CANPAIGN.-Th candidates are all in the
field, the platforms are before the people, the
game is made, and the campaign ball will
be opened on the Union side on the first of
September. Hon. c. B. Denio and Calvin
Edgerton, Esq, have been selected to open
the campaign in this county. and may be ex-
pected here during the second week of Sep
tember. MIR. DEMO is an able man, was a
personal friend of Abraham Lincoln during his
lifetime, and is thoroughly devoted to Union
principles. He was discharged from his po-
sition as Superintendent of the Government
Works at the Marc Island Navy Yard few
weeks ago, because he had previously de.
pounced the course of Andrew johnson, and
avowed his determination to advocate the
election of Grant and Colfax. Edgerton is n
brother of Hon. Henry Edgerton, and is said
to be an eloquent and effective speaker.

A NICE MAN.-Once upon a time John
SWEET, then at the head of school affairs in
this State, was reported to have drank q
glass of wine. while on tour through the
northern portion of California, whereupon
the rebel press set up fearful howl of
condemnation. But SWEET is not q Metho-
dist preacher. Here is what the Paiaronian
says of preacher of the Methodist Church
South:
In this town whisky has got the inside
track, and every good man should use his
utmost endeavors to induce men to become
temperate. Many family in this place
feels the curse of whisky. and we are not
surprised that such is the case from the
number of whisky mills along each side of
Main street. Rev. o. P. Fitzgerald, State
Superintendent of Public Instruction. came
here last week to the Teachers Institute.
The next day after his arrival he went into
certain rum-hole in this town with a
crowd of men and with them drank at the
bari This for Methodist minister, and
man who holds the position he does in our
educational department, is enough to pro.
yoke the contempt of every decent man. We
do mot care whether Fitzgerald guzzles
whisky at home or not, but considering the
hold whisky has on this town at present, we
decidedly object to his coming to Watsonville
and taking it publicly, with crowd, in
rum mill.

INoossIsIENr.-The Democratic leaders in
the North are laboring very hard to, prove
that Seymour favored vigorous prosecution
of the war FOR the Union. On the other hand,
the Democrats of the South proclaim that he
was opposed to the war. In speech at
Louisville, Kentucky, few days ago, Garret
Davis said of Seymour:
He never gave any aid or support to the
Government in prosecuting the war, when it
could be avoided. True. be sent troops to
Pennsylvania in 1868, but it was because he
was unable to do otherwise. He was forced
to send out soldiers by the Government, but
his sympathies were with the South
The Southern Democrats are correct
Seymour never aided the Government when
he could avoid it, and his sympathies were
always with the rebels.

CoNFERENcE.-General Rosecrans and a
number of ex-rebel Generals have held a
conference at Sulphur Springs. Va, and it
is thought the latter will issue an address to
the Southern people, with view to quietng
the revolutionary spirit which has manifested
itself SO openly since the nominotion of Sey-
mour and Blair. 1t is evident that the se-
cession supporters of Seymour in the South
contemplate carrying the reconstructed States
for their candidate by intimidation and vio-
lence, or, if prevented from carrying out that
programme, that they will resort to armed
resistance to the laws in order to prevent an
election in those States. Therefore, in order
to prevent, if possible, war in the South,
cartain ex-rebel Generals are called upon to
use their influence in the interests of peace.

REPUDIATED.--A we'll known and life long
Democrat of this county, in the course of a
conversation With us on Monday, stated that
it. was his deliberate intention not to vote for
seymour and Blair. We replied that he
would perhaps come to different conclusion
before election day. He replied that his
mind was fully made up, and that he had
arrived-at this conclusion after mature re-
Election. Said he: Seymour and Blair
were not the choice of any respectable num-
Der of the Democratic party, and they only
obtained the nomination by thwarting the
expressed will of at least two thirds of the
party. In order to do this they resorted to
low wire pulling, fraud and bribery, as
honestly believe. Seymour, Belmont, and
their clique of professional political specula-
tors ruled the Convention, and the voice of
the people was smothered under their fraud
and gold. To support him would be direc,
bid for similar frauds in future, and, for one,
I'm for nipping the curse in the bud, and
showing wire-pullers that they cannot drive
the people to do anything which their .judg-
Tent condemns. In this opinion and deter
mination I'm not alone, but several of my
neighbors also believe that endorsing wrong
and fraud will never vindicate the right.
No, sir; Seymour and Blair will not get my
my vete." We will add that this man is
gentleman of intelligence, and his support
would be an honor to any party.

Antiquity of Brandreth,s pills.

Age is not claimed as a merit, only as sign of
intrinsic worth.
The really useful article lives on with strong
vitality; the poor one languishes for a time and
then goes out easily.
bRASDRErH's PILLS are even prescribed by great
physicians when the bowels call loudly for help,
because they never fail to open and give relief.
Hundreds of thousands would consider it a ca

BRAsDRErH's PILLS are sold than all other pills
put together. Merit sells them.

by peace Democrat of that county. The
writer objects to Axtells recent letter, SAYS
he is one of the "curs" alluded to, and that
the class of men SO denominated by the Con-

Facts for Irishmen.

How lrishmen can support the Democratic
ticket is more than we can understand. No
one dare dispute the facts that Seymour and
his " friends" murdered Col. o'Brien and
other Irishmsn in the streets.of the city of
New York, and that Blair desired Irishmen
to leave the country and never return. But
here is another fact, clipped from the Nevada
Transcript, which we wish Irishmen to read:
August Belmont, the Chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee, was the lead.
ing spirit in securing the nomination of Sew
mour. In 1865 the Fenians purchased some
drafts from Belmont upon the Rothschilds,
and tbe first sent we're seized by the British
authorities. Duplicates were sent and Roths-
chllds refused to pay them, and they were of
course returned to New York and presented
to Belmont for payment. He refused, stat
ing that the money was for an illegal pur-
pose, and he was acting in behalf of the
British government. The Fenians of course
never got their money back. Now n this
may have been true, but why did not Bel
mont announce that he was agent Of the
British government before he had twice sent
the drafts to be cashed2 Was it honest for
the agent of the British go-ernnent first to
attempt to play the scoundrel by sending
money to be used against the party for whom
he was acting, and failing in that to victim
ize the Fenians who had innocently trusted
to his honesty? Belmont for five years past
has been the leading manager of the Demo
cratic party, and has had all and will have
great influence in shaping its policy. How
is it possible for Irishmea to consistently
support such party?
A large part of the Irish vote (says the
Sacramento Recordl has heretofore been cast
with the Democratic party. but such facts as
the above coming to light are having tell
ing effect upon Irishmen, who, in every city
and State in the Union, are now joining the
Grant and Colfax Clubs. Leading Fenians
in the East are arraying themselves against
the counterfeit Democracy, and it is we'll
known that Col. Walsh and other prominent
Fenians on this coast are warm in their ad-
voeacy of Grant and Colfax.

GENTLEMEN: The watches manufactured by you
have been in this railroad for several years
by our enginemes, to whom we furnish watches as

of acknowledged good reputation, but a class
they never kept time correctly, nor have they
done as good service as yours.
