AYE, be kind to them Ye who have
never felt the bitter pangs of gnawing
hunger, who have never passed through
dreaiy winter with chattering teeth and
limbs palsied with cold, who have never
prayed for the sweet forgetfulnRss of
sleep, to shut out for brief season the
frost whose icy breath struck chill to your
heart, and who have never fallen prey
to the canker worm Of grief and misery,
which all these suilerings entail we pray
you, be kind to the poor


Be kind to the poor. Yes, for the
blessing of prosperity which Heaven has
shOwered upon you, will yield you no
true happiness if others are starving.
Heaven has placed you upon earth, and
has exposed you to like chances of want
and wretchedness. In Pharisaical spirit,
then, thank not God "that you are not
as other men," but rather with the Publi-
can sue humbly for mercy, and enhance
the efficacy of prayer by charity and
kindness. A satisfied conscience sheds a
peace and comfort through the heart and
soul, without which the immortal spirit
cannot be satisfied. Follow not then
after the selfishness of the world around
you, unless, like Dives, thou wOuldst here
after reap thy fate, and view from amidst
thy torment the poor man in Abraham's
bosom.


Be kind to the poor. And well thou
mayst How many gradations of suffer
ing and want must that heart endure,
which, lacking life's necessities and mans
friendly hand, lies down to die with a
prayer for that mercy of Heaven which
earth denies, And though faint be the
voice of supplication, and weak the heart
which lifts itself to God, yet will it pre-
vail with the Omniscient, and be register
ed above as testimony against thee.


Be kind to the poor. Earth has more
sorrow than her heart can contain, more
of suffering than frail nature can bear,
The widow left to toll and struggle alone
amidst the desolstion of bereavement, APP
peals in tones more eloquent than words
for your sympathies and aid, The help.
less orphan brought into the world and
left alone by the relentless hand of death,
claims your guardianship and protection,
| And as you expect continuance of the
mercies and blessing of Heaven, so in this
wise be merciful to others; then shall the
gates of plenty and honor be open to thee
and the pillow of peace kiss thy cheek

On the 22d day of August 1870, the
Democracy of the First Supervisor Dis
trict, of Trinity county, held a Convention
for the purpose Of nominating a candidate
for Supervisor. Hon. J. X. Luttrell, now
a candidate for Congress, was in the
county at the time and drew up set of
resolutions which were laid before the
Convention, at his instance, and adopted.
We especially commend them to the
consideration Of the Sacramento Union :


RESOLVED, That the Democracy of
Trinity county, ever faithful to the time
honored principles Of the party, declare
as follows:


First, That we are in favor of Free
Trade, and that we are opposed to the
ruinous High Tariff now imposed upon
the country by the present Congress that
the Tariff is unequal, unjust, and tends to
lmpoverish the poor man and enrich the
wealthy manufacturer.


Second, That the whole course of the
Republican party tends to the establish
ment of moneyed aristocracy in our
land, and that they are the advocates of
cheap labor, which is detrimental to the
interests of the working classes.


Third, That the Republican party are
responsible for the increase of the Chinese
population on the Pacific Coast and should
be held to strict accountability for the
same that they have heretofore and do
still encourage Chinese immigration to
this State by Congressional enactments
abrogating all measures adopted by our
Legislature for the discouragement of
Chinese immigration.


Fourth, That the act of Congress which
seeks to abolish the law of this State i'm
posing Foreign Miners License" is
unjust to and an outrage upon the white
miners of this State, and was enacted for
the sole purpose of encouraging Chinese
immigration that the Republican party,
who have had control of all the branches
OF the United States Government for the
last ten years, have in this instance, as in
other parallel instances, legislated for the
sole interests of the colored races and to
the injury and prejudice of the whites
and as they have held and exercised all
the powers Of the General Government,
they have meritcd and should receive the





laboring classes of the country.


FFfth, That we will oppose the employ
ment of Chinese in any capacity whatever
and that we will oppose any and all per-
sons who may employ Chinese laborers
In the mines or any other capacity.


Sirth, That when the Chinese refuse
to pay the License imposed upon them
by the laws Of this State, we will by united
action expel them from the mines of
Trinity county - peaceably if we can,
torcibly if We must that we will aid
John Jackson, our worthy and efficient
Sheriff and Tax Collector, in the collection
of the a." Foreign Miners Tax !" and in
case he is interrupted by the Congressional
or Republican party in the faithful per-
formance of a duty imposed upon him by
the laws Of this State, that we will con-
tribute by every way possible and within
our power to aid him in the performance of
his sworn duty; and should he finally be
stopped from the collection of said tax,
then, in that case, we will rid the county
OF Chinese miners, and to this end we will
cooperate with all anti-Chnese associa-
tions and organizations throughout the
State.

TIE CoNVRNTIoNs. Arkansas will
have more state conventions this year
than any state in the Union, and what
is still greater novelty, three of them
will be republican. Within.one months
time we will have four. First will be
the Minstrel republican convention.
Right on the heels Of this comes the
Brindle Tail republican convention.
In less than one month from that, on
the 18th of June, we are to have the
liberal republican convention, to be
followed on the next day by the demo-
cratic convention. SO that all tho
political lights of the state, of what-
ever shade of belief will very probably
visit the capital at some time during
the months of May and June, all bent
on saving the country. If the country
is not saved it ought to be. There is
an old adage, however, that too much
doctoring is generally fatal to the pa
'ient But it is to be hoped that this
will not prove the case in this instance.

INDIGNANT ABOUT T.--The radiS
cal leaders ere indignant because the
democrats keep so quiet as to their
future action. 1t is peculiarly per-
picking. The leaders are reduced to
their fighting weight and are spelling
for a contest. The democrats sit quiz
etly by and look on, and so the radi-
calls are compelled to display their
lighting qualities upon each other.
They must have contest with some
one, and as the democrats do not seem
disposed to pick up their profered
buckskins they fall upon each other in
true pugilistic style. 1t is not for the
democracy to interfere in these pleas
ant exchanges of compliments and
ordinations. 1t is not in their pro-
vince to even act as an umpire in the
contest, any further than it involves
the question Of principle. That good

STATE Policy. We make the fd-
lowing extract from a correspondent
of the Gazette, writing from this place
The Gazette endorses the ideas of the
correspondent, in full. After depre.
eating the idea of a coalition with either
of the three wings of the republican
party, &C goes on 10 say:


Now, the question occurs, if we see
fit not to make nominations; and not
to coalesce with either faction Of the
republican'party, what alternative is left
us? We have simply to be "passive,"
as ii is termed. Let us abandon the
field entirely, aud let the convention,
in an address to the people, assign their
reasons for so doing. IF we become
satisfied of the fact that the party in
power will repeat its conduct in the
matters of registering and voting, it
would be nonsense to make nominal
tons. No decent man cares to be a
candidate at an election which he knows
is to be mere farce, and no decent
voter would care to participate in it.
Not even the most sanguinc, uncom
promising democrat would care to drag
the skirts Of the party through the bogs
and mires Of radical election. 1t is
folly to say that the radical party dare
not repeat these frauds at elections.
What they have done in the past they
can and will do in the future. They
have no restraints upon them. The
enforcement act had been tried, and
they eluded it. And if there were any
state laws Furnishing ofenses of the
kind they would be dead statutes in
the hands of radical executive officers
and courts to enforce them. Clayton,
too, we have reason to believe, will re-
turn to his constituents(D Dwhitewashed,
and will be thereby licensed to repeat
his past election frauds, with a prom,
ise of full pardon from his master.


This course, upon the part of the
democracy, would leave the fight en-
tirely with the ''party of progiess'--
"the party of great moral ideas" The
members of the democratic party in
this event, would be free to vote as
they saw fit between the rival candi,
dates. There would be no compro-
mise of principle in this. Having no
candidates in the field, we would feel
free in the exercise of our choice in Sc.
lecting tie least Of evils. This, too,
would leave the people in the different
counties free to organize for the pur,
pose of electing the best men for Offices
governed entirely by surrounding
circumstances. In the event the dele
gates in the state convention should see
fit to make 10 nomination, this would
seem the wisest course for the parry.

PoLITICAL.-The election to take
place this coming fail, is to be general
one. All national, state, county and
township officers are to be elected.
The best policy to be pursued by the
people may be one thing in the national
canvass, another in the state, and per.
haps still another in the local and
county matters. Nationally we look
to the Cincinnati Convention for a
more satisfactory definition of the sit
uation. With regard to state matters
we look to the June Convention tor
important developments. With regard
to the probable and proper course for
the people to take in the election of
county officers, we think each county
ought to manage that matter for itself.
And we believe that the time has now
come when the people of this county,
at least, are ready to unite in an effort
to secure the election of honest citizens
to the Offices of the county. The time
when we must act, is approaching, and
although perhaps, it is too early to be-
gin the canvass, we ought to begin to
gel our house in order, and be ready
to execute whatever plans for the cam
paign may be decided upon.
