The Candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
MICHIGAN BLUFF, July goth, 1857.

Mr.. Editor:-At this peculiar crisis in the
political times Of California, when reform is
90 much needed-when the people Of the
State have to meet parties for repudation,
fanaticism, and prescription, it is cheering to
see the Democratic party, which is admitted
to be predominant, take the bold stand Of
throwing its corrupt and designing aspirants,
and nominating good men. Honesty, iuteg-
rity, uprightness and independence should,
in all party conventions, be preferable in the
qualification Of candidates, to availability.
for one. though from the ranks Of the op.
position, am highly gratifed to see the noini.
nation Of Joseph Wakup, for Lieutenant.
Governor. This nomination, believe, is not
awarded this gentleman for his superior
talent or refined education, but rather for
higher quali6cation-his HONESTY. l pre-.
fer this qualification in any candidate, for
any Office, at this particular time. Expert.
encS "A Senator has sufficiently qualified Mr..
In times gene by, the rule exceptions
scarce) Of all parties has been to award the
fat and honorable offices upon those who
have sacrificed the most time and money to
carry out party intrigues, without regard to
any other qualifications The nomination
Of such men and such tickets have nearly
bankrupted our State. and had the practice
continued in the late Democratic State Con.
vention, the people at the next election,
would have been forced to vote repudation.
But the bright signs Of the times are the
nomination Ct such men as Mr.. Walknp, Of
this county. Where is the man that can
substantate aught against him, in his pre-.
cinct, county or State.
This brief endorsement Of this gentleman
by one who has always opposed him, Mr..
Editor, is complimentary, if nothing more

Mr.. stanly on the Slavery question in

A National Democrat sends the 6acra.
msnto Union transcript from the record
Of Mr.. stauly while in Congress in 1888.
Then he was a representative from the
State Of North Csrolina-to-day he is the
Republican candidate for Governor in CAL
ifornia. In the mutations OF time changes
are frequently wrought in the opinions Of
politicians. Read:
On the 3lst December, 1893, Mr.. Stanly
introduced in the house of Representative
the following resolutions: (See Appendix to
Congressional Globe, I'd S. 25th Congress,
Vol. VII, page s7.)
Resolued, That in the opinion Of this
House. petitions praying for the abolition Of
slavery in the District Of Columbia in the
Territories, or in the S ates, with view of
affecting slavery within the District of Col
umba or in the States, or in the Terrtor
los ought not to bs received, entertained, or
considered by the House.
Resolved, That Congress has no right to
do that indirectly which it cannot do di-
rectly, and that the agitation of the subject
OF Slavery in tho District Of Columbia, or
IN the territories or in any manner, with
view of disturbing or overthrowing that in
stitution. either in the District of Columbia,
or in the Territories. or in the several States,
is equally unconstitutional and beyond its
Legislative compote~,y, and is an infringe.
inent Of the rights OF the States, and & breach
Of the public faith on which they entered
into the confederacy.
~
IeeSol0ed, That all attempts on the part
of Congress to abolish slavery in the Dis
trict OF Columbia, or in the Territories, or
to regulate" the removal of slaves from
State 20 State, or to discriminate between
the institutions Of one portion Of the Con-
iederacy and another, either with view of
distributing or overthrowing that institution
in the District of Columbia, or in the
Territories, or in the States, are in viola
ton Of the Constitution. destructive of the
fundamental principle on which the union
OF these States rests, and hey ond the juris-
dicton Of Congress; and that as such, no
petition, memorial, resolution, propositions
or paper touching or relating in any way,
or to any extent whatever, to slavery as
aforesaid, or to the abolition thereof, shall
be entertained or considered by this House.
Resolued, That "the right Of the people
pesceaby to assemble and to petition the
government for redress Of grievances" as
secured by the first article Of the amend
ments Of the Constitution, does not give
to citizens of non slave holding States the
right to petition Congress to interfere with
or abolish slavery, either in the District of
Columbia, or in the Territories. or in the
States, inasmuch as slavery is denied by the
citizens of the slaveholding States to be
grievance" and was not so considered at
tho time Of the formation of the Constitu-
ton.

Placer County Iron.

We spoke several weeks ago Of the exis-
teuce Of AZ extensive lead of Iron ore within
Eve miles of this place, and that it had pro.
we'd to be quite rich. Some Of our ootsmpo-
aries were disposed to be skeptical-think-
ing it belonged to the class Of "soap nine
discoveries. We are now enabled to state
that further tests Of the ore have been made,
whioh exhibits a yield Of eighty three per
cent Of metal, and is sufficiently encour.
aging to warran: the building of forges for
tha manufacture Of iron. The requisite cap
itol is secured for the enterprise. and neces-
sary structures and work will be done to
commence operation, early in the Spring.
Tho richness Of the ore will permit Of it
being made into blooms from forges, in
stead Of making it into pig metal from a
furnace. 1t is also designed to establish a
rolling mill. in connection, for tho manufac-
turs Of bar iron.
We are assured by the proprietor Of the
ore lead, S. w. Lowell, Esq, that the iron
manufacture will be Il fixed fact next season
in Placer county. This is indeed encour.
aging, showing as it does other resources
in our State besides gold mining worthy Of
development. Placer county perhaps, may
furnish tho iron rails that in few years will
spread As . network over the soil of Cali.

The ouly accident occurring during the
FIRE, was to Mr.. Robert Piper, who was Sc
versly though not dangerously burned.
This is a heavy blow to the Bluffs. The
accumulation Of years Of industry and toll
has been swept away in an hour. But with
that energy peculiar to Califoruans, they
are already rebuilding their town. Many Of
the citizens are desirous of selecting new
site, as the mining operations are gradually
extending within the town limits; but the
high price at which lots are held upon the
proposed new location, may prevent rsmo'
val Burand Las commenced new Livery
Stable, and Eugler business house, upon
their old lots.
We hope the citizens Of the Bluffs will
study their true interests in rebuilding their
town, and have wide streets. The narrow
streets Of our mountain towns is a grievious
fault in building, and when FIRE docs come,
they never can be saved.
We sympsthise with our fsllow.citizens iu
their loss, but We know they arc not the
people to be disheartened, but before the
summer is over will have more substantial
and handsomer town than the old one ever
was.
