En-. JOURNAL:--l exceedingly regret to see
poor Dartmouth" so much dilapdated in mind.
He commenced by saying that there was cow
ardly attack made on him. emcnatng from two
different sources. If he thinks snch to he my
characteristics. for bis better cddcation | will
here state that he Is as much mistaken in this
particular as he was in his great chimcrcal po-
litcal aspirations in 1856 and 81. for such otlr
butcs, Mr. D. are not peculiar to my family. As
for the other gentleman he refers to, h" is able ID
defend himself doubt very much. however, II
he dcscends so low. nor would |, if ] were NOT
moved by the deepest influences of charity for
when T., m mbcr that to Instruct the ignorant IS
n spiritual work of mercy consider myself don-
bly, comp nsatcd for my services. ! had hoped.
however that he would not have digrtssCd so
much from his original premises. and that he
would have made some feeble effort t" sustain
his position as a historical controversonalist,
through the aid of his ingenious prompter; for
indeed | have been Informed on n reliable author
ity, that he is but the amanuensis of the trenZicd
correspondence of the literary squash of Oregon
Guch. But this may be wrong AS it was near
the change Of the moon at the date Of each yalu.
abl, production: for we'll know that the super
fetal graduate has very romantic notions APP
proaching the lurar changes, and as proof OF
tn $ much regretted fact he was hypotheti' a.
candidate for no less than three different mpor-
tant Offices in This strict and county at the LAST
election, that of Senator, Sheriff and County
Clerk Prodigious insanity! Poor human ma
turc! He acquainted mn, however, luckily for
himself Of his Senatorial aspirations. at the same
time gravely nsinuating the Mogul like flourish
he would make at his Senatorial debut beneath
the portico of California Senate house. Giddy
humanity
How thou hast raised in my esteem"
knowing too we'll that his natural vocation
had closer affinity to the handling of dung
fork than that Of legislator. and having read
little about human nature. Immediately ohscrv-
ed the great effect the lunar change had on the
already imagined enthusiastic elected Senator,
invited him to a BATH (went to Mr.. Dixon'S my
colored frend.) and procured for him cold BATH
together with having his Uranium submerged
dozen or more times in the water and after this
a most bountirul dranght of cognac and Peter
sen S Celebrated Vegetable Stomach Bitters" l
forthwith dispatched him for Oregon Gulch.
The next thing heard of this visionary gent,
he was mysterious candidate for the Office of
Sheriff and Clerk, all at one and the same time.
Out of something in or about 1909 votes that
we're cast in Trinity County. this unhedgcd po-
lilcal mOuntrlank's vote stood rs follows SEN
ator, 0; Sheriff. IL; Clerk, 10; So you see. Mr..
Editor, and ndulgrnt reader, that this fellow is a
popular creature after all. From that day to
this the poor hour book graduate could not cha
grin me neither by words nor acts | forgave
him all.
In my more juvenile days read of n political
cacfan something similar 10 IS Dartmouth."-
His name was Whong. the Miller. He used to
imagine himself Lord Mayor of London. when in
reality poor Whang was but an understrapper to
a Cockney oyster peddlcr. Deeply plying poor
" Darmouths" needy circumstances at present
together with the bad opinions of our uncharia
bic merchants with regard to his default in pay
ment Of very old bills. and his very bad fortune
in the multarious speculations he embarked in
for the last seven months-for in that time he has
been a bar hoy, butchcr-boy, and candidate
for Senator, Sheriff and Clerk I would there
fore, in earnest sympathy, suggest that he amply,
through the medium of some one or other of bis
old senatorial associates for the position of clown
the next time that Rowe & Co.'s Circus comes to
| Trinity County. Even this fear would he q
failure. as it would be littln mite too natural -
No one in Trinity County would be more happy
to see poor D. raise than T. for he is decidedly the
softcsthc hearted fellow when he has a leetle mite of
" red eye" in, and when he knows you to have
loose four bits in your pocket, that there is ON
Oregon Gulcb.
Had Dartmouth" confined himself to his orig
ina premises, and argued his points like gen
tIeman and scholar I would have gladly met
in the arena ofpoitical disputation, Bat this he
did not-could not
In conclusion, agree with him in one particu-
lar viz that Irish are and were Irish all over
the world. They were Irish at the signing of The
Declaration of Independence and too, dear
Dartmouth" they were Irish at the frozen
gates of Quebec, at Bunker Hill, Little Rock
Brandywine, the plains of New Orleans. Buena
Vista and the fields of Mexico. And doubt not
that there are yet to be found the bone and sinew
of such Irish at the seat OF this intellectual war
fare, the classic spot of Oregon Gulch With
profound sentiments of respect, | am, Mr. Editor,
your obedent servant M.
