OUR DoCTRINE.-1he San Jose Tribune
in an a, ticle upon the action Of the Breck
nridge and douglas State Committees
says:
TO some Of those vino refused all over
ture for compromise with the Breckinridge
Committee, it may not be dstasiefnl to
know that the re- ubicans will carry every.
thing before them; but to us it is CALLING in
the extreme. For years past, they have
been plotting the destruction of this, the
best Government upon the face Of the globe.
They really desire the separation of the
Free and the Slave States; and vet, with
most execrable hypocrisy, they prale Of
their love for it and their determination to
preserve it, Oh, the "irrepressibe" hypo
critics! We desire the defeat of this party.
We desire the reunion Of the democracy,
and hope, that the committees of this
county will disregard the action Of the
State Committees, and come together. We
hope, the Douglas Committee of this coun-
ty will assemble AS soon as possible, dis
tinctly repudaie the impolitc action had on
the 7lh inst; and that with the Breckenridge
Committee, sitting together, complete
traternzaion may be effected upon some
such basis AS the following:
!. Devotion to the Union, and regret that
it's perpe,uity is endangered.
2. Opposition to co ,rcion and war.
3. For compromise se-the Crittenden, or
any other of that character.
4. Neutrality and peace for California, in

GSEILfNG AN EMPEROR. when Napo-
leon took possession Of Holland he visited
Dordt. and, as was usual with him, made
numerous and minute inquiries regarding
the imports aud general commerce OF the
place. Among others, he addressed abrupt
iy Mr.. Gerard Maurilz, afterwards British
consul at Dordt, asking him, "Well, what
number of windmills have we hcrey" "tive
hundred. sire" was as inconsiderately and
as abruptly answered. "And what number
ofcubic feet Of timber arrive here annually"
upon which Mr.. Mauritz, as incorrectly,
but as promptly, named round number.
This smartness, which Napoleon took for in
telligence, so much pleased him. that the
next day the Emperor's secretary waited
upon Mr.. Maurtz with the order of the Le-
gion Of Honor, and most complimentary
letter. Mr.. Mauritz had previously been ln-
formed by friend who knew Napoleon's
temper. that he must not seem to hesitate.
or even consider when addressed, or lasked
o question by the emperor, but, right or
wrong, speak frankly, boldly, and with con-
fdencc. Mr.. Mauritz took and prollted by
the hint. In fact, Napoleon had asked the
burgomaster question about the number
of criminals annually convicted at Dordt,
and while the magistrate was calculating
and thinking, in order to answer correctly,
Napoleon turned round upon his heel, and,
with rather supercillious curl OF the lip,
suddenly asked, and was answered the
questions above mentioned.-[ Life of Ma
