BY the enactment oil the Maine law
in these New England States, these
fanatics have accomplished inmeasura-
bic mi chef while they have achieved
no good. They have rolled the Tenn
perance reformation years backwards,-
and they have engendered the bi teresi
and worst feelings which slumber in
the human heart. Blood has already
been shed in Maine, and the hands Of
the fanatics who have urged the pas
sage Of this law, ure stained with the
gore OF their fellow men. Whatever
may ye, come from the monslrosi,ies Of
the law, these wild fanatics are answer
able for. We must do many Of them
the justice TO say that We believe their
sincere Wv their fanaticism,-bu why
God has abandoned them TO- heir folly
and wickednesst ~e cannot eoncieve,-
unless II can be accounted for on the
principle that those whom l,e intends 10
destroy he frs, msies mad.
We have never advised resistance tS
this or any other law bu, have always
been opposed 10 the law, as q lawyer
and as q man,-and for these reasons
we conscien.iously oppose il, and shall
continue to do so. A very large pro-
portion OF the people Of this town are al
SO opposed to the law, and in the ediIo-
rial remarks which we have made in
regard to it, we have but expressed and
echoed the true state OF public opinion
in this community,-and had we pur-
sued any other course, we should have
been reckless to our trust, and misrep-
resented popular sentiment. The friends
of the Maine Law, in this town, and in
the whole County, are but q very small
part Of the population; among them,
however, are srme respectable and
worthy people,-and We can only re-
grct that their judgment is 30 intemper-
ate and crazy, and that their good.
sense has taken such sudden leave Of
them.

LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.

From our last California papers we
Gull the following happenings in Col
dom
An AFFAIR or HoNoR.-An affair o:
honor came of at the Mission Dolores
yesterday, July 18th, between james
S. Wcthered and Clinton Winter, in
which Mr.. Winter was severely, but
not dangerously Wounded. The par
ties fought at ten PAGES distance, with
Colts army pistols. Three shots were
iiI ed by each party, when Mr.. Winters
pistol failed to revolve, and ere he could
discharge his piece the fourth time, he
received his adversay's ball through the
abdomen and fell. The wound 10 not
considered mortal. Mr.. Wethercd es-
capped unhur, The difficulty arose from
a dispute which occurred on tho 9Th of
July.
In Mariposa county the excitement
growing out Of the miners troubles, is
very great. Judge Marvin furnishes
the following particulars to a San fran
cisco paper:
IA number Of foreigners, principally
Mexicans, who have been settled for
some time at place called Mariposita,
on the Mariposa, had turned the stream
and found good diggings, possession OF
which was claimed by body OF Amer
leans. who denied the right of the for
eigners to " wUrk them. The latter, 10
The number of three or four hundred,
headed by few Frenchmen, resolved
upon defending their claims.
The Americans Immediately sent out
runners, and some two hundred armed
men collected, when the foreigners
deemed it prudent to retire, leaving
their claims and improvements in pos
session of the Americans. At one time
it was thought there would be much
blood shed, but the report is that only
one shot was fired. Some 25 or 30 for
eigners were arrested but what disposi-
ton had been made OF them we have
moi heard. A scouting party was form
ed and all foreigners in the country or
dered off in twen,y-one hours"
About fifty foreign miners had been
expelled from Mariposa. Blood will
probably flow very soon, unless the an.
cry elements subside.
The Fourth July was celebrated with
great eclat at San Francisco. The city
was in blaze Of glory, flags, decora-
tions Of NIL sorts, patriotism and gun
powder. An immense procession was
formed, an oration pronounced by Elisha
Cook, Esq, an Oriental dinner eaten,
the day closing with universal festivities
liquor and fireworks.
Amusements are active and paya,ive
in various parts Of the country. The
great star is Signora Biscaccanti, who
was giving concerts in San francisco
with great success. The New Orleans
Scrcnaders were also performing at the
same place, and the AlIeghan;ans were
at Marysville. The theaters are doing
a good business, several new actors
having recently arrived from the States.

dicated General Pierce from the charge
which, by the way, had never been
made-that he was in favor ofthe bigot-
ed clause in the New Hampshire Con-
stitution. As the wicked fee when no

were excited by this premature vindica-
ton und he explored all the records.
lie finds, that the original clause was
inserted in 1871, al the instance Of Gen.
eral Pierce's father--thai that old gen.
tleman was iurious champion OF the
alien and sedition laws--and a clergy
man having said prayers before The Leg.
isla'ure, without praying for the Presi-
dent OF the United S.n,es and Congress,
as required by law, was on his motion
Informed they had no farther use for
him.
He also discovered, that in tho Con-
vcntion Of 1850, General Pierce made no
speech on the Catholic clause. Judge
Woodbury. made such a speech--but
Pierce did not open his mouth. BY an
ingenious forgery, Pierce 10 saddIed

the Civil and Diplomatic bill, imposing
the same lighthouse duties on English

His squadron, under the command OF
Admiral Wright, consists Of six sailing
vessels Of war and two stea mere. His
army comprises 1000 men, perfectly dis
ciplined, Of whom large part are
Yankee riflemen. 1t is supposed that

into the interior. Later accounts state
that battle had actually taken place,
in which Flores was successful.

General Pillow says that General
Pierce, after falling from his horse at
Contrcras, lay all nj. hi among the
sharp pointed rocks Of lava" Judge
Douglass says that these rocks OF lava
were "red-hot." Now we demand OF the
Colonels Of the Times, who tell us that
they were eye-wilnesses Of General P's
misfortune, why they didn't take him to
comfortable quarters instead OF permit
ing him to lie all night upon the red hot
rocks. There are four OF them, and
surely they might, by each taking a leg
or an arm, have got him off the red
hot rocks. There would have been no
danger of their burning their icet, as we
understand they are always provided
with salamanderskn boots.
You should be ash med Of yourselves,
Colonels, thus to have neglected your
future nominee. Broiling all day un-
der hot sun is nothing at all TO broil-
ing all night upon burning lava. The
Concord IN. ii Patriot says that Gen
eral Pierce is n kind hearted, peaceablc
