TIE MEssAGE.-We surrender large portion
of our space to day to the publication of the
Presidents Message. This document will be
read with interest on account of its bearing up
on the present state of public affairs.
1t is evident the President lacks the nerve to
meet the exigencies of his position. The con.
tradictions in which he involves himself in at.
tempting to avoid the responsibilities devoIving
upon him are pitiabe.
We may well address him in the language Of
Junius to the King, in his famous letter of Dec
10, 1863:
"From one false step you have been betrayed
into another. Your ministers have
reduced You to the necessity Of choosing out of
a variety OF difficulties; to situation 90 unbap-
py, that you can neither do wrong without ruin,
nor right without aifliction."

ABOUT fHE NEvAD4 KErUBltchNs-The
Republicans of this county have been or
gauized thoroughly for some weeks. They
have gone to work in warm earnest to learn
their probable strength in this county, and
TO prepare to use that strength to the best
advantage at the polls. By their efficient
club system and by culisting men in the
work they have canvassed nearly every pre-
cinct in the county to such an extent that
the number of ayowed Republicans in each
is pretty well known. We were shown, Il
day or two since, the returns sent to a lead
ing Republican of this city which, we mas;
say, are rather beyond our calculation. vet
We cannot doubt their correctness in tEe
main. The Republican strength Of the
county according to these figures IS a little
more than tweuty-four hundred votes. This
estimate is calculated not to include nou-
committsl alen, numbers Of whom are
known to favor the Republican cause, be-
sides Il large body Of the Bell-Everetters
who will vote the Republican county ticket.
If the returns shown us be correct, and We
see no reason for doubt, it is fair to suppose
the Republicans will poll not less than
twenty-six hundred votes in the county
Well informed men of the party put the vote
at much higher figure. We begin to in
cline to the opinion that the county ticket
will command at least twenty seven hund-
red votes.
Recent developments seem to indicate that
the Bell and Everett strength Of the county
has been hitherto under estimated. In a
precinct or two it is even affirmed they will
obtain majority Of all the votes cast in

The BULKHEAD, AGAix.-A. B. Dibble, a
right smart young man, who by his own adnis-
sion bestridcs the stool of the Grass Valley
National picks up item of ours relative to
the attitude of certain partic, to the Bulkheai
question, and thus replies:
1t is true that member Of the Douglas
Club of Grass Valley has trehastd the
trolling interest in the Nevada National 1t is
tEue that Judge Smith will no longer hola the
position of Editor. 1t Is untrue, that 1T Is
currently reported IN Grass Valley that his
views on the Bulkhead swindlc did not suit the
plans of some Of the leaders of the party in
this county, who it is said opposed TO any
expression of opinion on that question by the
nominees"
1t is untrue that the Committee on Rosolu-
tions, Of the late Douglas County Convention
deliberately decided that their policy should
be to ignore the Bulkhea'l question.
The insinuaton Is fraudulent ani untrue
that either of the candidates of the Democratic
Party in Nevada County. whose names appears
