There are 50 many cards to play,
So many ways to choose,
In love and politics and war,
That forwarding our views
With ladies fair, and statesmen wise,
Or men of lesser bumps,
Before we had lead our strongest suits,
- Tis well to know what's trumps.
Once worshipping at beauty's shrine
! knelt in bondage sweet,
I And breathed my vows with eagerness.
And offered at her feet
My soul, well stored with Cupid's Wealth:
A love cemented lump; ES.E
A kind Of diamonds won the trick,
Ny heart was not q trump.
Raving to see my nval win
Upon single rub.
AS he had played the deuce with me,
1 followed with clubi
Two days within station-house.
henectng on my SIN,
I found, as others may have done,
Clubs very seldom win.
Growawise by sad experience.
e ceased to deal with maids:
I shuffied youthful follies off.
And turned up jack of spades;
Yet still I find as dust is scarce,
And smaller grow the Jumps,
That though the spade 8 an honest card,
1t is not always trumps.
But in this world Of outside show,
Where mammon rules the throng, -
To ease the little joints of life,
And smoothly pass along.
TO find an antido.e for care,
And stern misfortune's bumps.
One card is very sure TO win
Diamonds are always trumps.

The THEATER-Our Fair having termina-
ted, we are left a little more leisure to no.
tice the very excellent performances which
have been given and continue to be given
at the theater. Mr.. Ryer, the jealous mana
ger, has been indefatigable in his efforts to
render the attractions during the week, in
keeping with the interest of the weeks festi-
val, by affording the numerous visitors an
opportunity to witness the well known acting
of California's especial flvorites, Mr. and
Mrs. Stark, who have portrayed series o:
their best characters have been supported
by the most complete company ever assem-.
Lled in Marysyille, and who, we are very
glad to record, have been well patronized
during the week.
Not the least amongst the considerate eff
forts Of Mr. Ryer, to officially $50 to speak,
contribute to the State Fair, was the produc-
tion on Tuesday last of new original play,
from the able pen of Mr. G.. II. Boxer of
Philadelphia, called "The Betrothai," which
was ably rendered and calls for far more
detailed account than we have limit for to-
day-suffice it that both Mr. and Mrs. Stark
added a new and great character to their
rich repertoire.
We are glad to be able to inform our read
ers that the company, with Mr.. and Mrs
Stark, will remain until Tuesday evening, on
which night the two worthless take their
benefit.
This evening Sunday will be performed
the excellent play of the Iron Chest, and To
bis great comedy of the Honey Moon, Mr.
Stark appearing in his very able character of
Sir Edward Mortimer, and Mrs Stark as the
dashing Volante.

w ora TO Yankee LecOAP
have few words of plain truth to say to

your groveling natures. except to have the
effect of inducing YOU as much as in you lies
to conceal your disgusting toadyism. You
claim to be white men, and you came from
free States That, you profess sorrow for,
and endeavor to wip, out the disgrace, by
loudly endorsing an Administration which
has drawn n line of distinction between citi-
zens of free and slave States, in favor of the

James Buchanan, 10000 men, who favor Il e

direct insult as this is an object of commiser-
alton. Dogs lick the hand which smites
them. Men, when they are insulted and
kicked, endeavor to get redress | do not
mean to say that all the free State men in
Kansas are Yankses, or Northern men, for it
would not be true; l only wish to remind
you that Yankees are generally opposed to
slavery in all cold climates, where they have
the right to vote l cannot believe that
your fire eating propensities have become so
confirmed in you, as to put you beyond the
reach of your own control think, myself,
that the Administration is beaten in the slave
States, and that true Southern men are dis

the world, of an American President, reared
in free State, endeavoring to force slavery

10 you ttliers Of our side, dc:
GENTS ;--Y our invitation to address the cit
i1ensof Hammadore county was duly received
that is to say came to hand while was
nnile.ing, and having ample time to answer,
am ready to show my hand upon the topics
of the day--more particularly as it contains
mary pair" but as ours is game of brag,
It's all the same so l am not called down.
Having to watch some of the friends of the
Administration who attend the State Fair, l
will be unable to meet you, feller citizens,
who stood up for me and us in time OF need;
Being unable to meet you, for reasons stated
and for more important ones withheld, l
shall convey to you a few gentle hints in
regard to the coming campaign and how you
may best hoodwink the people
Yon sec we can't corral Douglas, as the
principles he advocates are "too hefty" for
us; therefore we must praise HIM and 6ldck
his followers Then, again, you see, popu'
lar sovereignty must be maintained, but tins
is best carried out by our doing your think
ing, and if we are somewhat brief on this
point, It's because we desire to keep you in
the dark. You can say, however, that we
are willing to give the largest liberty to the
people to do their own thinking and voting,
always provided, they think and vote our
way. This great and glorious Union having
been entrusted to as, with all its benefits, tits
our duty, you see, to keep the patronage in
the hands of those who have plant Ditts, and
let none but of our stripe have show.
Those of this stripe who come up to the
scratch have their reward now or prospec'
tive Our benevolent Uncle Sam has many
favors to shower upon us, and you can be,
as we are, liberal in your promises to those
who desire to taste the public pap. Bid these
welcome and look to the future; and should
they ever get taste, wish them joy.
Douglas has denounced us and proven us
to be allied to the Republicans in Illinois, but
that is not California; therefore, l consider
it iustifable to use the very words that he
denounces us with, to sustain our cause.
Having been interrupted at this point by
dry friend, am reluctantly compelled to
take leave of you, but shall be happy to
meet you again in any campaign where
