The New PARTY.

Our cotemporary OF the Press has hatch
ed up new idea-one that is grand,
gloomy and peculiar" In his last weeks
leading article we find him advocating a new
party. 1t is party that is to embrace all
the energy, truthfulness and patriotism of
all the parties that have gone before us. 1t
will not be surpassed in force and speed by
double engine Mississippi steamer-more
Democratic than Democracy itself-and in
patriotism it is to be as sound as Hail Co.
lumbia" The great teacher and expounder
of its doctrines will be GA S. Smith, editor"
Upon its banner is to be inscribed those
magic words, E Pluribus Unum-which
being interpreted means new men for office.
He has not given it name yet, but with
out doubt, it will receive the name Of
its honored founder. This idea will be found
to yield to the party incalculable advantages,
the great Smith family is so numerous, as in
itself to form very respectable beginning.
The people have been humbugged long
enough with the high sounding titles Of
American, Democrat, ard Republican par
ties. These false lights are to wane before
the blazing fires of Smthism-fres that are
to illuminate the darkness Of the political
world, and ultimately consume and exter-
inmate all opposition. This is the panacea
for all evils, and the editor of the Placer
Press has discovered it. Let there be great
rejoicing among parties, and above all let
the pa ty be properly drilled.
Under this last remark we presume may
be considered the proprety of that very high
toned, gentlemanly advice, given by the edi-
tor to the opposition, viz:-to interfere as
much as possible in the primary meetings of
the Democracy. There are persons who
possibly ght dislike to do this, and to those
the new party holds out no rewards. They
are, however, welcome to the party, because
they will give tone of decency to it, and
this is an ingredient very much needed.
This is the new party-we expect to see
everybody rush in and take stock, in home.
But gentlemen don't break it down with its
own weight-by your numerical strength;
Mr.. Smith don't wish that it will interfere
with his plans.

For the North.

Every day witnesses the departure of a
large number Of our residents, for the new
mines of the North-the stages from the
mountains are crowded to excess, and addi-
tional coaches are required to help away the
anxious gold-seekers, who are rushing with
all haste to the new diggings, as if their lives
depended upon getting there within the short
est possible time. We have no data from
which to estimate accuratedly the numbers
that have left Placer county, but are satisfied
that some hundreds have already gone, and
that many others are but awaiting favorable
news. The folly Of such haste should be ap
parent to every man, but we have seen
enough to know that when an individual is
severely attacked with the Frazer River fever
that the only thing apparent to him is. that
there is gold up there in untold quantities,
and the sooner he reaches the new Ell Dora
do. the better his chances for the coveted
"ple," tina: first induced his pilgrimage to
California.
Persuasion, argument, nothing that can be
said, will check the headong rush Of the
Frazer emigrant, who, sleeping or aw Ike sees
in the misty north, chunks Of gold bigger
than full moons, and fortune for him that
is to be dug out in few weeks Enough
has been said to cause men to use their Senses
and govern their action by the use of reason
but your Frazer river man believes that
the fact that gold is there is reason enough
for him, and good Judgment conss's IN get
tine within reach of it as soon as possible.
This excitement will spend its force after
while but not before thousands have left Cal
iforna. That the business of the State is to
be seriously affected for time, we can plainly
see, but believe at the same time an ultimate
benefit is to be derived by a stimulated emf
grafton from the older States to this coast,
that will accept California as the most pre-
ferable, on account of climate, soil, and real
mineral wealth.
Let not those who are permanently located
here, fear that California is to be ruined bv
The present stampede. The reaction will
come in good season.

Two New States Minnesota and Oregon.

by the action OF the Democratic majority
in Congress, two more new States have been
added to the contederacy. Minnesota has
been fully admitted, and her Senators and
Representatives take their seats. The bill
admitting Oregon, passed the Senate by
decided majority, and ere this has gone
through the House-so we may safely say
that Oregon is State. The people of these
States will not fail to notice that they are
placed under no obligation to the Republican
party for being enabled to come into the
Union, endowed with all the rights and
privileges of other commonwealth. The
Republican lea!ers, with the exception Of
Mr. Seward, strenuously opposed the admis-
sion Of Oregon. Notwithstanding their b!a
tant professions regarding the doctrine of
popular sovereignty, they did not hesitate to
oppose Oregon, whose constitution had been
submitted to a vote Of the people, and ap
proved by decisive VOTE Wha, credit can
now be given them for honesty of purpose
in the course they have pursued on the Kan
sas question in Congress9 They have shown
their hands fully, and convinced the conser-
vative men Of the country, that "niggeris,n"
is at the bottom of all their political action.
The people of Oregon voted to exclude free
negroes-this was sufficient for such ranting
Republicans as Bell Of New Hampshire, and
Wilson, Of Massachusetts; they would have
kept Oregon out until doomsday, had they
the power. They were loud advocates Of
the doctrine of popular sovereignty, when,
with little squad of Democrats, they be-
lieved they could break down the Admins
tration; but they never for one moment lost
sight Of the ends and aims of their party,
as laid down in their platform of 1856.
Let Democrats not be deceived by the
professions of Republicans in favor of the
great doctrine of the Cincinnati platform,
which declares that the people of the Terri
tories are free to form and regulate their
own institutions in their own way. The Re-
publican party adheres tenaciousy to the
doctrine of Congressional interference
they will interfere whenever they fail in sha-
ping the institutions of new States to their
own ends
Upon the Democratic party only can Dem
ocrats rely for the mainanance of the Gin
cinnati platform; and should any be deceiv-
ed and follow after false lights, they must
not say when it is two late, that they were
not fully torewarned.

The AMERICAN VS.. FRAzER-Mr. A. D.
Mcdonald, of Rattlesnake, who has lately
returned from the Frazer river country, and
whose letters have been extensively published
in the papers Of the State, intends fluming
his old claim on the American, at Rattle
snake this season. As Mr.. Nc D. is one of
our most practical men, we should Judge
from this that he considers the American
better than Frazer river-at least for this
year.

HoPEFUL-The editor of the Press is the

HoPEFUL-The editor of the Press is the
most hopeful political genius within the
range Of our reading. He sees and acknowl-
edges that, those whom he fondly hoped
would leave the Democratic party on the
Kansas question, generally, like true men,
are giving in their adherence to the policy as
settled upon by the party, but affects to de-
rive consolation from their loss as every sue
ceedng day convinces him that his piratical
policy is falling in disrepute, and his sym
pathzers falling away.
The position of the editor is most aptly
illustrated in the anecdote of the old farmer
whose son came in breathless haste to inform
that the old eve had two lambs.
The old gentleman expressed his gratica-
ton at the frutfuness of his flock, and
doubtless INDUCED in pleasing antcipations
of his accumulating wealth; but the boy took
him back slightly in saying that one of the
lambs was dead.
"Very WELL" replied the old man, "there
will be more milk for the other one."
"Bu: dad, 'tothcr ones dead, too."
"Good," exclaimed the farmer, 1--WE will
fatten the old ewe-she will make excellent
mutton"
"But the old eve is dead" replied the
promising youth
The old man, however, rose superior to his
losses, and said he was "glad of it, for the
eve had always been a troublesome, breachy
old cuss, and be was glad to get rid Of her"
The prospective mutton was all gone, but the
old mans qualification increased as misfor-
tune followed misfortune in rapid succession.
The editor of the Press is equally jolly
under aff1icton-he is veritable Mark Tap
ley. He sees Lis flock falling away, and
yells with delight at the thought. The ranks
are thinned away to skeleton squadrons, but
he hourishes his pen aloft, and gives way to
uncontrol able ordinations.

RIVER MlNING.-Notwithstanding the de-
parture of so many miners for Frazer river,
large amount Of 1uming will be done upon

alton being made upon the Middle Fork

From the North Fork of the American. AS

To SAN QUENTIN.-Constable Boggs ap-
pretended an escaped convict named Thorn
as Lawrence, last week, and conveyed him
to San Quentin on Monday and delivered
him over to the authorities. Lawrence was
convicted of grand larceny in Stanisalaus
county last year and sentenced for three
years. He arrived at the State Prison on
the 9th of August last, and escaped on the
oath of the same month-not liking the
boarding he left at the first opportunity.

QUIET REIcNs.-The passage of the Kan
sas bill has given peace to the country. The
halls of Congress no longer resound with
the clamor of the Kansas debate. The De-
mocracy have succeeded, as they desired,
in compelling Kansas SO settle her own
troubles, and with that people now rests the
responsibility. The change from fierce agi-
tation to midnight quiet, on the subject, is
easily remarked. The late eastern papers are
almost barren of anything of interest con-
nected with the Territory.

The Harvest in Placer.--The Prospects.

AHe hdIVeSt III TIaCeT'.' ne prospects.
A hurried visit to Coon Creek va ley, the
most important agricultural part of Placer,
in the earl y part of the week, enabled us to
form an idea of the growing importance of
the agricultural interests Of the county, and
to Judge of the pros ects of our wheat crop
for the present haWest. We found the farm
ers in the midst of their harvest, the golden
grain falling rapidly before the active kni yes
OF labor saving Reapers and Headers; there
being but few unprovided with Mccormick,
or Nanny Reaper, or Haines' Heading Ma
chine.
The crops look well and we were assured
will turn out fair y, withstanding there is
more smutted wheat than usual. Those who
soaked their seed wheat in solution of blue
stone (vitrioD find their fields much freer of
smut than their neehbors who neglect this
precauion. The value Of such preparation
is made so manifest this year, that we doubt
if there is a farmer in Placer who will ne
glect the blue stone remedy at the next SOW
ing.
This years crop in our county, will aver
age twenty bushels to the acre; which is far
better than last year. We observed some
fields looking very fine. that were entirely
free from smut
BY the latter part Of next week the wheat
harvest will be about closed, and upon the
whole we think it will be satisfactory one
to our farmers
The value Of the farming lands upon Coon
Creek is observable in the prosperity that
has attended the operations of the residents
Of the valley, who find each additional year
adding to their wealth and comfort. They
are people Independent and content-who
are not excited by the big gold strikes of
Frazer river but who regard California as
the best country in all creation.
Taos TousE) OR CLUB WHEAr.-We
have received from Mr.. Quin and Mr. Miles,
of Coon Creek a number of heads of the
above wheat, which is late introduction
into Ca'ifornia. The seed was brought from
Salt Lake to this State The Mormons OBJ
tanned it in New Mexico, where it is known
as the Taos (Touse) wheat. Mr.. Miles has
eleven acres of it on his farm on Coon Creek
nearly ready to cut. 1t is the heaviest grain
we have ever seen-standing well, and very
thick upon the ground, and not a head of
smut to be found in it. Mr.. M. is confident
that his crop Of it this year will yield seven
ty five bushels to the acre. The grain is
harder than that Of any other wheat. We
are informed by miller, who is aware of its
qualities that it makes good flour, but dark
er than the grain usually raised in this State
If it proves to be good Touring wheat
it will come rapidly in favor with farmers.
"MABEL VAuGHAN."-We are indebted to
the kindness of Mr.. Hanson; of the Auburn
Book store, for copy of this interesting
work, which has proven very popular among
the readers of light literature, and reached
