The Pony Express, with San Francisco dates
to the 7th September, passed Fort Kearney on
the 10th, by which we learn that the United
States Marshal had seized the ship Henry
Brigham, just arrived from Liverpool. She IL
owned by the Brothers Lathrop, Of Savannah,
Georgia. LIZ
The ship Benefactor was also seized, on the
ground that one eighth Of the vessel Is owned
by parties residing in Virginia. She was,
however, promptly released on filling up the
proper bonds ut the custom-house.
The Sinking Fund In the State Treasury has
been used to redeem SOC, 900 of the California

The State election returns show that STAN

The Assembly will be strongly Republican,
and that party also has large plurality in the

II The Democrat is improving in style,
IL not in the character Of its principles. Its
four column article in reply to ours is decent
m expression. but we cannot say much else
Tor it. Our engagements this week make it
impossible for us to give il other than pass
in. notice. We will however remark, us the
article seems to b. simply statements OF what
the editor Of the Union did or did not be-
lieyc, and Of what he wrote from Washing
ton, that il hardly touches the points in dis
csssion. We gave the testimony Of promi-
ncnt leaders Of the Democracy Us to what
was done in Congress, and in the entire arti'
Gle these witnesses are hardly alluded to or
named. 1t isof very little consequence what
our opinions were. We admit, nay, we do
more, we claim that we were opposed to any
compromisc. are 50 now, except ON the basis
of a complete submission by the rebels to the
Constitution, and regard for the laws
We had no idea ourselves Of stepping on to
Mr.. Breckinridges platform, or copsentinS
10 such attentions Of the Constitution rs
would lead to perpetual wars to conquer ter
ri.orics for slavery. In brief, the Consti,u-
ton was good enough for us, and we had no
desire to sec il altered to suit the purposes OF
men who could bring no justification for their
demands, except that they had been beaten
in Presidential election, and were unwilling
to submit like good citizens to the rule OF
the majority. We had, also, when in WASH
ingtOu, the opinion that the Southern men
who arc now secessionists had no idea Of al
lowing any settlement Of the question. We
looked upon their efforts as designed entirely
to prevent any settlement, and all the talk
about the matter rs made TO gain time 50
that the rebels might perfect their disunion
measures. The result shows thatour suppo-
sitions were correct. We have not time for
further comment this week, and shall leave
for a future occasion the task OF noticing
whatever We think important in the Demo-
Gratis article.
