The Secession Faction.

The Mountain Democrat IS the organ OF the
secessionists from the Democratic party in
California, and is one of the pluckiest insttu-
tions that ever started on a wrong tack. 1t is
anxious to renew the insane sectional war
which characterized the efforts of the Breckin-
ridge faction last year, with Washington, for
Governor, Col. Jack Hayes, and others, for
the balance of the ticket. With such names,
the Democrat thinks they could "plant the
flag of victory over the graves of their foes. >
Either they would do that, or be planted so
eeep themselves that they would take root
through into China, and raise the devil IN the
Celestial Kingdom, with their irrepressible
niggers. Col Washington is very clever
gentleman. We always liked him. and we
have prayed more for his return, than we ever
did over the ninety nine, who remained in the
Democratic fold. As the nominee of the De-
mocracy Of California, he would make a splen-
did run, as, indeed, would almost any other
gentleman of tried and acknowledged ability
but as the nominee Of the secession faction, he
would make DO run at all Better thousand
times that he should fall through one of the
thousand man-traps that are yawning in San
Francisco for the want of bulkhead, than be
caught in such q trap.
If the organization Of the secession faction
is to be continued in California, it is not right
for 10 off tbair eto nd hvc
their wheel horses Gwins, Wcllers,
Geigers and Bottses, and put up new men
in their places. When Weller was defeated
for Senator, he was made Governor. Shall
Gwin be treated with less respect now For
bid it, ye Japanese Josh, Joe Heco, Lime
Point and other household gods of the defunct
SENATOR We insist upon it that, if the sec
tional Breckenridge organization is to be main
tanned in this State, it is its duty to honor its
Father and Mother, by nominating Gwin and
Weller. Sacrifice no man with an empty nom
ination, who would be good patriot and
Democrat, if he were let alone by perverse and
wicked factions. If the secession faction are
determined to give the State to the Republi-
cans let the old reprobatcs complete the work
they have so ingloriously naugurated and not
lasten their shrivelled talons upon men who
have hereafter before them, that their infatu
ated misery may be accompanied by wrecks
before whose sad fate their own repudiation
may receive tinge of glory. Stick to your
old hacks, if you are determined to bury them
back up, after having forced them to commit
suicide and let decent white men alone

BsaSThe recent Pony news, announcing that
Mr.. Buchanan had appointed VIM. G. McIn-
tyre Collector of Customs for the neighborhood
of Charleston, and would send him there ac-
companied by two war vessels, looks as though
he was breaking loose, at last, from the con-
troll of the Cobbs and Floyds who have hther-
to had him in durance vile,' and that he was
about to show the world that the Federal
Government still has an existence. Such
proceeding, however, is in direct notification
of the order of the South Carolina State Con-
vention requiring the Customs to be paid into
the State Treasury, and may result in the de-
feat of Mr.. Buchanan, whose disposition to
back down from every correct position has be-
come cronic. Should he proceed in the course
thus intimated during the four remaining weeks
of his Administration, we shall be happy to
place it to the credit side of his account.
Something like correct spirit seems to have
actuated him for moment when he suggested
the name of Gen. Scott to succeed Floyd as
Secretary Of War, but the secessionists again
brought him under, and he withdrew his nom-
ination, substituting Holt, late Post Master
General.
