!sLATURE.-Governor Conway, of Arkansas, has
mad to resort to the unusual exercise of the au-
thority vested in him by the Constitution of that
State, to adjourn the Legislature by Executive
proclamation, under the following circumstances:

pletely over In running he struck post

That Repudiated Sheet.

The totterine, doomed concern on First
street sets IN a periodical howl of BLACK
Republicanism' against this paper 1t hum
drums along for week or two, and then, all
of a sudden shrieks out spasmodically,
oBlack Republicanism !" Coalition" !" Flu
sionl" "Broderck Republican (" and other
set phrases of the parrot Lecompton press.
Marvelously proper it is, too, that shame
less boitinq institution. that is entirely dis
connected aud disseuered from the Democracy
the regular organization, should take to task
tie Acknowledged organ of that same democ-
rncy, for an alleged proclivity to Republican,
ISM When ,cS take instructions as to what
constitutes Democratic principles, we shall
go to a journal which is at least recognized
as Democratic in its own section of the coun
try. Scorned and spit upon, rejected and re
pudiated by the regular Democratic organi-
zation of this county, it is the very height
of brazen faced presumption in that sheet to
talk about Democracy at ALL and We only
mention its charges of Repubcanism against
us, to despise them.
That bogus, boiling, sickly concern, talks
about this papers being under obligations
to support Republieanism. We are under
obligations to support nothing that does not
suit us, and of that we have given good ev
| idence We claim to be fearless and indie
pendent in the expression of our views. At
the same time, we are thoroughly Democrat
ic-we cling to the old, time-honored land
marks of our party-we are for popular SOW
ereignty in its broadest and most liberal sense,
because we believe in the capacity of the
people for self government, and because it is
old fashioned Democratic doctrine. We are
prepared to denounce treason to the Demo
cratic party, and to tell the traitors what we
think of them They may howl back Black
Republication" as much as they like-it is
the trick of the renegade crew-it is the
subterfuge of the flying rogue who cries "stop
thief, stop thief" in order to divert suspi-
eion from himself and to put his pursuers on
the wrong track--it is the miserable resort
of Lecomptonism. in oil parts of the coun-
try, which is afraid to meet the responsibili-
ty of its own damnable position, and seeks
to avoid scrutiny into its true character by
false accusations against the party which it
has left
The Lecompton party has abandoned the
Democracy, and because men who were for
merly Republicans are willing to acknowl-
edge that popular sovereignty is the true
doctrine, they denounce all popular sover-
eighty Democrats as Republicans If they
be in earnest, what idocy If they be not
in earnest, what knavery! We submit to
any sane man which is the better Democrat,
he who abandons popular sovereignty for
Congressional Intervention, or he who aban-
dons Congressional Intervention for popular
sovreignty?

EplroR DEMOCRAT: Since l wrote to you
on the l4th inst, the weather has been quite
warm and the snow has melted away before
the mild rays of the sum, so much so that al
most all of our miners have commenced work
or will commence on Monday next Our
streets are being thronged with strangers,
and business of every kind will soon wear an
aspect of cheerfulness. As yet there has been
very little gold dust sold or purchased in our
banking houses. The snow is now about six
feet deep, and whilst am writing 1t is fall
ing very fast with strong south wind, but
it is warm and melting very fast Our ditch
es are all full Of water, and the miners expect
a full and long run of water this year. Some
few have sold small lot of the shining ore,
but as general thing there is but little in
the market.
At Howland's Flat and Pine Grove, six
miles east of La Porte, the miners are all do
inI remarkably well. 1t is said that the
Bright Star Company, in working up their
drift dirt, (ths company is at Howlands 5
Flat averaged one hundred dollars per hour.
and they get it out faster than they wash it
up. Other companies at the same place are
said to lie doing full as well.
At st. Louis the mines are all at work, but
how they are doing l cannot say, as there
have been no sales of dust reported yet.
The miners as general thing, in all our
mining localities in this vicinity have com
menced to work and will soon he able to sell
large amounts of the precious metal In our
own locality, as a general thing, everything
looks better and wears the aspect of Spring,
and soon l expect to hear of some large
strikes being made, of which l will keep you
advised.
We have two banking houses in La Porte
in full blast, and another to be opened in
few days by our fellow. w.townsman Dave

Show Your Hand.

EDIroR DEMOCRAT Il would like through
your columns to ask the stupid weathercock
institution known as the California Express,
what side they are on this time and whose
interests they desire to advocate. They seem
to be at loggerheads with the Lecompton
party for can nowhere find in their chang
ing columns any publication of call for an
Administration State Convention. Can it be
that they are trimming their sails to support
the Douglas Democratic ticket? 1t will be
of little avail if they do for it is too well
known that any party can get them which
seems likely to be in the majority | would
advise them to be on one side or the other,
and, if they are Administration, to publish, as
is usual with party organs, the call for the
Administration State Convention. CEDRIC.

apprehended by deputy sheriff 1--WE believe)
of Colusi county, who thereby receives re-
ward of S4oO Jacob Shelley, who was ar
