Temperance Movements.

The following resolutions were recently
passed by Wisconsin Hill Division of the Sons
of Temperance:
WHEREAS, Intemperance in the use of in
toxcating drinks tends only to debase man
mentally, morally and physically, and pro-
duces, directly or indirectly nine-tenths OF
the misery, degradation and crime in our land.
And, whereas, it is the province of law, to
protect the community from such evils and
to foster intelligence, virtue and wealth.
Therefore,
Resolved, That the time has fully arrived
for the enactment of a stringent PrOhibitory
Liquor Law for California.
ResOlUed That as temperance men and wo-
men We will not aid in the coming election
any man to any Office of honor or trust within
our gift, except he be temperance man, and
in favor of the enactment of a ProhibitOry
Liquor Law for this State.
Resoiued That the r. S. be requested to
forward copy of these resolutions to each of
the Divisions in this county, and invite their
cooperation.

County Convention.

On the 6fst page of to-day's issue we pub
lish the proceedings of the County Conven-
tion held in Auburn on Saturday last. A
number of the precincts. mostly on the rivers,
were unrepresented, owing, no doubt, to the
busy season of the year, when men are busly
engaged in preparing their claims for summer
work. We hope, however, when the conven-
tion re-assembles on the l4th July. every pre-
cinct in the county will be represented.
The democracy should remember the enemy
are wide awake and hard at work, gathering
into their net all they can coax or delude.
Then let all arouse to the importance of the
work!

China Town.


Since the fire some of our enterprising cit
izens have conceived the idea of building a
town on the hill for our Chinese citizens No
sooner thought of than done-California like.
In strolling through the suburbs few even
ings since, we counted not less than twenty
five houses for the Mongolians Messrs. John
son and McDaniels are erecting fourteen of
them, besides Bishop, Fisher, Wheeler, and
others, who are engaged in this enterprise.
We are informed that some of the leading
Cinnamon of Sacramento City and San Fran
cisco were here a few days since, and wished
to contract for twenty-five more houses, and
agreed to fill them all with tenants. 1t is in
contemplation, we believe, by them to make
Auburn "head quarters" for the counties of
Ell Dorado, Placer, and Nevada.
Certain it is that our town is going ahead
at rapid rate. and bids fair to be larger than
it ever was, and we doubt not it's growth is
accelerated by this contemplated movement
of the Chinese
In connection with this, we notice the for
ward state of Mr.. Culbertson's Water Works
He has already got his trenches dug and
part of the pipes laid, and soon all Chinadom
will be supplied with fresh spring water.

Hartford Convention.

Among the resolutions passed by this noted
Convention, we publish the one below. II
embodies the quintessence of Know Nothing
ism. The few Democrats of our county who
have Joined this order, and who have hereto
fore opposed federalism in all its guises should
remember that the very men who composed
the Hartford Convention were few years
before the warm supporters of John Adams
the head and front of the federal party:
Resolred, That no person who shall here
after be naturalized citizen of the United
States. shall be eligible as member OF the
Senate or House of Representatives OF the
United States, nor be capable of holding any
civil Office under the authority of the United
States.
In contradistinction to this we present the
opinions of Thomas Jefferson, the 'father the
Democratic party" in this Union, who was ele-
waited to the Presidential chair over Mr.
Adams, because of his just and liberal prin-
ciples-contending for the rights of all as
guaranteed under the Constitution of our COM
mon country. Mr.. Jefferson says:
"Our civil rights have no dependencies on
our religious opinions, MORE than our opin-
ions in physics and geometry. To prescribe
any citizen as unworthy the public confidence
by laying upon him an incapacity OF being
called to offices of trust and emOlument unless
he profess or renOunce this or that religious
opinion, is depriving him injuriousy of those
privileges and advantages to which, In COM
mon with his tellow-citizens, he has natural
right. 1t tends also, to corrupt the princi-
Piles of the very religion it is meant to encOur-
age by bribng with monopoly of worldly
honors those who will externally profess and
conform to it, Every person has an equal
right to the honor and confidence of his fellow
citizens, resulting, NOT FROM BIRTH, BUT
FROM HIS ACTIONS, and their sense Of them.
To this we add the Endorsement of George
Washington:
1.-The bosom of America is open to receive,
not only the opulent and respectable stranger,
but the oppressed and prosecuted of ALL Ma
TIONS and of ALL RELIGIONS, whom we
shall welcome to a participation in ALL OUR
RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES"
We invite every Democrat who has thought
lessly connected himself with the Know No
thing order to consider we'll the above, and be
sure that he has not entered into compact
with set of men whose highest aim is to
overthrow the principles of the Democratic
party.

Mysterious Disappearance.

A gentleman by the name of Mr.. A. W.
Alexander, an old resident of Sacramento
city, came to Dutch Flat in this county, some
six weeks ago, for the benefit of his health.
Mr.. A. has been subject to attacks of epilepsy.
In the cool of the day he would take his ac-
customed walk. On Saturday evening last,
about o'clock, he started from his boarding
house, and when last seen was about half a
mile from Dutch Flat on the emigrant road,
since when he has not been seen, nor no trace
can be found of him. 1t is feared by his wife
and friends, that he has been attacked with
his fearful disease and died in some obscure
spot or recovering partially, is wandering
about in an insane condition. If such should
be the case, and any person discovering Mr..
Alexander will confer lasting favor upon his
distressed wife by sending word to Dutch Flat
of his whereabouts.
