know that our heightened terms were not jeal-
ously constituted with view to continual re-
sponse. We, of the other House, act always from
the impulse of those sentiments which you i'm
bue US with at the beginning of every political
year, and we are all willing to acquiesce, when
ever you choose TO intercept our judgment, In
any and every direction you may desire to give
In regard to the action of the minority Cau-
Gus, the Address says;
In the case before us, the minority had no
cause to protest, much less an excuse TO rebel.
The question of time purely caucus ques-
ton, There was no principle to be considered
that had been established by the State and Ma
tional Constitutions, clenched by the usages OF
the country; and the only point for deliberation
was, the firing of a day. The caucus was called,
therefore, to deliberate upon an act purely OF
party policy: to settle an expedient. and not to
decide principle; and those who refuse to re-
coguise its action and respect its DEGREES. whe-
ther party organs or party men, deliberately re-
linouished all claims to democratic favor,-all
right to future notice.
The Address next pitches inta the General
Government, for its neglect to place the Federal
offices in the hands of those favoring their views
on the Senatorial question after which it winds
up as follows instituting a new test of demo
cracy -
The time is ripe for judgment-he crisis has
arrived for action. The masses of the State
are examining the roll, and, as the soldiers an
swer, they take sides forever. The Senatorial
question having been decided by majority of
the Democratic members of the Legislature to
come on this winter is The test. The constill-
tion permits, usage warrants, and the necessities
of the time require it. That is our platform: and
in good faith and honor we plant ourselves upon
it, and submit ourselves to you.

From Yrcka.

Messrs. Rhodes and Cram, Rogers & Co.'S Ex-
presses each placed US in possession OF Noun
tain Herald of the 18th. on Thursday last,
The Herald in urging the necessity OF wa
gon road from the Sacramento to that place,
and for the improvement of the trail to Cres-
cent City, makes the following statements:
The present rates of transportation to this
place are greater than in any other part OF Cali
fornia The freights to the counties OF Siskiyou
in California and Jackson in Oregon, amount at
the present time at the rate of Is cents per h.,
to about $4,000 per day, or 81 ,642, 500 per year.
Now, by bringing these different routes into
competition, freights would be reduced at least
one-third, making ~ cents per pound, (which
in that event would most certainly be done,-
thus annually saving to these two counties alone
the immense sum of S547 900.
The information contained in the following
paragraph is very gratifying to the true friends
of California, Those who feel an interest in the
development of her agricultural resources;
There will not be sufficient wheat raised iu
the two pallies the present year to supply the
demand In the county of Sskiyou there will
be about 400 acres of wheat raised--in Jackson
about 2000-making in all 3,400 acres. At 90
bushels per acre. we would have 6S 600 bushels
would make 2,72000O pounds. During the q d
year there has been consumed in the two cou:
ties about 3 $50 goo pounds. Thus it will be
seen that we will not raise much wheat the
present year as will be needed for consumption
by 100000 pounds independent of the seed
which will be reserved for next years crop.
In this connection correspondent of the
same paper. writing from Cousa, makes the
deciaraton that the Crescent City route has an
per pound. II this be so, which we very much
doubt it demands immediate action Oh the part
of our merchants.
The resolution before the Legislature of Ore
gon, for the division of that Territory, was re-
jected by vote of ayes to 10 nays

TIE president AND THE FILLIBUs srERs.-The
President issued the following proclamation on
the 18th January:
WHEREAS. Information has been received by
me That unlawful expedition has beeu fitted
out in the State of California with view to in
wade Mexlco-a nation maintaining friendly re-
laI' us with the United Staes-and that other
expeditions organising within the United
States for the same unlawful purposes. And
~i reas, certain citizens, inhabitants of this
country, nnmintlfnl of their obligations and ou
lies, and OF the tights of friendly power, have
participated and are about to participate in these
enterprises, so derogaiory TO national char
1cter and so threatening to our tranquility and
are thereby incurring the severe penalties i'm
posed by law against such Offenders.
Now therefore, /, franklin Pierce President
OF The United S'ates, have issued this MY proc
lamation, warning all persons who shall connect
themselves with any such enterprise or expe-
ditlon, that the penalties of the law denounced
against such criminal conduct will be riyidlv
enforced And | exhort all good citizens as
they regard our national character, as they re-
spect our laws. or the law of nations as they
valne the blessings of peace and the welfare Of
the country-to discountenance and by all law.

And call upon all officers of the government,
civil and military to any efforts which NAV
be IN their power TO arrest for trial and punish
ment every such offender.
Mr. Gwin made the following remarks in the
Senate in relation thereta,
Mr.. Gwin desired to call the attention of the
country to matter connected with the procla,
nation. 1t was that at the time the expedition
was got up in California, the United States had
no force there to prevent its sailing, He wished

Building Lots in the Mines.

The object sought to be effected by the fol-
lowing bill, is doubtless very praiseworihy We
think, however, that the bill is too loosely
worded to be placed upon the statute book as
a law. We think it desirable for the people to
know exactly what quantity of ground such a
law would consider I" lot" So much "spacc
appertaining and belonging thereto as is neces-
sary for the purposes OF business or convenience
of residence" is not sufficiently definite; as uu-
der such law a man might find it convenient.
in hotel keeping, stock raising. and many other
kinds of 81 business" to occupy several acres of
valuable mining lands. We think then the bill.
before it becomes ii law, should specify some
definite space of ground, to be exempt from
the operation of the local mining laws of the
district" for building purposes. There should
be no uncertainty about the matter, otherwise
great wrong may be done to the interests of the
mass OF miners.
A Bill for Act for The protection of Omners Of
Building Lots IN the Mining Districls-Lttro-
duced by Mr.. Damley
The People Of the State of California, represented

SECTION l. All lots upon which buildings are

legitimate business, or for residence, are

Sec .. The owners or persons who occupy
such building lots, are hereby guaranteed ,h,
peaceabe possession OF the same, and so much
space appertainipg and belonging thereto as is
necessary TOR purposes of business or convent
ence OF residence, until the Congress Of the Uni
ted States shall enact laws III reference to such
grounds.
