We notice in the Legislative proceedings,
that MIR. Rice, Member of Assembly from
fuba County, has introduced bill to define
the boundary line between the Counties Of
Yuba and Butte. The project of changing
this line has been discussed, for some con-
siderable time, and meets with the almost
universal condemnation of the citizens Of
Butte County. Experience has heretofore
demonstrated that every act Of the Legis-
lature to define our county boundaries, has
resulted in despoiling Butte of territory,
and attaching it to some adjoining County.
1t is time that the legislature ceased defin
ing our boundaries, and we ask that Hon.
body, in all earnestness and candor to let
them alone, or if the Legislature cannot
have one Session, without passing an act
in relation TO our boundaries, let it re-
store to US our original western boundary,
the Sacramento River, instead of the pres
ent ramshorn line, now described by the
mystical labyrnths of an untraceable
slough; or what would be better still, give
back the majestic Buttes from which our
county received its baptismal appellation.
What more definate line between the two
counties can the Legislature expect to es-
tablish' AS it now stands, the dividing
ridge between the Feather and Yuba Rivers
is the line Waters that flow into the Yuba,
are in Yuba County; the waters of Feather
River are in Butte County Is not that the
natural boundary between the two Rivers
and the two Counties. If u Yuba tax col
lector chases q Chinaman into Butte County,
or Uice uersd, it does not create difficulty
about the boundary line which the Supervi-
sors of the two Counties, with the assistance
of their respective Surveyors, cannot settle.
The line now proposed to be established will
take several election precincts from Butte
and attach them to -uba, and will require
the same amount of services from the Sur
veyors that it would to define and establish
the present line
We trust our members will not permit the
county to be again shorn of its proportions.

summary of the proceedings, on the 18th:

increased from $500 t. a sum not to exceed
81 500. in a bill which was ordered to an
engrossment A bill to pay Gen. A. NJ
VIM 81 $50 for services during the Indian
war, was also ordered to an engrossment.--
The bill designed to protect property on the
river banks above Sacramento and above
the mouth of the San Joaquin, by requiring
that steamboats, navigating those waters
Should be compelled to carry spark caiehers,
was discussed, amended and passed. A Sc
ries of resolutions, declaratory of the sense
of the Senate upon the subjec' Of the State
debt-takiDg the view that the eigth article
of the constitution is merely directory, and
that the debt is not unconstitutional, was
introduced, aad after some discu, sion, or
dered to be printed In the Assembly, the
most important action had, was the appoint
ment of a committee to examine and a9cer-
tain the condition of the books and accounts
of s. A. McMeans, late Treasurer of State
1t is stated that there was u Discrepancy OF
some ~34 $50 against the State, which need
ed explanati zion at least The committee are
invested with power to send for persons and
papers, and the result Of their investiga-
tons will be looked forward to with interest.
Several bills of special character we're
passed, and large number of n prOmiscu-
Gus nature introduced. Among them was
one providing for the removal Of insane
convicts from the State Prison to the Insane
Asylum and another to purchase the por-
trait OF, Gen. Jackson. After the morning
business, the House went into Committee of

Present accounts appear to indicate that
the Legislature of Indiana will fail TO elect
U s. Senator at the present Session. The
Legislature is Democratic on joint ballot,
but the Republicans have majority in
the Senate, and refuse to meet the House in
joint convention for any puspose whatever
They refused to 60 into the Hall of the
House so hear Gov. Wright's message. They
would not 90 into the Hall of the House to
hear prayers. They are so determined not
be canght in a trap that they keep at an
immense distance, and operate with great
shyness.
Should they succeed in staving off an cleo
ton for their present session, the Democra-
cy of that gallant State will provide against
their ability to do so at the next. What %
wicked set of politicians these Republicans
must be, to neglect their prayers with the
vain hope of securing the spoils of office !
The Legislature of Indiana once elected a
Democratic Senator Ned Hannegan) when
there was majority of one against them,
and we incline to the belief that they will
succeed in electng Democratic Senator be-
fore the close of their present session, not
withstanding the opposition of the prayerless
Republican scamps, who compose majority
of the Indiana State Senate. They are evil
IDENTIFY unwilling to pray for anything but
office.

The Democratic Creed in Brief.


As the Apostate Democracy do not seem
to have any well settled creed, we cordially
present them the following which we have
to suit this latitude and longitude, and We
by it without being arrested for heresy. 1t
is compiled from their deeds MS well as their
professions: @~
believe in the Righteousness of human
bondage. @@
believe it to bethe duty Of the Congress
of the United States to extend Slavery
wherever the American flag floats; and I
believe this extension to be the glorious
mission Of the blessed Democracy. Est
l believe that tho error Of Washington
when he pronounced the present philanthropy
ic salvation Of niggers, by holding them in
slavery, ga wrong" was only an error Of
judgement and not of heart, and attribute
bic to the meagre advantages he (,vashing-
tony enjoyed for intellectual culture.
1believe that Thomas Jefferson-the i'm
mortal author of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence-was the father and founder Of
democracy, and deserves our highest rever-
ence. hEt
believe the Declaration of Independence
to be ga self.evident lie" and ga tissue Of
glittering generalities.' IT,
l believe that a negro has no rights that
a white is bound to respect. aFs 3
believe that father may sell his son in
to bondage, and his daughters for purposes
of prostitution, or that he may himself hold
his own son . slave, and keep his daughter
to crafty his lust; and that whoever rebels
against this "dispensation Of Providence"
is q fanatic and negro-worshipper.
believe in the binding force of the d.
vine command to multiply and replenish the
earth-that young niggers are profitable
crop, and that no question should be asked
as to their paternity.
/ believe that God is the father Of all cre-
alton, niggers excepted, and that they de-
scended from Ham, and are cursed to the
end Of time; and that there ought to be, it
there is not, somewhere in the limits OF
space, . Heaven for their use, II they are
not permitted, being CEILINGS" to 60 to Hell
at I'll, or II the PIT should be too full OF
Abolitionists to hold them.
believe in st. Walker, the hero OF MIC
aragua, and prny for his restoration to his
feld of Christian usefulness.
! believe in James Buchanan, and endorse
his whole glorious career; when he made
speeches from the stump; when be voted
for the Wilmot Proviso, and "clung to the
Missouri Compromise, and hoped it would
be adopted by Congress-" when he repudia-
ted the Missouri Compromise for the great
idea Of Squatter Sovereignty, and when he
sacrificed this darling principle after he dis
covered that its application would be disas.
trous to our glorious Union.
l believe in the Supreme Court and the
,llustrious statesman fancy, and that mig
gers are mixed colored cattle, and that they
have no rights except to be chained aad
whipped, and to raise cotton.
believe the Constitution makes the gio-
rious provisions for establishing slavery
