| Garret Smith school, who reads Helpers book
ON SUNDAY instead Of the bible. HIS politics
aside, Mr.. Bell is an intelligent gentleman, good
citizen and kind neighbor. He is an ardent
sunpor,er of "Uncle Abe" and the Douglas fac.
lion will not seduce him into their support
hy cou(eriuR the ANAL honor OF Vice President
OF a small Douglas meeting, though II seemed
| IN confirm the report that the Dugs and Blacks
had fused in this county. Let them fuse we
beat the fusonists last year and can beat them
again.
and oh ye gods how the D0ugs Squirmed and
twisted under that d6< speech. Many Of his
friends say they pity him, and he was, In that
specch. an object that would arouse the pity
of any one had he spark VI II in bis SOUL
He thougt he would be opposed TO the Bulk
head swnde-hadnt examined the question:
knew nothing abOutit; but ought To be elected
to the Senate 10 act for the people Of Fl DOradO
county On this question important ~ the vital
interest and prosperity Ofthe State. His views
on the Chinese question were profound and
clear. lie would ''exterminate" them, not ell
at once but gradually, and concluded by saying
he bad digesied no plan and knew not what was
best 10 d. iu the matter. He was opposed tO
federal officers who drew their "nOurIshment
and nuiFiincnt" from the federal treasury, haV-
ing anything To say 10 politics. Strange doc.
trinc that II q man accepts Office, he should
be deprived the liberty of speech and opinion,
the dearest privileges 0f an American freeman.
This is not Democratic doctrine, nor should We
expect Democratic doctrine irum man WHO
never voted Democratic vote in all his life.

disgusting rOdomuntade never VAS inflicted On
an impatient audience. He made the sume
speechhe delivered here a year Ago. "n his hob

Congress had made most nunticent donation
to this State for cannon schnnlr. and siill,
with this "mOst muDihcent dunatiUn," the pro.

was So poor, that he had to vote for the Bulk.
head monopoly to secure five per cent Of the
gross receipts fur school purposes. This Spol.
0gy for his support II that most odious swim.
die, did not catch u man. They saw from his
laburcd excuse, that he had been induced TO
support that dAmnable monopoly, for other
reasons than the public ROod. The five per
cent. did not deceive any one Of his hearers.
and C"nness. placed = mean estimate upon the
intelligence Of the people, when he supposed
they could not see that this BulkheAd company
would add this tive per cent. 10 the dpckayc or
wharfage vt every article that the miner con.
sumeS, Hnd not one cent would be taken from
the mon poly. If COnness wanted u add tive
per cen, to the schuml fund. why did he mot
pass bill levying direct tax Of five per cent
instead Of making us pay il to this monopoly,
IN our sugar, tea. coffee, -four, bacon, DC. His
audience saw that the five per cent. was not
what made Johnny support; but the Bulkhead.
ers were willing TO give him that preteXt, and
q very fmsey one ht that. lie denounced Gov.
Dow nry most bitterly, in his speech and on the
street, for not doing what he ''adviAed him to
do" and his veto 0i the Bulkhead swindle. Az
