The admirers Of Fremont in sew.
eral places in the Atlantic states
have held meetings and re-nominatec
him as candidate for the Presidency
in 1860. This is somewhat earlier
than Presidential campaigns usually
open, and it would be something ex-
traordinary for the Republican party
to remain of the same mind, even
should they remain in existence, fol-
that length of time. 1t is a spasmodic
party, and may meet with natural
death before the close O. Mr.. Bu-
chanan's brilliant administration.
What is to become of Seward, Hale
and other leaders of the Republican
party? Do those who are now re
nominating Fremont, suppose that
their leaders will quietly submit to
be thrust aside, and to remain in the
rear of such a ticket as has lately
been defeated before the people9 We
opine not. But the Republican par
ty will never be in as favorable posi-
tion again, as they were in the last
campaign. 1t may not be impohtic
to permit the next election to 90 to
the House of Representatives,. The
organization of a sectional party like
that of the Republicans, has inaugu-
rated the era of three parties, and
the millennium will have to arrive, be-
fore they can thrust President upon
the nation with uch a platform as
they bore aloft in the last campaign.
But make your game, gentleman
Republicans, as early as you please.
The democracy viii take Your actions
into consideration, if your party is
in existence during the summer of
1860.

THERE is not person whose name
has been mentioned in connection
with the office Of Speaker Of the As
sembly, whom we would not rather
see fill that position, than General
Estell, of Marin. He may be well
qualified, but it is poor compliment
to the Democrats who compose a
large majority of that body, to say
that he is the best qualified of them
all for that responsible POSITION
Even if this was the fact, we should
still think it bad policy to elevate so
recent a convert to the Democratic
faith to such dizzy hight. General
Estell proved himself a master poll
tician, in his management of the X.
n. Convention last year; but he
must excuse us for intimating that he
will find the Assembly elect much
more intelligent body of men, than
that over which he welded so much
influence while member of the X.
n. order. He handled his cards so
well then, that he is now about the
only one of all the hosts then as
sembled that has an ante left. We
welcome him back to the Democratic

the prodigal, and would kill the fatted
calf, mot the General) &C., because
the scripture informs us that there is
more rejoicing over one sinner that
repenteth, than over ninety-nine just
persons who need no repentance, but
he should occupy a back seat during
his probationary term. Ifhe should
be elected Speaker. we shall consider
him "dern'd green," for not bidding
for the Senatorship.
But there are plenty of men who
have remained steadfast in the Dem
cratic faith, and to such should the
posts of honor be given. Such Dem
ocrats as Sweezy, O'Niell, Irwin,
Hall, &c., who have remained true
to the party in It's darkest hours, are
men, either Of whom would ell the
position with credit and honor. The
General is the favorite candidate Of
the Town Talk. The opposition

and sectional agitators who origina-
ted the Republican party, seized up
on the railroad project, and denied
that any other party, or even the
people, would, could or should build
the road. According to their argu-
ments, everybody outside Of the Re
publican party was opposed to a ma
tional railroad, and since their defeat
and their own explosion, they main
tain their consistency in this one
point at least, and aver that the Pa
cifc railroad has an existence only
with the exploded and obsolete doc
trines of former times-such as
"Symmes' Hole''-"Miller's Day OF
Judgment" sc. We doubt not had
the Republicans obtained the power.
but what they would have commenced
the road on "Joe Miller's day Of
Judgment" and run it straight into
"Symmes' Hole" This may have
been their calculation, since they are
so ready to associate these doctrine
since their defeat.
The sayings and doings of the Re
publican party will have but little, i
any effect upon progress Of the coun
try. We believe their power fo
evil has passed. Tney can no NOR
hinder the construction of the At
lantic and Pacific Railroad, than the,
can build one. There have beer
croakers in every step OF onward
progress that our country has mad
under democratic rule. Let then
croak. The democracy will buil'
the road nevertheless.

of San Francisco.
IT is a source of qualification to
the settlers of California, that the
land grabbing spirit SO long prevalent
here, has received a check. The
Indictment of Limantour by the
Grand Jury of San Francisco, Is the
first important and earnest move by
the authorities i'll opposition to the
system of fraud which has continued
on, hitherto unchecked, In appropri-
ating the agricultural lands of the
State, and, in some instances, the MN
eral lands also. 1t appears from the
evidence adduced before the Grand
Jury that the Limantour Grant,
which bears date in February, 1913,
was made in the City of Mexico, in
1852. The signature of Michelto-
rena, it is said, is genuine, probably
signed by the Mexican authorities in
blank, as many others have undoubt-
edly been, and the possessors have
had the privilege Of locating such
fraudulent claims wherever it would
prove the most profitable. Under
this arrangement, Limantoar struck
at the very heart of California, the
City of San Francisco, including the
Farralone and Alcaltraz Islands,
The claim thus forged, was unremit-
tingly pushed towards confirmation,
and had been confirmed by the board
of Commissioners. One land grab
bing rascal is about gettinghis de-
serts. When shall others, who have
floated grants almost from one end Of
the State to the other, be brought to
their reckoning?
There is scarcely a reasonable
doubt but that some of the grants
III this immediate vicinity, are as
worthless as that Of Limantour. The
denounced and forfeited grant known
as Larkin's, in all probability comes
no nearer being a just one. 1t is
now located ON mineral lands-has
been foated to its present location
for the purpose of covering the rich
gold fields, extensive coal beds, lime
quarries and quartz lodges of the
North Fork Feather River.
So too, with the grant known as
Huber's. This grant, pronounced
by those who ought to know, to be a
fraud, it is said, embraces within its
boundaries, the site of Oroville. So
certain is it that every locality likely
to become valuable, is brought within
the boundaries of one of these patent
India rubber Mexican Grants. But
it is some satisfaction to know that
one Of these spectators is about re-
ceiving his deserts, and it may have
a tendancy ''To quiet land titles in
California"

We have received from DIR. Wo-
zencraft pamphlet copy of an ad-
dress delivered by him, upon the
subject of the Atlantic ani Pacific
Railroad. The Doctor is evidently
not amongst those who believe that
the result Of the recent election was
declaration against a National
railway but believes that the road
can be built if the people take hold
of it in determined manner. In a
government like ours, it is necessary
that the people should be unanimous
in demandir a work of this kind,
before government will lend It's aid
to the e terprise. The inhabitants
of California, and we believe of the
entire Pacific coast, are unanimous
in demanding the construction of the
road. A large majority of the States
have declared III its favor, and it is
time that this capital was taken from
the politician and made available to
the people of the Union.
The address sets forth many
strong and reasonable arguments III
favor of the construction of the road
on the route along the forty-frst
parallel, through Noble's Pass, and
thence down the Sacramento Valley
to Benicia. His review of the
southern route, shows the utter folly
of building great railway over
eleven hundred miles of desert, in
habited only by ''horned toads," and
upon which a "Coyote could not get
an honest living" The address also
states what We have always supposed
to be fact, thatit is impossible to
builda railroad from San Diego to
San Francisco.
The Doctor is evidently determin-
ed to be of some service in this i'm
portant work, and to arouse public
sentiment to just appreciation of
the advantages it would confer. He
has long interested himself in this
subject, and three years since, made
a survey Of Mobiles Pass during mid
winter. We commend the address
to the public.

this one OF the most import
ant moves that could be made. This
matter has heretofore been before our
Board of Supervisors, but owing to
outside influences, license has not
been granted to establish and keep
ferry at that point. 1t is important
that the travel from that section Of
country should be turned through
Oroville, as it would add materially to
our business and commercial import
ance. We trust our present Board
Will divest themselves of interested
influences, and view the matter in
the light best calculated to advance
the interests of Oroyille and the
county.
DID it ever occur to the citizens Of
Oroville that a neglect to have a
ferry established at the Junction Of
the North and Middle Forks Of
Feather River, was retarding the
growth and prosperity of the town
more than all other disadvantages
combined? Suppose Oroville had
the facilities for furnishing goods as
cheap as Marysville, We could not
then secure the trade of the country
living between those branches Of the
river mentioned above, and Of Plu-
mas county, for the simple reason
that our roads and bridges are SO To-
Gated as to direct the trade Of that
section to Marysville. 1t is noto-
rious fact that, as the roads are now
laid out and established, it is quite as
easy for the pack trains from Plumas
County, and from the vicinity of the
Peavine, Mountain House and Jacks
Ranch, to 90 to Marysville as to come
here, and this too, while the last
point named is distant from Jacks
Ranch about thirty five miles, and
Oroville is only distant from the same
point some nine or ten miles, was
there means of crossing the river at
the junction.
It is urged by those who are in
terested in sending the travel thro'
Bidwell, and thence to Marysville,
that if the county grant license tc
establish a ferry at the junction, the
county will have to incur an enor-
nous expense in building road from
Oroville to the junction. This does
not necessarily follow, the establish
ment Of a ferry at that point. The
travel along the road would soon
build it, as it did the road above
Bidwell, through a more difficult
section of country. All that is de-
sired at present, is to give the trayel
from the mountains a chance to cross
the river at that point, if they choose
to do so. We believe the distance
from Jacks Ranch through Oroyille
to Marysville, is less than through
Bidwell to the same place. Stage:
leaving Morysville at six O'Clock, az
rive in Oroville, which is within ten
miles Of Jacks Ranch, between nine
and ten o'clock, and those that leave
at the same hour for Bidwell, whicl
is within four miles of Jacks Rancl
seldom arrive at their destination un-
til twelve O'Clock. Our citizens car
judge from this whether the noun
tain travel would find its way thro
Oroville, would our Board of Super
visors render it possible to do so BY
establishing ferry or bridge at the
Junction. Will our merchants and
others who are interested in the pros
perity Of the town, give this subject
a little attention and demand thai
the travel be no longer driven from
us, for the benefit Of other places.

Snow IN THE MoUNTAINs.-Mr Haslam
who arrived here yesterday from the " Sky
High diggings, about twenty-fiv miles
above Bidwell says that in the neighborhood
of that place the snow is seven or eight feet
deep and the weather almost as cold as that
of New England winter. Mining opera
tions will of course be suspended during the
winter at those localities in the mountains
where the ground is covered so completely
with snow, but the rains and thaws of spring
will furnish such an abundance Of water as
has never been afforded since the winter and
spring of '53. We may very safely calculate
upon =" flush times" during the coming
spring and summer, and diggings that have
long remained unworked and unavoidable,
will yield up rich store of gold.

HE News brought by the steamer
Sonora will be found in another col
umn. It will be seen that Buchanan
has received one hundred and seven
ty-four electoral votes, Fremont one
hundred and fourteen, and Fillmore
eight. Pennsylvania, the gallant
Old Keystone, gives Buchanan a
clean majority over all opposition,
of S24, and a majority of p, ,162

Pennsylvania has not disappointed US,

One Of the most important and
immediate wants of Oroville, is a
bridge across Feather River at this
point, connecting US with Thomp-

prises and Improvements in that Vi
cinity, render it important tina. Oro-
vile should secure the trade and
travel of that vicinity, and possess

vigilance men go to Washington, let
them convene their Legislative and

The State authorities have more
important duty to discharge than tc
place men in office to do the dirty
work Of a corrupt mob. They will
elect men who, when they swear tc
support the constitution of their coun-
try will do it. Otherwise there is nc
necessity for going through the for
mula of a legal election, or of swear
ing officers to support the constitu-
ton. But why should the Vigilance
organs appeal to the authorities tc
elect vigilance men? Wasn't the
revolution complete? and can't the
committee elect their own men? A
day or two since the Bulletin en-
dorsed ex-senator Gwin as a sympa-
thizer with the committee. 1t is
well known that the present Editor
of the Bulletin long held appoint
ment under Mr.. Latham, in the Gus
tom House. The Bulletin favors the
election of Messrs. Gwin and Latham.
We opine that such support will do
those gentlemen a vast deal more in

is to elect two United States Sena-
tors.
