Slavery.

The New York Observer, in an article
upon the past and present condition of the
negro, puts forth the following truthful re-
marks:
When the ancestors of those negroes
were torn from their homes in Africa. bv
the slave traders Of Old England and New
England, ard placed under the Influence Of
Christianity at the South, they were among
the most degraded and miserable of the
human sperirS, slaves Of cruel masters, the
victims of bloody supc,stitions, believers
IN w'tchcratt and worshippers of the
devil.
And what now is the condition of their
descendants Several years ago more than
100000 of them were members of Protes-
tant evangelical churches in the slavehold.
ing States ! About 10000 American ne
gr"es, trained chiefly ut the South trans
planted to Liberia, now rule nearly 2OO,-
900 natives of Africa, and through their
schools and churches are spreading the
light and love of the gospel in that land
Of darkness and 1,cathcnisn.
II is trne that more than nine tcntbs
OF the negroes at the South are still slaves

heathen tyrants i'll Africa? Degraded as
these slaves may still he compared with the

with the mass Of laborers in some of the
enlightened countries in Europe, can 8, 3,OoO.

slaves at the South Has Christianity,
aided by all the wealth Of British Christians,
done as much during the last twenty years
for the elevation o! the 100000 cmancpa-
ted negroes in the West Iulies, British
pl''lanthnpists themselves being the Judges
of what it has effected there rs it has done
during the same period for the elevation of
our 100000 American slaves"

Mining on the River

The Jones Claim at White Rock, is at pres
ent doing better than any Of the claims on
the river Ii is probable that no claim has
ever turned out as great an snouna oS gois'

Mr. Gaver, the president Of the Company;
that they got down towar Is the middle or

gence, relating to their operations.

GIVE US A CHURcH.-Why are we so long
in state of semi heathanism' Why don't
our citizens with and without families, use
moro exertions to erect house of worship
here? We are the inhabitants of the most
populous and thriving mining town in the
State, and probably Oroville is only second
in population to San Francisco and Sacra-
mento, yet when our preachers want to hold
forth, or any religious gathering is to be
held. it must either be done in the Theatre
or under tree, in the open mir. The pres
ent neglect Of this matter is shameful to n
degree, and as a we'll thinking community,
we ought to give it our earliest attention
and serious cnnsi ierntion.

STILL lnEY LoMn --Anulher infamous
institution has been opened and rugged out
in most gorgeous array on our principal
street, below the Ohio Stnble. The mis-
tress is the notorious courtezan from Sc NJ
mento, Nit Raymond. These hags, so long
as they are permitted to buy property and
establish themselves in their legitimate busi
ness in our CITY should be cautious t. choose
some location where respectable families do
not reside. They should be cautious about
annoying the neighbors late at night by ob-
scene language and drunken howliDgs or
they may be obliged to leave their domicils
in this community, where they are barely

SeMERsAULT ExrRAoRpINAR8,-D During

it was all for the benefit Of the County

IngoRPoRATIoS The subject Of incor-
pOratiDg the town. is exciting considerable
attention and discussion. and is meeting
with very general and determined opposi.
tion from the mining portion Of community
The question is being caRyassed in spirited
manner, and petitions for incorpor a4ion, and
remonstrances against il are circulating
freely. The law authorizing the Board OF
Supervisors TO incorporate the town, re-
quires that majority of the Inhabitants
shall petition in favor Of it, and as those
who are opposing the movement are circu
lating remonstrances in opposition thereto
it will be an easy matter Tor the Board to
determine the question. 1t is che ef those
questions which the American people deter
mine by maiorities, and whichever way 1t
may 60, We presume the rights Of tha mi
norty will be duly respected. While we
would not disturb the miner ia any of his
rights or privileges, We have favored the IN
corporation movements, because weheIieved 1t
necessary IN order 10 estaellsh an enec'lNe
police, establish and grade the streets, &c.
But should not be willing 10 do so, il we sup
posed for moment that il would prove an
obstruction to working the mines. for that
would retard the growth Of the town and
render incorporation unnecessary. Wain-
cline to the opinion that II proper course
would incor orate tho town, without 3etri-
ment or hiDdrance to the mining interest.
That interest has made 0rovlle what it now
~, and has asked nothing of laws and incor
porntions but to be let alone. Shoulla ma
jorty of the Inhabitants petition for incor-
poration. it is believed that ii can be effected
without detrment to the mining interest,
.or that is the lie and interest OF the town
itself.

STAGES TO SHAsTA.-lt is u query that
has often forced itself upon our mind, why
ii leLine OF Stages, running from Marysvllle
to Shasta should not pass through Oroville
The distance would not be increased, whilst
the route, it seems to Us. offers decided ad-
vantages over the present arrangements.
We want, and must have line of commu-
nication with the upper country, and it
seems to us that it would be a matter OF
economy in the way Of coaches, help and
horse power, for the California Stage Compa'
ny to run their stage line to Shasta through
Oroville What do the company think oft:
The necessity for stage line from Oroville
TO the upper country is not an idle specula'
tion the necessity exists in fact, and must
be accomplished, and We should be pleased
to see the company take the matter in hand
Why should they run around Orovlle
Men desiring to visit Oroville, from Shasta

Democratic Geneoiogy.

o1e OF the truest and most beautiful ex.
tracts, brought out by the present campaign
IS the following. 1t says just enough--in
the right manner and at the proper time
All of our old "ancient and honorable po-
litical foes, now admit the nationality and
conservatism Of the Democratic party, and
express themselves in readiness to vote for
its nominees, when it becomes apparent that
Mr.. Fillmore cannot succeed Its nation.
ality is only denied by a party that has no
national existence itself BY party whose
candidate has no electoral ticket in nearly
one half the States of this glorious confed-
eracy. A party whose numbers are restric.
ted by geographical limits, and who, but
half taught in the glOaious doctrines of free
government, respect not the rights CT Mi
norities, and only remember that ma jorities
rule. The sentiments of the Democratic
party are the same national sentiments,
whether expressed by its adhcrents on the
snow-clad peaks of Oregon. OF amid the
tropical lGxurance bordering upon the
Gulf Mexico. A party thus national in. its
existence, and, generous in its principles,
could sot fail to became in fact, the govern
ment of the country. And no man ever
uttered more appropriate and undeniable
truth, than did that Democratic veteran,
Daniel s. Dickinson, when he gave utter
ance to the following:
The principles involved in the great is
sues about to be tried, are, on our part, the
principles of the constitution--ot Washing
ton, Jefferson, Madison and JacksoD--prin-
ciples which germinated with the embnrkn
ton Of the Pilgpims--which found develop
ment at Lexington, Bunker Hill and York
| town--in the Declaration of Independence,
and finally i'll the formal adoption OF our
! glorious Constitution. He who Will not
maintain them is II iaithlrss and degenerate
son--he would put forth his hand to subvert
them is thrice parriolde. these princil les
have brought our country its present dis
tinguished emiuence amoag the nations o
the earth These principles, if perpetuated
will, III spite of the wiles Of the demagogue,
or the bowls of tanatcism, give to our chil
dren,s children, through all coming time,
the blessings of freedom, happiness and
peace"

ance, he had evidently been laid on his back
