Contemplate. sectionaIism.

One objection which is made against the DEM
ocratc State ticket viz that it is sectional,
being principally made up of men of southern
birtn-is most contemplate. 1t is rank Know
Nothingism. Men who use it would also urge
as an objection to candidate that he was born
out of the United States. The S. F. Neacs in
indulsing in a long string of most disgusting
charges against Mr.. Latham, says
He labors with peculiar delight in sustain
ing purely sectional, southern ticket before
the people of national and free state"
Now this same Neics is laboring for the Anti
compton ticket, which is made up of men
80, Of northern birth. Gf the t,celce names
upon that ticket, all but three are men of north
ern birth and one of the three, Booker, the
Anti-Lecompton voters generally, in the largest
counties in the state at least intend to drop for
Baker, one OF the Black Republican nominees
for Congress. Thus the NetCs, while support
ing ticket composed almost entirely of men
originally from the northern section of the
Union, is finding fault with the Democracy for
supporting ticket composed of men, majori-
ty of whom happened to be born in the South
In this connection we may remark that, two
years ago, the regular Democratic State ticket
was composed almost entirely of men of north
ern birth. There were only two Southern men
on the whole ticket Why did not Democrats
who happened to be born south of Mason &
Dixons line, find fault with that ticket? Did
the editor of the Ne1os, or any of those who are
now acting with him, complain of that ticket
because of its sectional character
The truth is, in the Convention two years ago,
as in the Convention of the present year, the
question as to where a candidate for nominal
ton was born, was not thought of, much less
asked. The only enquiries propounded were
Is he a reliable Democrat? Is he Californian
Is he honest? Is he capable? If he, or his
friends for him, could respond to these ques-
tions affirmatiyely, a candidate was deemed
worthy to stand for the honors of a nomination.
Several years ago the members of then very
powerful party in this State, before voting for a
candidate, were pledged to ask Of him the ques-
ton, Where were you born?" If the candi-
was deemed unworthy. The Democrats-and
the editcr of the Ners, who is an Englishman
by birth, among the number-denounced that
party as anti-democratic, anti i-republican and
anti-national. Now we find many of the same
men, who thus denounced that party, acting
with the Aati-Lecompton party, and asking a
less liberal question of the candidates on the
Democratic State ticket, to wit: "Where were
you born, north or south of Mason & Dixons
line?" If the candidate responds, South, u
they cry, 'Out with him, he is unworthy l"-
And yet they have the impudence, the mean eff
frontery to charge the Democracy with being
sectionall If there be one drop of honest blood
in the veins of such men, it must blush and
burn in very shame upon their hardened
checks.

To the Men.

Go, squirt the juice, like any sluice,
On carpets-dresses, too;
And then complain, with all your might,
There ne'er hoop for you.
What woman would, or ever could
Embrace a man of worth,
His mouth with 4" luscious juices wet,
And breath-Oh, heaven and earth
No kisses, then, for such pen,
Where pig-like guilds are stored
The spitter'll be, like his own guilds,
Considerably &C foored."

And try that single head"

As the military commander of the department

British authorities of Vancouver's Island and the

the chief factor of the Hudson's Bay Company to
San Juan, for the purpose of seizing an Ameri-

Nancouvers Island to be tried by British laws

ERUPTION OF Mount HooD.-The Oregonian of

phere became suddenly hot about midday. In
the afternoon the heavens presented singular
appearance dark, sivery, condensed clouds
hung over the top of Mount Hood. The next
day several persons watched the appearance OF
Mt Hood until evening. An occasional flash of
fire could be distinctly seen rolling up. On
Thursday night, the fire wasplainly seen by ev-
ery one whose attention could be drawn to the
subject Yesterday the mountain was closely
examined by those who have recently returned
from visit to its summit, when, by the naked
eve or a glass, it seen that a large mass of
the northwest side had disappeared, and that the
immense quantity of snow which, two weeks
since, covered the south side, had also disap-
peared The dense clouds of steam and smoke
constantly rising over and far above its summit,
together with the entire change in its appear
ance heretofore, convince US that Mt. Hood is
now in state of eruption, which has broken
within few days. The curious will examine it
and see for themselves.

Breach ofPromise Case.

We alluded, in our last, to an interesting
prosecution then bAiore our court for breach
Of marriage contract The case was R-nOyel
one, having the unusual feature of being brought
against lady by her discarded lover. 1t was
also novel in another aspect both parties were
married, and the suit was inaugurated since
these marriages. The parties were from Gran
vile, and belong to good families.
George Sherman, the plaintiff, was very
young man whose affections were ardent, and
could not be. trifed with lightly, hence he
claimed ten thousand dollars as the salve for
the injuries he had suffered. Nina Moore, his
plghted love, was also young, and did not seem
to deserve the severe exactiOns Of her lover
She did not deny the affection for him, or her
engagement; but she attempted to Justify her
course by the circumstances, and succeeded so
far as to convince the jury that the damage
which her lover suffered was very slight 1t
seems that Mr.. Sherman had "two strings to
his bow" While he was paying addresses to
Miss Moore, he was also on terms OF intimacy
with the lady that he afterwards married, and a
good deal troubled as to which way he should
decide. But as he was young, and his parents
continued to WELD strong influence over him,
their pleasure in the matter decided him.
On the other hand, the parents of Miss Nina
were greatly averSe to the match and treated
young Sherman unkindly. Nina also had at
tentions from the man she had subsequently
married, and the parents desired that the con-
nection should be forwarded in that direction,
and pressed her very hard to give up Mr. Sher-
man and accept Mr.. George. 1t is nota new
thing that the course OF true love does not run
smooth, and the cross purposes and adverse pur-
poses and adverse desires Of the parents on both
sides sadly puzzled poor Nina, who finally yield.
ed to the wishes of her parents and cast off
Mr.. Sherman. who soon married the young lady
Of whom we have spoken, and who seems to
have di; ided his heart with her rival. Nina,
too, was not long in accepting the hand of Mr..
George and both parties were married, (happ-
ly we believe fore this suit was commenced.
Under these circumstances the jury gave a
verdict OF $50 for the plaintiff and left each
party to pay their own costs. The case attrac-
ted great interest, and eloquent speeches were
made by parties on both side.-Newa'h North

EcSSOA for Lazy wives.

One day sturday peasant was at work in
the fields amidst storm and rain, and went
home in the evening thoroughly tired and
drenched to The skin lie was met at the door
bv his loving wife who had been in all day.
My dear" said she, it rained so hard that
could not fetch water so have not been able
to make you any supper. AS you are wet
through, shall be obliged to you to fetch me a
couple buckets Of water,you can get no wetter;"
The argument was striking; he therefore took
the buckets and fetched some water from the
well which was at considerable distance. On
reaching the house he found his wife comforta-
bly, seated by the fire; then. lifting one bucket
after another, he poured both over his kind and
consIdcrate partner. Now wife," said he
'you are quite as wet as I am, so you may as
well fetch water for yourself; you can't get any
wetter."

Apprenticeship is the most important stage
of life through which a mechanic is called to
pass; it is emphatcally the spring season of his
days--'he time when he Is sowing the seed,
the fruits Of which he is to reap in after years.
If he spares no labor in its proper culture, he Is
sure of obtaining an abundant harvest; but it.
in the culture of the mental soil, he follows the
example of many in tling the earth, and neg
ligentIy does his work, ike them he will find
the seeding time past, and his ground only yield
ing weeds and briars. Let the young apprcn-
tcc bear in mind, when he commences learning
any business, that all hopes Of success in the
future are doomed to fade away like the morn
ing mist, unless he improves the golden season.
Let him bear in mind that he can become mas
ter Of his business only through the closest ap-
plication and the most persevering industry; and
that unless he does master it, he may bid fare
well to all the visions future prospects and sue

the great mechanical editice; and surely, if the
foundation of a structure be not firm the struc
ture itself crumbIes and falls to the earth
Then, young friends, persevere; be studous and
attentive; study we'll all the branches of your

tive part in life, you will not fail to be of use,
not only in your own particular business, EGt
