A Voice From Colusi.

Let the Lewis organs howl on, and make

anything will be useless. Those resolutions
were far from being fair demonstration
of the voice of the Democrats Of Colusi

of Judge Lews' friends, who had the thing
cut and dried previously. The Democrats of
Colusi will countenance no bolters. and will
give "A warm aud hearty support to the reg

FRIEND CRosETTE-DEAR SIR-The peo-
pie Of this place were much amused, if not
entertained last evening by a speech made
by F VI Smith. Esq of your town, who ar
rived in the morning, and posted notices for
a Democratic meeting to be held in the eve
ming lie Icing the only orator on the oc
casion, commenced his speech in the usual
set style of al boilers from the Democratic
party, by an elaborate culogy upon his own
Democracy, and us he afterwards proved
tnat the Democracy had departed from him,
the eulogy was taken as all right, and in its
proper place. After closing this portion Of
his address, another eulogy was pronounced
by him, the subject Of which was equally en-
titled to it, so far as relates to his Demo-
cratic spirit--it was L. n. Lewis lie
then alledged that Lewis was defrauded of
his minatou-that he was not allowed to
speak TO the convention, and that he had no
friend there to defend him in the convention,
and, therefore, he was not hotter. After
some other uuimportant remarks he with
drew from the stand, evidently supposing
that the boys on Butte Greek would swallow
all of his blarney.
lie was replied to by miner who proved
to the satisfaction Of all, that Mr.. Smith as
serted what was not correct. in stating that
Lewis was not allowed to speak in the con-
vention, when it is well known to every dell
egate that q motion was made to allow Mr..
Lewis to speak in the convention, which was
carried by a unanimous vote, allowing him
fifteen minutes Judge Lewis addressed the
convention, invoking Heaven and earth in
his favor, and pledging himself to abide the
decision Of the convention, and that. too, af-
ter the validity of delegates 20 seats had
been settled, and who also showed the venal
and corrupt course Of Lewis friends at the
nominating convention. At the conclusion,
three cheers were given for WARREN T.
SEXTON, and three groans for Judge Lewis.

this judicial District.
AN honest tale speeds best, being plainly told
la speaking Of and contradicting the ma.
ny bald-faced misrepresentation of Judge
Lewis aud his co-schemers against the pub
lie concerning the action of the Democratic
convention for this county, we mentioned
that Judge Lewis failed to receive the en-
dorsement of that body, because the sent.
ment of the people was opposed to him-op-
posed to the aggressive measures he had en-
deavored to fasten upon the public for his
own ggTandizement-an that his own
selhshnces, unscrupulousness and uLpopu-
larity had caused his defeat notwithstanding
his labors and prayers upon the floor of the
convention, and notwithstanding his efforts
to PURCHASE n seat upon the judicial
bench Of this judicial District, as he did by
offering any position in the gift of the con-
vention to delegates, and by the offer of
money to delegate from the Mountain
House precinct We did not charge this
unscrupulous and scheming Judge with an
offence so infamous and dishonorable, with
out having the evidence to substan5iate it.
1t has been denied by the corrupt tools and
venal press in his employ. We substantiate
that charge by the following affidavit from
the delegate himself This affidavit shows
that Judge Lewis not only attempted in his
own proper person, to purchase votes 20 his
favor, but also sent others to Mr.. Kelly for
the same base purpose, and then resorted
to "fraudulent misrepresentation" to pro-
cure n denial Of his dishonorable act. In
addition to this AFFIDAVIT of the delegate
himself, we have the assurance of person
whom Lewis sent to Mr. Kelly with instruc.
tons to offer him any consideration he
might demand for his vote, that he will
make an affidavit to that effect, if deemed
necessary, and also the same assurance from
the gentleman who overheard Lewis offer to
Mr.. Kelly.
1t is proper to remark here that Mr. Kelly
came to Orovile voluntarily, and for the
purpose Of placing this matter properly be-
fore the public, and himself right before his
friends: Read his own ungSrnished atfda-
Wit to the facts:
