PEHsoNAL-Our little town of Bidwell, or
rather one portion of it, was thrown into quite
state of excitement on Thursday last by the
advent Of one Gen Drrry P Dildwn. Our
dtrH, who is an evil minded little imp, said he
guessed the Gen must be after some Office
But knowing the first great principle OF Know
Nothingism to be. that 1.-THE man must never
seek the office" we cubli not believe the Young
scamp. Our opinion is that there is an Office
after the man, which the Gen. with spirit OF
true patriotism, has mode>tly tried to avoid
but the plaguey thing has chased him through
Yuba, Sierra, Plamas. and Butte, and we do
not know how much farther The Office has
not yet succeeded in running him down, but
we shorld judge from appearances here, that
it was mp and tuck or if any difference
nip had the advantage Go it, Gen you
have our wishes for your escape.
