WEsTNoRELASD IN HIS OWN DISTRICT
The Marysville Appeal speaks in the fol-
lowing just terms Of Mr.. Westmereland and
his claims and chances Tor q nomination to
Congress from that District Of California
We have heretofore expressed plainly the
opinion that Hon. Charles WestmOreland, Of
Humboldt county, should be nominated for
Congress by the Republican Union party Of
the Third Congressional District. In this
expression we were governed, as We hope to
be ALWAYS under similar circumstances, by a
sincere desire to promote the welfare OF the
Union party, and uphold the great principles
Of right and justice. Mr.. Westmoreland
the State BY his bold. unshrinking and I'M
selfish defense of the Union sentiment OF the
loyal people during the late years Of terrible
strife. As a journalist, his influence Is yet
felt everywhere. Always bold for the night,
and foremost in the fray, he won reputa-
ton hardly to be enhanced by any nomina-
ton or office that his friends may bestow.
Westmoreland has pluck and backbone.
He always expresses what he thinks add be-
lieves to be right. We want no time-server
placed in this pesition-no arologist for the
faith he teaches. This is no time for pal
terers. Mr.. Westmoreland holds a leading
position in his profession, to the discharge
of the duties of which he brings the same in
tegrity, knowledge and zeal that he has so
clearly erinced as journalist aad legislator.
He is of popular address, and is the best
stump speaker in the District, if not in the
State. Under his handling, Copperheadism
partakes Of the scanty proportions that prop
erly belong to it. That he is the choice OF
the Union men Of the District hardly admits
of doubt, and if he is nominated there can
be no doubt but that he will sweep the Dis |
trict, and swell up majority that will teach |
that We propose to camp on the
battle ground where our victories have been
won. Mr.. Westmoreland belongs to no fac
ton Of the Union party, but to the entire |
He is therefore accedtable to
all. having never impaired his justly earned
influence by any factonal strife. With all
Union men he stands fair, and consequently
Iisliked and feared by all the chivalry and
ioushfaced Copperheads.

FIRE AT MEADOW LAKE.-The Nevada
Transcript OF the 2Sth ult. has the following:
On Thursday hight a fire occurred at Mea-
dow Lake by which the Lake House and
Harry Reilinger's cigar store, adjoining it
were totally destroyed. The hotel cost about
five or six thousand dollars. The cigar store
was insured. The fire originated in the Lake
House aad is supposed to have been the
work OF an incendiary. Since the above
was written letter from J. Figuiere has
como to hand. from which we obtain the
following This morning friday, at half
past o'clock the Lake House, corner of B
and Second streets was discovered to be on
fire. This building, with the adjoining one,
occupied as cigar store and dwelling BY
Henry Reilinger, was entirely destroyed.
Mr.. Il. has a wife and two children, aud
they lost everything, including stock of

The New MILITARY DEPART
MENTs.- The telegraph brings the
order Of the secretary of war rear
ranging the military districts and
departments, by which it appears
that General Rousseau will com
mand Louisiana and Arkansas ;
General Meade, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
and Florida; General Gillem,
Mississippi; General Reynolds,
Texas; General Candy the depart
ment of Washington, and General
Crooke the department. of Column
bia, in place Of General Rousseau.
General Hatch relieves General
Buchanan as assistant commits
sioner Of the freedmen's bureau in
Louisiana. The assignment of
General Rousseau to this depart
ment is one that will prove accep-
table to our people. They have
reason to feIicitate themselves,
while parting with a commander
and a staff SO highly appreciated
as General Buchanan and the Off
GERS surrounding him, that they
are to have amongst them as COM
mander of the new department,
one having such claims upon their
respect and confidence as General
Rousseau.-N 0. Crescent.

TO THE DEMOCRACY OF
CALCASTEU.
FELLOW CITIZENS

h4hOW OIIlhEhS @
For eight years the Radical Party has
controlled the affairs of our nation. For
eight years it has enjoyed and directed
the immense power and patronage of
the government, in it's domestic and
foreign policy. 1t has had long and a
fair trial, and the result is seen and felt
to-day in every American household. It
has literally swept the country with fire
and sword. It has subjected ten States
OF the Union to the iron rule of military
despOtism during three years of pro-
found peace. It has destroyed the free
dom OF the press, and has shamelessly
violated the most sacred rights of per-
son and property. 1t has swelled the
national debt to over two thousand mil
hons OF dollars, and has laid upon the
SHOULDERS Of the people burdens Of tax
alton heavier than they can bear It has
banished gold and silver from the coun-
try, and substituted therefor an ire
deemable and constantly deprecated
paper currency. It has Ovearun the land
with swarms Of hungry and useless Off
Gals, whose sole duty and delight is to
plumber an already ruined people. IL
laughs at the Constitution of the United
States, and has made American liberty
o Kissing and a by-word among the ma
tions. S.'-
From this accumulated and crushing
weight OF evils there is one, and but
one, way Of escape; and that is to be
found In the restoration to power of that
political party which has gone forth. |
with Seymour and Blair as its standard
bearers to battle for the Constitution
and the Union. Throughout the LENGTH
and breadth of our once happy and
prosperous country the nomination az |
s 9 men by the Democratic National |
convention has sent thrill of hope and |
exultation and pride. A blaze Of enEhu-
'lasm lllumines the entire country. All |
VINO love liberty, and who hope to per-
9etHatte- It III America, are ffocfkinp In I
5he Democratic standard, Old political |
oreludlces are forgotten in the patriotic
teslre to save the life Of the nation.
Fellow citizens, we owe it to America

How much longer viii our Town
