Of its peope-thc transfer OF slaves from State

of a man from whom the country has every
thing to expect and nothing to fearp To support the
opposing ticket Of Mr. Fillmore could lead to
cessul result, there be reasonable calcula

thus devolve the election upon the House of Repre-

Mr.. Rayner's Letter.

We asserted in our last, after careful reading Of
Mr.. Rayner's letter, that no man could endorse it
and at the same time be true to North Carolina
The more we think of it the more we are confirmed
in this opinion of it. 1t is bold unblushng prop
osition to the abolitionists to make common cause
against the South. 1t invites anti.slavery" men
to combine with Southern men against the Democ-
racy, the only national party in the country 1t is
response to Ford and Spooner, and Seward, and
Hale, and Gardner; and they are, in substance told
that the South asks from them and their associates
no pledge that they will respect her rights. 1t is
not loyal in its tone towards Mr.. Fillmore; but the
secret hope of the writer is betrayed, that the ee
ments ofopposition to the Democracy may take new
forms and result in new nominations. 1t proposes
to o"ignore to set aside-to refuse to consider,
question involving fifteen hundred millions worth
of property, the equality of the States, and the
peace the safety, and the lives of the Southern peo
Pile! 1t is an unworthy, disgraccful letter. Its
author will at fall irretrievably in public esti.
nation wherever it is read in the South; and he will
make nothing by ii in the North for the free
soers there entertain more respect for the South
ern politician who stands up for his rights than they
do for one who truckles and yields to their demands
They look upon such politician pretty much as the
Whig Know Nothings regard Democrat. who takes
their oaths and remains with them,-thcy are graf.
lied at the treason, because it may advance their
selfish views, but they despise the traitor.
This letter, be it remembered is from the pen of
the founder and leader of the Enoao Nothinqs of
North Carolina. The newspapers of that faction
do not dare approve it. They publish it. and, as
the Register observes, they speak of it as vind-
cation Of what he Mr. Rayner deems the prin-
ciples of AmericaniSm." Mr.. Gilmer sArnks from
it-endeavors 10 avoid any expression of opinion
about it; and when pressed on the subject is silent
Mr.. Rogers, of this County, says he has read
1t, and has, therefore, no opinion about it! We
learn that the Democratic candidates in this County
are commenting upon this letter with great force
and effect; and that, ior example, on Wednesday
last at Witherspoons when Mr.. Lewis read extracts
rom it and characterized it, as he did in severe
erms the indignation of the people Of all parties
was marked and most apparent. We again call up
friends in all the Counties to hold this letter
up in its true character before the people, with the
Stockton and Rayner platform, which it endorses
Compel the X. N. candidates to approve the letter
either in so many words, or by silence, or to de.
nounce and repudiate its author. Leave them nc
room for escape Bring it home to them and to the
people; and let it be known from every stump what
are the position and views Of the Know Nothings o.
the State OIL the slavery question: spoken for and
represented by their founder and leader, Kenneth
Rayncr.

description of this lake.
"Bigler Lake is noble sheet of water,
forty five miles in length, and at this point
fifteen miles wide All along the western
shore of the lake. the water does not exceed
five feet in depth to the distance of about
twenty rods from the shore. 1t then evil
IDENTIFY becomes very deep, as there is a well
defined line of deep blue extending parallel
with the shore. The bottom of the lake, so
far as | explored it, is composed of soft
granite rock, covered over with fine parti-
cies of granite or sand aad round washed
gravel, resembling the gravel in the hill dig
gngs in many places in Placer county. The
view of the lake and surrounding mountains
is most magnificent The lake is entirely
closed in with mountains and it is impossi-
to detect the outlet by which Truckee River
flows from it unless you are in the lmmedi-
ate vicinity of the river.
