The ORGAN OF DOUGLAS. - The re-
puted organ of Senator Douglas at the
city of Washington, is the States. If
its editorials are any criterion to judge
ofthe sentiments of Douglas by. he is
destined to make poor exhibition of
himself. The States goes in for no
modification of the tariff, is a staunch
free trade advocate, opposes railroad
across the continent, and talks exten-
sively of our Gulf interests, and the fail
ure of the Administration to maintain
our supremacy there, according to
pledges. Douglas will find himself in
a bad box to indorse his supposed organ
in all things.

WHIG CONVENTION AT RICHMOND,
VA.-The undaunted Wings of the cold
Dominion" have had a convention at
Richmond and nominated splendid
ticket. amid much enthusiasm. Hon.
VIM. NJ. Goggin, of Albermarle, receiv-
ed the nomination for Governor II. p.
Willie, of Monongahela, for Lieut.. Gov
ernor, and Walter Preston, of Wash
ingson county, for Attorney General
John NJ. Bolts. Alex H. H. Stewart,
Ballard Preston and other distinguished
old line Wings are actively and cordial
ly engaged in the move.
The Wing ticket will doubtless re-
ceive but a minority of the votes of
Virginia. But if the efforts of the
Wings in that quarter of the Union are
persisted in, the result will be felt in
the next Presidential election. The
spirit which has been evoked in Virginia
may not be awakened in the North, and
therefore, the late movement of the
Wings may claim only to be a sectional
one, confined only to the South and des-
tined to weaken that section in the cam
vass of 1860, to the advantage of the
Republicans. A corresponding move
ment on the part of the old Wings of
the free States, would, we imagine, do
more injury to Republicans than Dem
ocrats.

Atachmeat Lar. The Democrat
tax es back, this week what ii said last,
in reference to the restoration of the old
attachment law and thereby did very
foolish thing again. We haven't asked
single business man in the city how
he stands affected towards the attach
ment law quest ion. we can now recol-
lect of, out from the inevitable nature
of things we are willing to put up a
small wager that majority of all the
substantial merchants of this city prefer
the old attachment law to the present
one. The fact that a debt can rarely
be collected as law now stands is suf-
fcient authority for speaking for mer-
chants in this manner

LIBRARY ON MoKELUMNE RIVER
The ladies on Mokclumne river, near
Staples Ranch, through their efforts in
sewing society, succeeded lately in
obtaining one hundred volumes of stand
ard works from San Francisco, as a
foundation for local library.
History will have to record the ex
istence of ore sewing society which was
sometimes usefully employed. The la
dies near Staples Ranch are to be rec
commended as models to their sisters the
world over.

TART.-The Sacramento Union and
the STANDARD are making a few bellig-
erent passes at each otter. In reply to
a card in the Standard from Harden
burgh, Anthony rejoins, ending as fol-
lows with more than hint:
ain response to the facetious portion
ofithe gentleman's card, | am willing to
admit that Hardenburgh would never
have betrayed his Lord and Master at
any price, for He would have never Civ
en- him the opportunity. Instead of al
lowing Ii, to carry the bag (uide St
John, 18th chapter, 9th verse,) as the
Savior did his great prototype, he
would have been mighty sure to have
placed it in a patent safe, if there were
any in those days about Jerusalem. 1t
is at least fair to presume this. if our
Lord only knew him half as well as do
the people of Sacramento.

Adcersity T'eachetA Visaom.-Forney
furnishes the world in himself Of a re-
markable case of standard politician,
learning wisdom from adversely. He
tried every means, by hook or crook, to
boost this political idol, Buchanan, into
the Presidency, and what with his assu-
rance and what with the great numeri-
cal strength of the Democracy, the old
fellow was lucky enough to win. Poor
Forney now finds himself the victim of
misplaced confidence. The effect has
been salutary. He sets himself to NOR
alizing on the depravity of politicians,
and deduces several good principles for
parties to observe if they would. We
fear that, like death-bcd cogitations and
resolutions, Forney has arrived at his
political morality too late to benefit
mankind much by their exempliication
in himself or by their promulgation.-
Truths sound better coming from one
who has arrived at them by healthy
perception, OF sound reflection, than
when driven home by the treachery of
particeps criminis. Forney, however,
gets up the best paper in the Democratic
ranks.

A REvoLUTIoNIsT-T Columbia
Neacs says Isaac Hare, the leader of the
Shasta mob, against the Chinese is a
regular revolutionist. He was leader
in the mob that burned the churches of
St. Michael and st. Augustine at Ken
sington in Pennsylvania, in 1874 also,
a leader in the attempt to destroy the
church at Soutbwick soon after Hare
was also tried in Mexico, convicted of
an attempt to murder and rob a Mexi-
can merchant, and sentenced to be shot.
The treaty of peace interfered to save
his life.
The fact that Hare was sentenced to
be executed in Mexico, was long well
known but we never heard it used
against him by his political opponents.
Hare was a good Democratic member of
the Assembly in 1S56-now his old
friends are telling tales on him. This
twitting don't sound well.

partisan sheet, by the latter paper. The

"Having never entertained a very ox-
alted opinion of that style of journalism
which exhausts its energies in compos-
ing an epitaph to an expiring beetle, or
illustrating the progress Of a turtle while
seeking his home in the far, far distant
sea, we never expected to receive its
commendation. Indeed, we would much
prefer the i'll opinion of its conductor
for his praise has been fatal to every en-
terprise which was SO unfortunate as to
call it into exercise.

The WILL OF GEN. MONTGOMERY.
The following copy of the will left by
this gallant Irishman. who fell, in his
memorable attack on Quebec, was lately
discovered in some of the archives in
the State of New York, and published
The last will and testament of Rich
ard Montgomery. l give to my sister,
Lady Ranelagh, of the Kingdom of
Ireland, all my personal fortune, for her
sole use, to be disposed of as she pleases,
except such legacies as shall be hereaf-
tel mentioned, all my just debts being
first paid. Also, I give to my said sis
ter my estate at Kings Bridge, near
New York, for her sole use, to be dis
posed of as she thinks fit. To my dear
wife, Janet Montgomery, give my fur
niture, farm utensils, carriages of all
sorts, horses, cattle, slaves, books,
clothes, watch, mathematical, philosoph-
ical instruments and apparatus. also
leave to my said wife the farm l pur-
chased from Shave, at Rhinebeck, with
houses and everything upon it. The
ample fortune that my wife will succeed
to makes it unnecessary to provide for
her in manner suitable to her situation
in life, and adequate to the warm affec-
ton l bear her. My dear sisters large
family wants al! can spare. I could
wish to recommend one or two of her

ton. must request my much honored
father-in law, the Hon. Robert Living

(whose good sense and integrity l have
all confidence in,J to see this last will
and testament executed. Though the
hurry of public business, and the want
of knowledge of the law, may render
this instrument incorrect, yet | believe
my intention is plain. l hope, therefore,
that no advantage will be taken of my
inaccuracy. My brothers, whom /
greatly esteem and respect, will accept
of what alone | have in my power to
give-my warmest wishes for their hap
