UPPER CALAyERIrAs. June 2lst


Mr. Editor In your edition of June 18th,
you called attention to question of no small
Importance which comes before the people for
their decision at the ensuing election. To pay
or repudiate the State debt, is something more
than politics, or a mere matter of dollars and
cents-our honor as people is concerned
If this debt was created in direct violation of
the constitution, why did our representatives
approve of t? Why was it so long in being
discovered, and where was that lynx-eyed
guardian of our rights, "the Press?" Are the
words, " official rascality," sufficient answer
to all that. We knew when it was borrowed,
how it was applied Ia trife of it at least), and
passively acquiesced in it. To take advantage
unworthy of great people To say that it
was i'll applied, would be a rather meagre ex-
cuse for reputation. 1t certainly was not the
business of the lenders to see after its being
properly applied; their responsibility ceased
with the lending of it. If we could believe
mated the debt, knowing it to be a fraud, to
repudiate would not be half the punishment
they deserve. But it is reasonable to suppose
that the original plunderers were wide enough
awake to have long since made themselves Sc
cure against anything of that sort. Therefore
as the loss would doubtless fall on men who
bought the stocks, or loaned their money in
business-like manner, to a government of our
own choosing-not theirs-let us vote ''to pay"
instead of setting dangerous precedent. We
may learn from this, to look little closer into
the moral character of the men whom we select
to manage our public affairs, and not take it for
granted that they who noisily advocate certain
political theories possess, as matter of course,
all the cardinal virtues. California can truly
say now, in the language of Shakespeare
He who steals my purse, steals trash
But he who flches from me my good name,
Robs me of that which enriches him not
And leaves me poor indeed.

IMPORTANT to Miners, Trarelers, dc

There is no malady of deeper Importance,
either in q medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
AS medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power the bodily suf-
fering. Human nature at best is but frail; all
are liable to misfortune.
Of all the ills that affect man, none are more
terrible than those of private nature Dread
ful as it is in the person who contracts it,
frlghtful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent off,
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to it at once, by consulting some
physician, whose responsibility and education
enables HIM to warrant a safe, speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this neceSsi-
ty. DIR. YOUNG feels called upon TO state
that by long study and extensive practice, he
has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal,
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States,
he feels himself better qualified to treat them
the Groins, Ulcers, Ulcers in the Throat Sec
ondary Syphilis, Cutaneous Eruptions, Ulcera-
tions Tertiary Syphilis, Syphilis in Children,
Mercurial Syphiitic Affections, Gonorrhra,
Gleet, Structures, False Passages Inflammation
OF the Bladder and PROSTATE Glands, Excoria-
tions, Tumors, Pustulcs, etc, are as familiar TO
him as the most common things of daily obser-
vaton.
The Doctor effects a cure in recent cases in a
few days, and finds no difficulty in curing those
OF long duration, without submitting the pa
tent TO such treatment as will draw upon him
the slightest suspicion, or obligc him to neglect
ms business, whether within doors or without
The diet need not be changed, except in cases
OF severe inflammation. There are in California
patients, amounting to over two thousand in
the past year, that could furnish proof of this
but these are matters that require the nices,

tells of young man who was formerly clerk in
banking house in that city, and who so pleased
n gentleman from one of the Southern States by n
single business interview that the latter offered to
increase his salary three-fold if he would accom-
pany him to the South and act as a clerk in a
banking house there. The offer was accepted after
a consultation with friends. The young man had
been at the South but short time, when he made
an offer, in his turn, to the bankers daughter
His proposal was accepted and sealed by the per-
formance of the marriage ceremony. The clerk
was then made partner in the banking establish
ment, and received OH his wedding day, among
other presents, what the Canadian paper thinks
was singular gift, one hundred and fifty slaves.
