ting doctrine more ultra against foreigners
than anything the Know Nothings ever con
tended for in the heyday of their power
The utmost that the Know Nothings deman-
ded was that the term of probation, previous
to being naturaized, should be extended /;
but, after naturalization should be effected,
they were for placing the foreign aud the ma
tive born citizen upon perfect equality, in
every respect The Express on the contrary
contends for the doctrine of the lie Clerc let
ter, which denies this equality.

ings, of the bluest stripe, while the fourth
proprietor, owning a one.third interest, is so
much in favor of the doctrines of the old
country from which he came that, notwith-
standing he has been in the United States for
about eight years and amassed among us a
fortune he has never condescended to be
naturalized This is his own business it is
true, but it shows very conclusively that he
cares nothing for the rights of an American
citizen. In regard to unnaturalized citizens
we have always observed one thing and that
is, that they almost invariably side with the
questions that arise between the United
States and foreign nations, while naturalized
citizens are all truly American in their SYM
pathies and feelings. The reason is obvious.
The one class expect to return tc the old
country, the other to remain in the land of
their adoption. An unnatardiizea citizen

and why should not believe in like ex-

A LITTLE TOO rAsr.-The Sacramento Stand.
ard says
eve are authorized by Judge Bolts to say

declared to be within his knowl-
edge" that he was not the author of any
communications to the Sacramento Union
upon the subject, and that he does not even
know who the author was"
In reference to the above disclaimer, the
Express says:
$50 the DEMOCRAT can tell its informant
that he lied Thus it will prove with the
balance of the DEMOCRATS reliable informa-
ton"
Now, what did the DEMocRAr's informant
say? In giving his information, the DEMO
cnAr observed as follows:
"Wc are informed that there are
good reasons for believing that Judge
Bolts, of the Sacramento Standard was
the author of certain communicated ar
ticles which appeared in the Sacramento I'm
ion in 1857, in reference to this same subject, |
which articles gave evidence that the writer
knew the history Of the whole natter
Judge Bolts can say, if he chooses, whether
this be true or not"
Does it make man a liar, TO say that he
has good reasons for believing thing which
is yet matter of doubt? Our Informant
stated that he had good reasons for believing
that Judge Bolts wrote the articles in refer
eace to the alleged Latham Bribery Case;
he did not say that he knew he wrote them
or anything of the kind he simply believed
that he did Judge Bolts says that he did
not write them and that is sufficient.
But, because Judge Bolts did not write
the articles. it does not prove that the arti-
cles were not written at all, nor does it in
any manner demonstrate Mr. Latham's inno-
cencc 1t was merely conjecture1 that Judge
Bolts wrote the articles strongly reflecting on
Mr.. Latham's character If Judge Heyden-
felt or some one else wrote them, why then
it is not Judge Bolts who is TO be appealed
to, to reiterate or explain what was said, but
the real author himself Some people say
there are good reasons for believing that
Judge Heydenfelt is that individual. But.
should it so happen that even Heydenfelt is
not the Junius in the case, surely it makes
no man liar who has coDjectured that he
was.
1t seems to us, that the Express is trying
to draw its gubernatorial candidate through
a very small knot.hoe 1t makes his guilt or
innocence depend upon the question whether
Judge Bolts was the man who wrote articles
in the Union denuncatory of his character
If Judge Bolts did not write them why La
than is innocent A logical conclusion,
