Why Stand Ye all the Day Idle?
Republicans, arouse! bestir yourselves for action! Your foe is before
you. They are active and vigilant.
They work from-morn till night, and
from night till morning. They work
all the time—work without ceasing.
“very man in their ranks is a politician. They have scoured the county, hunting up parties, foreigners by
birth, who could be seduced to vote
the Democratic ticket, and rushed
them into our courts and made citi. zens gf them. What lave the Republicans been doing in that regard?
Nothing, absolutely nothing. They
have sat tamely by-watching or seeing all these movements of our enemies, without raising a hand in the
way of forestalling them.
We have said every Democrat is a
politician, and a worker, from the
highest to the lowest. Every man
in that party works as though the
whole responsibility of success rested
upon his own shoulders. Besides,
" every man of that party gives of his
means, when called upon, to carry
vn a campaign. A Democrat with
only two bits in his pocket, and not
having otherwise the wherewith to
obtain a breakfast or dinner, wi:l
give up his two bits if it will be for
the benefit of the party.
We admire this trait of character
in our opponents. It shows that
they .are always wide awake to the
interests of their party. If we could
instil a little of this Democratic spirit
and energy into the Republicans, it
would do our soul good.
ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE
or uipukty. Therefore, Republicans,
wake up; arouse yourselves and go
to work. . The Goths and Vandals
areat your doors. In a few days
more, unless you arouse yourselves
for action, they will eapture your
citadel,
Geemans, can you vote for James
W. Coffroth, the great Know Nothing leader? .
InisHMEN, can you cast your votes

Know Nothings?

Mrs. Stanton‘’s Lecture,
On Saturday last we received the
following communication, too late
for our Sunday morning’s issue. It
is from the pen of a lady residing at
this place, who we believe has taken
a deep. interest in the woman suffragemovement. Asshe appears desirous that we should answer some of,
the answerable arguments of Mrs.
Stanton, we propose to accommodate
her, though we will be compelled to
do so very briefly:
on Nevapa August 25th,
Mr. Editor: In reading the notice
of Mrs. Stanton’s lecture on the New
Republic, the old adage came tomy
mind, and I will recommend it to
you. ‘Consistency thou art a jewel.’’ After complimenting the lecture,
her graceful and easy manners, excellent language and cultivated mind,
you state that you do not approve of
her doctrine, although many of her
arguments are unanswerable. Now
will you be kind enough to answer
some of her arguments that are answerable, for the benefit of those
stated @n her lecture here, the other
evening, that God created man and
woman equal,and endowed them with
the same rights, power and knowledge. This fact we won’t gainsay;
but.after the woman had partaken of
the forbidden fruit, and by so doing
brought sin into the world, God
cursed her and made her subject to
man. He took away from her the
power and glory that He had given
to her and placed her under the domMrs. Stanton claimed that the ballot was, in this Republican country,
a tight inherent to woman as well as
man, That women were ranked
with China‘nen, lunatics, criminals
and Digger Indians. That women
had as much right to the ballot as
has man. i
We eontrovert this by .saying, the’
ballot is not an inherent right. It is
a privilege granted to man by the institutions of the country. There is
no right connected’ with it. In:ll
our reading, either of Biblical or profane history, we have yet to find that
man claimed the ballot by divine .
right. But for the Constitution of
the United States and laws of our
country, more than ten millions of
men now in the United States would
be deprived of the ballot. Therefore
her argument on this score is answerable.
She said, ‘‘taxation without representation is tyranny,’’ and her afgument on -this point is unanswerable.
Our fathers said so before her, and
they fought, bled, and many of them
died for the principle. But when
she said women had been deprived
of their rights we disagree with her.
By divine law, man and wife are
one. God made woman only a little
lower than the angels; man, he made
a little higher than the chap that was .
thrust over the battlements of Heaven.
‘Woman is the glory of; man, aud
man is the glory of God.’ “The commandment given to man was, ‘Go
forth!’ ‘By the sweat of tny face
shalt thou eat bread,’’ and to the
woman, ‘‘thou shalt be a help meet
for man, and he shall rue over you.”’
To one He gives entire dominion
over everything, woman included.
The other he makes subject to man.
Paul, the apostle, teaches the same
srinciples, when he tells women to
e quiet in the churches, and if they
would learn anything to ask their
husbands at home.
But we lave no time to cxamine
this mattee further at present. When
we can devote more attention to this
matter we may take up the subject
again.

The Workingmen’s Resolutions.
The Worktingmen’s Association of
Grass Valley, Névad&. county, at a
meeting held August 25th; 1871,
adopted the following resolutions:Resolved, Thatthe interests of labor pognire, and the welfare of the
State demands that the immigration
of all classes. who are disqualified
from becoming citizens of the United
States, or who would degrade the, lavarious avocations of life should be
prohibited, and we pledge every effort to‘secure the success of candidates pledged to carry out such measures as will exclude the Mongslian
‘race from this State.
Resolved, .That we are heartily in
favor of retrenchment and economy
in the expenses of the State and
county governments, and will favor
such men and such measures as will
best secure such ends.
Resolved, That we are in favor of
such a reduction in the salariesand
fees of county officers as will make
the office self-sustaining, and we are
opposad to the practice too often indulged in by officers, who after election seek to secure the passage of
laws increasing their pay.
Resolved, That we deprecate and
denounee, as an outrage upon the lib.
erties of free laboring men, all interference by force by the State authori
ities in opposition to labor and labor
organizations at the demand of capitalists, and while we propose to observe and obey the laws we are de.
termined as freemen to protect our
laboring brethren, maintain the dignity of labor and to denounce and
oppose all who without warrant of .
law seek to trample the laborer under foot. _,
Resolved, That we fully and cordially indorse the eight hour law,and
favor its adoption by every branch
of labor, and we also indorse as in
the interest of labor, the measure
providing that ali labor both skilled
and unskilled: should be employed
by the day upon all public buildings,
National, State and county.
Resolved, That we are opposed to
any tariff for protection, and will use . :
our influence for the success of such
men as will tolerate no tariff on the
common necessaries. of life,
Resolved;-That-we are-heartily infavor of every measure designed to
reduce taxation and to secure to the
eople relief from taxation, so far as
it is consistent with the preservation
of the honor and credit of the nation.
Resolved, That we are entirely opposed to any and every form of subsidy, either Federal, State, county or
municipal, to any combination of
railroad or other monopolists, and we
ate in favor of such Jeyisiation as
will secure to the people the best necommodations and facilities, both
lines of railroad in th's State, aud at
the lowest living rates, and of securing the bearing of a jast provortion
of the public burtheus by corporations, by enforcing a true and equal
assessment at their proper value of
all roadways, superstructv res, lands,
buildings, rolling stock oad ail other
property of such corport.tions.
Resolved, ‘hat we ave in favor of
a just and equal taxat on on all property in this State, whether the same
is held under a real or possessory title, or whether the same is occupied
or unoccupied, roproved or unimproved, to its ut:aost market value.
Resolved, That the public lands
left to the cidzeus of the United
States and te State of California,
should be disposed of only to actual
settlers, in limited quantiiies, on
most favorable terms, and that the
laws shoald be soframed as to insure
this rer.alt.
_ Rerolved That by thorough organization and concerted action, victory
is \ithin the reach of the laboring
perty of this State, and this Associaction pledges itself to effect such
organization and action, and to secure by all honorable means the
election of the candidates that we
shall nominate.
Resolved, That we hear‘ily endorse the Workingmen’s Association
in this State, and declare it eminently
entitled to the confidence and approval of the whole liboring people
of the United States.

Just precisely what he says of Chinamen now.
Did he dencunce the Germans,

Yes. He said that no man not an
American citizen should have the

he had documents at hand to prove

Following this was a charge made,
as he said, by a German, that he,the
. mine for employment, and was told
. there was no work for him, and that
. he saw ten or more Chinamen there
employed cleaning up sluices. This
charge, Mr. Jacobs, Superintendent
of the mine, authorized us, to deny
emphatically, which we did, and in
the same paper called upon the (azette for its proof. Its answer was
that we should wait awhile and the
proof should be forthcoming. We
have waited, we think, long enough,
and therefore we demand of the Gazette the proofs to sustain the charge,
. or in default, the amende honorable.

Hope he will go to the landlord of his hotel and plead with him
with tears in his eyes, to discharge
the four ‘elder brethren’ of -Governor Haight, now in his employment,
and hire in’their place four good

Sorry We can not Accommodate
Him.
We--understand~-that~ our ~friend
Judge Caswell has been anxiously
looking up the files of the Gazette
for 1865. We feel very sorry that it
is not in our power to accommodate
him, for we know that ke wants it
for some good purpose—perhaps to
confound the new departurists, and
to show the difference in the principles of the Democratic purty to-day
and their principles in that year.
V.e are constrained to believe that to
be his object, for we know that the
Judge has no love for the new departure doctrines of the Democratic
party. °
ap
In a late speech in Kentucky, Senator Morton declared that the ‘‘new
departure”’ was a ‘‘trick and a verbal
fraud.’’ ‘The Conventions,’’ he declared, ‘‘had for their object to take
the recent amendments out of the issues in the approaching elections,
but leaving the Democratic party free
to question their authority should
they come into power.”
This is the precise doctrine taught
by Dibble in his speech at North San
Juan and other places. He there
stated, as we were informed on good
authority, that the Democratic party
acknowledged the several amendments to the Constitution of the United States to be fixed facts, that they
were part of the Federal Constitution,
but that if the Democrats obtained
the power, it was their intention to
wipe the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments out of the instrument, and
to repeal all laws made by virtue
of these amendments, And this is
what they will do if that vile party is
ever restored to power.

September 27th, 1867, which the Ex.
aminer indorsed:
‘For one, I will never consent to
let negroes make laws for me, nor to
let men legislate for me who are elected by negro votes. Unless I greatly
