was going on in Washington, vote of
the House was called upon some minor
matters. When Mr.. Potter's name was
called, an cid Dutch member from Penn
sylvania, who never takes up the time
unless he has something to say to the
point, rose in his place and excused Mr..
Potter thus: "Misther Spheaker, I will
shust say as how Misther Potter hash
Prior engagement"
Both sides of the House and the GAL
leries united in an uproarious explosion
of mirth at the Hon. members sally of
wit, and it was only checked to be re-
doubled, when, after the name of Mr..
Pryor was called, the same old Hans
arose and said: ''Vell, Misther Spheaker,
Misther Pryor hash gone to pc ash clay
in te hands of te Potter"
For some moments the scene in the
House was indescribable, ard, for once,
five pound Bowie knives and shotted
rifles were at discount

"Dissolving Views.

The approach to Presidential Flee
ton which threatens to overthrow Pro-
slavery misrule, is the signal for howl
about dissolvng the Union. Even the
election of Mr. Banks as Speaker of the
House of Representatives was to have
'dissolved the Union,' though, when
accomplished, the threats instead of the
Union ''dissolved.' Earlier, the admis-
sion of California free was certain to
dissolve the Union Messrs. Toombs,
Stevens and Clingtnan went personally
to inform Gen. Taylor that the fate of
the Union was suspended by that cord
We saw the Old Soldier President ten
minutes after these Fire-eaters left him.
He had informed them, in reply, that if
Congress passed the bill admitting Cali
fornia into the Union with Free Con-
stitution, he should sign it-and that
the Union would be preserved during his
term of Office The veteran felt as warmly
and spoke as Indignantly as Gen. Jack
son is represented to have felt and
spoken when Mr. Calhoun and his Fire
eaters threatened to "dissolye the
Union"
In 1856, when the aggression and
abuses of the Federal Administration
united the American people against the
Pro-slavery Democracy, and when the
election of a Republican President
seemed probable, we had another rehear
sal of the Dissolution Drama Then
Slavery representatives and journals
threatened to dissolve the Union-and
then Northern Dougfaces responded ap-
provingly to such threats.
And now, weary Of misgovernment
and loathing sham m-democracy, the peo-
pie having regenerated States enough to
elect Republican President, the key
note of Disunion is again sounded
But those who have profted so often by
threatening to "dissolve the Union, -
may cry ''wolf too often. The dissolu-
ton dodge is about played out. III

IN A VAULT EIGHTEEN
YEARS,

A newspaper published at Coloma,
Mexico, on the 9th of October, tells
the following frightful story, and calls
upon the public to punish the criminals:
When Gen. Pueblita entered the town
of Ago, in September last, he exacted Il
forced loan from the people, and share
of it fell upon the curate of the place
The curate acted as though he would
pay, but he did not make his appear
ance at the point designated for pay
ment, and Gen. Pueblita ordered him to
be arrested. A party of men went to
his dwelling and knocked at the door.
There was no answer, and they broke
in. They found no one in the house,
and were about to leave it, when they
heard a frightful voice, proceeding from
the ground, saying II am hungry!"-
The officer in command went back to
Gen. Pueblita, and told him about the
voice, The Gen. appointed a commits
sioner to examine the house This com
mission went to the curate's dwelling,
and after a careful examination they
found a movable stone in the floor, and
under this was a stairway leading down
to vault, which was entirely dark, and
had no connection with the air, save the
staircase, and small hole that served as
a ventilator.
In this vault they found some books,
a few articles of furniture, and a woman
who had been shut up there for eighteen
years. She was AIKEN to Gen. Pueblita's
quarters. When brought into the light,
where she saw number of persons, she
tainted. After she had returned to her
senses, thousand questions were asked
of her, to which she replied only that
she had been buried in the vault for
eighteen years, without going out for
moment; that she had been married, and
had children by her husband, but she
knew nothing of their fate; that while
imprisoned in the vault, she had chill
dren by the curate, she knew nothing of
what had become of these children, and
after saying this much, she became OBJ
stinately silent While this was passing,
a sergeant of the Pubelita Brigade then
present, discovered that this woman was
his mother, and she recognized him as
her son and embraced him. The son
then ran for his father who came and
recognized his wife. The husband,
fifteen years ago, was imprisoned three
years under charge of having murdered
his wife-this woman.

The Southern Conference.
The Richmond Enquirer says:

IHE hIVHWUHU LItYN9fs7' says:
The Southern Conference will meet,
with or without Virginia, on the 4th
day of July, 1860, at the city of Atlanta.
The Charleston nomination will have
been made, and the conference will be
liable to consider the prospect of politica!
parties, as well as discuss questions Of
political power. Virginia, by an act OF
fatal folly, may have no voice in that
conference to persuade its members, no
influence to control its deliberation, but
the cotton States, acting for themselves,
and by themselves, will most certainly
meet. To what decision they will come,
no earthly power can say.
