TIE STATE JOURNAL and the MINES.
The State Journal of the I7th. con.
hins an article in answer to ours Of Sat
rday, which, however, is far from con-
incing us either that the people are
CONTINUOUSLY in favor Of the non.inter-
erence doctrine, or that good policy re-
uires such q course. The latter lie
makes no attompt to prove While we
traEt to that paper the right to what
iver opinion it chooses, and to shift it's
,plnion whenever it chooses, we do not
Fish to have oars shifted for us All
ye have asked for, is Il uniformity in the
equation Of the quartz mines, and
tile thereto secured in such a manner
p 20 make investments safe.
The Journal says that if it mistakes
not, the Democratic County Convention
Of our county, recently passed resou-
ton to the effect of Let us alone We
did not attend that convention, and
cannot speak of its deliberations from
observation. But gentleman well
known to the editor Of that paper, who
acted as secretary, informs US that that
resolution passed by a majority Of three,
and that every man in the convention
not a practical miner, voted for it, thus
overruling the voice Of those most in,
\ terested.
Now it is strange" says the journal,
| that 1t these views are entertained by
the miners, some voice has not been
raised among them setting forth their
wishes
How deaf man may be when he
don't wish to hear What does he call
voice setting forth their wishes Z
lie acknowledges his error in stating
that every candidate for the L S. Sem
ate united in an expression of the same
opinion and nov says with the single
exception Of Mr.. Walsh they expressed
themselves in opposition to such poli~
cy.N 1t seems rs though he does not
recognise Mr.. Walsh as capable Of Civ
ing an opinion. But that editor appers
to depend much on the ignorance of his
readers in saying that MIR Walsh is the
only one. Gen. Anderson answered the
inierrogatory referred to thus
- am in favor of leaving the mines
to the enterprise Of American citizens,
nnd at the same time secHfsag 10 miners
The protection Of Meir iabor and inrea-
mems against a!. The worid"
This is ali we ask all we want. But
there is one thing more in the journal s
article that looks strange. II is this
We have never contended or meant
TO contend, in opposing the conveyance
of tito tn these lands, that there should
not be security given to individuals in
thslr possessions and improvements"
This is indeed strange. How can
man be secured in his title to land and
the Improvements thereon without a
conveyance Any instrument that Sc
cures to him permanent right to occu-
py, transfer and transmit, is in sub
stance, if not in name, conveyance in
fee simple; and has tho time como when
men to maintain favorite theory, must
reject every thing that is real, and
grasp at the nero shadow What
sense is there in saying, I'VE will not
accept bona fde titla to our land, but
we want something that will mean the
same 10 say the least, it is ridicu-
ious. And the editor or statesman who
will occupy such ground evnces grca-
ter degree Of absurdity than we usually
see in men entrusted with such respon :
sible situations.
