party is the one that originated and fostered
the homestead exemption system.
On the settler question Mr.. Briggs was
very sanguine as to what he would do
What does he think of the X N. Legislature
that passed the settler law of $50 after they
were told, by one of the Judges of the Su-
preme Court, that it was unconstitutional p
He said he would have the constitution alter
ed to meet the case Would he have that
clause expunged which says no person shall
be deprircd Of hfe, liberty, or property. 'oithoGt
due process Of ld,o !; and the one which says !;
all men hare the inalienable right of acquiring,
possessing and protecting property? Yet these
are the ones that the Supreme Court held
were violated by the settler law The Dem
ocratic party in the legislature in '56 wanted
to pass reasonable law, but the X. Ms were
in power, and insisted on the ultra one or
none, after they knew it could not stand
The fact was, they never intended to pass a
law that would benefit the settler.
Mr. Briggs was very affecting in his decla-
rations that he would not suffer himself to be
bribed Did man ever run for Office who
told the voters he could be bribed We
have no doubt that the man he told of who
was in the legislature of Wisconsin with him,
and who made eight thousand dollars during
one session of the legislature in California,
told his constituents just what Mr.. Briggs
said on Wednesday night; and yet he took
the brbes, or else Mr.. Briggs is mistaken.
We thought it very singular that Mr.
Briggs did not refer to his colleague, Mr..
Hinckson, or to the American county ticket
Is it "every one for himself and the ID for
them all 2" We must say, it is the first time
we ever heard candidate speak who did not
in some manner allude to his colleague, if he
had one
We have not time to review the speech
more at length Suffice it to say, it did him
no honor and lost him votes in this place.
The weekly ledger., 1857-08-29

Did Mr.. Hinckson and Mr.. Briggs take
that oath, or the substance of it2 Do they
deny that they did? Are they, in word,
Know Nothings still, or do they rcpudiate the
very essence of Know Nothingisn?
Hear the Louisville Journal:
"The American party is opposed to DE-
GRADING the native-born to level with
the ILLITERATE HORDES OF IRISH
PAPISTS and GERMAN INFIDELS
which infest our country"
The Louisville Journal is the great organ
of Know Nothingism. Do Mr.. Briggs and
Mr. Hinckson adopt or reject the sentiment?
Let them speak out.
BY way of Conclusion,
We have only to say that the people of
Amador will duly appreciate the humbug
which the X. n candidates attempt to play
Off If they are really Know Nothings, as
they used to be, the people do not want them
in Office; it they are not Know Nothings,
then they should resign the Know Nothing
nomination. Running on the regular X. ".
ticket, and denying the material portions of
the platform, will not go down with the peo-
pie, Mr.. Briggs eloquent speeches to the con
trary notwithstanding.
We ask our Readsrs
To Judge of the whole facts for themselves.
The oily ygdmmOn of Mr.. Briggs and Mr.
Hinckson certainly will not deceive Ameri-
can citizens, whether of native or foreign
birth

Briggs Defends an Irishman.

1t is all right for lawyer to defend poor
man without fee, be he Irish or American
1t is lawyers duty, and one that is seldom
evaded Indeed some of the finest displays
of forensic eloquence we have ever heard were
by unpaid lawyers Yet Mr.. Briggs is ma
king his boast on the stump that lie is defend
ing an Irshman without pay, and that he
had to lose a day from his electioneering on
that account. Mr. Briggs is great on quoting
scripture-how is it about not letting your
left hand know what your right baud does,
in charitable matters How does it look
just now 4? Is it molasses to catch flies p
Do you suppose the man wants his poverty
heralded all over the county merely to aid
you? Would it not look better to let your
friends tell the story? Suppose you let Mr..
Hinckson tell of your good points and you
tell of his 1t looks great deal like the
man at church, who, when the dish comes
round holds his half dollar high and lets it
fall with jingle; as much as to say, "behold,
good ncghbors, l have contributed fifty
cents"

A Constitutional Convention.

The important fact that people are to de-

calling Convention to revise and change
the State Constitution, seems to have been
almost lost sight of in the canvass Never
theleSs, the question is one that deserves the
most serious reflection, and we trust that
voters will give it the consideration its impor-
tancs demands. 1t is not party ISSUE yet
there is doubtless much difference of opinion
as to the propriety or impropriety of calling
the Convention Those who favor the prop
osition will have written or printed on their
ballots, For onvention"-those oppos-
ed, against Convention To carry a
majority of all the votes cast at the election
