truth he inveighed against Beatty may

from the lStosdard published the very
day the speech of Latham was made:

Judge Beatty as "man of unb)emished
character" We have known Judge
Beatty long and well, and we believe
he is as honest man as walks the

JOHN CURREY.-Mr. Currey, The
Anti-Lecompton candidate for Cover
nor, was in town during the early part
of the week, and addressed the people
of Nevada on Tuesday evening. We
are sorry that the Antics have prevailed
upon man of such high standing as
Mr.. Currey to become their standard
bearer in this contest. He impresses
the people with the notion that he is
much superior TO ordinary politicians in
all the high elements of character, and
he is winning their good opinions in
manner exceedingly dangerous. He, no
doubt, would discharge all the legitimate
duties of the office of Governor as well
as any man that could be selected from
the whole state but, then, politically
he don't see things as we do. In fact,
our opponents-both of the Douglas and
Republican stripe-seem to have adopt
ed the settled plan of covering up their
political short -comings by selecting the
very best men in the country as their
candidates. This is unfair. We have
presented men az candidates who are no
better than our principles; and we think
in all fairness that our opponents ought
to have done the same.

has been SO oft repeated that he now
takes back turn with the grace only
acquired by long practice, and lands on
his feet with a self lfradmiring smirk
that is truly inspiring. As usual the
clown was very popular with the crowd
who laughed at the fool consumedly.

tion of this administration that 1t never
possessed. OF now renounces, all right to
protect naturslized citizens, will be quo
ted as conclusive answer to all such
rocel claims. This substantial boon to
the spirit Of Know Nothingism should
by all means be accepted. Stupid dark
lanternites! Your measures were feeble,
your policy Insignificant, when compar-
ed with the mastery strokes of this new
found auxiliary. Rally to the standard,
then, and revive the "great American
party" under the lead of the immortal
james. Come out of your holes, you
defunct X. Ms and sun yourself in the
light of this new luminary. Already
the leaven is working. Hear the Rich
mond Enquirer, an administration paper
"The mass of foreigners are sensual,
groveling, low minded agrarians, and
nine-tenths of them would join the Nor
mons, or some such brutal, leveling sect,
if an opportunity offered to do so.
European Writers describe large
class of population throughout England
and the continent as being distinguished
by restless, wandering, nomadic habits,
and by peculiar conformation of the
skull and face. Animal and sensual ma
ture largely predominates with them
over the moral and intellectual. 1t is
they who commit crimes, fill prisons, and
adorn the gallows. They will not sub
nit to the restraints of law or religion,
nor can they be educated. Are such
men worth a thousand dollars a head to
breed from ? From their restless and
lawless habits, we should infer they
composed large part Of the Northern
immigration.
Slavery fends off the stream of vicious
foreign emigration from the South. In
few years, the blasphemous reformers
who curse the constitution for legaliz
ing, and the Bible for consecrating sla-
very, will curse Heaven that did not
bless the North with African slavery,
the only antidote to a crowded, motley,
foreign and native population.
Had they the lmmigrantsI feudal
lords and masters, like Russians. Huns
garians aud Turks, to furnish them with
homes, houses, and subsistence, not one

ANOTHER RooRBACk.-The enemies
of the Leeompton Democracy are circu-
lating the report that the proprietors Of
our party, were very drunk and quarrel
some at the Grass Valley meeting, that
our gentlomanly candidate FOR the State
Senate Was knocked down by an old
liner, and that most formidable dis
play of knives and pistols gave a zest to
the whole affair, after the fashion of
our young and gallan. leader. We pass
for the present these charges with dig
nifed contempt, but inform our oppo-
nents that we have sent to San Andreas
for affidavits, letters and documentary
evidence generally, which will estab-
lish the fact that tie row, knock down,
and accompaniment, were all the result
of misunderstanding.

No DOLGina'.

Some of our Lecompton friends, in
different parts Of the State, are feebly
repudiating by resolutions the doctrine
of the administration that naturalized
citizens have no right to the protection
of our flag abroad 1t wont do. The
administration is the exemplar of De-
mocracy. L establishes the tests, and
all who dare to differ with it are marked.
Were not Douglas, Broderick, etc. read
out of the party for differing with the
President Look out for your heads,
gentlemen. Nugcnt will be round with
his chalk, to mark you all. After swal-
lowing Lecomptonism and Euglishism,
and filibusterism and Lime Point and
navy contracts, and Cuba and anti-rail-
roadsm and millions of extravagant ex>
penditures-after following Buchanan
through paths never before trod by a
democratic administration, you must not
hesitate now, "Our venerable PreSl-
dent" must be sustained, or you must go
out of ''the organization" Besides,
brother Lecon ptontes, it isn't so very
difficult, Most Of you travelled after the
dark lantern, and at midnight hours
swore to perpetually oppose the foreign>
ers, and old Buck is only recurring to
your first principles. The lie Cerc
letter cnunciate the true Democratic
doctrine, so no lodging We are pleas
ed to observe that our brothers of the
Lecompton press prefer the administra-
ton to the foreigners They hold the
latter as too stupid to know th eir rights,
and too spiritless to defend them, while
the former holds the purse strings.

GwIN AND THE RAnRoAD.-Those
who objcctt to DR.. Gwin's position as paid
agent of the p. NJ. S s. Co. do not un-
derstand his enlarged views in the
premises. a Pacific railroad will never
be built unless the wants of the people
force their earnest attention to the sub
ject, but if sew eral lines of ocean travel
had been kept open, thus making the
passage from San Francisco to New
York cheap, safe and healthy, the peo-
pie would not have felt the absolute
need of railroad. But this state of
thingsDr. Gwin has prevented by assist
ing the p. NJ. S. S. Co. to monopolise
the travel by sea, and to keep up the
price Of passage to an enormous rate ;
thus compelling the people to think
about building railroad 1t was a far
seeing and statesmanIike view worthy
of the illustrious Senator.
