The TRIBUNE ON COMPARATIVE CORRUPTION
The Tribune takes exception to our conclusions
az to the comparative corruption Of the repub-
licsn party and the democratic party which we
came to In our comments upon the Degroot con
tract case ut Washington, because we said that
had there been a republican Secretary OF War
In Mr.. Floyd's place. the amount plundered
from the treasury would, in all probability,
have been doubled or trebled. Now, we are
not disposed to do any Injustice to either OF
these two factions. There il corruption enough
in either OF them to satisfy Satan himself; ami a.
to getting into controversy about which fac
ton is the most corrupt, we do not see the ne
ces~ity OF il; such a discussion would not b.
worth the trouble. But when We look at the
rascality OF which the republicans have been
guilty, wherever they We're 10 power, We .nins
tina, We had some warrant for our conclusions in
the Degroot case.
For example the amount plundered By The
last Albany Legislature alone was two millions
OF dollars, stolen in the brief space OF u huG-
cred days from this city, in the form Of It's rights
and franchises. But Msssa Greeley's excuse
for Ibis outrageous robbery Is that there were
four democrats implicated in the business to
every two republicans, and he laments, no
doubt. that he plumber was divided in like pro
portion; and he cites the Wisconsin corruptions,
aud those in Illinois and Maine, as similar ex
amples But We know that the members Of each
party in the Albany Legislature were divided
lust about the other way. However, let that
pass; we have no objection to this mode of set
Ting the division Of the plumber. 1t only shows
the fine sensibilisy of Massa Greeley in claiming
evenhanded justice for the robbers Of bis own
party. If We had Our will we would send the
plunderers of both factions 70 the State prison
TO work out the difference for the benefit Of the
State.

The Red Bluff Beacon has the following,
which we commend to the Express:
The Marysyile 2xpress says that Col. E..
}, Lewis, of this (Tehapa) county, has de-
clared for }. c. BreckinSkige, and adds that
it is glad to hear it, as thsakolonel is 1aoJle
tetto2o. and deserves to be on the right side.
Now we have not seen the Colonel for some
ten or twelve days, and cannot say precisely
what his present ideas are but when we last
saw him, he was all right as far as voting
and working for Douglas is concerned. What
effect the soft soap spread on him by the Elk.
press VIII have, we are unable to say. But
one lhlnE we can positively assert is, that
nlne teuths of those who have heretofore
been his warmest friends, of those now claim.
ing to be Democrats are Supporters of Mr.
Douglas. The following resolution, which
WAS introduced in our County Convention by
Col Lewis, has alenated him entirely from
the Breckinr.dgers. Some Of them have even
gone SO far as to denounce not only him but
those who voted for his resolution, as Re.
publicans at heart. He insisted strenuouslv
on its passage and even made the assertion
that If it was not passed he would withdraw
from the Convention.
Now, we have too much confidence in his
IN 'c'S ana consistency TO OelleVe he has
left his friends and the true Democracy, and
gone over into the hands of the enemy. We
predict that before another number of the
Beacon goes to the public, his name will be
enrolled among the supporters of Douglas
and johnson. as member of the National
Democratic Club of Tehama county, The
following is the resolution referred to:
Resoired, That we believe that the insti-
tuition of slavery may be tolerated by the
Constitution Of the United States in the Ter
ritories. but we hold that the people Of the
Territories are endowed with certain attr-
butes of sovereignty, to-wit: The right, in
the exercise of their legislative capacity, to
to enact such local or police regulations, as
they see fit to do, whether it may work an
injury or benefit to the institution Of

Time We had too much confidence in our

of performing such a summersault. His
voice has often been heard leading the De-

victory. and he will not be silent during the
present canvass. lie has many warm
friend in the ranks OF the true Democracy,
who will not only rally to the polls in No

but will sustain him, and endorse his course

Hesolrcd That the habit of the married

Is becoming SO serious an evil thatit demands

Rcsohed That while we entertain the
highest respect and proper degree of affec-
ton for our eastern cousin and relative bv

er reverence for that portion Of the martial
vow at the family altar, and for that scriptu1.

are not rendered to the "gentlemuuly and
ailabe' railroad conductors who supcriutcu-
ded the safety Of our wives and children in
their fight from homes prepared and sus-
tained at heavy expense by ourselves; and
that we reprobate the invention Of railroads
as destructive to domestic employment and
personal comfort
Resolped, That we heartily endorse the
suggestion of a permanent organization for
mutual aid and protection, and that we re-
commend to the married men Of our city to
give it their countenance and support.
