HopE IN THE FUrURE. Some day, we most de-
vouty hope, the statesmen aud politicians OF
California may take il into their heads to try and
make themselves useful to their fellow citizens,
instead of eXpending their strength aud talents
in the vilainous ambition of outrvaling each
other in gladiatorial feats of blackguardism.
Some day they may think it more praiseworthy
to build up the State than to crush one another
more noble to cherish and enhance the CONNER
cal, manufacturing, and agricultural interests of
their common constituency than to fevershly
rummage their v0cabularles for blistcrlng exple-
tivcs to hur at their rvals-more consonant
with the welfare aud glory of humanity to assist
in elevating the people of California In the scale
of educational and moral excellence than to play
the parts of demagogues for the amusement OF
the stupid, the vulgar, and the base. That day
"a day In which the people OF California will not
have very much occasion to blush Tor the short
comings of their great men-will surely come,
long even before the iron horse snorts on the At
antC and Pacific Railroad, and we hope to live
to see it, for it will be glorious day for Callfor-

BURCu AT PLACERvmLE-A Democratic mass
meeting at Placervlle on the 10TH was address
ed by Latham, Burch aud Cope In reference to
Mr. Burch's speech the Democrat says:
He discussed the different questions with
ability and power, and convinced every unpreu-
dceu lnau present thhI thcre was Dut llttle " any
difference between Brodercklsm and Republican
ism; that both were fighting the Democratic
party; that the Democracy rgdly adhered to
the Cincinnati Platform that the integrity OF
the party was threatened by apostatcs and dema-
gogues that the Democracy had abandoned no
principle, incorporated no new article in their
creed were opposed to all factions, sms and
sectional issues that il was the party of progress,
and would maintain, at all hazards, the Constitu-

to greatness. He was frequently appauded, and

would be to " force the issue" in slavery legsla-
ton upon the Northern popular sovereignty IA
natics, and do it in such u manner as would make
them responsible for the effects of a dissolution
which their resistance would hasten. In support
of this plan he wrote letter, in 1917, ia which
he suggested the propriety Of calling Southern
Convention which should so manage its business,
with the cooperation OF all the Southern sea-
board States, that L" the non slavehoding States
would be compelled to observe the stipulations
Of the Constitution in their (our) favor, or aban-
don their trade with us, or to take methods to
cocrce us which would throw on them the respon-
sblity of dissolution In 1913, speaking of
the new doctrine of popular sovereignty, Calhoun
said OF all the positions ever taken on the
subject. slavery legislation this of popular SOW
ereignty is the most absurd" He advocated the
true democratic doctrine, at that time the doc
trine which we have ever secretly maintained
that the Constitution, by virtue of its own intrin-
sic power, carried slavery into all the Territories,
above the power OF the people to remove 1t, save
by an amendment Of that instrument He died,
but his PLAN, identified with our policy, lived,
and still lives.

Stephen A. Douglas to that plan, nor to the fool

sovereignty arouses among the Ignorant masses.

dangerous principle, and deny that it belongs
in any manner to the Democratic party. We
stand on the ground marked out by Calhoun.
We believe that the people should rule, but only
within the proper limits. The fate of all the
Republics of antiquity admonish us of the fatal
danger which would arise were every principle OF
government left in the hands of the people. A

OF a Constitution, where every prerogativc is de-

RETROGRADING.-W seem to be going back to
the days of greaser barbarity, if we may judge
from what we almost every day behold in our
streets. The sound of music attracts our atten-
ton, and when we turn onr eyes to see from
whence it comes, flaming advertisement Of an
intended bull fight meets our gaze. We supposed
we had law prohibiting such heathenish eXhibi-
tions, but in recent trial, some legal loop hole
was discovered through which the guilty party
was allowed to escape. And so it goes. Men
break our laws with impunity and the public
must endure the consequences, because advantage
is taken of echnicalities. What farce the en-
acting and administration of laws seem to be =

Their faith upon
The holy test of pike and gun"

Aud that faith was their dearest earthly trea-
sure nearly all Of their legislation having refer
ence to its establishment and protection, under
the sanction Of force They never recognized a
political popular sovereignty like that of the
modern school Of fanatics. Nor did this doctrine
form any part Of those which were so maniully
and successfully announced and defended by the
patriots Of the Revolution. Pluribustah says that
struggle originated n a joke, played by Pluribus
tab himself on Mother Britain in whose tea he
mixed large amount Of salt sea water" The
old lady did not see the goak, but fell into
furious passion. He took it coolly for some timc
but
"At last, he got his grit up
Up to concert pitch and higher;
And he swOrc eternal vengeance,
If she didn't stop her jawing.
Said he couldn't strike a woman
But, if she would send champion
lie would wallop him like blazes."
She sent his big brother, John Bull, who, after
fight which lasted seven long years, cried
" enough and was sent home in a " Jersey clam
boat"
Thomas Jefferson was not Democrat. He
held to the doctrine of popular sovereignty, In its
fullest extent, and was always ready to oppose or
point out the dangers which would result from
the Capitalization of power in the person of the
Federal Executive. lie wished the people to
rule, aud carried his devotion to the doctrine
even to enthusiasm, as absurd and wild as that of
its more modern supporters. The doctrine grew
under many favorng circumstances until it re-
ceived most fortunate and effective check by the
formation OF a Democratic party, led by John G.
Calhoun, and conceived by that statesman upon
reading the reply Of Pluribustah to bis wife,
Liberty, who told him TO give up or send of
Cufiee, or she would leave him. lie
Told her be should keep The Niger,
She might go about her business
That ii they l0ere now divided,
She it was dissolved the union,
She dissolved this Glorious Union
Threatened that If she should leave him,
He would find q female Cuiiee,
And with her would force the issue
Mr.. Calhoun, like a true Democrat, and far
seeing politician and statesman, saw how beauti-
fully Pluribusah shifted the responsibility OF
dissolution upon Liberty, and how convenient it

THE BEREAvED MOTHERS OF SAcRAMENTo.-The
Sacramento Bee tells of the present state of ma
ternal piety in the Capital City. The Rev. Mr..
Hill, while preaching his farewell sermon, on
Sunday evening, stated that several members of
his society had met with Affections in losing small
children, and a source of consolation, the pas
tor acceded to request to deliver discourse to
" bereaved mothers" He did so upon a specially
selected evening, and, singular as it may seem,
not one of the bereaved parents attended, al
though several of them did not fail to visit the

THE EDlTOR ABROAD AND AT HoArE.-The last
number of the Nevada Journal comes with Lc-
compton colors still flying but with the au-
nesncement that " after this week it must again
relapse into old-logyism." A column of the pa
per contains illustrations of scenes and persons
described in the absent editors correspondence.
As the Administration will receive no further
support, we give few of the retiring editors
paragraphs
Our party censors tried to explain to US in the
outset that party paper must not be tied down
to stale truths, and especially must not let outs-
ders into party secrets. The fact is, we talked as
if we were talking only to the initiated, and let
slip many matters that are not usually told to
any except wire-pullers. We have tried to do
better this week. but Lecomptonism is hard
road to travel for any one who tries to be decent
there we spoke out again, but couldn't help
it. We're afraid we will keep talking.
VmGINIANs FOR OFFICE There are no better
men for Office than Virginians, as is proved by
their being so much in office Our venerable
President knew this fact, and so put Virginans
into all the federal Offices in the State. As these
appontees sustain the administration by getting
into convention, they of course carry out the
policy of Buchanan be nominating from the class
peculiarly favored by him, and by him endorsed
as lit to govern the State. Besides, by keeping
such men in Office our State has thus far avoided
the necessity for poor-houses, DC.
LET lIpi TRY IT.--If any honest man who is
troubled with an overweening sense OF his mental
calibre, would like to test his thinking apparatus
just let him edit a Lecompton paper for two
weeks, and if he don't " weaken on the turn"
then we don't " know hawk from hand saw"
GREAT SmmARrrY.-A celebrated convict once
described to US how he felt, Immediately after the
commission of his first felony and some how or
other his account of it was a very accurate de-
scripton of the feelings which we have expert
enced since the publication of our last issue.
ADDRESSED TO RIDGE.-We tell you, John
Ridge, Of the Marysville Democrat, that we are
still an 4" ancient steady and consistent Know
Nothing sheet" The administration came over
to our politics. and we therefore support it'll
we back out.
The S. f. Times laughs at us for our change of
politics. BE still, now we won't have blacks
grinning at us,
TIE returned editor says We returned to our
post too late this week to prevent another broad
side of devilment from the subs, but we promise
to down with the Lecompton colors and endeavor
to make our columns respectable again as soon
as possible.

DARE AND DO.
BY WILLIAM c. CAMERON.

Upward-onward Fellow-workman;
Ours the battlefield of Life
Meier foot to foemen yielding,
Pressing closer midst the strife
Forward in the strength of manhood
Forward in the fire of youth
Aim at something meier surrender
Arm thee in the mail Of truth.
Though thy way be strewn with dangers,
Summer rain-drops lay the dust;
Faith and hope are two-edged weapons
Which win ne'er belle thy trust,
Shrink moi, though host surround thee,
Onward Duty's path pursue;
All who gild the page Of story,
Knew the brave words-Dare and Dol
Miller was a rough stone-mason;
Shakespeare, Goldsmith, Keats, and Hood
Franklin, Jerrold, Burns, and Clifford,
Had to toll as we for food.
Yes-these men, with minds majestic,
Sprang from ranks the rich call poor;
Cast halo round brown labor;
Had to lc-ight-endure
Forward, then; bright eyes are beaming;
Fight nor lose the Conquerors Crown;
Stretch thy right hand-seize thy birthright
Take it--wear It'll thine own;
Stay the giants which beset thee;
Rise to manhood-glory-fam
Take thy pen, and in the volume
OF the gifted, write thy name

1t was ascertained that the American
loss amounted to two hundred killed, six
hundred wounded, and about four hun
dred prisoners.
But how Jared George Madden? how
fought the new recruit?
An old mana survivor of the ranks
told us that he fought with the feroci-
ty Of tiger, and that just previous to.
the commencement of the attack, young
STRIPPING presented himself to the officers
and requested to be placed side by side
with the hardy battlers of liberty. His
request was granted for no time was
allowed for questions or considerations
end he was placed by the side of Mad
den, who only noticed him by look of
approval as the troops wheeled into line.
He fought bravely and well--foot to
foot, sometimcs--breast1to breast. But
in vain the contest useless the struggle.
History tells us of that disastrous field,
and how, like the waves of the ocean,
the brave troops of Washington, under
their heroic leader, gathered ana broke,
again and again, upon the resisting forces
of the enemy, but without effect. ouly to
meet defeat and death Night shrouded
the victory of our opprossors, and hung
gloomy and thick over the camp of our
responding, but not discouraged, coun-
trymen
But the early light of the succeeding
day beamed upon a spectacle more hor-
rible. There lay heaps of the dead, the
wounded, and the dying But, little
apart from the rest, upon green mound,
stained only with their own blood lay
two forms clasped in the faithful embrace
of death. The elder and moro manly
form Of the two was recognized as that
of Madden, and the other the fair vol
unteer of the preceding day They
were locked in last embrace, aud. try
ing to part them, it was discovered that
the slender and delicate form was that Of
woman
The hearts Of the veterans grew big
as they gazed upon the melancholy spec
tacle, and they forbore to part them, but
placed them locked in each others arms
in the same grave, and as the earth was
thrown over them, no sacred rite was
performed, but the tears of brave sol
diers were sufficient pleaders at the Bar
Of Heaven, and their sad thoughts an
appropriate funeral prayer for the sweet
rest and perpetual happiness of two such
rare spirits

RI" Geo. p Marsh, in recent lee
ture on the English language, says that
the English words found IN use BY good
scholars, hardly fall short Of 100 900.
Even if a man was able on extraordnla-
ny occasions to bring into use halfof that
number be generally contonted himself
with far fewer. Each individual used in
bis daily life a repertory Of words to
some extent peculiar to himself Pew
scholars used as many as 10, 900 English
words ordinary people not more than
5000. In ollShakspoarc there we're not
more than 10, 900 words in all Milton
. 900. Of the Egyptian hierogIypliics
there were but 500, and it was said that
the vocabulary Of the Italian Opera was
scarcely greater.
