The Duty of the Governor.

Mr.. EDlroR.-We take the following to be 10.
litcal axioms
The Constitution and laws of this State are si
preme. and the constituted authorities are bound
to see them obcyed strictly.
The fact that a majority of the people are op
posed to the enforcement of particular law can
not affect the duty Of the authorities to enforce
that law while it remains law-tor one object of
government is to prevent a physical majority from
trampling on the rights Of minority
An armed resistance TO the law is rebellion
and the authorities are bound by their oaths so to
regard it, and so regarding it to make every en-.
deavor to quell it.
In case of dire necessity the People have
right to revolutionizc; when the laws either BY
their own corrupt nature, or by the manner in
which they are administered, become inadequate
to protect life and property, and leave the dearest
rights of the citizens exposed to practical viola
ton. The people then. and not till then, have a
right to protect themselves.
As to the eXistance Of this dire necessity the
people must themselves be the Judges, and one Of
the best tests Of its existence is the belief Of 4
large majority Of the community that such is the
| fact.
There may be quasi revolution; that is. peO
pie may rise and nuiy and refuse 10 obey the laws
! in some particular parts, or for some singular OBJ
cct, and yet leave untouched the great mass Of
power untouched in the hands Of government.
The whole includes the part, ard if they may
overthrow the whole government. they may super
cede it in part. If they can retract all Of the
delegated powers they may retract so much and
such part as they see fit.
The rising in San Francisco is quasi reyolu-
ton. 1t came from dire nccessity-so the people
have decided. 1t is supported by a vast majority
Of the citizens Of the State. 1t has in view The
eticcting Of one particular object, and its authors
propose when that is accomplished, and while it Is
being accomplished, in all other respects to con-
time their allegiance.
Under this view might not the State anthori'
ties properly have taken steps to support the r.
sing so long as its character remained undeler
mined, and yet when it is apparent that the al
most unanimous voice of the people has decaredt II
of dire necessity l. e. proper case for revo'
luton might it not become their duty to Wh-
draw their opposition.
Might not the Governor if uncertain OF the
sense Of the people as to the necessity OF the re-
volt, have been right in issuing his proclamation
and yet when convinced of the verdict OF his con
stitucnts on that point, can he not consistently
withdraw it?

Masons, in conjunction with their BretbrnaN' a.
of Rising Star Lodge, No. SO. The procoa 'e"
sion was formed at the Masonic Hall at tho
hour of 4 o'clock, p. NJ, and proceeded s ~
the Union Church. The regular eyerc;s"' :"
were opened with prayers by the Cbanla;"'
Bro. Taylor, after which an eloquent orat;on fi'
was delivered by our esteemed Brother, B T
Buckley. The Grafton was one conain;nn
numerous topics of general interest and ,ss
fulness to the Brethren, relieving the frator
nifty of "many things laid to its cbarge h.,
those in darkness of its principles and mr.:
cepts, and stirring up all minds by wav y,
remembrance" to the high and holy dn,r
of education, of morals, and of charity i,
was an instructive lesson, not ohlv to ,Ls
craft, but to all others who are strictly nn
biased and unprejudiced. The great evil.
growing out Of profane swearing, intemnsr.
ance, and other popular vices, were alluded
to as being not only unmasonic but upcpn.
tlemanly and should by all means be dispens.
ed with The sick and afflicted the widow
and orphan, were spoken OF by the orator
in deep and melting tones Of sincere affection
never to be forgotten. We forbear maxine
further comments, as copy of the orationn
has been solicited for publication.
After the usual exercises at the cburcb
the procession repaired to the store formerly
occupied by II. s. Buckley, Esq, where the
good things Of this life were bountifulv
spread before us by Brother Weis The
festivities Of the evening then commenced
by reading the regular and volunteer toast,
which we will omit, as to give them would
be trespassing on your kindness. Everything
passed off in order and peace, harmony and
good feeling rel igned supreme.

THE SLooP-oF-WAR JOHN ADAMs.-The True
Californian of Monday June Esd, says:
There was rumor afOat yesterday morning,
that preemptory demand had been made for the
person of DR.. Ashe, by the Commander of the U.
S. sloop-of-war John Adams, now lying in our
harbor. There were some chivalrous spirits who
went so far to say that in half an hour the guns
Of the ship would be opened upon the city. The
only foundation for this silly rnmor was, that the
Commander of the Adams had sent letter to the
executive committee, in which he stated that his
ship had orders to sail in day or two. and that
the services of the Naval Agent, (Dr. Ashe,) were
needed to enable him to comply with them, and
that he hoped that the committee would, if not
inconsistent with their duty, set DR.. Ashe at liber
ty. so that be might attend to the duties OF his
Office We did not learn the answer of the COM
mittee, but as DR.. Ashe is still prisoner, pre-
s,ime the request must have been deeiined. d.
Ashe is held being accessory to the saabhlng OF
Hopkins.
The Alta, in its edition of the same afternoon
adds.
We are desired to say that the prisoner iourkee
has not been placed on board the Sobn Adans1
and further that she has not Snooced off Sacya-

The public are already familiar with the
leading facts regarding the attempted assas-
sination of Sterling A. Hopkins, Marshal Of
the Vigilant police, by David S. Terry, Asso-
ciate Judge of the Supreme Court; but the
accounts in the papers ofyesterday, although
in most instances correct in the main fea-
lures of the case, contain many discrepancies
which through investigation are, however,
easily accounted for. The following briet
sketch Of the events as they transpired will
1t is believed, prove correct in every particu-
lar.
