Hr.as,izil,..

Within two weeks past there have been
81 me four or five clabs organized in The
different townships in the county, by The
Democrats. Polk. Union, Walnut, Cen
ter, and we believe Green, have organlz-
ed. The secretaries Of the on, townships
have not furnished us with tine proceed
ings oftheir meetings, as We wish they had
done, for We want it understood that our
paper is the organ Of the entire democra-
cy of the county. Will our friends bear
this in mind. and give us, in a brief man
ner. the proceedings and items of iuteres:
that transpire at their club meetings. from
lime to time.
Last Thursday evening we attended the
meeting in Union Township, where they
had a good turnout and an interesting
time. The Democrats in this township
are alive to heir duty. and will report
themselves right next fall After the
adoption of constitution and by laws,
and the election of officers, speaking was
in order. r. F. Shirley was elected Chair
man. and in the course Of his inaugural
read many conflicting statements and ex
tracts from the different Republican lead
ers, exposing their intrigue and dishon-
esty.
James NJ Wickizer was called upon
and responded in : short, pithy speech,
that made several of the Republicans pres
ent squirm piteously., Finally they got
as mad as their skin could hould." and
commenced relieving themselves BIZ inter
ruprre the speaker, denying his charges
on their party in the most ungeniemanly
manner, and before the crowd dispersed
finding themselves run ashore for argu-
ment they used theii neverialing sub
sjilu,e for reasoping-''d-d lie, aid
talked abort fighting. These were some
of tie men who belong 10 the temperance,
respectable. intelligent party, but who.
when they attend a public meeting. smell
Of whiskey. behave iudecenlly and prove
themselves fools. We could see no object
in their acting as they did, unless it was
for the purpose of breaking up the meet
ing. Although such things are very an
moving to well behaved persons. yet there
is no better evidence that they feel them
selves badly wo ted" nor can any bet
ter electioneering be done for the Democ
racy. They are "elcome to all they made
last Thursday evening. or all they may
make by similar conduct hereafter.
Union will come in all right.

WHAT TIE COLUMBIA TINES SAYS The Co.
lumOir (ruolumne county, Times, an inde-
pendent journal which has hitherto exhibited
some regard for the Administration, and
especially for Gov. Weller, says in its issue of
the 10Th inst.
Stephen A. Douglas, it is asserted, is the
regular nominee of the regular Convention.
and in all fairness and candor, we do not see
how such assertion is to be honestly and fair
ly disproved, for it does not admit Of "a doubt
much less Of an argument-that the Com
vention that nominated him was the regular
National Convention Whether he obtained
two-thirds of the votes of the whole of the
delegates 10 that Convention, or only two
thirds of those who were present, is not hy
any means 50 Important question, as is that
ofthe authority of the Convention ITSELF
The Breckenridge party claim for that gem
tleman that he was nominated hy Conven>
tion also assembled at Baltimore. Now we
do not see how his friends can establish the
fact that that Convention was in conformity
to Democratic usages. The members of it
had been members of the awfully-constituted
National Convention, and being in the mi
nority, consequently unable to attain their
ends, they left the National Convention, and
with the addition of members who had no
voice in that Convention, constituted them
selves into separate aud distinct party -
Can the most Jealous partisan OF Mr.. Breck-
lnMdge say that such Convention was
regular or that it was in accordance with
Democratic principles? Certainly not Then
it follows that Douglas is, to say the very
least, the nominee of the Regular Coaven-
ton and that Breckenridge is not.

How TIE CLUBS STAND If the numerical
strength of the political clubs of Oroville, is
a correct index of the popular feeling, the
National Democracy have great cause for en-,
enlargement. The Breckinridgers report so
names but we do not think they were square
ly obtained. However, they claim that num-
Der, and we will so consider it, The Repub-
llcans, after great rust!ing around the town
and country, claimed to have 90 "sogers'
enrolled under the banner of the rail splitter
The National Democracy have enrolled in
the Douglas and johnson Club Of Orovile
one hundred and seventy good and true

fair working majority over the combined
numerical force of the Lincoln rail spiitters,

SENATOR LATHAM-How DOES re STAND ON
CAL1FoRNIA SuBJEcrs.-A correspondent OF
the San Francisco Bulletin, under the above
heading, and who signs himself zone who
voted for Latham for Governor" writes as
follows:
have read the address of Senator La
than, published in the Bulletin, giving his
reasons for advocating the election of John
c. Brrckinlidge to the Presidency. Mr.. La
than assumes for himself very dignihed
position in the premises, and argues the right
of popular sovereignty" in the Territories
only. Not one pord does he say about the
interests of California His Democratic
friends, who voted for him for Governor and
approved of his election to the United States
Senate, because they believed him to be au
honest man and true advocate of their in
tcrests, would like to hear from him, on
sui iect of vastly more Importance to Calitor
mia, than the mere abstract question of popu-
lar sovereignty. l would like to PROFOUND tc
Senator Latham the following questions, viz
Does he endorse the Administration of JAS
Buchanan
Does he endorse the action of Senator
Gwin, in defeating the Pacific Railroad and
Daily Overland Mail bills?
Does he advocate the claims of Senator
Gwin upon the people of California for II re-
election to the United States Senate?
To the last proposition he will undoubted-
ly say no; but this is not enough. 1t is gen
orally rumored and very generally believed
that Mr. Latham, to advance his own inter-
ests, has arranged with Mr.. Gwin not to
openly oppose him, or. in other words, tC
pursue "masterly inactivity in his opposi
ton. Now, Mr.. Latham was elected to the
position he occupies because he assured hi,
friends that the highest ambition of his lifc
was to defeat Gwin, whom the people o
California SO utterly detest for his treachery
to their best interests
Until Senator Latham satisfactorily defines
his position on these vital points, he will be
looked upon as affiliating with those who are
opposed to the best interests of his constitu-
.ents

The pony came in to the Sink of the Car

whether the Indians have interfered or not
