M., to select candidates, for Justice’s of the Peace and Constables for Nevada Town: ship. By order of Central Committee for Nevada township. Togust 25th, 1857. Yat Ditriet 1. On Friday ovening last, Messrs. Stanly and Zabriskie, the former the Republican candidate for Governor, and the latter a, nondescript, held forth to the people of Nevada, in front of the American Uxchadge. A goodly number were . in attendance, but judging from the lack of enthusiasm manifested, and the manner in which the speeches were received, ‘we should say the crowd was composed mostly of Democrats, with a few Republicans and Know Nothings seattered here atd there among them. Mr, Stanly epoke about two hours. Te is not atall preposeessing as a stump orator, having a weak volde and bad delivery, and the substance of his speech was but little calculated to inspire an audience with his great ability as a statesman, He labored hard to show that the Republican party in this State was not sectional, and at the same time said he had never read their platform, and neither knew nor cared any thing about their principles. He didn’t believe in platforms, and would not place himself on ~ ones but the people must judge from the acts oft past life’as to the policy which would govern him should he be. elected. Much of his time was consumed in recounting what he had said and done, during his seventeen years service as a momber of Congress from North Carolina; but as his former career has nothing to do with our Stato policy, nor even with the great political questions of the present day, we could scarcely see the relevancy of itsintroduction in this connection, Mr. Stanly’s biography may be of great interest to himself, but nething but an overweening vanity, and a conceited estimate of hig own importance, would induce him to relate it at such length before a Califorvia audience, It seems he.did not approve of the Kanéas-Nebraska law, and he differs from the opinion of the Supreme Court (modest man?) in the Dred Scott ease, but believes in sustaining that opinion wntil it is reversed. With party—in arraying Demoeracy against itself— and illustrating in our history the fablevef the lion and the bear, who struggled together for *l the prize théy had jottly won, until both -were exhausted,’ when the fox stole away the object of their contention, The first move in this new systetn of tactics, is the sympathetic sorrow of the Nevada Journal, over certain defeated candidates. The oily compliments lavished upon disappointed aspirants, the ingeniousimpudence ‘with which it infers causes, objects and inten. tions, of which it knows nothing, cannot conceal the fact, that this dispenser of consolation and suggester of bolting, ever has been, and now is, the most relentless, uncompromising, . and vindictive enemy, both politically and socially, of the very parties whom he now insults ‘with bis hypocritical condolences, It'is not, however, by such gross.and palpable efforts as this of the Journal, that our enemies labor to’ divide and defeat the Democracy. Men claiming to be Democrats, who have ran the gauntlet of each ism, and joined each crusade against eur party, have at last crawled back to the party which they could not destroy, and in the guise of friends are lending themselves os tools and instruments to accomplish the objects of the sworn enemics of our prineiples and our party. . To consumate this object, no means within the resources of falsehood, treachery, or malignancy, has been left unemployed. Men whose lives have been one eontinual violation of every principle of the decalogue and of decency, now preach that morality which they never practiced. Saul among the prophets astonished the children of Israel; but these men among the saints out Herods hypocracy. In every part of the county can be found the slimy trail of these self-constituted missionaries, and falsehood, detraction and slander, are their means of creating dissensions. Renegades from other parties, the majority of them, however, cannot conceal the sinister motives which actuate them, and the ears of the aes prick through the skin of the lion, Most palpably is this the case with the Grass Valley genius who signs himself “Miner,” in the Union of August 22d. How this obscure, hard-working miner, who lives only in the bosom of his family, should know so much, and so badly, of the associations of Mr. Plumer; what a Jackson Democrat can find in the antecedents of an old line Whig to recommend him over a knowh and faithful Democrat, the nominee of a Democratic Convention; what this miner, whose sole interest is in the mines and gulches of California, can object toin Judge Walsh, one of the pioneers, and the most enterprising and extensive miner of the county; these and other glaring inconsistencies in the Unimm’s Grass Val. ley correspondent plainly show that one of our gangrened opponents has stolen the name of a Democrat, and assumed that of a miner, to misead the mining community, in whose intedligence and integrity lies the strength of the Demobracy. The unanimous endorsement of Mr. Plumer by a Democratic Convention, must outweigh with the people the slander and detraction of such a Jackson Democrat. If the antecedents and position of Judge Walsh do not answer his puerile insinuation, these qualities are of little avail. This Jackson Democrat well knows that Judge Walsh is engaged exclusively in quartz mining, and that for the purpose of inducing foreign capitalists to embark in this expensive and hazardous business, he has asked that the miners of the State, through their legislators, endorse and encourage this species of mining. Of all men, he would be the last to wish for the sale of the mineral lands, Constantly engaged in mining operations, his ouly hope of retrieving the fortune he has spent in developing the resourdes of this county, is in having the public lands still open to his enterprise aud energy.

Frey, Physician to the Insane Asylum, Stockton, I take the liberty at the same time, to refer you to the 15th Sec. of “an Act to establish an Asylum for the insane ‘a . The miners have expressed their confidence in al. . the enterprise by going to work upon the ditch, and agreeing to take their pay in water after its completion. The diggings around Omega are perbaps as rich as any in this county; many sets of claims are now paying from ten to twenty dollarsa day tothe hand. The want of of the State of California, passed May 1 th, 1853, compiled water has been seriously felt, and heretofore laws, page 925—and also for duty of person receiving insane criminals, Sec. 589, a of the order, stating the nature of the crime for whieh the party was held, was delivered with Myers, I am unwilling to ‘bell andI amencouraged to mistake'as to the iden on use the name of : tow patients by the name under which they are committed, and for which you receipt.

Fast Rinina.—On Thareday last, Geo. Gray, error has not been committed by you, as to the individual . and @ man named Webster were arrested by poreferred to by me, ; Yours Raspoctialty, ' . F,, ANDERSON, District Attorney, Nevada Co, . Stave Insane Adyium, Aug., 17th 1867. Wa. F. Anperson, Esq., Sir ;—Owing to the manner in which you had written the name Myers, we, (as well as other gentlemen,) had mistaken it for Rogers, and eonseuently wrote to you in regard toa man of that name heing aware that there was no such man in the Institute as M vine] we referred to the books of Messrs. Langdon & Frey (th liceman O'Brien for riding across a bridge at a “pace faster than a walk,’ and fined, the former fifty, and the latter twenty-five dollars. Webster was a stranger in town, is a minister, horsejockey, agent for the Pacific Seminary, &c., and it is supposed that a conspiracy was concocted among some wags, to get him into the scrape. e gentlemen who had charge of the Insane Asylum up . In faet, it has been openly charged in town that to the Ist of August) and found the following sed _ “JOHN MYERS, (German) admitted June 27th 1857. Discharged July 10th 1857.”’ . Consequenly for any furtherinformation on this subject we must refer you to the above named gentlemen, Respeetfull W. D. Avserr, THos. KENDALL. Mr. Anderson has written again, to endeavor to ascertain more of the particulars of this singular transaction, butas yet bas received no answer. The fact that Meyers was discharged so soon after his reception in the Asylum, would lead one to believe that his insanity was only assumed, le was, or professed to be. a raving maniac when he left this place, and he could scarcoly have recovered iu the short space of two weeks, if his insanity was real. Mr. Pucmer’s Posrrion.-We understand that seme inquisitive gentlemen of this place, have ascertained that Mr. Plumer is in favor of early rains, and are using this fact with great effect against him with river miners. We are authorized to state, that Mr. Plumer has expressed no opinion upon this question, and further, that he was not the cause of the late universal influenza; that he was not in the last dog fight, and has no hand in the next war; that he is in favor of good diggings, with the bed rock of a proper pitch, water the year round, an equitable temperature, an addition to eur moonlight nights, and an immediate reform and general improvement in everything, As this gentleman’s orthodoxy is inee is known he requires no defenders, he is unknown, the character of bis assailants is his best recommendation. In the coming election the Democratic party the exception\of some confused remarks upon the State debt, in which he left his hearers in doubt whether or aot he was iu favor of paying it, he had nothing to say upon any question of State policy, During his speech he was listened to with respectful attention, although there were few among his auditory that sympathized with him or his;principles. Mr. Stanly may be avery pious, upright man, but he is not the nian for Governor. of California, — Col. Zabriskie spoke about an hour. Two years ago, when tho proseriptive principles of Know Notbin the land, 'this’ the ablest champions of Democracy, and his speeches upon that occasion were universally admited and applauded. His present position is not easily defined. He seems to be trying to occupy a medium ground between Democracy and Black Republicanism—the principles of the two parties being so widely asunder that he cannot make the transitien at one leap. . By another year we shall expect to find him a fullfledged freedom shrieker. He professes to still belong td the Democracy, ‘but instead of defending the policy and principles of that party from unjust assaults, he denounces it, without gense ef reason, as being the cause of ‘all the evils which’afflict the people of the State. He evidently has a personal spite against Col! Weller, whieh was occasioned by the latter gentleman refasing to récommend him for the position of United States Marshal for the Northern District of this State; this, in some’ measure, accounts for his support.of Stanly, while at the same time he declares his intention of voting for some of ‘the Democratic notinees. His comments upon the killing of Keating at Washington, by Herbert, and Col. Weller’s connection with the trial, were so evidently dictated private malice, ‘that they'failed entirely of he object intended, Aa the legal adviser of Herbert, it was'the duty of Col. Weller to defend him,’ and whether the verdict of the jury “ Professed ‘politieal reformers are usually reMed by the reflecting portion of community, nerally, prove to be, seth, unprincif es by harping upon and dewoun faults‘of otbors. ‘dome Prateactions of Gol Zehigh f oh aces He *te jomtodheerule. 1 soc! Se m were likely to overshadow eman was regarded as one of must triumph, But the defeat of its opponents is not all of its victory, In this contest it will learn who are Democrats from principlé, and who from policy, It will remember those men who work with us when they can use us, and against us when we act for ourselves and the people; who recommend and pledge themselves and their best efforts to Kaow Nothing candidates, and work for their endorsement in, Republican Conventions; who flood the journals of our opponents with abuse, and poison the ear of the public with falsehoods against our nominees,. These men all true Democrats know, mark, and will remember. Their puerile efforts but discloses their weakness, and without aecomplishing their object unmasks their treachery. Their fidelity to Democratic principles is fully illustrated in their conduct. Consistent only in their hypocracy, timid in their enmity, they pretend friendship for us, and stab with the hand of onr enemies. 4 Against all this, against the onslaught of open foes, and the machinations of secret enemies, our nominees are before the people, with the endorsement of the delegates of the Democracy. Unable to trace each covert foe, scorning to answer each vile assertion, they stand the representatives of Democratic principles, upon the Democratic Platform, well assured that in the coming contest, Democracy will be true to itself and true to its principles. Mint Roppery.—A man named Wm. Bein was arrested in San Francisco ou Thursday last, charged with robbing the U. 8. branch mint at that place. It seems that he has been carrying on a systém of petty thieving for several years, by carrying off every day a small pieee of gold of the value of four or five dollars, until it has amouztited in the aggregate to’a heavy sum— almost enough to raise him to the dignity of a defaulter. Some $8,000 or $10,000 have been recovered, and the culprit was lodged in. the station house for trial. Bein has been engaged at the mint ever since it was started. He helped putup the machinery, and has since been émployed as a clipper.” The evidence against him seems to be conclusive. ' Jevar Moxsos’, of the Sacramento District Court, resigned his office, and left on the steamSee ler of the 20th, for the Atlantic States. questioned upon general priaciples, we take this occasion to set him right before the community, upon a féw specific points of public interest. Democratic Merrincs,—The Democracy of this county are fully aroused to the importance of turning out and sustaining the cause, and with it the true and tried men who are made its standard bearers in the present contest. On Saturday evening last a large and enthusiastic gathering of the people of Rough & Ready was addressed by David Belden and J. C. Palmer of this place, In Eureka township, the tenth legion of Nevada county, the Democracy are alive and at work. On the evening of the 23d a spontaneous meeting was held and was addressed by Hon J. C. McKibben, and Richard Moyes, Esq. We are informed that the spirit and enthusiasm manifested on the occasion has rarely been exceeded in any former campaign. ete a at Arrivan or Immrcrantrs.—A party of immigrants arrived at Placerville on Friday last, having left St. Joseph’s, May 9th, with mules and loose stock. At Gravely Ford they found the Recorder was at the head of the conspiracy, but upon inquiry, we are satisfied that neither Mr. Hupp, nor any of the city officers, had any thing to do with it. Mr. Webster was endeayoring to trade horses with Gray, and the two rode out a short distance to show off the fine “points” of their horses, In coming back, Gray induced Webster to run at a furious rate across the bridge, by telling him, that although it was contrary to the city ordinance, there never was but one man fined for fast riding, and he was drunk at the time. A report was also in circulation, that the fines had been remitted by the Recorder; but the gentleman who acted as counsel for Mr. Webster informs us that this was not the case, Mvurper and Roppery.—On Friday afternoon, aman named Gilbert, who lived at Jefferson Caiion, near Washington, was fonnd murdered in his cabin. His head and neck had been literally cut to pieces with an ax—there being no less than nine mortal gashes—and his head was nearly severed from bis body. Suspicion rests upon some Indians who had been stopping for some time in the neighborhood, and who left the evening of the murder and came to Nevada. Indian tracks were seen about the house, and a powder-horn and two shot-pouches were taken from the cabin, Gilbert was in Washington on . Friday morning, where he got intoxicated, and was taken home drunk. and left by his friends lying on the floor. The night previous to the murder, the house of Mr. Jones, which is near Gilbert’s cabin, was robbed of a lot of women and children’s clothing, a black frock coat, and
an accordeon. Indian tracks were also found . about Jones’ house. Warer Works.—It will be seen by the special election notice, published in another column, that an arrangement has been entered into between the Trustees of this City and Messrs. Mc. Roberts & Co., for supplying the city with water for fire purposes, which has to be ratified or rejected by a vote of the citizens, The election is called for the 16th preximo, and the matter is likely to be thoroughty discussed before that time, so that the people will be able to vote . understandingly. Two prepositions were before the Board. and a majority of the Trustees considering this one by far the most advantagous for the interests of the city, adopted it, subject to the ratification ef the citizens. Avprror’s Report.—The report of the County . Auditor, which will be found in our advertising that a white man had been murdered by the columns, giving as it does a very full andcomIndians. They contirm previous reports that) plete exhibit of the receipts and expenditurres white men were among the Indians, attacking and robbing the trains.’ A number of trains had arrived in Carson Valley, and others were pouring in. In and around the Valley, they estimate the number of stock already arrived, at over fifteen thousand bead. C. E. Pickerr.—This gentleman has recently written a pawpblet, entitled, “Repudiation, the Supreme Judges, and the newspapers.” He favors the repudiation of the State debt, and the election of Judge Bennett, He does not inform us who his favorite is for Governor, but he will undoubtedly throw the immense weight of his influence for Mr, Stanly. Carson VatLey.—A mass meeting was beld in Carson Valley, on the 8th inst., for the organization of a new territory in the Great Basin. The following localities were represented: Honey Lake Valley, Eagle Valley, Carson Valley, Willow Town, Rag Town, Twenty-six Mile Desert, Sink of Humbolt, Walker’s River and Valley, Hope Valley, Lake Valley. The meeting was quite spirited, anda memorial. was drawn up setting forth the matter in full, the same to'be presented for the consideration of the President aad. both Houses of Congress. The boundary of the new Territory takes ina range of valleys that are almost indissolubly cohnected together, and in the winter time the people who inhabit them are alnost entirely . . . of the county government, from July 19th, 1856, to May 3lst, 1857, will be read with interest by the tax payers of the county. From this report, it will be seen that the county debt, exclusive of warrants that were issued previous to the destruction of the county records, and which may still be outstanding, is something over one hundred thonsand dollars, ivicdaineststinnietiilensalaletesstlsiiaisin tiie! _ Posrroxep.—The trial of Chas. Davis, indicted for murder, which was set for last Monday, bas been continued to the next term of the Distriet Court. The absence of Geo. Moore, said shut out from all communication with California, New Mexico, Utah, Oregou, and Washington, but in all seasons of the year they can and do enjoy free intercourse with one another. All the proposed wagon, military, stage and . Postmaster, to be a material witness in the case, is the cause of the postponement. Rxsienep.—Mr. W. P. Harrington, President of the Board of Trustees, has resigned his office asa member of the Board, and Tracy Stroud has been appointed President of the Board in his place, The vacant Trusteesbip has not been filled. P not yet Gas.—There is a prospect that gas works will soon be erected in this city. arrangements haying been made with two companies to lay down gas pipes.
