That the course of John Bigler and his advocates in this county during his recent tour proves conclusively that they dare not submit the deeds of the administration to public investigation. We deem the ‘facts that, when earnestly requested, first {by members of the whig state central, . county and township committees, and secondly by men of both parties, not irresponisibly but by courteously expressed correspondence, to allow open discussion, he and . his friends refused it, as beyond dispute ad. mitting the weakness ofhis cause, and showjing his consciousness that scrutiny of his ‘acts must work his condemnation, and that / his boastful desire to meet Wm. Waldo . was inspired only by a desire to create political capital and not to court investiga. tion. 3d. That the manner of the attempt of . Mr. Bigler to avoid discussion with a ' champion of the party in this county prop‘erly appointed was a discreditable ruse, ‘savoring more of the demagogue than the . statesman, in seeking tocreate side, personal issues, where only questions of prin‘ciple and state policy were in question, within the province of the humblest citizen. 5 . 4th.

The following are copied from the statutes of the 4th session of the Legislature, and evince the opinion of the Legislature upon the justice of Mr. Waldo’s claims. It will be seen that Mr. Waldo relinquishes his right of any repayment by Congress to the State of California. When these laws passed, the democratic press generally expressed themselves warmly in praise of their justice. The design of the laws is plainly depicted.on their face. They not only repay the amount,. but pass an eulogium upon the disinteres-_ ted and characteristic benevolence of Mr. Waldo. That gentlemen must always be beloved for his goodness whatever the issue of political campaigns :— An Act for the Relief of William Waldo. Preamble.
