Position OF che National Democracy.

The Douglas Democracy may be truly
called the conservative party of the pres
ent-stoFmy times--the balance wheel of the
Federal Government in the crisis which as.
sails it. But for the noble stand taken by
MIR. Douglas it is not sure that the Admins
tration could have received the suuanirnOus
support which is rendered IL against rebel
lion from. nineteen Staiessof the UnOn.
There are two opinions 10 regard to the mo
tive which prompted the leading secession
lists in getting up this civil war. One is
that il was directly caused by the hatred
which the Southern people bear toward the
Republican party. This the Southern lead
ers furnished Us themselves, and but few
months ago it was responded 10 by vast
number OF Northern politicians The other
is, that secession is but the execution OF
an old theory which distrusted the liberal
freedom Of American institutions ms fatal
10 its tendencies to the aristocratic and
governing class in the South. This we be-
lieve TO be the real motive of secession and
father OF the Cotton COnfederacy aud 90
this opinion do we believe the reasoning
classes are everywhere coming-that tbr
leaders of the rebellion are less exasperated
with The Republican party than dspleased
with the fundamental basis of the Republic.
So long as they restricted their action
against what they deemed Republican az
gresson, within the limits of constitutional
opposition, no man resisted interference
with their rights more manfully than Judge
Douglas. But when they claimed secession
aud separate sovereignty as one Of those
rights, he was among the foremost to resist
them, aud counselled that the whole power
Of the Government, IL needed, be employed
to that end. Mr.. Douglas had been the fife
long opponent of the Republicans. and
when he thus voluntarily gave himself TO
the Administration Of their choice, the enc
mics of treason felt that the Government
was safe. The voice OF. the potent Senator
made loyalty unanimous with twenty mil
lions Of freemen. II removed all pretexts
which the fanatical at home or the interest
ed commercial Powers of Europe might
seek to denounce the struggle as "war
upon Slavery" Party spirit was sunk,
and the whole North felt and acted as one
man. This great conservative party mum
bers millions yet, though its leader be gone
aud It's hosts scattered The country can
not afford to despise their counsel per-
manent peace cannot be conquered without
their aid. Without them this war would
lose its dignity and the Government its
unity.-[San Andreas Independent.

A HIsTORIcAL GUN.-The Virginia City
Enterprise of the 29th ult. says: A man
named Sheldon brought brass bOwiizer.

and offered TO dispose Of IL for $500. Fail

up to Gold Hill. Some of our citizens hear
ing of it's arrival, went down there with
purchase money and nipped It before the
Gold Hill folks we're aware OF il. IL will
be used on the Fourth. There is quite
history connected with that cannon. Free
mont, in lS43, when attempting to find a
central pass across the Sierras, owing to the
reduced state Of bis animals. was compelled
10 leave this hOwi,zer. Il always WAS an
object of wonder TO the Indians IN that VI
cinily. They burnt the carriage and carried
off most Of the irons, but the cannon was too
heavy for them to manage. Capt Truckse,
the old Pah-Utah chief, bad a wonderful
idea of its power, and repeatedly requested
the whites to 20 with him aud get 1t. Old
Peter Lassen, who was with Fremont at the
time il was left, just before his death, tried
TO get up party to go after it.

The INDIAN WAR IN HuMBoLDT.-The
Humboldt Times of June 22d gives the fol-
lowing particulars
Since Lieut.. Collins has taken the field
he has been remarkably successful; at every
Indian ranch be has attacked, all the war
rOrs have been killed, wounded. or driven
from the field. In oil one hundred and sew
enteen, aud a number wounded.
The most stringent orders have been en-
forced that none but hostile Indians should
be attacked, and we have it from good au-
thority that no Indians but those guilty of
outrage upon the whites have been molest-
ed.
The troops have followed the Indians
night aud day, packing their provisions and
blankets Oh their backs. Lassic's band
the most formidable 10 the mouDtains-have
been driven from their strongholds, aud
four OF their number killed. They have
been taught that they can be found and
punished. Three men Of this command
have been wounded, fortunately none NOR
tally. The Indians will fight when sur
rounded, which is the plan always adopted
by the troops.
Since last advices the following items
have been received.
In the engagement on the 30th ult.--John
Stuart was wounded in the hand by an ar
row.
On the 10th inst. was found where fifteen
horses and two mules bad been killed. These
animals we're the property Of II. p. Lara
bee. They we're stolen from bis ranch
near Vac Duzen Creek in April last.
The 10th, Lassic's was attacked and com.
pletely rOuted-four of their number killed.
Corporal Larrabee, of the volunteers, seri-
Ously wounded In the arm with an arrow.
Ga the 18th inst. ranch was attacked
near Kettinsbou, which resulted 10 the
death of six warriors Several hundred
pounds of fresh pork was found in this

PAssoyER.-The Jewish Passover COM
menced yesterday evening and lasts eight days.
The period is observed in commemoration of
the deliverance of the children of Israel from
bondage in Egypt, and their miraculous pass
age through the Red Sea. During the Passo-
yer all faithful Israelites eat unleavened bread,
and abstain from their usual allowance Of lager;
but the period is not considered remarkably sa-
cred, and the most Of our Jewish citizens pass
over its observance.
RAIN.-It has been raining steadily since
last Saturday morning, and we presume more
water has fallen than in the same length of
time during the winter. Deer creek is now
running full of water, and the storm will un-
doubtedly raise the Sacramento to an unusual
height.

other week, on account of the storm, but par
ties holding tickets were dissatisfied to have it
again postponed, and the numbers we're drawn.
