po' Wv y, Radical meeting at Dutch Flat
evening % called Honorable! ]. P. Jones,
w O!y,J;Jate @ on the Gorham ticket for Lieut..
'ca"" C"".rnor. This little bundle OF ignorance
oo.I' ''.l,ad the intelligence Of his audience,
'''':' ';"h was largely Democratic, by delivering
'!.",f "u'o" of one of the most disgusting and
e',h'' e'.hw Trades Of abuse and blackguardsm
n's1y ~ .ver was allowed to po|lute the free air
'1T' en.oyan. Jones' whole effort was tissue
~ ~ fslsehoods and misrepresentation, not
.: mun;fed bv even decent delivery or good
iasruaae The tendency Of bis whole re-
mssks S was, that all democrats, particularly
-ar democrats, were traitors, thieves and
'.ar,drels: "a and not to be trusted even in the
soO ~Os, ordinary affairs of life. He did not at
au, ,amnt to argue single issue now before the

P',fh P", fhowled about the war and what we had
''' ask this bloody JacoLn what he has
ever done in defence OF the liberties OF nls
c,S country and if, while he was enjoying the
swee,s Of home and the emoluments OF Of
sos there was not thousands Of democrats
NV, .Ss,,oh;nc to the front and laying down their
,n" ';"as in defence Of the country? ask him,
# il does not bring tinge Of shame to bis
cheek when he SO denounces party of whlch
he has been a member, and received at their
hands Offices of profit and trust?
Every decent respectable Radical should
feel ashamed of Jones. lie is in no way
fitted to become Lieutenant Governor OF a
GREAT State like California. He even makes
ihe blackpuardism Of Gorham respectable,
bv the brutal coarseness of his own slang.
California will be forever disgraced if Cor
ham and Jones should succeed. She Will
have brace of blackguards for her cblef
officers. congratulate the democracy that
they have purged themselves of al such men
as Gorham, Jones, Parks & Co. They are
detrment and disgrace to any cause or
party.
The principal feature in Jones' speech,
aside from bis indecent language, as con-
tnued effort to keep his breeches on. lie
was continually clutching at bis unmention'
ables. Iwould suggest to his Central Com.
miltee the propriety Of purchasing him
pair of suspenders, or what would be better
for them, to suspend him entirely from fur
ther service, for he is disgusting all decent
men by bis maudlin harangues and untruth-
full assertions.
Gov Woods next took the stand. The
speech of this gentleman, as compared With
that Of Jones', was dignfied and refined; al
though look upon his effort as piece OF
special pleading, presented as any other law
yer would, who knew lie was laboring in
bad and hopeless cause. Yet it is such men
as Wood that the democracy have the most
cause to fear His genllemanly bearing has
a tendency to make friends, when such men
as Jones and Gorhain only drive the people
away from them.
Low flung ribadry, and abuse Of the oppo'
site party, so often INDUCED in by speakers,
is out Of place and better suited to clown
in the ring than an orator addressing himself
to intelligent, decent men. And all such
speakers no matter 10 what party they be-
long, when they go far forget themselves and
what is due to their auditors, as TO launch
forth into unlrulhhl, indecent blackguardism
should be summarily elected from the stands
theyso disgrace. admit that such course
would be hard upon Gorbam and his party;
yet it is lamentable state of affairs when
such men as Gorham, Parks, Jones, and
Mccarthy, foist themselves upon the people,
and take possession Of political organiza-
ton 70 The exclusion of men Of decency,
sense and integrity. 1t argues lily for
party claiming to be par excellence party OF
progressive ideas and high moral sentiments.
Their torchlight procession numbered 2os
men, boys and niggers-sx congo niggers
being included 10 this number. The meet
ing, considering that Crocker gave them a
free train from Cisco down, aud Auburn up,
was miserable failure, both in point Of
numbers and enthusiasm. There we're plen'
ty Of democrats present, and l believe had
we taken vote Gf they had excluded the
uiggers,) Hsght would have had very nearly
majority.
G. j. Brown-this bloodless hero of
female battle, takes Old Guard to task in re-
gard 10 what lie should have said In bis
Gold Run speech. and dates his letter from
Gold Run, thinks TO make some one believe
that he had enlisted champion in his cause
in this village. l do not propose TO answer
anything in bis letter, nor even to take the
preferred wager that Brown will be the next
Supreme Judge OF the high court OF Dutch
Flat" All have to say is this: if he is,
then I am badly deceived in the intelligence
OF our people.
The ladies of Gold Run gave Festival
for the benefit Of Mr.. Cool, the Methodist
Minister Of Dutch Flat, on Saturday evening,
and it was perfect sucsess. The people
turned out handsomely and paid in their
money literally. The gross proceeds a.
mounted to $l8s. Mr.. Cool is gentleman
OF fine talent, and what is better, christian.
lie attends 10 the sacred duties of his pro
'isssion, escbewiug all political parties, and
laboIlng for the good Of society. He is al
most an invalid. being crippled by rheu.
matte affection in one leg, which compels
MN to 60 upon crutches. We hope to see
DIS speedy recovery, as a man Of his iuhu-
ence and usefulness should have all his facu.
ties about him and in order. We are div'
ded in political matters here, but when it
comes to dOinO anvthinc of this nature
