a CEMETERY Since Oroville became a
town, there has never been proper place
selected tor the burial of the dead The
present place OF interment, is one of the most
unsuitable, from the fact that it is so sur
rounded by mining claims that It's both in
convenient to approach, and is eventually
likely to be disturbed by eneroachments from
persons whose respect Tor the dead, is over
balanced by their love of gold.
With as much level ground as there is in
this vicinity. that will never be required for
mining purposes, there Is no reason why q
suitable spot should not be selected, and en-
closed as cemetry.

The State Canvass.

There never was q period in the history
Of California, when Democratic prospects
presented SO bright horizon as at the pres.
ent time. Proudly pre- eminent and nation
al in their declaration Of principles, they
tower above opposing factions, as the ma
jestic pine, above the poisonous oak, or
rs the American Republic towers above the
Republic Of Liberia. The sectional party of
Black Republicans, and the guerrilla
band" of Know Nothings who style them
selves Fillmore men," are already discom-
fitted, and beaten. Their orators no longer
adhere to the doctrines promugated in their
national and State Conventions. These
doctrines have become ''stench in the
nostriis," and political grips and signs have
lost their potency with the intelligent free.
men Of California. The opposition stumpers
feel and know this fact, and have abandoned
their platform, aud planted themselves on
"AIillard Fillmoren'
BY the Shasta correspondence Of the Ma
rysville Express, We see that the great
Know Nothing leader of California, has
repudiated the main plank i'll the Know
Nothing platform, and declared himself in
favor Of allowing foreigners te vote imme-
diately on their arrival, upon the present
alton of certificate of good character
He met Messrs. McCorkle and Bradford in a
discussion at Shasta, aud was driven from
one position to another, until he was com.
pelel to abandon his pa rty and his platform,
and vent his Indignation upon the retiring
administration Of Frank Pierce, and Hon.
JetfeI son Davis, of Mississippi, whom Pres.
ident Pierce had the good sense to appoint
cabinet minister in place Of the great

to the exposition of his true secret for op-
posing the Democracy, and itproved to be
disappointment in not receiving Office If
he has now repudiated the doctrines he ad-
vocated last year, he has shown that he was
then politically dishonest and what evi
dencc does he furnish that he is not politi-
cally dishonest now
The great political charlatan, the head
and front of the Fillmore men in California,
will come down from the northern portion
of the State, followed by a wave Democratic

A FABLE.-A young man once picked
up sovereign lying in the road. Ever
afterwards, as he walked along, he kept
his eyes fixed steadily upon the groundin
hopes to find another. And in the course
Of long life he did pick up, at different
times, goodly number Of coins. gold and
silver. But all these years, while he was
looking for them, he saw not that the
heavens were bright cbove him, and nature
beautiful around. He never once allowed
his eyes to look up from the mud and
filth in whcih he sought the treasure: and
when he died--a rich old mamie only
knew this fair earth Of ours as dirty
road in which TO pick up money as you
walk along!
