! tue ddl LHO1 WSit, ditSA a Nv Z HOuls utUdlt,
adopted by vote of Al to 80. Conness made
long uBd vehement speech in which he re-
viewed with much ability the state of parties.
He disclaimed any desire to regard the pas
sage Of the sxpunging resolutions as tri-
umph for anti Lecompton Democrats over
other good Democrats who supported the
Administration in 1858 and 1859. Heinsist-
ed that. as Mr.. Broderck voted on the lie
compton question before receiving any in
structions, the censure on him for disobe-
dance to Instructions was unjust and ought
not TO stand. He alluded with great energy
to the efforts of the leaders of the Breckin-
ridge faction, ever since the assembling of the
Legislature, to break down the regular De-
mocracy by exciting jealous feelings between
those of its members who did and those who
did not approve of Mr., Buchanan's Kansas
policy. He expressed regrets that some Dem.
ocratic members had been so deficient in
pluck during the late contest on the Speaker
ship as to be induced by the enemies Of the
party to bolt its caucus, because the nominee
was declared "unsound"--a term which he
said those same nltraists had long been in
the habit of applying to all who would not
train in their company and be ruled by them.
He alluded to the remarks of Wilson Flint at
the late Republican dinner, which Montgom-
cry and Laspeyre had brought into this dis
cussion to prove Mr. Broderick's "unSound-
ness, and secuted the idea that they had any
foundation in truth. The speech was q tell
ing one, and cannot be otherwise than graft
flying to all true Democratic party men. 1t
evidenced 10 leanings towards either wing of
the Opposition. 1t was couched in bold lam
guage, and was delivered with energy. The
little squad of deserters who rushed into the
arms of the Breckinridgers because Conness
was, by the latter pronounced "unsound," re-
ceived neat dressing down.
Mr.. Editor, is a man an anSOund Democrat
because he defends his own party and refus-
es to assist in breaking up it's organization by
an unblushing afiliation with men who daily
apologize for the dsunioni traitors of the
South ? Must Breckenridge have been the
second choice even, iu the late campaign, Of
every sound DemocratY If uon-Interv
was Democratic, and Intervention anti
Democratic, last summer, must Northern men
n the Democratic party now be told that op-
position to fusion with the Southern Inter-
vention party-a party most of whose lead
ers are now secession sympathizers-is equiv.
alent to O differentiation with the Northern
Interventionists. !. e. the Black Republicans?
Must the Gwinites be besougbt to name their
own terms for a coalition, while they de-
nounee every inch of plank in our party plat
form of what sort Of stuff do those who
would answer these questions affirmatively,
suppose the honest supporters of Douglas in
the late canvass are made2
1t is not yet time to speak out the names
of the time-serving serving tricksters, who
assuming to be leaders, would counsel the
base surrender both of our principles and
our organization. They may yet retrace
their steps. If however, they persist, and
make any progress towards accomplishing
what has been begnn,-if disunionists are in
vited to take front seats in the Democratic
synagogue,-i there shall seem any danger
OF the party becoming so Southernized that
National Northern men must, for very shame
leave its ranks, believe the self-appointed
harmonizers will go headforemost out of the
Church windows.
There are three parties in this State. One
bears the Democratic flag of the Union; the
other two have sectional watch words and de-
vices. The great middle prrty must remain
entirely national, or its members must and
will individually take their places in which
ever of the other two, instinct, education,
State or sectional pride may dictate. The
late followers of DR. Gwin cannot afford to
see parties in California divided upon the is
sue of North and South" They cannot drag
the National Democracy to their camp. They
will have to lower their arrogant necks, ac-
knowledge their treachery of last Fall, and
come, repentant, into the Democratic party
on next election day, (not at the primary
elections) or they must be content to be the
officers of skeleton army. They can be of
ticers, by continuing their rebellion, but they
will be without soldiersi they cannot longer
delude those who have hitherto followed
them. The rank and file of the defunct Breck.
inridge party are, in the main, Democrats
They could be trusted in the party nOw, but
their false leaders never viii be trnsted more
The expunging resolutions will, it is
claimed, pass in the Senate. l do not pre-
tend to make any prediction, however, on
the subject.
The Assembly made an important move
ment to-day concerning the Eastern bouuday
ry line. 1t was the adoption of a resolution
lconcurrenD instructing the Judiciary Com
mittees of both Houses to draw a memorial
to Congress, praying that the Eastern boun-
dary line of the State may be so extended as
to include the silver region in Carson Valley.
The Senate passed the Assembly bill to trans
fer 100000 from the Swamp and Overlooked
Land Fund to the General Fund do not
hear of the Governors action upon it as yet.
Nine bills Of minor Importance were in
troduced in the Senate, and referred to apr
propriate Committees
