He was reeeived by the Republican State Committee, and esvorted to the residence of his son-in-law, in carriages. Qne hundred guns were fired from Telegraph Hill, and a grand demonstration in his honor was to have come off yesterday evening. A few years ago Col. Baker was compelled to leave San Franelsco or rua the zis of being strangled, beoause he was opposed to mob Jaw; now he is the lion of the hour, The very men who buated him down four yeare ago are now vieing with each other to do him boner, What hae produced this wonderful change? It is possible that Baker may have the prineipal say in the distribation of the Federal patronage on the Pacific coast for the next four years; consequently the legion of spoilsmen are brought to their knees at bis feet. Well, Baker deserves to triumph over such men, for be has always been sound on the Vigilance question. Fusion 1s New Yoru.—The last Pony Express brings intelligence that the Breckjnridge electoral ticket in New York was Broderick, Douglas, Nugent. In Jast Saturday’s issue of the DemooraT “Meeting of the Barbecue Comnmalttec. The Cownittee of arrangements appoint allusion w® made to a, étatetnent of the . ed by the Democratic Central Committee, at Nevada, Toe purport of the statement . Sacramento Bee, relative to Nugent’s speech . met at Grass Valley on Thursday, Oct. 18, at 40’clock P. M., and fixed upon Friday, . was, that Nugent said he had received a . Oct. 26th, for the Democracy to meet at the letter from Douglas, in 1858 or 1859, ins. foundry, near Grass Valley, for the purpose which the latter stated that be had no sympathy with Broderick and his friends in California, and repudiated,the position they bad assamed. In a subsequent, issue, referring to the same subject, the Bee said: “We have the authority of an eye and ear ' witness—who was present when John Nugent, formerly of the San Francisco Herald, addressed the Douglasites of Nevada—for saying that he told that audience that he (Nugent) received a letter from Douglas in which he repudiated the political position Broderick and his friends . in California assumed in 1858 and 1859.” The same paper of Wednesday last gives . A. A. Sargent as anthority for.its report of Nugeot’s speech, and says: “Certain it is, that Mr. Douglas referred to the subject and declared his opposition to Broderick’s course.” Several bandred persons heard Nugeot’s speech at Nevada, every one of whom will bear witness that he made no such state-. ment as attributed to him in the foregoing extracts, It is a wilful and deliberate misrepresentation of what Nugent said. He said that he (Nugent) did not approve of the course pursued by Broderick and his frieuds in 1858 and 1859—a fact which every man in the’ audience knew—but he never said or intimated that he bad received a letter from Douglas; nor did he say or intimate that Douglas repudiated the political position of Broderick and his friends, and declared his opposition to their course. Whether Sargent misrepresented Nugent’s statement, or whether the Bee misrepresented what Sargent said, we shall not uodertake to say; but certain it is, there is o gross misrepresentation somewhere, A large proportion of Nugent’s audience was composed of men who had been Broderick’s friends, and wbo voted the Anti-Lecompton ticket last year. We have yet to learn that one of these men became ‘‘disgusted” with Nugent’s speech, or took the least exception to his remarks relative to the contests of 1858 and 1859, The only persons that were “disgusted” were those who bad ever been Broderick’s enemies while he was living; who suddealy became his friends when they heard of the fatal duel, and have since taken .every opportunity to make political gapital out of the circumstances attending bis death. Tue OreGon Senators.—A correspondent of the Sacramento Democrat, writing from Salem, Oregon, stated that Gov, Whitaker had refused a certificate to the newly elected Senators—Nesmith and Baker, It appears, however, that in Oregon the certificate of the Governor is not required in such cases, The President of ‘the Segate and Speaker of the House certify to the fact of the election, and the Secretary of lof forming a Torcunieur Procession, to . move from that point at 6 o'clock, P. M., and parade through the principal streets of Grass Valley to Boston Ravine; (for order . of procession see prograwme;) after which . they will be addressed in mass meeting, in frout of the Exchange Hotel, by several of the most able speakers in the State, They . will thea adjoura to meet at the Glenbrook . race track, on the turbpike between Grass Vailey and Nevada on the following morning Oct. 27th. at 10 o’clock, A. M., when . the people will be addressed upon the po. Jitieal issues of the day, until balf-past 12 o'clock, when feasticg will take the place of reasoning, for some two hours; after which, able gentlemen will resume the discussions and continue until twilight; at which time a procession will be formed in maguificent style and ptoceed to Nevada City, perambulating through the principal streets by TorcuLicut, after which they will resolve themselves into Mass Meeting and listen to eloquent and able speakers on the line of Broad and Pine streete. The following Committees were raised for the purpose of carrying into effect the above programme: Printing and Music—J. C. Palmer. Yorches aud Traneparences—C. M. Smith, nal a Valley, and J. B.

Negotiations for that purpose were pending at last accounts, but nothing bad been definitely agreed upon. Ifthe arrangement is effected, and the State is carried against Lincoln, the electoral vote will be cast, 22 for DougJas, 10 for Bell, and 3 for Brdekioridge. It is understood, however, in caee there is no election by the people, that the Douglas and Bell Electors will vote in such a manner as to exclude the names of Breckinridge and Lane from going before the House and Senate, thus rendering the election of eitifer ‘of the Secession candidates impossible, Carrornep.—We learn from the Marysville Democrat that Mr. E.
