CALIFORNIA AGAINST THE SECEDERS.


The of the seceders at Charleston has
not met with much favor IN California We find
the following paragraph in the San Francisco
Herald:


awe deeply regret the secession and the divis-
ion of oppionion at Charleston, but the adjourn
ment will afford time for reflection, and give the
National Democracy opportunity to express their
sentiments in their primary capacity. Out Oft
discussion which will necessarily arise, great
good will come. The ancient discipline of the
party will be exhibited on the grave occasion
where final action must be agreed upon. We
have no fear for the result. At Baltimore the
South will shake hands with the North. the East
will embrace the West, and instead of discension
we shall hear of au enthusiasm unexampled in
our political annals. Faction will dissolve and
distractions melt away before the imperious de-
mands of an intelligent nation"


Similar expressions find vent in all parts of the
State. Public opinion is too strongly in fovor Of
the rule of the majority to yield to factious mi
nority like that which produced all the d1scord
and confusion at Charleston. The delegates from
that State in obedience to the wishes of their
constituents, will remain in the Baltimore Con-
vention and support the nominees.-UaslingtOm

The REVOLUTION IN SlCiLY.-The London
Times speaking of this patriotic movement
says:


If the news holds true Sicily is lost to the
House of Bourbon. The object of Garibaldi has
evidently been to get possession OF the more dis
tan of the two great military posts OF the island
or of such portion Of it as he hold without
command of the sea. His friends do not claim for
him that there has yet been any important defec
nor Messna is fortified with view to defence
from an enemy coming from the interior. If the
King has lost Palermo, Messina must follow, and
there is not much chance of re conquest by the
present King of Naples. The impulse here is to
rejoice AS the news passes from man to man,
even among the most Conservative of English So
cieties or assemblies every face lights up with Joy
No one cares to wait and ask himself to what this
success can lead. He exults in the simple fact
that detestable tyranny is crumbling into the
dust. In these days, when nation must go as a
strong man armed, and when know
what the morrow may bring FORTH must udge
facts as they rise Thus far, the removal of the
tyranny of this King of Naples is in itself good.
What it may lead to cannot tell. That we
may soon see the French eagles circing and
swooping in this part of the world is very proba
BILE that new difficulties and new combinations
may be produced by this great gain to the inter
ests of humanity is very possible. Garibaldi may
be mixing up the elements of that great European
war which even Lord Granville last night showed
US in shadowy prospective; but, while he is fight
ing against such a'tyrany as that of Naples, we
cannot refuse him our sympathies, and cannot but
rejoice at his success

Eternal honor, says the New York Ea-
press, to the Broad Seal State. She has
covered herself all over with glory. Of
the whole North, she alone keeps steps to
the music of the Union The National
Flag, which her sister States, East, West
and Centre, have trailed in the dust, she
bears proudly aloft, and as long as that
flag waves over tho battle field of Mon
mouth, and Princeton, and Trenton, let
no true patriot despair Of this Republic.
The Nation has seen darker days than
these, and when the darkness was depsest,
the beacon light of hope always burned
brightly in the Jerseys In the days Of
the Revolution, when Washington was
driven by the enemy from Long Island,
from New York, from Westchester, and
from almost every other post, or point,
worth holding--New Jersey came glori-
ously to the rescue, and redeemed the day,
just when almost everything seemed to be
lost. A generation Of men have since
passed from the stage, but the people Of
New Jersey have lost nothing OF. the spirit
or the patriotism, of their forefathers.--
In the great political revolution, which
has just swept over the land, her vote
against the sectional candidate has demon
strated that she is as true to the Union
to day, as she Was in the times that tried
mems souls. We of New York are half
ashamed Of our position alongside of her.
But her noble example will not be lost
upon us. As long as there is ever one
State in the North that keeps the Union
flag unsullied with sectonalism, the ma.
tional men of the North, though for the
moment borne down by the enemy, will
rally, reform aud reconquer every inch Of
ground that is nov lost. Again, then, we
say, all honor to the Broad Seal State

The Tenth of September, at Cleveland, was
a day long to be remembered. So deep an
interest as was taken in the Inauguration
ceremonies, and so general turnout of the
people to witness and participate in them,
could hardly have been anticipated, and Of
course disappointed every one. Such throng
was probably never called out in the State,
and beggars all attempts to estimate, or even
conjecture the number. We have not heard
figure named below 100000 Every
means and avenue Of conveyance was put to
its utmost test, and the various lines Of rail-


roads had rich harvest. The design of the
occasion was a bold one, and upon scale,
which required consumate vigor and ability
to carry into execution, but there appeared
to be no faltering or tagging, and the result
was gratifying success on every hand, for
which cur Cleveland friends are deserving Of
much credit. The procession was the crown
ing feature of the day. The pageant could
hardly have been more imposing, and prob
ably has never been surpassed out Of our
large cities. Some Of the finest military
companies in the country were in the pro-
cession, and the music the best in the coun-
try-embracing the celebrated Dodworth
band. The r. I. regiment and band very
deservedly attracted much attention and
contributed largely to the display. The

l never undertook, but once, said Tim, to
set at naught the authority Ofmy wife. You
know her way-cool, quiet but determined
as ever grew. Just after we were married,
and all was nice and cozy, she got me into
the habit of doing all the churning. She I'm
ished breakfast before me one morning, and
slipping away from the table, she filled the
churn with cream, and set it down Just
where I couldn't help seeing what was want
ed. So l took hold readily enough, and
churned till the butter came. She did Mt
thank me, but looked so nice and sweet

it was done Just so, and l was regularly set

Just ask me, but she never did, and l wouldn't
say anything about it to save ray life. So on
we went. At last l made resolve that l
would not churn another time until she asked
me.

THR MAMMOTH STEAMERs.-The Buffalo
Courier says in reference to the steamers
Western Metropolis and City of Buffalo, q it
is reported that the Michigan Southern road
by whom the steamers are owned, propose
next year to put them on the line between
Toledo and this city. The travelling COM
munity would doubtless greet this return to
the old order of things with much pleasure,
and Buffalo especially would look with favor
on the revival of the steamboat trade which
once formed so prominent part of her bust
ness. We think there is no good reason why
a movement in this direction should not be
made promptly next season. Our through
lines from the west have need to take advan-
tsge of all their facilities to compete success
fully with their powerful rivals Of the south
ern routes, and there is much in the Lake
Erie steamboats,, with their magnificent ac-
commodations, and the comfort, not to say
luxury, Of travel which they afford, to draw
the lions share of the western passenger
traffic this way"
