JUDGE CuRRY.-The Napa County Repor.
ter thus speaks of Judge Currey, Democratic
candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court
John Currey of Benica was the choice of
the Convention for Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court. This gentleman is highly
spoken VI by many of the most influential
journals OF this State, and in private circles
is no less commended and we believe the
praise bestowed upon him is not entirely
through political prediction, but as eyi
dence of the high personal esteem in viii h
the man is held. We have the pleasure Of
personal acquaintance with Judge Currev-
have had since lS5l-but the simple fact of
acquaintance, or even of friendship. alone
could in no manner bias us in his favor and
support for so important position as thai
of a seat upon the Supreme Bench, did we
not believe his character social and political
stands untarnished by anything disreputable.
AS scholar, lawyer a good citizen, gen.
tieman, the many who know must readily
acknowledge him. OF a retiring and modest
disposition, Judge Curry is but little known,
perhaps out of the 7th Judicial District bun
IN the circle of his professional laborea no
man Is more popuar-none more respected.

SLIPP OF THE PEN.-The editor of the En-
press in his report of the public speaking on
Saturday night, says:
In justice to Mr.. Coff 9th it should be re
marked that he was quite unwell; which fact
at once accounts for the dullness of his speech
and the dispersion of his hearers-the audi
ence being reduced to a very low ebb when
he closed
we attribute this TO slip of the pen or to
incorrect inf rmation, for we cannot believe
that Mr.. Russell could have otherwise serious
~ meant to say that Mr. Cofroth spoke to a
small crowd, when it is well known that he
soon drew to hear him the largest audience
that was assembled during the evening, and
held them as interested listeners until he
closed. As to whether his speech wss a dull
one or not, it kept the audience in great good
humor, at any rate

eB- The editor of the Express disclaims
having predicated any of his articles upon
anything said by us in private conversations
with the prOprietors of the Express, and
adds
If we have convicted the editor of the
Democrat" of inconsistency land we con
fess that we have) we have done so by re.
ference to his public writings and verbal
statements publicly made, and in no instance
by using anything that he may have said in
private conversations One word in Justice
to the editor of the Democrat and we have
done with the personal bearing that he has
seen cause to give to the matters in hand
He then goes on to say that he is satisfied
that we were not responsible for the senti-
ments of an article which appeared in the
Express on the 9th of August, Immediately
before our valedictory was published.
As far as any verbal statements publicly
made may be concerned, all we have to say
about them is, that verbal statements repor.
ted second hand are very apt to be mis-
construed, and are frequently misapprehen-
ded in the first place. We hold ourself re
sponsible for what we have said "in black
and white " with our name at the head of
the paper, but we cannot consent to be held
responsible for every idle rumor as to what
we may have said on the street. The editor
of the Express declares that he has convicted
us OF inconsistency, upon our own published
editorials Well, we do not think he has.
but if he has been able to do Sc to his own
satisfaction or any bodys else. it is perfect
ly legitimate mode of warfare, and we have
nothing to say against it. One thing, how.
ever we know, and that is, that no man can
publish any connected series of our articles
entire, as they appeared, with the subsequent
editorial explanations from time to time, and
convict us of any inconsistency 1t is easy
enough to take detached parts, and make out
a case of inconsistency, at any time, and the
most consistent man upon earth can be
thus made to look very inconsistent

Daily national Democrat., 1858-08-24

AGTN Ir.-Mr. Parks, Lecompton candi
date for joint Senator of Yuba and Sutter, has
been making speeches against the San Fran
cisco and Marysvile Railroad. He held
forth in the Butte Mountains, on Saturday
night, and took strong ground against Mr..
Goodwin, his Ant i-Lecompton competitor
for the Joint Senatorship, because Mr.. Good
win was mainly instrumental in having the
Railroad Bill passed. His great point-and
truly it was brilliant coup de etGt was this:
That the Railroad would ruin the farmers of
outter, because it would bring the grain.
growers below into competition with the
grain growers Of Sutter, and as those below
could grow more grain and with less expense
than those above, the Sutter county produce
would't be worth the raising-the marke {.
for Sutter would be utterly RUNE IL Well, this
is the first time that we overheard of a coun-
try being ruined by Railroads. We have
heard of men being ruined, sometimes, who
were engaged in Railroad enterprises, but
we never did hear of country being de
stroyed in its great leading interests by any
number of railroads. Railroads. on the
contrary are the very life of the section
through which they run. They give inereas-
ed value to land. They afford new and
larger markets for everything that may be
produced from the soil They cheaper those
articles of every day consumption which the
farmer must purchase in the principal marts
of trade. They open up the country for set
Element. They increase the amount of taxa
ble property, and make whole sections grow
and prosper. Well if the people of Sutter
vote for would be Legislator who is against
internal improvements in the county, and
| for confning it to to the most1 primitive
modes of communication, and keeping its
inhabitants isolated and shut off from the
rest of the world as much as it possibly can
be done. they are not the men we took them
for, for we imagine that they have a due
share of the intellig enec which usually be.
longs to American citizens. We do not know
what the people of Sutter may think about
it. but certain are we that the people of
Yuba county would not touch with a ten
foot pole" any man who was opposed to Rail
roads. Why, they would as soon be repre-
sented by a heather. Oppose railroads. =
Heaven forfend us. Arc we lapsine into
barbarism, that we must vote for a man who
is for stopping the very march of the country
itselfin the path of prosperity Mr.. Parks,
you are just the kind of fossil that our polit-
ical antiquaries will take pleasure in slowing
away, ns curiosity in the museum Op
posed to Railroads Well, the bare fact
itself is sufficient, without any comment.

Irncl. zach. nIontRomerY.

This favorite son of Sutter, who first left,
we believe the Old Line Wings for the Dem
ocratic Party in 1855. and has been so very
consistent since that he thinks he is privil-
eyed to arraign the consistency of Demo
crats who have been in the party for years,
has one shadow upon his political escutcheon,
which. for his own sake-as we take great
interest in the Sutter County Statesman-we
should like to see removed. We hear it
openly charged upon him that, protesting to
be Democrat, he opposed, with all his
might and main. the regular Democratic nom,
inee for the Supreme Judgeship in 1857
Judge Field, who was on the same ticket
with John B. Weller, then candidate for
Governor This of itself was a great offense
against the party to which he claims to be-
long-one of those objectionable political
transgressions which it takes years of peni-
tence and sorrow to wipe out We sincerely
hope that Uncle Zach. will clear himself OF
this charge, but we must confess that we
strongly doubt whether he will be able to do
it. 1t is further charged that he assisted or e

A LecomU,on Fabrication Nailed.


We took occasion, the other day, to deny
the assertion that Mr.. McKibben had assured
Mr.. Cummings, delegate to the Republican
State Convention, that the Douglas Democra-
cy and the Republicans would be together
within year. We knew it was a base mis-
represention, and upon good authority con
tradicted the statement. 1t appears that Mr.
Cummings did not, as we apprehended, mis-
understand what Mr.. McKibben had said,
but Others misunderstood the meaning OF Mr..
McKibbens remarks as reported by Mr..
Cummings We give the testimony of a
highly respectable citizen of this city, who
was present in the Republican State Conven
ton as delegate, and speaks on his own
personal responsibility. He authorizes us to
say. that he demonstrated with the Express
folks against their statement, that Mr.. Nc
Kibben had said "thus and so" to Mr.. Cum
mlngs, and told them that they ought to cor
rect it. He took to them, he says, the fol
lowing communication, which they declined
to publish. He gives us full liberty to insert
it in our paper, which we certainly have nc
hesitation in doing:

these gentlemen was under discussion, Mr.
L. W. Park spoke against the same, contend.

ional nomination, than, as he termed il, play
such farce and throw ourselves into the
hands of the Douglas Democracy. The wri
ter replied to Mr.. p, urging, upon the prin
ciple that the Supreme Judge should not bt
nominated on political grounds, the nomina
tion of Mr. Currey, and that of Mr. McKib
ben, to show to an Administration, that haG
departed from every principle of justice, that
man who had stood up boldly and fearless
ly, in spite of menaces or offered bribes OF
honors, would be sustained by the people re
gardless of party ties. 1t was in reply tC
these remarks that Mr.. Cummings spoke
against, not in favor OF, the nomination o.
Currey and McKibben, that we were viola
ting Republican principles by so doing, and
then stated that he had seen Mr. McKiLben
who said to him "For Gods sake let me alone
1 don't rant your nomination, nor anything tc
do with your party. We are far enough dpart
an the Democratic party non, but If yow let as
alone zoe shall be together within gear
That remark having been misunderstood by
some to mean that the Douglas and Republi-
can parties would be together within year
