Opinion Of the English Press: "We have
read MIR. H. S. Browns LII lures with
much satisfaction. Mr. Brow knows how
tolspeak to- the people, Hell has almost
every qualification for it, if We, may Judge
from his printed addresses. there is no
maudlin seni,mentalily about him but all
is healthful as the breeze on the hill. There
is no clap-trap he is both TOO honest aud
too earnest for that. There is neither a
Pharisaic scorn of vice, nor any efeminale
apologizing for it. but wise Christian
mans righteous hatred for it, who knows
how to look on those who are sin degraded
as his brethren. He speaks 10 the people
almost as one Of themselves, only from a
higher level and, though he uses their
daily phrases, yet he does not thereby pan
der TO vulgarity. He has happy acquaint-
ance with our homeIy common sense prov
erbs, and employs them ,ellingly. There
is no affectation of extraordinary concern
for the poor or their souls : but there is
that real manly concern which can afford
10 dispense with profession, and TO express
itself chiefly in calm but brave and sensbly
earnest endeavors. The proverb, much
cry and little WOOL you may reverse in hi
case His true desire 20 benefit the people
is partly shown by the pains with which he
collects and prepares the statistics of vice,
poverty: disease, &c, in order that his well
marshalled facts may preach to the under
standing. The genuineness of his earnest
ness is evinced by the cheerfulness with
which it tolls along the highway of COM
mon sense. He has no recourse 10 reckless,
undiscrimnating charges, and Is 100 strong
for exaegeration. Truth is enough for him !;
would that this were no distinction While
he faithfully touches the worst vices, yet you
never feel that the censor himself must
have course taste or prurient Imagination.
These Sunday afternoon lectures are not

AS might have been Erpected.

The organ of the Yuba County Boilers has
commenced talking in favor of Douglas again

election is approaching Douglas will be "a

Lest the public may have in some measure
forgotten what the Express has said about
Douglas, we will just re-quote from some of
its back files, as follows:
"Now, to show conclusively the precise position
which Mr. Douglas assumed in this Freeport
speech, from which we have just quoted, and in
which NE FOREVER ABANDONED THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY, 1t is only necessary to quote" &c.-Ex-
press, Oct 9, 1858.
"It is true that the Washington Union does
oppose Mr.. Douglas because Mr. Douglas opposes
the Democratic party and one of its most vital
principles. ."-Express, Oct 81.

from the Freeport speech OF Senator Douglas, in

Misstatements Refuted.

In regard to the garbled statements in yes
terday's Express, under the heading "rhe
Board of Supervisors and its proceedings"
we are authorized by Mr. Presbury, the Pre-
sident of the Board, to say that the same are
unjust untrue, and without even any appar-
ent foundation and the following are the
most glaring of the many falsities contained
in the article alluded to:
That "Mr Presbury would allow nothing
whatever to be done" unless Mr.. Gregory ac
quiesced with his views on everything and
that che brought the business of the Board
to dead lock by opposing everything pro-
posed by Mr. Gregory"
The truth is, and the record shows it, that
many accounts were audited after the tie vote
was had upon one Overseer for the I'd Dis.
trict, and an application of the San Francisco
and Marysvile Railroad Company in regard
to bonds, was set for a hearing on the follow
ing day.
Mr. Presbury never dreamed but that Mr..
Gregory would go on and act with him in the
transaction of the Railroad and other impor-
tant business. There was no dead lock ex
cept as to one Road Overseer, and business
was done after that. Subsequently Mr.. Gre
CORY refused to meet with Mr.. Presbury until
Mr. Whitcomb could arrive
AS to courtesy in making appointments,
there is no rule of the Board giving Mr..
Gregory the right to name oil those made in
Supervisor can by any possibility dictate in a
Board of three But Mr.. Presbury did vote
for three Road Overseers in Mr.. Gregory's
District, who had been nominated by that
gentleman. lie did not then, show any par.
tisan feeling in his conduct upon the Board.
The Express intimates that Mr. Presbury
charged up SIG day against the county,
during last week. If the learned editor of
that journal would bring his legal knowledge
to bear upon the matter, he would know that
Mr. PreSb,ry receives no per diem whatsyer,
but only stated yearly salary How silly to
pretend that his action made any difference
in his pay, when the charge is so easily re-
futed.
AS to the 'lactious and arrogant, not to say
insolent" and miserably ignorant pretensions
of the editor of the Express in presuming to
correct the Records of the County, by re.
porting proceedings which never took place
we can only say that eve leave it to the
judgment of every citizen, whatever his poll
tics may be"

Where has it an organization' Not in a single
one of the Atlantic States There are two parties
there, and only twO-the Democratic aud the
Republican party.-EePresS.
What has become, then, of the Lecomp.
ton party in Illinois, that got twenty votes
in each county? The Express is greatly
mistaken about there being only two parties
in the Atlantic States There are four-the
Democratic, the Lecompten, the Republican,
and the Know Nothing. The Democratic
party is in favor of Douglas for President,
the Republican is in favor of Seward, the
Leeompton in favor Of Hunter or Dickinson
and the Know Nothing in favor of John j
Crittenden. The organ Of the boilers is
rather badly posted up. The organ also
speaks of a fusion of parties in those States.
