TUoLUS1NE CoUNTY.-The factionsts in
this county have nominated a county ticket in
opposition to the democracy. The Sonora
Herald, which has heretofore supported the
regular democratic ticket, has hauled down
that flag. and run up that of the factionists.
We were somewhat surprised to see paper
protesting to be democratic pursue such a
course, but when our eye fell upon the follow
ing paragraph the mystery of the Heralds
course was fully explained. 1t calls the tick
ct it now supports ''the true democratic tick
et." Of course it is:
"The other name on the Assembly ticket is
that of our humble self. We are no flee
seeker-we have no great desire or haglkeling
that way-but we feel proud of tn compli
ment paid us by the true democratic oonven-
ton, and if elected we shall endeavor to laj'h
fully represent the people of this county, and
to be ever mindful of the true inte rests of the
State"
Funny-isn't it.
Butte record., 1854-09-02
Funny-isn't it.

SLLY-"Granite," the Chico CORRESPOND
ent of the Marysville Herald, asks some very
silly questions concerning the fitness of Mr..
Dangerfeld for the Office of District Judge.
Now we confidently assert that, those who are
acquainted with the two candidates for the
Office of District Judge, if they are not preju-
diced by party feeling, and are actuated by a
desire to see the bench of this district occu-
pied by an able and efficient. officer, will cast
their votes and influence for Dangerfield.
But because Mr.. Dangerfeld has absent from
his residence in Shnsta for the past few
months, attending to the duties of Temporal
ry Office, Granite wisely inquiries sis he
eligible"' He also accuses Mr. Dangerfed of
being s'bolter' because he run as an indie
pendent candidate for the efice two years
since The large vote he then received, is the
best evidence we can adduce of his popularity,
and to show that he has many warm whig
friends. Notwithstanding Mr. Dangerfeld
ran as an independent democratic candidate,
the whig candidate was defeated, thus show
ing that Mr.. Dangerfeld drew nearly half of
his support from the whig ranks If Mr..
Dangerfeld is such terrible bolter, what
are the wings who supported him in prefer
ence to the whig nominee' For our part we
were glad to see it, as it showed determine
tion on the part of the people to vote for the
man best qualified to fill that office. and that
is all we ask of them now We have no par
ticular desire to see strictly party man oc-
cupy the bench of this district. If soapstone
beg pardon-"Granite' has, he should
cease his correspondence, since such silly
twaddle is calculated to operate against his
own candidate.
Here is what the Shasta Courier, neutral
paper, thinks of the Tehama nomination:
Mr. Dangerfeld is an old resident of Shasta
and is we'll qualified in every way for the dis
tinguished and responsible position of District
Judge After the difficulty heretofore expe-
rienced by the Democracy in nominating a
candidate for this office, it is a matter of con
graduation to the party the second convention
has chosen man 50 capable, and so exten
sively and favorably known to the people of
the District at large. Probably no man that
the Convention could have chosen can boast of
more warm personal and political friends than
MIR. Dangerfeld.'

DIDN'T DO Ir.-Mr Barber has failed To
comply with our request, and give the public
his views upon the Nebraska measure AL
though the whig papers claim the Nebraska
bill as settled question, still there is party
rallying for its repeal, and it is important to
know how those aspiring to public places.
stand upon this question But Mr. Barber is
non -committal. Won't the gentlemans for
mer course permit him to state his present
views' 1t would have gratifed US much to
have heard political oponion from this wo
be legislator. But after all person enter
tanning such sentiments as have occasionally
leaked from Mr.. Barber, would get along the
better by not talking too much.

GREAT BR,rAlS AND THE UNITED SrATEs-AS
ISPoRTASr MovEBENT.-Some OF the letter-wri
ters state that at the close of the debate in the Sem
ate on the 10Th inst, the Central American ques
ton, Mr.. Clayton distinctly indicated the mode by
which that question will become very important
and practical one at early day. Having vindi-
Gated the treaty itself, and shown that il excluded
Great Britain altogether frsm Central America
and that her colony OF the Bay Islands was prac
teal violation Of the treaty, he gave notice Of his in
teution, unless the British Government reconsider
the dispatches of Earl Clarendon. sent to the SEN
ate few days ago, to introduce bill placing az the
disposal of the President the military and naval
force of the United States to enable him TO compel
Great Britain to iuf the sipuatious of the treaty
aud pledeiug the revenues Of the United States for
the expenses attending such action. This will pre-
sent case that will practically test the sincerity
OF the advocates, theoretically, of the Monroe doc
trine. And it brings the question under discussion
also direct issue. involving an abandonment by
Great Britain OF her Bay Islands colony which MI
Cas- believes she never will give up II will thus
be seen that the debate just closed was not mere
personal contest between two Senator'S but that at
least so far as Dir. Clayton's remarks we're con
cerned, It was necessary to prepare the public
mind tor the practical issue to which he from the
Fret intended to bring this subject-Bah. sun.
