LETTER FROM CARSON.
CARSON CITY. Aug. IA, 1876.
EDITORS SENTINEL: The record that
the Republican party has already
made for itself is scarcely less infa-
o than is the present persistent
course of its leaders in pursuing their
| efforts to destroy common sense by tho
creation Of an additional load of preju-
! dice upon tho mind where common
sense should be taught to remain. 1t
does seem as though those heartless
| political Satanists are becoming SO de-
PRAYED that should they totally wreck
the Government they have 80 terribly
scariied, and destroy the liberties Of
every citizen thereof, their political de-
pravity would not permit . sign Of
sorrow or ono Of repentance. You, rs
othcrs, have noticed the Republican
papers OF this State, from the largest
down to the most pitiful thumb paper,
| practicing the spreading OF prejudice.
The party being entirely void Of virtue
| or soil upon which the seeds Of virtue
DO prohtably sown. the leaders
and managers Of it do vilely sock every
| subterfuge within reach to divert at
tention from their own misery .prOduc-
ing conduct. Such subterfuges is on
Meeting tho name of Tilden with those
| names and figures "Tiiden and Tweed"
"Tiiden with Morrisscy," "1Yldsn in
| 1854" There is nothing in all this
kind of stuff that interests common
| sense, which wants and need some
thing more tangible, something
beneficial. These papers can not re-
Ter to the situation of the humble Ia
| borer unIess with the endeayor to de-
ceive and miSlead. That the Demo-
cratic party has always fostercd labor,
ard shatsh.e Republican party has ten
ded to PROSTATE 1t. arerfacts we'll known
to every intelligent editor Of Nevada.
The main reason why the Democracy
has ever ard so constantly gave its
strength in support Of labor, is that
since the day OF the Declaration of In
dependence they have regarded labor
a. the base upon which tho life
and prosperity OF the Republic rests,
and when ven opportunity offered
never failed to give proof of that esti-
mate. 1t would he interesting if these
Republican papers wonla give the rec
| ord Of this California Democracy upon
tho labor question from 1919 10 1860.
This record t%ruthfully given to tho
| people of this section vt this time
would certainly be interesting ana re-
! mind many OF the old Pacific coasters
| OF the good old days Of Democratic
| rule under which tho laborers were
truly tho lord. of the land, though it
| would have bad effect upon the Re.
| publican ballot, as every laborcr who
| would read could see his friend, and
tho moro constant tho look Mt tho
friend the clearer tho view Of Detnoc.
rAcy. The Democracy gave US the
coast with its mountains, plains and
gulches, for tho benefit of labor.
1t gave California . wise State govern
ment with a constitution that prohibited
every character OF slavery from com
| ing in contact with free American labor,
| guarding labor from OWLS that might
| rise from merciless corporations or
speculative capital In aggregated forms.
The exertiens of Democracy in the in
terest OF the people and their humble
labor kept of Congressional interfer-
ence with the mineral lands of Cali.
fOrnla, that the American laborer, ma
tive and foreign born, could " and
work tho mines without price, tax or
| hindrance OF Federal or State officials;
to establish their own boundaries Of
their mining districts; make their own
laws to regulate and govern each other
in their privileges and rights, and their
laws Recognized in all the Courts OF
Justice as among the governing laws
| Of the State, and laws that settled all
were appealed to. Then it was that
the laborer with tho pick, the scalpel,
or any instrument, professional or
otherwise, dwelt harmoniously, indie
pendently and equally together under
a Democratic reign of peace; and all
with \ voice free to speak-the people
governed; the people were the masters;
the officers under and OF the law were
tho servants. No inferior race was
then permitted 10 encroach upon and
ruthlessly trample under foot the
American laborer, a now under Re-
publican power. AS the gate to our
shores could not be legally closed to
tho Chinese, the Democracy, ever
watchful of the interest of the people,
did all in their lawful power that
seemed calculated to check any injury
that might follow their coming, and
the levying of a heavy license upon
the Chinese miner appeared at that
Gate sufficiently powerful to reach the
object. A search over the track OF
havoc, made by the Republican party
an act will not be found that has not
ope rated injuriously to the welfare OF
the humble laborer and in favor of ty-
~rannical monopolists. And now they
the Republican party, open their am
paign with a promise to investigate the
Chinese question. Such nonsense fol
an attempt to deceive an Intelligent
class Of voters who are unable to await
the uncertain result of such proposed
investigations! The Democracy at st
Louis gave out no such artifice to trick
the people; but boldly and plainly
gave the people to understand what tn,
result of the election OF Tilden anC
Hendricks would be. Yours,
