The Shasta courier., 1860-11-17
WANTED!

Yes, we have been slaughtered, d" horse, foot
and dragoons"- slaughtered without mercy
not the slightest quarter given US The Blacks
are triumphant. The negropholists are victori-
GUS Henceforth a white is as good as a
negro, if he behaves himself and don't eject to-
bacco-impregnated saliva into church pews, and
upon the ladies' hose and silk gowns. In short,
and to come right down to the point the Dem
ocracy have just gotten little bit ofthe--
licking that any party has ever received in any
country in any world-and per consequence, our
Rooster is on the fiat of his back breathless, and
can't crow.
The fact is, we have gotten but our deserts.
When the Democratic party becomes so unwise
as to divide its forces in order to defeat par
ticular man, it deserves to be whipped. And
were it not that we fear its defeat may result in
a subNersion of this glorious Union, we would
not regret it with excessive grief As it is,
however, we deplore the result, and the party
madness which, at Charleston and Baltimore,
occasoned secession and produced this result.
We fear the far-seeing Yancey has succeeded in
preparing the public mind to follow him out of
the Union. We trust our fears may prove
groundless. We love this Union. We do not
believe that the mere election of Black Re-
publican to the Presidency, is cause for disso-
luton. Especially is there nothing to fear from
Lincoln. Both Houses of Congress are against
him. He cannot even turn out of office the
Postmaster of Shasta without the consent of
Democratic Senate. He cannot appoint Cab
met officer, Collector, or Postmaster, without
the consent and approval of Democratic SEN
ate. Indeed he can do nothing, save to recon-
mend, without the consent of Congress, both
branches of which are opposed to him. This
will be an unpleasant truth for Republican ex-
pectants of fat Offices, but they deserve to know
it early. OF course a Democratic Senate will
refuse to confirm the nomination Of any Aboli-
zionist or ultra Black Republican to any office.
No man of the Sumner stripe will pass muster
before a Democratic Senate. All such black
sheep will have to go down to the hell of polit-
ical disappointment Thus, it may be, the
Democracy of Shasta may even control the ap-
pointment of Postmaster in this place. The
half dozen intended applicants for this office will
therefore perceive the necessity of not becoming
too saucy.
In conclusion, while the Democracy. through
internal discords and internicine strifes, have
been defeated, all is not lost. The Republicans
nave the President, but he lis powerless for
harm. We have him muzzled, battered and
hobbed. Having been badly whipped, we will
now, if dissolution can be defeated, come TO-
gether and act like men of sense, and calmly
watch the speedy dissolution of the party made
up of all sorts of discordant elements, rag, tag
and bob tail-blue, black and gray spirits-Ab-
olitionists, John Brownies, Sumnerites, Social
lists, Free-Lovers, and that universal affinity"
of the whole caboodle-a big buck nepror

L" not think more highly of himself than he
ought to Think" Notwithstanding he was thus
honored in being, perhaps thefrst young bach
eior to whom surprise partylwas ever given.
