REPLY TO THE ABOVE.

REPLY TO THE ABOVE.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 23d, 1860.
DEAR SIR II beg to answer your query
of the 10th, by propounding another
"Why can't the gentleman you named, and
his friends, let others alone?" And, pend.
ing your consideration of this response,
beg further to advise you of two principles
on which I act:
First, Never to open fight;
Second, Never to close one.
I hold it to be suggestion Of the most
common courtesy, that any man who wan
tonly provokes controversy, either openly
or secretly, should be permitted to indicate,
freely, and on his own motion, when it shall
close.
And, on this basis, cheerfully adopt
your greeting, and subscribe myself,
sYours truly" E. s. GOODRICH

We have seen several letters from Col.
r. B. Mason, Of Chicago, on the subject Of
our Railroad connections with the East,
synopsis Of which we have been requested
to publish.
He mentions that the Iowa Roads are
now in rapid progress toward the Minneso-
ia State Line. That the Cedar Falls and
Minnesota Railroad, of which he is Presi-
dent made contract on the fifth of Janu.
airy, with very responsible company from
Boston, to complete their road in three years,
or as soon as the Minneapolis and Cedar
Valley Railroad is opened to the State
line, even though that be accomplished in
eighteen months. Being very DESTROYS Of
having that road from st. Paul to the Iowa
line completed as soon as possible, he is in
communication with some strong parties
connected with the Michigan Central Rail-
road and the New York Central Railroad,
on the subject of taking hold of it. He
further states that the Illinois Central gen.
tlemen are quite interested in it, and have
promised him that they would at once COM
municate with their Board of Directors in
New York, to see if some plan cannot be
devised to give such aid, as will secure its
construction it being of vital Importance
to the Illinois Central Railroad to have the
Minneapolis and Cedar Valley Railroad
built at once, so as to open line through to
St. Paul. He considers it should be opened
this year from st. Paul or Mendoza to
Faribault, and be completed the following
summer. He says that authority should be
vested in the Governor or some other per-
sons, during the recess of the Legislature, to
contract with companies he being confident
that, as soon as the river opens, we will have
several competing parties in st. Paul to
arrange with the State to build this road.
1t is needless for US to say anything with
respect to COL MASON. He is universally
known both in the East and West as man
Of strict integrity, sound judgment, and ex-
tensive experience in the management and
prose cution Of great Railroad enterprises.
We have also seen proposition from Mr..
T. DWIGHT, New York gentlemen, who
has been extensively engaged in the con.
struction of Railways. He is largely in
terested in those roads in Illinois and Iowa,
of which the Minneapolis and Cedar Valley
Railroad will be an extension. For himself
and his associates, he proposes to complete
this road by the close of next year 186l) on
the following terms:
FIRST. That the road in its present con-
dition shall be delivered by the State to the
new company free from all indebtedness.
Second. It shall receive the lands to which
it is entitled by the Land Grant.
Iowa Railroads, for instance the Chicago,
Iowa and Nebraska Railroad, the Cedar
Falls and Minnesota Railroad, and others,
are being constructed and completed without
State aid. Why then should we doubt that
we will find responsible parties to build our
Railways, endowed as they are with valua-
BILE grants of lands, if we only throw them
open to competition.

BURNED TO DEATH.-The lodging house Of the

caught FIRE about two o'clock on Saturday morning
June 23d. Thirty persons were sleeping IN the
house, all but one Of whom escaped. One Of the men
seemed bewildered, and remained in the house cry

crushed him. When the alarm wasgyen the flames
mad gained such headway that the others had barely
time to save themselves.

IRISH EXODUS TO THR UNITED SrArBs.-The
emigration from Ireland to the United States which
has largely increased within the pas. few msnshs.
excites considerable comment in England. The
London journal says
There can be no question that tho exodus from
Ireland this season Is likely to be as marvellous in
its extent that which followed upon the terrible
famine Of 1887. The provincial papers TEEN with
the subject, and the farmers remaining at home
have taken alarm at the almost certain prospect Of
scarcity of laborers and the consequent enhanced
price OF labor. The emigration panic is to be traced
to the simple fact that every mail from America
brings large remittances for passage and outfit to
lingly tempted to better their condition in country
which offers larger field for industrial enterprise

EDIrop DEMocRAT :-"Whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad" This
saying is fairly illustrated by the action of
the Boilers party of this place, as well as
the editor of the Express. And why should
they not be mad? They spent almost four
hundred dollars and a great deal of labor to
get up ratification meeting, which proved
failure | am not astonished at their chag-
rim but why did the rest not take it as cool.
ly as n certain liquor merchant, who, when
he saw the great procession pass his store,
exclaimed: ooh, if l only had my ten dol
lars back"
The disturbance spoken of in yesterday :
Express is all in the imaginative brains Of
the editor Of the Express. There was no
disturbance Of any kind during the grand
fzzle. Mr.. Montgomery was listened to
with great respect, and after he closed, three
cheers were given for Douglas. Nor was
Mr.. Rhodes interrupted at any time during
his speech; but when that great patriot hyp'
ocritcally nattered our foreign born citizens,
whom he had declared unfit for citizenship
only five years since, and stigmatzed and
ridiculed some Of our most intelligent and
industrious native citizens, by calling them
wooden-c clock and wooden-nutmeg peddlars,
and finally wound up by calling for three
groans for the Union "a paper which has
more subscribers in this place than the seced
ing party can count members,) who will
wonder that he called forth burst of ndig-
nation? 1t was only after the meeting ad-
iourned that p. II. Harris was called for,
who appeared on the stand in company with
f. NJ. Smith, when the latter challenged the
former to debate of the political issues of
the day, which was promptly accepted by
the former. After which the meeting dis
persed without any disturbance; only the
fact that those who got up the meeting did
not get their moneys worth. Yet, why not
take it like philosophers, and why attack
the character Of your Peareable neighbors ?

Democratic State Central Committee.
So FnANcIsco. JUN 81. ls6o.

SAN FRANcIsco, July 81, 1860.
at the meeting Of the Democratic State Central
Committee, this day the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted and directed to be
published in the Democratic papers of the State.
RESOLVED. First, that we recognize and sustain
The regular cIudidItes Of the National Democratic
Convention STEPHEN A. DoUGLAs for President,
and HEEcUEL V. JOHNSON for Vice President
and approve the platform Of principles there
adopted.
RESOLVED, Second, that Democratic State
Convention be held at the city of Sacramento, on
Wednesday, the 9TH day of September, 1860, at
y ocluck, noon, for the purpose of nominating
four Electors of President and Vice President IL
cast the vote Of the State of California for the
regularly nominated candidates of the National
Democratic party
RESOLVED, Third, that it lis recommended to the
several Democratic County Committees to adopt
for the primary election in their respective coun.
es, a test which shall admit all National and
Union loving men who Will support the regular
Democratic nominations for President and Vice
President.
RESOLVED, Fourth, that we adopt the ratio Of
representation Of the last State Democratic Con-
venton, and that the following BE- the apportion-
uneut for each county tO.Yit:
Daily national Democrat., 1860-08-04

S4@mar&-Breckinridge, l0t; Guthrie,
4 Douglas, 1914; whole vote given, 1876.
About 20 refused to vote.
Regular delegates were present from Geor
gia, and their hearty sympathes were with
Douglas, but point of honor prevented them
from casting their votes. South Carolina,
which chooses Presidential Electors (eight
votes) 10y her Legislature, and not by popu-
lar vote, sent no delegates to the Convention.
The only other States not repre- euted were :
Florida, 9 votes; Mississippi, 7; Texas,
California, and Oregon, g. Total elector-
al vote of States not present in the Conyen-
ton, 39
So there were only SO votes absent from
the Convention which nominated Douglas.
Is any further showing necessary to demon
strate the perfect legitimacy of the Douglas
nomination? Those votes which were alb
sent should, in duty to their constituents,
have been there, but, choosing to withdraw
or to remain away, they could not expect
that the Convention would do otherwise than
go straight on with its proceedings 1t did
go on and nominated Douglas by a two
thirds vote.

''The Vote in the National Democratic
COnVentiOn.''

Under the above head the Cleveland
(Ohio) Paindealer gives the last vote cast
at Baltimore for Douglas, and the States they
were from. Such a table will be of interest
at this time, as strong efforts are making to
satisfy the public mind that there were not
two-thirds of all the delegates from the
States present, and that two-thirds of all the
delegates from all the States were necessary
to a choice. The Ploindeaer says:
In every one of the New York 'aily papers
the vote announced by telegraph vas wrong
The six votes of Louisiana were omitted, and
the vote Of New York given as thirty one
instead of thirty five. There are other er-
rors also. The correct vote on the second
ballot was as follows:

PINE GROVE, Aug lst.
EDlroR DEMoCRAr.-A large and enthusl-
astic Douglas ratification meeting was held
here last night, July Slst The Union Hail
was crowded to its fullest capacity. The
meeting was organized by electns D. H.
Gardner Chairman and Geo. W. Cox Secre-
tary The Chairman stated the Object Of the
meeting in few but very appropriate re-
marks; the Pine Grove brass band played IN
their usual good style In a moment alter
ward, Mr.. John Daugherty, of this district
appeared amid great enthusiasm and made a
beautiful speech in defence of Douglas and
johnson, and, courteously, yet boldly ana
fearlessly, administered the whip lash Of JUS
tice to the backs of the Black Republican
sectionalits Of the North, aud the sectional
secession disunionists Of the South. He was
followed 10y Col. A T. Williams, Of st. Louis,
in philosophical matter Of fact speech
Then Judge Howe Of St, Louis was called for,
and made handsome speech.
After the adjournment Of the meeting,
while firing a national salute Of 3S guns in
honor of The nomination of stephen a. Doug
las and Herschel V. johnson, and at the
twentieth round, premature discharge OF
the cannon blew off both arms ola Mr. Rog-
ers, from Ohio, while in the act of tamping.
The sad accident has cast a gloom over our
entire community. Poor fellow, his right
arm had TO be taken off one inch and hall
from his shoulder, and the left arm about
mid way between the elbow and shoulder
One eye is so badly powder burned that he
will lose it. He has the undivided sympathy
ofall, and many join him in his prayer that
he may never recover
In haste, yours truly, C. W. C.
