Democrat Of olden times, we are as
gratifed, as these Democrats of moder
are perplexed, at the policy of Gen. tt

and do so again, only because the Demo,
is now changing its ground, finding the

scription," are accusing the President of
ing broken his pledges.
The Democrats in Congress now appe;
consider it a matter Of " inconsiderable
portance whether the resolution of

But the Introduction Of the Resolution origi
mated inquiries which did not suit Democratic
paIates, and but little has been said of pro
scription lately.
In this prescription" Gen. Taylor ha;
followed the principle of Jefferson, in equal
izing the Offices Of the country among the
members OF both great parties. On coming
into office, he found these officers almost with
out exception filled by Democrats. He and
his Cabinet at once set TO work in remedyinq
the evil, and although their labors have beer
most heartily abused by dismissed Office
holders and their friends, as was natural, the
work is not yet done. The Democrats still
have the majority Of prominent offices, and
we hope the good work will be continued, un-
til a proper distribution of offices shall have
been made between the two great parties
Indeed, we hope the Administration will &c
further than this as it will be necessary tc
make fair balance sheet with the past Ad-
mnstration, which had all government officer:
Democrats, and there should be retaliation
on the part of the Wings to bring about the
proper equilibrium.

Itmay be asked what right has woman To
leave her domestic duties and meet in con-

buying glass by which reason is destroyed
and manhood dethroned. and yet there is nc
redress. Sisters. be who made woman an
help-meet for man, has something for US to dc
in this emergency, and let US beware how we

Romance in California.

We find the following floating incident in
the sea of paragraphs. 1t is a good specimen
of romance in a new country. We have lots
of elopements nearer home, but the fair ones
don't generally run away in corduroy pants
and flannel shirts:
The ELoPEMENT.-We- have received a
communication from Sacramento City, by
which VIC are informed that that the young
lady who left the city somewhat suddenly,
some time since, and concerning whom so many
contradictory reports have been in circulation,
each apparently with good authority, is
in one of the towns above Sacramento City.
Our informant has seen her, and states that
according to her representations she eloped
of her own accord, and that three of her friends
who left with her, were only concerned SO
far as to assist in the elopement. The AL
cade of the town informed our correspondent
that he had married the couple, and that the
certificate was on record The letter con-
cludes by saying 'she wore not a wreath OF
roses, but pair of cOrduray pants and flannel
shirt"

A SagaCiOus Dog.

A shepard once. to prove the quickness Of
his dog, who was lying before the fire in the
house in which we were talking, said to me
in the middle of sentence concerning some
thing else-"I'm thinking, sir, the COW is in
the potatoes" Though he purposely laid nc
stress on these words, and said in quiet un-
concerned tone ofvoice, the dog, who appear.
ed to be asleep, Immediately jumped up
leaped thro' an open window, and scrambled
up the turf roof of the house, from which he
could see the potatoe field. He then (not
seeing the COW there) ran and looked into the
barn where she was, and finding that all was
right, come back to the house. After short
time shepard said the same words again, and
the dog repeated the lookout; but on the false
alarm being third time given, the dog got up
wagged his tail, looked his master in the
face with so comieal an expression of interro-
CATION, we could not help laughing aloud at
him, on which, with slight growl he laid
himself down in his own warm corner with ar
offended air, as if determined not to be made
fool of again.

w TIE HIeeIss FAMILY, or as they ST

E THE HIGGINs FAMILY, or as they style
themselves "The Columbians," gave con-
cert of vocal music on Wednesday evening
last at the Presbyterian Church, to large
and music loving audience. We must confess
that we were slightly disappointed in their
singing, from the high anticipations we had
formed of their musical powers, from the ma
ny complimentary notices we have seen ot
them in our exchanges, There is not enough
energy in their manner of singing, owing, per
haps, to their want of confidence in their own
powers, and, as we should Judge, from diff
dence of singing to public audience. AT the
same time there was great deal of musica
talent displayed and blending of harmony
and voices seldom surpassed by any company
of similar nature that we ever heard. They
were particularly happy in their opening song
the May Qusen, and the grave of Daniel Boone
and take their performance as whole, it was
rather credible to themselves, and the Stat'
from which they hail.

Startling News from Santa Fe.
Wsshinoton Hume I

" u
Governor Washington, Of New-Mexico, ar
rived on Saturday nj ght. bringing important
news from Santa Fe. learn that not long be-
fore he left a public meeting was held to con-
slider the boundary question and the claim of
Texas, when hot dispute arose between a
number of citizens and Texans The meeting
resulted in fearful riot, which was about to
end in a general fight, when the officer COM
manding the garrison ordered the troops to
interfere and prevent bloodshed, which was
done. though not without difficulty. A great
excitement preavis in the city, the people of
which declare that they will oppose to the
utmost the attempt to force upon them the
authority and laws of Texas.
The riot which has now taken place is said
to have been provoked at the instiga.ion ofan
Assistant Quarter Master, Texan, attached
to the U. S. forces
This is evidently only the beginning of the
disturbances which will take place there, un-
less prompt measures are taken to cheek the
pretensions of Texas The recent letter OF
Hugh NJ. Smith. delegate from the terri
tory, which will soon reach his constituents, is
not calculated to allay the hostility they feel
in view of the attempt to despoit them oftheir
rights and plant Slavery on their free soil,
nor is it calculated to make them in love with
Southern intriguers.
Mr.. Smith, as learn, in consequence of this
intelligence, has charged his design Of return
ing Immediately home, and will remain at least
until the first Tuesday of July which the
House has fixed upon for the consideration
of his claim to- admission. This is his duty,
though his manly expose has not increased the
chance of decision in his favor. SIGMA.

Toledo and wellington Rail Road.
Fright Prospect.


We are happy to be able to state, that the
Committee appointed by the Norwalk meet
ing, met at Wellington on the 9th inst, and
agreed to employ a competent Engineer to
survey the contemplated route between Tole-
do and Wellington, and to cause his report to
be published at the earliest moment practica-
BILE. They appointed Mr. W. F. Kitteridge
Treasurer, who together with G. L. Boalt,
ESQ.,, the Chairman of the meeting, is TO re-
ceive the funds, raised for the purpose of ef-
fscting the survey, and to see them properly
expended in promoting that object. The
Committee went from Wellington to Cleve-
land, where they found good feeling existing,
and learned many things that encouraged
them to think, that this road will be speedily
built, if the friends act promptly and emerge
tically. No doubt is entertained, but they
will secure the aid of Mr.. Alfred Kelley
the President of the Columbus and Cleveland
Road.
This is one of the Improvements which we
regard as certain. 1t is of the utmost impor-
tance to us, that we should have that connec-
ton it furnishes, as soon possible, for there
BY we are secured direct Rail Road commu-
nication with Cleveland, with Columbus and
Cincinnati. This win be the link in the great
Lake Shore Road, which divurges from Tole-
do, over the Souther Michigan Road making
our city a-terminus for both.

rOah

In reply to some enquiries made of us by
the Fremont Freeman, as to what "0ld Lu-
cas-" was doing in regard to the Wellington,
Nerwalk and Toledo Railroad, we stated that
we did not know, but were certain that she
would do her share. We ate happy to be
now able to say that the amount apportioned
to this county lone hundred and fifty dollars)
to aid in making preliminary surveys, was
promptly raised, and remitted to the Treasur-
er at Norwalk yesterday.
The committee appointed to cause sur
vey, and report 10 the company, had meet
ing at Wellington last Thursday, and having
ascertained that the funds necessary TO the
survey had been raised by the respective
counties, appointed the President and Secre-
tary committee to employ surveyors, and
they were instructed to have the survey made
forthwith. From present indications, an in
fuence is likely to be brought to bear, that
will insure the speedy completion of this road.
The above we find in the Toledo RepuJIi-
can, and we are glad to find the citizens Of
Lucas county so thoroughly aroused to the
importance of this contemplated Railroad
Toledo, and in fact all Lucas county, will b
as much or more benefited than any other point
on the road, & the friends of the enterprise look
to them for important aid in its construction.
We have never doubted but this road, OIL
the contemplated one north of this place
would be built within a few years, and circum
stances now lead US to believe, that it will bt
done within three or ive years at most A
unanimous and energetic action on the part o
those interested, will secure its building be
yond all contingencies
