4 correspondent Of the Boston Times
gives the following account Of the way tho
election was conducted in the diggins:
On the day appointed we were eneamp.
ed six miles below our present location.
During the hot part Of the day, the season
of the siesta. a young, intelligent looking
man came into the camp on q mule and
respectfully invited US all to turn out and
go to the polls. We had been in the coun.
try but few days, and knew very little
Of its local politics, but decided upon fol.
lowing the young man to the Big Bar.
where the election was to be held, and
there gather what information we could.
OF we went by the mule path. over hill
and ravine, craggy rocks, and through
thorny chappara!, until we came to tho
Bar. The place of meeting was q store
tent, and here we met about twenty miners.
We arranged ourselves along on log
under the edge Of the tent and waited tho
progress of events.
Directly our guide took off his ha, and
nominated moderator for the meeting.
:hen three inspectors and a clerk, all Of
whom were chosen without dissenting
voice. At the request Of one of our party,
he then stated the object of the election,
and at the same time informed US that the
first name on the prepared ballot for dele.
gates &c the Convention was his own. Ono
of the prominent questions in the election
was an expression as 10 whether slavery
shall be allowed in California. The can
didate, though Louisianian, was oppos-
ed out and out to the Introduction Of ala.
very here, and so we all voted for him.
For myself. was Of the opinion Of an
old mountaineer, who. leaning against the
tent pole, harangued the crowd, that in .
country where every white man made .
slave Of himself. there was no use in keep.
ing niggers. deposited my ballot in an
old candle box in accordance with this
opinion.

Mrs Lish that her husband felt the bite of

she got up and killed it. She said the
spider was large, and of blush color,

A writer in the MT. InfeUigencer has the fol-
lowing very just remarks:
"Ihe temporal power OF the Pope IS a thing
talked about, but what is it in reality? 1t has
| not existed for centuries except by the proiec
ton of some leading Catholic Power. The Pope
has always lately been the protege Of either
Spain or Austria, or France. The time is gone
by when the Church of Rome did good service
TO civilization and humanity by being control
ling power over feudal despotism. Hdebrand
clearly saw, and evidently aimed at, real in
dependence But Hidebrands and Crornwels
alike belong to the past. Modern potentates
would no more tolerate the than the other
The Pope desired by modern C atholic rulers is a
mere agent for helping and strengthening des-
potism by the influence of supe rstiion. But
the age and the people of the age are not favor
able TO such agency. We cannot perceive
how a political Rome with free citizens can be
united with Papal Rome and conclave Of Car
dinals. The new element Of truth and right
will not amalgamate with the old one Of implicit it
faith and blind obedience. Popedom, a DOM

The political tcnets OF the two [pariesl are in di.
rect aniagonism That faith, under whose wise and

and to prosper is to give way, and another covering
weak and vascilatng schemes-wild and impracti-

ter, Dem.
This is the first time, that we have met
with so decided condemnation, in Dem
ocratic journal, of the Democratic policy Of
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe--now the
policy Of the moderate Wing party. But
we live to learn, il we do not learn to live.
The voice Of the country condemned in 1901,
the federal policy Of the elder Adams, and
though that policy has controlled the desti-
MES Of the country for twenty years past,
under the name of-Democracy, it has been
condemned again by the election Of Zacha-
ry Taylor to the Presidency The wise and
polite policy Of administrative government,
prevalent under Washington, Jefferson,
Madison aud Monroe is to be revived again,
and the weak, vascillating, wild and imprac-
ticable policy Of administration of the last
twenty years is to 60 to the wall. This is
the truth and the pith Of the matter.

Governor Seward who has been spending few
dnys ut homc left Auburn this morning for Wash
ngton, to take his seat as United States Senator.
IL Is no small honor to constitute one of that dis
tingushed body under any circumstances. But to
be the first Wing Senator from such State as New
York, md elected by such majority and under such
circumstances as he was makes his position doubly
honorable 10 him personally, and doubly gratifying
to his political friends. Amongst oil the eminent
men Of the United States Senate, there is none who
will occupy so prouda position as Governor Seward
Not SO much, however from the causes above refer
red TO, from his superior talents his large and en-
lightened views as Statesman, his accomplish
ments Scholar and his noble traits Of character
man.
There are many Wing Statesmen who might have
aspred to that any other office In tho gift Of the
peopel and who would have reflected honor upon
the State and the Country. But amongst them all
there Is not one in whom arc combined so many Of
the qualities Of head and heart which IRE requisite
to constitute greatness nor who has so rich
ly earned honor and fame BY such devotion to the
interests Of the country. He Is worthy to be the
first Wing United States Senator from New York.
He will not fail TO do honor to the State that has so
honored him, and though much isexpected from him
by the people, they will find that their confidence has
not been misplaced. Auburn, Ne,o York, Adssrti-

Magistrate, as are embodied in the speech
Of President Taylor, submitted to the SEN

appointed to notify Zachary Taylor of his

that President Taylor has not put on the re-

administration before the assembled wisdom
Of Congress, and that he will boldly direct
the vessel of State by that chart, no man who
is capable Of forming correct judgment Of
