The Issues.

The people Of the United States are divided in
to three divisions proper, although five candidates
for the Presidency have been nominated by as ma
nv Conventions, each claiming for their respec-
tive nominee some particular principle necessary
to qualify him for that high position not possess
ed by any of the others. The Conventions that
nominated Buchanan, Fillmore and Fremont are
entitled to some consideration from the press, and
these nominees are the only ones that will be vo-
ted for in our State, consequently any remarks in
relation TO Stockton and Smith would be a waste
of time and an intrusion upon our readers
There are but two distinctive issues before the
people to be decided at the coming election, and
they are presented in triangular form The
Democratic and American parties present the sin
gle issue upon the rights Of residents in this COun
ty, born abroad. The Republican party present
to the two former the single issue on the right of
Congress to legislate upon the subject of Slavery
in the Territories belonging to the United States
These issues are very simple in themselves and
easily to be understood but they of the ut
most consequence to the safety and well-bcing of
our government The issue between the Rcpub-
tional and well calculated to engender a feeling
of bitter animosity in one section of the country
against the other, where the interests are and of
right should be the same The liberties of this
country were not obtained by the efforts of por-
tion of the Colonies divided by geographical lines
but by the combined efforts of all. Strength was
found in Union in l776 and can it be said that
union has grown weak since the time it achieved
for us all we now possess that is great and honor
able. 1t is not for us to dictate to free and en-
lightened citizens the course for them to pursue
in regard to the exercise of the elective franchise
but in the name of those who bequcathcd to us
the States of the Union as unit it is our duty to
reflect well before we give aid and comfort TO
those who cherish principal that does not en-
rich them but deprves others of rights. If each
voter within the limits of the thirty one States
will devote one half the time to reading the fare
well address of the Father of his Country that is
usually spent in bitter disputes by them on the
eve of Presidential election all sectional feel
ings will be lost sight Of, and the bonds of the
Union greatly strengthened.

Col DeShiell arrived per Orizaba. en route for

ton Great enthusiasm prevailed
The body which elected Walker was entirely

Senor Salizear, Minister Of War, rode to Bar
riercs and made an official harrangue, influencing
the natives against Americans. He told the peo-
pie the Americans were going TO burn the church
es and destroy the religion of the country.
Great excitement was the result, during which

andega.
After the fight of President Rivas from Leon,
the people of that city became uneasy at the
speech Of Senor Salzear, and anxiously inquired

The Test.

The time is fast approaching when the test of
the greatest man. save one, that our country ever
produced, should be applied, and that too strict
ly, TO those who place themselves before the peo
pie for their sufrages. This test is the only safe
political creed that can be applied to candidates
IT strikes the death blow to demagogueism and
places the applicant for political fayors before the
electors in proper light for their inspection 1t
destroys the slavish bonds of party drill and
leaves the voter free to be his own Judge of the
qualifications of the candidate. 1t compels nom
mating Conventions to place before the people
the best men in their party to fill the various of
fees 1t prevents political leaders from sending
their toadies TO the different Counties throughout
the State to obtain some prominent position, or
carry an election for their particular friend 1t
prevents parties from placing in nomination those
who have not resided a sufficient length of time
in their midst to obtain reputation from their
most intimate acquaintances. The test should
not be that he wears polished pair of boots and
standing collar, but is be honest is he capable
There is no aristocracy or demagoguesm about
this test and let those who profess to be followers
OF Thomas Jefferson apply the test to themselves,
and above all let the voters apply the test to the
candidates, and see if the pattern will be equal
to the rule.

Later from Southern California.

The ste amer Sea Bird arrived at San Francisco
on the 10Th inst, bringing news from Los Angel
es to July 18th, and the Santa Barbara Gazette of
July Il.
The only news of importance relates to the
movements of Ned. MCGOWAN. The Gazette thinks
that this veteran scoundrel will be in the hands
of the Vigilance Committee within the next ten
days.
The following handbills have been printed and
circulated in both English and Spanish by the
Sheriff of Santa Barbara County:
$500 DOLLARS REWARD 1T being rumored
that one Edward MCGOWAN, a fugitive from JUS
tce, on the charge of murder, from San Francis
co county, who was last seen in Santa Barbara,
has been murdered for a sum of money known to
have been in his possession, the above reward will
be paid for the recovery of his body, or for nfor
nation that will lead to his discovery. by apply
ing at the ofice Of Russell Heath, Sheriff Of San
Ia Barbara county.
July 18th, 1856.
The Gdzate says that the schooner Exact, which
left San Francisco about two weeks since, with a
party of Vgilants on board, arrived at that place
on the 18th inst:
On the same day two men were arrested and eX-
amncd before the Mayor of Santa Barbara, on
the charge of assisting MCGOWAN to escape from
San Francisco, but there not being sufficient proof
they were discharged.
Anto. Ma. de la Guerra, the Mayor of Santa
Barbara, publishes in the GazeHe Il card, in which
he finds fault with Il Santa Barbara correspondent
of the San Francisco Bulletn for having taxed
him with aiding the escape of MEG owan, and
" because he takes pleasure in protecting and be-
ing on friendly terms with criminals The May
or naively adds:
Miserable wretch 1t is true that | protect

District School

This school is in a fourshing condition, with
from thirty to thirty-fve scholars in attendance
daily. Mrs Hyslep now has charge of the School,
and gives general satisfaction to her patrons-in
fact it could not be otherwise, for by her peculiar
spirit of emulation in them without revenge or
jealousy, and commands at the same time the high
est respect and obedience. Mrs. II. is lady of
fine literary attainments, amiable disposition, and
well calculated to take charge of a school that is
represented from every State in the Union, and
perhaps more.

WEAvERvILLE, July 21, 1856.

WEAvERvILLE, July Il, 1886
Gentlemen Il arrived here after very pleas
ant trip of two days and a-half and at your re-
quest | have undertaken to express my views rel
ative to the route on which travelled, compared
with the various other routes to your pleasant
town. From Eureka to oShower's Pass, distance
of about thirty miles the trail is excellent In iact
a good wagon road might be made with very llt-
tie expense.
This trail was surveyed by several enterprislng
men from your place, and having travelled on ev-
cry trail between those places, | have no hesta-
ton in saying that it far exceeds all others, hav-
inc at all seasons of the year excellent supply
of water and grass,
Leaving Showers Pass took the new trail,
surveyed by Z. Davis. Esq, bearing to the left OF
the old trail, and touching at Hidmpum, (more
commonly known as the South Fork of TrinityO
and striking the Hay Fork at DR.. Weeds Ranch.
This trail is we'll supplied with all the facilities
for packers, and in passing through some OF the
valleys ! found the grass nearly to my mules
back. Too much credit cannot be given to the
enterprising men who surveyed and located this
trail.
From Weeds Ranch to Weaver there is a good
wagon road nearly all the way. The master spir-
it here is NJ. Ruch, Esq, who superntended the
grading and bridging the road from the Hay Fork
valley to the Browns Creek bridge across Trni-
ty. OF this part of the route none need COM
plain, as but very little improvement can be made
The whole distance is about so miles, and l
should think pack train might make the trip
easily in five days. The distance by the old trails
varies but little from this, but they are not so
pleasant, and have not the facilities to be found
on the new one.
Under the guidance Of few enterprisng men,
and with the eXpending of few thousand dol
lars this might be made one of the best trails in
the State, and am certain, should such an under
taking be commenced, the cnterprising men O
Trinity would not fail to contribute their share as
willingly as could be desired And | shall be
greatly surprised if good wagon road is not the
result, eventually, of your praseworthy exertions.
remain gentlemen, your humble servant,
