FORTY NINE.

JoHNTowN, Sept. l. 1854.
Mr.. ARGUs-1 have had so much to do with the
affairs of State that could not write chapter for
since my last in this place. and in the country here
abouts
The Major and l have been playing strong
hand We have been moving heaven and earth to
carry the election. Wehave had the great Edmund
Burke of the California Senate, Dr. Keene, preach
ing politics (out of tune), and the Cicero of the
custom house party, Mr.. French, to edify us with
his antiquarian knowledge. He commenced with
the eating of the forbidden fruit by Mother Eve
(supposed to have been red skinned apple) and
wound up with Noahs ark. He had commenced
getting a pair Of elephants on board when the
staging of his intellect gave way Next we had a
disciple of Blackstone who discoursed Of the law
then came recipient of the public crib who never
had charged all the law would allow.
''O take your time, Miss Lucy
The Major and had tough time q few even
ings since, when making an address at the bar,
An impertinent scamp desired to know of the Major
who he would support for u s. Senator if elected
This was a poser, and then the querst added
"Why don't you ask my opinion and the views Of
your neighbors!" This was twister also l was
nettles; the muscles of the Majors face was in
contortons; but seized a good opportunity and
whispered in his ear "Know nothing" when he
Immediately elevated his voice and said ~ know
nothing about this business" Truth for once,
by the eternal said the questioner.
We do a good business, however We call on
the schnaps as often as any one will drink, and they
answer every purpose for principles and make the
best of arguments. The Major and | can make
stronger argument in this way than ever Chief
Justice Marshall did could make, and as for elo-
queuce. that Of Patrick Henry was as nothing COM
pared with the exhilirating eloquence of Schnaps.
Tom Williams was here one night, and made
speech after Doctor Keene, and the Doctor looked
as if he could crawl through gimlet hole; all he
could say was that Tom was naughty boy This
he said with peculiar pucker of the mouth intend
ed to be classically polite. The Doctor will speak
here again before the election, and say he will ad-
dress US upon the Senatorial question in ancient
Greek, thinking. doubt, that some dead language
will be more readily appreciated than bad English.
On that occasion the Major will defend the county
officers in Hebrew. l shall close the meeting with
some remarks on county finances in Norman French,
concluding with splendid effort on oue Of the people
in Turkish adding few remarks on principle in
Russian Muscovte dialect. The affair will be mag
nifccnt. Come up and be enlightened, and carry
home with you. a pile of intellectual gems with
which to dazzle the world of science and literature
My correspondent Spikens is in trouble. Here is

CoLoMA, Aug, 80, 1854.

Dear Crow bar.
Sir There has been great commo-
ton in this town and vicinity since my last. The
history of the matter appears to be this: One
Scott, a short time since became dissatisfied with
his position upon the central committee of the
election wing of the Democracy, and resigned -
But having q desire for notoriety, concluded to
make his mark in the world so after advising with
his bosom friend, Johnson of the 'Advocate," who
by the way is great admirer of Snbad the Sailor,
resolved to take matters in his own hands. Forth
with then he proceeded to dissolve the wing Of the
party to which he had been till now attached This
feat in political tactics was accomplished, and his
part of the publication ofcards in his Miners Advo
cate withdra awing at the same time the candidates
in lump. But torsooth the candidates refuse thus
to be sold out, and repudiate this conduct in toto
The ticket then is still in the field.
Now can you tell me what business this gentle
man has with this matter more than other men
Why heis so exceedingly officioua! Why he has tur
ned to the right about face so suddenly! The hole
matter disgusts every body here and all are reioic-
ed to find that there is Importance in the disor
ganizing proceeding. Myself and neighbors have
concluded that we are not to be bought and sold
like sheep in the shamblos. There is to be several
great lies printed on the eve of the election am
told, but am unable to give you tho exact details.
You being in the court house secrets, will do me
great favor, to communicate confdentialy, imme-
diately on the receipt of this Of their plans.
remain yours &c,
