Sess Stateline lial NE COUNTRY, ONE CONSTITUTION, ONE DESTINY *RIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMLER 24. * Nevada Journal vs, Gen. Seott ” The State Journal of the 21st inst. ses the heading we have appended to iis article because we quoisd a speech f Faulkner to show he bolitionist, and says: “Mr. Faulkner ‘is moulded in the image f Garrison, or in other words, is an aboionist of the blackest dye, for advocating ae gradual emancipation of slavery in Virinia jn (832, and Gen. Scott having declared imself in favor of the same measure, and ad he been in the Legislature would have oted for it, as a matter of course, he too is -n abolitionist of the Garrison stripe.” ' We admit that Gen. Scott favored the bill introduced into the Virginia uegislature for the prospective emantipation of slaves in that state. So lid Thos. Ritchie, the aposile of Denocracy, and Jas. McDowell, and T. I. Randolph, both prominent demorats, and many others. If Faulkner iad done no more, he would not be an abolitionist of the Garrison stripe.’ But he outran everybody else—hold{ng slavery as an unmitigated nuisince, its extension to be resisted as a lernier resort vi e¢ armis, even at the sacrifice of houses, property and lands, lenouncing the~principle of yielding sompensation for the losses of owners, and doing more by his violent abolitionism to defeat the bill than any of its opponents. In our article on the subject, we designed to show what kind of a man Pierce had guined in Faulkner, who, with words of fiery and peculiar hostility to slavery scarce f cooled on his tongue, denounces Gen. Scott for sentiments “ inimical to fif'teen states of the Union,” because he believed with the most distinguished tnen of Virginia in 1832 in the gradhal emancipation of slaves. If “old ‘Tom Ritchie” is an abolitionist for ‘supporting the bill we have named, the State Journal can muke the most of Scott’s favoring it. That omiable Cerberus, our democratic neighbor, seems to exist in hot lwater as its natural element. Now it ‘rushes like a bull at a red flag at its political cotemporaries, and now excites the ire of its political friends by its ‘‘ officious superintendence.” The state of fret and worry it is always in is really pitiful. In its issue ef the ‘2ist, it makes three distinct onsets at as many papers of the stote. We half suspect that like the spectators at a bull fight the wicked editors are shaking their handkerchiefs in its face to see it pitch and bellow. But all its Was ONCe an is a specimen : of the 9th Judicial District, consisting of Butte, Colusi, Shasta and Siskiyou, competent to nominate a candidate to the office of District Judge, without the oflicious and dis! organizing superintendence of editers from » abroad.” The “senior editor” of the State Journal says, “that’s me,” without being asked, and says the resolution was passed at the Colusi county convention. He also says some ill-natured things ef those who did’nt sce . the virtue of his superintendence, not likely to improve on previous footing. In its reference to us, the S. Journal speaks of “the brief career” of our sheet! However brief it has been, it was established a year before the heaving elements of corruption, state pap, and Hardenburg called into exis~ tence the “ State Journal.” The concurrence of a fat state job to be fought for, and a broken politician to be sustained, gestated that sheet; and the asperity it evolved internally in trying to elect Hardenburg, and in seeing him def ated, explains its rabid charncteristics evinced cver since. Cueerine From THe Nortn.--A friend just in from Siskiyou county, informs us that the greatest degree of activity prevails throughout the northern counties, to secure the election of Scott and Graham, as being the men whom the people will delight to honer in November next. New Parrns.—-We are informed by a gentleman recently returned from Oregon, via Shasta, that Messrs. Thornburg and Mendenhall, both practical printers. are about to establish o newspaper at Wyreka, Syskiyou county, to be called the Northern Herald. Mr. Dryer, of the Oregonian, in connection with several practical printers, js about to issue a weekly newspaper at Olympia, (0. T.) on Puget’s Sound. tormentors are not on one side, if this; the Rocky Mountain range. } © Resolved, That we deem the democracy . Walker, and he rep events it as being . Stanton Buckner. The Santa Clara Registcr speaks as published below of this gentle van, in its issue of the 16th inst. It is an indication of the high character this gentleman has in the whole state.— Such paragraphs occasionally meet) our eye, but we have yet to see the first word of detrection: * Since the adjournment of the con. vention, no doubt has been expressed . by members of either party here, as . to a majo: ity for Stanton Buckner of Nevada. He is known personally by many in the county, and by many others by reputation. His experience as alawyer, hs stability and virtue through life, will recommend him to the people as an ornament to the Supreme Bench of our young State.” We of Nevada county, who mpew Judge Buckner well, know that these enconiums are not beyond his desert. Death of John Chetwood —By the San Francisco papers of Saturday . came the afflictive news of the death of Mr. Chetwood, recently nominated to the Supreme Judgeship by the. by the Whig party in this state. He died on Friday afternoon last, after an illness of some weeks, which till a very short time before his death was not considered dangerous. The S. F. Herald says, “ The whole community will mourn his loss, while . sorrow will fill the hearts of the large . circle of his personal friends, to whom he was endeared by his many ennobl. ing traits. He had just received an honorable mark of the esteem in which he was held by his fellow citizens, in being selected as the whig candidate for the Supreme Court, and now just . in the prime of life, and on the threshold of a career of great usefulness, he is cut down and forever removed from our midst.” i> The last sad tribute to the re. mains of Mr. Chetwood were paid on Sunday evening at 4 o’clock. The members of the bar of San Francisco and the friends of the deceased, in large numbers, followed the remains . to the grave. On the Middle Fork of the American river, near Spanish Bar, a lump . of gold weighing 85 ounces was found on Thursday 16th inst. The Empire Company, working just above Spanish Bar, took out with ten men and three rockers, on the 16th inst. what was estimated by all present at ten thousand dollars. Anew pass has been discovered from Santa Fe to California, through . It was discovered about a year ago by Capt. as practicable for the horses and was . gons as the road fiom Santa Fe to Missouri. There are one hundred Jewish offi. cers holding commissions in the army . of the French republic. During the last twelve months, one hundred and fifty persons died in the city of New York of delirium tremens. . One of the toasts drank at a recent . celebration was, Woman ! she requires no eulogy, she speaks for herself. The Avalos family are giving concerts in the Dramatic Hall, Nevada . city.-Alta. jting the true principles of Republican .

Democratic Ciun.--On Tuesday evening a sprinkling of the democracy met }at the Gregory House on Main street, and formed a club. As this meeting . will in all probability be called a ‘great . gathering,” we took pains to count those present in the room while the nomina. tions for officers were going-on, and, all the faithful were not abundant in the) shape of privates, the club spliced out . ces. The preamble to the constitution adopted commences in the following naive manner: “Believing that it will be beneficial . the great leading national questions of . to our country and the democratic party. to form elubs for the purpose of inculeagovernment, as taught by Jefferson, Jackson, and others, of the democratic . political school,” &e. Now, the democracy of the present day, including the uneophisticated authors of the above, oppose protection to American industry and internal improvements, and invoke Jefferson as their authority. Behold, Jefferson appears, and shames such libels on his doctrines. In his annual message of 1806 he'says : “The question now comes forward — To what other objects shall these surpluses [anticipated] be appropriated, and the whole surplus of itnports, after the entire discharge of the public debt, and during those intervals when the purposes of war shall not call for them? give that advantage to foreign over domestic manufactures? On a few articles of more general and more necessary use, the suppression will doubtless be right; but the great mass of the articles ow which impost is paid, are foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement, as it may be . thought proper to add to the constitu. tional enumeration of federal powers.— . By these operations, new channels of communication will be opened between the states, the lines of separation will disappear, their interests will be identified, and their union cemented by new and indissoluble ties.” Mr. Jefferson's views, as here presented, were most enlarged and comprehensive, embracing not only internal improvements, but education, and the protective policy, as do whigs. General Jackson also, in his annual message of 1830, contemplating the states as agents for using the surplus funds of the national treasury in projects of internal improvement, enters “It may sometimes happen that the interests of particular states would not be deemed to coincide with the general interest, in relatien to improvement . within such states. But if the danger tobe apprehended from this source is be reserved to Congress to direct to such Improvemonts a general character as the . to unite in, and the application of the} tion of confining to each state the ex-. penditure of its appropriate quota. It) may, however, be assumed as a safe general rule, that such improvements as_. respective states in which they are made, by giving new facilities to trade, and thereby augmenting the wealth and comfort of their inhabitants. constitute . the surest mode of conferring permanent and substantial advantages upon the whole. The strength as well as the true glory of the confederacy are founded on the prosperity and power of the several independent sovercignties of which it ie composed, and on the certainty with which they can be brought into suecessful active co-operation through the agency of the federal government.” Our green friends who would be befogged quite without an indefinite idea that they are treading in the steps of illustiions predecessors, are requested to compare their true democracy with the ‘Lhey should learn to pay the printer. Bex We learn that Rev. C. M. Blake, of Grass Valley, whe has spent some weeks in making a tour through Oregon, the past summer, and has in his travels visited our northern mines, will give a lecture descriptive of those regions, at the Congregational Church, in this place, on Morday evening next, 27th inst., at half past seven o'clock. This gentleman has the talent and perceptive abilities needed in a good lecturer, and we doubt not will present a highly intellectual treat. Expensive Foracixnc.—The horses belonging to the command of Major Fitzgerald, now in Sacramento, were turned out to graze a short distance below the city. During the night they destroyed the garden of Mr. ‘I. O. Selby. claim of $8000 damages is set up by Mr. Selby, and a committe, consisting of Gen. Winn, Cols. Fowler, and Clea], to whom the matter was referred, reported toallow the sum of $4000. Mr. Selby proceeded to Benecia to draw the amount from the United States quartermaster. It is not known whether he sueceeded or not. p@r The Bakers are prosperir g at the Ade! phi in San Francirco. ubove. Canpy.—It seems the democratic papersof the state intend to urge Gen. Pierce’s election on the ground of his donation of a cent’s worth of candy. To verify the incident a stick of candy has been manufactured, “length five feet ; diameter four inches; weight twenty pounds avoirdupois.” Under its auspices the democrats feel sure of triumph. When American interests suffer for want of protection under Pierce's administration, the remedy will be—candy. Instead of river and harbor improvements, national railroads, &c., we shall be supplied with—eandy. We believe the American people are too cans did to accept the equivalent. The Santa Clara Register occasionally . reaches us. We should be pleased to/. see itoftener. It is a neatly printed . sheet, ably edited, and doinz good eervice in the whig cause. The Bugle comes to us regularly, filled with strong, original editorials and other good matter. It is well circulated in this county and in the state, and will help to ensure a ‘ good time coming.” Grass Vaitey, Sept. 18ih, 1852 A. A. Sarcent:—Dear Sir :— Cel. Phil. L. Edwards, one of the whig candidates for Representative in Congress. has entertained the people of this town and vicinity, during the evening, with one of the most clear, able and instructive political desertations that has country. The audience was large, orderly and parently as much entertained by the liberal and truthful remarks of the speaker as those of our own party.

The Colonel's masterly touches being finished. the whig. with all his boldness and originality, his countenance fired and illuminated with progressive ideas and gigantic schemes caiculated to advance the interest and glory of our mighty republic, and the loco fuco, paneplied and spotted as the leopard with constructive negations, stood in living outlines before the imagination. The subject of internal improvements in general, was dwelt upon with marked ability; and the feasibility, advantu~ ges and necessity of a great national rail road, constructed under the auspices of the federal government, from the Mississippi river to the Pacific ocean, were developed with an intelligence, profundity and political philosophy that has added no little to his distinction, by iden' tifying himself with the most ratioual, national, expanded and triumphant schemes, that have ever entered the minds or animated the hopes of a people since the world was called inte existence. This is the age of union—political, social and physical. Let us connect this great country with railroads, post roads, canals and telegraphs, till America shall know no interstice, no sectionality—but connected and united in every thing calculated to enhance the interests of the whole country. Anticipating Col. Edwards as our future Congressinan, we see in him that native vigor of intellact—that dep schooling in the principles of Kepublicanism and national policy, thoso strong social powers--experience and extensive acquirements--unflinching integrity—firmness, and oratorical ability— . that excite in us feelings of pride in view. of our Representative, and mark for him a high place among those distinguished in the national counsels of our vast country. The Colonel has made a deep and lusting impression at this place and will outrun his ticket. T. O. Tue State Centra ComMITTRE met at San Francisco on the 18th inst , and passed resolutions of regret for the death of Mr. Chetwood. It was further Resolved, That a convention of the Whig State Central Coramittee be held at their head-quarters. in the city of San ; fed : Francisco, on Saturday, the 25th Sep. . sufficient to require it,a discretion might tember, at 12o'clock M. for the purpose . of filling the vacancy intho whig ticket, ovcasioned by the death of John Chet;states concerned might not be disposed . wood, in which convention, the members of the committee, pursuant to a resolution adopted at their last mec‘ing, will be allewed to vote only in person and not by proxy. The Los Angeles Star of the 11th inst. to-day, indicated 148 degrees, in a ‘good breeze, out of doors—in the shade 101. The air lisa strong smell of ‘something burning.” Fire in tTuB Woops.--The Whig says a gentleman who has just returned fiom the Pulgas rancho reports a must destructive fire among the redwoods.— When he left, the flames had swept ever a large tract of ground, consuming alike underbrush and large trees. He describes the roaring and the crackling of the flames as terrific, and asserts that an immense amount of valuable timber has been destroyed. A Texan correspondent of the Knickerbocker writes as follows: “There is a curious custom among the ladies in many parts of this country, ‘leastways’ it appeared somewhat curious to me, when I was ‘just green from the States.’ It is technically called ‘dipping. Now, I'll stake my worstbanged sombrero against a bran-new Genin, that you can’t guess what that is, in three times trying. Well, to relieve you, it is a peculiar way of tating snuff. The operation is performed with a little willow stick, some five inches long, and ‘mashed’ atone end. This, being wet, is ‘dipped’ in the snuff, which, adhering, is thus conveyed to the teeth, and is rubbed overthem and the gums. The effect is semi-intoxicating, which is said by the initiated to be far morc agreeable than by the old legitimate way, so comfortable to ‘ Biss Cubbids’ a'd her daber Biss Gribes. Fancy a lady from .

Capt. MeAlpin resembled Dr. Wilson very much, and there is no doubt of his having been victimized by the Mexicans to California, and highly esteemed by all . whe knew him, is murder was engendered the deepest feeling of hatred to. war! the Spanish-American population. and we may soon expect to hear of a class of foreigners.—Culav.

Emicrants.---We learn from Mr. Bullington, who is taking the census of this county, that within the past two weeks 800 emigrants have arrive from the plains, and are locating themselves in and near Nevada. Mr. Bullington has furnished us with the following statistics: Men, 664; Women, 78; Children, under 10 years old, 57; making in all 799---bringing milk cows, 542, oxen, 384; horses, 167; mules, 148. Their stock is in good condition, some “being as tat as if they had just been taken from a good farmer’s pasture. From the same source we learn that the number of Indians inhabiting that part of Nevada county lying between Deer Creek and Bear River is 2113.

He had just received an honorable mark of the esteem in which he was held by his fellow citizens, in being selected as the whig candidate for the Supreme Court, and now just . in the prime of life, and on the threshold of a career of great usefulness, he is cut down and forever removed from our midst.” i> The last sad tribute to the re. mains of Mr. Chetwood were paid on Sunday evening at 4 o’clock. The members of the bar of San Francisco and the friends of the deceased, in large numbers, followed the remains . to the grave. On the Middle Fork of the American river, near Spanish Bar, a lump . of gold weighing 85 ounces was found on Thursday 16th inst.

Democratic Ciun.--On Tuesday evening a sprinkling of the democracy met }at the Gregory House on Main street, and formed a club. As this meeting . will in all probability be called a ‘great . gathering,” we took pains to count those present in the room while the nomina. tions for officers were going-on, and, all the faithful were not abundant in the) shape of privates, the club spliced out . ces. The preamble to the constitution adopted commences in the following naive manner: “Believing that it will be beneficial . the great leading national questions of . to our country and the democratic party. to form elubs for the purpose of inculeagovernment, as taught by Jefferson, Jackson, and others, of the democratic . political school,” &e. Now, the democracy of the present day, including the uneophisticated authors of the above, oppose protection to American industry and internal improvements, and invoke Jefferson as their authority. Behold, Jefferson appears, and shames such libels on his doctrines. In his annual message of 1806 he'says : “The question now comes forward — To what other objects shall these surpluses [anticipated] be appropriated, and the whole surplus of itnports, after the entire discharge of the public debt, and during those intervals when the purposes of war shall not call for them? give that advantage to foreign over domestic manufactures? On a few articles of more general and more necessary use, the suppression will doubtless be right; but the great mass of the articles ow which impost is paid, are foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement, as it may be . thought proper to add to the constitu. tional enumeration of federal powers.— . By these operations, new channels of communication will be opened between the states, the lines of separation will disappear, their interests will be identified, and their union cemented by new and indissoluble ties.” Mr. Jefferson's views, as here presented, were most enlarged and comprehensive, embracing not only internal improvements, but education, and the protective policy, as do whigs. General Jackson also, in his annual message of 1830, contemplating the states as agents for using the surplus funds of the national treasury in projects of internal improvement, enters “It may sometimes happen that the interests of particular states would not be deemed to coincide with the general interest, in relatien to improvement . within such states. But if the danger tobe apprehended from this source is be reserved to Congress to direct to such Improvemonts a general character as the . to unite in, and the application of the} tion of confining to each state the ex-. penditure of its appropriate quota. It) may, however, be assumed as a safe general rule, that such improvements as_. respective states in which they are made, by giving new facilities to trade, and thereby augmenting the wealth and comfort of their inhabitants. constitute . the surest mode of conferring permanent and substantial advantages upon the whole. The strength as well as the true glory of the confederacy are founded on the prosperity and power of the several independent sovercignties of which it ie composed, and on the certainty with which they can be brought into suecessful active co-operation through the agency of the federal government.” Our green friends who would be befogged quite without an indefinite idea that they are treading in the steps of illustiions predecessors, are requested to compare their true democracy with the ‘Lhey should learn to pay the printer. Bex We learn that Rev. C. M. Blake, of Grass Valley, whe has spent some weeks in making a tour through Oregon, the past summer, and has in his travels visited our northern mines, will give a lecture descriptive of those regions, at the Congregational Church, in this place, on Morday evening next, 27th inst., at half past seven o'clock. This gentleman has the talent and perceptive abilities needed in a good lecturer, and we doubt not will present a highly intellectual treat. Expensive Foracixnc.—The horses belonging to the command of Major Fitzgerald, now in Sacramento, were turned out to graze a short distance below the city. During the night they destroyed the garden of Mr. ‘I. O. Selby. claim of $8000 damages is set up by Mr. Selby, and a committe, consisting of Gen. Winn, Cols.

It is not known whether he sueceeded or not. p@r The Bakers are prosperir g at the Ade! phi in San Francirco. ubove. Canpy.—It seems the democratic papersof the state intend to urge Gen. Pierce’s election on the ground of his donation of a cent’s worth of candy. To verify the incident a stick of candy has been manufactured, “length five feet ; diameter four inches; weight twenty pounds avoirdupois.” Under its auspices the democrats feel sure of triumph. When American interests suffer for want of protection under Pierce's administration, the remedy will be—candy. Instead of river and harbor improvements, national railroads, &c., we shall be supplied with—eandy. We believe the American people are too cans did to accept the equivalent.

The Colonel's masterly touches being finished. the whig. with all his boldness and originality, his countenance fired and illuminated with progressive ideas and gigantic schemes caiculated to advance the interest and glory of our mighty republic, and the loco fuco, paneplied and spotted as the leopard with constructive negations, stood in living outlines before the imagination. The subject of internal improvements in general, was dwelt upon with marked ability; and the feasibility, advantu~ ges and necessity of a great national rail road, constructed under the auspices of the federal government, from the Mississippi river to the Pacific ocean, were developed with an intelligence, profundity and political philosophy that has added no little to his distinction, by iden' tifying himself with the most ratioual, national, expanded and triumphant schemes, that have ever entered the minds or animated the hopes of a people since the world was called inte existence. This is the age of union—political, social and physical. Let us connect this great country with railroads, post roads, canals and telegraphs, till America shall know no interstice, no sectionality—but connected and united in every thing calculated to enhance the interests of the whole country. Anticipating Col. Edwards as our future Congressinan, we see in him that native vigor of intellact—that dep schooling in the principles of Kepublicanism and national policy, thoso strong social powers--experience and extensive acquirements--unflinching integrity—firmness, and oratorical ability— . that excite in us feelings of pride in view. of our Representative, and mark for him a high place among those distinguished in the national counsels of our vast country. The Colonel has made a deep and lusting impression at this place and will outrun his ticket. T. O.

He describes the roaring and the crackling of the flames as terrific, and asserts that an immense amount of valuable timber has been destroyed. A Texan correspondent of the Knickerbocker writes as follows: “There is a curious custom among the ladies in many parts of this country, ‘leastways’ it appeared somewhat curious to me, when I was ‘just green from the States.’ It is technically called ‘dipping. Now, I'll stake my worstbanged sombrero against a bran-new Genin, that you can’t guess what that is, in three times trying. Well, to relieve you, it is a peculiar way of tating snuff. The operation is performed with a little willow stick, some five inches long, and ‘mashed’ atone end. This, being wet, is ‘dipped’ in the snuff, which, adhering, is thus conveyed to the teeth, and is rubbed overthem and the gums. The effect is semi-intoxicating, which is said by the initiated to be far morc agreeable than by the old legitimate way, so comfortable to ‘ Biss Cubbids’ a'd her daber Biss Gribes.
