The Democrat revived Again.

This paper which expired so gently number
of months ago--without watchers-without an
obituary--and without an epitaph--(b ut the COM
mon one "here lies, , arose again last Thursday
afternoon.
1t is not so large by couple of columns in
| bulk, as it was before but in talent and manly
openness of character, it is much larger than
when it had its decemvirate of editors.
We are pleased to see the bold and open stand
taken by the editor in his salutatory-event though
it defies humanity, and distrusts God: for it gives
| US an opportunity to see all sides of the image
! which we are called upon to worship, and affords
us grounds to interpose our objections to the idol
airy.
1t advocates the claims of the dsembowelled
democracy, as asserted in Baltimore conventions
fugitive slave laws, and the consequent hunting
of negroes.
We are sorry that a MAN can be found so des-
tltute of human vitals, who vii! be willing at the
suggestion of others, or from innate sympathy
to advocate the claims of any party, or any name
at the sacrifice of what appears TO US, his re-
lationship to humanity, and his heavenly origin.
But as we said before, if these are the honest
opinions of any man, he commands our respect
in their bold utterance When we combat-all
we ask, is, a sight of the enemy; and show of
his Steel
Our friend suggests, that in one year from
now, hunkers, and free soil democrats, pro slave
ry and anti slavery democrats, will stand "united
shoulder to shoulder" We are glad to learn
there is SO good prospect of their conversion,
but as there are some men who have less faith
in Sudden conversions" than others; we hope
they will begin to relent as soon as possible,
and abandoning their hatred to humanity, come
out as soon as possible, and advocate the uniyer-
sal right of all men against the clai ms of fec
despotic shareholders.
For our part, we have taken the Jclfersonian
oath, and sworn "eternal hostility against every
form of tyranny, which shall Cypress mem
From this position we shall never receGe.
Pecuniarily we wish our neighbor abundant
success.
We welcome him to the fair fields of an ed
itor's life in the west.
We hope his encouraging prospects of re-
Enumeration for his toll, will never be blighted.-
THE laborer is worthy of his hire And we
know of no man who earns his money, if the

tude does not

We are gratifed to learn of the enthusiasm
which inspires those who live upon the line o.
this road, for its speedy completion A notice
that the Books are open for the taking of the
stock appears in another column, we hope the
public spirit of our citizens will not suffer the
work to be delayed, as far as liberal subscriP-
ton on their part will prevent it. A first rate
vein of roads will be opened by this communca-
ton which will not fail Immediately to return
large benefits to the merchants and other inhab-
itants of the city.
There is no doubt bat that the farmers on the
route will subscribe literally for the work, as
they ale all anxious it should be completed as
soon as possible.

Mr.. Piers Civil engineer) are out surveying
different rontes for the purpose of ascertaining
the amount Of grading necessaryto be done, and
to take what advantage may be gained in the ex-
penses of construction.
There is no doubt but that this road can be
constructed in the most durable manner, so that
the FOIL shall not exceed l cent per mile and
yield fair profit on the investment.

FlOrass Festival,

Mr.. II. B. Coz will give a Free Concert,
with about 100 of the scholars of public school
No. /; in the Baptist Church, this evening at s
O'Clock. The songs which will be introduced,
are all connected, and represent Festival of
F!oaoers, a kind of Juvenile oratorio, called Flo
ra's Festival; which will be represented by all
the singers, Cor nearly alp appearing in white ;
with a wreath of flowers upon their heads; also
the browning of the Queen, and other things
appropriate. The Festival is divided into three
parts morning, noon and night; and the songs
of each division, represents the part Of the day
under which they are placed.
The patrons and friends Of the school, will
have an opportunity to enjoy themselves in list
ening to the sweet voices Of these 'early birds >
and of ascertaining, what degree of proficiency
can be attained by these initiative ''litte ones, y
even at the disadvantage which only few min
utes each day affords,
Mr.. Coz, is deserving of great credit for the
extra labor and pains, which he expends in i'm
proving and interesting the expanding minds of
the youth under his charge.
Mr.. Coz cordially invites all who can appre-
ciate this effort, and who of course can make
proper allowance for the undiscipiined voices of
his pupils to be present,

THE FIRE All SAN FRANsESCO.

From all accounts, this appears to be The most
destructive fire which has happened since the
great fire in New York Of 1885.
Upwards of $500 buildings have been consul
med, which with the goods destroyed, cannot fall
far short of $4,000 600
Over mile square Of Territory was swept
clear by the devouring element. Just one year
previous the same night, the city of San Fran
cisco was laid in ashes
Bat gambling shops were left, while all the
churches were burned.
All the printing Offices but one in the city were
destroyed.
This immense destruction of property, falls
upon almost every body else, than the San Fran
siscans. Already have they begun to rebuild
and as there are Millions of goods stored in the
vessels of the Harbor, there is not much doubt
but that the stores will be Immediately rebuilt
and business assume in q measure its wonted
channels.

Fire Insurance..

| EDITOR OF TELEGRAPH am informed that
some Of the agents of Insurance Co.'S. in this city,
feel rather grouty in relation to a late law of the
Legislature of this state, imposing a tax of two
per cent. on all premiums by them received
Has not the insurer as much interest in the pre-
servation OF property, as the insured? Especially
when the property is Gas is generals the case)
insured for two thirds, or three fourth its value.
Why then should the insured sustain the whole
burden of keeping up fire departments? No
company iusuring property here, have paid a
penny for the benefit of the fire department. OK
cept three of which, our Hon. Mayor is the a.
gent. There would be no need of such law,
if the different Insurance companies, were pos
scsscd of the right spirit, and were sufficiently
liberal in assisting those who sacrifice 50 much
time aud money for the preservation of the insur-
crs int erests, as well as their own. am hap
Ply TO say that some of the agents have already
filed their bonds and cheefuIly comply with the
law, believing it just and right, that the insurers
should pay for the protection Of their interests
as well as the insured. As near as can esti-
! mate, at least $4,000 have been paid for fire
insurance in this place, during the last five years.
during which time, the losses by fire have not
amounted TO $4,000.
There has already been several Instances in
which insurance companies have been saved
several hundreds, if not thousands of dollars at
time, by the etertions of fire departments,
within the last Is months.
Milwaukee has the, same law, as regards
this matter, as Kenosha. A LOCKER ON.
Mr.. EDITOR If you think these few re-
marks worthy your attention. please give them
place in your paper
| see no reason why the Bloomer Dress should
be repulsve to the feelings of modesty, and be
met with indignation and various sarcastic re-
marks, both in public and private.
Our opposers have already acknowledged too
much jni;s favor, to have the least influence in
retarding its progress.
If we must spend from one half to three fourths
of our time promenading the streets, Gas has been

sy and convenient dress for that exercise, name

tedious, than to be busily engaged at home in
some useful employment.
1t is evident enough that i: is not the most
intelligent part of community that make us sub
jects of ridicule and contemplation the most
noisy we have the least to fear it therefore needs
no comments.
