Resolution lie represented luba county. lie only

laying these reasonable resolutions on the ta-
BILE, is the same individual now running on the
Democratic ticket for Clerk of the Supreme
Court. lie is one the high old chvs who, in

WHO OUGHT TO GO TO THE LEGIsLA.
TURE!

The Democratic ring making their princi-
pal fight for the Legislative Offices. Here is
where their candidates stand First, they be-
long to the chivalry wing of the Democracy. No
Union man can consistently vote for them. Mr..
McMurrv, for Senator, has no claim to the suf
frages of this county because of any services he
rendered them in the last Legislature On the
contrary, he was unable or neglected 10 ad-
vance their interests. In the next place, he is
not qualified to fill such exalted positiau. To
make an efficient and qualified Senator requires
more intellect and requirements than ne possess
es His best friends well know that in this res.
pect there is no comparison betwixt him and
Stratton. Their feeble praise is q strong argu-
ment against his fitness. Mr.. Tinnn is also OBJ
jectionabe because he cannot be considered AS
belonging to this county. 1t is so well known
that it cannot be denied that all his interests are
elsewhere. 1t would be IL sort of glorious exit
from this county to leave it finally as its repre-
sentative in the next Legislature. There has
been too much Of this sort of carpel-baggng
from this county already and it is about time
the people were on their guard agains. it. Moth
ing is more certain than that Tiunin, whether
elected or defeated will shortly sever all rela-
tions with Trinity county, aside from the coll
lection of the debts still due him and the 6rm of
Tinnin & Owens. Now, Mr.. Ewing occupies ex-
actly the opposite position. He is bona .fde
resident and has all his property here. He can
oe relied upon to look after our interests. OF
Mr.. Ewing's qualifications there can be no doubt.
man who manages his own affairs well can al
ways be relied upon TO attend to those of the
people if he tries TO do so. Mr.. Ewing has the
endorsement of his friends and neighbors an
honest, well-informed and practical man. Tie
votes from Hay Fork will say so.

LASPEYRE's SPEECH.

Hon. Thomas Laspeyre, Democratic nominee
for Supreme Court Clerk, was among his constit
uents in this county last week, and spoke in
Weaverville on Friday night His speech was a
regular sing-song, prosy Democratic argument,
not suited to this latitude. For instance, in the
very outset, the speaker referred to the time
when the Republicans obtained control of the
State Government, as period of temporary in
sanity on the part of the people. Casting our
eyes around, we could several of the men,
hers Of the party who were bereft of their reason
during the war, according to LAspeyre, includ-
ing the venerable chairman of the meeting.
Everybody knows that Laspeyre was secession
list, and we respect him for this manly avowal of
his sentiments. We like to have such men come
around once in a while, preaching the true Dem
ocratic doctrine. 1t always make the dough-
face wing Of the Democracy squirm, and we like
TO see them squrm. In his statements of facts
and figures, Laspeyre was very reckless, stating
among other things that the Democracy Of this
State had passed an eght-hour law to take et-
feet whenever Massachusetts should do the same
thing, and that whenever the latter State should
GRAFTON here. Anyone can see the absurdity of
this proposition. In another instance. the
speaker in comparing the amount of revenue lev
led and the amount collected uuder Grant, dur.
ing the year, ouly missed the truth eighty-three
millions and few hundred thousand dollars.
The Democratic style of arguing adopted this
year reminds US of an incident that took place in
this town a few years ago When Andrew John
son started in to "swing around the circle" be
was accompanied by several in this county who
were the most blatant on the Union side down to
that time. When Andy went back on the party
they went back, and like him they landed plump
into the folds Of Democracy, and have remained
there ever since One day we heard one of these
recreant Union-savers defending johnson and
pitching into the Radical Congress. After soar
ing high into the regions of inyective, he closed
with the following magnificent peroration refer
ring to Congress Why says he, " They We
upsot the Christian religion" We had been
getting angry before, hut left in good humor.

HAIGHT' s ELDER BRETHRER. The AAd of Au.
gust 29th contains long report of the proceed.
ings Of a monster mass meeting held at San
Francisco on the evening Of the 29th Alex
anter Campbell was the first speaker introduced,
aod made a thrilling appeal TO the people in be-
half Of Newton Booth and the Republican par
~. We make the following extract from his
address for the benefit of our readers:
In January, 1853, at the conclusion of lee
ture on China, delivered in this city by the Rev.
Mr.. SPeer, II. II. Haight offered a set of resou-
tionS, which were unanimously adopted by a
Large aud influential meeting. Here are two of
them;
Resolved, That the present position of The Or-
enta. nations is fraught with the most profound
interests TO the Christian world, and that we, as
citizens OF California, placed by the wonderful
leadings OF Providence so Immediately 10 CON
tact with the most ancient, intelligent and popu-
lous Of these nations, hail, with peculiar salts
faction, the " sign Of the times - and that we
see an imperative Obligation to employ our mon
ey, our influence, and utmost efforts for the wei
fare OF that vast portion Of the human family
our elder bretbren-the people Of China
Resot0ed, That we regard with pleasure the
presence Of great numbers of these people among
Us AS afording thee best opportunity of doing
them good, and, through them, of exerting our
influence upon their Dative land.
In 1853, Senator Hager, Democrat, intro
duced 4 resolution in the Legislature to recon-
slider resolution which had been voted down,
providing for The encouragement Of Chinese i'm
N grafton to California; which was adopted The
Democrats spent their time and used their best
talent to bring The Chinese here, and they now
find fault with the Republicans because they
don't kick them out. am opposed to the Chi
nese they are in nay way, they are in your way,
bat the Democratic party don't want to get rid
OF them. Ifthey we're anxious to see them out
Of the State, so many of them you'd not be en-
ployed, Why is it tha! not a single Chinaman
is idle, while large number Of white men are
unemployed? There is a cure for dis aud ey-
cry wOFkingpan Scan belp to accomplish it,
Give them no WORK, and starve them out.
The speaker, referring to Sunset Cox and his
mission here, said be was seat from Ohio 10

LAST WoRD. The entire Democratic ticket
was put up by clique in the interest of Tinnin
and McMurry. Aside from these two men, the
ring don't care a cOntinc tai copper. We are
Informed from all parts how things are going.
The ring, having been successful so far, will
play its last card on election day. Their adhe-
rents will be found ready to trade every thing for
Tinnin and McMurry. Republicans, don't listen
to propositions to trade legislative nominees.
Let the truth be known. We want to see who
belongs to the ring and who don't.

Hon. L. J. LEWIS, the Democratic candidate
Legislature of this State, regarding the pay Of
certain attaches of that body, said ~ don't

ing men, and propose we pay them certain
amount By the day and let it go at that" This
is about the average intellect of the candidates
on the Democratic ticket judging from Laspeyre
and Pearce, whom We have heard expose their
ignorance. How can intelligent voters support
such "ignoramuses? 2"

No REDUCTION OF TAXATION The following
extract from the San Francisco Bulletin, of Au-
gust 2slh, is founded upon facts and figures
WHICH cannot be denied, and shows conclusively
that the claims of Governor Haight and his
friends that they had reduced the State expenses
/ and taxes is all sham:
Tax for funded debt of 1857 was fixed by act
of April 2Sth, 1857, Mt 30 cents on each SlOO.
and the faith Of the State pledged to its coninu.
ance at that rate until the bonds were paid
Reduced to lac. (sec Stat. ls69-7O, D. 3I9
Tax for payment of Soldiers Bounty bonds for
the continuance of which the faith of the State
was pledged, reduced from IL to cents fSee
Stat. l869-70, p. 3l8.
The tax of cent each S 100 for " Relief of
Line Officers of California Volunteers - and tax
of cents on each $500 for erection of additional
buildings at the Insane Asylum, expired by limi-
tation contained in The acts authorizing their
levy, with the year 1867. So that there Inns re-
ally been an increase of % cents on each $l0O of
taxable property, for the expenses of the State
Government, Instead OF reduction OF 2GJ cents,
as will be seen by the following:
Tax in 1867 on each 800 .. 81 10
Tax in 1871 each 500 .......... Sfl5c
Reduction in tax for funded debt Of ls57. Is
Reduction in tax for Bounty Bonds. 10
Relief of Line Officers (expred by llmta-
Additional building. at Insane Asylum Tex.
pired by Imitation ............. 81 l515
In the meantime the taxable property of the
State has increased from $2ll ,00O, 900 to over
$500, 900, 900.
From the above it will be seen that while the
taxable property in the State increased 234 per
cent. during llaight's administration the rate Of
taxation also increased p cents on the $lOO
valuations. Further comment is unnecessary,
rs figures never lie and facts stated show for
themselves

CAN'T Match HiM-Stratton spoke at North
Fork Thursday night. One who was there tells
us that while making telling speech, S,ratton

crat. Jim Tnnin being present, was called upon
for speech and, acting upon the old maxim
that "a desperate case requires desperate
means responded with raking down " of
Stratton. Stratton took the floor again and be-
fore he quit annihilated the member from Santa
Rosa, leaving nothing but grease spot to indi-
cate where he stood while undergoing martyrdom.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR.

c. NJ. Stratton, Esq. returned from Shasta
last week and opened the canvass in this county
by speech at Douglas City. We have been in
formed all along that Mr.. Stratton was making
an excellent impression in Shasta county, and
his arrival here was much desired, that we might
hear him and judge for ourselves, To say that
he realizes the antcipatons Of his friends, would
not be correct. We have never witnessed as
much enthusiasm in behalf of any man in this
county as was exhibited by the crowd at Doug
las City after Mr.. Stratton had concluded Then
and there Stratton established n standing as a
forcibe, effective and gentemanly speaker, Of
which his friends are justly proud, and far above
the expectations of the most sanguine. He spoke
at Junction City last Monday with the same re-
suit. Republicans are more than satisfied
they delighted with him The general YER
diet is that Siratton makes the best argument
on the Republican side delivered in this county
during the present canvass Had he and his op.
ponent stumped Trinity county together, the
Indian Creek champion would have left McMur-
ry so far behind that he never would have been
heard of again, politically, in this section

GEORGE PEARcE, the Democratic nominee for
Congressman from this District, is the man who

the Declaration of Independence that said that
men had "certain inalienable rights among
which were life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness." Pearce didn't know which document
contained this clause, and yet he wants the in
telligent people of this section TO send him to
Congress. We will-tn a horn

1t is suggested that the reason Democratic pa

cret Service Fund is not all used up, that his lit

THE Sacramento Union figures it that Coghlan
majority in this District will be larger than
Johnson's majority either in 1867 or 1863 In
1867 Johnson had 373 majority, In 1868, run
ing against the same opponent, this majority
dwindled down to 264, notwithstanding an in
creased vote of 2, SO, the Demcratic majority
was lO3 less. This year the Democratic ma or
ity will oe over 700 less, as Coghlan will have a
