The Mormon paper is furious against
those in the East who are anxious to inter

able civilians to Utah, promising them that,
so long a they behave like white men, Bri-
CHAM and his people will treat them with
more courtesy than they ever met with.

NUMBER 50.
From the Union Democrat
Duty Of Democrats.

When we think of James Buchanan's
Inaugural of the 4th of March; when we
reflect upon the liberal appropriations of
the democracy of our Union in the Con-
gressional halls OF the nation, towards Cal.
itornia, we are led to the conclusion that
it devolvcs upon the democrats of Cali
fornia, 20 rally at the polls on the
I'd of September next and there deposit
clean and emphatic vote for the nominees
of our State and County Conventions. BY
doing this, as we assuredly believe that
they will do, they will be giving evidence
to the present administration, and to our
sister States of the confederacy, that we
are ever mindful of their past acts to-
wards us, and that we now, and ever will,
hold them in grateful remembrance
The deep friendship and sincere interest
manifested in Mr.. Buchanan's Inaugural,
towards us; the line of policy which he
indicates that he intends to pursue in relation
to our Pacific affairs, must touch the
gratitude Of all; and feeling thus, let us
give him an unmistakable assurance that
we keenIy feel aud deeply appreciate his
kindness, 10y casting our overwhelming
vote for John Is. Weller and the demo
cratic ticket. In doing so, we not only
discharge our political and patriotic duties
but we also advance the interest and pros
perity of our State. For the next four
years we are to have democratic ad-
minlstration, and our party will be largely
in the ascendary in Congress. From the
democracy, and it alone, are we to look for
the aid and suceor which is either 10 mar
or make us; then do not let us pursue a sui
cldal course as regards our own interest, hv
failing to do our duty as intelligent citi-
zenS.
Already has the Federal Government
made liberal appropriations for the con-
structlon OF three great wagon roads, to
terminate in the limits of California; al
ready Las large amounts been appropriated
for the purpose Of giving us an overland
mail; and ere long the benefits arising from
this liberallty on the part of our Govern
ment, will be felt in every camp and every
precinct in our State, by a decided in
crease in our population But although
California has much to be thankful for it
is nothing to what she may expect frcm
the future, for these appropriations are the
mere entering wedges to enterprises for tho
advancement of our State, that are indeed
stupendous and hercuean in their nature.
But much depends upon the act of our
citizeEs whether these tavors and BLESSINGS
shall be continued, and the only and chief
manner that we can insure continuance.
by the support and maintenance of
LIBERAL principles, and 10y The dissemination
and PRONUNCIATION of just and equitable po-
litical doctrines, freed from the many and
various isms Of the day. Then, fellow-d demo-
Gratis, on September next it is your sacred
and boundcn duty, on account of the rec
objections of the past, and by the glorious
anticipations Of the bright and dazzling
future which awaits our young State, to
go to the polls and vote for the democratic
ticket, for it is the only true national con-
servative and Union ticket now presented
for our sutfrares.

Opinion Of VIM Writ on Citizenship.

When William Writ was Attorney Gen
eral of the United States, he gave the
following official opinion upon case sub
mitted to him, involving the right of free
negro of Virginia to command vessel
81 presume that the description, citizens
Of the United States, used in the Consi-
tuition, has the same meaning that it had
in the several acts of congress passed un-
der the authority of the Constitutions; other
wise there will arise vagueness and
uncertainty in our laws which will make
their execution, if not impracticable, at least
extremely difficult and dangerous. Look
ing to the Constitution as the standard of
meaning, it seems very manifest that no
pelson is included in the description of
citizens Of the United States who has not
the full rights OF a citizen in the State of
his residence. Among other proofs, it will
be sufficient to advert to the constitutional
provision, that tue citizens of each State
shall be entitled to all the privileges and
immunities of citizens of the several States
"Now, fla person born and residing in
Virginia, but possessing none of the high
characteristic privileges of citizen of the
State, is nevertheless a citizen of Virginia,
in the sense CT the Constitution, then, on
his removal to another State he acquires
all the immunities and privileges of a citi-
zen of that State, although he possessed
none of them in the State of his nativity,
a consequence which certainly could not
have been in the contemplation of the
convention. Again: the only qualification
required by the constitution to render a
person eligible as President, Senator, Rep
resentative of the United States is, that he
shall be a citizen of the United States Of
given age and residence, Free negroes
and mulattoes can satisfy the acquisitions
of age and residence as well as the white
man; and if nativity, residence and allegi-
ance combined without :he rights and priv
ileges of a white man) are sufficient to
make him citizen of the United States
in the sense of the Constitution, then free
negroes and muattoes are eligible to those
high offices, and may command the purse
and sword Of the natl n.

Beware of the Man who never Laughs.

of New York, before the Western Unitarian

sincerely suspicious of the plety of those who
do not love pleasure in any form. | cannot
trust the man that never laughs that Is al

violence. expect to find secret vices
malignant sins, or horrid crimes sprnging
up in this hot bed Of confined air and impris-
oned space; and therefore, it gives me sin
cere moral qualification anywhere and in
any community, to see innocent pleasures
and popular amusements resisting the reig-
ious higotry that frowns upon them. Any
thing is better than that dark, dead, unhappy
social lfe-a prey to ennui and morbid ex-
element, which results from unmitlgated

Decay Of Black Republicanism.

Every day brings additional evidence, says
the Washington Union, of the decay of
Black Repubicanism. Like every cause
having its origin in fraud and deception. or
moral and political error, that of these poll
cal agi;ators must ultimately sink to rise no
more. The people are learning the truth
and their cause is waning under the ban of
the people. City after city has given its YER
diet against them. Connecticut, so strongly
with them few months since, / as written
her condemnation of their principles and
practices. In Michigan thousands have de.
serted their standard, and the Democracy
will soon fully triumph in that State. Iowa,
upon the borders of ''bIeeding Kansas" the
electors in which must personally know what
has occurred in the Territory, has abandoned
Black Republcansm and all other sms, and
manfully wheeled into the Democratic lines
again. The administration has there achcv-
cd most noble triumph. The Black Repub-
licans no where INCREASE their vote or win
new majorities. That party rose upon
false and potten basis and must from ne ces
sity fall when the people understand the
foundation upon which it stands. Decay is
legibly written upon it, Such is ever the
fate of err Or falsehood, and deception. The.
Black Republican leaders feel this, and hence
are writhng in agony at their future pros
poets. If Kansas can not be induced to
commit some suicidal act for their benefit
they have no hopes for the future. We sus-
pect Kansas has suffered too much already
on their account to become a willing victim
to further their political operations Her.
prosperity has been sadly retarded, and tie
happiness of her people too greatly diminish
ed by following the counsels of political iana-
ties and demagogues to readily yiel6. again.
to their selfish and bad ADVICE If Kansas,
by self-inmolation, does not supply fresh
materials for agitation, Black Republicanism
will soon die a natural death.
