and will continue to do, the editorial department maynot
receive the time and attention usually bestowed upon

Those who are having paper mailed to the At

ages, and subscribe for the End Volume. Those who
have paid the first volume and desire to continue
their descriptions will please bear in mind that with
the commencement the next volume, we open books
strictly upon the advance system.
As our expenses will be necessarily increased in max
ing the proposed enlargement, hope those who desire
to see paper sustained in Butte County. will come
forward with ''the material aid recommended in our

make the .'Record" rank with the best democratic

WHO OWNS THE SHeEs AS rumor hath it
a couple in town, who had become tired of the
sweets of matrimony agreed to separate, and
some person who desired to condole with the
frail fair one in her misfortune, removed his
shoes, for he vas treading upon h,ly ground,
and in the dead hour of night, stole quietly
to the deserted bed Imagine his horror,
when he found himself in the strong grasp of
the outraged husband. In the strength of
desperation he tore himself loose and fed,
pursued by undressed Indignation. In the
darkness of night he effected his escape. A
genteel pair of shoes, fitting none Of the in

owner is requested to prove property, pay
charges, and take them away. or they will be
dealt with according to time honored usage.

MEMOIR OF J. NJ. B0ARDMAN,

lof Plymout

With emotions of deep sorrow ] sit down to
record the melancholy death of our brother,
who left the home of his childhood two years
ago the 10Th Of this month Allured with ma
ny others by the golden prospects of California,
together with seeing more Of this beautiful
earth. But alas how delusive, how transitory
is every earthly prospect, how few comparative
ly have returned of those who accompanied the
deceased. All who are acquainted with our
loved brother will join me in saying he Fas a
consistant christian. Ever preserving steady
even course in the path of virtue. His last mo-
ments is related by our friend Mr.. Harley, who
was present, as follows: On the fourth of March
he was very much injured by the falling of a
stone which lay 10 or Il feet above him. which
came with such force against his right side
and breast, as to prove fatal in less than two
hour. | was at the time some 40 rods distant
was sent for Immediately and fastened to the
place, where found them about to carry him
to the house, and surrounded by more than two
hundred persons. Five physicians were imme-
diately called in, who did all in their power. The
instrument of death had fallen too heavily for the
skill of man long to battle. l rushed TO his bed
side; he was sensible and knew me. said,
''Martn you are badly hurt" lie inquired how
bad, and if we thought he would survive. On
being informed it was doubtful, he seemed to
sink down in composure, resigned to the will OF
his God. Our Missionary soon at his side
administering words of consolation
1t is 2oclock-how calm his sleep, how sweet
ly he breathes, how swectly he sinks in deaths
embrace. At half past . he breahed his last
Ills spirit had flown to a land of bliss. He died
trusting in the merits of Christ, exclaiming, al
! is WELL His funnral sermon was preached the
next day, being Sabbath, by our Missionary
brother Petit, to large and deeply affected au-
dencc, after which large procession followed
his remains to their last lonely resting place.
Peace to his ashes-long will his name be re-
membcred. And here could long dwell upon
the loving virtues of the deceased while here IN
California But time and space not permitting,
suffice to say that lie was most exemplary
man. Adicu then loved brother. We would not
wish thee back. Thou hast only passcd. on ashort
time before us we soon shall follow. Although
we sigh {that we could not stand by thy
dying couch administering as none but a

He is particularly severe upon he au-
lhOrs and promoters OF the bill, for he
neiariOus means they have adopted TO
forward he scheme. He says:
Sir, it is The crooked, insidious. and pu-
sillsnimous way Of efecting The repeal Of
the Missouri compromise line, IL con-
cludes all law for the sake Of leaving out
one Law, md effects a repeal by an omis-
sion, and legislaies by an exception. IL
Is new way OF repeating law, and
bungling attempt To smuggle slavery into
The Territory, and all the country orl TO
the Canada line, and up 10 the Rocky
Mountains. The crooked line Of this
smuggling process is this : "Abolish the
compromise line, and extend the ConsIi-
tuition over the country I; the Constitution
recognizes slavery, therefore slavery is
established as soon as the line is abolished
and the Constitution extended, and being
put there by the Constitution il cannot be
legislaied out This is the English ol
| is smuggl ng process and Ger ainly
nothing more unworthy Of legislation,
more derogatory TO legislative body, was
ever attempted 10 be made into law. Sir,
tie Constitution was not made for Terri
tories, but for States. lis provisions are
all applicable TO States, and cannot be puI
into operate n in Territories. They can
not vnie for President, nr Vice President
or members of Congress, nor elect theIr
own officers, or prescribe the qualifica'
ion of voters, or administer their own
laws by their own judges, sherifis, and
attorneys, ar d the clause extending the
Constitution to them is cheat and an it,
luson and trick 10 smuggle slavery into
Territory. Nor is it intended that they
shall have any legislative right under the
! Constitution, even in relation 10 slavery.
They may admit il because it is to be
there by the Constitution they cannot
exclude it because the Constitution puts
it there. That is the argument, and il
is a juggle worthy of the trick of one
egg under three hats at the same time
and under neither at any time. Besides
the Constitution is an organic, not an ad
ministra,ive act 1t is code of princi
pies, not of laws. Not a clauae in i
can be executed, except by virtue of ;
law made under it, not even the clause @
recovering fugitive slaves.
Benton has driven the last nail into III,
coffin Of the Nebraska bill.
