BRECKINRIDGE CONVENTION.

Of the proceedings of the Breckinridge Democratic State Central Committee, the Marysville £xprt<>*, which speaks for that party, says : ■\Ve publish tills morning the proceedings of the Democratic State Central Committee, which met at Sacramento on Tuesday. - They have called a State Convention to assemble in that city, on the 14th ef July, for the purpose of nominating a ticket, to be supported by the Democracy of California. We believe their action will be heartily sustained by a large majority of the party, and we trust 'that such a ticket will be nominated as will command the respect of the people of the State.

The Erprai indorses the action of the Committee in calling a State Convention, and believes it will be sustained by a large majority in the State. From the indications it therefore appears that a regular Breckinridge-Secesh ticket will be put in the field under the name of Democratic. The leaders of the party are determined to appropriate the nane of Democrat in spite of the efforts of the Committee which has heretofore represented the Douglas or Union Democrats. This Committee, in its call this year, have dropped the name of Union and now simply claim to be Democrats. They were elected by the strongest Union Democratic Convention which ever met in the State. They have now repudiated the name of Union, and simply sign themselves Democrat*. The call they issue is addressed to Democrats. In this particular the two Committees occupy the same position. They both claim the name of Democrats, and yet they cannot act together, because the Douglas Committee addressed its call to all Democrats in favor of suppressing the rebellion. This excluded the Breckinridge Democrats, who sympathize so deeply with the rebels that they are not in favor of suppressing the rebellion by the military power of the nation. Hence the two Committees and their followers appear to be wide apart, though they may patch up a compromise under which they will unite on a mixed ticket before the day of election arrives. But if such a policy is adopted, the Secesh Breckinridge wing will constitute the party. The war Democrats will find themselves out of place in such a crowd, and most of them will conclude to vote the Union ticket. The leaders of the two wings admit that they have no chauce of success unless they can unite all men who call themselves Democrats on the same ticket. We doubt, though, whether the Secesh wing will be much increased if the fusion is effected. The real Union Democrats will decline to vot€ the ticket, and in many instances radical Secessionists will refuse to vote for a ticket upon which they find the names of war Democrats. We therefore conclude that if the two Conventions are held and two tickets nominated, more votes will be polled for them separately than would be for a fusion ticket. Each party would then vote for its own nominees. Their chancef for carrying the State may therefore be consid ered about as good in one case as the other. It is stated by telegraph that the rebel papen in Richmond announce the arrival in Texas ol David S. Terry. He will soon be heard from it the rebel army, without doubt. He was, wher he left the State, a member of the Breckinridge Secesh State Central Committee. When here, he was a peace Democrat in good standing it the party. In Texas, he will prove a war Dem crat of the rebel stamp.
