DIsCUssIoN.-On Tuesday evening last
there was discussion at the Empire Hotel,
in Auburn. between Messrs. Fitzsmmond and
Tutile, upon the political topics of the day,
as between the Democrats and Republicans
The meeting was called to order by placing
p. II. Clayton in the chair
Mr.. Tuttle opened in speech of about one
hour, and was then followed by Judge Ftz-
simmons, occupying about the same length
of time, each then came in with an answer
Of nearly an hours length. Mr.. Tuttle is one
of the best speakers on the Republican side
that there is in the county, but when the
Judge came down with an array of facts, all
the sophistry Of the shrieks for freedom fell
to the ground. Both speakers were cheered
but we are bound to say in truth that the
shouts Of the Democrats indicated numbers
and zeal far outstripping their opponents
The meeting was orderly and characterized
by the utmost good feeling. Three rousing
cheers were given for Buchanan and Breck-
enridge. and three very faint ones for the
Hero of the Woly Horse, on adiournng.

LOST HIS WAY.-The Abolition candidate for
Senator out of town Saturday last, 1--WE
know not whether he was prospecting for his po-
litical party or not) and upon attempting to re-
turn home, he lost his way. One o'clock at night
found him down on North Ravine. rapping at a
miners cabin, earnestly enquirng his way home
Our friend lost his way in this little trip, and we
think he has done so politically. Hereafter we
advise him to travel the beaten path, and not take
by-ways.

Profession and Practice.


The Fillmore men of Placer rcounty-those
who do the spouting before the people-are
endeavoring to make for themselves char
acter for nationality, by prorlaiming their
soundness on the great issue now before the
public Of the United States, viz: the right of
the people achether IN States or Territories
to form their own institutions. BY this
course they hope to retain the votes Of the
national men from the north and south who
may have heretofore acted with them, and
lest any misapprehension should obtain upon
point 30 vital, we publish below the resolu-
tions introduced into the Legislature at the
last session, and which was repudiated by
these Fillmoreites:
On the 5th of January Mr.. Brent moved
the folowng:-
WHEREAS, The admission of this State into
the Union of The United States of America
manifested practical illustration and recog
milton of the right of the people of the Terri
tories to decide for themselves whether slave
ry or involuntary servitude should or should
not exist among them. and
WHEREAS, Previous to our admission as
sovereign member Of the Union, we enjoyed
and exercised that right by declaring that
neither slavery nor involuntary servitude
should exist within our limits; and
WHEREAS. We are unwilling to deprive
our fellow citizens of the Territories of the
noble privileges which we enjoyed and ex-
ercsed in determining for ourselves that i'm
portant question Of domestic policy; and
WHEREAS, Furthermore, We regard the
act Of Congress authorizing the Territories OF
Nebraska and Kansas as emhodying and
enuncating, so far as the people Of the Ter
ritories are concerned, the re, ognition of the
same right accorded to us. and by the opera
ton of which we are now in the enjovment
of the inestimable privileges of our present
political position; therefore, he it
ReSolved, The Senate conrurling, That our
Senators and Representatives in Congress he
requested to vote against any propostiou
made therein DENYING to the people Of any
of the Territories the right of deciding for
themselves all questions of domestic nature
subject only TO the provisions of the Con
stituiion.
Resolved, The Senate concurring, That
copies of this preamble and these resolutions
be transmitted to our Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress-
Ordered to lie over under the rules
On the 10th, Mr.. Williams Of this county,
moved that the resolutions be laid upon the

tions. Among the national men whose votes
are recorded against the resolutions are

The TESTIMONY OF NEI0HBoRs.-Sn the last
issue of this paper, we are pleased to meet with
an extract confirming the sentiments we gave ut.
terance to in answer to the insnuaton Of the Press
against Mr.. McKibben. 1t is said that prophet
is not without honor, save in his own country;
but this gentleman finds defender in his neigh.
bor, and political opponent The witnesses are
the Editors of the Sierra Citizen one of the
most ably conducted. independent papers in the
State. These gentlemen account for the occupa.
ton Of Mr.. McKibben since 1850, and if they had
said even less than they have in bis defence, the
fact that he has such friends s an endorsement of
any gentleman character. Here is the extract
entire:
Joe McKibben.. The Justice Of Politicians.
"Of Mr.. McKibben it is ssd hy some of the
oldest inhabtants' of this town, that he was for
merly engaged in the same legitimate business
pursued by P. T. Herbert. and which set ms to be
q sine qua non in congressiona nominee before
Democratic convention. If this be really the
case and Mr.. McKibben should chance to be elect.
ed. the Irish walters about Washington had better
stand by to dodge. The Placer Herald has tai
ent for biography. and we would be pleased to
learn something of the antecedents OF their Con-
gressional nominees.
This rumor against the reputation of Mr.
McKbben has gained some ground-and in jus.
tice to him. needs explanation or denial"
| The above ia from the Placer Press. Auburn,
and is copied by the Sacramento .4nlsricon with
the remark that "if Mr.. McKibben has no visible
means Of occupation and is an immoral man, the
people should know it,"
The above rather shakes our faith in human jus.
tice We do not expect TO vote for Mr.. Mckibhen
we have no sympathy with his pary-but when
our friend is spoken Of as common ragrant and
| J1nr Nlp
means Of support" Mr.. McKibben came to Dow
Neville in 1850. and practicad law until be was
sent to the State Senate where he remained two
years; he was then appointed Naval Stor, ke'psr;
then Superintendent of Public Buildings. then
came back to Downieville and resumed the prac-
tice Of Law. This looks like some sort OF visible
means OF support.
Gambling was neuer his Legitimate" business
--he neuer k pit n gambling table as did P. T
Herbert and We are compelled to say that we
never saw more unjust and cowardly insnuation
than that Of the Placer Press against our friend
and political enemy. By a legitimate gambler is
meant man who kept a table. and whoever ac-
cuses Mr. McKibben of such. hes Sierra Citizen
