Insanity in California.

The San Francisco Courier, in pressing upon the
attention of the authorities of that State, the duty
of providing public Asylum, for the Insane,
says:
1.-THE necessity of some provision for the recep-
ton and treatment of patients suffering under this
dreadful affection, is urged by the great and in
creasing prevalence of insanity among the emf
grants. There is scarcely physician in the State
who has not had more patients than one. Hardly
a vessel leaves the port for the Atlantic States
which does not take away some sufferer for med-
cal aid. A Judge one of the lower courts in San
Francisco has stated that more than one hundred
and fifty cases had come under his observation in
that city in less than six months, and the editor
of the Courier thinks there have been at least four
hundred victims, since the settlement of the place
by the Americans. At the mines, the disease is
also prevalent. In fact, the accounts, make it
plain, that in no other known community has there
ever been SO large proportion of persons depri-
we'd of their reason, and needing the tenderest
cares of sympathising kindred, and the humane
guardianship of some public institution

The U.ien Democrats Of f~

We have learned, from yariousSs5e : @ TEE gse
Union Democrats bave called COVE 80 be
held at Jackson on the first Monday iiTJanuary
next, of all who viii support the nominee of the
Baltimore onyention.--That this call is signed
by the members of the Convention calling them
selves Union Democrats. with the exception OF
some few, perhaps or 5. This scheme It is said,
has been laid and carefully planned with de-
hberate intent TO force the Democrats of this State
to acknowledge these men as tie Democrats, and
to compel the Democratic party to come to them,
and hence the selection OF the first Monday in
January. And they rely on the influence of Gen.
Foote, to secure tie delegates whom they may
send, seats in the Baltimore Convention, to tie
exclusion of the Democratic party. This we re-
gard as very highland move-the result Of
desperation in Gen. Foote, who knows full well
that the Democratic party of Mississippi will trust
him no more Suppose he succeeds in inducing
organization of his friends and followers, sepa-
rate from the Democratic party what would be
the result? With three parties in the State the
contest might be close between the Democrats and
Whigs-and Foote'S party would hardly amount
to Corporal's guard But We most sincerely
hope these men, who are leading and participating
in the move will let sober, second thoughts in
huence them for we have personal friends among
them, and unite with the Democrats of Missis
sppi.-MarshaH Jefersonian.
