The American Flag. live paper, pub
lished at Sonora California. draws the
following graphic picture OF Constitutional
Democrat: iHao
COMING FROM ELEcTroN.- There goes a
"constutioral democrat" coming from
election He moves sncakingly and with
down cast eyes, as Pontius PLATE descend
ed the Mount of Calvary. He has drop
ped his certificate of treason into the bal
box, and will not recover his equi-
nimity until he shall have reached the grog-
mill Pray. benevolent neighbor. do not
look at the man; he's ashamed. That is
one of your constitutional democracy. ha!
ha! One Of those enlightened American
citizens, who, in the full illumination Of
the 10Th century. are struggling to drag
along the barbarism Of the feudal ages
That. sir, is a pro-slavery indivilual--one
of the superior race. That man, sir, is
against the nigger!" That sir. is one OF
the fellows who thinks labor degrading,
and who cannot be persuaded to work. ex-
cept during the necessary absence of the
Niger, and at the urgent solicitation OF
starvation. He is either Southern gen.
tleman" indigenous, or southern gentle
man exotic; that is to say, he had the
honor to be born in slave State, fifty
miles from a school house. or else in q
northern State where trees split with the
frost, or perhaps in Skibbereen or Bolly-

Democratic Conventions.

On the 9th of January. the so-called
Democracy of this State held Conventions
in the various Congressional Districts. to
appoint two delegates from each to, the
Democratic National Convention. The
delegates. SO far as we have knowledge,
were uninstructed. but nearly oil Of them
are of the Vallandigham stripe
The proceedings of the Conven-
ton in this District we have not SEEN
Those Of the 9th District are published in
full in the State Sentinel. A. B. Conduit
and III. II. Dodd were elected delegates
Before they were elected they were re-
quested to define their position. Conduit
was rather non-committal; said "he should
be 10th to cast his vote for military man
as a candidate." and in his remarks evil
IDENTIFY favored Thomas Fl. Seymour,
Franklin Pierce. or Vallandigham. but ex-
pressed a fear that they could not be
elected, aud "looking at the matter in this
light" he said. "he was not prepared to
say that he would not in a National Con-
vention, cast his vote for Mcclellan -
Dodd was for immediate peace" and
was opposed 10 Mcclellan, but did not
commit himselfto any candidate. NJ. NJ.
Ray moved that he delegates be instructed
to vote for Mcclellan, and declared that
fihe dem oerats must stand on war plat.
form, and must nominate war candi-
date" that 'if you nominate such a man
as Vallan1igham. defeat and destruction
were sure tofollow," and that "between
the ultraism Of Lincoln and the base sur
rendering of vallandigham to the rebellion
the people would choose the ultraism Of
Lincoln. and maintain the Union by blood
and fire." III. H. Dodd, one of the dele
gates elect to the National Convention
responded, put forward war man on q
war platform. and you would not get one
tenth of the Democratic vote of Indiana
Thus it appears that the Democracy arc
not entirely harmonious. but it is qnitc
certain that both Ray and Dodd. differing
widely as they do. were correct in thei
predictions; Ray in predicting their defeat
with an anti-war man. aud Dodd in pre-
dieting their defeat with a war man.
Thus they are doomed to certain defeat il
any event, and are altogether in a
very bad way. So be it. Rays resolu
ton was defeated, and substitute was
adopted by a vote of 70 to 81, declaring
that Mcclellan is zone every way quail
fed to become our standard bearer in the
approaching Presidential contest.-Soufh

The 9th District Tory Convention

A number OF men claiming to represent
the Democracy of the 9th Congressional

Convention were completely ignored

On the occasion of the funeral the
crowd was immense. ell the streets near
the place being full and the church jam
med to suffocation. Nearly the whole Of
the interior Of the Cathedral was yelled in
black. The tall columns were draped with
sable, relieved with white about the GEN.
tiers and capitals. and tho walls were COW
cred with black cloth. The organ gallery
and chamber were also covered with the
same material. The windows were crown
ed with black rosettes, and festoons were
continued in white curtains over the side
columns. The pulpit was covered with
mourning. and the canopy was deliberately
trimmed with white The catafalqne was
ornamented with plumes and surmonted
by sable cross. The altar was elabor-
ately decorated. The symbols of mourn
ing were visible on every hand. and moth
ing was unveiled save the famous paint,
ings go long the admiration of the lovers
| of art. Over the high altar was splendid
cross Of japonicas. In all parts Of the
building were white rosettes and other or.
namental figures. OF course. all the

the church were present, and besides these
great many protestants. public. officers
