COUNTY TICKET. For County Judge, JOHN CALDWELL....: ot Nevada City. 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 * for Coffroth, the ‘bell wether of the Know Nothings? ¥newcumen, reniomber'that James “"W. Coffroth was your deadly eneny in 1855, amd the great Guyascutir Know Nothing? was tried yesterity and taken under inition cf.man. 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. <> B. F. Ferris, a prominent Republican of Oakland, proposes to bet $5,000 on the following propositions: Five hundred dollars that Booth will carry Alameda county by 200 majority ; $500 that Booth will carry Alameda county by 250 majority; 3500 that Booth will carry Alameda county by 300 majority; $500 that Booth will carry Alameda county by: 350 majority; $500 that Booth wii carry Alameda county by 400 majority: $500 that Booth will carry Alameda by 450 majority; $500 that Booth will carry Alameda county by £75 majority; $500 that Booth will catry Alameda county by 500 majority: $500 that Booth will be elected vernor, «dead or alive; $500 that Booth will carry the State by 1,000 majority. _ ; -/ Inasmuth as Haight’s friends claim that he will carry.

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. W. E. Reep, Chairman of Comnittee. Who was the Know Nothing candidate for Congress in 1855? A. B. DIBELE. Did he make speeches during the campaign? YES. _ What did he say of foreigners then? Just precisely what he says of Chinamen now. Did he dencunce the Germans, French, Irish, and foreiguers then? Yes. He said that no man not an American citizen should have the right to hold any office of honor, trast, or profitin the United States; that none but Americans should rule America, Who formed the North Star organization, that had for one of its tenets, ‘*We'will vote for no man born south of Mason and Dixon’s line?’’ A.

DIBBLE. <a > _o “*One and All” A communigytion dated Grass Vialley, August 28th, signed ‘One and All,” is unavoidably crowded out, We are sorry our space will not permit us to publish) it; for there are niahy ‘gd0 points in it of interest. ro em; but these are piping . leaf. That German. on Main street, stated in the colamns of his paper, that he never made arly charge against his opponents unless he had documents at hand to prove his assertions. } 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. Owns Up. . Our neighbor owns up that he . employed Chinamen to do his wash'ing. He says now he has made ar. rangements with a colored neighbor . of his to do his Girty work hereafter. man should complain of uthers giv. ing Governor Haight’s “elder brethren’’ employment, when he is doing it himself. We are glad to learn that
our neighbor is turning over a new 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 Americon citizens of African descent. 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. } Constables.

Tom wields no small amount of influence among the men of his race, and finds plenty of co-workers in behalf of our ticket among them. Examiner, And yet Haight said in his letter of ; 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 . err, the great mass of the people will ; never sanction this lawless policy . which sets the Constitution aside, es. tablishes pure military tyranny at the . South, and negro dominion over . white men women and children toaid Radicals in retaining office.
