An AffectiOnate Female.

At the recent Spiritualist's Convention
at Ravenna, Ohio one Mrs. Lewis OF
Cleveland, declared she was in favor uni
versal freedom, and that loving whomso-
ever she chose was part of that freedom,
and to confine her to love one man was
an abridgment of her rights. She said
that although she had one husband IN
Cleveland, she considered herself married
to the vhole human race. Al men gere
her husbands. and she had an uadying
lore for HemI.n She also said ''aOhat bus
iness IS it to the ,corid schether one man
IS the taiher Of my children or ten ares
I have the right to say who shall be the
father of my children
1t is but fair to add that many in the
Convention denounced and repudiated
these sentiments.

KLECTIONEERINg poCUMENTs.

The following Circulars, which were
diligently distributed day or two be-
fore the election, by the friends of the
candidates for Senator, we give as Il
part of the history of the times:
A CARD.-To tie Citizens Of Nerada
County,: As falsehood. uncontrodicted,
is often mistaken for truth, l feel it a
duty which l owe, not only to myself
and friends, but to the Democracy of
this county, whose nominee l am, that
distinctly and unequivocally define my
position upon those local questions which
so vitality interests the miners of this
county.
Myself Il miner, | have ever found
those laws and regulations by which the
miners govern themselves fully ade-
quate tony protection, and neither have
nor do ask the intervention Of the Fed,
eral or State Governments in our min
ing districts.
l am opposed to any change or alter
alton in our mining policy, which does
not emanate directly from, and meet the
full appreciation of the laboring miners.
Receiving myself wages for my services
as a miner, my interests are identical
with those Of the laboring communi-
ty of our mountains. That policy
which would injure them must ruin me.
If principle did not control my actions,
personal interest would compel me to
make common cause with the miners in
procuring for us the broadcast license and
the most extensive privileges in the pub
lie lands Of this State.
If elected, it must be as miner, and
by the votes Of miners. As their rep
resentative, I shall make the mining in
terests my first duty, and shall depre-
cate and oppose all legislative interfer-
ence which is not based upon the prin-
ciple, that miners should rule the mines
of California.
As to the charges preferred against
me through the Nevada Journal, and
those circulated by the enemies of our
party throughout the county, they have
no foundation in fact, and scarce merit
denial. This statement embodies
those views which | have ever deemed,
and now regard, as the true policy for
our mining interests and community.

GOLD Hill, August 80, 1857.

EDITOR JOURNAL: Our on:e -four
ishing town of Gold Hill has been al
most forsaken this summer. There APP
pears to be general stagnation in all
kinds of business, the cause of which
is entirely beyond our control. Owing
to the fire that visited us last fall, and
the early failure of the water this spring,
there appears to be general depression
in the feelings of our citizens, as well as
in their purses; but we have not all lost
our energy yet. A few of our citizens
have fed to the river and are getting
well paid for their labor, but we have
few more cnterprising and energetic
men who have stuck close to our own
place through evil as well as good re-
port; they are now beginning to antici-
pate rich reward for their labors.
Mr.. Finley and McVicker. of the
Mammoth Prospecting Company, of
Spirit Hill, have been running tunnel
in the main ridge above Gold Hill, and
have struck some fattering prospects.
They appear to be sanguine that they
have at last struck their pile, and say,
from the prospects they have already
made, that they can make from $40 to
$50 a day to the hand. There is sever
al other companies now making prepa-
rations to start in the same hill
] think, from the prcscAt prospects
that we are situated in enc Of the best
mining localities in the county. Our
citizens are waiting, with great impa-
thence, for Kidd & Co. to get their ditch
completed from the South Yuba so that
we will be better supplied with the nee
essay element for mining.
