SOMETHING LIKE BULL HEADED OrrosrIoN.

SOMETHING LIKE BULL HEADED OPPOSITION.
In its purbiad zeal of opposition to every man
and measure Democratic, the Sacramento Union
dstresses community with great deal of ride
uous opinion, commonly Of anegative character
Never originating an important measure or Crap
pling boldly with question, until the stronger
sentiment Of community has been ascertained,
its chief word producers are content to be camp
followers, rather than the advance scouts of
progression. In addition to Father Ritchie's
seven principles five loaves and two fishes
they have another opposition to the Admins
tration, right or wrong Imagining the President
exerted improper influence in favor Of the south
ern and against the central stage route, the paper
is ncessant in feeble denuuciations Of the Ad-
ministration, Notwithstanding every person, of
common sense, who has Travelled the route, is
aware that no sort OF ofregularty could be expected
on road traversed in winter over snow noun
tains, at times, absolutely impossible Still, with
'bull- headed stubbornness its superiority is
asserted in the face Of all common sense and
experience, and the Administration is berated for
not causing an appropriation for central route
snow-shovels and st. Bernard dogs. In like
manner the same philosopher invokes all the
gods in judgement on the President for the suit
instituted by Government against parties who
occupy New Almaden Quicksilver mines by a
forged title; the argument being that nasmuch
as two other claimants ready to prefer claims,
if the present holders are beaten it is better to
let the possessors remain undisturbed- the argu-
ment Of the fox and flies But, the motive prin-
cple to the commission Of both absurdities is
unconditional opposition to every measure Of
a Democratic Administration no good can
come out of an evil Nazareth
AS an humble citizen, possessing the right to
entertain and express opinion, we cannot approve
every measure recommended by Mr. Buchanan
thousands, humble as we, have so expressed by
words or acts but no citizen, properly esteeming
the dignity Of a liberal government that gives
him protection, will seek to pervert every act of
an Administrative to monstrous iniquity or tur-
ptude, merely because Of partisan antagonism.
Such seems to be the purpose OF the random
talking politicaster in question.

ULrRA SoUrnRoN, FROM THE NORTHERN BORDER.
Tho San Francisco Natioaa} is edited by Mr..
George Washington-a very distant relative of
the late Gen. George, and "a hrother h.li.,uo
OF Benjamin. BY its extreme southern prcjudices
and ultra scctonalsm the National is nuoccutly
working great injury TO the Democratic party,
stirring up strife and division where union only
should be desired. In late number, the editor
condemns a writer for the Sacramento Union,
because q brother Of that person had been driven
from Mobile for retailing abolition books! This
e1treme southron-if we mistake not, and we
formerly resided in an adjoining county-is n
native Of one Of The extreme northern counties
OF Virgina-so near that we presume the mater
nal ancestor may have put out her washing to
dry on Mason and DiXon's line Negroes, in that
ncigbborhood are almighty sea 'ce;' the habits,
industry and peaceful pursuits of the farmers Of
Jefferson and Berkely counties nearly assimilate
those Of their Iee-State neghbors across The Po-
tomac. People there concern themselves very
little about the institution Of slavery; what few
negroes they have are well used, and are a great
deal happier, iatter and better clothed than the

If slavery nowhere else cntailcd more OF human
suffering there would be but little African misery
for abolitonists to weep over If in that section

These things considered, we are amazed at the
sectional ferocity Of our young cotemporary,
George, and we are quite sure that If he were
back in Charlestown, the old folks would admon-
sh him not to 60 on so'-especially since he
resides in State where people do not wish to
be embittered against each other on question

holders. Is is now feared that the work will

Messrs. f. Schley and Henry Reynolds,
two of the Commissioners of Public Works
of Maryland have made report in relation
to the condition of the Chesapeake aud OHIO
Canal. They state that during the pnst year
the sum of Ss9 1870 was expended for extra
ordinary repairs, caused by breaches to dams
Nos. 4 and 5, and other casualties. The
masonrv dams now under construction. and
which will be completed in the current year,
at cost of $780, COO, in addition to what has
already been expended upon them will, it is
believed, prevent the recurrence OF the disas-
ters which have entailed such heavy expen.
Sea. The cost of these dams can, it is be-
lieyed, be betrayed out of the years revenue
and 10 the course of two or three years other
improvements, involving cost of about
500 600, can also be made, aud paid tor
ont of the accruing revenues Of the canal.
