suffer the abuses of political power.
Where shall we turn our eyes for re-
lief? To what source shall we look for
succour To whom shall we appeal for
salvation from these evils that a ffiict us,
and who shall save the affairs of liberty
from desocration, and wash the proud
4Egis of true democracy from those foul
stain, that have been fastened upon it :
Fellow Citizens of Nevada County. it
is yours, if you will to exercise an im-
portant part in the welfare and glory
that will result from this great political
reforma ton. The party in power are
becoming accustomed to the reins-
power finds a rapid growth within itself;
and if we do not soon free ourselves from
this despotism, we shall find ourselves
when it is too late, bitted and curbed
beyond relief.
Party is only valuable and salutary
as 1t subserves the blessings of o good
legis' alton; but when it becomes the
| fearful Moloch, to which must be sacri-
feed the interest and welfare of great
State; it should be Stunned as monster
whose touch is contamination, and whose
fangs are loaded with the 1ancorous
venom Of death.
The time has come when il is the
duty Of the people of California to de-
clare their independence of all parties
and combine tn emselves, regardless Of
names into one great patriotic body,
whose end and object shall be to put the
best and most capable men in ofice-to
secure the enactment of the best Jaws,
and the wisest and most economical ad-
ministration of the affairs of the State.
And thus, by the supreme voice of the
people, may these pensioners on the
spoils of a profigate State, be disrupted,
disbanded and scattered to the four
winds of Heaven, as the Lord, by con-
fusion of tongues did our presumptnous
ancestry of olden time, when feign they
would have built the tower Of Babel to
the very throne Of God. Let us forget
the ignorance and mookery of mere
name, and appeal as becoming patriots
to principle and t1sdb, for prosperity
honor and safety.
On Saturday last, the sluice boxes Of
Mr. ]. NJ Fouse & Co., were tom frem
their places, by party of thirty or
forty men, (nearly all foreigners) and
broken to pieces, and about four hum
dred dollars worth of gold in the rifles
lost Messrs Fouse & Co, are mining
on Gold Hill, and their tailings pass in+
to Wolf Creek, where the anita gonistic
party are engaged in mining. With res
gard to the rights Of these parties
we know nothing but :his mobocratie
and ruthless seizure Of the property Of
other men,, protected but by one of
their number without the slightest OPP
peal to the established judiciary of our
country, is an example of lawlessness
and defiance, that should meet with the
most unhinching opposition in the minds
of every good and loyal citizen. Let
good laws and justice rule us, and we
have nothing to fear.
My compatriot, and your piquant corr
respondent, w G. S, though a finished
gentleman, and scholar of classic cle-
gance, is evidently an 'Old Fogy' in
gallantry, and, although good IN his time;
would exercise no little philosophy and
sympathy with the progressive spirit of
the age, by remembering that this class
of gentlemen, though very efficient as
uncles, grand athers and nursery guar
dians, would be as little acceptable to
the highly fashionable ladies of the pres
ent day as the 'Old Fogy politician to
the constituency of Young America
So, console yourself, w. G. S , for this
is no fault Of yours, but of Old Father
Time, and commiseratien, rather than
Jealousy should occupy your thoughts
There are yet, however, few au umnal
flowers left, and, as you have unfor-
tunately passed by the roses of spring,
as they bloomed in your way, make the
best of it, and pluck one, though in Bit
terness.
w. G. s., suggests that the cogno.
men of Pike subscribed to his 'jere-
miad' of the 25th inst, as indicative Of
the character and import Of that letter,
should have been altered by chang
ing the into U, reading thus Puke,'
which, in fact, CIV. G. s., you are no
phllofigist) is synonymous word, ac-
cording to Ramshorns last edition. But
while we have not the slightest ambi-
ton that this change should become
personal, and actually changed into
you, we must at the same time acknowl-
edge, without the slightest feeling of
vanity, that the medicine has had the
desired effect, for, w. G. S. has certain
ly produced such an engregious vemiti
as has not been known by all the doc
tors since the time of Galen; Qucky it
didn't turn downwards) and if success
forms q proper standard for excelleney,
Pike or Puke,' is certainly entitled to
the distinction of Resident Physician,
in W. G. SIS proposed Hospital. 3,
If wv. G. s. is so afflicted by the
Puke, we advise him to let it alone, or
not to make such horrid faces, retch-
ings and contortions under the dose he
has received, while some might have
the observation-disclosures to ascribe wholly
to n week stomach on his part, and not
