"BLoATED BoNDHoLDERs."-Wh has
become of the "bloated bnndholders 2"
We have heard nothing about them in the
Democratic prints of late, and there is dan
ger that this once familiar term will become
OBJ olete Does the "new departure" in
volve an Abandonment of that part of the
last National Democratic Platform which
declared in favor of partial reputation
of the public debt? Appearances indicate
that the Democracy are attempting to sneak
out of their disgraceful position on that
question. We hope, for the sake of our
country's good name abroad, that the party
will never again adopt that plank as an
article Of its creed The idea of repudiat
ing any portion of the nations indebted
ness will never he entertained by any true
American. 1t is an obligation that must
be held sacred, aud party whose record
is not unimpeachable en- this question can
not safely be trusted to administer the
Government.

The WORKING MANS PARTY.-The
Democratic party is emphatically the labor-
ing mans party. All Its ends and aims
are to ameliorate the condition Of the labor,
ing classes [Carquinez Enterprise.
The recent useless war which Haight
inaugurated on the workingmen of Amador
proves the truth of the above assertion.
The Governor aims along the barrel of d
musket to ameliorate the condition of the
miners. If the miners had permitted
themselves to be driven to the commission
OF some overt act the condition of several
OF them would have been efectualIy amel-
iorated. The Sutter Greek fasco, which
will cost the workingmen and taxpayers
of the State thousands of dollars was Gi-
rect blow at the laboring men. Merely at
the request of Latham, and other Demo
cratic mine owners, and without informing
himself as to the true state of affairs,
Haight ordered out the militia, and made
war upon the "laboring classes" The
Democratic party is the tyrant of labor and
the slave of capital. Alameda Gazette.

POLITICAL COMPLICATIONS AT THE
SoUTH.-A letter from Atlanta, Georgia,
says that great political change is about
to occur in that State The old line Wings
have never been content to act with the
Democracy, and have only so acted because
the Democracy was sectional party,
pledged to the inter, SITS of the South
Their long political struggl gave them an
antipathy to the very name of Democrat,
and they only temporarily conquered their
repugnance But now that the new de-
parture of the Democrats brings them upon
the ground almost identical with that of
the Republicans, the Wings feel absolved
from their allegiance. The Wings were
nearly all originally opposed to secession,
and they now attribute most Of the miseries
of the South to the Democrats. The Wing
element naturally gravitates toward the Re
publicans 1t comprises a large share of
the wealth and intelligence of Georgia,
and nearly all the Ill eral and progressive
men. If this body goes with the Re-
pubieans it will carry with it nearly all
the negro vote.
The Shasta courier., 1871-07-22

How IT WAS DoNE.-The Democratic
papers are publishing letter signed by
several Republican school teachers and
professors, endorsing the zeal and compe-
tency of the Rev. o. P Fitzgerald, State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
The history of that letter throws little
light on the character of this demagogue,
and shows him to be unprincipled and dis
honest, and therefore, unfit to be retained
III the honorable position he now occupies.
1t seems that he was guilty of the gross
indelicacy of approaching number of
Republican teachers and requesting
them to sign letter ADDRESSED TO HIM.
SELF, endorsing his administration. Pro-
lessor Bolander refused to sign it unless
the political allusons were stricken out.
He was assured they would be; and with
this assurance he affixed his signature.
Having obtained this and other signatures
by false representations, Fitz published the
letter-retaining the passages he agreed to
erase-together with his reply, as an elec
tioneering dodge for himself and the
Democratic party. The idea sought to be
conveyed is, that the letter was spontane-
GUS tribute to the competency and zeal OF
Mr.. f. Any such impression would be
false, and it is matter of great surprise
that, even. through sheer good nature, in
telligent teachers of either party-for we
are not arguing from political stand
poiut-should allow their signatures to be
attached to such letter. Alamada
Gazette

WILL Nor SUPPORT HAIGHT.-The
Sacramento Record understands that a
deputation Of the Miners League of Amador
has gone to San Francisco to confer with
the labor organizations there, with view
to the selection of another candidate for
Governor. Failing in this, it is reported
that the Miners League will support
Booth they being determined in no event
to vote or work for Haight. We presume
that this action is one of the results of the
recent disturbance at Sutter Greek, and
the course taken by the Governor in rela-
ton thereto.

As ar evidence of the effect of Demo-
cratic rule, the Marysville Appeal is au
thorzed to state that radical Democrat
OF Buckeye, Yolo county, the hot bed of
secession, proposes to stump his county in
the present campaign in behalf of the
Republican ticket. He is impelled to this
course from the fact that taxes in Yclo
county have more than trebled under a
Democratic rule, over what they were
under Republican administration. This
gentleman being man of property, he
feels the imposition and does not propose
to silently submit to it.

HON. JOHN M. COCHLAN.

This gentleman, nominated for Congress
on the Republican ticket in the First Dis
trict, is one of the rising statesmen of Cal
iforna. He is thoroughly honest and c.pa
BILE shrewd and discriminating; is an
eloquent speaker, dealing in straightfor-
ward facts and presenting them in such a
way that the conclnsio1 is irresistible in

Drury Melone, the Republican candidate
for Secretary of State, has been eighteen
years in California; born in Kentucky re-
sided several years in Missouri. Notwith-
standing his relatives and friends were of
Southern blood and sympathized with its
cause. he has always been consistent Re-
publican has resided in Santa Clara, Sac.
ramento, Yolo and San Francisco counties !;
and the best proof of his social standing is
that the delegations of those counties where
he has resided were nearly unanimous for
him in the Convention. He is polular, wide
ly known, and his character for integrity,
capacity and probity are unquestioned.-

THE Two HINGs.-The 'new depart
ure" has split the Southern Democracy
wide open; but the dirt eating capacity
of the Northern wing of the party is tre-
mendous, and they can swallow it with the
greatest facility. Governor Haight, for in
stance, can illuminate against the Fifteenth
Amendment: in ore breath and endorse it
the next with perfect ease. jeff Davis
and Alex. Stephens can't do it. The
memory.or the Lost Cause is still dear to
them; and they have not forgotten the
Resolutions f9S.-PetaIuma Journal.

Considering the momentous questions
involved iu the Washington Treaty, their
amicable and satisfactory adjustment,
when so good pretext for war existed, is
one of the greatest conquests-bloodess
though it may be-that has occurred in
modern times. When we remember the
bloody struggle that has just eliminated
in Europe, and consider what conflict
between two powerful nations like the
United States and Great Britain would
be-disastrous to both countries and to
the civilization of the world-we can better
appreciate how great are the results that
have been achieved.

WHAT DIVIDES Us Now?-The top
round of impudent complacency-the
North pole of brazen frigiGity-the super
lative balancing point where cheek plumes
itself in halo OF its own admiration and
barks in a Narcissan beautitude, has been
reached by the Democratic departurists.
One of them yesterday, in the blandest
manner possible manner which would
have made success of the real estate trans
fer which our adversary in the olden time
failed on said: Here, now, Forbes, old
fellow, you used to be Democrat; now
we've got the entire substance out of your
Republican platform, niger an all, now
why don't you come back and go with the
old party again?" The men who make that
proposition are creditable with as magnif-
cent generosity as the man who would
steal band of horses from you and then
make you proposition to go into the stock
business with him-White Pine News.

1 WAS WITH HAIGHT.
A BALLAD OF THE AMADoR WAR.

"a soldier, l." the stranger said;
Quoth the farmer, Say no more
To the brave defenders of our flag
| open wide my door,
Put down thy pack, put off thy hat,
Sit at the board with me
welcome all who've fought beneath
The Banner of the Free"
The brave sat down he ate his fill,
He quaffed the farmers cup;
The good wife smoothed. with ready will,
His bed, while he did sup.
"Now. tell Mt" said the farmer then,
Where was thy blood split out i;
At New Orleans, with Honest Ben,
With the brave Pope, at Rapidan,
Or in the Bull Run rout ~
81 had three sons with gallant Banks,
Who b; Red Rivers shore
So well maintained the Union ranks
So proud the old flag bore.
If thou can st tell thou'st had thy share
In feats of arms like these,
I'll hold thee brave beyond compare
I'll wed thee to my daughter fair
Here rest thee at thy ease"
And then the soldier proudly told
His story of the war;
How that he fought with CAzNEAU bold,
And HAIGHT, at AMAnOR.
And then the host enraged to find
He had 4 LUNCH FIEND there,
With foot and fist propelled his guest
Out to the open air.

Nor TO BE TRUsTED.-There is abundant
evidence that the Democratic leaders are in
sincere in the 'snew departure" business
but granting that they mean what they say,
intelligent Republicans will prefer that the
principles of their party should be carried
out by their originators and not by those
who fought against them as long as the people
would tolerate opposition. The Republican
party has lifted the nation up from slavery
to freedom, and has armed every citizen
with the ballot-a weapon more potent for
self defence than the sword. The good and
true men who aided in the accomplishment
of this grand achievement will see TO it that
the same party is permitted to enforce these
principles, and carry them to their legitimate
Observation-Disclosures Argus.

ALWAYS WRoNG-During the ten

saws:
We are pleased to see that one of our great
political parties has prominently set fourth
the principle. that, as ''the safety and per.
petuity of republican institutions depend
mainly on popular education and intell.
gence." therefore recommend common
school system which shall be compulsory on
all-that is, as we understand it, that if
children are left to neglect and ruin by any
or all of the educational institutions, there
shall be power to compel attendance in the
schools established by the State and sup
ported by the people. This we consider a
wise and wholesome provision of law, and
we look upon it as. in great measure, an
act of selfeefence on the part of the people,
.for 4 Is much less expensive for the State to
educate children than to maintain and re-
strain its criminals. Whatever party may
come into power in the next Legislature, We
hope there will be sufficient enlghtment and
philanthropy within it to place on the statute
book such a law as we have alluded to abo, 9
and which we have heretofore had frequent
occasion to recommend.
