A MoTIvE FOR STUDY.-One of the
best methods of rendering study agreeable
is to live with able men, and to suffer all
those pangs of inferiority which the want
of knowledge always inAicts. Nothing
short Of some powerful motive can drive a
young person, in the full possession of
health and bodily activity, to such an un-
natural and such an unobvious mode of
passing life as study But this is the way
intellectual greatness often begins. The
trophies of Miltiades drive away sleep. A
Young man sees the honor in which living
genius is held, the trophies by which it is
fadorned after life, it receives and enjoys
from the feelings of men, and from their
sense of duty but men never obey this
feeling without discharging the first of all
duties; without securing the rise and
growth of genius, and increasing the dig.
nifty of our nature, by enlarglng the do
mination of mind. No eminent man was
ever yet rewarded in vain no breath OF
praise was ever lavished upon him /; it has
never been idle and foolish to rear up
splendid monuments to his name the
rumor of these impels young minds to
their noblest exertions, creates in them an
empire over present passions, lnures them
TO the severest tolls, determines them to
live only for the use of others, and to leave
q great and lasting memorial behind them.
National Characteristics Of Wonsaa.-

English woman love is principle; with
French woman-caprice; with an Italian
it is passion; with an American it is SEN

lady; united to French woman; cohablts

cure lord, French woman companion;
an Italian lover; an American a husband.
The Englishman respects his lady the
Frenchman esteems his companion the
American loves his wife. At night the
Englishman returns to his house the
Frenchman to his establishment ; the ltal-
ian to his retreat the American to his
home. When an Englishman is sick, his
lady visits him when a Frenchman is
sick, his companion pities him when an
Italian is sick his mistress sighs over him /;
when American is sick his wife nurses him;
when an Englishman dies, his lady is be-

I EFT all who wish to purge the blood from

of Yellow Deck and Sarsaparilla," which is
proving itself an antidote for many of the most
malignant diseases that flesh is heir to, and
they will never be disappointed; for in this
remedy the public faith has never wavered-
never can waver for it is founded on expe
rence, just as their want of faith in other

invaluable remedial agents from which DR..
Guysott's Improved Extract of Yellow Dock

of these roots in their perfection. His pre-

ties of the roots combined and concentrated
in their utmost strength and efficacy.
Experiments were made in the manufacture
of this medicine until it was found that it
could not be further improved.
Accordingly, we find it resorted to almost
universally in cases of Hepatic, Scorbutic
and Cutaneous complaints for general pros

tormenting diseases Of the skin so trying the
patience and so injurious to health.

PoBlr1cs IN Los ANGELEs.-The Los
Angeles Star places at the head of its
columns the names of Messrs. Denver,
Herbert, and Leake, nominated by the
ajority Democratic Convention. In an
article urging the democracy to support
this ticket, the Star says: AS Demo-
cratic Journal we can have no hesitation
as to the course we should pursue under
! the singular and peculiar circumstances
under which our party finds itself at the
present time. Which of the two that
made nominations at Sacramento was the
Democratic Conventions? Let us apply
that rule which should be and is the fun
damental rule of our party to the solution
Of this squestion-where did majority Of
the Democratic. delegates assemble? Up
on a call of the counties, it appeared that
a large and overwhelming majority Of the
representatives of the democracy were
assembled at Musical Hall, and hence we
hold that our party fealty ls due to the
snominees Of that convention Ard we
further find that this convention is the
Democratic convention, because it sympa-
thises with and supports the Democratic
Administration, while the Carpenter
Building Convention affords no such test.

ing at Wisconsin Hill.

At large and respectable meeting of
democrats convened at the Broadway
House, Wisconsin Hill, j. R Sites was
called to the Chair, and J Tomlinson,
appointed Secretary; whereupon the
Chairman in brief and pertinent man
ner explained the object of the meeting
to be the ratification of the nominations
made at Auburn, ut the regular Demo-
cratic Convention, on the 7th July, 1854.
On motion of R. C. Poland, commit
tee of three were appointed by the chair
to draft resolutions expressive Of the
sense of the meeting, whereupon the
chair appointed r. C. Poland, A. j. Bish-
op and J. R. Pile, who, after retiring for

lutions which were read to the meeting:
RESOLVED, That we ratify and confirm
the regularly. nominated Democratic tick
ct made at Auburn by the Convention of
the 7th July, 1854, and we pledge our
selves to use all honorable means in, our
power to elect the candidates therein
named.
Resolved, That that portion of the del
egates to the democratic convention of
Placer county, who seeded from the reg
nlar convention and forming themselves
into Bogus convention, we entreat them
to lay down their weapons of warfare
against the Democracy of California, or
to 60 over at once and join the Federal
Party and no longer continue to divide
tha Of oto
with their longing after public plundcr.
Resolved, That whereas it always has
been one of the cardinal principles of the
democracy that the representative of a
free people should obey the will of his
constituents, and whereas the Hon. G.. A
Tuttle, one of the Senators from Placer
county, from this Divide, has during the
late session of the California Legislature
misrepresented a large portion Of his con-
stituency, therefore, we, the people, do
most respectfully request the said futile
to resign his seat in the Senate, that we
the electors of Placer county, may have
an opportunity at the ensuing election to
elect one who will not misrepresent us.
a On motion, the resolutions were taken
up severally for adoption, whereupon
j. Patterson, Esq, was called upon to
give the meeting an account of the acts
and doings of the county convention

of the resolutions, which was received
with general applause, after which the
resolutions were adopted without dis
sentlng voice.

ry having been requested to make full
