Facts for the People

The voters of California will not fail TO
remember, that the Know Nothing authori-
ties Of the State have failed TO pay the in
terest due on our Bonds in New York. That
although the State furnished the none, for
that purpose, it was not used as the tax
payers intended but, as asserted by At
lantic papers, for the purpose of securing
the success Of the Black Republican ticket.
That it was staked ut a game Of Ere monte :
Wien the People are asked to vote for Fre-
mont, let them remember that they have
procure his nomination; and when asked to
vote for Fillmore, let them remember that
It was Fillmore men who placed the money
whore it could be usel for such unholy pur-
poses We doubt not but that portions Of
This fund were used for the purpose Of Sc
curing the passage Of the bill quieting land
titles in California, which had it passed.
would have secured Palmer, Cook & Co. g
title to the Boullon & Barron claim, and en-
of Mariposa from their claims Never be-
fore was such stupcndous fraud attempted
upon the people Of California. And who
attempted this grand swindle' The very
men who now want the people to sustain
them hy voting for Fillmore. The Know
Nothing8 placed the funds of the State in
the hands of the Black Republicans, who
used it to forward their political schemes.
Let the people remember the parties to these
owindling Transactions.

q" IIOwLING FOR FI!LMoRE"--It is n IA
voritc assertion of the Fillmore Press, that
California is " bowling for Fillmore" The
Tax payers Of California may we'll howl to
know why the Fillmore authorities of State,
instead of paying the interest due in New
York with the money provided for that pur-
pose, placed it where it could be used to
purchase men and presses to < shrek for
Freedom and to secure the nomination of
Fremont, The Washington Evening Star
says;
In Wall street it is currently said that
the missing 500 900 went to fix delegations
in the Republican Convention for Fremont, ,
principally from the West, instead of TO dis
charge the honest Obligations of the State Of
California"
The people Of California will howl for
Fillmore aud 'Frcmort' with vengeance,
when they understand that they have been
taxed one hundred thousand dollars by the
Fillmore authorities of State, to aid the po.
litical gamblers Of the nation. But, say the
Washington press, the State will immediately
provide for the payment of this interest,
How Why by paying the interest again |!
OF course they will, and according to the
Know Nothing and Abolition presses of the
State are still bowling for Fillmore and
''howling for Fremont =

DEMoCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
Whether intended or not, it is nevertheless
gratifying fact, that the Democratic State
Convention will meet on the anniversary of
the admission of California into the Union.
Now, when the hcllsh factions of dlsunion
are rife in the land, that the Democracy
should meet on that day, and show their de-
votion to the Union, by presenting National
men for Congress, and the expression of
union Democratic sentiment What more
day to place in nomination men
who, by their triumphant election, will show
that California is still devotcdly attached to
the Union.

Mr.. John Myers, Of New Plymouth, in
this county, informed us on last Monday that
he heard Mr.. John B. Weller and Nc. J as.
Myers each make speech in Columbus, on
the preceding Tuesday evening, in favor of
Fremont and Dayton. This is enough to
satisfy all that there is no hoax about these
gentlemen going for the freedom nominees.
Mineral Region Herald.
The above is like most of the facts rela-
tive to politics to which the Herald gives
currency. Although it is true that Myers
has declared in favor Of Fremont, it is also
true that he has been a free soilcr in senti-
ment for several years past. 1t waswell
understood last winter in Columbus that he
approved of the Black Republican move
ment. We have carefully looked over the Co
lumbus papers to find notice of the speech
of Myers or John B. Weller, and have come
to the following conclusions: James N.Y.
ers was not in Columbus on the day John
Myers said he was, and therefore did not
make speech there. Hon. John B. Wei
Ter was attending to his duties as U. s. Sen
ator, at Washington city on the same day,
was not in Columbus, never made aspeech
for Fremont, in his life and, what is more
never will.

Thnt .sCIiGue.n

The Black Republicans and few others
have been declaring, for months past, that
there was " clique" in this county and
that the county ticket was all fixed up "
last winter. It is understood that tickets
have been made out by certain persons with
the names of the following gentlemen upon
them: For Auditor, J. A. Walden /; for
Treasurer, J, w. Swepston for Sheriff, j.
N. Hutson (; for Recorder, John r. Newton.
These names composed what the wiseacres
denominated the !" clique" ticket, and they
predicted boldly that the Democratic Con-
vention would nominate them all. What
an utter refutation of this stale trick was
the action of that Convention. But one
man only of the " clique" Z" ticket was nomi-
mated and he had no opposition.
Since this gun of the opposition has been
spiked we wonder what they will do next.
The prophets and soothsayers have deceiv-
ed the unwary and the credulous once will
they be allowed to do do so again! Like Don
Quixote in his battle with the giants, they
have fought an " airy nothing " and expen-
ded their strength on something that existed
only in their imoginations.

Congress adjourned on Monday without
passing the Army Appropriation bill, leay-
Ing the President without the means to de-
fend the country from foreign aggression
or protect it fro civil strife. The House
insisted onaa0Fmendment providing that no
money appropriated for the support Of the
army should be applied towards employing
the army in Kansas. The Senate, being
favorable to law and order and the House to
civil war and anarchy agreed to disagree
and the bill failed. The effect of such a
high handed outrage by the Black Republi-
cans will be the disbandiDg Of the army.
The savages Of Oregon, Washington and
other territories. as well as the villains Of
Kansas, will be left free to rob and murder
without hindrance. A dispatchfrom Wash
ington states that the President has issued
his proclamation calling an extra session.
If there ever was a party which deserved
the most summary condemnation and con-
signment TO utter oblivion, it is this traitor
our Black Republican party. The leaders
haze declared their preference for the mnr-
derous tomahawk and all the horrors ofin.

The Ironton Register says /" the Demo-
crat has a short article in reference TO the
Register, containing at least two statements
that are not true"
Our Statements were, that Herbert S
previous history. shows that he was elected
by the Know Nothings, and that the Regis
ter is Know Nothing paper and helped to
build up the Order" In proof of the first
" statement" we refer to the Hon. Edward
Marshall of California, who was leading
Know Nothing in that State, and its candi-
date for the United States Senate. He says :
Herbert was member of the Know
Nothing Order, was nominated by it for
Congress, andeleeted through its instrumen-
tality to that position"
The Register has heretofore supported
Know Nothing nominees and is now sup
porting Fremont, who was nominated by a
Know Nothing Convention, and who Lew
Campbell says has not ayowed any oppo-
sition to the great principles" Of Know
Nothingism.

Fremont Prayer Meetings.

alt is fact that, at oberlin, prayer meet
ings are held at five O'Clock in the morning,
expressly for the success Of Fremont
We learn that in the said prayers these pc.
titioners also enireated that God would
send rain toTelieyet the parched earth, but the
more they prayed the dryerit became and the
freer the heavens were OF clouds. until, at last,
some persons in the neighboihood sent pc
tition' to the meeting, begging that they
would omitthis part Of their prayers. which
being complied with, the heavens almost i'm.
midately darkened aud a refreshing shower
descended on the earth. We hope they will
continue, howevef,to pray for Fremont, as nc
one needs the special interposition ofDiyine
Providence more than he and his wool5
friends do.

what Became OF Ii.

Sixty thousand dollars was deposited in
the house OF Palmer, Cook, Fremont & Co.
to pay the interest due on the first day oi
July last, on the bonds Of the State Of Cal
ifornia. There is no mistake about that fact.
1t is equally fact that the interest tOas moi
paid, and that the glorious young State ol
the Pacific was dishonored by the teaches oI
its trusted agents. 1t is strictly true, also
that about the time when the money should
have been in New York to be devoted to its
legitimate purpose, there was much boasting
in certain naoly-cOaverted Black. Republican
organs OF the abundance Of money among
the part;sans of Fremont. Now, was the
latter money, that which was sacredly intrus-
ted to the MaripOsa Company, to be paid to
the credit of sovereign State Or il il
was not disposed Of in that way, what did
become OF itP If the funds OF California
have been SO iniamously -nisdirecied, what
will be the fate OF the National Treasury II
left in the same hands?

The various Townships. on Monday last
sent up full delegations to the County Con.
vention. Every Township was represented
and the utmost harmony and good feeling
prevailed in making the nominations. Not
a single delegate supposed that he was tc
be controlled, as 1t had been charged by the
opposition, by clique and not one bui
declared that such charge from whateyel
source was utterly baseless. Their actiof
afterwards ought to prove clearly to every
candid man, that the Convention was gov,
erned only by a sincere desire to unite ant
harmonize the party. The delegates faith
fully performed their duty and we verify be-
iieve acted conscientiously for the best in
terests of the Democracy. The ticket
they have presented for the. suftages Of the
people is one which viii give very general
satisfaction. 1t would have been difficult
under the circumstances to have formed q
ticket more acceptable to the Democracy
than the one presented, and we have an abb
ding faith that every good Democrat in the
county will give it that hearty support to
which itis justly entitled.
1t was remarked by those who have fire.

The County Ticket.

Comparative strangers as we are, but few
of our readers in this county will desire any
information from US as to the members Of
our county ticket. Most of them are well
acquainted throughout the county, and need
no commendation. Suffice it to say that
each and every nominee is entirely worthy
of the confidence of the people, and de-
serves the united support of the Democracy
They were all harmoniously nominated /;
they will be unanimously supported by the
Democracy, and, of course, triumphantly
elected
JOEL A. WALDEN, the candidate for Au-
ditor is well known to every old citizen in
the county, No one acquainted with him
will doubt either his capacity, his honesty
or his Democracy.
DR.. L. HoLLAED,'the nominee for Treas
urer is we'll known. He is an uncompro-
missing Democrat, and has done good SER
vice on the stump and elsewhere for Demo-
cratic men and measures. He will make
a competent and faithful officer.
WM. GOLD, Esq, the nominee for Sher-
ifi, though perhaps not SO generally known
to the voters of Vinton county as the gen.
tlemen above mentioned, Is none the less
deserving, Heis a gentleman of unblem-
ished reputation, uffable and kind in his man.
ners, Of undoubted integrity and determined
character. He win always make friends
wherever he may go and while it is given
up that that he is just the kind of man the
people want for Sheriff, we can tell his op-
ponents that he is just the man that will be
elected.
JONATHAN BRIAN, the candidate for Re-
corder, iswell known to our readers. He is
an old citizen of this county and veteran
Democrat
JOHN KINNEY, Esq, the nominee fol
Commissioner, has served the county so
faithfully for the two years past as to in
duce the Democracy to re-nominate him for
tiIcaaWe post. Mr.. X. is we'll worthy of a
unanimous supPozI'~@''>,
WIN. PAUL AEDERsos, the candidate for
Coroner, is competent to fill a much higher
office, but as the one for which he is nomi-
mated, in certain contingencies, may become
q very important one, it was thought best tc
place man of undoubted ability on the
ticket for that post
Let every Democrat buckle on his armol
and 60 into the fight with determination
to triumph-to elect cur ticket, the avhol'
ticket and nothing but the ticket. To dc
anything else would be merely playing int
the hands of the Black Republicans, and t.
this, we are sure, no good Democrat woulC
knowingly agree.
