ence Reports were not all read, and when
they were read but one or two members list
ened 10 them. Among the items lost we are
sorry to notice the sum of $4,000 advanced
by Peabody, Of London, to save the Ameri-
can branch Of the Crystal Palace at London,
from positive national disgrace. The Senate
passed the amendment, and the House disa-
greed by one majority only.
During the debate on the veto of the Riv-
er and Harbor bill, Mr.. Richardson, Of Lii
nois, who engineered the bill to extend slavery
into Kansas, expressed dissent from the Pres
ident's course. He has got as much OF load
as he can staggcr under, packed up in the Kau-
nsas BILL without shouldering the snag policy.
Harry Hubbard squeaked out his approval of
his masters message.
The various Committees of Investigation

Hon. D. P, Thompson 1T may be proper for
me to say a few words in relation to nay nomina-
tion for the Senate.
Idid not expect OR desire denomination, and
had attended the Convention, should have de-
clined at the time, for it was net my wish to run
for any efRce in the present campaign. On
hearing Of the nomination, Immediately re-
questcd the County Committee to substitute
some other name for mine before the doings of
the Convention were published. This, however,
was not done, and my name appeared upon the
ticket.
then concluded to let the matter rest until
it was ascertained what was to become of the
Republican party organized at Montpelier on
the 18th of July, and what action this and
other counties took under that organization. 1t
will be remembered thata resolution was passed
at that Convention oct Of which the following
is an extract
eve do, as Wings, Free Democrats and Dem
scrats, freely relinquish our former party associ
ations and lies, to form a new party organisa-
ton, having for its object the blessings OF liberty
to ourselves to our postcrity, and wise, just
and economical administration of the Govern
ment"
The Convention held in this County on the
9th of August, took no notice of this organiza-
ton and the candidates put in nomination IA
number of whom attended the Convention on
tie 18th of Jcly) are claimed by tie Wachmaa
as being hay Wings and haf Demo rats or
Free Democrats. In most, if not all, the other
counties, union has proved failure, and the old
organizations are kept up In Congressional
nominations the Wings run their regular cAndi-
dates, without requiring them to relinquish their
former " associations and ties" The union of
the 18th of July is lost sight Of, and the Free
Soil party make separate nominations, or none at
all No common union of those opposed to the
extension of Slavery can be expected, and have
concluded to suffer my name to remain before
the public. In doing so, conform to the ex-
pressed wishes of many personal and political
friends, some of whom have been long devoted
to the cause OF Freedom. My views in relation
to the eriens'on Of S'arey, the passage of the
Nebraska Bill, and other subjects that agitate
the puhlic mind, trust, are well known to the
voters in this County. They have undergone
no late change, and hope, ifelccted, to be able
to satisfy the great mass Of voters in the County
! On TIE question Of Freedom, and all others. If
s'mc other person o4M be e'e d instead of
myself rope, and perhaps may safely expect,
the County will be better served.

the help of this Slavery fropaganding Admia-
istration, to control its desSnies We trust to
Heaven not. But If the North would not, Its
people must move earnestly in the matter. Let
that Missouri line be manned, ten to one OF
their Southern opponents, by the hosts of Free
dom-by men who are neither to be bribcd or
frightened cut of their Anti-Slavery and free
labor principles, by Southern bluster and South
ern Bowie-knives, but who will oppose unshrink-
ing resolution to the one, and, il need be,
Northern rifles to the other. The only claim
Slavery can have to this territory has been
gained by fraud, treachery and bribery, which
can give no claim, but which sheuld be resisted
to the death, This the South, were it their case,
would certainly do; and this, if majorities are
not allowed, by unbiased action, to rule, the
North must do. Kansas must be a free State

COUNTY POLITICS.

WASHINGTON CoUNTY--The Republican tick
ct of this County having now become settled BY
the excellent selection, by the County Commit
tee, eff Mr. Chase, to fill The place of Mr.. Keith,
the aeminee of the Convention, for Judge OF
Probate who early made known his wish to de-
cline, we have this week given the ticket the
first xaece in the columns of the Freeman. And
this We do for two reasons because it Is most
in consonarfce with the State ticket we have
concluded to support-hecause We esteem 1t not
safairly constituted for carrying out the prln-
ciple on which We have contcnded the new par
ty should be built up, and because, as this new
movement seems to be the order Of the day, and
as tue Anti-Slavery sentiment of the Country is
lekly for the present at least, to take this form
of action, we wish to hold all those of the old
parties, who profess to join lis in the new move
ment, snugly to the bit.
And, secondly, we give it this place because
we have become convinced that the great body
of our Free Democratic patrons have come to
the conclusion that, under all the circumstan-
ces, it is their duty to support that ticket, in
order to have their safragcs count, distinctly
and without any chance for misconstrnction,
against t.e Slavtry-propiga ndins measures, and
schemes of the present Administration, and, 30
concluding, expect us thus to insert it.
CALEDONIA CouNTY.-We this week also in
sert the County ticket Of tho recent Republican
Convention of Caledonian County, which, as
far as we can Judge, is not only constituted on
the right principle, but consists of judicious
selection Of good mon, and goes to make up "a
ticket which will be satisfactory to the Anti
Slavery men of all partiesin that County.
ORANGE CovNTY.-We defer the insertion of
the County ticket or tickets to another week,
till after the Free Democratic Convention to be
held on the 18th, in,thc hope that the affairs
of that County may settle down on some one
ticket that will command the entire support OF
at least, the Free Democracy of that County.
ORLEANS CouNrY.-The people of this Coun,
ty do not agree to 60 into the new movement.
We therefore insert, as it comes to us, Free
Democratic ticket, headed by one of the oldest
and ablest Anti-Slavery men of this State.
The proceedings of the Conventions in La
noble and Essex Connti have not reacle Us.

MAssAcnusETrs.-The Wings of Massachusetts,
refusing to come into the new movement, held
State Convention at Boston, last week, and
nominated the incumbents, Washburn and Plum
ket, for Governor and Lieut.. Governor But
we predict that the Republican ticket, which
will be nominated at the great new party Con-
Sention' to be held in September, will make
terrible inroad on the old and aristocratic Whir
party OF that State, as will the new party on
both the old parties in all the States--if bu;lt
upon right principles

Mr.. EDITOR AS political workers are
at work, let me say to my fellow-citizens, bepare
Of their traps! Look well to your Representa-
tives. These you know, and be careful that no
man has your vote, unless he is sound Oh the
two great points--Temperance and Slavery. If
the House is sound on these points, all will come
out we'll They can control the rest. With a
good Lieutenant Governor, we can get along
very well. Give your votes for Governor, every
one as he pleascs, and accosling to the dictates
of your own conscienccs; but let no sideway
consideration induce you to give your vote for
a Senator, or Representative who bankers
after the bowl, or would Lod slaves were he
south Of Dixon's Line. Soc that you keep
clean conscience, and let no one have seat, by
your vote, in the House, who will not boldly lift
up his hand against tho God-provoking, land
defling sins of Intemperance and Slavery.

FIREMENs BENEFIT AT SPEECH
Of Miss HERoN.-On the evening of April sth,
Miss Matilda Heron closed her brilliant profess
,ional sojourn in Marysville with performance
or the benefit Of the fire department OF that
city. The distinguished actress appeared as
Blanca. The Herald, Of the 10th, says:
She held that vast audience spell.bound, by
The force OF her extraordinary genius, and when
called before the curtain, AT the close OF the
tragedy, perfect hurricane of bouquets saluted
her; beautiful wreath was among the other
offerings, and she seemed to prize it highly.
AS soon as lull occurred iii the thunder Ut the
paudits, she, although evidently laboring under
intense excitement, spoke, as near as we can
recollect, as follows. There was beautiful
simplicity in her eloquence, as it came trembling
and gushing from her heart:
"sLADIEs AND GENTLEMEN: This is not the
first time that California has strewed my path
with flowers, and crowned me with its love. /
have not come before you to make speech;
never made speech. When / appear before
an audience that love very much, i sometimes
stop aud have chat with them, and feel just
nov that | should like to have long chat nth
you. But scarce know what to say, you have
so confused me with your kindness.
Three months ago reached California,
nameiess wanderer and in that short space of
time she has not only given me what l chiefly
came in search OF, my health, but she has
crowned me with fame, enriched me with dear
friends, and given me the foundation Of an am
pie fortune. God bless California! She has
been TO me like a wise, fond aud indulgent
mother. She has gratted my every wish, iul-
filled my every hope, and raised ue to PIN
nace OF happiness, whence look back at what
and where was three months ago, aud won
der at myself. 1t is then / raise my heart to
Heaven with thanks and praise | In it have
ever put my trust, and it has never broken faith
with me.
knowing now, my dear friends, how many
sweet causes have to love the people OF Cali
fornia, and may add the press OF California
for it has made me what ] am and what may
be--you will not think fatter, nor doubt me
when say that | never aoiU, that never can,
forget you!
- go to leave you, soon; go to Europe,
where hope, by study and practice, to perfect
myself in my beloved profession and TO sustain
IN it the high position your kindness has ac-
corded me- / will then return to that people
and that press, who first encouraged me with
their love and care aud make my home with
them forever Till then, and then and ever,
believe me, friends, the recollection Of the kind
ness have received from the people and press
OF Marysville will occupy the dearest corner in
my memory and my heart.
" 4 have but one word more to add, and scarce
can utter it-iarewell, dear friendsl And may
God protect and bless you. PLACER Times.
