Now AND THEN.-In 1857, the Abolition
party in this State adopted the following res,
oution as part of their platform:
Resolred, That Slavery in the slave States de-
pend solely upon State laws for its existence; and
that Congress has no power to modify, change, or
repeal such laws, and is not responsible therefor
We are therefore opposed to all interference with
slavery in the slave States"
In 1868 they adopted the following
Resolved. That we heartily endorse the Prcsi-
dents Proclamation of Freedom. of Janury |
1868, believing it to be a wise and proper war
measure and step onward in the cause of civli-
zation and human progress.

The NATIONAL DEBr.-We give below the
opinion of a correspondent in regard to the
present amount of the national debt. If we
are not greatly mistaken, 1haldeus Stevens
who might be supposed to know, declared
over year ago, that the debt was then
81 100000. There is good reason to
estimate the debt now not only at two thou
sand millions, but at sum fifty per cent
higher:
Editors California Republican - The
statement of Governor Downey that the ex-
penditure Of the government for the war was
over two thousand millions of dollars, has
been represented by the administration pal
pers as very incorrect.
The official statement of the national debt
on the first of July is over eleven hundred
thousand dollars; to this we should add the
revenue and income of the government for
two years and half The income from all
sources is at present about one million dol
lars per day. Probably we may add safely
seven hundred millions for receipts, making
81, 600,000,O00; add further $3,OOO,OOO a
day for July, and we have $92 900, 900
more, or i'll all, 81 800, 100000 up to the first
of August. After all, Governor Downevs
estimate is not very wide off the mark.

has become fully developed When the
chloroform has fully evaporated, which it
readily does, there is left thin elastic film
OF India rubber over the face. This the pa

AMERICAN BAR.-A friend writing us
from this Bar, which is on the North Fork

work of the united democracy is progress

ranks. The people are tireing Of the vile
and iuhamatory course Of the abotionists,
whose whole object seems to have been to
excite the bitteres: animosties between diff
ferent sections of the Union, and between
citizen and citizen; bu the democracy in
tend to show that such course will no
longer be tolerated. They intend to learn
the abolition traitors that the principles of
Thomas Jefferson shall govern on this coast
as well as in the Empire State Of New
York, under the gallant Seymour. Wash

Of democratic victory, and California in
September next, will re-echo it back in ;hun'

Eg- The following is an extract from
speech made by Mr. M. B. Lowry, member
of the Pennsylvania State Senate, at Loyal
League meeting in Philadelphia few even-
ings since:
"This war is for the African and his race
The six hundred colored men who have
recently fallen have elevated the race. For
all know, the Napoleon Of this war may
be done up in black package. Iaughter.)
We have no evidence of his being done up
in white one as yet. When this war was
no larger than my hand, said that if any
negro would bring me bis disloya mas,
ter's head | would give him one hundred
and sixty-three acres of his disoyal masters
plantation. daughter and applause) The
man who talks of elevating the negro would
not have to elevate him very much to make
him equal to himself"
To think that an audience of white men
could cheer and countenance the utterance Of
such sentiments! We commend this extract
to the Democrats who are tempted to ioin
this co-called Loyal League. To this com.
plexion would they have come at last.

EASTERN NEWS.

Gen. Lee with his army appears to have
Withdrawn towards the Rappahannock, and
no news of Importance is expected from the
Potomac for some time.
The following is an extract from a letter
from an officer aboard the Chippewa, dated
Charleston Harbor, July 10th: The work of
the fleet yesterday was play compared with
the charge made by the land forces in the
face of a fire from Wagner and Sumter. If
it had been made an hour earlier than it vas
Wagner would now be ours. After they got
in the Fort it was so dark, so those say who
lived to get out again, that the rebels fired on
rebels as we'll as Union men-Sumter killing
as many rebels as it did of OUR men, and our
batteries killing and wounding as many
friends as foes. The carnage, for it cannot be
called anything else, was awful. Onr loss
was from 700 to 1000 killed, wounded and
missing. The Fifty y-fourth Massachusetts, Reg
iment (coored) had all but six officers killed,
wounded or captured. Our men were in the
fort for nearly two hours. 1t was nothing
but confusion and darkness that obliged them
to get out.
The rebels under Pegram have again inva'
ded Kentucky, causing considerable excite

JUDICIAL ELECTION When the Consti
tuition Of the State was amended so as TO
disconnect the election of the Judiciary
from the election Of political officers, it was
the intention no doubt to remove the elecl
ton of Judicial officers as far as possible
from the influence of the political arena.
Viewing it in this light and for the purpose
of more fully complying with the spirit Of
our State Constitution, the Democratic State
Central Committee, which met in San Fran
cisco on Friday, the oath ult. passed a reso
luton recommending the Democratic editors
to withdraw the Judicial .ticket.from their
columns until after the political election in
September. 1t is very proper that it should
be DONE
The Sacramento Republican remarks upon
this subject
"The Democratic Convention did not
select their candidates for judicial Offices as
partzans or reward for partizan services,
but with special reference to their fitness for
the position as able jurists and unimpeacha-
bic integrity Of character. We have ample
time to discuss their merits between the
political and judicial elections, the candidates
in the meantime being left free to take such
part in the political election as their several
tastes or judgments may dictate without
the imputation of degrading the judiciary
by personal electioneering or canvassng
their own merits for a seat upon the Supreme
Bench. When the proper time comes for
discussing the merits of our several candi-
dates we have nothing to lose by comparison
with the candidates Of the oppositon; and
it is proper to say that the committee were
actuated to the Withdrawal Of these candi'
dates by no consideration of party policy,
but simply by the apparent propriety Of
their course in Difference to the clear mean
ING and intent Of the Constitution"
