Lecompton, English, Douglas and Broderick ‘were the men and measure that sucoseded in splitting it into two parts. Ip this crippled condition it goes into the approaching contest for State officers. At the date of the departure of the last mail for the East the Demosratic State Convention assembied in Sacramento. The delegates elect numbered adout three hundred, of whom about sixty were in favor of Mr.qroderiok, and shared wish him ie feelings of to the Lecompton const- tution and the policy of Mr. Buchanan’s administra. tion on that question, The latter unexpectedly dectined to enter the regular convention, and proceeded to organize separately. The consequence As We bave two tickets claiming to be demooratio, aud two piatiorms. No attempt was made to harmon zo, nor is it ‘st @)) probable if apy had been made it would nave been successful. ‘ iii Ourry for Judge of ihe Supreme Court, J.C. McKibben and W. L. Dudiey for Congress, J. N. Dawley for Comp. troller, sod H.W Jennings for Clerk of the Sa: Court. The regular convention nominated Joseph G. Baldwin for Judge ef the Supreme Court, and A. R. Me- lopy for Comptroller. There were no other nominations made. The Legislature baving postponed the eisction of members of Congress until 1559, the regular convention Geolined to name aby CAaDdid+tes tor those offices. The Re publican Convention, which was im session at the same time, endorsed the nomination of McKibben and Curry. A junction of forces in this way bas taken place between the Broderick democrats and the repu! cans. The issue at the next election is to approve or con- demn the general policy of the administration. It is very distinctay made, and so understood by every one. The coarse aseaulis made by afew newspapers here on Mr. Broderick have made him many frieuds. The lowest kind of traduction was induiged in, untii many ), dingusted with the unfair and undignified means en by over zea- Jous apd sbort sighted supporiers of the administration to injure Brederick, to show their disapproval of such con. duct, bave become his warm adherents. It is ciffioult to predict the result of the election. The Fraser rivor ex citement Carried off 18,000 democratic votes, at least, ‘while the oppotition lost no more than 7,000. The repub: « Kean vote comes up to 20,000, and if this is augmented by any serious defection by Broderick's friends, the contest will be cloee. ‘The resoluions adopted by the regular Democratic Con- ‘vention were of a moderate and conciliatory tcne. They endorsed the administration of Mr. Buchanan, but did pot say a word about his Kaneas policy. Toe Convention, in the name ef the democracy of California, pledged them eelves 'o maintain with upfaitering faith their attachment to the wise, just and libers! principles ancounced in the Cwcinpat! plavorm, and, amorg others, they most cor. Gislly approve, and’ will moat faithTully sustain, the doc. trine of popular sovereignty acd its iogepsrabls guaran. tee—pon itervention of the federal government with the domeetic institutions of a State or Terriwry. ‘The second resolution ceciares that the Convention ac- cepts the English comprom'ze bill as a fina! setilement of the Kansas question, and that any atlempt to revive agi- tation on the subject is tn viovation of the spirit and inten. tion of the Kansas Nebraska act, and dangerous to the peace and integrity of the Union. The third resolution reads as follows:— ‘That we have undimipiebed confidence in the wisdom, pat riotiam ana democracy of the chief magistrate of the United ledge to htm ana his administration ths earnest support of the people of California in maintaining the honor and integrity of the Union, both at home and abroad. The remaining resolutions are in favor of a Pacific Rail- road apd against the righ! 0! search. The Apti Lecompton Convention, which reflected the views of Mr. Brocerick, passed a number of resolutions. ‘The administration is copdemnes, Lecomptoa denounced ‘and the Engiiah bill deciared detestable. The action of members of Congress wh? susiained the “Crittenden Montgomery Dill’’ is eudorsed, and the administration is called upon to redeem iis pledge and devote its evergies to the constroction of @ Pactfis Railroad The third and seventh resolations read as follows — ‘That whie we adhere 'o the fradamental democratic prin- ciples embraced in the Cinctpnati platform of 1853 we sape- cially renew and re affirm thet principle contained in the re- solution known as “the popular sovereignty resolution,” de claring the true intent end meaning of thai resolu ton to be, ‘tha: the people of s Btate or Territory are invested wih the Tight of ratifying or rejecting at the ballot box any constitu on that may be framed tor thelr government: and all st- under ‘That it is the ricbt of the people of the States to recuiste, in their own way. ‘heir politica) stairs; that feders! office hold- ers are the cervants of tbe people, and the constant inierfe rence of tbose servanie with the’ primary aifairs of party, whether by menaces of dismissal from office, by forced le or by tbe Oistribution of promises tnd moneye ai the volin elsew bere, is incompatible with (be apiritof our constitutions, Stare and federal; subversive of popular liberty, and caleu: lated to destroy the sovereignty of the Biaies and centralize power at the ‘ederal capital The resolutions adopted by the Republican Convention, differ very litte from those that pasred the Anti. locomp- ton Democratic Convention.

Yesterday the Columbia arrived and brought news from the seat of the Indian war. The detachment of the Third artillery left the Dalles, under the command of Capt. Keyes’ and after a march of tweive days resched Walis-Walla, ol. Bieptoe’s position. Their longest day’s march was thirty miles. The heat was excessive. Their drder of march was, two companies ia advance, then the train, then two more companies, then a rear guard, cader com- mend ofa lieutepant, of twenty men, to guard the bospi- tal wagon and pick up all stragglers. Their transporta- tion consisted of ten pack mules to each company, and thirteen wagons tothe train. Jory 18—Col. Steptoe, Capt. Kirkham and Lieut. H. B. Davideon, passed on their way to Walla Walla from the Dalles, Lieut. Davidson goes up to take the command of a dragoon company, vice Gaston, killed. They had an escort of fifteen dragoons. ‘They saw no Indians on their march, until the day be- fore they reached Walla-Walla, two Indians, (a Walla- Walls and a Cayuse,) came into the camp for protection, reporting tbat the Snakes and Cayuses had a fight two ¢ays before, in which the latier were defeated. They also reported the Snakes to be in the neighborhood, though they were not seen, At Walla-Walla the troops were encimped, the dragoons and infantry abouts mile apart, tbe Third artillery be- tween them. They were exceedingly busy, drilling twice a day and preparing for their expedition. In the Third artillery, Capt. Wyse’s company is drilling as artillery, mounted, (drawn by mules,) and the other companies as light infantry. Ool Wright and stafl had arrived. (no the Ist of August he reviewed all the troops, each company separately. About seven hundred men will go on the ex- Ppedition and two hundred be left to guard the fort. On the 3d of August about sixty Nez Perces arrived in camp under a new chief, named Lawyer, to have « talk with Col. Wright. He intends taking a number of them with bimas guides, &o. All thie is well enough if they prove faithful; but a portion of the Nev Perces are known to be hostile, and it is just as likely these will endeavor to act aa decoys to lead the command into danger. Colonel Steptoe was misled by the professions of seemingly friend- ly Indians.

What with Hamlin The following 's A list of the candidates nominated Congress by the two parties, given according to the alfn- Dering of the districts, from one to six:— Dem: eratic. Republican. Ira T. Drew, D. F, Somes, David R. Heatings, Jobn J. Perry, Even B. French, Freeman H. Morse, James &. Wiley, Iavael Weshburn, Jr., Dion Bratbary. ‘Stephen C Foster. ‘These nominations do not ca'! for any partioular remark In the repubiioan list three of the present members re-nominsted, namely:—Mesars. Moree, Weeh' Foster, Mr + taker the place of Mr. W Perry, #bo has been in Mr. Frepoh that of Mr. Ab!

Something of the ame kind bas 8; Dut, though the democrate talk mucl about the effect of these troubles, I am not disponed to think they will yield much fruit to the democratic candidates. The Au gusta Ag: of the 24 expreseen the opinion Mat “tho Firet aad Six'a diatricts are sure for tho democracy, the Second od in No, 2, and also in No, i view, the only distriot in which the democrats & fair chance for success is the Sixth, where Mr. Mr. Foster are carrying on tho war with a Mr. Foster used to be a very stroug was fer abead of Mr. Bradbury bad ‘hat bave been so common of Jate years, aud nowhere more commen than in Maine, he has been converted into “@ friend of freedom,” which he finds more remunera- tive than was his old position. If he is to succeed on the 13th, if will be owing to the course of the democrats in the United States Senate, who went for the repeal of the fiabing bounties, Bat ‘for this bounty business Mr. Brestary’s pomination would have been equivalent to an ol . The democratic papers urgo Mr. Foster's Celeat on the ground that the sending of men like him to Cor grees is sure to offend the South, and go make the repeal of the fishing bounties acertainty, Thisis an unlucky mode of arguipg, as it is construed toto a threat, and it is virtually making the payment of money from the national trexsury to depend, rot upon the justice of the claim, but upon the Polisical characier of the claimants. Nothing could be more in judicious and absurd, and the democrats must have lost heir heads when they made 80 foolish amove. The Maine republican party contains a larger democratic ele- ment than is to be found in that party in any other New Englacd State—men who lett their old ssaociates in the hot times of 1854 and 1856, when so much happened to apnoy them as Northern men. Many of these mea might have been won back by judicious treatment; and it is mi- terable policy to resort to the same line of conduct that Grove them away from democracy a fow yours ago. con't like threats, and will not allow their action to be in- fluenced by them. There is evidence that Southern men sre diepored to be liberal and conciliatory; end it would be weil for Northern democrats to imitate their conduct. If the republicans bave nominated an old pro-alavery man in No 6,the democrats, as if to make the balance ¢ ven, bave nominated an old anti slavery man In No. 5-~ Mr. Wiley. In 1846, and for some time afterwards, he ‘was a Wilmot provisoist, and was more of an anti-slavery man then Mr. Washburn Ford sagen) is at this time. Indeed, it ia a fact may be advantageously stated for thoze nervous persons who think the coun- ty ip booked for the doge because our repud- licens talxso much about slavery, that there was really more anti-slavery feeling in the Maine demoorasy in 1847 than there is in the Maine republican party to-day—that jo, if the newspaper articles, speeches, resolves, and 80 forth, that then pleased the ‘democracy here, are te be taken as evidence of what they reall; thought. Tt was the same throughout New Engiand. Now, as the Usion survived the words and acts of the democracy of those days, may we not hope it will not quite fall to pieces un. dor weight of the words (which are far enough from Delng things) of the bllecas ? Henry Wilson is going down into the Sixth district to belp Mr. Foster. This, like the bringing down of lawyers to conduct @ cage in the country, is a confession of woak- ness and fear. Itwillhelp Mr. Bradbury, instead of in- juring him, unlees Mr. Wilson abould have some means of saan on men’s minds that to the public are un- ‘nown.

(From E] Diario de Is Mariva of Bavana, Aug. 25 } ‘Tho first idea doubtless was awakened in the bosom of every Spaniard on reading the news which announced to the world the successful realization of the great project of the Atlantic telegraph, was how and when the samo tele- giapbic communication will be established between Cuda ‘and the neighboriog continent, so that the government of Spain msy be enabled to receive ds news from the Queen of the Antilles.
