For THE CALIFORNIAN.

OR THE CALIFORNIAN,
When n man who has been blindly following IA
vorte rulers, or adherlng to political party, with
out closely examining and weighing their principles,
discovers that they wrong, he is justified in all
that he does honorablv, expose ne ialIacies of
the doctrine he ignoranty profcssed, and to uphold
The portv he concoivos 70 be night. Or when he
sees that his party has orsaken the path originally
marked out, he is bound to follow them farther
than conscientious conformity to his opinions die
| tates. They may differ widely from him, and to
careless observer, he, instead of them, may appear
to have changed. Such apparent Inconsistency is
the astency of the skllful boatman who leans
first to the one side and then the other 10 restore
to his light craft the equilibrium the whrling eddes
have disturbed But there is a way of ''turning
ones coat differing fan from this: political apos-
tacy which only has for it's object preierment in Of
fce and which Is intended to satisfy the cravings
of an inordnate ambition. When such change
takes place, every former profession Of fidelity is
forgotten, every former pie dge of political faith is
disregarded and every former declaration of belief
Is to be considered the vagaries of youth or mex
perience, a. best a visionary scheme of unat-
tanable perfection. The very idea of consistency
is exploded. Principles made they needed,
the necessary cant is quickly got by heart the jack
daw shines forth in feathers, simply borrowed for
the OCCASION, and the splendid imposition is so well
contrived that at the very time the path of rectude
is quilted forever, he seems advancing into some
higher and nober road. Of public conduct. In the
mean time, that eminence and distinction which
all these changes aimed at securing remain as un-
certain as over. The bubble of office he has been
long striving to obtain, goes further beyond his
reach at every renewed effort and he only serves TO
advance those men whose depised tool he has been.
Finally, such turncoas delivered up into the
hands of those who feel neither respect for their
persons gratitude for their favors, and whe the
signal is given, ready to abandon and destroy
them in order to set up some newer dupe of am
btion, who in his turn, is to be abandoned and
destroyed. Who will support such men ?
He who stands upon slippery place
Makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up.

that hole was already burnt in the floor and that the

The Phantom Isle.
From the shores Of merry England
In gallant ship rsde,
To eek afar, in eastern clineS,
A pleasanter abode
Leaving friends and Toes behind ME,
What more glorious could there be
Than to watch the swelling oceans foam,
As we bounded light and tree
For a crew we had merry band,
Exulting In the sound
OF the snow-white surf that kiss'd their cheeks
pTwas pleasantness profound
They long had ploughed the mighty deep,
Their own, their native home,
And quaf>d delight In shoreless seas,
And seas, which knew no foam.
DAYS, weeks, and months went Joyousiyi
Yet still we 1eeted on
Nor saw we cen roaming bark,
Save that which We could own.
AT length our mornings rising sun
Brought full before our view
The shores of that bright Phantom Isle,
Where dwells happy few.
oh, heaven! it was glorious ght
eye could wish 10 meet;
For fairer none than that sweet land,
Whose earth we ionged TO greet;
And farer for ps this e arih ne'er saw
That rules that paradise;
But, Oh! what saddening looks appeared
As II LETT our wondering eyes.
II drifted on through realms OF bliss,
Steered by its phantom queen
ARd long ere set that morning
No sestige could be seen,
Save that bright crown its head had graced,
That blue, that heavenly sky!
BUTT, toe, like the dreaming land,
Soon vanished from the eye.
With grefstung souls we horne ward came,
Fore fev'ring eastern gales
Which filed with heavenly sounds as well
Our swelling gallant sails
Put those too, like their native home
Soon scared above our ears
To Join their own, the happy band,
Amid their eral spheres.
A few short months, reached again
Old England's real shores
Where Heaven, in its benehcence,
genuine blessing pours-
Where nought like phanioms lure the eye -
I'll rest in peace henceforth,
And guard our young-our noble queen,
Who rules her native north ~ X. h.
