Ny Mother.

MY dear, lost mother. it is midnight now,
The sky Is dark and s%tarlcss, and the earth
Seems bound as with a spell Of silence. All
Around is still and pulscless as the heart
Whence life has fled forever. At this hour,
When in my listcnings | can hear no sound.
Save the low, earnest voice OF my own soul
Calling in grief to heaven, | would invoke
Thy spirit from its blessed home, to hold
Communion with thy child.

4Hr. Editor:-Inasmuch as the opinion
Is entertained by some persons that we, as
Church, are of sectional and political
sentiment, we hereby transmit to you the
true feature, and the position that We have
maintained since our organization.
lst. That we are exclusively ecclesiasti-
cali our sentiment; and
2ndly. That as an ecclesiastical body.
we hold to non-interference with the no.
litical questions and institutions of our
common country.
3rdly. That as an ecclesiastical BODY. Il
is our duty to look to the spiritual and the
moral condition of our countrymen, and to
labor for the elevation of their moral char
acter, without reference to their political
opinions.
4thly. That in so doing, we are imita-
ting the example of Christ, and His Apos-
ties, anda are more successfulin propagating
the Gospel and its truth, and find a prompt
and hearty welcome with our message of
San Andreas independent., 1857-04-11

Mexico, and which judgment and patent
are but declaratory a6fvmance of pre-
eristinq, valid and acknowledged right.
II. That as all the claims to private
lands in the State had, by the Act of Con-
gress. to rass through the United States
Board of Land Commissioners and the Fed
eral Courts, if required by the government.
and upon final confirmation to be patent
ed, the practical effect of this Act of the
Legislature is to deny the owners all their
previous rights in lands granted by Spain
and Mexico, unless these owners had COM
piled IN the past with the then unknown
provisions Of the 10th section uoao first
enacted, but which these owners were not
required to do by any then existing law.
IL. The Act makes no distinction Eek
cept IN cases of actual fraud or force, y
whether the trespass was wilfull or mis-
taken, whether upon the long and well
known claim of the owner, or upon wild
and supposed public land, claimed by no
known Or accessible person, and while the
owner, under the revenue laws of the
State, has been compelled to pay the tax
es upon the property or lose his land, al
though no patent had been issued, yet when
he at last is allowed to recover the possess
sion, he is compelled to pay the full as
sessed value of the Improvements, without
any deduction for the rents and profits, or
even for the taxes he has paid the State.
or the injury done to the property itself.
19. That the Legislature had the RIGHT
to allow all and every right and defense,
legal as we'll as equitable, existing under
the laws In force at the time they accrued,
to be set up in suit to recover the pos
session of real estate, but the Legislature
had no power to create new rights for one
party, as to the past; nor impair the pre-
existing rights of the other; and this is
the true distinction between the power to
regulate the remedy, and the want of pow
or to impair the right.
20, That the hardships of particular ca
ses, that will and must arise in the pro-
gress OF human affairs, under any and all
systems OF government and law, do in fact
constitute the true and stern test of the
devotion OF free people to fundamental
principles, and to sustain these fundamcn-
tai principles, whereon liberty, protection,
and society itself are based, is the most
conclusive proof of the capacity and fitness
of people for self-government.
q. That the permanent evils inflicted
upon free institutions by violation of
these fundamental principles will outweigh
immcasurably all the temporary benefits
that might accrue to individuals
22. That whatever may be the views of
others, this Court has but one duty to per-
form, and that is to expound and enforce
the Constitution in its purity and vigor,
until changed by the same sovereign pow
or that made 1t. BURNETT, J.

observations on the editorial fraternity of

SOUTH FORK MINING LAWS.

4 7 A MEETING of the Miners assembled at
IN the house of Mr. Mark McNicholas, No
vemher 4th, 1854, it was unanimously agreed
that Mr.. James Coogan be nominated President,
and Mr.. John Hogan, Secretary And then and
there the following resolutions were formed and
agreed to:
ARTICLE !. All old claims are to be fully in
sured to the companies owning them, provided
they have been worked by the same compa-
mes the previous season, and that the same old
companies intend to work same claims the ensu-
ing season. SO far as river claims are concerned.
and not otherwise
ART. 2. All old claims are fully acknowl-
edged in their full extent, and said claims are
to be respected by having them recorded.
ART. 3. All river claims are to extend two
hundred feet long to each man, together with
the bed bar and banks, if any, of the river, ia
ken up after this date.
ART. 4. All claims can be secured from the
time the river gets high, or from the time Mi
ners are set idle by high water, until the 18th
OF June, by having notice posted on said claim.
and having it recorded; and after the 18th of
June, said claim must be worked or have the
notice renewed every third day.
ART. >. ALI surface claims arc to be same
size, say two hundred feet long by one hundred
feet wide to each man.
ART. g. All tunnel claims are to be one
hundred feet wide through the hill and all
shaft or deep claims are to be one hundred feet
square to each man.
All these laws to take effect from this date,
and to stand permanent until such time rs a
majority OF the miners think proper to have
them repealed
All these laws to extend to the junction of
the South Fork and North Branch of the Gala
vcras river, and to extend up SO high as Spen-
GERS Bar, and no further
