IMPERTINENCE. Some inpertinent
questions were ropounded to Mr.. La
than in regard to the golden key on
Monday night, in the shape of hand
bull, which he did not condescend to ans
wer. They were handed to him while
on the stand. The president of the
meeting interested himself in priv ate
perusal of them. Such rascally attempts
to entrap our standard bearer are highly
reprehensible. We can't say the ques-
tions were not respectful, but it was very
embarrassing to have them asked at
such a time.

Great Demonstration i.

Messrs. Latham, Burch, Smith, Dem
yer, ellis, Will. Hicks Graham, Muy-
gridge, Tilford, Snovden, Tom Williams
Higley, Baldwin, Battaile, Cofroth,
Price, Miner, and other patriots in and
out of the Custom House were in town
on Monday. At night ten lanterns
brilliantly illuminated Broad street op-
posite Harrington's, in which an assem-
bly, of seventeen tn ousand, seven hun
dred and seventy-seven bold citizens
were eongregated to listen to the super
human eloquence of those of the afore-
said dislnterested patriots. who might
air their vocabularies. Mr.. Latham led
eff in one of his stirring efforts, in which
he stirred up the filth that the scavengers
of the press had accumulated about him.
Cheers interrupted every sentence, and
emphasized every period. The noble
Lecomptonites, true to party, were de-
termiped to believe evervy WORD. and
swallow any explanation. Their graft
fication was intense aud SO was ours.
Major Tilford then fell on to the
stand, and spoke for ten hours in praise
of the American eagle and Buchanan.
He was succeeded by Jim Coffroth (all-
froth) who exhibited thin slice of Dem
ocracy sandwiched between thick ones
of Know Nothingism. But as he has be-
come shining light of our party we
must forget his manifold defections of the
past, as he is now actuated only by
principle
He was followed by Burch, who made
an eloquent speech personal to himself,
and proved a cold under which he was
laboring was the fault of Broderick, and
wound up amid enthusiastic applause.
The next day the distinguished visit
ors were escorted out of town TO the great
satisfaction of our citizens by sixty nine
persons in vehicles and on horseback,
amid the enthusiastic silence of the
crowd, who watched their departure with
delight.

HoRRrBLE.-Cofroth says that the

Lecompton friends are in truly fright-
full situation. To be "ephemerai" is,
itself, most melancholy state fora great
party to be in; but on top Of, and after
that, to be "effcte," the mind cannot
steadily contemplate the attending hor-
rors. They will be in as unfortunate

COUNTY PRINTING.-The printing of

a second year by the Board of Super
sisors on Tuesday last. On the bids
being oper ID, ours was found to be the
lowest, and the contract was awarded
to US. We are enabled to put ins low
bid from the superior facilities We pos
sess for executing work rapidly and
chcaply. and believe we are able to defy
competition in these respects, as we'll as
in the character of our work. That the
public concur with lis is evinced by the
liberal patronage bestowed upon the
JOURNAL office.

| FALSE PERsoNATIoN.-The Anti
Lecompton folks claim that they are tho
real Democratic party, and, in support
of their ridiculous pretensions, say that
they have the principles of that party.
Now, we respectfully ask what consti-
tutes party2 1t is an association united
for the purpose of controlling public af-
fairs, (including public patronage as an
incident) and existing in an organized
form. Principles are simply the means
by which party exists, and acquires
power; but the identity Of party no
more depends upon the character of tho
principles which it adopts. than the
identity ofan individual depends upon
the food which Ne cats. a man may
subsist one year upon beef and plum
pudding, the next on potatoes and salt,
and the next on free lunch and bad
whisky, and yet be the same man all the
time; and so party may advocate pop
ular sovereignt one year, Intervention
the next. and slave code the next, and
yet be. all the while the ssmo party. Tho
organization. the true success sion, tho
offices,-these make the party. To the
victor belong the spoils, is truth we all
admit the democratic party is the vic
tor; the spoils then are with the DEM
ocratic party but where are the s2oils
The argument is conclusive. No sys-
tenn of feeding will change an eagle to
a shanghae; and no set of principles can
make the Anti Lecompton organization
regular. But it seems that you can't
make some people see nothin'.
SUSTAIN THE ADMINISTRATIONS
call upon all true Lecomptoniies to rally
around the Administration. 1t must be
sustained. The administration has ali
the spoils to distribute for nearly two
wears longer, and it would be a pity that
it should lack a3herents to put in the
offices. Then it is so very convenient to
have a Pope at Washington, to infalll-
bly Law down the principles ofthe Dem~
ocracy, and chalk out its course. 1t saves
a power of thinking, and all The trouble
ofinvestigation. Buchanan knows it all
is platform IN himselfl Again, are
not the office-holders all with us! What
better guarantee do we need that we are
all right? Are they not travelling over
the state, fixing the thing up, and telling
the dear peeps all about it! If they
want courage can't they jingle the tede-
raj coin in their pockets AS we have
the spoils, let us kiss the hand that leeds
us. Does the wild ass bray over ITS
fodder.
.S.-As our paper is now Lccomp-
ton, we call the attention Of The Custom
House to it as a valuable advertising
medium. Its merits will be at once ap-
parent, we want our share of the adver-
tisemcnts, "by authority" and don't
think the STANDARD and National should
exclude us any longer from the CRIB.
The Nevada journal., 1859-08-05

A ACHANGE.-Since joining the Ad-
ministration democracy, we feel freer,
more Independent and looser than we
ever felt before. During our whole
former political career we had been
"crib'd, cabined and confined" by cer-
tain foolish and womanly notions of pro-
priety and justice; but henceforward,
having discarded forever all moral re-
straints, we intend to deal with oul foes
in such a manner as will convince them
that Shakespeare erred whom he said
conscience makes towards of US all. "
To our foes we say don't tlatter your
selves that if we get a chance to stab in
the dark, any "still small voice" will
bid us pause. To our former friends we
say that all attempts at our reclamation
will be fruitless; we are gone too far; we
could not recover our former position,
and we must pursue our present course
even though it leads to the very depths
of degradation. We are Locofocos, of
the lowest grade; and we brazenly pro-
claim it to the world.

DIR. PowELL.-We cannot consistent
ly oppose the right ofany citizen to free
ly discuss public affairs; but it is exo
ceedingly unfortunate and annoying that
such plausible orator as DIR Powell,
Anti-Lecompton candidate for S. Court
Clerk, must be allowed to address the
people in open denuncation ofthe great
democratic party. He is consummate
stump speaker, and the blows which he
gives us are terrible, He seems to in
SITUATE himself into the good grace of
the people without any effort, and his
appearance and manner are so proposes
ing that his hearers at once take him for
an honest man. He is an old man and
was always an unhinching democrat
from the days of Jackson to the nomi-
nation of Buchanan, lat which time he
says he stalledj; and this fact gives him
much influence with old democrats. We
are convinced thathe, himself, cannot be
beaten but we want, if possible, to pre-
vent his influence from electing the BAL
ance of the Boiling ticket. We advise
our friends throughout the state to get
up dog-fghts or some other means of n
terruptions, whenever he attempts to
address the people. We stood and lis
tened to him on Monday night until we
got "madder than thunder" he seemed
to know our weak points, and land us
numerically on the tender places until
we nearly "hollered." HIS pisen' to us.
The Nevada journal., 1859-08-05

INApvERTENr.-Mr. Latham in the
splendid defense which he made on Mon
day night, unfortunately placed that
noble old Democrat DR. Gwin, in deli-
cate position. This was entirely unin-
tentional and inadvertent on the part
of Mr.. Latham. We are satisfied that
if he had thought for a moment of the
effect his speech would have upon the
connection of DIR. Gwin with the senate
rial election, he would have adopted
some other line of defense; and Mr..
Latham's great eloquence would have
rendered any position which he might
have taken plausible, and satisfactory
to his friends. As it was, Mr.. Latham
said that Broderick would not elect any
person Senator unless that person signed
a writing surrendering all the Federal
patronage this Mr.. Latham refused to
do, but, as DR.. Gwin was elected, it
gives our enemies great reason for insin-
uating that Gwin did sign such paper.
We are sorry this thing was not consid-
cred before Mr.. Latham's speech was
agreed upon and prepared.
However the great object at the pre-.
sent time is to elect Mr.. Latham; DR..
Gwin's election will not come on until
another year, at that time Latham will
be firmly seated in his Office and then
some other explanation can be given of
the affair favorable to Dl. Gwin. There
is no great harm done after all.

" Toby or not TOby--That's the ques.
tiOm.''

Mr.. EDITOR Won't you please tell the
ladies for me, that it win never do at all to
celebrate Saturday as New Years day, be-
cause that day is not only not the first day
of the New Year, but is not in the New
Year at all, and is, in fact, the very last day
of the Old Year, for such purpose, "a day,
when the Old Year has not quite got cred
itably through with its duties and response
bilities, and when the New Year has not
presumed to intrude itself or its concerns
on our notice, and has, as they say in Con-
grees, emo right to the floor"
Besides, we gentlemen, as you have just-
ly observed, are buster on that day than on
any other of the week. Some of the very
best looking men among us land we know
what the ladies say of us under that head) !,
are always so busy on Saturday that we
have not time to brush our hair, and whisk-
ers, and moustachios, and all that, so as to
be fit to be seen. And we like to be seen,
too. and wish to make New Years calls, for
it is delightful to most of US gentlemen TO
get so many glad and cordial greetings from
the other sex at the beginning OF the year.
God bless them 1t makes us better pleased
with ourselves for a long time to come.
These New Years calls have got to be one
of the institutions of this city-one OF
its attractions-one way of making stran-
gers feel more at home and we hope to see
them maintained on next Monday, since our
glorious old English Sabbath observance
forbids our calling on that New Years day.
Then please persuade all the ladies accus-
toned to keep open house, to do so on Mon
day and stir up all the old bachelors and
young men, and especially the married men
who best of all appreciate the ladies-to
turn out in the afternoon of Monday, and
let us have a good time generally.
Yours, entirely, BON HOMME.

cal year. The period seems to have arrived
for determining the question whether this
Department shall become a permanent and
ever increasing charge upon the Treasury,
or shall be permitted to resume the self-sus-
tanning policy which had so long controlled
its administration.
The course of legislation recommended by
the Postmaster General, for the relief of the
Department from its present embarrass-
ments, and for restoring it to its original
independence. is deserving of your early and
earnest consideration.
In conclusion, would again commend to
the just iberality of Congress the local in
terests of the District of Columbia. Surely
the city bearing the name of Washington,

Capital of our united free and prosperous
COnfederacy, has strong claims on our favor
