SHASTA COURIER.
Once for All.

Once for All.
The opponents 4 General ssrl Denver in this
county, the enemiies Ell y. Hon. John White, and
particularly thSse Who have no very Jona-
than and -David,liks love for the Courier,
still endeavor to make it appear that the
wishes of the majority Of the Democracy of
this county were misrepresented by the stea-
dy support given by our Assemblyman to
Gen. Denver.
Now. once for all, we assert-and we be-
lieve we have had as good an opportunity to
know as any man in the county, and perhaps
a little better. because we have taken special
trouble to inform ourself, through instrument
alities ramifying to every locality in the
county-that Gen. Denver was the first choice
of majority ofthe Democracy of this county
for United States Senator. We also assert
that, next to him, came Hon. John Nugent,
of San Francisco.
Let those gentlemen who have been de-
nouncing John White for his course on the
Senatorial election question-and the chief
number of whom reside in Horsetown and Vi
cinity-let them take ballot of the Demo-
cratic voters of that precinct, and we'll
venture small wager they will find that
even there, where they argued, by implica-
ton, all Democrats were McDougall men, a
considerable majority will be found to have
been favorable to the aspirations of John
Nugent.
We say this, not for the purpose of ex-
pressing dissatisfaction at the election of Nc
Dougall Our readers know that his success,
in the end, gave us great satisfacton-not,
however, because he beat John Nugent, but
for the reason that, while not being inferior
to any of his opponents as a man of abilities,
and as lifelong and reliable Democrat, his
election resulted in defeat Of the machina-
tions and factious efforts of the Breckenridge
members to stave off the Senatorial election
for another year, and thus throw that ques-
ton as a controlling element into the ap-
pr aching contest for State offices.
we are perfectly satisfied with Gen. Nc
his honesty. We believe, without the shadow
of a doubt lingering upon our mind, that he
will adhere to the Democracy as long as the
vital spark fingers in his proverbially gener-
GUS heart. We believe that no man has any
right to doubt his fealty to the party in which
he has been reared from boyhood, whose bat
ties he has helpe4 to fight since early man.
hood, TO whom he is indebted for the proud
bays which encircle his honored brow. And
we also believe that, in these expressions of
confidence, we give utterance to the feelings
of large majority of the Democracy of
Shasta county.
We write thus, and vet assert with perfect
confidence that. before the Senatorial election
contest was concluded, among the candidates
then in the field. Gen. Denver was the first,
and John Nugent the second choice of the
Democracy of Shasta for United States Sena-
tor to succeed DIR. Gwin.

SOUTHERN DEFINITION OF AN "ABoLITIoN-
IsT."-The Southern Literary Messenger
gives the following definition of the word
"Abolitionisti
IAN Abolitionist is any man who does not
love slavery for its own sake, as divine IN
stitution; who does not worship it as the
corner stone of civil liberty who does not
adore it as the only possible social condition
on which a permanent republican govern
ment can be erected and who does not in
his inmost soul, desire to see it extended and
perpetuated over the whole earth, as a means
of human reformation second in dignity, i'm
portanee and sacredness alone to the Chris
tian religion. He who does not love African
slavery with this love is an Abolitionist'

Literary Messenger never gave utterance to SO
ridiculous lie as the foregoing.

A CONTRAST BETWEEN THE NORTHERN AND
SOUTHERN BANKs.-The Charleston, Richmond,
and other Southern papers assail the banks Of
the Confederate States because they will not
lend money to their bogus government to car
ny on the war against the Union. Now, the
the reason why the banks of the South will not
lend money to their government is very obvi-
ous-they have no confidence in its stability,
and no good security for the repayment of their
loans. The Southern journals are talking of CO.
ercing the banks, but that would be found i'm
practicable. How different the course of the
Northern banks! The bankers of Boston, New
York and Philadelphia have pledged themselves
to the government for "a loan amounting to
S15000O,OOO. Why do they loan so large a
sum to the government? Is it because they are
more patriotic than the Southern bankers? Not
at all. The reason is that they have full faith
in the permanence of the Union and in the over
throw of the rebellion. Hence they are not
afraid to give credit to government whose Sc
curities are as good as gold and at no distant
day will be above par.

MISSION OF BOSTON FNANcIERs TO WASHING
roN.-A committee has recently left the capital
of the Bay State for Washington, which has pro-
missed to give certain modicum of money to the
government, to carry on the war, provided seve-
raj of the Cabinet members are dismissed. How
ridiculously absurd! Only citizens of an avow-
eddy abolition city could dream Of endeavoring
to embarrass the administration, by hampering
it with burthens it neither can nor will submit
to. 1t must be the judge of its own acts. New
York capitalists have had the good sense to give
their wealth and to pledge their prosperity,
without proffering any other request than that
the money they advanced shall be efficiently en-
ployed to carry on the war with activity and
put an end to rebellion in the most prompt man.
