by Swapping. By this course until
the last election. the Wing party in
this county had succeeded in getting
control of every county office but one
(the Probate Clerk,) and so confident
were they at the last election they
could not beat him, that they run a
soft Democrat against him whilst they
run Wing candidates for every other
office in the county. At the last cleo
ton they run no regular candidate s
for the Legislature, and many of
them. particularly the "COnciaUe')
voted against clever and ardent
young Wing &c. A. Levers, ESQ., who
was a candidate for the Legisla turc,
because they thought in supporting
him it would stir up the Democrats
and they could not elect their sheriff
and clerk without s,OuPpiRg and the
cant cry of no party" When the
elections are over you can see this
Wing COnclave winking and grinning
at each other, at every corner of the
street, each one taking to himself

lar skill in political trickery and out
whiting the Democrats.

upon the fact that the present Board Of
Police are composed ofa mjority of
Democrats. whilst the last and previ-
Gus boards for seveal years, were a
majority of WhigS. The present Board
of Police will compare for intelligence
and business capacity, very favOrably
with any the county has ever had;

THE GAME OF FRUSTRATIoNl

This device which MIR. Clingman has
suggested as the proper one to arrest the
action of the Northern majorities in Con,
gress, has been recently resorted to in
Parliament. On the 25th of FEBRUARY.
the ministers introduced bill TO extend
the elective franchise in Ireland It's con.
sideration was resisted by Mr.. DIsreali
and his friends, on the ground, that its in.
PRODUCTION at that time was not expected.
and that many Irish members were absent
attending the Irish assizes. These obiec.
tions were met 10y the assertion, that the
bill had been pending for three years;
that every body was familiar with its pro,
visions, and that there was nothing unfair
in pressing il at that time. But all the
arguments OF the Ministers had no effect
upon their opponents These last had dc.
termined that the bill should not be con.
sidered, and they proceeded to enforce
their determination, One Of them would
rise and move that the bill be postponed
and make a speech in support Of his mo.
tion. Another would second il, with an.
other speech, and call for a Division.
A Division in the House of commons oc.
cupies fully half an hour. The galleries
and privileged seats are cleared, the
doors are clOsed-the members pass
through tellers, and each mans name il
IT ccorded. Tris is a slower process than
our ayes and noes. These m tions for
accompanied by speeches
md calls for Divisions, were continued
through eight Divisions and until twelve
''clock at night, when Lord John Russell
-ose and stated. that he would no LONGER
'ersist in his motion This ministerial
declaration was received with loud cheers
jy the minority.

submitted to our perusal two letters
recently received from his son M. T.
Harkins--now residing in California.
Both are from Stockton, and one dated
Feb. |. and the other Feb. Is, 1850.
Mr.. Harkins mentions having seen
one peace of gold which weighed five
pounds and a half, and says two 9th.
cr large Jumps were found, one weigh
ing ninety-three pounds. Mr.. Har.
kins thinks that there will be a "con.
siderable rush to the mines, as soon
as the weather setteles." Provisions,
he says, are selling low enough where
he is, although they command high
prices at the mines. Flower was
worth one dollar per pound, hard
bread S1 so, and all other provisions
in proportion.
The news Of the discovery Of these
large Jumps Of the precious metal,
created quite a stir among some Of

of sheep that viii yield the most profit from

not for improvement, the pleasure of farming
would cease to exist in a great measure. I be-
