A Bcncyoient naIssioa.

During our late absence from home,
we came across o man whose mission
seemed to be to convince tie Black Re-
publican party that q white man was just
as good as a negro. In reply to our in
terrogatory as to how he was succeeding,
he said every poorly" He stated, how
ever, that he chad found one man of that
party who would agree that the moral
and religious portion of our white popu-
lation was as good as niggers; and another
that agreed that as a general thing he be-
lieved the whites were as good as the
blacks, when they behaved themselves
This last admission SO encouraged the
missionary that he concluded to continue
in his benevolent work. He will probably
visit this place, when the small minority o.
our citizens who favor Fremont will be
duly waited upon.

MIDDLE CREEK, O., June 25th, 1856.
Editor Of Spirit Of Democracy:
SIR 4 enclose herein $3.50, for which
you will please send the esprit " during
the campaign, to the following persons,
E. P. Sullivan, S. Hesson, L. D. Picker
ing, VIM. II. Kirkman, VIM Smith, and
j. Smith; Twill soon send you more names
and money.
am, if possible, more than ever con-
vinced, that the Democratic party, true to
its old landmarks and to a present high
duty, is the only party that plants itself
on principles which are essential to a
maintenance of the Constitution, and
the preservation of the Union. 1t will
have to encounter, this fall, those factions
WHO have liberty emblasoned on their ban
aers, bit treason fostering IN their hearts.
The honor and prosperity of our coun-
try are safe only under the administration
of the Democratic party; and in the pres
ent peculiarly critical position of our for
eign and domestic affairs, it behooves eve
ry patriotic and truly conservative citizen,
to rally under the democratic standard in
the ensuing campaign for the preservation
Of the Union.
We hail the nomination of James
Buchanan, for President of the United
States, az that Of the soundest Statesman
and ablest exponent of democratic prin-
ciples which the country affords. He
will command, as he deserves, the conf
dence of the whole community of con
servative, and high-minded men. Those
who have been alarmed at the spread of
ultraism, at the North and South, and
the utter recklessness with which political
adventurers are playing their desperate
games, will feel that the Union will be
safe in his hands. His past consistency
as d public man as we'll as the compre-
hcnsiye national platform on which he
stands, concurs in placing him before the
people under circumstances peculiarly ia
vorable, and prophetic of success. Not
only will every true democrat vote for him
and work for him, but thousands of men
little known in politics, and who seldom
go to the polls. will be there this fall, to
say by their snffrages that this mad agi-
tation which is disgracing 3he country,
must be stopped-that they believe the
principles of the democratic party are those
of the Constitution, and that its policy is
the trne one of the country. This, / be-
lieye, and much more will be expressed by
the popular majority which the Demo
cratic Electoral Ticket will receive III
1 November next.
/ intend that my influence, however
small, shall be exerted to its utmost ex.
tent, for the success of the democratic
cause. The present state of things i'm.
periously demands, that the principles o.
the democratic party should triumph and
prevail. ALFRED OGLE.

Know ~Nothingism.

The last resolution in the Platform of
the Black Republican party reads as fol-
lows:
Resofved, That we invite the utilization
aud corporation of the men of all par
ties, however differing from us in other
respects, in support of the principles
herein declared; and believing that the
spirit of our institutions, as well as the
Constitution of our country, guarantees
liberty Of conscience and equality of rights
among citizens, we oppose all Legislation
impairing their security.
This resolution was intended as a bait
to catch foreign votes, and upon hastily
reading il, would seem to imply that it
goes far enough to satisfy all>anti-Know
Nothings. But mark the language well.

nothing that would bar thut party, if in
power, from forever DISTINGUISHING all
aliens now in the country or who may
hereafter come into it. !.

HoHouov,s Ointment and Pills q certa;

HOHoway's Ointment and Pills a certain
Cure for Scald Heads.-Henry, II, Ma
ria, 10, and John Ames, 8, of Apalaehi-
colo, Florida, were all three affected with
this malady; Maria in particular was
in a wretched plight with it, and although
there were many remedies tried, yet the
malady did not seem to decrease, indeed
the disease spread itself all over the sur
face of the head, to the great annoyance
of the parents and discontinue of the
child; the blood of the others was equally
impure. AT last the parents put the three
under a course of Holloway's Ointment
and Pills, which cured them all in'the
space of nineteen days. Their health has
since considerably improved. These rem
edies are wonderfully eficacious in all dis
eases of the skin.

BUDDHISM OF CHINA.-An organiza-
ton of some thousand Chinese in Califor-
MIA, have dedicated a Buddihistic temple
in San Francisco, where they worship
Ching-tai. an idol of a famous Chinese
warrios who lived about 1900 years ago,
aud conducted himself so bravely on earth
that, at his death, he was elevated to di-
vine honors. A representation of the in
terror of this temple, which has been sent
from San Francisco, exhibits the immor-
tai Ching in o sitting position, with a
magnificent m%oustache of very long horse
hair. lie is clothed with rich garments,
and his knees adorned with jewels and
precious stones. His face, we are told, is
very red, made so, perhaps, by the blood
of his enemies, or by his bushes at his ex-
a~ltation among the divinities. The priests
kncel and bow to this idol, pour out liba-
tons and chaunt hymns, accompanied
with gongs and cymbals, and a shrill in
strument, for which the Chinese have no
name. The sounds are endured by the
Chinese with a placidity perfectly unac
countable to s'outsiders." Nearly every
nation on the face of the globe has helped
to people the United States. and we have
now nearly all the professed religions in
the world, from Christianity to bastard
NOLAN e |; nism rs in Utah, and now
idol worship in California.

DIscuss1oN.-The Fremont party had
better wait till they recover from their
disasters and defeats in the discussions Of
last fall, before again challenging the
Democrats. Never were a set of stump
ers SO thoroughly demolished as they then
were. A discussion this fall viii show a
similar result. All in good time, gentle
men.

Since the nomination of Fremont it
has become a question to know from
whence he halls. One Fremont paper,
we have seen, has his name at its mast
head as from South Carolina; another
as from California; and q third as from
New York. We know not how many
other States may be put down as claim
ing the honor of his present residence.
The Convention that nominated him did
wrong in not resolving that he had a resi-
dence some place in the United States,
SO that there would not be such utter
confusion in locating him.

Ex-president Fillmore, who has been
residing in Europe for the past year, ar
rived in hi place last night, a. about

1t was now certain that the Atlantic was.

nothing committees, together with the
Committee of the Common Council. pro-.
ceeded to Collins dock, at the foot Of
Canal street. On the arrival of the At,
lantic at her dock, about a thousand peo-
pie had assembled on the pier. At last
the gang plank was made secure to the
vessels side, aud the Committee went on 2
board, and proceeded to the cabin where's
Mr.. Fillmore was waiting to receive them.s
After the usual shaking of hands, Alder
man Briggs congratulated him on his safe
arrival to his native land, and extended
the hospitalilies of the city Of New York
to him.
Mr.. Fillmore, in a neat speech, thank,
ed them for the fattering reception her
had received He was then escorted to .
carriage, and the crowd formed in pro-
cession five abreast and proceeded to tho@
st. Nicholas Hotel, On their arrival att
the hotel, they found a large crowd of pee
pie waiting, by which he was literally
overwhelmed. Finally, by main strength,
the committee carried him into the room.
The crowd outside became impatient, aud !
loudly commanded the committee to "fetch6
him. outl' He finally made his appear
ance on the balcony, when silence was re-
stored. Mr.. Fillmore heartily thanked
them for this very unexpected welcome
back to his native land. Three groans
were then given for the negro worshipers
with a hearty good will, and the crowd
separated for their homes.-N. r. Pa

With the American Valley road. Il IS

with the American Valley road. 1t Is
quite probable that good wagon road
could be built over the proposed section;
but neither policy or necessity demand
it, There is already good road from
Marysville TO The northern line Of Butte
County, and on a more direct route.
The people along this route have spent
thousands of do lars in building this
road, and the county has also made ap,
preparations for the same object. They
are now informed that a road can be
built which will do away with the pres
ent one, and accommodate OrovIile.
VIII Orovlle build tie road Every
person in the county is aware of her in
ability to do so. But let the county
seat be located at OroyiIle and all would
see the necessity of building some twelve
miles of mountain road, in order to
connect with road which the people
and the county have already built, and
the authorities would be beseiged until
they consented to build the road at the
expense of the ax-payers Of tie county
Almost the same may be said with re-
gard to county buildings. Although the
bill provides that the buildings shull be
furnished the county free Of charge, it
viii be found, should removal be ef-
tected, by tie time the buildings are put
in order for the reception Of the Records
the taxpayers Of the couoty would bl
called upon to foot snug little bill In
deed it has been hinted By those in ia
vor of removal, that the county vii
make an Appropriation 10 aid in Tx
erection of suitable buil4in S. This re-
duces the removal question to one o
sectional Importance only, and is virtu-
ally calling upon the taxpayers Of the
county to buid up one v'llaga, By the
construction Of roads and buildings, al
the cx9ense of another. 1t is asking
those who have business in the country
above Us, to extend their travel some ten
or twelve miles for the purpose of trav-
cling through Oroyille. 1t is asking th'
county to abandon the direct line @
communication through the county, ant
build another of greater length. Arc
not these considerations worthy the at
tention of the taxpayers of the county
and sufficiently "crushing" and "Ponder
Gus" to induce the editor of the "Nortl
Californian" to prefer the witty article:
