SOCIAL PHENOMENA IN CALIFORNIA
One Of the most interesting features in the
extraordinary state OF society now in pro-
cess of formation in California, is the APP
pearance, among the new and mixed races
that have flowed into that country, ofmany
females from New South Wales and other
penal settlements 10 the west Pacific, and
their union. in matrimony, with emigrants
mostly their own countrymen, who have
come from the opposite direction Of the
globe. We observe several marriage no.
tees in the California papers, in which
the parties were from New South Wales.
This is certainly a strange result, and re-
minds US OF similar events in the history
Of the older States, with whose early pop
ulatioD there was intermingled a consider
able number of convicts. These peo-
pie proved good settlers, for, with tn e
change of situation and circumstances,
their manners and habits also changed.
Many of these c%onvicts are the victims OF
bad laws, or poverty, of social inequalities
and the other evils lncideat to the forms
Of government prevailing in the nations Of
the old world.
When removed to new arenas of action
and allowed freescope for their energies.
t and better fields for their labols, and capa-
bilities, they become good citizens and
/ raise up resp ectable families. Rome was
settled by the out cast population Of the
: old cities Of the old world, yet where dc
we. find sturdier, honester Of more power
ful race than than that which sprung from
d this stock2 So, we trust and believe, ]
e will be with California. Many will &
there who have been prescribed BY oil
e countries, and will reestablish characters
and become useful members Of society
Let not, therefore, the convict from New
South Wales be regarded with prejudice
and unkindness in our new territory. lie
lie them all have a chance, and should the
h prove worthy and respectable, be rewarded
re accoFdingly.-M o. Della.

NORTHERN FANATICS REBUKED
The following extract from the New
blk journal Of Commerce, on the sub
y Of slavery. is worthy the attention Of
ey man in the nation. The editor
pws up the hypocrisy and deception OF
north in the right way. He tells them
mind their own business and TO let the
ulh alone. Such men deserve the thanks
every true hearted Southerner. Here
the extract:
Who is responsible for slavery at the
nth, for which Southern men are so con-
uly, and so unjustly, and unspaTingly
used2
Did the South send their ships to AZ

memory Of Mr. Calhoun, made part oia
recent discourse in n Of our churches.
on the occasion Of a Sunday shoot ami
versary. 'Thetezt was, Ecclesiastcs, Ii, 6,
Char. Msr.
Lately We saw this whole city clothed
in mourning, hushed to silence, around the
bier of the illustrious.de "A star had
left the sky :" star of the first magnitude;
a star Of transcendant brightness. Those
funeral houors, such as not the Oldest
among US ever saw before, such as the
youngest will probably never see again, as
a tribute 10 mere intellect, however ezalt-
ed. They were paid to erdIted virtuej
to tried and tested moral excellence. Only
virtue could have called forth such hon.
age. If with thfs lofty intellect there had
been associated any degree Of moralaegr
radiation, if, when We stood around his
bieErand wished to honor his memory,
there had obtruded itself upon our view
ever one dark shadow to obscure the brill
liancy Of his fame-if there had insinuated
itself into our minds the recollection Of
some unworthy :rait Of character, some
faint of vice or proHigacy, sullying the lus-
ire of his genius-those heartfelt honors
could not have been paid the scene be-
fore our eyes would have been but a hol-
low and mock!ng ceremony +; there would
have been in our bosoms a humiliating
consciousness that those outward signs
and demonstrations Of reverential sorrow,
however imposing, were but deceilful
1t was the absence of all such memories,
which made those funeral honors so full OF
meaning. When we thought Of that cha
racter, so great and sublime in its simplici-
ly, so unsuIlied in its purity, SO far removed,
not only from degrading vices, but even
from the ordinary weakness Of ordinary
men-when we thought Of him as one
who, IN scenes so p%erilous to all but the
most ~incorruplible integrity, never faltered
in his allegiance TO truth, justice, honor,
patriotism when we thought of him as
Erivaliug those great, immortal names Of
classic antiquity, who honored like him in
life, were mourned in death with not dis
| similar honors-then we felt the grand and
impressive meaning Of what otherwise
would have been but an empty pageant
then we felt that, in honorin g him, we were
honoring virtue; we paid the hearts best
homage to his memory who, to lofty &c
MUS exalted station, commanding influence
added the GROWING glory Of moral excel
lence.
"There may the wearied eye repose,
And gaze upon the great,
Where neither guilty glory glows,
Nor despioable state"
Was that moral excellence a cdsud
product? Could it be traced to no cause
or was it the growth of a lifetime, from
seed early sown2 Most confidently may
we affirm that such character could onl,
be the result of principles, early implanted
in the heart, and nourished and malure'
by the genial influences of moral culture
His own words, written just before hi
death, reveal the secret Of his greatness
He speaks of a 'cultivated and refine
moral sense" as "the basis of all that i
grand and beautiful in human character.
Would that that sentiment might be Ell
shrined in every heart that felt its pulse
| quickened BY that magnificent homage
