We are no, surprised a, .he alarm Of The.
Statesman. The gian, blows which Wade,
-Chase, AMI ihs Republican orators 0. Ohio
are giving tho Slave Democracy, are fsl,
beyond the limits Of our own State :.

that Messrs. Chase and Wade stand on Thai

The editor Of the Statesman is perfectly
aware Of this. He knows that these gentle.
men distinctly deny all such views as are
imputed TO Them. He is aware thai he is
misfepresenling ,hem., and circulating a vile
falSehood for political effect. Does he hope
to deceive the voters Of Ohio by such
means? . -is2
While the Republicans distinctly and EN-.
phsIically discIaim all right or intention to
interfere with Slavery in the States, they as
distinctly proclaim their determination. to
reRst the aggfessions Of The Slave power
upon the rights Ct the North. For this pur.

continue to labor, Is there freeman who
has the spiri. above tina, Of Siaus in him
that does not desire TO express his strong
disapprobaiion Of that great fraud, and his

We have as much pride in the welfare and
glory of the Empire County as our neigh
Dor, and all cur interests are identified with
FL Dorado. With her prosperity or adver
Sity we rise or fall. 1t is true that we
sought not nor desired the honor which this
noble county has freely offered, but still it
was mark of favor which was gratefully
received, and it is hoped will not be regret
ted by the county which has conferred it.
Again, our cotemporary intimates equal
ly as enormously. that we came to this coun-
ty for Office. This is entirely inconsistent
with former statement of that gentleman
when he argued truly that we had taken no
active part in politics. We say truly, for
politics was not our trade. Wewere enga-
ged in the same business as our cotempora-
ry, besides having another calling which
together were sufficient, and much more
profitable than the office, which he intimates
we had solicited. As a gentleman he should
correct it.
After the above quotation follows brlei
biography Of the editor Of the Mountain
Democrat written by D. w. Gelwieks, Esq
In this he tells his readers when he came to
California, where he pitched his tent and
how he has ''since then always bOaSted OF
the place where he happened to stop. II
like our cotemporary we "vainly supposed
that biography as interesting as the eabove
would be read with much interest, then 1t
might be given; but as it might be regarded
as showing ''more zeal than good taste or
Judgment" we will not trouble him or the
reader with anything of the kind.
In conclusion we must repeat, that the
American party does not recognize the right
or propriety of the Democrat to dictate ID
any manner its policy. He denies IN an
other article that he has done so, and calls
for proof. We refer him to his own paper,
and more especially to that article in the
last, wherein he says that he had "vainly
supposed every one of the successful party
would endorse" his views.
"Now, in the name of all the Gods at once,
Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed
! That he is grown so great"
