q True PHILosoPHY.-Mr. Ethridge, of
Tennessee, whose independence is raising a
storm in the House, yesterday, by his res
olution against the Slave Trade, is an orig
inal in his way. Talking with some South
ern gentlemen the other day, he remarked
that the Fugitive Slave Law, about which
SO much fuss was making, is considerable
humbug. "Why," be said, "if nigger
runs away, one Of two things is certain
either be is mean niger, or he has a
mean master. If the nigger is mean, he
isn't worth catching-and If the masters
mean, the nigger ought 10 run"

An Abolitionist Smoked Ont.

The people of Madison county, Florida,
discovering that they had an aboftionist
residing among them-=George Eason Col
son by name-calied a meeting to consider
his case. Evidence being produced under
oath that he was by his own confession. an
abolitionist of the Greeley, perhaps even of
the Garrison stamp, the meeting resolved to
give him notice to quit. This was done
on penalty of thirty-nine lashes in case Of
bis refusal, to be repeated in double doses
in caseiof further refusal. He left. His
family was assisted by the citizens with
means to enable them to follow him.-Sa-

He, however, insisted more earnestly than
ever on getting into his carriage, and going
that moment-heaven knows where-to
decide the matter with sword and pistol an
arrangement which did not suit our watch
man at all. Philip pointed out the danger
and consequences Of such proceeding, but
the Duke overrulled all objections. Hehad
made every preparation, and when it was
over he would leave the city the same night.

horrible beyond conception But before he

SPECIMEN THIEF. We learn from Capt
Wilson, that n German engaged in mining
on Little Butte, was recently robbed Of
about three ounces of specimens. He had
about thlrty-seven ounces in six different
packages, contained in buckskin purse.
Having occasion to visit some of his neigh
bors, and considering the purse TOO heavy
to pack around, slowed it away in his bed
lie was absent about two hours, and on his
return it had vamoeed. Several days after
ward he found the purse in his bed, and on
examination, found that the different pack
ages of specimens it contained had been
opened, and portions of each abstracted-in
all about three ounces. The Capt. thinks
the thief should be hung for fool

We place at the head Of DIR columns TO-
day, the ticket nominated by The Democratic
Caucus Of Saturday evening. In dong So
we take a double pleasure, for there is not
n man on the ticket who Is not thoroughly
identified with, and interested in the
prosperity and advancement of Oroviile,
and we are also pleased that the De-
mocracy have determined to maintain
their Organization throughout the diff
ferent qualifications Of our government,
notwithstanding the efforts Of spurious
and pretended Democrats who would
fam believe there was an end to political
parties md organizations, when the old
Wing and Know Nothing parties terminated
their fitful and frctful existence
The gentlemen nominated for Trustees,
were chosen solely with view to unite
strength upon men who are interested in
protecting and fostering the interests Of the
towr. They all have permanent and abid-
ing interests here, and the management Of
our Municipal affairs cannot be placed in
more competent, faithful and reliable hands
None of them sought the position, and none
have interests to serve except those of the
public
The nominee for Marshal, Jesse Beenc,
Esq is man of sterling qualities, and well
calculated for the position to which he has
been nominated Generally known, and as
generally esteemed as man and Demo
GRAFT his nomination will meet with the
hearty support of the Democracy. Messrs.
Mclaughlin AMI Coffee were the opponents
of Mr.. Beene for this position, and the nom
ination of either of them would have af-
forded satisfaction, but the Caucus concluded
to give our opponents " Jesse at our first
Municipal clection-not the jesse the Re
publicans gave the Democracy last fall, as
Mr. Beene has no affinity herewith. His
brother was member Of the Democratic
National Convention, and had the honor Of
bringing forward the Hon. j. G. Brock
enridge as the candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency.
James McWlliams, Esq the nominee for
Treasurer, has been engaged in the Banking
business in Oroville, since its infancy, and a
pletheric fire proof vault attests the conf
dence and esteem with which the public have
regarded him
Mr.. OShea, the nominee for Assessor,
is person with whom we are personally I'M
acquainted at present, but doubtless shall
make his acquaintance in an official way,
ms the endorsement of his friends and the
caucus attest his qualification and fitness for
the position.
With the above ticket in the field, we have
no fears but that it will be our agreeable
duty to announce on the morning of the
9Th of May, that Oroyille has elected the en-
tire Democratic ticket.

Grant Holders, VS.. Settlers.

We publish this morning. an article
upon thi: subject, which will be read by set
tiers with some interest, and which seems
to foreshadow trouble and litigation between
the settlers and grant holders In this vicin-
ity At the time ii was supposed that lands
on the opposite side of the river were cover
ed by the Larkin grant we found that many
we're disposed to purchase their locations,
as soon as boundaries were determined, and
his patent for the same should be issued
This being the case, we naturally inferred
that those owning the Fernandez grant
would do the same. We were not aware
Of this report not to sell upon any terms, and
had quite forgotten this liberal ctler of MIR.
Van D0ren We may be in error, but we
still believe that the holders of the Fernan-
dez grant will find it to their interest to
dispose Of lands within their boundaries
now occupied by settlers. If they will not,
then we suppose they can do as they
please with what the law decides to be their
own.
There is one way which this question
could have been settled, and should still be
settled. Congress has passed lave giving to
settlers in California certain quantities OF
land, and under this law, our valies have
been cultivated, and made to bring forth
their abundance This inducement has
caused men to leave their native hills, wash
ed by the waves of the Atlantic, to seek
their homes on the Pacific. After few
years of prosperity here, and after they
have succeeded in gathering around them
the comforts and convcniences of civilized
life, they find their homes wrested from
theu-their improvements added to the
wealth Of Mexican grant holders and the
hardy settler, who has spent his labor, and
his means, in adding to the permanent
wealth and prosperity of the State, is oblig-
ed to abandon all, return in poverty and
wretchedness to his early home, or seek
quaint retreat in the sterile hills of the min
tral region.
This should not be. Congress should keep
its compact with those it has induced to
come hither and settle, securing 10 them
the homes they hare reared, by purchasing
such grants as may cover the claims OF
those who have settled under the induce
ments held out by Congress, in good faith
This is our plan for securing to settlers the
homes and the rights which Congress has
once told them they might enjoy by coming
hither, but have since permitted the promise
to turn to ashes on their lips.
The communication will be read with in
tcrcst by all, and we commend the facts
therein stated to the attention of the au
thorities at Washington, and trust they will
not exhibit too much haste in confirming IA
grant in which some of our federal officers
are interested.

A RETRosPECT.-Six years since, on the
