Judge Bouglas—His Evidence, An extraordinary effort is made by the Lecompton press of this State to claim Douglas for their side. Every scrap from his speeches which can be tortured in any manner into a support of the President is made use of in this sore emergency. This worthless labor proves the expediency shriekers think themselves not abletolose the “little giant.” He is of too much value to a party to be thrownavay. His powerful influence is The diligent search which is made for a sentence no light thing to be braved. that can convey the least consolation or hope to Lecomptonites in distress, shows that they hang upon his opinions. We shall convict these Lecomptonives of illiberality and political meanness, if Judge Douglas is any authority. The great, and indeed only argument, addressed to the Douglas wing by the Lecompton press is the Republicans are afliliating with them and therefore they should return to the support of the President. The Lecomptonites endeayor to cast a stigma upon McKibben because he is endorsed by the Republicans of the State. Douglas is not of this bigoted class, come to tLe support of a principle they He would be rejoiced to know that a large and respectable McKibben as the representative of a principle. In his late Clicago speech, speaking of the Kansas coutroversy in . Congress, Judge Douglas says: gies, all my energies, mental and physieal, tathe vindication of the great prini ciple; ard while its result has been such as will euable that people to come into the Union with such a Constitution as they desired, yet the credit of this great large number of men of vanous and different political creeds. test, the Republican party coming up . -~ . decide fur themselves whether slavery Ife is glad to see old enemies . bedy of men had resolved to <A . . friends, while I devoted my best ener.

MELONEY, or as he is scmetimes called. “Bologna,” the nominee of the Lecomptonites for Controller, is said to spell, God with a little g— Nevada Journal. Upon inquiring we learn that when he has occasion to write that word, he does use the dimunitive, and that in other matters his orthographyand chirography are not much better —Sacramento Bee. It will not be improper in this connection to contrast the qualificaticns of the Lecompton with the Popular Sovereignty candidate forthe same office. Meloney may do very well raising cattle, fattening swine, and that sert of work, . but a Controller of State cught to know something about business, and ought at least to write a fist that would’nt puzzle a Champoilion or Belzoni to decipher. The excruciating anguish depicted on the countenance of the Lecompton candidate for Controller when engaged in fashioning his hieroglyphics, is painful jand the result of hisagony curious, to behold. I. N. Dawley, his opponent, is an other sort of man entirely. He is trained to business,and will make no foul blot on the books or history of the State. If capability is one of the attributes the people look for, Meloney will be no where in the race. Ler THE ARGUMENT BE APPLIED AT Home.—The San Francisco National is particularly severe cn McKibben because the father being a recipient of Presidential bounty. the son wages war on the patron of his family. The National calls it base ingratitude. crimes. But it certainly has degrees. If it is base ingratitude to oppose politieally the friend of your family, what degree of the crimeis it, to turn traitor to friends without even a rational excuse, and use theinfluence of the position they have bestowed, against the donors ? And especially how much baser isthe deed when the ermine is soiled and treachery to every principle previously advocated by the renegade is glar. ingly apparent.

ES Our friend Hickman was nominated by the Independents, the other day, for the Assembly. The selection is one of the best, but the time is inopportune. Good men should not be put up and sacrificed when there is no show, but reserved for a favorable opportunity. We want to help our friends when we ean do them seme effective service.

NoMINATION FOR Strrems JupGe.— Upon this subject the Mariposa Demo. ! crat,a Lecompton paper, of the Sth of! August, says “The most important duty before the Convention, as affecting the welfare of the people residing upon the Fremont claim, aud upon other claims of a like kind in the State, is the nomination of Supreme Judge. Foremost among the aspirants to the oflice is Jos. G. Baldwin, who has expressed himself in decided terms in favor of Fremont’s pretensions. Itis to be hoped that for this reason Baldwin may be selected as the nominee; though, as a Democratic journal, we would feel bound to offer no opposition should he receive the nomination, while on local grounds we could not consistently give him our support.” Tue GoLpen Rute.— George Pen Johnson, the new editor of the old San Francisco Globe, says in his salutatory that he is going to be proper, polite “and use no term which he is not willing to have applied to him, without offense.” — Johnson forgets it in the next column, and calls McKibben “Coyote Joe.”— He also accuses the same gentleinan of . infamots conduct for daring to express an epinion in oppesitiou to the President. ‘This is a marvellous application of the golden rule, and comes about as near politeness as Lecomptonism does the principles ot the Cincinnati Platform —just about. fe We have received a volume of 178 pages entitled “(Commentaries on the School Law, with the elements of School Architecture.” By A.

Union or Parties.—The State Committees of the Republicanand Amer’cin parties in Massachusetts have agreed to call a joint convention to meet in Worcester on the 9th of September, to make nominations. The Convention will be entitled to more than 1300 delegates. Governor Banks, it is thought will be renominated by acclamation. Sterra.—The anti-Lecomptons of Sierra have nominated John J.

Rervusiican Merrtng.—We are informed that F. DP.

Finemen’s Baut.—The firemen of Grass Valley will give a grand ball at the Exchange Hotel, at Grass Valley, on Monday evening next. i= Arrangements for the establishment of a regular express conveyance between Downieville and Carson Valley, have been made by the pioneer expressman, 8. W. Langton. ‘This express will connect with all the ‘lower towns and with the overland mail route. Tuat’s So.—Tihe editorof the National says of himself: “We are not very big ourselves.’” Of the Journal, he says it hasathiee monkey power. ‘l'o the best of our information the National has but one monkey, and by its own confession a very little monkey at that. tS At the first board of the New York Stock Exchange, July 19th, 86,000 California sevens sold at $6 cents; and at the second board, on the same day, $5,000 California sevens sold at 86? cents. t= Two Califoinia miners have been prospecting in the State of Vermont, and have “struck it rich.” A correspondent writes that “the gold taken thus far has been pronounced purer, and worth more per ounce, than that which is brought from California.

E. Church. i . the black brand of infamy. Political Apostacy. Ingratitude has in all ages been pronounced one of the basest of crimes, and exceeded only in its enormity by treason to one’s country. Indeed, one is scarcely distinguishable from the other so closely are they allied. The man who is so lost to all sense of honor, friendship, gratitude,or virtuous public opinion,as to turn upon his benefactors and use the influence of the honorable position to which they have unmeritedly elevated him, is fit for “treason, stratagem and spoils,” and may be expected to betray the country of his birth when his own base desires prompt him. Political and personal fidelity has ever been regarded as evidence beforehand of reliability when a crisis may arise in the affairs of State; and wise rulers of empire, far back in the dim past when morals were more imperfectly understood than now, were wont to bestow no post of honor or trust upon him who had been guilty of coldness of heart and meanness of spirit towards a benefactor and friend. The interests of many were not tobe committed to the hands of him who had been unfaithful to one. There are times in the affairs of men as well as nations when friends, fortune and many objects long cherished must be forsaken for a sacred principle—not that Cesar is loved theless, but Rome more. These are events in the world’s history where the exalted qualities of the head and heart ofthetrue manand patriot break forth in splendor and shine for immortality.— But there are times in the minor events of life,when professions,associations,friendships, honor and principles are all basely forsook for nothing but self and the companionship,not respect,of men who would again condemn the craven to the obscurity from which old and true hearted friendship had unworthily dragged him. In these last events are most signally displayed the insincerity of a treacherous heart,and the cold,clammy nature of a debased and loathscme character; and here is exhibited to the pity of some, and the contempt aid execration of others, Among the chronic seekers after office a base desertion of principle is sometimes seen, yet not without the scorn of an unperverted mind But when the sacred . mantle of justice is borne from its high position and dragged in the foulest mire of the foulest cause, the virtuous indigna. tion of a people breaks forth, as when a sacrilegious hand has desecrated the temple of the living God. The nature of the act is apparent that it cannot provoke a respectable apology. Intellect and genius might go far to redeem a moiety of respect for the traitor; not the deed ; but when low desires are joined with intelligence below the plane of mediocrity, deer and deed sink to contempt, and disgust. In such a case, where abandonment of'friends and _principles are so abrupt and causeless, the suspicion is unavoidable that ona favorable oceasion fidelity to justice will not be incorruptible. This suspicion will pervade the minds of pretended friends and open foes. He who basely deserts principle and honor for selfish ends, can challenge no respect from his new associates or former ones. Oné may endure the treachery but they will despise tke deed ; the other will execrate both. A life long profession to one style of men can not be ignored in a breath without reasons cogent, conclusive, or at least, plausible, and especially when rew afiiliations are made with those hitherto known as enemies and held in disrepute. When the step is taken without excuse, one soul more may be safely alleged to be callous to the opinions of the educated and refined, with whom position throws him in contact; and to secure a part of that estimation ke has lost with the better class, if not before, may be expected now to indulge in undignified irnsolence to gain with the ru/gus what has been lost with others. And in truth what better theatre forthe damagogue could be chosen ? Lansing ano Cuase.—The National endeavors to make out a charge of ultra sectionalism against Mr. Chase, by insisting that he once said that he desired no southern man’s vote. Its own candidate'for the same position, C. J. Lansing, once swore that he would never vote fora Southern man under any circumstances—so we are assured by a number of respectable gentlemen. How does the little Deacon like the parallel ? eS Ex-President Fillmore is suffering severe:y from inflammation of the -eyes. They are so weak that he is obliged to forego reading almost entirely.

But the inquiry being continually made, as to whether I am a candidate for that office, I deem it due to my friends, to the public and to myself, that the fact should have a wider circulation. I have zerer solicited a nomination for office, at the hands of my friends, or of withstood solicitations of that character. At the present time, however, were I even convinced that my services would advance the interests of the public, reasons possessing no interest to that public, wouid render it at least extremely inconvenient for meto enter the political arena as acandidate. Iam truly grateful to the representatives of the people for this flattering public mark of their confidence, but am constrained to most respectfully decline the proffered honor. Non-afiiliated with either of the wings, factions, or parties, that are contending for political supremacy in the State, I occupy the position of a calmlooker on, and shall approach the ballot box at the coming election, untramelled by party, or other obligations, save only such as every good citizen owes to his fellows, and which requires the exercise of his best judgement in making such selections as will tend to secure ability and honesty, in the discharge of every public trust.

Judge Bouglas—His Evidence, An extraordinary effort is made by the Lecompton press of this State to claim Douglas for their side. Every scrap from his speeches which can be tortured in any manner into a support of the President is made use of in this sore emergency. This worthless labor proves the expediency shriekers think themselves not abletolose the “little giant.” He is of too much value to a party to be thrownavay. His powerful influence is The diligent search which is made for a sentence no light thing to be braved. that can convey the least consolation or hope to Lecomptonites in distress, shows that they hang upon his opinions. We shall convict these Lecomptonives of illiberality and political meanness, if Judge Douglas is any authority. The great, and indeed only argument, addressed to the Douglas wing by the Lecompton press is the Republicans are afliliating with them and therefore they should return to the support of the President. The Lecomptonites endeayor to cast a stigma upon McKibben because he is endorsed by the Republicans of the State. Douglas is not of this bigoted class, come to tLe support of a principle they He would be rejoiced to know that a large and respectable McKibben as the representative of a principle. In his late Clicago speech, speaking of the Kansas coutroversy in . Congress, Judge Douglas says: gies, all my energies, mental and physieal, tathe vindication of the great prini ciple; ard while its result has been such as will euable that people to come into the Union with such a Constitution as they desired, yet the credit of this great large number of men of vanous and different political creeds. test, the Republican party coming up . -~ . decide fur themselves whether slavery Ife is glad to see old enemies . bedy of men had resolved to <A . . friends, while I devoted my best ener.

MELONEY, or as he is scmetimes called. “Bologna,” the nominee of the Lecomptonites for Controller, is said to spell, God with a little g— Nevada Journal. Upon inquiring we learn that when he has occasion to write that word, he does use the dimunitive, and that in other matters his orthographyand chirography are not much better —Sacramento Bee. It will not be improper in this connection to contrast the qualificaticns of the Lecompton with the Popular Sovereignty candidate forthe same office. Meloney may do very well raising cattle, fattening swine, and that sert of work, . but a Controller of State cught to know something about business, and ought at least to write a fist that would’nt puzzle a Champoilion or Belzoni to decipher. The excruciating anguish depicted on the countenance of the Lecompton candidate for Controller when engaged in fashioning his hieroglyphics, is painful jand the result of hisagony curious, to behold. I. N. Dawley, his opponent, is an other sort of man entirely. He is trained to business,and will make no foul blot on the books or history of the State. If capability is one of the attributes the people look for, Meloney will be no where in the race. Ler THE ARGUMENT BE APPLIED AT Home.—The San Francisco National is particularly severe cn McKibben because the father being a recipient of Presidential bounty. the son wages war on the patron of his family. The National calls it base ingratitude. crimes. But it certainly has degrees. If it is base ingratitude to oppose politieally the friend of your family, what degree of the crimeis it, to turn traitor to friends without even a rational excuse, and use theinfluence of the position they have bestowed, against the donors ? And especially how much baser isthe deed when the ermine is soiled and treachery to every principle previously advocated by the renegade is glar. ingly apparent. Our friend, Jolinson, in dealing blows . on Sierra is hitting recent converts to. his side in Nevadain a tender point.— should or should not exist within their limits.

ES Our friend Hickman was nominated by the Independents, the other day, for the Assembly. The selection is one of the best, but the time is inopportune.

NoMINATION FOR Strrems JupGe.— Upon this subject the Mariposa Demo. ! crat,a Lecompton paper, of the Sth of! August, says “The most important duty before the Convention, as affecting the welfare of the people residing upon the Fremont claim, aud upon other claims of a like kind in the State, is the nomination of Supreme Judge. Foremost among the aspirants to the oflice is Jos. G. Baldwin, who has expressed himself in decided terms in favor of Fremont’s pretensions. Itis to be hoped that for this reason Baldwin may be selected as the nominee; though, as a Democratic journal, we would feel bound to offer no opposition should he receive the nomination, while on local grounds we could not consistently give him our support.” Tue GoLpen Rute.— George Pen Johnson, the new editor of the old San Francisco Globe, says in his salutatory that he is going to be proper, polite “and use no term which he is not willing to have applied to him, without offense.” — Johnson forgets it in the next column, and calls McKibben “Coyote Joe.”— He also accuses the same gentleinan of . infamots conduct for daring to express an epinion in oppesitiou to the President. ‘This is a marvellous application of the golden rule, and comes about as near politeness as Lecomptonism does the principles ot the Cincinnati Platform —just about. fe We have received a volume of 178 pages entitled “(Commentaries on the School Law, with the elements of School Architecture.” By A.

E. Church. i . the black brand of infamy. Political Apostacy. Ingratitude has in all ages been pronounced one of the basest of crimes, and exceeded only in its enormity by treason to one’s country. Indeed, one is scarcely distinguishable from the other so closely are they allied. The man who

is so lost to all sense of honor, friendship, gratitude,or virtuous public opinion,as to turn upon his benefactors and use the influence of the honorable position to which they have unmeritedly elevated him, is fit for “treason, stratagem and spoils,” and may be expected to betray the country of his birth when his own base desires prompt him. Political and personal fidelity has ever been regarded as evidence beforehand of reliability when a crisis may arise in the affairs of State; and wise rulers of empire, far back in the dim past when morals were more imperfectly understood than now, were wont to bestow no post of honor or trust upon him who had been guilty of coldness of heart and meanness of spirit towards a benefactor and friend. The interests of many were not tobe committed to the hands of him who had been unfaithful to one. There are times in the affairs of men as well as nations when friends, fortune and many objects long cherished must be forsaken for a sacred principle—not that Cesar is loved theless, but Rome more. These are events in the world’s history where the exalted qualities of the head and heart ofthetrue manand patriot break forth in splendor and shine for immortality.— But there are times in the minor events of life,when professions,associations,friendships, honor and principles are all basely forsook for nothing but self and the companionship,not respect,of men who would again condemn the craven to the obscurity from which old and true hearted friendship had unworthily dragged him. In these last events are most signally displayed the insincerity of a treacherous heart,and the cold,clammy nature of a debased and loathscme character; and here is exhibited to the pity of some, and the contempt aid execration of others, Among the chronic seekers after office a base desertion of principle is sometimes seen, yet not without the scorn of an unperverted mind But when the sacred . mantle of justice is borne from its high position and dragged in the foulest mire of the foulest cause, the virtuous indigna. tion of a people breaks forth, as when a sacrilegious hand has desecrated the temple of the living God. The nature of the act is apparent that it cannot provoke a respectable apology. Intellect and genius might go far to redeem a moiety of respect for the traitor; not the deed ; but when low desires are joined with intelligence below the plane of mediocrity, deer and deed sink to contempt, and disgust. In such a case, where abandonment of'friends and _principles are so abrupt and causeless, the suspicion is unavoidable that ona favorable oceasion fidelity to justice will not be incorruptible. This suspicion will pervade the minds of pretended friends and open foes. He who basely deserts principle and honor for selfish ends, can challenge no respect from his new associates or former ones. Oné may endure the treachery but they will despise tke deed ; the other will execrate both. A life long profession to one style of men can not be ignored in a breath without reasons cogent, conclusive, or at least, plausible, and especially when rew afiiliations are made with those hitherto known as enemies and held in disrepute. When the step is taken without excuse, one soul more may be safely alleged to be callous to the opinions of the educated and refined, with whom position throws him in contact; and to secure a part of that estimation ke has lost with the better class, if not before, may be expected now to indulge in undignified irnsolence to gain with the ru/gus what has been lost with others. And in truth what better theatre forthe damagogue could be chosen ? Lansing ano Cuase.—The National endeavors to make out a charge of ultra sectionalism against Mr. Chase, by insisting that he once said that he desired no southern man’s vote. Its own candidate'for the same position, C. J. Lansing, once swore that he would never vote fora Southern man under any circumstances—so we are assured by a number of respectable gentlemen. How does the little Deacon like the parallel ? eS Ex-President Fillmore is suffering severe:y from inflammation of the -eyes. They are so weak that he is obliged to forego reading almost entirely.

CuEkOKEE RANCH, August 19, 1858, Epiror JourXaut: Upon being notit fied of my nomination fé? thé State Senate, by the people’s meéting, assembled at your place on the 14th ult., in a communication to the Chairman of the Central Committee, I declined availing myself of the honors of the position. But the inquiry being continually made, as to whether I am a candidate for that office, I deem it due to my friends, to the public and to myself, that the fact should have a wider circulation. I have zerer solicited a nomination for office, at the hands of my friends, or of withstood solicitations of that character. At the present time, however, were I even convinced that my services would advance the interests of the public, reasons possessing no interest to that public, wouid render it at least extremely inconvenient for meto enter the political arena as acandidate. Iam truly grateful to the representatives of the people for this flattering public mark of their confidence, but am constrained to most respectfully decline the proffered honor. Non-afiiliated with either of the wings, factions, or parties, that are contending for political supremacy in the State, I occupy the position of a calmlooker on, and shall approach the ballot box at the coming election, untramelled by party, or other obligations, save only such as every good citizen owes to his fellows, and which requires the exercise of his best judgement in making such selections as will tend to secure ability and honesty, in the discharge of every public trust.
