"VoIcr OF THE PEoPLE."-Under this
head several OF the opposition press are
publishing what purports to be set OF reso'
lutions purportng to come from some place
in Placer county, censuring the Hon. james
O'Neil, Member Of Assembly from that
county, for his course upon the Senatorial
election. Mr.. ONel voted in the Demo
cratic caucus, for Messrs Broderick and
Latham. and in the joint convention for the
nominees Of the Democratic party. The
resolutions do not denounce Messrs. Broder-
lex ami Latham, as enemies Of the Democ'
racy, 5ut censure Mr.. O'Neil for misrepre-
sentiug them-'the Democracy of township
number T." There are no names attached
to the resolutions, and we will wager bottle
of ginger pop that those who originated the
resolutions, if not the open enemies of our
party, are men who bolt the ticket when the
choice of the party does not agree with
theirs.
Lat these resolutions even though they
originated with genuine and Unwavering
democrats, are exceedingly ill-advised. Do
the Democracy of Placer county regret that
the two committees Of the party united in
1850 Do they desire to see the party
again divided We do not believe it
When the party united, both wings met
upon common platform. Both parties
were recognized as Democrats, and shall we
deny to Democratic members the privilege of
voting for any member of our party Shall
We strive for the triumph of men alone, for
getting principles? Are she Democracy Of
Placer county, willing to recognize Messrs.
Broderick and Latham as Democrats only
when there is u victory to be gained by
their aid We do not believe it, ghese
resolutions must be an invention OF the
enemy-and very shallow one, at that.

ARIZONA AND THE NEW PACIrIC STATE
The Washington correspondent of the N

1.-The appearance of this new territorial
project has given occasion TO speculation
which possesses grave and important fea.
lures There is still longing desire on the
part of many scheming and ambitious men,
to divide Caiifor MIA, and erect the lower part
into an independent State This district,
however, is deficient in water, people, and
fertile soil. Arizona is an exaggerated copy
of this region, and the annexation of one to
the other would seem to be appropriate, and
might obvate some incOnyenient ptouliari.
ties in the situation of the territory. As 10
slavery going into either there is probably
little danger of that, because white men
themselves find it difficult TO get living
without that drawback. IL need not excite
surprise, if, by common consent, this Arizo-
ma demonstration result in the formation of
State out of the Gadsden purchase and
p1rtion Of California"
