The fundamental issue between Democracy and Republicanism is a contest between truth and falsehood. Republicanism was the offspring of a falsehood, and its whole power consists in the success with which in the vigor of its youth and early manhood it maintained the combat with truth. The final result of the conflict is as certain as that" truth is mighty and will prevail." It is a mere question of time when the victory will be consummated. As to the triumph, sooner or later, there can be no doubt. Republicanism owes its origin and its strength to the assumption that the repeal of the Missouri restriction by the passu.ge of the Kansas bill measure was for the extension of slavery. This assumption was. false in its original inception, has been farise every time it has been repeated, and is as false now as it ever was. When first announced, the falsehood found ready credence in the anti- slavery feelings and sentiments of northern men, and every possible device has since been resorted tu by unscrupulous demagogues to keep up the delusion.- During the last two years, no Republican speaker or journalist has discussed the Kansas bill without building bis arguments upon the false assertion that it was a pro-slavery measure, and without drawing his conclusions from these false, premises. Truth was crashed down in the first conflict with this falsehood, but it was not subdued, aud never can be made to surrender. It renewed the contest upon the earliest opportunity, and has since constantly maintained itself in the field, gradually bat surely growing in strength, until it brought its foe to-the issue whieh is noW pend ing, and which is to'prove that " truth crushed to earth will rise again." In the present contest between truth and falsehood the success of the Democracy depends upon the establishment in the northern raind of one single proposition—and that is that the friends- of the Kansas bill did not pass it, and do dot advocate it as a measure for the extension of slavery, but as a-measure to enable the people of Kansas to decide for themselves whether it should be free or slave Territory. The moment this proposition is established Republicanism ceases to have vitality and the triumph of truth is complete. There are, comparatively, few at this day who dispute the abstract principle that the people of every political community ought to exercise the privilege of determining the character of theii own local institutions. The very fact that there are. any who controvert this principle only proves that the progress of truth, although sure, is. frequently slow in eradicating falsehood, Because the democracy were overwhelmed in 1854, upon the assumption that they were advocating the Kansas bill as a proslavery measure, it does not follow that the assumption was truthful. The time was when it was rank heresy to maintain that the people have any right to govern themselves. The advocates of "divine right of kings" resorted to every shift, whether by argument or force, to crush out the idea of popular self government i—just as the Republicans are now laboring to defeat the application of the same idea in Kansas.— Truth, however, was finally an overwatch for falsehood in the former straggle, as it certainly will be in the latter. What we have said indicates distinctly the paramount duty of every,Democrat in the pending issue—that duty is to undeceive the northern mind in regard to the true character and object of the Kansas law. It is not true that the extension of slavery was the object of tbe bill, but it is true that it was intended to promote the perfect equali. if.y of the States by securing to the citizens of each and all the right of settling in the Territory, and, when thus settled, to determine for themselves whether slavery should or Should not exist. This is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, as to the Kansas issue. Whenever, or whenever, or by whomsoever, a different object is attributed to the bill, the truth ofthe cases is violated. It is alike true that the measure was supported by men who desire to see slavery in Kansas, and by men who desire to see the Territory a free State; it is also alike true that some pro-slavery men expected the measure to be fol lowed by the establishment of slavery, and that anti-slavery men expected it to be followed by the exclusion of slavery ; but these conflicting divisions and expectations were compromised by agreeing that the natural law of peaceful and spontaneous immigration should decide between them, and that it should be either a free or a slave State, as this law should decide. The fact ought not to be forgotten, that whilst a majority of the supporters of the bill were pro-slavery men in Congress, many of them frankly and expressly declared that they supported it with the conviction that the natural law of. emigration would make the Territory free. This conviction was based upon another fact, which shows that the compromise was no't favorable to the wishes of pro-slavery men—that fact is, that the anti-slavery portion of our population constitutes a large majority, and of consequence the natural law of immigration would give them a decided advantage in the decision of the character of the domestic institutions of Kansas. To secure a recognition of the perfect equality ofthe South1 ern States, and to remove an agitating subject1 out of Congress, the pro-slavery men were willing* to concede to the anti-slavery the advantage which the^natnral law of immigration gave them, and'to admit Kansas as a free or slave State, as that law- should decide. J The utter absurdity of the assumption that the Kansas bill was a pro-slavery measure will be apparent upon a simple statement of the case. The southern States, being tbe minority, claimed to be entitled, under the constitution, to equal privileges with the northern States, the majority, in Kansas, which is common property. To settle the dispute, the minority proposed to the majority that the question should not be settled by Congress, but that tbe matter should be submitted to the inhab" itants of their respective sections to go or not to go to Kausas, as they pleased, and that, when as many as choose to go should be settled there, a majority of them should decide either to recognize or to exclude slavery, as they might deem best. The question is, was this a pro-slavery preposition? It was so far from it that it was a proposition of the minority to abide by a decision when it was palpable that the probable result would be that that decision would be on the side of the majority. There were far more anti-slavery men than pro-slavery men, and far more of the former than of the latter, likely, under the operation of the natural law of emigration, to settle in Kansas. It is absurd, therefore, to assume that the Kansas law, which does no more than to carry out this.propo- sition, was a pro-slavery measure. John C. Fremont and his Beef Contracts. Mr. A. A. Gray, who was in the employment of Col. Fremont when he was engaged in his famous beef contracts, has addressed the following letter to the Columbia Gazette: Eds. Gaz.—Mr. Fremont is a candidate for the Presidency of the United States, and is commended by that party who pretend to be extremely moral and who claim to be the great reforming party. And one of their standing mottos is, in regard to candidates for office, " is he capable, is he honest!" Now let us put the test to Mr. Fremont. Is he a Statesman ?—and where 8nd how proven ?— And has he been honest in making out his account against the United States Government, for beef which he furnished for about six thousand Indians here in California for the term of one year. But if it doth appear that in this beef bill he has not acted honestly, then shall we try him in the high and responsible place of the Presidency, where the chance to swindle the nation is on a much larger scale than a beef bill of six thousand Indians for one year? But to the point—the certificate below charges Mr. Fremont & Co., with making out a bill for five thousand head oi cattle, when it seems they furnished less than one thousand head of cattle. But here is the certificate—read it: "I, tne undersigned, do hereby certify, that I was employed by Mr. John C. Ftemont & Co., for about eight months, and while so employed, my labors were to atiend in person to the killing and delivering beef to the Indians, here in the State of California, wherein the said Fremont & Co,, had got a contract from the Government of the United States to furnish beef for about six thousand Indians here in said State. And during all the year while this contract was being killed and furnished, I was with Mr. James Savage, who was one of Mr. Fremont's partners in this beef contract, as I attended to the killing of said cattle for eight months, and being an eye witness to all that was furnished for the entire year, it gave me a perfect opportunity to know that the real number of cattle furnished did not exceed eight hundred head of cattle, weighing five hundred pounds each. Being thus knowing to this contract, my surprise was great when I saw Mr. Fremont's bill against the Government for five thousand head of cattle) weighing five hundred pounds each. Mr.Fremont did buy some four or fire thousand head of cattle during the same year which they purchased to feed the Indians. But they butchered and retailed much of the same beef to the miners ; besides butchering many, they sold many off on foot.— This they bad a right to do, as they bought on their own individual account, and not on account of the Government. But in case that Mr. Fremont should say that all the cattle which they did buy during the year which they fed sajd Indians was on account of the Government,—then to answer the question, why the same cattle were butchered and sold to other persons than the said Indians, as also on foot in numbers and by lots, does involve Mr. Fremont in the act of swindling the General Government. ' I, the undersigned, deem it my duty as an American patriot, to express the above facts to the American people. When this goes to the public, I, of course, must come under the bitter anathemas of many of the papers of the Fremont party; but the closer I am pressed, the more certainly and fixedly will I make the truth of my statement clearly apparent to every intelligent citizen. Any person wishing to know of my whereabouts, it is in Mariposa, in this State, and as to my standing) I refer tbe people to Judge D, O. Shattuck, of San Francisco j also, to Capt. Bowling and Judge Bondgrant, of Mariposa county, of this State. In testimony of- the above, I herein under re- spectfuully subscribe jay name. A. A. Gbat. Judgment in the Crobi.tt Sorrs.—Judge Hoffman on Sept. 22, rendered ft judgment in the case of McGuine and Place, passengers on the Golden Gate some months since, against Farnsworth, the chief mate, and others. McGuisp, who was injured in the wrist, recovered damages to the amount of $1,500, and Place, who was struck in the head. $600: [From tho Pacific Sentinel.] California Notes—The Dry Season ot 1856. Comparisons of temperature at Monterey, etvj- On the 13th of last' May, which if about the opening of our dry season, we made the following observations of tempera tare in'earth, air and water}- the instrument was an Irish one, made by Bennett?,- of Cork, which may account for its obstinately clinging to a heat superior to the fifties. Dr. Coulter, a graduate of the Dublin Medical School, wrote some of the best and most accurate data'Oi1 California climate, geography, topography, zoology and algolo2y. after bis visit to this country Iri'18^0—also, concerning Sonora and S'naloa— yet strange to say, he never took the pains to* transmit copies of his work to this country. In' reading'the books of scientific Europeans relating to California, we cdhstantly find references to his authority; yet this'is all we know of his works. The old settlers of Monterey remember his Visit with great gusto. Indeed, it seems he wits a gen'*" tleman of credit and renown, who "done great honv or to California science, and ought to'be better' known to'her present literaries. Many of MSS. are said tb'be preserved at the library of Trinity (College, Dublin—his printed papers in the transactions Of the Royal Geographical Society of London—some of them, we believe, prior to 1633:■ He died, we believe, before the discovery of gold. lu respect to the temperature we made the following notes on the aforesaid day of May. The glass between 12 and 3 P. it., inside of a wooden house, stood at 68°—in adobe house 62°—in a bucket of fresh water in the house 5o°. Temperature" of the «Ba, 56°. In the water of the Estero- of the town flat, at 72° (this estero is shallow and' highly charged with infusoria, red, yellow aftd1 green.) Water in a tub, which had been standing under the pump for several days was at 64°. Wa-" ter in a well of one of the lower streets, at ten.' feet from earth's sur&ce, at 56°—air" in tfie shade outside of house 56°—temperature of the earth, 68°—the sun was only 72°. This was one of the clear, dry, cool daysj-with winds from the north-" west, On the 17th September instant, whieh was about the closing of the dry season, we took tbe temperature of the same positions, which stood' atr follows: Inside of wooden house, 82°—in adobe house, 68°—-water in house 64° water of sea, 64° —of estero', 84°—water in well tub, 68°—water of well, 56°—air in shade, 76°—temperature of the earth, 92—the glass in the sun stood at 1=00°. The day bad been calm, clear; dry and1 hot, as were several preceding ones ; indeed; it has beefl'Otte of the warmest of the season. The temperature of (.benights of the week, which have been remarka-" bly clear, and lighted by a beautiful harvest moon,- mis been an average of 56°. The present season is the dryest which hag occurred since about 1:829', as we have been informed by some of the oldest of the natives. Tbe latmfl"a' of the Cemetery has been perfectly dry, and' liard! enough to walk all'over it for the last three months,. The country has been completely dried up in most parts, and water and grass have given out where they seldom gave out before. This has been caused as much by the winds from the north, as from the sun. The eonsequence of all this has been that our pastures have barely sustained the stock- of our ran* cheros, and large numbers have been driven into the hills and valleys between the Tulare and1 Sa-' Unas plains, where, though water isrnof too plentiful, there is abundance of fine grasses to keep1 up the animals till next spring opens—the ranche- ros have had a bad year in which to raise money from their stock. As to the sowings and > Upahf there'hasbeen a great falling off in the county to* the west and south of San Juan Mission, but next year, which there is little doubt will- be a plentiful one for water, the farmers on the Salinas plains- will show the people of California what good soil in a good season with only ordinary farming witf do. The ancient people here say that they fee}1 in? their old bones the signs of the dangerous quantities of water corning down in California during the winter of 1856-57. One pious ol'dlady talking to us a few days ago, said: "Do you know Don> Tinto, that I feel scared at what the rains and* floods will do this winter. When I was a girl, I remember in Monterey the rain falling in such- quantities as to make the greatest damage to, the country, and caused great difhger and distress to* the Missions and people. I sometimes dream about it so much, that it wakes me from my sleep."—• ■' Well, Dona Amiga, don't alarm yourself," we replied, " the Americanos will help you out this year ; water can't drown them, nor can fire burn them, and as you will be a passenger La their boat you won't get drowned out." f. From Punch.—The law ruins men and the fashions women. There is a fitness in all things, except cheap ■ clothes. It's a bad plan not to grumble—the wheel insn't oiled till it creaks. Tbe man who intends getting around his wife will have to start very early in the morning. Prosperity shines on different persons much in* the same way that the sun shines, on different objects. Some it hardens like mud. others it softens like wax. A miser is but a human version of the turnspit dog that toiled every day to roast meat for other person's eating. Hail a cab in bad weather, and it may come immediately to yojor.assistance, but hail a friend in vour adversity, and see what notice be will take of yon. Life is a romanee of which most young ladies- would like to begin reading tbe third volume first —us it is generally the one that contains the mar-- riage. The Sacramento Schools.—There are 526 pu-- pils and 12 teachers attached to the public schools1 of Sacramento. The expenses of the San EraiiciVco lirnneti'Sfin* are put down at 8277,300, on- the appropria«i»t» bill. " Why are railway companies like laundresses ?
