To the American Party OF Nevad. County.

10 tno American Party OF Nevada County.
GENTLEMEN As you have no official
head, or County Committee, l am COM
PEELED to address you collectively, in
order to tender my resignation of the
nomination for State Senator, which at
first unwillingly accepted. There are
now five weeks before election, and am
pie time to supply another head to your
ticket.
In the present crisis of affairs / have
no desire to throw away my vote, and
shall vote for Fremont and Dayton
My reasons are that am perfectly con-
vinced that the issue is between the
North and South-Fremont and Buch-
anan-that there is now no considerable
conservative party in the Union-no
one of sufficient strength to make head
against geographical parties-that Mr..
Fillmore cannot get a State in the
Union with the exception of California,
and that votes cast for him are thrown
away. While there was any hope of
his election l cordially supported him,
because believed he would yield JUS
tice to the North and South, with an i'm
partial hand, and / desired a national
partyto succeed. Now that the issue has
narrowed to a direct struggle between
the South and North, and no midi Gle
party can keep its footing. my educa,
ton and principles decide me for the
free north and free territory. Southern
men OF the American party in this
county have left us by hundreds,
declaring the only issue is the ex-
tension of slavery; and upon that
they are with the south. I do not
complain of their choice-they fol-
low their predictions, and 1 shall
follow mine. They are convinced by
the news from the other States that Fill
more cannot be elected-so am l. They
choose, on a sectional issue, to vote for
Buchanan-on that issue, l choose to
vote for Fremont. Further, l believe
in the construction of Pacific Railroad.
The Buchanan party has just strangled
bill for this great measure in the Sem
ate. The only hope for California that
the road will be built is in the election
of Fremont.
l therefore tender back to the Ameri-
can party the position they have as
signed me, which ! can no longer, in
justice to the party or myself, retain.

JOHN BIGLER.-It is reported that
this notorious parsonage will return to
the theatre of his scoundrelism before
the election. Let it go before the peo-
pie, that he will arrive, if at all, with a
bushel of afidavits or documents trump
ed up for the market of this State, too
late for refutation. Among them may
be expected denial that Buchanan was
ever Federalist, that he ever made a
speech in favor of ten cents day for a
laboring man, that he ever favored the
bankrupt law, &c. He will come prob
ably with voluminous testimony, manu-
factured to order to prove Buchanan
sound on the Rail Road question, &c
These are some of old Big's character
istic tricks. Look out for him.

VALE, VALE.-It will be seen in sun
dry spots in this paper that our associate
has gone to the devil. We plead with
him to the last like father with tears
in our eyes, but he is hardened sinner
bent on iniquity and we had to give him
over to hardness of heart, blindness of
mind and the mule eating candidate for
the Presidency. He aoould turn deaf
ear to our entreaties, and being natural
ly stiff-necked and rebellious it is proba
bly, as well that he is to put US to no
more trouble. In his calm and reflect
ing moments, if he ever have any such
among his crazy associates, we predict
he will often repeat and endorse with
all solemnity the following line from the
Mantuan bard:
"Fdeilis descensus Aperao est
1t is pity that he was not brought
up to square his conduct by the maxim,
put your hand to the plough and never
look ttack." He might have made
straight furrow through life instead of
the zig gag marks he is leaving behind,
warnings to the adolescent Of the pres
ent and future ages.
Our associate is nice young man but
accidents will happen in the best regu-
lated families. The smoke of Mont St.
Jean turned the brain of Napoleon, and
the mephitic vapors of the seething
cauldron Of Republicanism have carried
away the senses of the twin of the
tripod.

exceeding high estimate upon the intel

an unmitigated falsehood. 1t is said, a
seven-by-nine pettifogger has been re-
failing the same story in diluted doses in
a mining camp or two in the county. We
do not counsel the use of rotten eggs,
but if anybody deserves them, these
men do. They insult the intelligence
Of the people. There is no county in
the State whose population read more.
The Sacramento Union is circulated
extensively in even the small mining
towns of the county. and miners read it

The figures show that in the item of

DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO
HOUSES OF CoNGREss.-An extra ses-
sion was called by the President imme-
diately after the adjournment of the last
Congress, principally to procure the
passage of the Army appropriation Bill.
The President, in message to the two
Houses, declares there is imminent dan
ger of disbanding of the army if some
provision be not made for its payment.
The only difficulty which lies in the way
of an appropriation is the proviso at
tached to the Bill by the Freesoilers in
the House. With this proviso, the Re-
publicans are favorable to the Bill
The Senate is "death" on the proviso,
and thus the two Houses have come to
a dead lock.
The proviso reads as follows:
Provided, nerertheless, and 1t is herebu
declared, That no part of the military
force of the United States, for the sup
port of which appropriations are made
by this act, shall be employed in aid of
the enforcement of any enactment of
the body claiming to be the Territorial
Legislature of Kansas, until such enact
ment shall have been affirmed and ap-
proved by Congress; but this proviso
shall not be so construed as to prevent
the President from employing an ade-
quate military force, but it shall be his
duty to employ such force to prevent the
invasion of said Territory by armed
bands of non-residents, or any other
body of fnon-residents acting, or claiming
to act, as posse comitatus of any officer
in said Territory, in the enforcement #
any such enactments, and to protect the
persons and property therein, and upon
the national highways leading to said
Territory, from all unlawful searches
and seizures; and it shall be his further
duty to take efficient measures to compel
the return of, and to withhold all arms
of the United States, distributed in, OF
to said Territory, in pursuance of any
law of the United States authorizing
the distribution of arms to the States
and Territories.
