What the .honorable gentleman has said about
a small faction having their origin and location
Mt Shasta being determined TO defeat him, Is us
beautiful a piece of hnmbng such mind as
the ecutlemans could we'll invent; bn, it took
him 10 do it. He viii find the small faction

IA majority of the free aud independent voters of
this county, located in every part OF II. The
time has come when he must be weighed in the
political balance and found wanting. He will
not have the arduous duty of referring to the
- Records and files in Ey office after the first
day of October next for the Impartial and honest
objects of enlishtening the people as To all other
candidates the best qualified for office. But the
gentleman says the nominees OF the convention

boilers, (rroud fellows too they are. and honest,
which.is much better.) consider him a"STrM-

would much prefer that the people would cm-
ploy Adams & Co.'s anl Rhodes 4 Lusk's Ex-
presses TO convey the news, especially IN rcla-

of the line of our honorable County Clerk. And
the boilers will endeavor 10 conduct their own
side of the question, without lmploring the
sympathes of the great official.
| must notice false pasition the gentle
man has taken in reference 10 political economy,
He says" il is impossible in ANY public SITUATION
in life for man 10 pursue n course conimcnda-
bic in the estimation of all" How Was It with
Washington and Franklin, and others of honest
integrity What is the use of pleading guilty
before you are accused of crime! Besides,
it has been just as difficult for David Corsnut TO
do those conmcndable things in his public sitii-
alton in life, it has been for ] Thomas ". paw-
son to do them unless he is more honest
man than Thomas w. Dawson. Yon say YOU
have endeavored to pursue Straight forward
course, &c. In this Effort of yours think yoq
have had difficult task. for il is very dltlicult
for some TO pursue such course. More
over it is rather nnlaterial in this controversy
whether you have endeayored to pursue a
straight forward cuu.se or not. Have you nciu-
ally done It, sir? Iou state III your card. so
