To Miners, Foreigners and Farmers

How can Miners, Foreigners, or Farmers
consistently support John G. Fremont for the
Presidency? We do not believe they can
Let us examine and see:
John c. Fremont was United States SEN
ator from California for a very brief period.
During that brief period, he introduced
BILL TO LEASE THE MINERAL
LANDS-requirin American citizens to pay
that which would have been equivalent to
what is now known as the foreign miners or
CHINA Tax, for the pririiege Of digging IN the
mines
John C. Fremonts bill to Lease the Min
eral Lands provided that none but American
citizens should be allowed the privilege, (after
first purchasing permits from Government)
of working in the mines. A Senator moved
that foreigners who had legally declared their
intention to become citizens, should be allow
ed to purchase permits and work. Mr.. Ere
mont bitterly opposed the amendment.
John C. Fremont, during his brief career
as Senator, introduced his celebrated Land
Bill, declaring that Mexican Grants confirmed
by the Land Commissioners shouM mol be
liable to appeal; and that Grants rejected by
the Commission should be appealed. Hhat
do the settlers on Pico's pretended grant think
Of that?
Common sense teaches that to be consist
ent, and true to themselves the Miner,
the Foreigner, and the Farmer must vote
against Fremont, and in support of true
Democratic principles on these questions, viz:
To the Miners belong the AInes-to the
Foreigner desiring to become citizen a
hearty welcome and every encouragement
should be extended--and to the Settler a
guarantee of all his rights, and protection
against fraudulent grants, land cormorants
and land SPECTATORS

Fremont and the Foreign Vote.

The Republicans are, and have been, la
boring day and night to induce adopted
citizens to support John c. Fremont The
Know Nothings, too, by the most foul mis-
representations endeavor to create the i'm
preston that the Republican candidate will
carry considerable portion of the adopted
vote.
We have not given much attention to
either of these parties upon this question
having been satisfied, and being still satisfied
that our adopted fellow citizens have too
much good sense to be thus humbugged by
their arch enemies 1t may not be amiss
however, to call their attention to one or two
facts. Fremont is claimed by his friends in
the Atlantic States as "a good Know Moth
ing;" the great mass Of his supporters come
from the X. n. party, and he is, in every
sense of the term, identified with the pro-
scripton of foreigners. When initiated into
the dark lantern order, it was necessary for
Mr. Fremont to take the following oath:
al, Of my oaon free 1ciH and 0ccord in the
presence Of Almighty God and these witness
es, my left hand resting upon my right breast,
and my right hand extended to the flag of my
country, do soiemnly and sincerely suear, that
| will aehen elected or appointed 10 any official
station comforting on me the power to do it,
REMOVE ALL FOREIGNERS, Aliens
ar Roman Catholics from office or place, so
help me God and keep me steadfast"
Now aooutdat John c. Fremont be fine
candidate for adopted citizens Oh, yes;
they'll support him-but it will be cover the
left shoulder
Then there is VIM. H. Seward, for instance
the acknowledged head and front of the
Republican party-the man who possesses
more talent and cunning than all the balance
of them combined--the man who would be
the leading spirit of the administration should
Mr. Fremont be elected-the man who would
be, in fact, the administration itself. This
same VIM, Ill. Seward, then Governor of
New York, proposed to Gov VIM Smith, at
Richmond, Virginia, to trade of the Ger
mans and Irish landing at New York for the
Free Negroes of Virginia man for man and
cargo for cargo-stating at the time that he
thought the Free Negroes would make better
citizens than the Irish or Germans I"
This is the man, and this is the party ask
ing the votes of adopted citizens. We are
satisfied that they will vote to a man with
the Democracy only party that meets
them as equals, the only party that guaran-
tees to them their rights as free white
citizens.

NIcARAGuA.-The British papers continue
to denounce Walker and his men as free
hooters, and censure the United States for
having recognized the present government Of
Nicaragua, notwithstanding it is better estab-
lished than any with which that heretofore
turbulent State has been blessed for many
years. Wonder if the British press think it
is " freebooting" to conquer and subdue prov
ince after province and kingdom after king
dom in India?

WoN'T FACE THE Music Last week we
published the challenge of VIM. j. Norman,
Democratic candidate for Senator, addressed
to Chas. II. Elias, X n candidate, inviting
him to publicly discuss certain Senatorial acts
of Mr. n. dsapproyed of by Mr.. E., together
with all the political issues of the day. The
Calaveras Union, Mr.. Elias reputed organ,
craw-fshcs for that gentlcman-says the peo-
pie don't want to hear speeches! Our inn
preston, however, is that the people like to
know for whom and for what principles they
are voting and we are proud to know that
Mr. Norman will continue on the stump every
evening until the election.

The Maine Election.

The Fremonters have gone crazy at the re-
suit of the Maine election Did anybody ex-
pect different result We have not heard
of such person Hamlin's Democratic an
teeedents and personal popularity secured to
him thousands of votes that Fremont never
can receive; and then there will be a Fill
more ticket in the field that will draw largely
from the Republican vote. just as sure as
that the sun will rise and set on the day of
election, Buchanan viii carry the state of
Maine trumphanty.
SLANDERING THE MNERs-The San Fran
cisco Republican organ CHI rges the miners Of
California with the practice of double voting,
and says that they also give American
names TO Cinnamon and Digger Indians and
compel them to vote. These are base false
hoods anG SANDERS, and were the Republi-
can editor to show himself among the miners,
he would probably soon become forcibly il
not sore'y impressed with a sense of their in
dignation.
