"THE NATION. We have received the
first number of this new Democratic paper
published every morning in San Francisco
Sunday excepted by Urmy & Barcklay The
editor, though the fact is not announced in
the paper, is George G. Gorham late of this
city. Mr.. Gorham is brilliant and forcible
writer. and well posted both in politics and
literature. The Nation carries at its mast
head, the names of the Democratic nominees
-Douglas and johnson. From its editorial
columns we clip the following:


With full confidence that the Democracy
of San Francisco and of the State, will sus-
tain daily newspaper in this city, in which
they can find the unchanged creed Of the
party defended we issue this morning morn
ing the first number of the Nation We do
not enter the newspaper field for the cam
pain merely, but our new experiment is on a
basis which will insure permanency if it sue
ceeds in deserving support. We hope to be
OF some service in the great battle now being
fought between the National Democracy on
the one SIDE, and the Northern and Southern
Federalits on the other. Non-intervention
is Democracy; Intervention is Federalism -
The rights of the people are the rights of the
States. Under Democratic rule, these rights
will be saeredly guarded, and the Federal
Government will never attempt to tyranize
over an organized community of American
citizens, by forcing upon them either Will
mot Provso or a Slave Code. We send out
a large edition of the first number of the Ma
ton, and rely upon such assistance from our
f-iends in the various localities throughout
the State, as will prevent any necessity for
reducing the number to be issued hereafter.
