Democrats Attend.

The State Convention will assemble in the
early part of March in Sacramento. for the pur-
pose of elecing Delegates 10 the Cincinnati G IN
vention, and the different county committees
should be at work giving notices tor our coun-
ty conventions and rallying the Democracy, SO
that we may have full and fair representation
from the great North.
There has never been time since the organ
ization Of parties, when it so eminently became
the duty of the Democracy TO act. Next fall we
will be called upon to vote, not only for MEM
bers of Congress, Representatives in our State
Legislature and county officers. but President.
The election is important in itself. but re-
cent defeat as we believe, arising from our
own apathy, ought TO make every Democrat.
every anti Know Nothing, every true lover of
republican government, as we received it from
the hands of our revolutionary teachers, see
that we are not again defeated through the
same cause.
The chairman of our county committee should
at once call meetings in the precincts, and fix
the time for our county Convention, so that del
egates elected, can have time to arrange their
affairs and attend the State Convention on the
fifth day of March. We have only some four
weeks for action, and the rains and SHOWS will
impede our meeting together.

"The world is Governed TOO Much. ,,

Too much legislation is evil from which
every State in the Union suffers. There is no
danger of too little.
In this State we have adopted the Common
Law of England as the basis of our laws and as
the rule in the absence of all statutory provi
sions. That common law is broad enough to
cover all our rights excepting such as have aris
en- from the peculiar circumstances under which
we were admitted into the Union, and provides
for all our general wants, and the only legisla-
tion we need, is little, touching such local in
terests as may exist. Almost every subject of
legislation has received attention, and we see
very little need for more. If the laws in exist
ence should be somewhat d i., tive 10 the eyes
of some. still in remedy ng one defect, we may
create new ones, and Legislators in our opinion
should touch existing laws very cautiously. All
our laws must aecessarily. in the United States
be based on broad principles of right, and al
though there may be a better way of admins
tering them, still, society will generally accom-
odate itself to any law that has right and truth
rs its corner stone and foundation. For instance
the rules of proceeding in courts, may not
be as speedy, or so clear as legislative wisdom
might have made them, the practice may not
be altogether free from doubt TO the casual read
er, but is that sufficient reason for changing
iti Many doubts have been settled by opinions
from the Supreme Court, and these questions
are forever set at rest.
So it is in regard to any and every other law.
You can pass very few laws which will not be
subject to different construction from different
persons, and to settle the true construction, re.
sort must be had 10 our courts.
In changing laws therefor, you most generally
throw away the labor of your courts and cause
additional labor and expense, which the people
themselves have to pay. Then with what eau
tion should law once placed upon our statute
books be disturbed. Nothing but an urgent,
irresistible necessity should excuse legislator
for tampering with the laws of our land. No
desire for notoriety, no pride of feeling at see-
ing ones "name in print" will, we hope, actu-
ate single legislator in his action this winter.
The Session should be short one, and if
members are seeking popularity. or if they only
have the good of their constituents at heart, their
course we think, should be to let well enough
alone, aud return TO their usual avocations, for
almost every branch of industry is represented
in your persons. and the country needs your
services as citizens, much more than as politi-
clans.
We know that we but reflect the wishes of
all classes, when we make the suggestions
above.

tn. sacramento Trail to Yrck~.

From the advertisement found elsewhere IN
this weeks Courier, it will be seen that Mr.. Nc
Leod has finished his pack trail from this place
to Yreka. Mr. Mel. is coufdent that 1t posses
ses advantages over the Scots mountain trail
and requests the public TO test the truth OF his
opinion by experiment. He says that there are
convenient points for camping with fnii sup
ply OF hay for mules. and that the snow has new
er been over twenty inches deep at any point
on the whole route, and that tins impeachment
even, has been overcome, by driving oxen over
the road, thus breaking away the SHOWS. 1t the
road really possesses the advantages which 1t is
said TO have overlhe other, the travelling public
will not be long in finding it out. These pack
trails are generally pioneers, and but the fore
runners of wagon and carriage roads Its whole
length is along the Sacramento river, which is
followed, until what is bold navieable stream,

war Debt of the State of California with the U

cept for the same. The bill will have to pass

before it becomes law. Dr. Bates was his

We are inclined to think that the bill will pas S

ing service in these Indian wars, have reason to
complain of the delay, and we hope their claims
may be speedily settled A greater portion Of

WEAvERvILLE DEMocRAr.-This weekly jour-
nal has changed hands, and is now owned by
Seaman & Gordon, and edited by II. Sea-
man, Esq. 1t will hereafter be known as the
Trinity Journal.
From its advertising columns we should think
it was ina fiourishing condition, and we feel con-
fdent that it will lose nothing by its editorial
change. Mr.. Seaman is gentleman of intelli-
gence, and if industry and desire to make his
paper entertaining, will accomplish it, we feel

From Yrckn and the North.

The news from the North, through the Yreka
Union, is not very important The grea, ditch
is nearly completed only nine miles being un.
finished, and ample subscriptions are made to
entirely complete it.
The Indian depredations in Oregon have cans.
ed public meetings. in which they represent
very great suffering and loss of life among the
whites. and suggest. may be seen from the
subjoined Resolution, that treaty of friendship
and amity be formed between the whites and
Indians We have very little faith in Indian
treaties. but even temporary suspension of hos
tlities is consummation devoutly TO be wished.
The meeting was held in Jacksonville, and is
said to have been very fully attended. Here is
the resolution however, which speaks for itself:
Resolved, that committee be appointed by
this meeting. who shall, in connection with The
Indian Agent or other authorities adopt the ap.
propriate means TO secure friendly interview
with the chiefs. and offer them the liberty to se-
lect from the whites, those in whom they have
confidence, for the purpose of holding general
council, for the purpose of inquiry into all mat
ters OF mutual grievance. and to ascertain upon
what terms an honorable adjustment can be
mad~-in the mean time. agree upon terms to
supend hostilities, until final settlement can be
completed.

c.v. F..,c,. speech before she X. N. Cas-

How gratifying it must have been tn The Dem
ocratic X. Ms. to have heard this venerable
champion Of Knownothingism, declare that he
preferred Maiard Fillmore for the Presidency /!
How beautifully does this announcement accord
with his declaration, that in all his little speech
es throughout the State he had advocated the
cause Of Democracy
A change has certainly come over the spirit
Of his dream, or change has come over the po-
liiical views aud sentiments of Mr.. Fillmore, un-
known TO Us. We have seen no recantation by
Mr.. Fillmore Of any opinions hitherto entertain
ed by him, and unless there be a sort Of spirit
communication between members of the Kye
Eye party. we must think the change is in the
views of the Senator. 10 be elected.
But this spirit communication would not be
surprising between members of the Kye Eye
party, if the spirits of the dead commune togetf-
er, and it may be possible that the spirits OF
these two. distinguished dead have held con-
verse. But seriously, what can Gov. Foote have
seen in Millarl FILLMORE, that would cause him
to lend His aid to Ills elevation to the Presiden-
cy! If he be still Democrat, and il his appar-
ent secession from the Democratic party. was
only because he opposed the California Demo
cratic rulers, and tile result of any change in
his political sentiments; can he not find in the
persons of Cass, Buchanan, Dallas, Hun.
ter or Douglass exponent of true Demo-
cratic politicsl Admitting that there was cor
ruption in the administration of affairs III Cali
fornia, their spirit had not pervaded tie isaiion-
al Democracy.
We feel panied to see the exhibition of snch
want of consistency as this last act of Gov.
Foote has shown. We are satisfied that so far
from gaining anything in the estimator or tiie
members and the people whose autecedents
have been whg he will lose, and certainly that
portion of the mongrel party to which lie is at
tached, who have formerly been Democrats,
will look upon his as the basest deser-
tion. His pilgrimage through the ravines. and
over the hill tops OF our mountains, will do him
no good for the story Of the peoples wrongs
through his instrumentality will have preceded
him. and he will not be again believed, f6r1iey
will know that whatever opinion lie mar HOW
entertain will be liable to a change as circnm-
know that he has no fixed political principles.
When once politician to be governed
by principle alone, lie is bound'to place himself
in the most awkward, and embarrassing: dilenl-
mas, for lie labors with TOOLS the use OF which
he knows nothing about. and accidents and mis-
haps must occur.
1t is worse than folly to try by the advocacy
OF new principles to take the place of veterans
in service, and even should the K ~ party sue.
ceed at the coming election. the chances of Hen.
ry A. Crabb are in our opinion infinitely super
ior to Henry S. Foote. Mr.. G. has everything
to recommend him 10 the support of his party,
that Gov. Foote can boast of, besides the addi-
tional recommendation of a longer service in
The ranks of that portion of the party with which
Gov. Foote seeks to aGliate.
