HARD on THE " PREss."-The Marysville Err
press does not seem to admire Congressman
Scott very hugely 1t says that he has been so
true and answering in his fealty to his clique
that he has forgotten, except in one or two pro-
minent instances, his allegiance to his party or
even to his State"
Whereupon the s. f. National calls the Ex-
press that malicious print" and wishes it
Ito expressly understand that however
partisan hate may render such expressions ex-
pressible, that used by public Journal, as ex-
pressing truly, an expression of popular senti-
ment, they are expressionless, and by no means
expressive of the opinions of the democracy of
California. Indeed they are so far from being
expressively true, whatever may be their fam
cied expressiveness, that their expressure should
bring down upon the Express, with great ex-
pressness, and depressing influence, an ire
pressible condemnation, which should not be
suppressed. Our impression cannot be COM
pressed within less space, for this reason the
Express must 'stand the press" If it gains pres
tige by this charge we endure the PRESSURE
and exclaim, Z" Presto change!"
Ay, Mr. Express, change and take it all back
prestissimo, if you would not have the prester of
the author of these expressions swell to degree
beyond suppression.

REcoNsIDERED.-The bill for dividing the
State into Congressional districts which passed
the Senate, was subsequently, reconsidered and
indefinitely postponed. We regret this, and are
glad to observe that Senator Garter favored the
bill, for the very good reasons that
" 1t would put stop to the operations of log
rolling politicians-it would prevent them from
bringing up their candidates, and springing ques-
tions in Convention. The argument against the
bill, that, within two years, it would be neces-
sary to re district the State was bad one. The
proposed bill involved little expense and trouble
This year Congressman were to be nominated
Why not, then, let the Districts nominate them
Thus the northern and southern portions of the
State would both be suited-an object which
could only be obtained by allowing the people
to select candidates through the usual channels

She gave her husband his breakfast, buttoned
him up in bis oyercoat, and put him out of the
door with his face in the direction of the store,
in less time than have taken to tell it. Then
she snatched up six little PARROTS, scrubbed
their faces up and down without regard to feel
ings or pug noses, till they shone like a row of
milk cans.

days. She never drew a long breath till the wash
tubs were turned bottom upwards again. and
every article of wearing apparel sprnkled fold
ed, ironed, and placed on the backs of their re-
spective owners. 1t always gave me stitch in
the side to look at her.
As to her cleaning days, 1 never had courage

thought the latter would rise, she set her skinny
arms akimbo, marched up within Kissing dis

and asked if g thought she looked like a wo-
man to be trifled with by loaf of bread ?" The
way l settled down into my slippers, without a
reply, probably convinced her that l was no
longer skeptical upon that point.
Saturday evening she employed in winding up
everything that was unwound in the house, the
old entry clock included. From that time till
Monday morning, she devoted herself to her hus-
band and Sabbatical exercises. All | have to
say is, that it is to be hoped she carried some of
the fervor of her secular employment into those

Orleans journal. The pretended friends Of

Henry Clay on the Fugitive Slave Law


"Zf the agitation in regard to the FUGI-
TIVE SLAVE LAW should continue to in-
crease, and become alarming, it will lead to
the formation of two new parties, one for
the Union, and the other against the Union.
Present parties have been created by the di-
vision of opinion as regards systems of Ma
tional policy; and as to finance, free irade,
or protection, the improvement of rivers,
and harbors, the distribution of the proceeds
of the public lands, &c; but these systems
of policy, springing out of the administra-
ton of the Government of the Union, lose
all their interest and Importance if that
Union is to be dissolved. They sink into
utter insignifcance before the all-mportant,
pervasive and paramount interest Of the
Union itself, and the platform of that Union
party wU be the Union, the Constitution
AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF IT'S
LAWS. l ANNOUNCE

The Placer herald., 1859-10-29

The Lincoln Herald, one of the Black
Republican sheets Of Illinois, thus disgraces
itself Itsays:
jackson, he says, was a amurderer--a cruei
man-having no respect for laao or rirtue.
Clay was blood thirsty man, gambler and
adulterer, and accused Of corruption, and un-
til his latter days bis word could not be re-.
lied upon. Calhoun's doctrines would sully
the reputation of devil. Webster whom
the old Wing party honored with the name
of sGod-lke'-no man can prove that he
possessed hairs weight Of moral principal.
He had no settled opinion which could not
be bought for money. Brides without pum-
Der Glove to his hands. The money Of other
men purchased the filthy embraces of con-
cubines, and filled the bowls ct dissipation.
Old age did not destroy his vices; he died,
so far as we know, as he lived selfiishly
ambitious and swinishly impure. Benton.
too, was murderer, and stabber of repu-
tations, &c. Such, then, were the political
heroes of the last generation, murderers,
adulterers, d,unkards and takers Of brides
The editor must consider himself a saint.
