GRAFTON AT THE TIN SHOP.

Time vening of the 4th. audience
George Joe, Miss Lucy and Miss Snow
and the orator, who fodndered along as fol-
lows:
My NEAR AND DEAR TRIENDs-irespective
of color or beauty-No one else of our little
group having the required impudencea to
undertake this Grafton job, | hereby under
take it myself, and | undertake it in the
spirit, and after the manner of o,,r ancestry,
who, near hundred years ago, had the ef-
frontery to insult the English Government,
and even went so far as to subject them
selves TO acts of treason. They placed
themselves "a condition in which they had
to fight or be quarterd, hung, or killed some
other way. They preferred to fight, as that
was the only way they had to win the game /;
and they fought near eight years The
game they fought for was a government of
their own, and considerable amount of
land with the improvements, and they won.
They afterwaid talked argreat deal about it,
and their descendants have been making
quite a noise over it ever since. ButI tell
you, and | tell y}ou with fear and tren nbling,
that if they had lost their Pedro, the
chances are that King George would have
made it very hot Tor some of them. Wash
ington, however, as good lick would have
it, got in his GIVE spot" at Yorktowp-set
Cornwallace back, AID got away with the
belt. Three cheers for Gen. Washington
The ancestral families had, thereafter,
things their own way, and they got along
very we'll for awhile, but in 1872 they took
it into their heads to have another .tourna-
ment with the British hosts over the i'm
press Of seamen, and to war they went,
fighting on land and fighting On Sea, and
this episode they finally finished with clap
of thunder, Gen. Jackson and cotton bales
at New Orleans. Hurrah for Gen. Jack
sonl
In 1S46 the Greasers made Gen. Taylor
mad, and he and Gen. Scott went through
them like two large elephants through
smalI-sized cabbagc-patch. We won Cali
fornia by that game, and that is the way
we happened to be here. We found gold
when we first came, but we don't find as
much now as we used to- In fact, it ap-
pears to be getting shorter since the raid on
Worsleys toll gate.
After the war with Britain and Mexico,
and little disturbance in Algiers, and hav-
ing plenty of money at the time, and no
outsider to rope in, we kicked up row
amongst ourselves. The result Of this fam
lily collision was, that after good deal of
iuss and bad feeling, the matter was hushed
up as quietly as it we'll could be under the
circumstances. and probably in the only way
it could be wound up, after proceeding as
far as it did, and that was, simply. by one
The Placer herald., 1873-07-12

But, say some Of you, there are break
ers ahead. That the extravaganza in our
government, both local and national; that the
constant exposure of speculation in office.
from the highest to the lowest, warns us that
there is danger in the future; that the perpe-
tuity Of our liberties and Of our. nation is
menaced; that unless we soon have a refor-
nation in our pol 'cy as people and ma
ton, America, as a Republic and as liber-
ty's highest temple Of worship, will be num-
bered among the things of the past; that
the privileges and blessings we enjoy can
not be perpetuated. With you as 'inaividu-
ais; as fathers and mothers; as brothers and
sisters; as freemen and patriots, lies the rem
edy. BY and through you, and you alone,
can come this reformation.
The source Of our Government 10 the
people, for in the language of our immortal
Declaration of Independence, Governments
instituted among men, derive their just pow
ers from the consent of the governed. d"
Therefore, extravaganza in the people, in
their daily walks of life, finds its reflection
and generates extravagance in the govern
ment.
Peculation and dishonesty In business
among the people, brings as its fruits,
peculation and dishonesty III the affairs of
Government The stream can raise no
higher than its source. If we SOW the
wind, we shall reap the whirlwnd. Where
can you find one, who never was educated
and reared in strict economy and honesty,
in private and business life, that will carry
out or transact any business, either for
himself or for others, in accordance with
those principles. r...
Our officers come from the body of the
people, and if they are not reared and edu-
Gated in virtue and integrity, how can you
expect their actions as officers, will be other
than in accordance with rules and principles
instilled in their minds in early life. Then let
us, as private citizens, begin the work o.
reformation at the source; tet us do our
duty, by the rising generation, as citizens
of America; let us discharge the debt we
owe to the founders of our government fol
giving us the blessings we now enjoy: lie,
us strive to carry out the ends, the objects
had in view 10y them, when they freely
laid upon the altar of their country, all that
was dear in life to them, that you and ],
and all coming generations might be free
and equal before the law, and enjoy the
blessings of liberty. Then, when our last
hour in life shall have come, when we shall
be required to resign into the hands and
keeping of this rising generatiuo, the safety
and PERI etuity Of our Nation, the Liberties
Of our people, we can quietly, peacefully,
deliver ourselves into the embrace of death
feeling That this is truly "a government Of
the people, by the people, and for the peo-
pie" and that in the long ages to come, ii
shall not utterly perish from off the earth.
