Adjournment.

The Legislature will meet again to-day,
and we hope that if there really is a Know
Nothing patriot left, he will make some Sc
rious effort to fix the day of final adjourn
ment. Known Nothing precepts have been
sadly at variance with Know-Nothing prac-
tees. The party Of shreds and patches effec-
tually fooled the people in the last canvass
with their blatant promises of reform; but
now they have won empire their promises
are forgotten. and they are uter y lost to all
sense Of shame. DO they offer any reason
able excuse for their refusal to resolve upon
the day of adjournment! Do they cOndescend
to explain to their constituents why they are
so reckless of the public interests! No.
What care they for the complaints of the
taxpayer so long as they receive their per
diem and are accounted 'Honorables' There
is very little business of public nature be-
fore the Legislature. Why, then, do they
hesitate! Do their leaders yet hope to OBJ
tain, in one shape or other, return for the
enormous expenditures of the last political
fght' We hold that the Indifference mani
tested by the Legislature in regard to the
adjournment is disgraceful to that body, and
the Know-Nothing Order shall answer for it
when the next appeal is made to the people

The Sectional Party.

The Know-Nothings are in the dark, and
are frightened at each other They hope that
they are not a sectional party, try to believe
that they are not divided upon the merits of
leading questions, and proclaim that they are
national. But the truth will out, and they
experience gloomy forebodings of what in
evitably will shortly happen. We under
stand what is going on in their minds, and
know that thousands of them are prepared
for the general explosion. The sectional fight
between the northern and southern Know
Nothings in Congress has patented the sec
tional character of the Order, and has fired
up the preiudices and passions which for a
time lay sumbering in the councils. The
Know-Nothing journals at the East them
selves proclaim that the Order must 90 be-
fore the people in the next canvass with two
distinct platforms and two Presidential can
didates; and Marshall, of Kentucky, con-
fessed that the Know Nothings, as a national
party had gone to the devil" While the
X. Ms of the south are daily growing more
decided in their proslaveryism, those at the
north are becoming wilder in their abolition
ism the gulf betwixt the two wings of the
midnight institution still widening Even in
our own State TAR removed from the turmoil
at the Capitol of the Confederacy, the same
heart -burnings and divisions exist. When
the resolution in relation to the Kansas Ne
braska question was under discussion in the
Assembly, the other day, one of the K. Ms
who voted to lay the resolution on the table,
said
''The gentleman's resolutions would be like
a fire-b brand thrown into this Hall, and might
create discord and disruption, which | am
opposed to seeing. These are the reasons
why advocate the indefinite postponement
Of this question"
An honest confession like this does our
souls good and is the best answer that can
be given to those who are foolish enough to
blind themselves with the belief that the
Know-Nothings are a brotherhood.

CLIPPER SAW MILL VS.. TGME-On Satur-
day last, says the Georgetown News, Messrs.
Warren & Co., propretors of the Clipper
Saw Mill, one mile east of Georgetown, in
order to test the rapidity with which it would
turn out lumber, put everything in good run
ming order, and let her rip, for eleven hours
and a quarter, apd the result was 1900 feet;
being nearly 700 feet per hour. The mill
contains but one saw, which is circular. 1t
will be recollected that two months since
this mill was completed and putin operation.
The propretors inform us that they have
sawed about 100000 feet of lumber, and
have now on hand logs enough to yield
100000 feet more. All their lumber is of a
superior quality, which they offer at low
figures.

SMITH e IIUBBELL's STORE Feb. 16. SO.
The Democrats of Pine Grove Precinct
met in pursuance to the call of the Demo
cratic Central Committee of Placer county.
Philip Lynch was duly chosen as Chair
man, and Lewis G. Smith, Secretary.
The Chairman briefly stated the object Of
the meeting to be to elect two Delegates to
attend the County Convention to be held in
Auburn on the 23d inst, and urged upon
the Democracy the importance Of standing
firm to their posts.
On motion, NJ X Finley and p. Lynch
were elected as Delegates to attend said
Convention.
1t was further resolved that each Delegate
be empowered to appoint proxy i'll his stead
should he be unable to attend.
On motion, it was resolved that COM
mittee of three be appointed to draft resou-
tons expressive of the sentiments of the
Democrats of this precinct. NJ X. Finley
John Grow and James Ashforth were chosen
as said committee, who presented the fol-
lowing resolutions which were unanimously
adopted.
WHEREAS, The time is fast approaching
when the Democracy Of the United States
will be called upon to battle at the ballot
box in defence of their time-honored and re-
pcatcdy endowed principles and measures.
And whereas, They have a secret and inyid-
Gus political foe now to contend against,
which is perhaps less national in its charac-
ter than the old Wing party, Gts professions
to the contrary Notwithstanding Therefore,
ReSoloed That the Democrats Of this pre-
cinct pledge themselves to use all honorable
means in the coming campaign to secure the
triumphant election Of the standard bearers
Of the Democratic party.
Resolped, That we are opposed to all secret
political or sectional parties-and especially
do we oppose the knowNothing party-be-
cause it is proscriptiye in its policy tyrani
cal in Its tendency and unable even to be-
come national party.
ReSolred, That we fully endorse the course
pursued in the State Senate 10y the Demo
Gratis therein, upon the Senatorial question
believing that California had better remain
unrepreseneI another year, than to be mis-
represented for the next five, as she doubtless
would have been if Henry $. Foote or Ewd.

chair in the L. s. Senate.
