tween this place and Sacramento, is again
to be the scene of festivity and amusement
on the evening of the 25th of next month

terpsichorean art can wish for.

AMERICAN JEws-The S. F. Sun, in q
very sensible article upon the present con
dition Of Jews, closes with the following
paragraphs:
The American jew is only less proud Of
his country than Of his religion. To 8ay
that be is a mere dweller upon the SOIL be.
cause it affords him the means of support,
is to libel the most noble traits of his Char
acter. The graves of his ancestors are
around him. His heaven is as near to him
on the golden shores Of the Pacific, as upon
the sacred Mount of Olives, or within The
classic walls Of Jerusalem. His God is ON.
nipOtent, omnipresent and omniscient. Tie
has knelt before that Awful Presence alike
on the deserts Of Arabia and the frozen
zones of Siberia; and why should he here
where the law recognizes his religion and
his political privileges, withhold an affection
to which he is impeIled by every considem.
ton of prosperity to himself, and future
happiness to his children?
His respect for our laws is shown in the
fact that he seldom violates them. His
wealth has gone towards building up and
enriching our cities. He cultiyateS the
arts, and goes heart and soul with our ac-
tive citizens in every useful enterprise lie
quarrels but little; heads a mob-neyer-
You will find him in our Courts of Justice
on the Bench, at the Bar, in the Jury box
but seldom ever arraigned for a henOw
criminal offence. This is the American
jew. Let his good qualities be imitatel-
his bad ones should be forgotten.

Turks, 10000; French, 10000; Eng

taking into account the mortality on board
the ships OF war and the transports, and
among the laborers of different kinds at
tached to the troops, and the losses Of the
Austrian armies Of occupation and obser

may be assumed that from 100000 to 60O,
90 men have perished or become inYalided

A contemporary, after carefully re-
viewing the result Of the various State
elections which have been held within
the past month, concludes with the
following pertinent remarks: when
therefore, all the circumstances attend
ing the recent elections are taken into
consideration when it is remembered
that the American party is still in It's
infancy; that it is to some extent with
out leaders, and that nearly all the old
politicians Of both parties are banded
together against it; when. too. il is
considered that the opp sition was
thoroughly organized, and ably con-
Quoted. and already in power in all the
States named above, with single cx-
ception. while the American party was
without leaders-when all the circum-
stances are duly weighed. It seems to
us the result. If not a substantial VIC
tory Of the American party, is at least
full Of hope and encouragement
We can see no cause why one who
has put his hands to the plough.
should turn back; but every reason
why he should push forward. and new
er rest from his labors. until he shall
have accomplished the work that is
before him. Never has q party ac-
complished so much within so short a
period. fa
1t is anything but respectable TO sup
pose man viii quit the American
party at the suggestion OF any paper
or leader. To do so would be con-
fession Of error and ignorance. II
would be an acknowledgment that he
joined the party without a fixed pur-
pose, and out Of sheer curiosity or
ihoughtlessness. Nay--it would be
al act Of selfcondemnation, Of politi-
cal suicide, for which he would receive
credit from neither party. No-let
Americans stand firm as their fathers
did before them. There may be fea-
lures Of the movement which they do
noq like but these will be Topped of
as Il grows older and wiser while NIL
that 10 good win remain. Our only
reason for supporting the party Is the
desire TO improve the naturalization
laws. and TO check the "wild hunt af.
ter Office" Beyond this we have no
desire to go. and until this Is accom'
plished we shall be seduced from our
purpose neither by the insidious ap-
peals Of the opposition nor the fright
ful demonstration Of the "seven head
