The Z. N.'s-Bowie on the Stump.
Our readers will remember that several
weeks ago we informed them that the rem
nants Of X. N'ism had met in Sacramento
and selected pall.bearers to tote the body of
the unfortunate individual" Sam, around
the State until election day. In fuldllment
of their labors, Major Bowie and Judge Ral-
ston, accompanied by DR.. Powell, arrived in
town on Tuesday, and went through the
thankless labor Of addressing the sovereigns
that evening in front of the Anerican.-
Major Bowie led of, and if it was the same
speech that was delivered the night previous
in Sacramento, and which elected such high
enconiums from the Union, We compliment
the editor Of that paper upon possessing
great imagination. Mr.. Bowie spoke at
length, seeningly without enisting the sym
pathies Of his audience, rs not token Of
appreciation WAS given during his remarks
When he left the stand, the dormant K. Ms
reused themselves little, and faint applause
crept through the diminutive assemblage.-
Bowie gave the Republican platform fits
We suppose, because they had left the party

vocated the extension of the term of natura-
lization to twentyone years.
Judge Ralston followed devoting good
deal Of time to the land question. He should
have remembered that the people of Placer
county are not agitated upon the settler
question; and have no sympathy with politi-

and equitable settlement Of the land titles OF
the State, and recompense for improve.

faith went upon such lands as they believed
belonged to the general government.
DR.. Powell succeeded the Judge, and hunt.
ed Edward Stanley with pointed stick;
charged the Lords Prayer candidate with
being Shareholder in section of country
ION the coast of North-Caroina,) where it
was notorious, slaves were worse treated than
in any other portion Of the slave States
He also stated, that Mr.. Stanly, in the late
Presidential canvass, while on visit to his
native State, made stump speech, in which
he denounced the Republican party and their
principles. The "Repubs" were not pleased
with rowells speech. They thought he de-
voted too much time to them.
J. 4. Crandall, tie X. n. candidate for
State Treasurer, wss called out after Powell,
and made high pressure speech for few
minutes. IIe certainly could not have held
out much longer without serious injury to
his physical organization.
This talk closed the performance, and the
few that were assembled, quietly sought
their homes, doubtless induging in the re-
Election that the sun had long since set upon
the last victory Of proscriptive Amercanism.

pENTs.-A Yankee Jim's correspondent of
the Union, informs that paper that Col.
Weller Thomas II. Williams, James Walk
up, candidates for tNe Senate, and Mr. SAT-
ford, one Of the nominees for the Assembly
addressed about one hundred and fifty por-
sons at Yankee Jim's on Tuesday night
last.
The people Of Placer County can see
from this how we'll informed tho Union S
correspondents are.
