rHE pEmooRAT1o MEETING.

urday night, by the Democracy" was
not SO large a gathering as we had been
led to expect from the preparatory
hurrah about it. There were about six
hundred persons present; and OF the
audience there was a full third Of Union
men. . The speech by Mr.. Anderson, Of
which We give an extended sketch, wal
very well delivered and received. We
heard many Union men remark that
Audersou's speech, almost without any
elimination, would not have beer
thought out OF place at a Union meet
ing; as there are comparatively few in
our party in this county 1--WE could not
name a dozen persons Of that oelief)
who are in favor Of negro suffrage; aud
the only judicial basis on which you
can refuse that privilege to negroes is
the fact Of his iuferiority iu race to the
white man. Colonel Taylor's and Judge
Pitzer's remarks were more on the
democratic" plane, and were applaud
ed by the democracy" with customary
fervor. Colonel Taylor lead of dramat-
ically, in picturing his perils OF old,
when he was threatened with incarcers-
ton at Fort Churchill-by somebody, he
didn't say who-if he spoke his piece
on the Democratic platform; and then
be. tickled the Democrats present with
the idea that some Republicans would
have their pheelings hurt by their re-
joicing 10 general and his remarks in
psrticular,-alluding to absent ones, We
presume; and then he "rejoiced,"
muchly, eloqueutly, and with pardona.
BILE extravaganza. of political prophesy.
Judge Pitzer, who was introduced a.
q "wsr horse" aud who announced
that he couldn't help talking more than
q lady, made a very amusing speech.
He told how he had, on a recent visit
to California, ''seen sum diugs'' which
convinced him that the Democrats were
bound'to be victorious; and haw he had
converted all the old fowl-raisers of
California who sell their hatchings in
Virginia, on a promise to "bust'
the city license levied on California
poultry and produce pedlars. He
called for Bill Campbell, at which there
was much laughter, caused undoubtedly
by various suggested reflections on the
aforesaid Williams Kaleidoscope poll
tics. But the Judge only desired Will
liams' permission to speak Of q tele-
graphic dispatch-for which see sketch
of the Judges remarks in another col
umu. He then "rejoiced," and gave
his opinion as to what secured the DEM
ocratic triumph in California
All the speakers made this mistake:
they plead a revolution in public SEN
timent" in California, when in fact
there has been nothing Of the kind.
They stated the issue fairly; but were
mistaken when they asserted that the
people in our sister State, very many Of
them, have been converted to Democrat
ic doctrine. A considerable number Of
Republicans in California, are as much
opposed to ''negro suffrage and Chinese
brotherhood" as are the Democrats;
aud being made to believe, through the
indiscretiou Of Gorham, in his first let
ter on Coolieism, through the ''you-
e-ballot' talk of
Bill Stewart and others from and in Ne
vada, that such an issue was Cup they
refused to progress" on the extreme
Radical line, and voted for Haight. No
revolution" for there never was a
majority in California willing to support
the doctrines referred to: and put a real
issue Of that kind in this State-as we
have said scores Of times-and there
would be a very small vote for Bill Stew
art & Co.'s equality programme.
