JUDGE JOHNSON is addressing the
citizens in the middle and northern
portion Of the State, according to
appointment. While the Wing can
didate is thus before the people pro-
claiming his opinions and VIEWS
Judge WooD, his opponent, plays
the mum game, and leaves those
who have a right to know his opin-
ions in the fog concerning them
Two years ago Judge Woods friends
talked flippantly about mum candi-
dates, and were so anxious that the
people should hear from the Wing
candidate, although there were no
questions before the people upon
which Gov. Ford had not expressed
his views without reserve. But how
is it now? Judge Wood was once
understood as being soft; the con-
vention that nominated him was har-
der than any of its predecessors
How is the Judge-mRm. Once amid
"noise and confusion" it was thought
this standard bearers colors appro-
Priately belonged in the van of the
Free Soilers. Again it is said, he pro-
nounced the Wilmot Proviso a hum
bug. What is true and what false?
We suspect that this two sided Lo-
cofoco chief, furnishing his friends as
he does with SO strong evidence that
they can swear he is anywhere or
nowhere, is the very man our Loco
friends want, and the contrariety OF
his expressed opinions, his greatest
recommendation. Already do we
notice that on the Reserve, the Aboli-
ton side is being presented for the
admiration and support of those
whose tastes tend that way-to one
he is a soft money Democrat, to an
other a constitutional ha d. No
wonder the Judge is mum.

The Conior Prisoner.

The Mobile Tribune, in giving an
account ofthe forty-two Contoy prison
ers brought from the US. sloop ofwar,
Albany, and released by the Govern
ment, seys:
OF these prisoners, some eighteen oil
twenty are from Cincinnati; some twelve
or fourteen are from Jackson and its vi.
cinity, in Mississippi the rest are
from divers sections. They all tell dis
NAL stories of their suffering while ly-
ing imprisoned at Havana They were
kept heavily ironed all the time, and
watched by armed men day and night,
with vigilance that seemed to denote
a rescue was expected. They Jared
otherwise not over sumptuously, and
had no more to eat than would clevelly
keep their souls and bodies together.
Most Of the prisoners were in mo-
mentary expectation of summons TO
death, and were kept so entirely ignor-
ant of what was doing by the U. S. gov
eminent in their behalf, that it was not
until their irons had been knocked off
that they discovered that they had been
authoritatively demanded. Most of them
are in sound health, and look very little
the worse for their hard treatment =
With two or three exceptions, they are
also quite youthful, and none Of them
bear indications ofprofigacy or vicious
ness. We suspect that the tale they
tell of being deluded into the fool
hardy expedition is true.

THE Mon IN CHILLIcoTHE.-We
yesterday alluded to an attack made
upon the house Of the sisters of No
tire Dame, branch establishment oi
one in Cincinnati. They came to
the former city, purchased property
and opened a seminary for the edu-
cation of young children and females.
Several times this house has been
shamelessly attacked and stones and
rotten eggs thrown into the win
dows. The Catholics held a mee-
ting on Monday evening last, and
passed resolutions, repudiating the
idea Of mingling secular affairs with
politics, but pledging themselves not
to vote in future for candidates not
known to be favorable to an equali-
ty of rights; resolving to protect
themselves with repelling force by
force unless the city authorities
would protect them, and offering a
reward Of $50 for the apprehension
Of the depredators. To this the
city council has added $50. 1t is TO
be hoped that this reward will lead
to the arrest of the guilty persons
They are said TO be mostly boys.
The above is ar abstract Of the re-
port ofthe meeting published in the
Daily Scioto Gazette.

er as guerrilIas for the purpose oI
plumber. Not onlyis the miner, re-
turning with bis hard-earned gains
subject to their remorseless attacks
but the trader, while upon his lone
ly path, laden with supplies, ialls a
victim to their rapacity.
The existence of the guerrilla band
of which we have spoken, is confirm
ed by private letter, handed US by
a gentleman doing business in Sono-
ra, but now in this city. II is from
his partner, and bears date on the
night of the 10Th inst. He states
that a posse Of about one hundred
persons had just brought into town
five Mexicans, who had been found
in the act of ''burning the bodies Of
two Americans" whom it is suppos-
ed they had murdered and robbed
that night.
Outrages Of this kind have been
frequent, and have at last aroused the
people OF Sonora to decided action.
Four of them would undoubtedly be
hung, but the fifth used as evidence
to detect the residue Of the party.
P. S.-Since the above was writ
ten, we have received some addi-
tional particulars from the same
source, relative to the five men ac-
cused Of the heincus offence of mur-
dering and burning the bodies oI
their victims. 1t appears that they
were taken out on the hill as stated
convicted by Judge Lynch, and SEN
fenced to be hanged. Just as they
were about to string one Of them up
the officers of the law arrived, and
with .he aid OF some who had become
somewhat more considerate and
calm, rescued the accused, and sue
ceeded in getting them into jail &c
await trial.

Locofooo Platform for 1850.

The following resolutions were adopted at
the Democratic Convention. which assembled
in Columbus, on the 4th of July, 1850. Let
the PEOPLE OF OHIO READ AND REMEMBER
THEM:
Resolved, That with reference to the cur
rency question, the Democracy Of Ohio plants
itself upon the Constitution of the United
States. The currency fixed by that Instru-
ment we desire 10 restore and establish, and
we will use all legal and honorable means to
accomplish this object; and being sincerely
opposed to the existence Of banks for the clr-
culation of paper money, we are utterly op-
posed to any feature being incorporated into
the new Constitution, by which the Legislature
of Ohio would have the power 70 create any
bank for the circulation of paper money.
Resolved. That we consider it the duty Of
all our public officers, after taking the oath to
support the Constitution of the United States,
TO make all payments, in their official capaci-
ty, in constitutional currency, instead of pa
per money; and that we especially demand
from the Board of Public Works, TINT they
convert all paper money which may come under
their control into specie, and in that shape
disburse it.
Resolved, That banks of circulation are hos
tile alike to the equal rights of the people, and
the principles Of sound political economy; that
hard money is the only currency recognized
by the Constitution, the only currency that
defrauds no man, the only currency that is ex-
pedient and just; and we holG it to be incon-
sistent with the principles of the party for
democrats to participate IN creating or up
holding banking institutions.
Hnrd Money Report OF the Currency Conn
mItfee In the COnsIItutfOnaI Convention,
July 5Ih.
SEC. |. The General Assembly shall have
no power TO create any bank or banking insti-
tuition whatever, or to authorize the making,
emission or putting in circulation Of any bill
of credit, bond. check, ticket, certificate, pro-
missory note, or other paper medium, intended
to circulate as money or currency.
SEC. 9. The General Assembly shall pro-
bibit by law any person or persons, association,
company or corporation, now in existence,
from exercising the privilege of banking, or cre-
ating, emitting or putting in circulation any
bank notes, or paper of any description what
ever, to circulate as money or currency.
"SEc. 8. The business of banking and
dealing in m oney shall be free TO all, subject
to such restrictions as may be provided by law:
but no special privileges or exemptions shall
ever be granted to those engaged in, or to
those who may hereafter be engaged in suc1
business; nor shall any person or persons, eth
er natural or artificial, ever be allowed to deal
in or issue paper money, so called.
JOHN LARWILL, Chairman.
Here it is, fellow-citizens! Read it! Pom
der it! Make up your minds, democrats, how
many of you are willing to stand on that plat
form.

a Word concerning Legislative Nominal
ffoua,

a Word concerning Legislative Nomina-
lions.
One week from Saturday next, Sept
7th, the Wings of this Legislative dis
trict meet to make their nominations
one candidate for Gallia and Jackson
and one for the four counties. We be-
ieve it is generally understood that one
Of these candidates is to be selected
from Jackson, and the other from Gal
liza county.
The cause that gave the advantage to
our opponents last fall and spring, in
the district composed of this and Jack
son counties, must be avoided. With
discreet action it can be, and the nomi-
nee elected by an old fashioned Wing
majority. Our opponents are unity,
ready to take advantage of any opening
in our line. Shall this district, with a
Wing majority of 800, record an affir-
native vote on the issue presented by
the Locofoco platform at the head of
our columnsl Shall if cast vote for a
Locofoco U. S. Senator, or perhaps for
GiddIngs, should a balance of power
render it the best bargain? They are
anxiously waiting for such a state of af
fairs among the Wings, as may enable
them again to slip in their man. 1t
rests with the Wilksville convention to
CRAFTY or disappoint them. Give us a
man that is free from the taint of fac
tion-one who is enough of Wing to
put the success of Wing principles be-
fore self and his prejudices, and the
honest and true Wings of the district
will elect him.

!
and this morning from one of the
lucky individuals. This location
was point some thirty miles above
Spring Town, where these persons
had made race and drawn off the
water, and found rich deposit, from
which, with one more engaged in
bailing out the water, and two work
ing the rocker, they took out 5000
in three hours, and she next day S7OO
in the same time. when the water
rising, and breaking through their
dam compelled them to quit work.
So rich is the deposit that my infor-
mant says that Just as they were
leaving the work, he made grab
and got a single handful OF earth, out
of which, on a wager, he washed
out an ounce by panning. A gen.
tleman OF this place, and a friend of
mine, has made an offer this morn
ing, of S2500 for one of the three
shares-and he is we'll posted upon
these matters.
FROM NEVADA AND GOLD RUN.-A
friend lately from Nevada informs
us, that the stream that run through
that place called goli run, Of which
surprising accounts have been given,
have all been dug over, up TO the
hills in which they commenced. On
coming to the hills, however, the
leads continued extremely rich, and
the miners are still working into the
banks. In some instances forty leet
of earth have been thrown off before
reaching the deposits o. gold, and as
the laborers continue penetrating,
the amount to be removed will in
crease. Whenever the gold is
reached, it is found in large quanti-
lies. OF course the larger share
were not so fortunate. Quite Sc
rious accident happened in the side
of one. While party of four men
were digging, undermining place,
and following lead into the bank,
the earth above caved in upon them
and all were crushed to death in
stantly. Our informant did not
know their names, but they were
from the State Of Maine.
The hills and ravines around Ne
vada have all the appearance of be-
ing very rich with gold. 1t has late
ly been found scattered promiscuous-
ly over the hills, mixed in with the
very top soil, where the earth is dry
and dusty, like ashes. Quite large
number are engaged in gathering up
this soil from the hills, and packing
it on mules, or carting it TO Deer
Greek, where it is washed.
Nevada is becoming a lively little
town. Some four or five thousand
people are said to be in its vicinity.

MARYsvILLE, LINDA AND THE
MINEs.-The Gold Lake excitement,
so much talked Of and acted upon Of
late, has almost entirely subsided.-
A crazy man comes in for a share Of
the responsibility; another report is,
that they found one Of the pretended
discoverers, and are about lynching
him at Marysville. Indeed we are
told that a demonstration against the
town is feared by many. People
who have returned, after travelling
some $50 &c 200 miles, say that they
left vast number Of parties roam
ing about between the sources OF the
Yuba and Feather rivers. 1t is as
serted, also, that fair order Of Dig
gings are to be found in that region,
and that if they choose to be content
under their disappointment they
could do tolerably well, as provisions
are superabundant.
