zes upon some popular idea and epdeay-
ors 10 win the applause Of-its advocates
by rushing into the sbsurdest ultraisms.
At the same moment when it decried
Americans for prgeriag native born ciii-
zens to foreigners for political Offices.
and rallied vehemently against this pros
criptiOn of foreigners by the American
party, il practises the most infamous and
damnable prescription Of all who dared 10
entertain or advocate American principles.
1t carries this venomous hate and hideous
prescription even into the walks of pri-
vate life, and sought TO destroy all ami
cable sociable relations and to crush out
and PROSTATE the private prosperity of
the individual members Of the American
party. AT the very moment when this
spoils-seeking, Pope-loving, foreigner
courting Democracy is fawning upon and
carressing our foreign population; it, as
we bave seen in the Pennsylvania Legis.
lature, proposes 10 exclude all unnatural
lied foreigners from any management or
control of private corporations or indus
trial associations, in which perhaps the
capital and energies of the foreigners thus
excluded are largely invested.
From these simple facts we may de.
duce, the difference between Americanism
and democracy. The American party is
governed by principles, eternal and i'm
mutable as Truth itself The democra-
cy is directed solely by partizan expedi-
ency and is blown hither and thither by
every idle breath, without stability, with.
out consistency, without justice and
without patriotism. By wies and STRAIT
agems Of political tricksters the Democ-
racy has succeeded, in the face of an
overwhelming popular majority, in foist,
ing its hungry myrmidons upon the pub
lie treasury, but already are the days Of
its triumph numbered the people are
beginning to see and appreciate the truth
and the real necessity for the establish.
ment of the American policy, and the
shrewd leaders of the Democracy are
seeking to save themselves from The luin
that impends over their party by pretend.
ing 10 be zealots in behalf of American
principles.

press Co., to pay next July the interest

bond was questioned, and did not ac-
knowledge the receipt of the money.
The treasurer was called on to give ad-
ditional security for money in his keeping.
A proposition was made to impeach him

A meeting Of the citizens Of Mariposa
resolved 10 resist Fremont's claims. The
Mariposa tract bill before the Senate, pro-
viding for working the mines in the grants
made before the treaty with Gaudelope

Mariposa settlers to defeat Fremont's
claims.
Iowa Hill, Placer county, was nearly

Want Of COnGdc,sCc.'

Nothing is more distressing than
want of confidence, whether it be be-
tween husband and wife, employer
and employed, creditor and debtor, or
God and man.
There is now just that state ofthings
in our country. financially, which there
is in our globe, morally Confidence
is lost among the inhabitants of the
land and there is financial disaster,
and confidence is lost in God, and
there is moral suffering and confusion
throughout the globe. Oh! if the hu-
man race would only coniide in God,
how would moral evils be at once re-
paired The Creator and the creature
would come together, loyalty take the
place of rebellion, righteousness the
place of sin. and peace the place Of
disorder and misery. And how wrong,
how wicked, how outrageous y wick
ed it is for mankind--when God is
such being, 50 worthy of confidence,
and has done so much to obtain and
secure their conlidcnce--that they
should have no faith in him
Have faith. reader. in God. Have
confidence in your Maker. There is
satisfaction nowhere else"

The editor Of the Winchester Home
Journal says he dislikes to dun his
patrons through his paper. I,'he finds
( it as Improbable as we have done we
don't blame him. Some time ago we
made a pressing appeal TO those who
had not paid to aid u little in car
rying on our office to furnish them
with the news weekly, and we recciv-
ed upon that call one do'iar and
twenty ticc ceats!--CookviHc Times.
Indeed you must have h0d set of
subscribers, Mr. Times. Why, sever
al of ours have responded quite
promptly to our modest request, and
we believe before the lst day Of Jan
uary next, nearly all Of them will
come CALAMITY up. We dislike
to dun because of an innate hatred of
the act, and would ncucr dun through
the medium Of our paper, We're it not
that there is many a one who thinks
all have paid except him, and that we
being a "clever fellow" and his &C.
count so small, it will make no differ
encc. To such we would speak in
tones as loud as was the thunder from
Mt. Sinai, pay up! pay upH And by
way Of n conclusion, we will only
wish, Mr.. Times, that you may get as
good a lot Of subscribers as we have,
with probably fen exceptions.

on the Merchants Bank of Nashville
was detected at the Branch Bank OF
Tenn, at that place, few days since.
1t purports to be a $40 bill, when in
fact the Merchants Bank has no is

nails information states, and he is we'll
posted in this regard, that there is a
considerable amount of these notes in
circulation in Gibson county.

We hope you will not attempt to in

await this University, merely for the
sake Of gratifying little rcmorsc

at Huntsville. Franklin county is the
one now to boast OF possessing if, and
we feel that that boast can be made
with hearty cheer and sincerity as to
the appropriateness and superiority Of
its claims. But, Notwithstanding our
opinion thus expressed, had Hunts
vile, Ben Lomond, Knoxville, Chatta-

ceivcd the location, we should have
made no more disparaging remark
than to state its locality as a matter Of
news. Thus You should have done,
and sincerely do we hope that you will
not in the future give vent to an un-
