A SToRM.-The present rainy season
viii stand recorded as the coldest, most
iisagreeable, and interspersed with the
fewest sunshiny days. of any since the
grand advent Of Americans 10 the count

been uniformly cold,-a little warmer

February in the ten years we have been
resident of California. has been as
stormy as this. Usually it is for the
most part one Of the pleasantest m ,nths

nifed by the name of storm was e1pel.
cnccd till Wednesday night, when the

~ 1t is a strange and inexplicable

y 1t is. a strange and inexplicable
sight to see an old line. loyal, Wing in
the ranks and an advocate of Democra-
cy, and stranger still to find him afillia-
ting with that faction whose head is the
slanderer of the immortal statesman, the
acknowledged embodiment of whig prin-
eiples But the spectacle is too frequent.
and wholly unsatisfactory to those who
square their public and private lives by
the same code Of morals.
We find men, once the intrepid SOL
dicrs in that old and gallant but van
quished purity. now mingling with their
former enemies, aspiring to and some
times obtaining the choicest Offices, who
profess the most devoted attachment to
Wing principles still. The wonder of
the correct moralist is, how such an asso-
citation can be defended by any known
rules for the regulation of human conduc,
ls there any principle in the present
Democratic party, even one, that rec
cmmends itself so strongly to Wing
that he is willing to yield all else to
that : Buchanan, it is true, recomm ends
a restoration of specific tariff duties
to some extent; but VIC fail to discover
another act in "our venerable President"
that even squints of Whig policy, Is
the present locofoco party better, purer
or more worthy in any respect than in the
days of jackson when Wings warred
upon it as if engaged in holy crusade ?
We hear on all sides of the degeneracy
of the Democracy. Its own members
say tits opponents declare it. But
degenerate or not, we see nothing in the
principles of the party at the present
day more consonant with the ideas of
Wings on State policy than ever before
Why do Wings. then, 60 over to their
old enemy protesting still in their hearts
an unalterable yearning for their early
'oyel Apostasy is bad enough; but he
who abjures an ancient faith and espous-
es another is more to be honored than
one who is an apostate in appearance
but hypocrite in fact.
On no ground of rational morality can
the professor of one creed be justified
for worshiping with an in6del. When
you sec Wing in principle swelling
the ranks Of an enemy whose doctrines
he deems heresies against good govern
ment, You will be sure to find the man an
applicant for Office or soon to be one.
His political rule of action is that Of the
Jcsuit-the end justi6es the means
The end is Office and the means very
mean.

dred yards from the jail that he was
attended by sworn officer during all
the time, as we stated in our first article
was both attended and closely watch
ed.
Mr.. Knerr says he knows nothing Of
Mr.. Kendall's presence at the Jail. or his
conversations with Lenhart-tbat he
was not in company with him at the Jail
or elsewhere; when Knerr was at the
Jail, Mr.. Lenhart was absent short dis
tance in full view ofthe parties, and kept
his eye on them till he returned to the
spot. Griffin and another person were
saving up the wood for the County and
piling it in the wood shed. This was in
accordance with an order of the Board
Of Supervisors to the sheriff to put the
prisoners at work.
Mr. Lcnhart denies positively that Ken
dali ever asked him the question stated
in the Democrat, or that he made any
such reply.
As to the congenial researches of the
editor of the Democrat in houses of ILL
fame, we have not the means or taste
to follow him. Any information it can
CLEAN from prostitutes or their hangers
on it is welcome to publish, and reap
all the advantages it can from such ef-
forts to blacken the character Of its bet
ters.
Neither are we to he directed from our
object into discussing the degree of crime
of which Griffin was found guilty. If
we said it was manslaughter, which we
don't rccollect or care, it was mistake.
We said nothing ofthe kind in our last
article. The remissncss of he Sheriff
would neither be more nor less in either
case.
Mr. Mcconnell stated to Mr.. Boring
that he expected to get new trial in the
case-that would make no difference ex-
cept as proving the falsity of the asser.
ton of the Democrat that his attorneys
"had not the Iemotest idea that a new
trial would be granted" After Griffin S
escape, we are informed, the assignment
of errors in the case was withdrawn,
which caused the appeal to be dismissed
We have extended this article to too
great length to attend to certain other
statements of the Democrat, and have
room for but one remark lnore-if it will
inform the public how Moore, although
chained to the floor of his cell. and all but
his lawyers and priests excluded. got first
tools, and afterwards poison-how Shep-
pard got out of the Newgate, De Berne
from the Bastile, &C., we will discuss
with it if we have leisure. how Griffin got
his tools.

.- LEAVE OF ABsRNCE.-Mr Fitzpatrick,
of Sierra, introduced a resolution into
the Senate on Monday. granting leave
of absence to Judge Field for the period
of four months to allow him to visit the
Atlantic States. There is no man in
Office in the State to whom we would
sooner sec the privilege accorded than
to Judge Field; but we are down on the
leave of absence business altogether
1t is doubtful if the Legislature has the
right to grant leave of absence to a pub.
lie officer. and it is very questionable il
the privilege should be granted Su
preme Judge il it had. 1t is generally
understood that the Supreme Court j.
crowded with business, and should Judge
Field. the most industrious of the Judges
be absent. it might result as doubtless i,
would to the detriment of litigants. Be.
sides in those cases where Baldwin and
Terry disagree. thnre could be no dcci.

The BULKHEAD PRoJECT.-One oi
the most important measures upon which
the present Legislature is called to act
decisively, is the Bulkhead for the har-
Dor of San Francisco. That sea wall
around the city front is absolutely neces.
sary for the preservation of the harbor
is generally conceded. The necessity
was years ago apparent, and but for the
lobbying of swindling spectators to OBJ
tain privileges from the State that would
inure to their own benefit rather tn an tn
the harbor of San FIancisco, a more
favorable notice might have been taken
by previous Legislatures of the bulk
head project. 1t has been we'll under
stood .that the harbor was shoaling fast
and that some protection would soon be-
come indispensable. But fears were en-
tertained that unprincipled men were
lying in wait, under cover of the bulk
head project, to play worse havoc
upon the city of San Francisco than
the elements Of nature were doing.
For this reason as we'll as another
having its origin in party prejudice, tt ere
has been heretofore too great an indif-
ference to the wants of San Francisco
manifested by Legislators from the
mountains.
1t has now come to that point when
that Indifference must be overcome if we
wish to preserve to the State its most
priceless gem-the harbor of San Fran
cisco. Late coast surveys demonstrate
the fact that the harbor has filled up
seventeen feet in FIVE years, or nearly
three feet and half year. At this
rate, it is easy to see, that the harbor
will be totally destroyed a: no very dis
tant day.
Such is the universal opinion; but by
whom the protective sea wall is to be
constructed, and where it ought to be
built, are the only questions. The report
of the Senate committee on Commerce
and Navigation recommends its construc-
ton by the deck and wharf companies
and that the wall be constructed as
near as-Pessible the present water from,
of HE city. This is, perhaps. the wis
est recommendation that can be made.

DEBORAH, Sept Sd, 1859.
Dear Colonel IL write you line under
some disadvantage and in haste, to let you
know the result Of the Rep. County Conven-
ton which was held to day here. Twas led to
it, Democrat as am, from.the fact that have
heard almost universal dissatisfaction expressed
by our county Rep. friends with the nomna-
tons that were made. Expressions most en-
phatic and curses loud and deep have been ut
tered against the clique who ''packed" the Con-
vention, and caused such nominations to be
made as they saw proper. I've talked with
but few, but those few and others whom have
heard in conversation, all coincide in the opin-
ion that the Democratic ticket will be elected
entire and hosts of them promise their undi-
vided support to "People's Ticket" provided
the Democracy see fit to nominate one, which
is talked Of considerably.
The following are the regular nominations of
the Rep. Convention to-day: Judge, Hollo-
way Sheriff, Lathrop Representative, Amos
Hoag Recorder, Theodore Burdick
] see in town, today, the publisher of the
new paper Democratic) that is about to be
started in this place. This, too, cheers the
attention and assistance requisite to further
ing him on in his good cause.
Travellers coming to DEBORAH could not do
better than to stopat the DEBORAH HOUSE,
that is, if one may be allowed to judge from its
run of custom, and from the fat aud sleek APP
pearance Of its customers.
Yours, TRANSIENT.
