The boiling Yancey disunion organs of this
State have suddenly become annoyed at the ar
rangement made between the Democratic and
Union parties of New York, to wrest the vote of
that State from the Black Republicans, and de-
feat Einccin, the Northern sectional candidate
for the Presidency The Southern sectional
iaction think it is all very we'll for them to fuse
with the Bell men in New Jersey. They are
lavish with praise upon the Bell men Of that
State, and have pledged themselves to vote for
three Bell electors but when the Bell men of
New York render assistance to the Democracy
by going for Douglas, they are denounced by
these renegade boilers as hide-bound, bitter.
proscriptive Know Nothings.


The Northern Abolitionists and Southern Lis-
unionists strike hands and as fondly embrace
each other as ever Latham and Weeks did.
while they pluck and repeat from each others
lips the same curses against the Union men of
New York for perfecting the late arrangement,
which will rescue the Empire State from the
deathly grasp of Black Republicanism, and again
overthrow the traitorous designs of sectionalism,
North and South, throughout the land


The truth is, ever since the sturdy lion heart
ed Democracy of the Old Dominion refused, in
State Convention, to recognize these disunion
boilers and political outcasts, the desperate iit-
tie faction as it feels its own dissolution steadily
going on, squirms, wrthes and bites Ike SER
pent on hot embers. The August elections fell
like an iceberg upon the bolters. Some are
killed, more are missing whsle few are left to
drag out most miserable existence The little
traitorous faction is already overwhelmed with
despair. They see nothing left them but defeat,
disgrace and-South Carolina And even in
this State their only security is that the State
chooses her electors by the Legislature For if
the Little Giant should continue his Southern
trip down into the ''Palmetto State,n and stir
the people up in the spirit of the good old-fa-
shioned, Union-loving Democracy, ten to one
the disunionists Of South Carolina, like the fam
atical Aboli,ionsts of Chicago in 1850, would
weaken before him IN their stronghold and the
people of that State would discard Yancey.
make up their minds TO remain in the Union, and
support the regular Democratic ticket-Douglas

The Charleston Mercury has always been
leading ultra Southern jourual-the very head
and front of the whole army of FIRE eating Jour-
nails And yet it refuses to support the Sece-
ders' ticket, because of its extreme sectionalfsm.
its ultra laca of nationality, and its thorough
incompetency to do aught save to further the
interests of Republcanism and promote the
chances of Lincoln's election The Mercury
says:


1t is the ticket Of mere faction that has split
OF from the Democratic party and, so far as
appears from the record, is without the prestige
and credit of nationality. Gentlemen from sew
eral Northern States participated in the action
OF the Convention, but there was not one, we
apprehend, who went there duly accredited by
the people at home 1t remains to be seen
whether or not the popular sentiment at the
North will redeem the ticket from the sectional
character with which it is ushered to the coun-
try. Unsupported in the North it is obliged to
do harm, by dividing the anti-Republican
strength, and thereby rendering certain the elec-
tion of Lincoln. 1t cannot be elected even
should it carry every Southern State, which is
not to be presumed; for while the Democratic
vote is to be divided with Douglas, the Wings
have ticket in the field fully equal to it in its
devotion to the constitutional rights of the
South, and immensely its superior IN point Of
ability, stdtesmanshp experience and public seru,ce.

SHASTA, Sept. 8, 1860.


SIR y notice some inaccuracies in the &C.
count published in your issue of this day in ref
erence to the examination and dismissal of the
charge preferred against Sam. Lockhart, which,
by your permission, will correct for the infor-
nation of the public.


person named Isaac Gibson came into town
from fall River, and made an affidavit before
me, charging Lockhart with the crime of mur-
der, in causing the death Of one Shafee the day
previously, upon which, as in duty bound, |
issued warrant for his arrest, and handed tito
the Sheriff. From the facts of the case as re-
lated by Gibson, the District Attorney, from
sense of public duty, considered that the matter
should be fully investigated; and as no officer
was residing in that part of the county compe-
tent to act, he requested would accompany
himself and the Sheriff to the spot that might
hold ar inanest on the body of deceased, which
did. The body was exhpmed, post mortem
examination made, and after all the evidence
had been adduced which it was possible TO oh.
tain, the jury after being fully advised as TO the
law of the case by the District Attorney, brought
in a verdict in effect as you have announced.


In the meantime Lockhart had left for Shasta
and on our return the District Attorney dis
missed the charge of murder, and substituted one
for assault and battery, upon which Lockhart
appeared before lie and desired to plead guilty,
but in doing SO his counsel insisted that in rem
derinu Judgment uDon that nlea witb,nt nv;
dence, must discard from my mind all previous
knowledge oftEe facts of the case had acquired
as Coroner This the District Attorney contend
ed was simply impossible. In this dilemma it
was proposed by the defendants counsel, and
accedet to BY the District Attorney, that
change of venue should be taken to Justice
Sheds Court, on the ground that as acted as
Coroner on the inquest, knew all the facts of
the case in relation to the death of the deceased
and could not be unbiased enough, in assessing
penalty upon the defendant, to discard the
knowledge of those facts from my mind in do
ing so. The case was therefore transferred to
Justice Shed for judgment


One word with regard to the Coroner's Jury
which you state, upon information, were the
personal enemies of Mr.. Lockhart. This | can
neither deny nor assert, ms they were all stran-
gers to me. The fact is the community there
is so sparse that had to summon every man
could find to form jury, and this did with
out snquiri lg whether he was friend or foe of
Mr.. Lockhart. Yours respectfully,

G. W. PArRIck.-This gentleman was one of
our delegates to the National Convention We
observe that he was nominated as one Of the
candidates for Assemblyman by the Tuolumne
Breckenridge Convention.


We are here reminded of duty we owe that
gentleman. Some weeks since, seeing it stated
in the Sacramento Bee, we think-that he had
receivedia Federal appointment in connection
with Indian affairs in this State, we penred a
paragraph in relation thereto We are now
satisfied that Capt. Patrick never received any
such appointment, nos sought any official posi-
ton at the hands Of the Administration. We
are glad to make this statement, which we do
the more readily, because we had always con-
sidered and do now consider him an honorable
and unpurchasable man. He, however, will
himself admit, that, had he under the circum-
stances accepted an office at the hands of the
Administration, as did Uncle John Dreibelbis.
he would have been proper object for just such
squibs as the one in which we, to our present
great regret, done a wrong to an honest man

JAMES CnURcHMAN.-Among the passen-
gers who left for the east on the steamer
Uncle Sam, which sailed on Tuesday, we
notice the name OF James Churchman, of
Nevada. We are informed that MIR. Church
man goes for the purpose Of personally con-
graduating his old friend, "Uncle Abe"
on his success in the recent political cam
paisn. Some Of Mr.. C.'s political friends,
envious perhaps of bis popularity at home,
are malicious enough TO assert that this
visit at this particular time is prompted by
q desire TO obtain an appointment under
the powers that arc soon to be. Even II
this Is the case, we know Of no one more
deserving than Mr.. G. He devoted the en-
tire season to the campaign, at the sacrifice
Of his private affairs; made speeches in ev-
cry part Of the State, and did as much as
any one man towards giving California to
the rail-splitter. Our opinion is. however,
that be has gone to congratulate bis friend
Abe, and see to it, that the Offices in this
State are worihily bestowed. Had we
known Of bis intended departure, we should
have labored with him in regard to one sp-
pointmeut in which we feel deep interest;
not that we have any intention Of debating
to Mr.. Lincoln in regard to bis appoint
ments; but we wish 10 see California remain
faithful to the Union, and in order to in-
sure this result it may be necessary to look
beyond mere party obligations, and appoint
in certain positions and locations men OF
known national and conservative principles.
Such course would guarantee tho fealty
Of this State 10 the Union, when different
policy might not only result in the dlssou-
ton of the Union, but plunge the entire
western slope into the Pacific ocean. The
appointment to which we allude, and in
which we feel so much interest, is the Post
Master at Red Dog.

"REMINISCENCES OF POLITICAL CAREER. We see it noticed in the Massachusetts pa pers that Josiah Quincy, the venerable Ex- President of the Harvard University, is nine ty years of age. This veteran politician may possibly have to record of himself what no other man has ever had to Say-that he has witnessed the rise and fall of m empire. Born before the Revolution, he was an eye witness of the struggles which ended in the foundation of the Republic; he entered the National Legislature in lS04 rendered him. self conspicuous while there by moving the Impeachment of Jefferson, then President of the United States; lived through the second war with England, and through the various political contests which have since threatened the integrity of the Union, and now, towards the close a career pronacted beyond the usual period allotted to man, he is likely to be 8 spectator of the dissolution and ruin of the powerful confederation built up by the labor. and wisdom of our foretathcrs And it Is g melancholy fuct that few men have conuibut ed more to bring about this result by thoil fierce and yindictiye abolitionism than this nonogenarian politician and one of his sons It is, perhaps, just, though rare, historica retribution, that the former should live tC assist in roaping the dragons teeth that hC has sown.
