From California.
The news from California is important.—
The Vigilance Committee of Son Francisco
had disbanded, and law and order again
reigned supreme in that city. The Commit
t«e, after releasing Judge Terry uncondition
ally, and with only the recommehdation that
he resign hjs office as Judge of the Supreme
Court of the Sidle, consumaled iheir labors
and formally disbanded on the 18lh of August,
celebrating the event by a grand parade} in
which between six and seven thousand per
sons look pact. , It was thought that Judge
Terry would not resign. A few days after
the discharge of Terry, the remaining pris
oners were released, and the Committee ois
mnmled their fortifications. The Fremont
party were making rapid strides in all-part*
of the Slate forming clubs ond making all
necessary preparations for ihe campaign, and
had already announced iheir convictions ihnl
ihe Sinle nos sure for Ihe Paihfmder, Busi
ness generally was on ihe increase. The
mines were said to be yielding belter than
ever before, and accounts from all parts of
ihe State represented a larger amount of
grain, fruits and vegetables than any prece
ding yea;.
From Enropc.
The news from Europe is without special
impofinn' p. The tory parly in England were
nhoui in make another grand attempt to over
throw the Palmerston administration,but there
is nolhmgin the present aspect ofaffiiirs which 1
seems to justify the expectation that the efTor l
wHI be successful. From France there is noth
ing of importance. The tribunals at Dijon
were occupied wilh the prosecution of the
members of another secret society, which had
exploded. From Madrid we learn that the Ga
zelle was about to publish decrees for the dis
solution of the Cortez, the regulation of the
press, the establishment of a Council of Stale,
and the promulgation of the constitution of
1845. Sixteen of the civil governors of the'
provinces had been dismissed, and some of the
functionaries exiled under former govern
ments, had been given permission to return to
Spam. Thenewsofthedefinitiveormngemem
of the difficulty with Mexltco is confirmed.-
Smart shocks of earthquake had been experi
enced nl Algeria, Several villages were des
troyed, but fortunately witihoul loss of life.—
The Free Trade Congress Committee at Brus
sels had received numerous influential political
adhesions. Kars tVns completely evacuated
on IbeAlb of Augusi, but the Russians had not
en'irely left the Isle of Serpen's. Most of iheir
troops had been withdrawn from the Crimea.
The coronation at Moscow continued to foim
the principal topic of interest in the European
capitals; the foreign papers are likely to be
full of it for weeks to come.
Wo clip the following from (tie St. Louis
Intelligencer; a paper which has heretofore
justified much of the Ruffianism of the Bor-
THE AFFAIR AT LEA YEN WORTH
If the pro-slavery parly in Kansas are de
termined to disgrace and ruin iheir cause, and
to draw down upon themselves the reproba
tion oi good men at ihe Suulh ns well ns at
the North, ihey have only to continue in the
perpetration of such abominable and hideous
outrages as occurred at Leavenworth lasi
Monday week, to accomplish their aim cam
pleiel \. That shocking exhibition of cruelly
and tyranny has been responded to by one
universal sentiment of execration, against
which event Ihe Missouri Republican, the
vindicate- of all the acis of Aichison,
Strintifellow, and their comrades, cowers.—
The Republican has justified everything hilh
eito done and said by the pro-slavery men in
Kansas, but it has not had the hatdibood, as
yet, to defend the Leavenworth outrage. —
Pernaps n will employ a correspondent (one
of those who look part in the disgraceful
affair,) to defend the guilty parlies.

Professor Tuhneb’s lecture on Optica, Electricity
Magnetism and Galvanism, at the Methodist Church
°n Tuesday evening, proved instructive and amus
ing. The Professor is on Albino, and might be ta
ken for an octogenarian, whereas, he gave his ago
as being3s. His promised exposure of Spiritualism
could only excite the smiles of those whnhavt in
vestige ted that subject, and such, we apprehend, are
alone qualified to judge intelligently either of the
phenomena, or of lire Professors expose. However,
the Prof, has the undisputed right to draw as large
a crowd as ho can. ilia cx[*crimci,U are interest

almost every direction from this place. We learn
that a large barn owned by Mr. N. Short of dial,
ham, and filled with hay and grain, took fire from
■lie burning woods on Friday last end was entirely
consumed. Mr. Wm F. Robinson iof this village
had u barn filled withr grain and hay deslrttyed on

at Stony Fork.
The homo of Mo ; Jams* Smith, in Charleston,

with your permission I will correct a few of
the statements made by the border papers and
copied into some of your city papers. The
Kansas City Enterprise speaks of the rob
bery of a Santa Fe train by a Free-State com
pany. It is true that forty or fifty hand of cat
tle, with ten wagons, returning from the
Plains, were captured and brought into Law
rence. The commander of the Free-State
army immediately wrote a note to McKinney,
to whom the train belonged, stating the facts
in the case, and assuring him that the cattle
and wagons would be given up to him at a
certain place. There were no contents in the
wagons, as is falsely staled by The EiUer
prise. Gen. Lane also brought the attention
of Mr. McKinney to the outrages committed
by Missourians on innocent people traveling
through Missouri; 'Their property has been
stolen repeatedly, and they themselves been
obliged to turn back to the East. If the Mis
sourians are going to countenance this sys

On Wednesday August 20th, a man named
Hupps, a brother in-law of Rev.,' IJ,' Uute,
the Unitarian minister here,started in a buggy
from, Lawrence to Leavenworth. Mr. Hupps
had but just come, into the Territory, hacj
brought-his wife who was 'in feeble health
and leA her with her friends,' His business
at Leavenworth was to bring to Lawrence
their effects.
! On ihe morning of that day a very strange
but characteristic scene was being enabled at
Lcavenwonh City. A drunken Missourian
made a bcl with a merchant there that, he
would “ shoot a £v—d d—d Abolitionist that
day or lose his bet” which was six dollars
against a pair of boots. In the alter noon he
started out on the road towards Lawrence
and when about two miles from Leavenworth
he met Mir. Hupps, “ Hello!—where did you
come from T” On beieg thus addressed Mr.
Hupps stopped his horse and said “ Prom

Mb. Cobb:— Your liberality toward* la*.
Buchanan, and tlw Black Democracy !n gene
ral, looks well enough': (a the abstract; but,
n (he practical, tf reminds moof ihs Indian's
Ire*, which “Mood up so straight that it leaned
■ little arena iheothelvide;”’'
Ist, The Democratic blood” story, comes
down to us from' a very early date, it .is a
tradition running to the lime when James Bu
chanan gloried in Federalism, and 'was a
most bitter reviler of James Madison, and
(be Democratic party, and of the Democratic
policy and measures from first to last. There
is the stiongesl probability that the story is
true. If not literally true, it ought to be;
for the saying attributed, to him,'is only a
Laconism of bis federal oralkm at Lancaster
in 1815.
But, “what of it I”—you will ask. Truly
not much'; yet Being true,- or so much like
the truth as to be substantially just-, why not
Ipt h stand, as one of the way marka of a
servile political’life I .It marks ihe'sUrting
point in the race of a politician. We can
trace’ thence to the time when be tMd to his
Lancaster-constituent*, that he was rviaek
son man, but not a Democrat. 1 ’ When be
became a democrat, is not so clear. If are
consider the true meaning of (be term, “dem
ocrat,” it will nt best, always be a question
of doubt, whether he erer experienced that
important change. The older class of poli
ticians, will not remember the particular lime,
when he became ostensibly a member of rhe
so-called democratic party. Certainly it was
not. uli_afier his mission, lo Russia.
The “ten-cents-a-d»y” story is also sub
stantially true.' In Buchanan's speech in (bo
Senate, which gave rise to (hirstoiy, the un
mistakable drift of his argument was to rec
ommend a reduction of wages lo : the “specie
standard" as in Europe,—especially in those
European States where there was the least
paper currency in use, Mr. Buchanan did
not slate exactly what he considered the spe
cie standard; but he referred his audience to
those countries in Europe as examples of the
policy which he was recommending—where
manufacturers were able lo compete with (he
whole world. It was Senator Davis of Mass
achusetts who showed, by statistics, that the
specie standard of wages, in Europe, was m
the average ten cents per day.
Now, this was, you may say, only a blan
der. True—it wad only a blunder—a great
blunder, for a lawyer and statesman and di
plomat, born fifty-six years before, and hav
ing been in public life more than, twenty
years. It was considered a great blonder at
(be lime, by friends and foes; and, no doubt,
was soon repented of with a keen sensoof
mortification. But repentance can't alter the
truth of history, nor altogether dispense with
the fact as a useful index to character.
Perhaps, I did not state, in my first para
graph, ns clearly as I ought, wherefore (
charge you with too much liberality towards
our opponents. Be it therefore remembered,
that some lime ago you expressed a belief,
that the stories aforesaid,-were not founded in
(ruth. 1 consider their truth 'so very proba
ble, that I would prefer to leave their refuta
tion entirely in the bands of our opponent*..
I believe there is a hundred thousand timea
as much truth in either .of these stories, os
there wasin the chargeol "bargain and pale,”
invented by James Buchanan against Henry
Clay. The author of that invention, does not
merit any extra charity.
i know, well, that this is small stuff in
sight of the pending issues, If James Bu
chanan were right now—right in himself—
right in his platform—right in his party, I
Should care little for his blunders, committed
yeats'sgo, but as all these are wrong, I am
for keeping entire the whole record.
AN OLD DEMOCRAT.
The Telegraph recently reported that "a
large and enthusiastic Democratic mass meet*
ing was held in Susquehanna Pa;, on the 30th
nil.’*. A correspondent who war present on
the occasion says, in «tetter to us, that “the
statement is like many other falsehoods, tele,
graphed to-the New York papers about there
being large Qeroocraiio mass nieetingjr in
Pennsylvania! The ft cl it, (here -are '-hot
enough Democrat* ip (be County,,all (old, to
matje a mass meeting." Our correspondent
adds, that “he loolf particular pains to count
“the vast assembly,” and there vyere one
hundred and nixty-sijf men, site ladies and
ten boys present ; and out of that number
Jf/iy were Republicans. }n ltl° evening of
the same day the Democrats held a meeting
which wjjs estimated at about three or fotv
hundred, and with the same proportion of
Republicans present.”— N. Yt Times,
