"Hs effort to explain the position Of the
Government on the "Allegiance" question, did
not make the subject much clearer to the com
prehension of the people than ii was before be

honor for his party because old John Adams
had recolnme nded the "Alien and Seditionn law,
which has been dead for half a century, when
in almost the same breath. he spoke OF the
"Kansas imbroglio" as a dead issue, which il is
unfair to bring before the people in this cam

rysville Democrat, writing from Freeman''
Crossing, Ynba county, says:
II have Travelled through great portion OF
the northern purt this county-in the neighbor-
hood of the New York House, Brownsville, aud
various places on the Rabbit Creek road, about
Fosters Bar, Slate Range, Camptonville, aud
other plaees-and wherever l went. made it
point to inquire about political matters, and
universally found the Anti Lecompt0n Demo
Gratis the strongest. At the Slate Range House,
was Informed that there was not a Lecompton
man in the neighborbood Where the Lecomps
are going to get their voters from, the Lord
only kOws. IL they are anyways numerous 10
this part of the county, they keep themselves
very dark, and are ashamed to be known as
Lecomptonites, as well they should"
LIKE FINDING MoNEY-We heard of bet be-
ing made a few days ago which is almost too
bad. A certain Lecomptonite, living upon the
side of Feather river opposite Oroville, was
foolish enough to offer to bet hundred dollars
that Latham would beat Curry In Butte county
He said il so loud that Democrat heard it ant
slapping up the spondulicks, made Mr.. LecomE
come TO taw. The money is now up on botl
sides. That is too good thing; It Is like find
ing money in the road. Why, Latham WON
touch bottom in Butte county !-BaHe Record

News, writing from jamestown, August 10TH
says;
IL will inform you that as far as my knowl-
edge extends among the miners. alas mudsills,
the prospect is all right, politically; and you
may expect TO hear good account from here
about election time In fact, don't know a
single miner that will vote The Latham ticket
There may be some few thai will, but they are
unknown to me.
THos. J. MCCORMICK, having been offered a
nomination for the Assembly, by the Republi-
cans of Piumas county, declined being candi-
date, and in a letter 10 the Argus gives among
others the following reasons:
Taking into consideration our position in
this county, cannet be a candidate. To suffer
my name to be run OH the Republican ticket
might be the means OF electing a Representa-
tive who would aid aud abet the Infamous Gwin
and give laid aud comfort" to the present
dynasty may God forbid. My every
interest calls loudly for me to oppose the Bu-
cbanan otiice-hoders. What have they not
promised US? and where have they fulfilled one
promise? Where is the Pacific RailroadY Echo
answers where? And where are the thousands
of their dupes who supported them rs the only
hope for Railroad? They arc still blindly
following their leaders, aud thereby making
themselves slaves 10 party. 10 conclu-
sion, let me urge upon my Republican friends
the necessity Of securing good men to represent
our common interests. I. B. Shannon made
good Representative for us, aud most cheer
fully join in his support.
OMINoUs.-Some parties on Third street yes

fly. A great many Intellectual attempts were
made to induce Milton to rise, but of no avail
Finally fresh gust Of wind came up, and it
having been ascertained that Milton carried too
much ballast, his caudal appendage was cur
tqiLed. and another effort was made. He then
shot up like rocket, but suddenly turning
down. came on top of q Celestial habtation,

for the jar had so shattered his frame that he
was carried from the field Of bis new exploit,
