Ski Anti-Frazer River Arguments.

We propose to offer six reasons why the
people of California should not pull up stakes
and go TO Frazer River. They are as follows.
FIRSTLY. The Frazer River mines, are in
no part Of Uncle Sans Domain, and only
for very limited period in all probability
will even the claw OF sufferance' be ex. !
tended to such Americans as may choose to
dig up John Bulls soil for gold (admtting
that the soil in question is gold bearing -
Now If John Bull finds that his Island is q
rich mineral region. of course he will want
it himself, and he will expect that the Yam
KEGS who settle there will pay him tribute
aud you know that would either make us
weaken, vacate the diggings. or raise the war
cry of "54, 40 or fght"-which latter would
| all end in smoke.
SECONDLY. As patriots and pioneers, it is
our duty to first develope our own lands be-
fore we go to prospect those Of anybody else
Of acres of auriferous lands just rs rich as
any yet discovered, and free to all-even to
Cinnamon. We ought not to leave a certain.
ty on our own soil, to go after an uncertain :
ty on John Bulls. Industry will give us oil
livelihood, and probably competency
here, our own kindred and people.
THIRDLY. Vancouver is overrun with In-
dians, wars must naturally follow the emi.
grafton of white men thither and whatever
troubles and dangers may beset the pioneer
he can expect no protection save that offered
by his few peighbors and his rife. Uncle
Sam has no business there, and John Bull
will be pretty certain to leave tho Yankee
squatters to fight their own battles.
FoURTHLY We have no eviden CO of the
extent of these new mncs, and have no rea
son to suppose that they extend beyond the
immediate vicinity of Frazer River 1t will
be observed that we have in all our reasons
above, tactily admitted that Frazer River is
gold strcam-as it no doubt is, to a certain
extent, but,
FiFrHLY. We well remember how, in the
Gold Bluff times, the papers and peoples
mouths we're filed with just such cvtraya-
CANT statements as are now being made
about Frazer River, and we know that they
were all manufactured by a company OF
heartless spectators, and this brings us to
.SIxrHLY. We ought, by this time to have
received some little profit from experience -
such experience rs is Afforded US by the
histories of Gold Lake, Gold Bluff and Kern
River. We ought to treat this Frazer sto-
ry ms n Roorback until somebody whom VIC
can rely on gives us the ocular proof that il
is all true. Nothing is gained by precpi
tate action. There is nothing to be lost by
n little caution. II these new diggings are
as extensive as we are told by the steamship
folks, there will he plenty cr claims left for
months yet, so let us wait awhile-until the
news is confirmed by authority We know "a
be good
We have given our promised number OF
reasons why we should not go to Frazer Riv.
er, but we will add by way of supplement
that We earnestly and devoutly believe that
relatively considered, Frazer River is a vast
humbug.

On Saturday last, the Democracy OF Sac
rameuto held their primary election. and
the ''lines' having been drawn, or in other
words, the question of Popular Sovereignty
having been made an issue, the douglas
men" carried the day triumphantly. This
may be regarded as a signal triumph, for il
the administration has stronghold in this
State. outside Of the Custom House, the Indi-
an Reservations, the Land OAce and other
Federal vantage grounds, Sacramento is tina,
stronghold Despite Of the Vaccinations and
money Of the wit, wisdom, corruption and
stupidity Of the Legislature and influence oi
the executive department, despite Of the
marshalled hosts of the Custom II use, and
right under the very ink droppings Of the
State Journal and .Mercuriai sanctuaries
despite of bullyings and threa'enings, the
adhsrents of true Democracy vindicated their
principles and taught scheming politician,
that with them their tricks and frauds were
of no avail.
Who will longer doubt the ruling senti.
ment Of the people of California npon tn,

the test be made at every election in the

OUR Town CHARTER The impression
that has become general that the town char
ter has been so amended as to place the ap-
pointing of the Marshal, Treasurer and AS
SCISSOR in the hands of the Trustees. is. it ap-
pears erroneous. Those Offices are still left
to the choice of the people, as they very
properly should be. On Monday next the
election will be held, and it is highly impor-
tant that the Democracy take such steps as
will secure good incumbents of the Offices
then to be filed. We trust that caucus
will be held to day. or as early rs possible,
and that ticket will be regularly nomina-
ted. This is tho only way to secure concert

On the 22i ult., the House of Represent
Eative, by vote of l04 to lOl, passed the
bill introduced by Mr.. MORRILL,, of Vermont,
donating lands to the several States, for
the benefit of Agriculture and Mechanical
arts. The bill granted 6,340, 900 acres of
and to be apportioned to each State, equal
Ito q, 900 acres for each Senator and Rep
|rssentative in Congress to which they are
now respectively entitled, the moneys de-
rived from the sales to be inv ested in United
States or other safe stock, yielding not less
than Eve per centum, the moneys thus in
vested to constitute perpetual fund, the
interest of which to be inviolabIy appropri-
[ated to the endowment, support and main
FINANCE of at least one college where the
leading object shall be, without excluding
other scientific or classical studies, to teach
ouch branches of learning as are related to
Agriculture and the mechanics arts, in such
manner as the Legislatures may ascribe in
order to promote liberal and practical
etncation to the industrial classes in the
several pursuits and professions in life
Among the conditions on which the grants
are made, is that the States shall provide
pot less than one college within FIVE years.

The New York Tribune says, Mr.. John
A. Washington, the present owner of Mount
Vernon, proposes to sell 200 acres of it.,
which, minus the grave of Washington,
would be worth about $40, 900, for 500, 700.
He formerly refused to sell to any one ex-
cept the Federal Government or Virginia /;
but, these not coming forward, he is now
willing to take his 100000 from the ladies
of Virginia, assisted as they are by those of
other States, and the eloquence Of Edward
Everett. MIR. W. has already made good
thing of selling the timber of these hallowed
acres for canes, snuff boxes, &c. As Mr..
W. is not Yankee, we suppose there is
nothing to be said but if he only were a
Yankee, he would be esteemed an intensely
mean one. Still, man may "do what he
likes with his own," and those who don't
like what he does are at perfect liberty to
grumble.

Chicago.
Tha lakeland DIa:II Ia.-:i

The Cleveland Plaindealer describes the
Lake city after this fashion:
Chicago is busting city. 1t was for
merly in Illinois, but now Illinois is in it.
Lake Michigan is situated on Chicago. The
principal productions of Chicago, are corner
lots, statistics, wind, the Democratic Press,
and Long John Wentworth. The popula-
ton of Chicago is about sixteen millions,
and is rapidly increasing. The people are
very unassumiug and moral-almost too
much so. The real estate dealers are all
honorable men, like Brutus, and wouldn't
tell lie for anything. Chicago is not in
the temperate zone, the habits of the people
not being at all in that way.

Another Plank Gone.

The Cincinnati Platform, of which Mr..
Buchanan became part during the cam
paign, does not hold together well in his
Administration. One Of the planks was
popular sovereignty but it was very
loosely attached to the platform and was
rudely torn off Immediately after the meet
ing Of Congress. Economy and retrench-
ment was another loose plank which every
body expected could not be retained, and
people did not have to wait long to see it
60. The plank declaring it the purpose to
resist all Slavery agitation " in and out of
Congress- hoated away with the commence
ment of the session, and nothing else has
been thought Of but agitation. The plank
in regard to the right of new States to
CIRCULATE their domestic institutions, with
or without Slavery, as they please,'' has
been violently ruptured and the party rup-
tured with it. The plank declaring for a
Pacific Railroad seemed to have strong fast
enngs, and Mr.. BUCHANAN nailed it down
again in his Message; but it was made of
rotten materials and the heads of the nails
slipped through, and the plank has gone
with the rest. The platform is now a sad
wreck, and it is thought that it will 90 en-
