Miners Meeting at Kelsey.

The citizens OF kelsey and vicinity met
according to previous notice, at Kelsey on
the 18th inst, for the purpose of offering
such inducements to Brooks, Clark & Co.
as would be sufficient to induce them to
bring the water from Slate, Silver, and the
N. E. Branch of Rock Greeks, by their pro-
posed Grand Trunk Canal, to supply the
mining district Of Kelsey on both sides of the
divide. The meeting was organized by
calling P. R. HOUSE, NJ. D., to the chair,
and VIM. Lov1cE acted as secretary. DR..
House arose and stated the object of the
meeting.
DR.. Vrooman of Spanish Flat made a
few remarks on behalf of the water Co.,
when Mr.. Porter arrived and briefly stated
what the Company would do in regard to
the mode of disposing of the ditch water
which gave the mining portion of our cltl-
zens great satisfaction. The Chairman then
stated that all who wished to subscribe
could have an opportunity to do so, and
take their pay in water scrip, previous to
the adjournment of the meeting. The sub
scriptions amounted to S1O,25O.
On motion it was unanimously agreed
that the proceedings of this meeting be pub
lished in the Georgetown Neacs.
On motion the meeting adjourned.

Political Humbugs.

One of the latest and most palpable hum
bugs of the day, is the effort upon the part
of certain leaders in the Democratic par
ties, to gloss over the difficulties existing
in their ranks, by assuming at once the po-
stion of a united party; worthy and well
qualified in all its parts, to act in dignifed
and brotherly concert in all those things
touching the good and interests of the "dear
people," These self interested patriots ex-
hort the brotherhood to be watchful, to be
firm, and to guard we'll the pure and unsul-
lied principles of their noble and self-sacri-
fcing party!
Verify, what beautiful spectacle would
this selfstyled Democracy form, were their
links of brotherhood" sufficiently strong to
admit of their being held up in all their col
ors and excellencies, before the scrutinous
gaze of the world O, Democracy Thou
art name much abused-basely scandaliz-
ed. Go now, purge thyself with hyssop,
and thou shalt be clean; wash thyself" from
the bigotry and sins of corrupt party,
"and thou shalt be whittier than snow"
Let us notice the State Tribune for a
moment. In alluding to the Know Moth
ings, it says -
"Has the new party any actual existence
beyond Messrs. Randolph, Stow, Hawks
and few Others of the same sort? Is not
the Gingerbread party composed entirely
of Wings? Is it not conceded fact, that
they never expect to win under the old
name? Are they not serpents still?-hav
ing cast off the old skin, they crawl before
us in new and attractive coat of gaudy
colors But, beware of them Democrats,
for they are still the Shiny reptiles of old"
This language is alike complimentary to
the Wings and Know Nothings. AS to
the Know NothingS, we know nothing
about them, and consequently are not pre-
pared either to praise or condemn. But, as
to the Wing party, their length of days, no
matter how long or how short will proba-
bly, be equal, at least, to that Of "Democra-
cy." We regard the above effort of the
Tribune as the convulsive death struggle
of a once powerful, but now degraded and
helpless party. We would not, therefore,
abuse them, but will allow their own prais-
es to sink with them into the quiet solitudes
of political death.
For the sake of party issues, we shall
hope for their resurrection; but not, howev-
er, until they have passed through the "re
fning fre"-the ordeal of true American
principles.

Ar HOME March 18th 1855.

Dear Neacs::- ou have ever been a vel
come visitor at our freside and as | have
weekly perused your columns, I have found
a few items on "Know Nothings," and eve
ry paper l take up, contains more or less in
relation to Know Nothingism Now, as it
seems to be such nice thing to know moth
ing, I would ask the citizens of Georgetown
what they think of society of Say Moth
ings?
The rules of the society should be such as
would debar its members from saying any
thing against each other; that is, church
members should say nothing against those
of a different denomination; politicians,
nothing against the opposite party; law
yers, doctors, editors, &C., nothing against
lawyers, doctors and editors. Then it would
be such nice society for the ladies, as (you
are well aware,) they are always talking
about their neighbors, the fashions, the
beauX, and various other things, they had
better say nothing about. l think such a
society would contribute more to the pub
lie good than any other in existence.
SAY NOTHING.

LARCENY.-A young man started from
Spanish Flat on last Monday morning, on
horseback, with gold dust to the value of
twenty-three hundred dollars. The gold
was placed in bag and swung to the horn
of the saddle. On his way to Georgetown
the horse threw the young man and came
alone with the dust to Georgetown and stop
ped at the door of his accustomed stable.
In his passage through the street the gold
was, according to evidences, noticed by sew
eral witnesses; and at the door of the stable
also, it was noticed as before on the horn of
the saddle, A young man attending the
stable, as he took immediate charge of the
horse, says that he saw nothing of the bag
of gold, and denies any knowledge of it.
Upon the evidence above stated he was
brought before the Justice of the Peace,
who considered the evidences of his guilt
sufficiently strong, to bind him over for his
appearance at the County Court, in the
sum of 900 dollars.
