California.

We have before us our California file Of pa
pers. The nomination of Breckenridge and
Lane was everywhere received with the great
est enthusiasm BY the regular Democracy OF
the State. Douglas is endorsed only by the
factious Broderickites, who constitute but a
small portion Of the voters of the State.
The State Central Committee met on the
thirtieth, and by vote of 26 to 10 endorsed
the domination of Breckenridge and Lane
Meetings have been held in every part of the
State, and the action Of the Committee is
heartily endorsed. The meeting in San Fran
cisco was tremendous demonstration. Ex
Governor Weller has taken the stump for
Breckenridge and Lane, and iscarrying every.
thing before him.
Breckinridge will carry the State by as large
q majority as did Latham last year, when the
vote stood as follows
Latham (Breckinridge). -. 1925
Currey douglas and Bell. ......8l. .289 Z
Stanford (Lincoln) )........-.... .1o,llo
Latham over Curry. 49,. -. ..3o957
Latham over both 3o,847 9
The indications are that the result Of the
Presidential election will be about the same as
the Gubernatorial election last year. Breck-
inridge viii have 10000 majority over Doug,
las Bell and Lincoln combined. asees &'fsiss

Gone Over to the Enemy.


There can no longer be any doubt, remarks
the Baltimore Republican, as to the designs o
Mr. Douglas and his leaders. Their intention
10 break up the Democratic party stands oui
boldly in all their actions. The Miles Taylor
circular, issued directly after his nomination,
shadowed forth the intentions of the squatter
sovereign, which are being carried out through
ont the country-no union with Breckenridge
Democrats, but rather union with Know
nothing or Abolitionists, whichever may be
most conducive to the destruction of the Dem
ocratic party. This is the programme OF MIR.
Douglas, who, if he cannot rule, is determined
to ruin. 1t is with sorrow VIC express these
views, and nothing but the strong and self
condemning facts presented by the parties
themselves could have made US believe in this
traitorous scheme of Judge Douglas and his
friends. But the facts show them everywhere
coalescing with the enemies of Democracy,
either by an open coalition or by professedly
independent course when that will best serve
their purpose of enmity and injury to the De-
mocracy.
Most reluctantly are we forced to the con-
clusion that disappointed ambition has so ope-
rated upon the mind of Judge Douglas, that he
is deliberately planning and pursuing pur-
pose intended to dissever and defeat the DEM
ocratic party. There can be no doubt of the
fusion with the old Know.nothing party in
Kentucky-that is openly acknowledged by
the Douglas papers, and thanks returned for
it by the Know nothing candidate elect. In
New York there is an open union between
the Douglas and Know nothing parties, and a
Joint ticket of Douglas men and Know-noth- |
ngs presented. In Virginia they refuse to |
unite with Democrats, but run Douglas ticket |
IS the better way to aid their allies, the Know
,othings. In Maryland, the same insidious
Jane is playing, and there can be no longer
my doubt that Mr.. Douglas and his active
eaders have ceased to be Democrats, and ara
deliberately engaged in acrusade for the over
brow Of the Democratic party.

Abolition Resistance to the Law in
Wisconsin.


The above is the heading Of long article in
the Milwaukee Seminal Of the 29th. The con-
clusion Of it is as follows:
'''The Marshals went for the purpose of ar
resting fugitive, but were prevented by
mob Of armed fanatics, outnumbering them
twelve to one, banded together to set at de-
fiance the laws of the country and the GoV.
ment of the United States. II ever we had
reason t, deplore the spread Of fanaticism, it
is now. If ever there was time for action,
it has arrived"
The person sought to be arrested is an aboli-
ZIONIST, charged with violation of the Fugi-
tive slave Law. Aided by his Republican
friends, be has thus far set the Government al
defiance, and escaped punishment The law
less spirit of Abolitionism, and its tendancy, is
well illustratedin these revolutionary proceed
,, ings in Wisconsin. 81

The Democratic Platform.

The platform which John c. Breckinridge
endorses and to which he stands pledged adopts
the principles underlying the Kausas-N -Nebras-
ka act !; non-interference Of Congress with
slavery IN the Territories or in the District Of
Columbia; the uniform application of this
principle in the organization of Territories |;
admission of new States with or without
slavery the right OF the people Of all the
Territories. whenever the number of their in
habitants justifes it or is adequate, to form a
constitution with or without slavery and to
come into the Union the right of the slave
holder to carry his slaves into the Territories,
and to hold them there, unimpaired BY either
Congressional or Territorial Legislation, and
the duty of the Federal Government, in al its
departments, to protect slavery in the Terri
tories or wherever else its authority extends

a brilliant Democratic victory, than Connec-
ticut. The opposition majority there last
spring in the gubefnatoral election was less
than 600, and this could have been easily
overcome by a united Democracy. But, as
ev rywhere else where the supporters of
Douglas have had the power, they absolutely
refused any compromise, and virtually declar-
ed by their action that Connecticut must go
for Abraham Lincoln.
That Democrat must be short sighted in
deed who cannot now see that Douglas and
his leading supporters are playing into the
hands Of the Black Republicans in the North,
and ofthe Knownothings in the South. Their
first tobject is to break down the Democratic
party, and then trust TO luck to form new
Darty of which they shall be the recognized
eaders and Spoilsmen.
We cannot believe they will be successful
n their purpose. There is too much sense

ratio party to permit this Those who have

breckenridge and Lane will speedily do SO,

Mk BELL ON SURPRISING THE SLAVE TRADE
IN THE DISTRICT OF CoLUMB1A.-The bill on
which Mr.. Bell made his speech in 1853, on
the suppression of the Slave Trade in the Dis
trict of Columbia, proposed that slaves brought
into the District should be emancipated. Mr..
Bell opposed emancipation as penalty, but
said
aThis bill should be 90 amended as not to
augment an evil that already weighs heavily
upon the country. Make the penalty for
violating the provisions of the bill pecuniary
one. Let Il be ttoice the Uaiue Of The slaue, il
you please. # that is not enough, inpriso'a

So according to Mr. Bell, . man who would
carry his slave into the District Of Columbia
from Maryland. Virginia or Tennessee to sell
although his necessities might require him to
sell him. should pay twice the value ofths ne
gro, or be imprisoned.
