MusIc ny SrEAM-This is the latest inven-
ton of Yankee. A machine has been ap

fully equal to that produced by the fullest
and best bands whichs may be distinctly
heard over the water q distance of ten miles
IowA.-Ihc recent triumph in this State
over the Democracy was obtained by fusion
Of the Fremont and Fillmore men; and now
they arc quarreng at a round rate which
shall claim the victory They will probably
nal be united on the 4th November. and lust
as sure as they are not, Buchanan will carry
the State. The Democracy there are in high
glce
PoIuTcs Some Of our readers inquire
why we fill up so much of our paper with
politics? Inauswcr we have to say. because
it is duty we owe to ourselves, our party
and our county to DO all we possibly can, in
this fearful crisis, to secure the triumph of
Democratic principles; and because politics
so engross the public mind that there is moth
ing else of interest stirring. BE patient one
month longer.
MEXICO The new government, under
Comonfort appropriated much of the inn
mense revenue Of the church for purposes of
state, and the consequence is that the clergy
are doing their utmost TO overthrow the ex-
isting dynasty.
A GooDLY number Of emigrants, stopping
iu Carson Valley to recruit their stock, may
shortly be expected on this side of the noun
tains. If they do not come pretty soon they
may be expected, from present appearances,
to remain where they arc until next spring.
SIANDEerNG THE DEAD-The Republican
papers say that the renowned Judge Kent,
author of the Commentaries, presided at a
recent Fremont meeting in New York
Judge Kent has been dead these ten years
THE intrigues of France and Spain arc
freely discussed in Cuba. No doubt the
next Administration will be called upon to
request Louis Napoleon to mind his oicn
business
" Du, TELL !"-The Cql Americaa says;
Buchanan-crusty old bacholor-has no
show at all with the women They are down
on him" Well, Fillmore and the Woolley
Horse can have all the female yots, if they
want them, and Buck will take those Of
the other gender.

Hon. d. o. SHArrucK, Judge of the Sup

Ma, C-o-N-scIENcE The Hon. Judge
II. N.Wood, formerly County Judge, now
Fillmore candidate for Elector, &c, &c, has
that he will devote the last week
Of the campaign to stumping Amador county.
Wonder how Scott and bis friends "like the
picture!"
Thar sterling Democraticpapor, the Unioa
Democratic, of Tuolumne speaks of the Hon
W. b. Norman, candidate for Senator from
this District in the highest terms, and pre-
lcts his triumphant election. Right, neigh
Dor; the people have tried Mr.. Norman and
having found him true as steel, they intend
TO continue him in their service
"ANorHER DEMocRAr GoNEn- Under this
head the Boston Journal says "ox-Senator
Ben Tappan, Of Steubenville, Ohio, has gone
over to Fremont" and thereupon cries out
that the Democrats have lost their most
Influential man in the State" To our per-
sonal knowledge, Tappan has not been a
Democrat for many years. He was, blythe
by, one OF the chief constructors Of the cele-
