The Shasta courier., 1861-02-09
Started the Wrong Game.

We once read that company of British off,
GERS in India started out for days sport OF fox
hunting, and that the first game uncovered by
the dogs was royal Bengal tiger of the largest
size, which speedily destroyed the dogs and
stopped the officers sport for that day.
A somewhat similar bringing to sudden
stand-still seems to have happened to a lot OF
hunters in San Francisco, who were endeavor-
ing to organize hunting sxpedition-the game
being nothing less than the Republic created
by Washington and his noble and immortal
compatriots Indeed they had already started
upon the hunt, when 10 right in the very be-
ginning of their path stood one through whose
veins the blood of Washington was angrily
coursingI We imagine we can see the proud
and incorruptible spirit of a worthy descendant
of our immortal Washington flashing through
eyes angered at the mere sight of men SO base
as to represent robbery as virtue, treason as
patriotism, and honesty and fidelity as the worst
of crimes.
But the Nevada Democrat tells the tale to
which these remarks are Introductory
We are informed that Colonel Washington,
Collector of San Francisco, has been approached
be sectssonists, who urged him to retain all
the money that came into his hands, for the
benefit of the Pacific Republic. But the con-
spirators met with an unexpected rebuff. Col.
Washington told them that be had given bonds
for the faithful discharge of his duty, and that
every dollar which came into his hands should
be paid over to the order of the Government.
The Shasta courier., 1861-02-09
The Other Side.

There are always two sides to every political
question. In Gov. Downey's first annual Mes
sage he said:
Let the people of the Territories alone settle
the question of domestic slavery within their
borders, and be admitted into the Union with or
without slavery clause in their Constitution.
The precise time at which the people of a Ter
ritory should be enabled to decide this question
can be settled by the Act of compromise itself.
This difference certainly is not of sufficient i'm
portance to cause a dissolution of the Union !;
and although in common with very large
by the recent election, haze airays 6elieved that
the people, at all periods Of their existence, hare
control Of this subject, &c.
Upon this correspondent of the Mountain
Democrat remarks:
This admission of the Governor of his life
long belief does not argue well for the honesty
of his heart. If any issue before the people
was ever fully made, or any question clearly
decided by the people at the ballot box, it was
the Lecompton policy of the Administration, at
the election when the Governor was candidate
for Lieutenant Governor. on the Democratic tick
If the Governor tEen held the sentiments he now
boldly avows in his message, he practiced a
political fraud upon his party that never should
and never will be forgiven.
Our purpose in printing the foregoing extract
from the Governors Message and the remarks
of the correspondent thereupon, is not to defend
Gov. Downey against the reflections upon his
political honesty--for that is wholly unnecessa-
ry-but simply to show that the Democracy Of
this State did not " clearly" endorse the Le-
compton policy of the Administration" at the
election when Gov. Downey was elected Lieut.
Governor. The Gubernatorial candidate of the
Democracy at that time was Milton S. Latham
who all through that canvass everywhere in his
speeches told the people that he had opposed
the Lecompton policy of the Administration
that be had opposed it until the Administration
| abandoned it and suffered it to die-and tha
then, after its ignominious death, he had agresi
to adopt the English Bill as a fair mode of set
Ting the quarrel between the friends and enc.
mics of the dead "Lecompton policy of the Ad
ministration." And the people elected him by
twenty-one thousand majority Yes, elected
Milton S. Latham by twenty-one thousand ma
jority, in the face Of the fact that he had OPP
posed to its death the +" Lecompton policy of tn,
Administration"

The Rich and the Poor Of England.

We see it stated that at present the soil of
England is divided among $4,000 persons. That
is, one out of every thousand or twelve hun
dred British subjects own English SOIL In 1870
the total number of landed proprietors in Eng
land was e,oe0, instead of 10000 as now, and
that number is rapidly diminishing, as the pro-
cess of absorption goes on. Twenty years
hence, possibly, the entire soil of England will
be in the hands of some ten thousand of the
wealthiest nobility. Ten thousand out ofthirty
millions of peoplel
The poorer and eren the middle classes of
England will then have the same interest in
their native soil that the slaves have in the soil
of the South.
The English nobility, in making disposition
Of their lands, look upon the claims of man as
secondary to those of animals A few years ago
the Duchess of Sutherland-who affects vast
sympathy for our Southern slaves, and who Law
ished her favors upon the authoress of Uncle
Toms Cabin"-expelled several thousand poor
Scotch from her estates, in order to convert their
places of residence into sheep range. And we
observe, by paragraph in late number OF the
London News, that the Duke of Atholl has a
deer forest embracing 10000 acres-that the
forest of Farquharson on Invereauld contains
l30, ,060 Scotch acres-next to which ranks Lord
Flies forest of Mar, containing about 10000
acres
