SACRAMENTO, Feb. 49,
EDToR DEMOCRAT The d-organizers
have made pretty strong headwoy tonight.
The fusion meeting of Breckinridgcrs and
fshy Democrats held last evening appointed
a committee Of six to propose q plan for
harmony The motley crew meet again to-
night. Men who howled for Douglas last
fall were at the gathering, check by jowl
with rampant dsanionists. Those who saw
in the factious nomination Of Breckinrid &c
last year, criminal attempt to break up the
Democratic party and the Union, were to-

men crawling into embraces Of those who. n
little more than three months ago, were de-
nouncing them as mulattoes. Time works
wonders, however, and Senatorial fights
make strange bed fellows While the dis
graceful scenes alluded to were being enacted
in the Assembly chamber, the faithful mem
bers of the party, embracing a ma iorty Of
the Douglas Democrats of both houses, were
in caucus in the Senate chamber. OF those
who voted for Denver at previous caucus
meetings only one (Chase) acted with the
party this evening A portion of Mr.. Nu-
gents friends also withdrew. After some dis.
cussion, the caucus adjourned without ballot
ing for Senator. 1t is hoped that better eoun.
sells will prevail tomorrow with some Of the
refractory members. At all events it is more

Tomorrow night which will be adhered TO-,
to the end, by the regular organization of the
party. out Of all this one fact is evident TO
all, and that is that James w. Denver has
committed political suicide
No sound can awake him TO glory again"
lie has passed himself and his followers
over, bound hand and foot, to an enemy that
has never been known to forget or forgive

extreme demands upon a "nigger" issue

tent minority faction in the dsunion party of
this State. lie and they have surrendered
at discretion. His Senatorial pretensions are
secuted by many of the Brccknrdgers, and
although they would perhaps have support

now have no other use for his forces than to
make them vote for the candidate they may
select from their own ranks Sic transit glo

The Douglas caucus numbered ffty-six at
the outset. square majority of them are
still true to their colors, and will remain so.
II they cannot elect Senator, they can and
will have the power to maintain the party
organization and the principles upon which
it stands. The people will attend to those
gentlemen who wormed themselves into seat,
in the Legislature by empty professions of
Democracy, and then sought the first oppor-
tunity to bolt CArITo1.

BEAR RIVER LAND CASE We copy the fol

CHARGE OF TREAsoN.-It is announced by
telegraph to the New York papers that q
formal charge of treason has been preferred
against the secession leaders. The fact wa.
not sufficiently important to telegraph to the
Western press, yet it has decided interest

DANIEL S. DICKINSON SUrroRTs SEWARD
Some of the Democratic politicians in this
State will be surprised on seeing the follow
ing announcement in the Syracuse New
York; Journal:
We understand that Daniel S. Dickinson.
during his recent visit TO this city, in con-
yersalion with friends, expressed his appro-
Oatlon of the general tenor of Stewards
speech IN the strongest terms and further, he
lntlmated, without reserve, that should Lin

sentiments as those enunciated bv Seward
he was prepared to give it the aid of bis
voice and influence to secure for it fair
trial, and to sustain it with the people.

Dickinson's position as good as Douglass or

the name of Adams was arrested Tuesday af-

just before his arrest he stripped to the

were having hearing when the fellow un-

Allison to seize the fellow, who struck at AL

by the falling of tho dirt above his head.
Looking up, he beheld an immense bank of
earth coming upon him, and had barely time
to spring to the opposite side of the race,
when it fell with a sullen crash, covering
him up all but his head. Being a large man
and of greatmuscular strength, he managed
to bear the tremendous weight until his
friends came to his rescue. lie was, how
ever, SO severely injured as to be unable to

TIE LEssoN.-The boiling of the Demo
cratic caucus, the other evening, at Sacra
mento. by the Denver and Nugent men, an,
their fraternization in a Convention fo
patching upa new Democratic Party, show
one thing very plainly, that there is no sta.
bilty in any organization composed of sucl
elements. Suppose new Democratic Party
were formed according to the programme
They would bolt that, whenever they felt
like it. There is no relying upon men who
must win or bolt
Organizations nova days are becoming
the merest by-word, with some men, and
there is no telling three months hence where
In respect to organization, any of these boilers
will be. They are desperately afraid of be-
ing considered Republicans, and yet they
are doing their level best, apparently, to aid
the Republican Party, by weakening the
regular organization. Instead of standing
firm and true to the organization which cleo
ted them and giving it strength for the next
contest, they are doing their best to weaken
and break it down. If their new co-parti-
zans can trust them, It is more than their old
ones could, certainly. Such sticklers for or
ganization, as they were in the last campaign
They ought to be shown in Barnums Muse
um as living specimens of that wonderful
jewel so much talked of-consistency
Their excuse for boiling was the refusal of
certain Douglas men to vote for the resolu-
tions endorsing the Crittenden Compromise
and Juggling in John G. Breckinridge, to be
endorsed along with it. Was this not
beautiful excuse? A minority undertake to
say to majority, "you are Republicans if
you don't agree with Breckinridge" Who
made Breckinridge's name, all on sudden,
the great touchstone of Democracy? Logan
and Others who now make this test, didn't
seem to think quite so much of Breckinridge |
at the last election, when they ran for office
as Douglas men. Zheywere not Republicans,
then, Notwithstanding they did not endorse
Breckinridge. The excuse is fimsy and the
men who make it ought to be ashamed Of
he reflection which they cast upon their own
ense and dignity.

The CITY LIBEARY.-We regret that any
disagreement should have existed between
the Directors of this institution and the Lii
brarian, Mr. Wedle of such character as to
induce the latter to reign his situation.-
The Appeal expressed a hope, few days
ago, that an effort would be made to retain
his services, but we learn that Mr.. Wedle
feels so much aggrieved, (whether justly oI
not of course we cannot say) at the conduct
of certain of the Directors towards him, that
he is determined, on no consideration, TO re-
sumo the position. We regret this exceed
ingly, for the reason that Mr.. Wedle has
seemed TO us TO be the very man for the
place, and "the right man in the right place
is not to be always found. Mr. Wedle is a
gentleman upon whom the experience Of
years has not been lost. He is fine scholar
and a man of extensive general information.
We trust he may meet hereafter with the
good fortune which he deserves and we com
mend him to our friends, throughout the
State, as n gentleman most worthy of their
regards.
