i. is verE amusln. to witness the twistngs
and turnings Of the Democratic press in
their efforts to justify Mr.. COLE, one Of the
Democratic candidates for the Supreme
Bench, for giving his opinions on the stump,
before election. As dcrnier resort, they
say that Mr.. Coles personal and profess
sonal character has been viliieu by the
Republicans, thus rendering it incumbent
upon him to take the stump and vindicatc
his character before the people. If this
were true, it would afford some little pal!ia-
ton 70: candidate for the hi chest JuI:cial
Office in tho State, indulyins III parizan
hurangucs before the people. Bu. not being
true, il places Mr.. COLE in Il very awkward
position. 1t is not true, the assertions Of
Mr.. Cole and the Democrats press to the
contrary Notwithstanding. AT the time Of
his nomination, Mr.. Cole pledycd himself
to canrass The State, and his plea of justif-
cation, on account of vile SANDERS uttered
against him by the Republicans, comes too
late to be Of any avail to him. There will
be nothing lief Of Cole, but JIrck mark,
at the ballot-box in October.

kirkwood and Dodge at that place, thus
speaks of Mr.. kirkwood:
lie is by no means a feeble adversary

disappointed. He is well informed, ready
ingenious, quick and flashing in wi. and re.
partee, fluent and copious in verbal dcive.

that he ever paid over to Township Clerk
"anytling but Gold, Silver and Supervisor
receipts for work done on the roads, witt
but one exccption.' And in thu: Upc ms,

true, for certainly Mr.. Turner must know
what he is writing about, and would not
state anything but facts-as the same time
Mr.. Turner is u sadly abused man, because
the charge we made against him last week
has been bruited and hawked about the

may be, however, that Mr.. Turner makes a

Chinese in California. They have spcn-
did temple in San Francisco, and have lately
imported, at great cost, Il magniicently ugly
idol. The efforts to prevent the settlement,
OF this money making people in California
have not been successful. An attempt to
put down idolatry by law has been equally
unfortunate. 1t is difficult to perceive why
any one, in California should be sensitive on
the subject Of idolatry, as every one has
gone there to worship the golden calf.
