Penny Wise and Pound Foolish

The theory that Freedom Is more expen.
sive than Slavery strikes us as exceedingly
ludicrous. To oppose the abolition of
slavery, upon the ground that it will increase
our taxes, will appear to the intelligent
readerto be penny wise and pound foolish. !"
1t is the partial legislation in favor ofslavery
that has made our taxes so generous"
The cost o. slavery has been enormous To
say nothing of its blgl ting effects upon trade
its depreciating influence upon the value
of our lands, and its antigonlsm to all classes
Of industrial pursuits, the sum of money
paid in taxes for slavery, under the partial
and unjust laws Of the State, would astonish
the men who have paid it. Every slave
who has been shot in an attempt to escape,
has had to be paid for by the State. Every
negro who has been convicted of murder,
rape or other crimes, has to be paid for by
the State. Moreover the citizen who is
injured by the Save who commits the crime
gets nothing to compensate him for his
injuries; but the oner of the slave is paid
a thousand or fifteen hundread dollars by
the State for the convict, and the man who
is injured is taxed to help to pay for the
slave who injured him. 1.-THE slave commits
rape upon the daughter of nonslaveholder
the Shareholder is paid for him, and the
ruined girl gets nothing; but her father is
actually taxed to pay for the black william
who has outraged his daughter If mans
own slave attemts to kill him and is convc-
ted of 1t all his neighbors. who have no
interest whatever in the affair." are taxed to
pay him for his own vicious property.

GEN. JOHN BIDWELI
Our Ticket.

We take pleasure in calling the attention OF
the voters Of Butte county TO our Ticket.
Gen. John Bidwel, our candidate for Con
gress, is emphatically man OF the people.
Thrown upon his OVID resources in early life,
be crossed the continent among the earliest
adventures and settled 10 the Sacramento
Valley. As the reward OF bis adventurous
and enterprising spirit, he is now the owner Of
o fine trac. OF land, which. by au uutiring in-
dustry, he has brought to that degree OF cul-
tivation, in which usefulness and ornament
combine 10 render the attractions OF home
pleasant to himself and agreeable 10 those who
partake of his generous hospitality. He is
indeed, one Of natures noblemen, truthful,
honest, and unassuming. As neighbor, kind
aud generous; as a citizen, enlerprising and
benevolent; as politician, patriot rather
than partizaD, with talents more remarka-
BILE for sound judgment than for dazzling bril-
liancy; with a modest, yet dignifed demeanor-
He is well qualified to represent bis constitu-
ents in the councils OF the nation.
George W. Prnty. candidate for Coroner,
is well and favorably known as former rep
resentative from this county in the legislature
His record before the people is one that does
him honor.
For Surveyor, William EdmuDds-has had
many years Of experience in the Government
service, and in his profession, enjoys the conf
deuce of those who have had the benefit of his
services.
For Supervisor of first District, our towns,
man, Mr.. Fogg is thoroughly identified with
the interests of the county, as property
holder, aud as business man possesses those
qualifications which will enable him to guard
and protect the finances of our county.
We can say of them all, they are true to the
Union, and worthy the support Of all Union
men.
