cultivating, and with less attention
to their Sharpe's rifles, and good
deal more time spent in the cultiva-
ton of their farms, those subjects
for British pity and charity will soon
place themselves far beyond the reach
of want. Those who have gone to
the new territories to :" bleed" or in
other words to create civil war and
dissention, deserve no better fate than
4hat of lawless adventurers, while
the peaceable order loving citizens
can certainly gain comfortable live
lihood by industrious application to
their several vocations.
THE arrival of Ex-Governor Bigler
in California has been a perfect God
send to the Black Republican and
Know Nothing press. His reception
in Sacramento by large body of his
fellow citizens has furnished the Un-
ion, American and Times, with a
prolific theme, and they turn from
the great "Mystery," the legitimate
offspring of their own ignorance, tc
ridicule and abuse the Ex-Governor
and those of their fellow citizens who
turned out to welcome to Sacramento
an upright citizen and one Of its pio-
neers. Their remarkably shrewd
chaste and elegant articles about the
Ex-Governor and his reception at his
home in Sacramento, are precisely
such as might reasonably have beer
expected from those politically unfair
dishonorable, and inelegant sheets.
John Bigler was Governor of Cali
fornia for four years, whilst such pa
pers were ridiculing and slanderine
him. He is still above their shafts Of
envy, malice, and Lager Beer wit.
Let them howl on. Such articles
are congenial to the tastes of theil
authors, and have long since rendered
those sheets incapable of injurine
any one. They require the excite
ment of personal invective to cover
their confusion, caused by their granc
display of unmitigated Ignorance
over the "Mystery."
A CORRESPONDENT of the Marys
vile Express who signs himself "Na
tional Democrat" is out agains
Mr.. Broderick and in favor of Mr.
Weller, for Senator. 1t is propeI
that this correspondent should prefel
whoever he pleases for that station
but it seems to us highly impropel
for a Democrat to abuse other mem
bers Of the party because they ex
hibit like honorable ambition a.
his particular favoritcs. The party
during the late canvass were unite(
upon the principles of the campaign
but such ssNational Democrats a.
this correspondent of the Express
would divide the party by quarrellins
over the spoils, and raking up ole
feuds, and retailing old slanders, Ions
since buried, and upon the grave o
which the Democratic party hav'
held two State Conventions, and owe
which they have carried the Demo
cratic banner in triumph. No tru,
National Democrat, who is governed
by principle, should again rake W
the old feuds, and seek to divide thu
party for the purpose of securing the
spoils. 1t matters not how mucl
correspondents may urge the claim;
and peculiar fitness of their favorites
for that position, but their influence
should be powerless for good or evil,
when they seek to make political
capital by tradueing and villifying
members of their own party.
As "National Democrat has
thrown his banner to the breeze, and
declared "war to the knife, and knife
to the hilt," in opposition to all who
are candidates against his favorites,
we should like to have him give cat
egorical answers to the following in
terrogatories:
1. Did you not vote for ]. Nicely
johnson and the Know Nothing State
ticket, at the election in 1856.
9. Did you not consider it your
"Mournful duty" to defeat the Dem
ocratic nominees for the State Senate
from Yuba, Messrs. Gray and Lip
pinccst, and did you not vote against
