PAY the State Debt" "

Such is the sentiment clearly and boldly ex-
pressed in the Platform adopted by The Dem
ocratic State Convention, and it is with pecu-
liar pride and satisfaction that we place the
words in the ticket at the head of our columns.
Pay the State Debit The Democracy are
always the first to meet every issue that
arises; they never skulk, or keep close
mouth from motives of policy As might
have been expected, all other parties are sr
wing to evade the State debt issue; no other
party has dared to utter aught against the
dagger of disgraceful reputation.
1t may be complained that portions of the
indebtedness that has accrued are unjust. -
This may be SO; at least we will not argue
the matter; but it could never be SATISFACTORY
ly explained to the people Of other portions
of the world, or to future generations. Re
pudiation would be disgrace which would
stick to California and Californians time out
of calculation. 1t would actually iniure the
State thousand fold more then it will cost
to pay the debt. If we repudiate, the bet
ter class of citizens from the old States will
not be disposed to come among us; and we
may expect emigration to be composed of the
rag-tag-and-bobtail of creation. On the
contrary, if we preserve our honor, the stur-
dy farmers of the central aud western States
will continue to flock to our golden shores,
until California shall be made to take her
place among the wealthest and most pros
porous States of the ssterhood to which she
belongs.
The success of the Democracy and the hon
or of the State will go hand in hand. This,
indeed, is as it should be; it is quite natural
that the two should go together. To the
work, then, Democrats; and honorably dis
charge the Indebtedness which now hangs
like dark and dismal cloud over the fair
fame OF the State.

STANLEY. the asouth" Republican.

We had fully intended to "pitch into" Ed
ward Stanley, the Carolina Republican can
didate for Governor of California; but, the
proper time for such course having arrived,
we find that we would be striking fallen
foe. Stanley has killed himself" dead as a
mackerel," and not half as apt to revive
His speeches have wrought his ruin. A rem
egade from the "sunny south" he has made
it his business to out-Herrod Herrod in the
Republican cause; he has disgusted even the
Republicans themselves with his twaddle
about slavery and free negroes, to the exclu-
sion of matters Of State policy. He has
proved himself magnificent humbug "a
mere myth on the great political wave of the
times The only "smart" thing he ever did
do was in making 500, 900 fee out of the
Adams & Co. swindle Let Mr. Stanley
pass for the present. In justice to the par
ty that nominated him, he ought to resign;
the Democracy at least, would be gratfed to
see some one occupying the position of Re-
publican lea der better capable of making a
vigorous fight; they always love to have "a
foeman worthy Of their steel' Let Mr. S.
pass, with all his ridiculous inconsistencies -
Should he revive during the campaign, and
show himself worthy of that much distnc-
tion, we may take an occasional shot at him.
So far, we see nothing at which to aim

Drytown Correspondence.
DEMOCRATIC CLUB FORMED.
DRYrowN. July goth. |!

DRYTowN, July Both, 1857.
.HeSsrs. Editors: A Democratic meeting was
held in this place last Saturday evening, for the pur
pose OF taking the steps necessary for thorough
organization of the party in this township. The
meeting was well attended and an unusual intere.t
for the success of the party manifested. A
Club was organzed-Dr. s. +. Benjamin elected
President, and Thos Cummings Secretary. Forty
names were enrolled, each pledging himself to use
his whole weight and influence to secure the election
OF the full Democratic ticket. Some who were
hitherto active opponents of the Democracy joined
the Club, and others who had strayed from the
Democratic ranks again ranged themselves in line
and all are dong battle manfully for the right
The elements of opposition are actively at work
here; true conservatism however centers in the
Democratic party, and the Hon. John b. Weller
will receive vote here next September larger
than ever given for the Democratic ticket before.
Yours, 5.

Lighting the Town.

Messrs. Hoover g. Co. have their works
nearly completed, and in a short time will be
prepared to furnish citizens on Main, Court
and Water streets with an excellent quality
of gas, manufactured from pine wood The
works are in the rear of the Union Hotel
The new gasometer is of the capacity of,
5000 --abundantly large-and is a most
excellant piece of workmanship 1t was
constructed by Mr. VIM. H. Montandon and
reflects much credit upon his skill The gas
ometer contains 10000 riyets, and each rivet
required six stroaks of the hammer to make
it fast. The main pipe, most of which has
already been laid, is of galvanized iron, and
is manufactured by Mr. p. Quinlan. This is
an entirely new idea--cast iron pipes being
used everywhere else to conduct the gas; but
the galvanized pipe is equally as good, and
the whole cost does not exceed what the
freight bill would be on cast iron pipe. The
retort was cast at Sutter Creek; everything
clnV ID Huiut HfdHuluCtuIt.
Messrs III. q Co. have been peculiarly for
tunate in securing the services of Messrs.
Montandon and Quinan, two of the most
ingenious and best workmen in the State
They are thoroughly acquainted with the bu-
siness of gas6tting, plumbing. &c, and can
manufacture anything that is required in the
construction of the works
This pioneer movement in the manufacture
of pine wood gas places jackson on an
equality, so far as a cheap, convenient and
brilliant light is concerned, with the larger
cities. A few years ago the idea of lighting
a town the. size oi Jackson with gas would
have been redculed
After the works are fairly in operation
one man can perform all the labor and trans
act all the business. He could pack sufii.
cent quantity of pine, from the hills, on his
back to make the gas and the charcoal and
tar that is left would pay the expense The
charcoal is of excellent quality, and the tar
might more properly be called varnish--in
fact it is almost equal to Japan varnish.
From this place, Messrs. Montandon and
Quinlan go to Mok. Hill, where they will re-
main until the gas works there are completed
1t affords us much pleasure to recommend
them as superior workmen, and as being en-
tirely reliable in all their undertakings, me-
chanical or otherwise Persons having bu-
siness in their line will do well to confer with
them.

on that ticket, but it was "no go"-the X.

than such a course as that would have indi-
Gated
This difficulty being settled, the next was
to find men with sufficient ambition, or har-
dhood if you prefer the term, to accept the
nominations. Tom, Dick or Harry, had their
names been proposed, could have been NOM
mated by reclamation. The following gen
tlemen we're finally induced to accept: Gov
ernor, G.. w. Bowie; 1t. Gov, j. A. Ray

They may be all very good men; with some
of them we are personally acquainted, and
know of no personal objections to them; but
they are the fag ends of corrupt and bro
ken down political heresy, and as such cannot
receive Democratic votes. AS matter oI
course, they do not expect anything else than
defeat. Even the very respectable name al

few thousand Old Line Know Nothing vote:

VOLCANO ITEMS.


DtrcH ENrERPRIzE.-Two experimental
lines of the extension of the Jackson Ditch
TO Upper Rancheria have already been sur
yeyed, and the final location will be made at
an early day. So we are informed. BY this
extension. the rich diggings north of the Vol
cano basin will be permanently supplied with
water. Mr.. W. A. Eliason, competent and
experienced engineer, has been engaged by
the Jackson Water Company and has the
charge of that department of their works.
Mr.. Myers is the General Superintendent.
The OPEN Cur.-The Goodwin boys and
their associates have prosecuted the work in
which they are engaged-dnining the Vol
cano basin by means of an open cut in the
bed of Sutter crcek-with degree of ener-
gy worthy of the highest commendation.-
They shot,ld be seconded and assisted by every
business man Of the place, in order that they
may be enabled to complete the enterprise
without interruption. 1t will be the salvation
of Volcano; and if the business men allow
the work to be delayed, they will be standing
in their own light.

rately in love--wrote the following on the

THE Democracy of the eastern portion Of
the county, as we learn from various sources,
are exceedingly anxious to hear Weller and
Williams at Volcano. They would be enthu-
siasticaly received, but we fear their appoint
ments are such that it will be impossible for
them TO visit our friends of the ''Crater City"
MULE Power PuMrs-A few Of the mule
power pumps, (for draining mining eaims)
so extensively used in Volcano few years
ago, have been brought into requisition the
present season They are decidedly primi-
tive in their construction.
CoNsTABLE.-By reference TO an announce
ment which appears in the proper place, it
will be seen that VIM. ]. Morgan is again
