THIS CELEBRATED GIN-pretendng to no.
l. thing but what it is, viz: pure and unadul-
tcrated article, and assuming no artificial merits
of what it is not, as some of its rival imitators
do-after five years of pnblic approval and very
extensive sales in California, has been pronounc-

the preceding one, thereby causing an unusual

St. Patrick's Day.

At meeting of the citizens of Placer County,
held at the Forest Shade Hotel, on the 18TH or
January, 1859, to take into consideration the
propriety of celebrating the 18th of March next
(St Patrick's Day) among other proceedings
then had, the following resolutions were unan-
mousy adopted:
WHEREAS, National affection prompts the Amer
ican citizen by birth or choice, to look back with
feelings of pride to the land of his forefathers as
one OF the sources from which our glorious Re
public, in its early struggle for liberty, derived
moety of that priceless treasure, free institutions,
which happy millions now enjoy, and
WHEREAS, Those institutions are best perpetu-
ated and preserved by reviving on suitable oc-
casons as examples for our imitation, those an
cesral virtues which gave them origin, and
WHEREAS, American citizens of Irish birth and
descent, have just cause to be proud OF the SAINTS
the heroes the poets the statesmen of the faith
erland and of that spirit of liberty which warm
ed into being by the genial radiance of christian
ity. the Irish nation have always exhibited, as
well in their repeated struggles to resist the en-
croachments and throw off the yoke of foreign
oppression at home, as in the liberal contribution
which its patriots have made to the advancement
of American liberty and glory Therefore
Resolved, That we will with becoming cere
mony, celebrate the 18th of March next, (St.
Patrick's Day., at Forest Hill and vicinity, Pla-
Ger County.
Resolved, That the ties of national brother
mood entltle all Americans to participate In pub
lie celebrations like the one proposed by us, and
that we most cordially and respectfully invite all
who may feel disposed, irrespective of party, ma
tivity, or creed, to assist at said celebration.
RESOLVED, That we earnestly request our fellow
citizens of adjoining counties to unite with us
and participate in the festivities of the occasion.
RESOLVED, That these proceedings be published
in the newspapers of Placer County.
By order of the meeting.

California Central Railroad.

On Saturday last contract was slgaed III
this city by Messrs. Chenery, Binney, Hous
ton and NagIe, for the grading of thirteen
miles additional on the California Central
Railroad. The Sacramento Bee says: The
contract calls for the grading of ten thous-
and yards during the first month, fifteen
thousand the second and twenty thousand
the third and thereafter, till completed.
The total number of yards of grading re-
quired for the thirteen miles, will be about
one hundred thousand. The contractors
intend commencing the work about one
month from this time, and will finish prob
ably by the first of August, at which time
there will be eighteen miles of railroad gra
ded between Folsom and MarysvilIe.
The iron for the thirteen miles, and all
the running stock for the road complete,
will soon be shipped from New York, and
may be expected to arrive socn after the
track is graded. The termni of the road,
as as present contracted for, is at Auburn
Ravine near Gold HlI, and about fifteen
miles from the town of Auburn. At this
point nearly the entire Nevada and a large
part of the Placer county trade will be reach
ed, as roads diverge from this point to the
richest mining regions in California. 1t is
no longer question of doubt, but matter
of certainty, that within few mouths, (ten
at the latest) Sacramento will be within six
hours ride of Nevada, and three of Auburn,
and the avenues of trade and travel that will
be opened with this city, are too numerous
even to contemplate.

The opposition people are seeking to make
a point against the Democracy in connection
with the expulsion of Dr. Duncombe from
the Assembly for ineligbility, by arguing or
pretending to argue, that his expulsion was
a blow at foreign born citizens Without
paving to this shallow bit of demagoguery
the compliment of a serious reply, we will
take the wind out of the sails of the oppos-
ton folks by asking them question or two:
If a Dutchman, or an Irshman, or an Eng
lishnan, or Frenchman, or any other for
eign born person, must become lawful
citizen of the United States before he can
become eligible to Office under our Constitu-
ton and laws, why should not DIR. Duncombe,
who was, and is, British subject, not by
birth but by choice, be required to do the
same thing before he can become eligible9
Is DR.. Duncombe, because born in America,
so much better than an Irishman or Dutch
man. that he can, without any preliminary
or other acts, resume at pleasure the citizen.
ship which he voluntary forfeited in order
to become British subject, while the Irish
man. who never forfeited his citizenship, is
compelled to undergo long probation and
strict conformity to the requirements OF law
before he can obtain the political boon which
DR.. Duncombe claims the privilege Of throw
ing away and resuming at peasures why
should the man who is an alien by choice
have rights and immunities granted him,
that are denied to the man who is an alien
by birth and who, by choice, seeks to become
an American citizen. Marysville Ezpress.
