patriotic satisfaction the cheering evidences
that come to them from the East. Only a
very little more than one year ago all was
doubt and uncertainty; the struggle between
National Democracy and Fanatic Negroism
was at its height and the result no man could
foresee. The trial came, and Democratic
President was elected but doubts and fears
at once arose that the victory was only Tor
time-that the evil day had only been put oil
during an administration of four years. The
Negro Worshipping enemies of Democracy
had increased in number so rapidly, for three
or four years previous, that many, after the
excitement of the campaign was over, de-
spondingly calculated upon like increase
until Ammo Domini 1860, when a Negro Dy-
nasty-that is, Black and White Equality
would be inaugurated. But thanks to the
GOOD sense and honest patriotism of the great
mass of the people at the North, that glorl-
ous monitor the sober second thought is
coming upon them and the Negroism, with
its dangerous and degrading influences, is
every day becoming more unpopular The
signs of the times are indeed cheering; fanat-
icism is giving way to reason, and thousands
unon thousands who were led estray by the
unrichteous hue and cry of the agitators, now
see the error of their way, and are ready
and anxious to make amends for their folly
by jealous, hearty, and honest support of
the great conservative principles of the gov
ernment, as set forth by its founders Tho
Democracy are stronger now, and their doc
trines are more firmly established than ever
before. The night is passed, and the morn
ing dawns bright and cheering.
Repubcanism, upon the passage Of the
Kansas Nebraska Act became raving mad.
Starting out upon false issue-upon an i'm
agined injury inflicted upon the North--it
lived and hourished upon the extreme of pre-
iudce and morbid excitement. Confined IN
its views to q single idea, it saw naught IN
the political horizon but hordes of Negroes;
and not seeing or knowing aught else upon
which to place its affections, the Negro at
once became the sole object of its love and
devotion. The rights, the interests, the dig
nifty of White Men were forgotten the Ne.
gro alone was the object of their unnatural
solicitude- unnatural because it was exclu-
sve, and directed towards the inferior rather
than the superior race. No name was ever
more appropriately applied to a political party
than that of Negro-W Worshippers to the So
called Republicans. 1t expresses, pointedly
the peculiar character of the fanaticism they
have so lovingly cherished.
Such was Republcanism and such it is
yet-what is left of it--although the fact
that many are leaving its Shiny embrace may
in some degree cool the ardor of those who
remain its devotees. The American people
ere as liable as any other to go estray but
they always find the right path before it is
too late to retrace their steps. They may
commit error but they are never long in
correcting it. Let us all rejoice that the
country is returning from the late excitement
to its wonted quietude let us rejoice that
the White Man is to remain, as Nature and
Natures God intended him, and as the Fa-
theirs of the Republic provided, superior to
the Negro while the latter shall be permit
ted to live on as he has lived, fat, sleek, and
happy, and free from exposure to the dangers
and discomfeiture which amistaken and often
times hypocritcal philanthropy would inevita-
bly,, as all experience proves inhict upon him.
REPUTATION IN SAcRAMENTo.-The debt of
the city of Sacramento is over 81 500 900,
The Bee is informed that several meetings of
property holders have been held lately for
the purpose Of devising means to effect its
reputation. For the fair fame of the beau
tiful City Of the Plains, we sincerely hope the
Bee is mistaken. Had the word reputation
stuck in the throat of the man who invented
it, and ehoked him to death before he gave
it utterance, it would have been well for the
character Of California.
SHEEP SLAUGHTER more than one oc-
casion, recently, slaughter-pen at this place
has been invaded, and fat sheep killed.
Last Saturday morning the owner found six
teen dead, ard several Others injured The
