TnE New YORK DEMooRACY.-The Lock
port IN. W Advertiser says 5000 people
were in attendance at the Douglas meeting in
that village. Mr.. Ely presided. Messrs Lam
ming and Cutting, of Buffalo, spoke, and
were followed by Sandford E. Church, who
spoke with great eloquence and effect and
who repealed the foul charges made against
the New York delegation
The New York delegation had the balance
of power, and could, had they consented to
betray their constituents, have bought the
patronage of the whole Federal Government.
and every candidate before the Convention.
Werefused to betray the 100000 Democrats
OF New York, and we are thus accused be-
cause we remained true to them, and obeyed
their instructions. The disappointed aspir
ant Dickinson to whom he had alluded, had
quoted in his speech the following lines
Twice have sought Clan-A lpines glen
In peace; but when | come again,
come with banner, brand aud bow,
As leader seeks his mortal foe.
lfthe gentleman intended this as 4 threat,
he would reply to him in the language Of the
same author:
For love-lorn swain, in lady's bower,
Ne'er painted for the appointed hour,
As l. until before me stand
This rebel chieftaIn and his band.
Mr.. Church said New York had given more
votes to the Democratic party than all the
States that seeded.

ENCOURAGING PRosPEors. news pour
ing upon us every day from all quarters, says
the Sonora Age of Saturday, is of the most
encouraging character, and indicates in the
most unmistakable manner that Douglas and
johnson will sweep the State by a good
round majority. We have no more doubt on
this point than we have that we are engaged
in writing this paragraph. The ablest lead.
ing men of the Democratic party are with us
in this contest; and all are buckling on the
-armor and marshaling the Democratic hosts
to give battle to the forces of the two sec
tional parties arrayed against US We have
every indication, too, that our own county is
all right, and that every man on our ticket
will be elected. The candidates are doing
good service, working increasingly for the
cause, and making friends everywhere We
are thus inspired with confidence that glo-
rious victory awaits us.

distant from that delectable Catcring place
40 miles We here found no grass, but were
compelled TO remain during the day to rest
our animals. But the early morn found us
again at our toilsome march, hoping in the
course of the day to find sustenance for our
famishing animals, but at o'clock in til
afternoon there was no prospect Of immediate
relief, and some of the party were falling be-

animals, and although the canteens were

allowing such as chose, to make a desperate
push for water. Unpacking our animals and
tuning them out to browse upon the scatter
ed grease wood, we were soon joined by the
rear of the party with the loss, however, of
one of their animals from fatigue, hunger and
thirst. After twc-hours rest we resumed
our march, two of the company having pre-
eeded us without stopping. The day had
been excessively warm and the boys com
planned bitterly of thirst, and the lightning

But the sufferings Of some of the boys who

hugged the idea that this State would go for

votes in August, ana of these $4,000 were

Douglas candidate received $4,000 If the
Brecbinridge men poll 10000, they will draw
10000 from the Douglas vote leaving him
$1,000 or enough to get the State The vote

TIE DEMOCRACY IN SAN JoAQuIN-We hear,
says the Stockton Argus, from all parts of
San Joaquin county the most favorable
tidings of the prospects of the National Dem
Ocratc ticket. Its strength lies in the hearts
of the people, who can readily see the folly
of Congressional intervention to protect
slavery in Territory as advocated by the
Boilers and Secessionists as well as that of
the interference of Congress to prohibit it, as
eOntended for by the Republicans. The only
wise, Democratic principle, is that of non
intervention-of keeping the slavery excite
ment out of Congress, and having that body
let the people of the Territories alone, and
leave them to manage their own domestic
concerns. This is plain, practical wisdom,
which every farmer, mechanic and laborer
can understand He needs no other argu-
ment to control him in the support of the
regular Democratic nominees-Douglas and
johnson.

Mai. Hammond's Speech at San Andreas.

The Independent in giving an account Of
the Democratic meeting held at San Andreas
on the evening of the 25th of last month,
says:
At the close of Governor Downev's re.
marks, the Chairman introduced Hon. r. p.
Hammand, one of the Douglas Electors for
this State. Mr.. Hammond confined his ar
gument to a refutation of the Breekinridre
charge of irregularty in the nomination OF
Mr. Douglas lie made we thought. mas
terly effort, entirely free from clap-trap rhet-
orical flourish and altogether unanswerable
by the Breckinridgers who place their cause
upon the basis laid down in Mr. Buchanan's
Washington speech, in which the venerable
Chief Magistrate' allowed all good Demo-
Gratis to vote for whom they please, regard
less of the action of the Baltimore Conven-
tion. Mr. Hammond, from the record.
reviewed the proceedings Of every Ma
tional Convention since 1892 the origin
and intent of the "two-thirds rule" which
he read as it was twice passed by National
Conventions, and clearly explained itself to
mean, not as held by the Seceders two-thirds
of the whole Convention, but "two-thrds OF
all the votes cast" to make a binding nomi.
nation. He therefore claimed that on this
score Mr.. Douglas was as regularly nominat-
ed as any Democratic candidate for the Pres
idency had ever been.
On the matter of the contested seats of
delegates from several States he argued that
the Baltimore Convention, like any other de.
Lucrative body, was clearly the proper
Judge of the qualifications Of its own mem
bers, and that its action in this respect could
constitute no rational plea against its regu-
lanty. with the same reason said the
speaker, "Mr. Latham, who is now arguing
with the Breclinridge party, the irregularitv
of the nomination of Douglas, might have
been complained against by the friends of
John B. Weller, when the former in our own
State Convention of 1859, beat the latter for

from three counties whose seats were con
tested by Latham delegates The nomina-
tion of Governor depended wholly upon the
report Of that Committee on Credentials: if

would be Latham. Would Weller have been
justified in Withdrawing with bis friends
from that Convention because the Committee
reported against his set of delegates? Would
Latham have eXonorated him for thus break.

urges the same action en- the part Of the Bal

to the thirsty traveller is not unpleasant but

grass here, but animals only eat it from sheer
necessity. We also found here another adobe

OUR ROUTE FROM THE MoHAvE.
Taking a northern course over a region in
termitting with ridges of loose sand and spurs
of volcanic mountains, we entered upon as
barren waste as ever emerged from the
hand of Desolation-destitute of vegetation
save here and there stinted greasewood
struggling for a sickly subsistence from the
inhospitable sand--eyen the hardy cactus
having given up the hopeless contest with
blank sterility. The beasts seek their prey
or forage in more friendly reaim and the
birds flee the weird waste to chant their
melodies whore nature has beauties to in
spire the song; and as we move along in
solemn silence no form of life disturbs our
communion with our own thoughts, save an
occasional lizard, whitened to actual pale
ness from contemplation of his lonely and
dismal abode.
