T Cllfurala V.lreltea.
W't hsv converted wiilt to intelligent
gentleman from the Southern pert of Cali
fornia, who confirm our former impres
ion made by reading t!i political paper
ia rufcranco to tlia spct of politic iu that
State. The recent publicaiion of Bucb

sjnequivocally to tLo aupport of Pacific
It ail road meaiure, at I interpreting to hit

enigmatical, and, like the orach,- of Apo.

induced a few watering men to vote for
liim win were hitherto vacillating between
a Joiro for the Railroad and a ttrong
yearning after an advance in ilia price oi
''nigger. " Tlia Catifurnian (we mean
men of busineaa there) have act their heart
upon having a Pacific Railroad, and aome
of them reluctantly slick to the sham dem
ocratic party, after the Cincinnati con
vention "resolved" a plunk into Buchanan's
platform that might just at reasonably bo
conttrurd into favoring a I In i I mad to the
Pacific by the Isthmus or Cape Horn, at by
any of the routes already aurveycil.
Those men of eourao felt considerably re
lieved by Buchmsu't potiiive declarutiou
in favor of an improvement, tho favoring
of which .iu tho inme unmistakable man.
ner by bit friend in the Cincinnati conven
tion, wonld have gone like an ivy dagger
to the hearts of hit Southern atrict con.
atruction admirers.
The "foreigners" in California, we
learn, went alinott en masse for Buchanan.
Notwithstanding an Irishman had been
ahot down like a dog in Washington by
Herbert, and tho "democrat." to a man in
Congress (oxcept Kelly,) volcd to uVal
gently with the murderer, and notwith
standing a Uuchanan organ excused the
homicide on the ground that he being a
waiter waa "no gentleman," and had no
butineta lo be impudent to a "gentleman,"
the Ii iolt and other loreign luborert seemed
to excuse llcibert on the ground tlmt ho
must have been drunk, and justified tho
: members of Congress upon the supposition
that they loo mul have been drinking j
and at all blows, kicks, and cuff nre for
given after a drunken melee, the old cry
had only to be raised in California thut
"JlookhanuH it a rait dimmijchrat,iur,"
and up lo tho polls rolled tho excited
. masses, reeking with tho fumes of whiky,
waving high over head a "clane dimmy

aides, tho maiiicd, bull, aud withered in
body and mind, were brought from vessels
at anchor, from hospitals, and other by.
places, where no man but a sham democrat
would ever have have thought of hunting
for a voter. The grogshops were not neg.
lectod, but those natural allies of black -democracy
were visited by "democratic
colportours," and tho poor victim of Due
chus was aroused from hia slumber rs he
lay snoring tn his filth, and reminded thnt
a wheelbarrow or a cart stood ready nt llio
door to "tolo" biin to the polls, where, as
a "patriotic, virtuous cilizm," he must
help save- his country from ruin. Not
withstanding nil this, the great issues
which really diviilu the people of the whole
Union into but two great parlies, consisting
of the Union compromise conservatives on
tho one hand, ami the nigger-driving lilli
bustering secessionist on the other, were
clearly set before ihe people of S in Fran
cisco county by tho press, which reached
pretty much all classes and battled man
fully for the Union and the Constitution.
The result here was precisely what i:
enght to havo been nil over llio Stale, and
what it would havo been hud ihoro been
equal facilities for laving before the minds
of the thinking voters the real substantive
principles which lay at the bollom of this
campaign, the result of which may have
decided whether the Union shall be per
palliated1; whether the principles which
were triumphant in the Kevoluliou, at the
expense of oceans of blood, are still to be
had in respect ; whether tho Declaration
of Independence ia to be recognized as the
starting point for American orators on ihe
anniversaries of our national independence,
or whether, in the language of bU.k dem-
ocratio Ucltil of Indiana, it is to be scorned
and spit upon as a "stlfecidtnt lie J"
If these principles had been Understood
throughout ihe mining districts, and iu the
interior of the StataILore wo"uld have
been but one candidate voted for besides
Uuchanan, aiul'fhat candidate would have
been Fremont. The great mass of those
who threw their votes away on Fillmore
wr conservative, Uoioolovin" meu, and
,-tueir volea were given to Fillmore under a
wrong impression as to his dunces of an
election, a wrong impression a to the prin
ciples of the Republican party, and, as w
believe, a wrong impreMion as lo Fillmore's
fi'.nu. ( fu as any pledges be Las given)
to meet ihe exigencies of the times, and
guide the ship of State through the storm
of nullifying torylsm that threatens to
swallow the Union, after having sharpened
its appetite by swallowing the compromises,
digjing up and eating the bones of Jack
son, and trampling ou (be Constitution by
denying the "squatter sovereigns" of Kan
sas the privilege of "meeting peaceably"
logo! her.
Foote, who was noted it one of the
champions of the nigger-driving democracy
of Mississippi, and who now openly avows
himself an euemy to the restoration of tbe
Missouri Compromise, stumped the State
of California for Fillmorr, with the inlen
lion, as Is thought by many, of making a
division in tbe ranks of northern conserva
tives, with the view of working to Bueh
auan's baud. The Southoru fire-talera in
California votod almost to a man for Duch
ausn, lisle Fools and his coadjutors pre
vented thousands from voting for Fremont,
by inducing them to go for Fillmore, under
Ihe idea that bis chances of an election
wore belter tbau those of Fremont, and
that lie was really a more conservative.
Union man than eill.or of the other can-
diJatct.
The campaign in California was not bo
gun early enough to get up a sufficiently
thorough organization, and lo get the
people clearly lo understand that there are
hereafter to be but two great political par
lies iu ihe Union. To this it Las been
drifting for mere than twenty years. Clay,
Welster, and Jacksen died thanking Cod
that they bud seen what ihey thought to
h an effectual barrier raised to that sec
tional agitation, which they knew must
sooner or later shake the Uuioo to its center
without ii. The', barrier Las been tern
down by the Tierce administration; tbe
result already Las been civil war with its
untold horrors and worse than ludian bar-
bsrhics. Along with this modern sham
democratic policy has been coupled that of
the "0tend manifesto," which sanctions
the doctrine thut "might makes right," and
which proposes to convert our nation into
a band of pirates, by robbing Spain of Cu
bs, and by tho annexation of whatever oth
er foreign dependencies we may fancy we
waut, if we are strong cuough to steal
them.
These today, henceforth, and forever,
are the great issue that tower above and
overshadow oil others. Thoy are issues
that have all been hatched out of the great
"nigger" question, which is uppermost
with thoso who rule this Government.
The black-democratic party have raised ihe
issues, and evoked the storm ; and just as
sure as there is that virtue and intelligence
in iho working mosses necessary to support
free institutions, as sure as the blood of our
Revolutionary sires flows in llio veius of
their posterity, black-democracy will reap
the whirlwind. Until these issues are set
lied, thero are but two great parties in the
field. Let tho friends of the Union and
the Coustitutieu rully upon the Republican
platform, and let all "old line Whigs,"
"Know Nothings," and "abolitionists,"
that nre not such, sneak over to the camp
of llio black-democracy.

Let no one fail to read tho speech of the
Hon. John M. Bolts, of Virginia, to bo
found upon the first page of this week's
paper. Tho Richmond Enquirer, a seces
sion Buchanan organ, denounced the
speech iu unmeasured terms, and iutitnated
that if llm laws of Virginia were put in
force Holts would be tent lo tho peniten
tiary. Upon this, 1J. B. Bolts, a son of the
orator, addressed through the Richmond
Whig a card to linger II. Pryor, editor of
thu Enquirer, which closed as follows :

Mr. Trutob, who Las beta engaged In
surveying the 'Tualatin river fnm the
mouili to Moore's mill, informs us that
there is a fall in this distance of forty-eight
fuel, and that it would probably cost not
far from one hundred thousand tlollars to
connect the river above the mill with the
Willamette by means of locks. The
ground for a plank rend to Linn City Is
uch that the road can be made fur a trilling
cost. Such a read can be made lo answer
every purpose, and the difliculiy lo con
necting with the Willamette is no real ob
jection to completing the works. The
dam being finished at Moore's mill, there
will be a saw-mill running at each end of

The trial of Fox for shooting Crawford,
which came oS a short timo since in Al

most intense excitement prevailed among
the vast concourse of people who witness
ed tho investigation, and when ihe jury
returned their verdict of "not guilty' the
audience made the court house ring with
their shouts of approval. The prosecuting
attorney, we learn, as the law required
him, did his best for the Territory, besides
being assisted by a " chunk of a lawyer
from Linn," but the jury were men who
were not to be swerved from what their
judgment lold them was duty. The idea
ol getting a roxmto a slippcruooac, is
all a miserable Dilution.

Mr. Janes II. Clay.
This man, who unfortunately is able to
speak of tho immortal Henry Cloy aa his
father, has had his weak and vain head
turned by tho flatteries and cajoleries of
tho iNi'-.iNiclil leU'Jcrs nnd uotie regularly
into tho canvass as a travelling advocate
of Janien Uuchanan, whom at least niue
ty-nino hundredths of the old friends and

calumny which blasted all tho highest and

statesman throughout his eventful lite.

Years ngo wo heard one of Mr. Clay's
highly rcspeeiublo relatives,, who is how
olive lo testify to tho truth or fukity of
what we state, sav that even when Mr.
Clay, then in feeble health, and wearied
by the constant calls of visitors, wished
to seek repose in his bed-chamber or in a
brief absence from home, ho could never
induce his son, Jnmes Li. Clay, living at
that time tinder his roof, to extend the
hospitalities of his mnusion to his guests,
that tho young man treated with rudeness
aud discourtesy all who called lo pay the
tribute of their admiration and gratitude
to ms great lather.
Mr. Clay, upon his death-bed at Wash
ingtoii city, sent for his son, Thomas H.
Clay, to come and remain with liim till the
close of his life, but he did not send for
James IS. Clay, who is now called "the
favorite son ;" and the latter did not go.
Although the end of the old patriot was
known by the whole country to be at hand,
neither by invitation, nor yet of his own
accord, did " the favorite son" repair to his
dying bed to soothe his lust days and
hours with filial attentions and to hear his
last words of wisdom and affection. Whilst
hundreds of friends and strangers were
thronging around the house where the dy

When Henry Clay was buried out of

was what, from bis previous conduct, was

which was hallowed in so many millions of

We have dates from Nicaragua to Oct.
llth.
A we informed our reader lost week,
says the Nicaragurasc, tho allied force
having advanced from Managua, Gen.
Walker ordered tbo garrison at that place,
amounting to three hundred and filly men,
to fall back immediately en Crnnodo, in
order to allow the enemy lo occupy that
place. This they did; and il was the
unanimous wili of every American in
Granada that their apparent success would
inspire them with sufficient eourajo to at
tack this city. Such an attack could be
followed only with ono result a most dis
astrous defeat. The citizens thnt is, the
persons not belonging to the army, but
engaged in trade and attending lo llio civil
business of the State formed themselves
into a company to asftst in the defence of
this city, and participate in tho glory of a
victory. Rut as the enemy would not
come, Gen. Walker, having received a
reinforcement from llio United Slates, as
as well as two mountain howitzers, and
shells, grnpeshot, etc., advauced on to
Masaya lo give' thorn battle.
On tho llih Oct., at 11 x. .v., Gen.
Walker marched from Granada and en
camped before Musnya at 10 P. it. that
night.
, Thero was some skirmishing during tbe
night. At daylight the battle commenced,
and ihe enemy were dispersed by a furi
ous charge of the rifles, under cover of
the bombs from the howitzers, and the
Pluza of Masaya captured. Tho light was
then eunicd on from house to Louse, but
the enemy wero finally driven from the
place. The enemy numbered 2'00, aud
Walker's force 800 or 000. Wulker lost
only two men. Immense numbers of the
enemy were killed.
Ou the morning of the 13lh of October,
Gen. Walker received information that a
largo body of the enemy had marched
f i oin the vicinity of Masaya to Granada.
He immediately started in pursuit. Be
fore the arrival of Walker the enemy
made an attack on Granada, but wero re
pulsed by the garrison, numbering 130
Americans under Gen. Fry, with consid
erable loss. They then got into tho houses
and attempted to cut their way into the
center of ihe cily. Gen. Walker arrived
early in the morning and routed the enemy
with considerable slaughter, Only ten
Americans were killed.
The gallant defense of Granada by Gen.
Fry, with his one hundred and fifty Ameri.
cans, has been briefly narrated above, but
when llio enemy found they could not
enter the Plaza, they went aronnd to the
honses of seven peisons and murdered
them in a shocking manner.
Among those who lost their lives were
a Mr. Wheeler who had been sent here to
distribute bibles by the Bible Society of
ew York, the Rev. Mr. Ferguson, and a
Mr. Lawless, who had been a merchant
hero for some years.
The numbers of the enemy killed in
Granada is truly astonishing. In many
of the houses they lie piled in dozens ;
they are lying on the streets, on the door,
steps and in the out-houses. They were
killed in largo numbers in tbe bushes;
whole bungo loads were killed while they
were endeavoring to escape by the lake,
and intelligence is every hour arriving of
where tens and twenties of bodies have
been discovered in the yards.
KrThe unbounded admiration, says the
Indianapolis Journal, which locofocos pro
fess for Mr. Clay, is not as old as some of
them would fain make us believe. At a glo
rification supper given in Cincinnati, in
1S44, on the defeat of Mr. Clay, the fol.
lowing toast proposed by the editor of the
Enquirer, was received with unbounded
applause, and published throughout the
country as a choice and telling piece of lo
cofoco wit:

The Jacobin democracy, says the N
York Herald, having been struck by tn
earthquake, the rumbling and warning
sounds of which wero first heard in Maine,
Vermont and Iowa, they are now endeavor,
ing to collect their scattered fragments,
and to patch up something, which as yet
has not assumed any tangible shape. But
enough has been discovered lo warn us that
ere long it will show itself upon the surface
of the turbulent waters of tho domocratio
sea, more hideous in form than iheXahaat
sea serpent, and calculated to astonish the
people of this country more than any po
litical event which has transpired for lli
last quarter of a century. Read what tbo
Philadelphia Times has to say :
That there is a schemo on foot tn consol
idate the American and Democratic tickets
for the Presidency w-e no longer doubt.
It originated iii New York, and is being
actively pushed to n consummation.
There are certain wire-workers belonging lo
the American party, in Philadelphia, n
this precious game of rascality, along with
Forney. Mr. Buchanan has become satis,
fied that he cannot beat Fremont, a ad hat
consented to withdraw in favor of FiH
moro. A commute has beea despatched
lo procure the withdrawal of Donelsoa.-

As in most of the other Northern Stales
the Jacobiu Democracy in Rhode Island,
are appalled, and are making arrange,
meats for desperate work. The Provu
dence Journal of the 29th says :
In this State arrangements are in prog'
ress for a Democratic and Know Nothing
fusion, but upon what terms, or what pros
pect of success, we are not able lo say.
The only thing certain about it is, that such
a bargain would be for the interest or
Buchanan, and that the leaders of the Fill
more party would receive their reward
from his administration in case of his elso
tion. But there are many honest men in
the Fillmore ranks who will not be made
the loose change of such political trading,
and who say that if such a bargain
mad they will not be parties to it, nor be
transferred in accordance with it condi
tions to the support of principles that they
have opposed all their lives.
