AWORD OF COMFORT.

If tn, " Y. Herald is to be believed, the coun.
try is in an alarming, We may say an awful pre-
dicament. According TO that journal, there is
nothing Of any olidity or nationality left US except
the Administration Of Mr.. Buchanan. Ii such be
the fact, our position is certainly desperate. 10

TIMELY TRUTH.

While France. Germany, Belgium and other ad-
yauciDg nations of Europe, not excepting Russia,
have enjoyed for more than quarter of century
the fruits of policy which protects their national
interests, and especially their industry, We, who
profess TO be at the head of civilization, have not
yet ceased to debate the question, whether the
means to defrsy the expenses of the Federal Gov
eminent should be raised 10 manner that shall
encourage national or encourage foreign manufac-
tures-nationa or foreign trade-national or foreign
labor. Reason and argument have been exhau tied
in this controversy to little purpose; and what
progress American industry has meanwhile made,
has mainly been the consequence Of the temporary
deyistions from our commercial poli'y, compelled
by those disgraceful reyerses which were its est-
mate and inevitable effects. Thus bankruptcy
sweepaoyer the land every ten years, followed By
weary years Of depression and stagn>tion Of bust
ness.
Since there are nations in Europe who have for
generations past steadily and ngidy adhered to the
policy of Protection, and who have escaped, al the
while, financial and industrial cLamites, their e1-
perience may furnish perhaps practical solution
of the problem which still holds in debate the rival
politicians OF this country.
Among them all none hss advanced so pea'eae!y
and rapidly in civilization as Pfussia. Thirty years
ago, abe had no Industry worth mentioning. The et-
forts Of Frederic William l. and Frederic the Great
to develope manufactures had failed, because
Feudalsm kept labor attached to the soil. From
the beginning Of the French Revolution to the
catastrophe of the Empire at Waterloo, Prussia
had borne the brunt of the battles between Europe
and France, and the year 1916 found her in state
Of utter prostratiOn and financial exhaustion. The
coil which was her only resource was free now, but

observable; nor has cultivation encrosched upon
the forests in manner TO render the people de-
pendent for wood upon foreign countries. Prussia

Under her Protective policy her soil has
been improved, its yield doubled, its value
qusdruped; provisions rose in price, and fab
rcs became cheaper. In ls49, the entire pOpula-
ton of the Kingdom was better fed, clothed, and
housed than it had been in 1870 The British Free
Trade policy whose tendency is dispersion and weak
ness, would have expstriated the increase of pOpu-
lation exported the substance of the soil while
exhau.ting and deteriorsting it, aud would have
enslaved the Prussian people, as it has done
those of Portugal. Prussia with soil originally
poor, has become prosperous and independent IN

majority " Of all the members elected when .

Of Penn, the Homestead Bill was passed il the
House of Representatives yesterday, BY vote Of
100 to &C. This bill gives to every head of fam

land belonging to the United States, on the simple
condition that he shall make his home upon it and
cultivate it.

If we were TO rely implicitly on the accounts
brought by vessels which have left HaytI SINCE the
breaking out of General Geffrard's Instruction,
we might conclude that the reign of Sououque
WAS about to close. Indeed according to one
account he had already been defeated and driven
back in confusion to Port auPrnce. That how
ever. does Dot seem to have been the case; the
rumor having arisen from the sending back Of few
wounded to that city. II would appear that
conflict had taken place but how serious one, or
who was the victor, does not appear Our INFORM
a,ion. coming as it does from American merchants
or agents resident in Haytien ports ia liable to be
a little colored. SOulouque is by no means popular
with the commercial clsss, who regard him III fact
az sort of rival. He is himself the great coffee
merchant of the island, and coffee is the Chief
article produced for fcreigo export. To make
sure of his dues and duties, ard to prevent anybody
but himself from driving hard and extortionate
bargains with bis subjects, he requires that all the
coffee should pass through bis hands. This ar
rangement is by no means agreeable to the CON-
mercal classes. and their shes are all on the side
of the insurgents.
Some additional advices from Hayti come to US
BY way of Boston. A conflict had taken place, but
there was no positive Information as to which side
was the winner Republican movement was on
foot at Port au.Prince, and reports were current
that Jscmel and Aux Cages had declared for the
Republic. Soulouque's case looks dark. Business
is pretty much suspended.

CHARGES AGAINST JUDGE CURREY REFUTED-
The San Francisco Herald, not long since, con-
tanned an article stating that Judge Currey
had been candidate for Office on six or eight
different occasions The article was designed
to leave the impression that he had been an
inveterate ofice-seeker, but it seems that the
charges were all false. The Sacramento Regis
ter, of the 10th inst, in referring to the article
of the Herald. says:
| 1t stated that Currey in 1853, ran against
McGary in Solano county, for Senator. That
is untrue.
He next ran against Tod Robinson for Judge
of the Supreme Court of California. That is
untrue
In 1854 he is charged with running against
Mr.. Dougherty in SOlano county, for the AS
sembly, and was beaten. That is untrue He is
then charged with running for the short term
of the Supreme Court. That is untrue.
In 1858 be is charged with running against
Judge McKinstry for Judge of the Seventh Ju-
dicial District. That is untrue. And, lastly, he
is charged with dropping down from the Su-
preme Judgeship to that of City Attorney for
the great metropolis of Benicia, but was beat
en- even for this little place by G. W. Hayden"
That is false.
| Here we find six charges avowedly predca-
ted upon historical data all Of 0hich are unn'ti-
gated falsehoods. Is this the mode in which the
Herald designs 10 carry on the political cam
paign, upon which it has entered? Are the
basest falsehoods to be substituted for authen-
tic history, with the manifest purpose of de-
stroying the character Of candidates for high
official station? Can neither virtue, modesty,
probity nor patriotism shield man from the
pen of Misrepresentation or the tongue of the
Slanderer2 ....

PoLITIcAL Discussions. Currey and
Latham, the candidates for Governor, have en-
tered into mutually satisfactory agreement
to meet and discuss political issues at the prin-
cpal interior towns during the campaign.
They have arranged to meet at Yreka, July
18th. at Weaverville on the 18th, Shasta on the
2Oth, and at Red Bluffs on the 22d. Mr.. Currey
is announced to speak at North San Juan, in
this county. on the 2sth inst, and at Orleans
Flat OIL the 3oth, and as Mr.. Latham has al
ready announced that he will speak at Nevada
on the evening of August lst, 1t is probable Mr..
Currey will meet him at this place. We learn
that the other Lecompton State candidates have
concluded not to accept the invitation to meet
their opponents in discussion.

BRcDERIcK ON THE STUMP.-In accordance
with previous notice, Senator Broderick deliv-
cred an address at Placerville, on Saturday
evening. The number of people that turned
out TO hear him is variously estimated at from
1000 to $500, and must have included one
third of the voters of El Dorado county. His
speech, phonographically reported, was pub
lished in the Union of Monday. and was q mas
terly, effective, and eloquent vindication of his
course iu the Senate as representative of Cal.
ifornia. Mr.. Broderick designs 10 thoroughly
canvass the State, and if possible will speak in
every county. He 8 announced to speak at
Nevada next Saturday evening, and as be will
not be able to visit the county again during the
campaign, we trust that every body who can
make 1t convenient will turn out to hear him.

of the county who subscribes to the doctrine
enunciated in the resolutions Of the late anti
Lecompton Democratic State Convention, can
become member, on making application.

LATER PROM EURoPB.-By the overland mail
we have dates from Europe to June 4th. The
advces from Italy confirm the capture OF Pal
astro by the Sardinians. King Victor Eman-
uel commanded in person and exhibited the
greatest gallsntry. The Austrians twice en-
deavored to re-take Palastro, but were repns-
ed after sanguinary encounter. The Sardl-
mans captured 1000 prisoners and two guns.
The latest dispatches from Turin report the
Austrians in full retreat towards Lombardy.
Gen. Garibaldi had met with a repulse by a
superior Austrian force under Gen. Urban, who
took Verez. GaribGldi retreated into the
mountains, and gathering renforcements, re-
turned and surprised the Austrians, re-captur-
ed Verez, and subsequently, re-entered Como in
triumph. On May 3lst, the Austrians attacked
the Sandman vanguard at Pescavao and after
. fight of two hours were repulsed and pursued
across the Ticino. Another engagement had
taken place at Confrenza, in which the Austri-
aus were repused by the troops under Gen.
Forey. After a conflict of two hours, the Aus
triau picket endeavored to cross the Pc, but
were driven back by the inhabitants in the vi
cinity.

asserted was all that was placed in his hands
The Mexican took otfense at this, withdrew and
stationed himself just outside the door, and al
Clark came out, plunged knife into his side

THE New DIGGINGs.-There has been consid-
erable excitement in this county for the past
two weeks, in regard to the reported discovery
Of new and rich diggings, near Washoe Valley
A large number of persons have gone to the
new El Dorado from this place and Grass Val
ley, and few have returned, bringing conflict
ing reports Messrs. McLaae and Head, who
returned to this place on Sunday, give an unfa-
vorable report of the prospect. 1t is thought
that there may be come good placer digging'
in that locality, but there is neither water mol
wood within ten miles of the place, and the
miners have had no opportunity to properly
test the ground. A lead, containing gold and
silver, has been discovered, which is reported
to be fabulously rich, but the great drawback
is the want of wood and water. The lead has
been opened in two places, and parties are
washing the ore in rocker, using what little
water they can procure in the lead, and doing
very well, but the extent of the vein is not
known and there are no conveniences for test
ing it. At last accounts, the adventurers were
leaving the new diggings as fast as others ar
rived. Mr.. McLane says the whole thing is a
humbug, and that there are no diggings in that
country which will ever pay to work. Quite a
party started from this place for the new dig
gings on Monday, and few left yesterday; but
they went more on pleasure excursion, than
with any expectation of finding rich claims.
