Foreigners and the Administration. After reading everything that has fallen in our hands coming from the AdMinistration side relative to the doctrines ect forth in the letters of General Cass oa naturalization questions, we sum the argument up in the following two propositions, one of which involves a question of international law.and the other is a mere assertion of national policy, First. it is declared that it would be sidiculous for our government to claim the natives of other countries, who, owing military or other service to those countries, had come to our shores and had taken upon themselves the rights and dniies of American citizenship, be-~ eause it would be intermeddling with the municipal regulations of other nations, which is not sanctioned by any international code. Second, it would be ridiculous as well as perilous to attempt to carry out the doctrines laid down by Jeln M. Botts, because we have not the powerto sup. port our pretensions, and would bring npon us the combined armaments of Europe. To these points are the administration arguments principally directed. We shall offer a few brief remarks on these “impregnable” points. As to the allegation that protection to an American citizen abroad may he an interference with the municipal regulations of other countries, we have to say that uo country has aright to municipal regulations that contravene the Jaws of nations. Admit the proposition that every country can establish municipal laws of such import, and yon deny the right ofa nation to defend its native born subjects while on a foreign soil.— National laws are superior to local or municipal when the rights of citizenship eome within their scope. as is always the ease. It may be urged that the position taken by John M. Botts, that an adopted citizen is entitled to every protection due the native born, is not sanctioned by international law. Itimay Le true that by notreaty hasthe American doctrine of . denationalization been directly admitted; . but there are instances where foreign . . the kind of wood of which the head was governments havc aceccedto the American doctrine when the United States; have demanded the liberation of naturalized citizens impressed into service in the land of their nativity—a service froin which they escaped and which was elaimed to be still due. These instances furnish precedents; they establish a sufGcient recognition of the righteousness ofthe American doctrine of naturalization for all practical purposes and will answer instead of actual treaty stipulaIt seems clear that he United States are not bound to know what obligations a foreigner is under to the country of his birth at the time tions on tho point. he applies for American citizenship — The presumption is that he comes to our shores with the consent of his govHe with its consent or escapes by its neglzet, and ernment. either comes in cither case it should not take advantaze of its own errors of omission or commission. As tothe second point in the argument, thatit would be ridiculous and perilous to attempt protection of naturalized citizens in certain cases, on the ground of want of power, we suggest that the proposition itselfis both ridicuous and cowardly. nvolved is one of right, and no nation The question only hich aspires to honorable greatness vill take into consideration the alterna~ives of disaster and disgrace. The Jnited States have the power, and if her citizens have a right to protection hat power should be used in their deense. mow.The time to assert our right is Every consideration of policy so While the European powers are exhausing themselvesin bloody wars declares. s the time for us to obtair a clear recs pguition of the rights of our citizens, — Ihe idea that France or Austria wili nd fleets and armies to fight us long nd determinedly in preference to surreering a few dozen soldiers out of thein millions in arms is simply absurd. They have all the wars they can attend to, nd would rather surrender ten thousnd men ona reasonable demand, than have a war with America, Casin Bernt.—The cabin of Rogers, wie and Williams, on Christmas Hill ear Little York. caught{fire on Tuesday ight and was entirely consumed toether with its contents.

We publish some portions of Broder. ick’s reply, which will be appreciated by all who know anything about Kirkpat For an offhand effort and coming from one whom want rick’s style cf eloquence. the Administration presses are makin g fun of as a public speaker, it is particularly good. “Kirk’s” speech shoula be read to get the entire good of Broderick’s reply, but we have not room for it. Mr. Broderick said—Fellow citizens : I am very sorry that I ventured to challenge this eloquent gentleman to discuss the questions which are now agitating the public mind, or sought from him an explanation of his vote on the resolutions sent to me by the last legislature And Iam sorry, not on my own account, but upon his, since he manifests such sensitiveness at the style of the remarks in which Icalled him outWhy should he get so excited? Although he gives no substantial reasons for his vote on the resolutions urging my resignation he evidently comes upto the expectations of his friends; and I canascure him that his merits asa public speaker have not neen underrated by the political oppo~ nents who have speken of him in my presence. I spoke of him pleasantly not speeringly, as a man who was accustomed to the delivery of Fourth of July speeches, at which he rises in high dudgeon ; yet he confesses the habit attri~ buted to him, and gives a practical confirmation to the repoit which I repeated, by indulging in a genuine Independence Day effusion. [Applause and laughter. ] I am gratified by the sample, though it answers no solid purpose on this occasion. The gentleman is full of irony, as I judge from his tone of voice; but his great forte is, unquestionably, im the fancy line. He ascends to the heavens, and takes the largest orbs, and even whole constellations into the service of his imagination, andthen pays a complimentary and loving visit to the bones of our Revolutionary aucestors. [Laughter and appleuse. He sarcastically speaks of me asa “Gigantic Ajax;” but he is undoubtedly sincere when he ealis Mr. Buchanan a “Giant,” “Gibralter herself,” and a “rolling orb,” which shall continue to shive for a considerable time after these candles shall have burnt into their sockets. I have no doubt but that you were all considerably pained when the charming orator refused to allow the center of our solar system to stand asa representative of our Federal Government. Then this Administration is a “heart of oak,’”’ bobs bing away ina “hickory frame” and getting up his excellent illustration I very much wonder that he didn’t name composed. [Applause.] Now I suppose that Lmight without huwiliation, confess that L was unable to cope with this rhetorician. the variety of whose figmes puzzles mo if it does not facinate you. But 1 came here to deal in facts, not to make flourishes; to use figures, which do not lie, not to amuse mysclf or weary you by strained figures of speech. He inquires if the Staée is to suffer from a federal despotism ? I repeat the question with emphasis: Shall we be crushed out by a federal despotism? Shall the hordes from tke Custom House be permitted to gather at our State Capitai and cajole, purehase, or frighten legislators to voting for resolutions of instruction which are obnoxions to all the informedand honest men in the State? Shall Custom House money continue to subsidize the press in the interior 2? ard shali agents be supplied with Federal funds to enable them to traverse the State and engage in the business of making tke influencing misstatements, so thatthe people are induced to vote improperly and without a fair knowledge of the issues involved? Shail custom house emissaries,and those sympathizing with the sectional opinions there fostered, be allowed to steal into our Legislature, nuder cover of the name of Popular Sovereignty, and then turn round and denounce a United States Senator because he acted in accordance with the priacipies which they professed inthe canvass? I am the men who wants toknow whether we are to be overridden by the Federal Government. I was at Washington at the time the Lecompton Constitution reached that place, and I know its history and purpose. But the gentlemen earries his doctrine of instrnetion so far as to make it a very curious “sheet anchor of our liberties.” He says that no matter whether the instruction are right or wrong, the instructed Senator must obey or resign. ‘Chen, while the Legislature is in session the United States Senators are at the mercy of that body, and must bow to its capricious, unwarranted and positively unrighteous recommendations, or leave hisseat to be filled by a successor less scrupulous of his honor, What doctrine is this, and who gives us prece dent for such extreme and ridiculous notions? The gentleman dissatisfied with the name of Senator, brings in another term, which usually bears a dis-~ tinct signification ; he would eall me “Embassador.” Allow me to suggest that such a pliant creature of a creating Legislature as he would have a United States Senator tohe should be called neither a Senator nor an Embassador but a tool. When an issue is fairly placed aud decided upon by the people, and that decision is expressed in the Representatives and Senators elected to the State Legislature, I will obey instructions or resign. OO Mr. Kirkpatrick mounted the stump a second time and indulged in some desul tory remarks when Mr. Brod eriek res turned to the charge beginning in the following style z Fellow citizens: Jimmy Buchanan hashad another eulegy; butthis time thestars have been allowed to roll on uumolested in. their aceustomed orbits, nor has the orator again buried hirgel among the bones of our fathers, come before you to express my deep re~ gret at having eve: invited Mr, Kirkpatiick to this stand. When I rose to address you this evening, I supposed ‘hat he would take pleasure in mounting the rostrum and soberly and pertinently speaking to the proper political matters which engrosses our attention during this campaign. Nothing of this kind is presentedto me Why I understood this gertlemau had the hardihood to go to La Porte, in this county. on the 4th of July, and measure swords with a man renowned for his elognuence—with Cot. Baker, [Voices—Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha !]— and it may be that we are enjoying extracts from the oration delivered on that oceasion. [Laughter.] At Laporte Mr. Broderick reviewed Gwin’s Forest Hillspeech. We take the following extraet from the report in the Sacramento Union to which we are indebted for the matter above quoted. Would it not have been well for Dr. Gwin to have come out. and offered to live up to his pompous challenge, made. as I have elsewhere shown, inthe Wnis ted States Senate, whether I was competen! to meet himor not. I am not inlove with public speaking, but 1 would ask my friends to administer poison unto me if I believed that I wasuota match for Dr. Gwin on the stump or in the council chamber, or in any other position in life. ‘This isa scheme to avoid meeting we. Yet fellow citizens, this old Lime Pointer undertakes, at a goodly distance toarraignme. I shall not speak of him to night with much harshness; I intend to speak of him very plainly, however, vetore the conclusion of this canvass. I will be able to prove to you that he is dripping with corruption ; that instead of iepresenting you, he has beer the repre sentative of capitalists; that he found himselfin the United Senate a disgraced man, for he aecepted his election upon which no honorable man would agree to He says that I saved my friends salaries while ! was influential in reducing the salaries of his friends. What would this prove, if anything? Dr. Gwinis an Administration man, and has a party major~ ity of ten or twelve members to which he should look for support. I amin the anti-Administration ranks—one of the bitterest enemies of this Administration inthe United States. Why does he attribute influence to me while he affects to despise me? He is an old man, an old Senator, having held the post of United States Senator for cight years, while I have held the offiice of Senator Lut tor two years. I can give you the reason for his lack of influence. His word is not believed in the UnitedStates Senate, True itis that ‘Toombs, Davis, Brown and other chivalric gentlemen permit him to associate with them, but they never believe anything that he says. [Great laughter and applause. “GoIncG,—GoING,—GoN Ek !’’—Coffroth and Griffith, it is authoritatively stated, have gcne to the embrace of Lecomptonism. Any act the former might do would create no surprize to those who The latter was better thought of generally. Without knowing Broderick personalknow the man. ly a great many good citizens of the State have hitherto had an unfavorable iwpression of him imbibed on account of the character of his political associates, some of whom were the most venal and and corrupt vampyres that invested society. We happento know that Mr. Broderick distrusted many of his old professed adherents many years ago but for want of a personal cause sufficient to banish them from his presence, was obliged to tolerate them longer then he care.i todo. One by one, however, they drop off, andthe more, the happierthe feelings of Mr. Broderick, and the greater the change in public sentiment in his favor. Relieved of these vermin and the suspicions of the people formerly entertained against Mr. Broderick will be removed. These late desertions must remove a load from his heart and add to the regrets of the Lecomptonites. We do not believe the latter are well pleased with theaccession, It is a Nessus shirt to our Lecompton friends; for besides sinking the party moraily and politically in its own estimation, the sympathies of the people are excited in favor of the man upon whom these renegades are pouring their obloquy. population will flock to that standard which is deserted by unprincipled, tra~ ding politicians. The honest part of the 1 Before the present canvass begun we saw unmistakeable signs that the administration party would attempt to blind the people of the State to the real issues before them. It was done last year successfully. ‘The attempt is made this year. First, all the principal supporters of the administration such as Davis, Brown Green and others. were declared to be not the exponents of Democracy. Then Mr. Latham comes out in favor of Non-~ intervention Popular Sovereignty, the Kansas-Nebraska bill, James Buchanan, and other incongruous things, and prays “good Lord and good devil” to suit the oceasion. Who but the most hopelessly ignorant or foolishlessly duped does not know that the planks in Mr. Latham’s platform are far assunder and wholly irreconcilable 1 The doctrine of Popular Sovereignty itself offers absurdities enough for a man of Latham's eahbre to lick into plausible shape without dragzing in other questions to produce confusion worse confounded. Wasu. Wricut has retired from the chair of the Sierra Citizen. ‘The him. The Terror to Evil Docre tah terror : to all villains who infest this portion of the State is J. Boggs, the “Auburn Coastable.” Every manis supposed to be created for a purpose, and certainly if there be any truth in the remark, Boggs was special:y designed by Providence to arrest the violators of Jaw and bring them securely to justice. He is endowed with an instinct to detect criminals, perseverance and patience that are never wearied, a courage that is never appalled, a keen eye, quickness of motion in times of danger, anda nerve like iron. How many cut-throats, robbers, and scoundrels of every dye he has been instrumental in checking in their career of crime, we have no means of knowing, but scarcely has a bloody encounter with outlaws occurred within two or three years past either in this county or Placer that Boggs has not had a hand in. The man has evidently a passion for detecting and arrestiug the perpetrators of erime. He knows his mission and is filling it. Some of the stories told of his cunning and perseverance in ferreting out malefactors are almost incredible.— An ordinary man, would naturally acquire a disrelish, it would seem for being shot at repeatedly. Not so with Boggs. Bullets only make a contest with outlaws the more interesting, and develop the powers of theman. He rises superior to every emergency. The corpse of many a desparado, and many a living inmate of San Quenti», can testify to his strategy and prowess. If there is any virtue or gratitude in the people of Pla~ cer they will retain the “terror of crim: inals’’ in a position so :ongenial to his tastes and so productive of good to the public. Tue Narvuratization Question.— We publish on the outside to-day, the letters of Gen. Cass onthis subject, as also the masterly production of John M. Botts. Wenever desired to obtain foreign votes for any party with which we might be associated, ard would not ask a politieal favor of adopted citizens now, It would be desirable, hcwever, that that class of our population should come to a realizing sense of their real situation in the politics of the country. Wetherefore publish the documents above indicated and foreigners can read them and be enlightened ornot. as they may choose. It would be wel! forthem to observe that John M, Bottsisa true blooded American in every sense of the term, ard while he would use every caution inadwitting foreigners to citizenship in thus country, he would go to the last extremity to defend an adopted citizen whohad been deemed worthy to bear the name of American. Krrosknet.—The new light which is said to be superseding everything else in the East, has been intioduced here, A quantity of the lamps and oil may be purchased of E. F. Spence, druggist, who has the agency of this county. Kerosene is a very pure oil extracted from camel coal, whole fields of which have been purchased in Virgmia by companies engaged in the manufacture of the oil It burns with a strong, mel low light, without smoke. and, it i said, will furnish as much light as six candles forone cent anda halfanbour. — It is certain that but asmall body of the oil is consumed compared with camphene during the same time. The lamps are so arranged as to furnish a strong light or the smallest conceivable blaze, and the the latter will not go out after a few hours’ burning, like an oil lamp. For use ina family the Kerosene lamp is superior. Wind cannot well blow out the light, it burns steadily and clearly, is cheap and clean, the oi! will not spoil a carpet if spilled upon it, and it will not explode. The lamp is meeting with a ready sale, Srace Accipent.—As the Marysvile stage of Monday was descending the hillinte Penn Valley, on its way to Marysville,the thorough-brace gave way precipitating the coach upon the horses who took fright and ran down the hill at break-neck speed, Near the bottom of the hill the stage turned over and was badly smashed. The driver George Green was thrown a considerable distance and was so badly hurt that he has not been able to leave his bed in Rough & Ready till lately A little girl, a daughter of Jobn R. Ridge, editor the Marysville Democrat, was also slizhtly injured. Geo. Green is one of the most careful of all the drivers in the employ of the California Stage Company. Tuose Posters.—Our streets have been placarded with posters announcing that Latham, Burch and others will speak on Monday evening next. The text of the document is of the billings gate stamp; so much so that a prominent member of the party, we learn, did not seek to conceal his disgust, nor seruple to use his knife upon upon the bill with good effect. It is a ‘soggy old” document inits original shape. The Grass Valley office is heavy on jobs of that kind. Fata, Accipent.—A man named Martin was killed in the Eureka claims at North San Juan, on Tuesday by the caving of abank. Aman war killed “summer solstice” was too many for. in nearly the same spot by acave four months since. Broveric& in Piomas. ick made a speech toa lar Quincy, on the 21st. The phonographie repo Union givesa favorable impression of Broderick’s decorum of language contrasted with the low abuse of Senator . Broderdience in fitin the Gwin at Forest Hill and Yreka. We are glad to see a deviation from the scurrilous course pursued by most stumpers inthis campaign. If public men are guilty, their misdeeds should be made cag te EST aT te Macenra Festivat.—Perhaps there has never been more thorough and extensive arrangements made in this State to get up a celebration than by the op. erators in ths Eureka Lake Company to celebrate the erection of the Magenta Aqueduct. Nothing hasindeed been spar _ ed torender the event.a great and. memo rableone Stages arefurnished free to _earry ladies and gents from their homes to the aqueduct.

First let him establish his own ino . cence and uprightness, or back his asser tions with the best collateral testimony. Terrific Fall awd Wonderful Escape. A miner named H. Steele, working in the Sebastopol shaft at Gouge Eye, fell . on Monday morning last down the shaft a distance of 185 feet and escaped comparatively unhurt!) H2 struck upon a tub in the bottom and immediately got up and into the bucket and was drawn out. He will be about in a few days. Such a fall and escape bas never before been heard of probably. Not a bone was broken, nor scarcely was the skin disturbed. “A Streak-’—J. H. Mitchell, a defeated candidate before the Lecompton county convention for Sheriff, struck a streak in the gift enterprise of C. W. Young. Out of twenty tickets which cost hit but five dollars, six drew prizes amounting in value in the aggregate to $551. Among the prizes were two geld watches valued at $300 and $200. The First of the Emigration.—The first emigrant wagon of the season came into town over the Truckee route, on ‘Tuesday last. Tt came from Leavenworth, Kansas, and was five mouths on the road. ‘Three men andtwo women composed the company. One of the men represents the emigration on the road as larger thanany year since ’53, the grass as abundant and the Indians not atalltroubleseme The family are on their way to Dutch Flat. Sore Heavs.—The Grass Valley National adunits inferentially that there ix one sore head among the defeated candidates of his party, ‘That head is . asore one indeed, and is getting to be . chronic. Nothing will cure it but an official plaster or counter irritation preduced by the toe of a boot on another part uf the body. The Gift Entertainment.—C. W. Young's second gift entertainment came off on Saturday evening last. A large crowd was in attendance to witness the fire-works. The diawing was done by . means of a wheel, in the usual manuer, . and was performed perfectly on the . square, of course. Wasnoe Diccixes.—A number of . returned prospectors from this place have gune back to the Washoe diggings prepared to remaia and open the veins discovered thee.

Frank Titrorp, we learn will address the citizens of Nevada in connection with Latham when the latter comes The administration papers brag that Mr Broderick durst not deny Tilford’s statements. Oh, how they swagger ! They remind us of half-bred boys placing a chip on the shoulder of a young) bully and then daring a boy to knock it . off. Bombastes and his boots comes up . for a simile too. THEATRICAL.—We learn that Mrs. Walter Hill, an actress of some cleleb= sing rooms and handsomely decorated. Two supper tables cach 80 feet in length are prepared to accommodate the crowd that is sure tobe in attendance. Stabling is furnished for horses and the best of hostlers will be in attendance. The amusements will consist of firing of cannon. orations, music by a brass band, fencing by experienced wrestling, gymnastics, rope climbirg aud singing by sailor en costume, fire works, apromenade on the flume 130 feet high, and a grand ball. The management of the affair is given to Mons. Chauvel, of this city, who will see that nothing is left undene to add to the comfortand enjoyment of the patrons of the celebraration. ‘There is no discount on this celebsation. Every indication goes to show that it will be a gloswordsmen, rious affair from beginning to end. We recommend to the “fair women i and brave men” of our town a trip to the mountains and a_ snuff of the colder and more bracing atmosphere of a higher altitude. Tue Borer—The _ pestiferous little creature known as the borer, is doing more than average share of damage this year totrees in this vicinity. He is making havec among apple, apricot, plum and sometimes peach trees, in some cases killing them outright, and in almost all other cases compelling the culturist to use the knife freely to remove him. About the best preventive, it seems, against the pest is to keep the trees thrifty by plenty of manure and water. ‘The animal appears to work almost exclusively in trees that are of slow growth or are stationary. Shading the bodies of trees is found to have some effect as a a preventive. News ano Wispom.—The Editor of the Crescent City Hera/d, writing to his paper from San Francisco says ‘there is nota man on the Rebublican State ticket who is recognized tohave any ability at all save Col. Baker.” He very wisely concludes by saying “there is very little doubt that Johu B. Weller will be our next Governor.

Foreigners and the Administration. After reading everything that has fallen in our hands coming from the AdMinistration side relative to the doctrines ect forth in the letters of General Cass oa naturalization questions, we sum the argument up in the following two propositions, one of which involves a question of international law.and the other is a mere assertion of national policy, First. it is declared that it would be sidiculous for our government to claim the natives of other countries, who, owing military or other service to those countries, had come to our shores and had taken upon themselves the rights and dniies of American citizenship, be-~ eause it would be intermeddling with the municipal regulations of other nations, which is not sanctioned by any international code. Second, it would be ridiculous as well as perilous to attempt to carry out the doctrines laid down by Jeln M. Botts, because we have not the powerto sup. port our pretensions, and would bring npon us the combined armaments of Europe. To these points are the administration arguments principally directed. We shall offer a few brief remarks on these “impregnable” points. As to the allegation that protection to an American citizen abroad may he an interference with the municipal regulations of other countries, we have to say that uo country has aright to municipal regulations that contravene the Jaws of nations. Admit the proposition that every country can establish municipal laws of such import, and yon deny the right ofa nation to defend its native born subjects while on a foreign soil.— National laws are superior to local or municipal when the rights of citizenship eome within their scope. as is always the ease. It may be urged that the position taken by John M. Botts, that an adopted citizen is entitled to every protection due the native born, is not sanctioned by international law. Itimay Le true that by notreaty hasthe American doctrine of . denationalization been directly admitted; . but there are instances where foreign . . the kind of wood of which the head was governments havc aceccedto the American doctrine when the United States; have demanded the liberation of naturalized citizens impressed into service in the land of their nativity—a service froin which they escaped and which was elaimed to be still due. These instances furnish precedents; they establish a sufGcient recognition of the righteousness ofthe American doctrine of naturalization for all practical purposes and will answer instead of actual treaty stipulaIt seems clear that he United States are not bound to know what obligations a foreigner is under to the country of his birth at the time tions on tho point. he applies for American citizenship — The presumption is that he comes to our shores with the consent of his govHe with its consent or escapes by its neglzet, and ernment. either comes in cither case it should not take advantaze of its own errors of omission or commission. As tothe second point in the argument, thatit would be ridiculous and perilous to attempt protection of naturalized citizens in certain cases, on the ground of want of power, we suggest that the proposition itselfis both ridicuous and cowardly. nvolved is one of right, and no nation The question only hich aspires to honorable greatness vill take into consideration the alterna~ives of disaster and disgrace. The Jnited States have the power, and if her citizens have a right to protection hat power should be used in their deense. mow.The time to assert our right is Every consideration of policy so While the European powers are exhausing themselvesin bloody wars declares. s the time for us to obtair a clear recs pguition of the rights of our citizens, — Ihe idea that France or Austria wili nd fleets and armies to fight us long nd determinedly in preference to surreering a few dozen soldiers out of thein millions in arms is simply absurd. They have all the wars they can attend to, nd would rather surrender ten thousnd men ona reasonable demand, than have a war with America, Casin Bernt.—The cabin of Rogers, wie and Williams, on Christmas Hill ear Little York. caught{fire on Tuesday ight and was entirely consumed toether with its contents.

We publish some portions of Broder. ick’s reply, which will be appreciated by all who know anything about Kirkpat For an offhand effort and coming from one whom want rick’s style cf eloquence. the Administration presses are makin g fun of as a public speaker, it is particularly good. “Kirk’s” speech shoula be read to get the entire good of Broderick’s reply, but we have not room for it. Mr. Broderick said—Fellow citizens : I am very sorry that I ventured to challenge this eloquent gentleman to discuss the questions which are now agitating the public mind, or sought from him an explanation of his vote on the resolutions sent to me by the last legislature And Iam sorry, not on my own account, but upon his, since he manifests such sensitiveness at the style of the remarks in which Icalled him outWhy should he get so excited? Although he gives no substantial reasons for his vote on the resolutions urging my resignation he evidently comes upto the expectations of his friends; and I canascure him that his merits asa public speaker have not neen underrated by the political oppo~ nents who have speken of him in my presence. I spoke of him pleasantly not speeringly, as a man who was accustomed to the delivery of Fourth of July speeches, at which he rises in high dudgeon ; yet he confesses the habit attri~ buted to him, and gives a practical confirmation to the repoit which I repeated, by indulging in a genuine Independence Day effusion. [Applause and laughter. ] I am gratified by the sample, though it answers no solid purpose on this occasion. The gentleman is full of irony, as I judge from his tone of voice; but his great forte is, unquestionably, im the fancy line. He ascends to the heavens, and takes the largest orbs, and even whole constellations into the service of his imagination, andthen pays a complimentary and loving visit to the bones of our Revolutionary aucestors. [Laughter and appleuse. He sarcastically speaks of me asa “Gigantic Ajax;” but he is undoubtedly sincere when he ealis Mr. Buchanan a “Giant,” “Gibralter herself,” and a “rolling orb,” which shall continue to shive for a considerable time after these candles shall have burnt into their sockets. I have no doubt but that you were all considerably pained when the charming orator refused to allow the center of our solar system to stand asa representative of our Federal Government. Then this Administration is a “heart of oak,’”’ bobs bing away ina “hickory frame” and getting up his excellent illustration I very much wonder that he didn’t name composed. [Applause.] Now I suppose that Lmight without huwiliation, confess that L was unable to cope with this rhetorician. the variety of whose figmes puzzles mo if it does not facinate you. But 1 came here to deal in facts, not to make flourishes; to use figures, which do not lie, not to amuse mysclf or weary you by strained figures of speech. He inquires if the Staée is to suffer from a federal despotism ? I repeat the question with emphasis: Shall we be crushed out by a federal despotism? Shall the hordes from tke Custom House be permitted to gather at our State Capitai and cajole, purehase, or frighten legislators to voting for resolutions of instruction which are obnoxions to all the informedand honest men in the State? Shall Custom House money continue to subsidize the press in the interior 2? ard shali agents be supplied with Federal funds to enable them to traverse the State and engage in the business of making tke influencing misstatements, so thatthe people are induced to vote improperly and without a fair knowledge of the issues involved? Shail custom house emissaries,and those sympathizing with the sectional opinions there fostered, be allowed to steal into our Legislature, nuder cover of the name of Popular Sovereignty, and then turn round and denounce a United States Senator because he acted in accordance with the priacipies which they professed inthe canvass? I am the men who wants toknow whether we are to be overridden by the Federal Government. I was at Washington at the time the Lecompton Constitution reached that place, and I know its history and purpose. But the gentlemen earries his doctrine of instrnetion so far as to make it a very curious “sheet anchor of our liberties.” He says that no matter whether the instruction are right or wrong, the instructed Senator must obey or resign. ‘Chen, while the Legislature is in session the United States Senators are at the mercy of that body, and must bow to its capricious, unwarranted and positively unrighteous recommendations, or leave hisseat to be filled by a successor less scrupulous of his honor, What doctrine is this, and who gives us prece dent for such extreme and ridiculous notions? The gentleman dissatisfied with the name of Senator, brings in another term, which usually bears a dis-~ tinct signification ; he would eall me “Embassador.” Allow me to suggest that such a pliant creature of a creating Legislature as he would have a United States Senator tohe should be called neither a Senator nor an Embassador but a tool. When an issue is fairly placed aud decided upon by the people, and that decision is expressed in the Representatives and Senators elected to the State Legislature, I will obey instructions or resign. OO Mr. Kirkpatrick mounted the stump a second time and indulged in some desul tory remarks when Mr. Brod eriek res turned to the charge beginning in the following style z Fellow citizens: Jimmy Buchanan hashad another eulegy; butthis time thestars have been allowed to roll on uumolested in. their aceustomed orbits, nor has the orator again buried hirgel among the bones of our fathers, come before you to express my deep re~ gret at having eve: invited Mr, Kirkpatiick to this stand. When I rose to address you this evening, I supposed ‘hat he would take pleasure in mounting the rostrum and soberly and pertinently speaking to the proper political matters which engrosses our attention during this campaign. Nothing of this kind is presentedto me Why I understood this gertlemau had the hardihood to go to La Porte, in this county. on the 4th of July, and measure swords with a man renowned for his elognuence—with Cot. Baker, [Voices—Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha !]— and it may be that we are enjoying extracts from the oration delivered on that oceasion. [Laughter.] At Laporte Mr. Broderick reviewed Gwin’s Forest Hillspeech. We take the following extraet from the report in the Sacramento Union to which we are indebted for the matter above quoted. Would it not have been well for Dr. Gwin to have come out. and offered to live up to his pompous challenge, made. as I have elsewhere shown, inthe Wnis ted States Senate, whether I was competen! to meet himor not. I am not inlove with public speaking, but 1 would ask my friends to administer poison unto me if I believed that I wasuota match for Dr. Gwin on the stump or in the council chamber, or in any other position in life. ‘This isa scheme to avoid meeting we. Yet fellow citizens, this old Lime Pointer undertakes, at a goodly distance toarraignme. I shall not speak of him to night with much harshness; I intend to speak of him very plainly, however, vetore the conclusion of this canvass. I will be able to prove to you that he is dripping with corruption ; that instead of iepresenting you, he has beer the repre sentative of capitalists; that he found himselfin the United Senate a disgraced man, for he aecepted his election upon which no honorable man would agree to He says that I saved my friends salaries while ! was influential in reducing the salaries of his friends. What would this prove, if anything? Dr. Gwinis an Administration man, and has a party major~ ity of ten or twelve members to which he should look for support. I amin the anti-Administration ranks—one of the bitterest enemies of this Administration inthe United States. Why does he attribute influence to me while he affects to despise me? He is an old man, an old Senator, having held the post of United States Senator for cight years, while I have held the offiice of Senator Lut tor two years. I can give you the reason for his lack of influence. His word is not believed in the UnitedStates Senate, True itis that ‘Toombs, Davis, Brown and other chivalric gentlemen permit him to associate with them, but they never believe anything that he says. [Great laughter and applause. “GoIncG,—GoING,—GoN Ek !’’—Coffroth and Griffith, it is authoritatively stated, have gcne to the embrace of Lecomptonism. Any act the former might do would create no surprize to those who The latter was better thought of generally. Without knowing Broderick personalknow the man. ly a great many good citizens of the State have hitherto had an unfavorable iwpression of him imbibed on account of the character of his political associates, some of whom were the most venal and and corrupt vampyres that invested society. We happento know that Mr. Broderick distrusted many of his old professed adherents many years ago but for want of a personal cause sufficient to banish them from his presence, was obliged to tolerate them longer then he care.i todo. One by one, however, they drop off, andthe more, the happierthe feelings of Mr. Broderick, and the greater the change in public sentiment in his favor. Relieved of these vermin and the suspicions of the people formerly entertained against Mr. Broderick will be removed. These late desertions must remove a load from his heart and add to the regrets of the Lecomptonites. We do not believe the latter are well pleased with theaccession, It is a Nessus shirt to our Lecompton friends; for besides sinking the party moraily and politically in its own estimation, the sympathies of the people are excited in favor of the man upon whom these renegades are pouring their obloquy. population will flock to that standard which is deserted by unprincipled, tra~ ding politicians. The honest part of the 1 Before the present canvass begun we saw unmistakeable signs that the administration party would attempt to blind the people of the State to the real issues before them. It was done last year successfully. ‘The attempt is made this year. First, all the principal supporters of the administration such as Davis, Brown Green and others. were declared to be not the exponents of Democracy. Then Mr. Latham comes out in favor of Non-~ intervention Popular Sovereignty, the Kansas-Nebraska bill, James Buchanan, and other incongruous things, and prays “good Lord and good devil” to suit the oceasion. Who but the most hopelessly ignorant or foolishlessly duped does not know that the planks in Mr. Latham’s platform are far assunder and wholly irreconcilable 1 The doctrine of Popular Sovereignty itself offers absurdities enough for a man of Latham's eahbre to lick into plausible shape without dragzing in other questions to produce confusion worse confounded. Wasu. Wricut has retired from the chair of the Sierra Citizen. ‘The him. The Terror to Evil Docre tah terror : to all villains who infest this portion of the State is J. Boggs, the “Auburn Coastable.” Every manis supposed to be created for a purpose, and certainly if there be any truth in the remark, Boggs was special:y designed by Providence to arrest the violators of Jaw and bring them securely to justice. He is endowed with an instinct to detect criminals, perseverance and patience that are never wearied, a courage that is never appalled, a keen eye, quickness of motion in times of danger, anda nerve like iron. How many cut-throats, robbers, and scoundrels of every dye he has been instrumental in checking in their career of crime, we have no means of knowing, but scarcely has a bloody encounter with outlaws occurred within two or three years past either in this county or Placer that Boggs has not had a hand in. The man has evidently a passion for detecting and arrestiug the perpetrators of erime. He knows his mission and is filling it. Some of the stories told of his cunning and perseverance in ferreting out malefactors are almost incredible.— An ordinary man, would naturally acquire a disrelish, it would seem for being shot at repeatedly. Not so with Boggs. Bullets only make a contest with outlaws the more interesting, and develop the powers of theman. He rises superior to every emergency. The corpse of many a desparado, and many a living inmate of San Quenti», can testify to his strategy and prowess. If there is any virtue or gratitude in the people of Pla~ cer they will retain the “terror of crim: inals’’ in a position so :ongenial to his tastes and so productive of good to the public. Tue Narvuratization Question.— We publish on the outside to-day, the letters of Gen. Cass onthis subject, as also the masterly production of John M. Botts. Wenever desired to obtain foreign votes for any party with which we might be associated, ard would not ask a politieal favor of adopted citizens now, It would be desirable, hcwever, that that class of our population should come to a realizing sense of their real situation in the politics of the country. Wetherefore publish the documents above indicated and foreigners can read them and be enlightened ornot. as they may choose. It would be wel! forthem to observe that John M, Bottsisa true blooded American in every sense of the term, ard while he would use every caution inadwitting foreigners to citizenship in thus country, he would go to the last extremity to defend an adopted citizen whohad been deemed worthy to bear the name of American.

Krrosknet.—The new light which is said to be superseding everything else in the East, has been intioduced here, A quantity of the lamps and oil may be purchased of E. F. Spence, druggist, who has the agency of this county. Kerosene is a very pure oil extracted from camel coal, whole fields of which have been purchased in Virgmia by companies engaged in the manufacture of the oil It burns with a strong, mel low light, without smoke. and, it i said, will furnish as much light as six candles forone cent anda halfanbour. — It is certain that but asmall body of the oil is consumed compared with camphene during the same time. The lamps are so arranged as to furnish a strong light or the smallest conceivable blaze, and the the latter will not go out after a few hours’ burning, like an oil lamp. For use ina family the Kerosene lamp is superior. Wind cannot well blow out the light, it burns steadily and clearly, is cheap and clean, the oi! will not spoil a carpet if spilled upon it, and it will not explode. The lamp is meeting with a ready sale, Srace Accipent.—As the Marysvile stage of Monday was descending the hillinte Penn Valley, on its way to Marysville,the thorough-brace gave way precipitating the coach upon the horses who took fright and ran down the hill at break-neck speed, Near the bottom of the hill the stage turned over and was badly smashed. The driver George Green was thrown a considerable distance and was so badly hurt that he has not been able to leave his bed in Rough & Ready till lately A little girl, a daughter of Jobn R. Ridge, editor the Marysville Democrat, was also slizhtly injured. Geo. Green is one of the most careful of all the drivers in the employ of the California Stage Company. Tuose Posters.—Our streets have been placarded with posters announcing that Latham, Burch and others will speak on Monday evening next. The text of the document is of the billings gate stamp; so much so that a prominent member of the party, we learn, did not seek to conceal his disgust, nor seruple to use his knife upon upon the bill with good effect. It is a ‘soggy old” document inits original shape. The Grass Valley office is heavy on jobs of that kind. Fata, Accipent.—A man named Martin was killed in the Eureka claims at North San Juan, on Tuesday by the caving of abank.

H2 struck upon a tub in the bottom and immediately got up and into the bucket and was drawn out. He will be about in a few days. Such a fall and escape bas never before been heard of probably. Not a bone was broken, nor scarcely was the skin disturbed. “A Streak-’—J. H. Mitchell, a defeated candidate before the Lecompton county convention for Sheriff, struck a streak in the gift enterprise of C. W. Young. Out of twenty tickets which cost hit but five dollars, six drew prizes amounting in value in the aggregate to $551. Among the prizes were two geld watches valued at $300 and $200. The First of the Emigration.—The first emigrant wagon of the season came into town over the Truckee route, on ‘Tuesday last.

Frank Titrorp, we learn will address the citizens of Nevada in connection with Latham when the latter comes The administration papers brag that Mr Broderick durst not deny Tilford’s statements. Oh, how they swagger ! They remind us of half-bred boys placing a chip on the shoulder of a young) bully and then daring a boy to knock it . off. Bombastes and his boots comes up . for a simile too. THEATRICAL.—We learn that Mrs. Walter Hill, an actress of some cleleb= sing rooms and handsomely decorated.

The amusements will consist of firing of cannon. orations, music by a brass band, fencing by experienced wrestling, gymnastics, rope climbirg aud singing by sailor en costume, fire works, apromenade on the flume 130 feet high, and a grand ball. The management of the affair is given to Mons.

Every indication goes to show that it will be a gloswordsmen, rious affair from beginning to end. We recommend to the “fair women i and brave men” of our town a trip to the mountains and a_ snuff of the colder and more bracing atmosphere of a higher altitude. Tue Borer—The _ pestiferous little creature known as the borer, is doing more than average share of damage this year totrees in this vicinity. He is making havec among apple, apricot, plum and sometimes peach trees, in some cases killing them outright, and in almost all other cases compelling the culturist to use the knife freely to remove him. About the best preventive, it seems, against the pest is to keep the trees thrifty by plenty of manure and water. ‘The animal appears to work almost exclusively in trees that are of slow growth or are stationary. Shading the bodies of trees is found to have some effect as a a preventive. News ano Wispom.—The Editor of the Crescent City Hera/d, writing to his paper from San Francisco says ‘there is nota man on the Rebublican State ticket who is recognized tohave any ability at all save Col.
