STICKS TO IT.-The Journal Of Friday denied
the statement made by the Union some time
since, in regard to several prominent Know
Nothings having met in secret in Sacramento
and concluded to support the administration OF
Mr.. Buchanan. The Union has since corrected
its statement so far as the secresy of the meet
ing was concerned, but in other respects, the
account appears to have been correct We re-
garded the statement as reliable for the reason
that the Union is so bgoted in its opposition to
the Democracy, that it would not be likely to
pervert the truth in order to make statement
favorable to that party, although it frequently
does so for the purpose njuring it. In this re.
spcct the Union very much resembles our neigh
Dor Of the Journal.

WAGON RoAD CoNvENTIoSs.-Parties several
" interested, have held wagon road conven-
tons at Sacramento, FL Dorado, Mok.lumne
Hill, Marysville, and other places, in order to
bring their favorite routes into notice. These
conventions are not likely to accomplish any
thing. The Marysville convention appointed
twelve commissioners to locate road through
Plumas county. leading directly into Marysville.
The Butte delegation, considering their county
thrown of, withdrew from the convention, and
went home. Their action was endorsed by the
citizens Of Oroville, and call was made for
another convention on the 23d instant. The
Butte Record is particularly severe ON the Ma
rysville convention. and charges that seven OF
the twelve commissioners are interested in toll
roads and bridges below American Valley
There are 80 many conflicting interests to be
consulted, that it is hardly possible for anything
to be done this season towards improving any
of the immigrant routes over the mountains
Almost every mountain county has the best
route, and of course will do nothing to help i'm
prove the others.

WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE THE journal In its
last issue, after announcing its intention here
after to be as independent of politics as it's con-
ception of the true interests Of the people will
permit, gets of furious article against the
Democratic party Of this State, and closes by
asking, ito whom is the State debt of $4,000
900 to be chargedY' In answering this ques-
ton we should charge the late Know Nothing
party with considerably more than their share
of the debt, considering the length Of time they
have been in power. The debt, admitting it to
be $4,000. 900, has accumulated at the rate of
half million year since the State govern
ment was organized. The Know Nothing Leg
islature the year they were In power appropri-
ated about five hundred thousand dollars more
than was received into the Treasury for that
year, and the amount stolen by DIR. Bates, their
Treasurer, will swell this sum to over three
quarters Of million, to say nothing of the out
rageous State Prison contract which they made
with Gen. Estell, by which the State was to pay
100000 in five years for taking care of the
convicts, and which has yet got to be paid
The abuse of John Bigler is too backneyed a
subject to be of much force. He was Governor
of the State for four years. and had his recon-
mendations been carried out during that time,
at least one half of the State debt would not
have been contracted The statement that he
let contract to Vassault for building State
Prison. for which the State was to pay over a
million of dollars is pure fabrication Gov.
Bigler never made such contract. The con-
tract was let out by Commissioners appointed
by the Legislature. AS for the warrants drawn
by Controller Bell, for building the State Prison
wall, and for supplies for the convicts, it may
be well enough to state shat they have never
been paid. and their registry was ordered to be
cancelled although it is well known that the
prison wall was built and the supplies actually
furnished Even II they should eventually be
paid the expense Of the prison was less while
under the control of Gov. Bigler, than the
Know Nothing Legislature the next winter con.
tracted TO pay to Gen. Estell. We shall not
pretend to say but that Democratic officials may
have been guilty Of delnquencics in d.schar-
cling the duties of their Offices; but If any of
them have ever been guilty Of stealing money
out of the State Treasury, they were too smart
to get caught in the act.
The Journals conception OF the true inter-
ests of the people" consists in the defeat of the
Democracy, aud the elevation TO power of some
other party.

CRossING THE PIAIYs.-We learn from the
State Journal that party of western people are
preparing to start from Sacramento in few
days for the eastern States, across the country.
The enormous rates of fare now charged on the
steamers, is the principal cause of their taking
this route. tn the party there are several ladies
and children. There are some thirty in all; all
Of them have crossed the plains and some Of
them several times. They hope to get through
in about seventy days and spend several days
at Salt Lake City in that time The gentlemen
who are in the company are very certain that
they will be able to sell their mule teams at the
east at nearly their cost, and are sanguine that
their journey, at the utmost, will not cost them
over 500 for each adult. Owing to many ia
vorable causes the journey is made with much
less fatigue and privaton TO men aud animals,
and in much less time, than in coming from the
East The party will take the old Carson route.
1t is thought that companies will be starting
across every week for some time, either through
to Missouri or to Salt Lake.

ATTEMPTED ABDUCTION.-The Jackson Ledger
gives all account of an attempted abduction of
little girl. on Thursday morning last, May 7th,
by a Mexican named Juan Man. He was riding

miles from Jackson, and when about fifteen
rods from the house, threw his lasso around

her on to his horse. He was riding off with her
as fast as he could, but was most fortunately
brought in contact with brother of the girl,
who threw an ak at the Williams head. The AK

road and fed as fast as his horse could carry
him. The news of the outrage spread Ike Wild
